The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 260

Episode 260: Chase (2)

* * *

Quagga Gaga!

As the speed increased, the stronger wind struck Ganghu’s ears. The flowing hair was a bonus.

I tried to compete with speed on my modified bike, but the deer deer’s pursuit speed was crazy fast.

Even though the distance started to widen as they struck for a moment, the gap seemed to be narrowing quickly.

Wow.

Ganghu drove with one hand and turned his other hand and body backwards.

This is because it is possible to respond by looking at the current situation accurately rather than running blindly.

First, you can see a few roe deer in close proximity.

【Illusion Art】

Ganghu deployed illusion art.

The illusion of Ganghu scattered from the bike passed by Noru.

Guruk! Guruk!

Some of the roe deer left after seeing the welcome, perhaps because their brains were not as good as their physical abilities.

I thought that in their eyes, it might look like I abandoned my bike.

‘You didn’t miss the point.’

Ganghu’s gaze was still fixed on the group of roe deer.

There were still many in number, and among them there were three males who appeared to be captains.

Unlike the other guys, its fur was shiny and, above all, its eyes glowed red.

Right then.

Weeing! Weeing! Weeing!

The three male captains, who were staring at Ganghu, shot something with their eyes at the same time. It was a laser.

‘Does the roe deer shoot lasers?’

Anything and more than you can imagine.

Since this is a monsterized roe deer, I thought it would be different from a regular roe deer, but this is at the level of recreation.

Teuong!

Kanghu changed his driving hand and spread a flawless wall with his left arm to block the laser.

Fortunately, it did not have strong firepower, so it seemed like it would be countered with a protective barrier next time.

Woohoo!

As one of the male leaders roared, the bodies of the other roe deers were also enveloped in red light.

Then the speed got faster.

It feels like the male leader not only leads the group, but also boosts his physical abilities in the form of a wide-area buff.

If this is the case, the longer the chase goes on, the more disadvantaged Ganghu becomes.

This is because there are limits to driving with one hand while looking back.

The road conditions were different, and I noticed that large and small stones were scattered on the road.

If you accidentally get caught on a rock, you could easily fall off your bike.

You’ll be lucky if you just fall, but there’s a very high chance that you’ll get seriously injured in the process.

If that happens, you will inevitably become prey for the roe deer. It will be a victim to chew, tear, taste, and enjoy.

It seemed like a trick was needed.

【Shadow Walk】

Pow!

Ganghu scattered his shadow.

One of them was left sitting on the bike and instantly switched positions with the shadow sent towards Roe Deer.

Kuhiing?

The male captain looked surprised when he saw Ganghu suddenly appear next to him.

But even for a moment.

Puff puff!

Ganghu mechanically stabbed the head of the male roe deer in the neck and then exploded it with blood.

There was no time to check.

If the shadow went out 100m, it was impossible to change position, so it immediately returned to the bike.

If my reaction had been a little late, I would have been left in the middle of the road without being able to return to my bike.

Hehe!

When I looked back again, I saw the body of a male captain leaning to the side with blood pouring from his neck.

It is certain that he will die or at least break away from the group. In that case, there are two remaining male captains.

【Illusion】

【Shallow Confusion】

Ganghu divided his skills evenly among the two guys.

For one guy, I used hallucinations that made him see nothing, and for the other guy, I used shallow confusion that disrupted his sense of direction.

OK.

Kueeeeek! Easy profit!

Coo! Bye!

The two male leaders, who had gone in the wrong direction, each collided with a lamppost and telephone pole and fell down.

The other roe deer that followed also stopped chasing Ganghu when the leader male stopped moving.

“Whew. Phew.”

It was a dangerous scene.

Driving while looking back was not only difficult, but it was even more so because I had to fight. It was difficult to use the installed third eye because the location changed all the time.

Until now, I had never fought a battle while riding a bike or a car… but

in my experience, I didn’t often find myself in a situation where I could fight properly.

It might have been worth a try if you were someone who used a bow or gun.

However, since he was an assassin who ultimately had to kill people with a dagger, his movements were bound to be limited.

In fact, I feel proud of the fact that he used shadow walking to hit and run during this time.

The sound of hooves can no longer be heard.

Kanghu slowed down his bike.

“Is this the end now?”

At that time, I was about to breathe a sigh of relief because the chase that started so suddenly seemed to have ended well.

Phew. Huh. Phew!

“Damn it.”

Another monster appeared in a blind spot hidden by a building. It was a ‘horse’ that had become a monster.

It looks like the termination flag was set too early. A group of horses appeared like ghosts and began chasing Ganghu.

Dagdaukdaukdauk!

The unique, pure sound of horses’ hooves sounded eerie.

Why!

The bike, which reached maximum speed, made a groaning noise. This is because it produces excessive output beyond the rating.

The good news is that while Noru had three captains, this one had only one.

A male horse, clearly identifiable as the leader, was galloping at the forefront.

I was curious what kind of attack repertoire this guy had, but my curiosity was immediately satisfied.

That’s right.

Coo! Tooung! Coo!

It was an air gun that was released forward every time the captain’s horse struck the ground with its hoof.

The Qigong gun that the Qigong master uses! Immediately, the exact same air gun began to be emitted in front.

