The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 256

Episode 256: Versatility (1)

[Illusion]

[Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】

【Induces hallucinations in one designated target. You may experience strange sensations or illusions of pain.】

【An ‘absolute trigger’ decision is applied depending on the skill level. You will definitely experience hallucinations for at least 0.75 seconds.】

【50% of your magical power will be consumed immediately.】

‘I didn’t use hallucinations as often as I thought. Although the casting motion is difficult and consumes a lot of mana, it would be a waste to let it go.’

There were more useful skills.

Hallucination skill.

This is a skill I obtained from the boss monster Sammy when I previously conquered the dungeon near Exit 3 of Gwangju Songjeong Station.

The reason why I didn’t use it often was because the skill casting motion was particularly long and there was an aspect of forcing movement.

The hallucination skill, like the wizard hunter’s wide-area magic skill, had a large hand-sign movement.

When the battle is going on quickly, there is no time to relax and make peace.

Even though I had the skills, I had no choice but to be stingy in utilizing them.

However, being able to experience hallucinations of at least 0.75 seconds is an element with great merit.

Besides that.

Kanghu looked at the sight of Gongmyeong, a skill specialized in restoring stamina, the frantic healing undead camouflage skill, Silence Poisoning of the Dead, and Resonance, which corresponds to blindness.

After having fun once or twice in the beginning, I forgot about this skill because I never consciously used it.

After checking the existence of the skill again, I came up with a way to use it.

In particular, Frantic Healing is a skill specialized for recovering stamina, which was also the reason why Ganghu did not need a healer.

‘I hear people say that I cook everything by myself. Even in my opinion, it is true that it has become a skill store.’

Kang Hu showed a satisfied expression.

The hard work so far was not in vain.

The number of skills I have alone exceeds 50. If you include the abilities related to the constellations, there are over 60.

In general, if you think of a hunter of a similar level to Ganghu.

It is common to have eight basic skills plus four or five skills that you have personally acquired or added.

What if you purchase a skill book based on your financial resources or are lucky enough to acquire a few more skills?

The maximum is about twenty skills. At this point, you hear that you really have a lot of skills.

However, Ganghu is well over three times that level, so he is far from common sense.

Therefore, everyone who conquers the dungeon with Ganghu has no choice but to hold out their tongues.

This is because skills keep appearing like cheat keys. And that too, in different forms and characteristics.

‘There is also skill fusion that you can try once you exceed level 500. There’s a lot to look forward to.’

Although it is still a story from a distant country, there is also fusion that combines two skills into one.

A setting that was created to summarize Jang Si-hwan’s skills, which increased almost infinitely in the original work.

At that time, I never imagined that it would be used for the character Shin Kang-hoo.

But now it seems like it will come in handy.

Integrating countless skills while strengthening their characteristics and reducing their number is a necessary task.

* * *

The vegetation section passed without incident.

According to Oh Hye-jin, this was the first time she had passed without engaging in a single encounter with plants.

I’ve tried to conquer this area well over 20 times, but this section has been hell every time.

However, as it passed without incident, I felt refreshed as my stamina was definitely stored up.

Eventually, the plant section ended and large monsters called red giants appeared.

In the past strategy, I said I took a break at this time, but there was no need for that this time.

Ganghu quickly stepped forward and said.

“There are three red giants, so please take charge of one each. “I’ll catch the small fish in the back.”

Excluding the three red giants, about twenty ‘Colossus Guardians’ appeared from the rear.

The Colossus Guardians were small in size, but moved quickly and were skilled with weapons.

The problem is that the Red Colossus recovers a tremendous amount of stamina when the bleeding stops even for a short period of time.

Also, the red giant periodically greatly restored the stamina of the giant guardians.

So, it is said that just like the plant section, the section where you deal with the Red Colossus Guardians used to be hell.

In order to maintain bleeding, you have to focus only on the red giant, and in the meantime, you are interrupted by the giant guardian.

However, if you pay attention to the giant guardian, the red giant’s bleeding will stop and recovery will greatly increase.

And the red giant increases the stamina of the giant guardian again, making it fantastic.

But now that Kang-hu is here, things have changed.

Even though the number was much smaller than the previous attack, a surprising situation occurred.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Ganghu, who had run ahead, stabbed his daggers into the backs of the three red giants.

【The target with the dagger used in the Great Decapitation skill continues to bleed permanently until the dagger is removed.】

It was the ultimate use of Great Decapitation.

Kang Hu stabbed each of the three red giants with the dagger of joy in the sky, the border of bloodshed massacre, in a massive beheading.

A dagger stuck in the middle of the back that you would never be able to reach on your own.

It was difficult to pull it out because it was inserted so hard that the blade was not visible at all.

“Do you see the master? Look at the status window that appears when linked to Geoshin. “The bleeding continues indefinitely!”

Majinho clicked his tongue after seeing the status window information displayed when targeting the red giant.

Meanwhile, Ganghu was dealing with the giant guardians without paying any attention to the red giant.

They were agile guys, but they were helpless against Ganghu, who was much faster than them.

“There is no need to renew the bleeding… is there?”

“Is that okay?”

“It works…” It

wasn’t just Ma Jin-ho who was surprised, but Oh Yu-jin and Oh Hye-jin as well.

Only Park Dong-jae, who had already experienced it, was updating and adding buffs with a proud expression.

“It seems like a skill related to bleeding has been added recently, but this doesn’t seem to make much sense?”

Majinho has worked hand in hand with Kanghu once before.

I definitely didn’t have this skill back then. That is, it was added recently.

Just by having skills related to bleeding, Ganghu’s value is skyrocketing.

However, it is surprising that now a skill that maintains bleeding even without renewal has appeared.

A thought suddenly occurred to me.

I know it’s like a novel, but it’s an imagination.

In the future, I wondered if the mere presence of Ganghu would cause bleeding and that would happen.

To dismiss it as a wild imagination, Ganghu has already broken common sense several times.

“It’s loud! Let’s catch it quickly! “If we just keep bleeding, it will be easy for us to catch the giant!”

Oh Yu-jin called attention.

Now that the most difficult problem has been solved, all you have to do is just kill the monster.

Isn’t that why he personally ‘brought in’ Kang-hoo, even signing a partnership agreement?

If you want to reap the rewards of an expensive contract, it was better to start having fun now. The table was properly set.

* * *

In that way, we quickly broke through the red giant section.

In the past, even with two to three times the number of people, the area that would have taken an hour was completed in just three minutes.

Just as Kang Hu disposed of all the giant guardians, the red giant also met its end peacefully.

‘The three of us definitely work well together. Although our positions overlap as prosecutors, we work together strangely well.’

While dealing with the Colossus Guardian.

Ganghu looked closely at the three hunters of the Guru Guild. The three seemed similar yet different.

Oh Yu-jin specialized in slowing skills, and Oh Hye-jin was very good at causing freezing.

And Majinho had a variety of provocation-type skills, so he continued to draw monsters towards him.

As a result, it was possible to focus on defeating one guy based on Majinho’s tanking.

If there’s only one downside here, it’s that it keeps bleeding.

With Ganghu filling in this part, the firepower of the three was no joke. Above all, it was stable.

Although the damage of the three was lacking, their ability to tie up monsters was excellent, allowing them to focus their firepower well.

This is usually called a ‘holding’ ability among hunters.

The ability to hold a monster in one place to prevent it from running wild. The three people got perfect scores in that part.

‘If I block only the key variables through bleeding, the attack will be no problem. It’s an unusual but pretty good combination.’

This was Kang Hu’s overall opinion.

Adding just one dealer who can replenish damage from a distance seems like a fantastic combination.

For example, gunners specializing in sniping like Ayane or Ban Se-young. A wizard hunter like Jeong Yuri also looks good.

Afterwards, the plant section came again, but because there was a river, the group didn’t feel tired at all.

Moving forward and moving forward.

The attack speed increased.

* * *

You’re already at level 257.

Earning experience points is definitely good.

If you come as a multiple member, it is not at all easy to raise level 1 in one dungeon.

However, by the time they reached the halfway point, Ganghu’s level had already risen by two compared to before.

Even considering the fact that there was a buff related to experience points, the increase was much larger than expected.

【Shinganghu Lv. 257】

【Class: Assassin】

【Unique Talent: Fairly excellent main power / Very good body vision】

【Strength 1063】【Dexterity 1225】 【

Stamina 965】【Magic power 21】

【Anti-horsepower 560】【Toughness 710】

【* Darkness 455】

It’s been a while In the status window I checked, as always, the unusually low magic stat first stands out.

The next stat that attracted attention was tenacity.

A stat that has been steadily raised over the years. Looking at the numbers now, I feel like I want to aim for 1000.

The reason was simple.

When tenacity reaches 1000.

This is because basic skill attack damage received from hunter monsters below level 100 is reduced by 90%.

Just as if you keep scratching the same area with your fingernail, the flesh will dent and the bone will not be exposed.

When the tenacity was 1000, the damage received from hunters under the corresponding conditions was similar to this.

It gets to an itchy level.

Of course, increasing your tenacity is not an easy task.

The number of items that can be worn is limited, and items specialized for toughness options are rare.

【War God’s Yugi – Ring】

【Grade: Grade 4】

【Dullness +150】

【You can upgrade one grade higher by using the special material, Red Stone.】 You can

immediately upgrade to Grade 3 by using 2 Red Stones. A martial arts ring.

When an item that is upgraded to a red stone reaches level 1, its impact is beyond imagination.

So I upgraded once before, but now it’s caught my eye again.

To get to grade 3, you need 2 stones, 3 for grade 2, 4 for grade 1, and so on.

It was also an investment worth making as the stat increase was beyond imagination with each level increase.

‘Is there a place where a lot of rubble is buried? ‘It would be really nice if I could use it freely.’

A stone whose supply is ridiculously low compared to demand.

It was true that thinking about the red stone, like a rare material in a game, made me gasp.

‘I wonder if it would be a good idea to go to England a little earlier…’

Then, my thoughts naturally expanded.

England with ties to the Spitfire Guild. This place was also slowly coming to Kanghu’s attention.