“So damn…”

Cursing comes out of my mouth.

Does that horse really know that he is creating the skills of a qigong master with a horse’s hoof?

Judging by the fact that he was just running without thinking, it didn’t seem like he had any particular intention.

It is an undeserved ability given to him in the process of becoming a monster. So it was more threatening.

【Flawless Wall】

Ugh!

“Ugh!”

A shock on a completely different level from the lasers fired by the leader deers was felt along the Flawless Wall.

It was a shame because I was maintaining my balance well, otherwise I would have fallen off the bike.

Wow why!

“Ugh!”

As a result, the hand holding the steering wheel also shook and I almost took a wrong turn.

There are well over twenty horses chasing them.

If you lose power or change direction even a little here, you will be quickly attacked and killed.

【Shadow Walk】

Without hesitation, Ganghu took out the strategy he had chosen earlier.

The good news is that these guys don’t chase after their leader is dead.

Since they strictly followed the commander’s orders and movements, all they had to do was eliminate the leader.

Faaah!

Soon, Ganghu changed positions with the shadow and stabbed the side of the captain’s horse’s neck.

This time, I stabbed him with a decapitation rather than a regular attack with the intention of completely killing him.

Puff poop!

Linked blood painting is a bonus.

Although it had a fast pursuit speed and the ability to implement a powerful air gun, its tenacity was weaker than expected.

Papat.

Kanghu got back on the bike and looked back.

It was clear that the captain’s horse was dead, and I was trying to see if there were any possible variables.

“hmm…?”

Something was seen dropping from the dead captain’s horse.

It was clearly a red glowing stone. A stone whose characteristics are bound to be revealed no matter how far you look at it.

It was the red stone.

‘Is this how it’s going to work out?’

【Grave – You can upgrade this dagger to level 1 using 3 redstones.】 The

recently added Crave option for the Corrupted Faith Dagger.

According to this option, if you have 3 red stones, you can upgrade the dagger to level 1.

Currently, Ganghu has a total of two red stones. If you combine the stones that just came out here, you get 3.

At first I thought it was unexpected luck, but when I thought about it again, it wasn’t.

In the meantime, the monsters here would have rarely escaped the hands of hunters.

So, he must have increased his strength by absorbing the dungeon-level energy that filled the entire Pyongyang with his whole body.

In the process, a naturally rare reward would have been created, and it would have been this one.

However, there was a problem.

Even though I lost my captain, I didn’t become a fool.

The herds of horses and roe deer chasing Ganghu were still nearby.

Not only did he not want to attack Kang Hu openly, but he was still showing his hostility.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

Ganghu turned around and circled around the group of horses and roe deer that had suddenly merged into one group.

Unfortunately, there was a stone in the middle of the group, so it wasn’t easy to just bring it back.

But right then.

Kurukkuruk?

A roe deer stuck out its tongue toward a stone that had fallen on the ground.

If you leave it like this, it will be eaten by the roe deer and sucked right into its stomach.

Sigh!

Kanghu stopped the bike.

【Shadow Walk】

And then he sent the shadow through the crowd again.

Now I can’t drive the bike like before.

Earlier, I could have just left it running forward and walked away for a while and then come back.

Since I was currently circling around the monster, I couldn’t maintain momentum.

I knew it was a dangerous situation, but I didn’t want to give up because the stone was so precious.

Faaah!

‘Gotcha!’

Still, fortunately, it succeeded in changing its shadow and position before entering the roe deer’s mouth.

I immediately held the red stone in my hand.

Soon, I used Shadow Walk once more and switched positions with the shadow that was sitting on the bike.

But this time there were variables.

Heeeeeee!

A horse, recognizing the location of the bike, jumped with all its might and flew in a parabolic curve.

If things continued like this, not only the bike but even Kang-hoo, who had returned, was going to be stamped on his leg and see the afterlife.

Why?!

Full throttle!

Even though the bike made a dying sound, it achieved destructive speed thanks to the power of illegal modifications.

Everything was covered in smoke, but now was not the time to think about protecting the environment.

Quang!

“Ugh!”

Thanks to the power provided by the bike, I was able to avoid being hit by the horse’s front leg and losing my job.

If there had been even a moment of hesitation at any moment, the chase would have ended with a bad ending.

But in the end, it was a happy ending.

Ganghu, who reached maximum speed, blocked the monsters’ pursuit by laying down a lightning strike.

Not only did they lose their leader, but when an electric storm broke out in front of them, they got so scared that they couldn’t pursue them any further.

“Damn exit flag. “I almost ended my life because I parked it wrong.”

Even though it was confirmed that there was no further pursuit, Kang Hu maintained his speed and escaped downtown Pyongyang as much as possible.

I desperately wanted to upgrade my Corrupted Beliefs to level 1 based on the gemstones I had acquired.

Now I wanted to go to a place where there was open flat ground where I could get off my bike with peace of mind.

This place, where the houses and apartments where Pyongyang residents used to live, were crowded together, was not a suitable place to get off.

Still, thanks to obtaining the Red Stone, I was able to upgrade Corrupted Faith at an unexpected time. A much more anticipated task than upgrading War God’s Yugi!

The first-class weapon that I had longed for and dreamed of was on the verge of becoming a reality.
