The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 271

Episode 271: Sharp Heater (1)

* * *

It’s already Clown No. 1 section.

This is the last section.

After passing this section, you will enter the stage of collecting sharp heaters.

Of course, collecting sharp heaters was the beginning of the main stage, so it was impossible to let down your guard.

The concept of issue 1 is a sniper.

At first glance, if you just listen to the concept, it seems that Ayane will have a much easier time getting number 1 than Kanghu.

But there was a problem.

The full-body shield surrounding No. 1’s body nullified ‘all’ long-distance attacks.

In other words, it is a picture of a gunman being unable to catch a gunman. Ayane’s firepower didn’t work.

“Let’s go like we talked about on the charter plane.”

“That’s right. “Even if I shoot with a hundred blades, it won’t work anyway, so I don’t plan on making a fuss.”

“How are you feeling?”

“are you okay. “What about Ganghu?”

“very good. “If my partner’s skills are good, I get excited too.”

“Oh, was it someone you knew who had exciting feelings for you?”

“Let’s just say it makes you crave more blood. how is it?”

“It’s absolutely charming.”

“…?”

Kanghu burst into laughter at Ayane’s reaction, which seemed to have been covered in several layers of bean pods.

These were not empty words.

Thanks to Ayane, I never had to worry about long-distance dealing in the section leading up to Clown No. 1.

You just had to deal with them in order, starting with the closest monster. There was no need to worry about distant enemies.

This was partly because he had trust in Ayane, and partly because he recognized her skills.

Slam!

Ayane, hiding behind suitable cover, took an aiming stance.

Ayane’s gaze was not on Number 1, who was glaring at her.

They were looking at a cover structure that they might use for sniping.

Although we had discussed it in advance, the internal structure was not clearly understood.

So I had to check it with my own eyes, and when I looked, I saw a few important points.

“I’ll follow the route.”

“good. “Then let’s go.”

Ganghu moved right away.

This time, we set up an impeccable wall from the beginning and moved on. This is because the opponents are all snipers.

The total number of number 1 is five.

Because they were scattered in a fan shape, there was an angle where the flawless wall could block the magic bullets.

It would be a different story if they were caught from behind or targeted from the side… but

they showed more cautious movements than expected. Thanks to this, the possibility of variables from Ganghu’s perspective was reduced.

Tooung! Tooung! Tooung!

Soon, the magic bullets fired by Unit 1 hit the Infinite Wall, but it was more bearable than expected.

I don’t know if it was because of the liver or the distance, but I didn’t feel moved.

This may be because it has doubled the existing defense ability thanks to the strong stacking effect.

Meanwhile, Ayane was impressed by the sight of Ganghu moving forward while silently holding on with his flawless wall.

‘It’s no different from a tank moving with its shield up, right? It’s a natural picture, except for the fact that Ganghu’s class is an assassin.’

A sniper who is good at close range combat. A priest who is good at utilizing darkness. A warlock who uses divine power.

If you hear this phrase, you will feel a strong sense of difference according to the common belief.

If you wonder if such a thing exists, you will naturally wonder if it is a scam.

Kang-hu was exactly like that.

An assassin who specializes in tanking. An assassin who can advance while receiving concentrated attacks from snipers.

Kanghu is now making those modifiers a reality.

‘I need to control myself.’

Ayane realized that the Flawless Wall used by Ganghu was no ordinary skill.

It is not simply a level of skill obtained by luck. It’s safe to think of it as a hidden skill.

It’s a hidden skill that will likely become known someday, but I didn’t want the reason to be revealed to me.

What can I say…

I wanted to know Kanghu’s characteristics and strengths for myself. Is this some kind of possessiveness? I didn’t want the rest to know.

In fact, it seemed like Ganghu had no thoughts, but Ayane was urging herself to be more cautious.

Taang!

Ayane immediately pulled the trigger to relieve the instability of the gun, which had entered an overcharged state.

It was an intentional overcharge.

This is so that the structures where No. 1 can settle down can be destroyed or at least made unusable.

Quad deuk!

Sure enough, Ayane’s attack opened a hole in the structure, leaving no place to hide.

“…!”

Unit 1s started to panic.

We were aware from the beginning that the enemy had snipers.

However, they did not expect that the attack would target a structure other than themselves.

They were so focused on their own position that they overlooked the fact that the opponent could use their brains.

The air between No. 1, whose momentum had soared, began to cool down quickly. Something is about to go wrong.

in between.

Ganghu narrowed the distance.

I could have approached it quickly, but I deliberately didn’t do that.

The flawless wall creates a blind spot where effective strikes are impossible.

I took advantage of the ample time I had and infused mana into the wall. For that reason, the wall was recovering some of its durability.

Taang!

Gunshots are heard once again.

Then, the rotten tree that No. 1 was trying to settle down on broke into pieces and disappeared.

“wow.”

An exclamation comes out naturally.

As I was looking at the shape of the tree that had disappeared without a trace, my heart grew cold as I wondered what would happen if Ayane’s sniper was aimed at me.

You might be able to withstand it once… with the Flawless Wall, but what about after that?

You’ll know when you get hit, but for some reason, I want to avoid blocking magic bullets even as a test.

Right then.

Hey…!

Did No. 1 Hana decide that it would be wise to position herself to attack Kang-hu directly?

The location has been readjusted. This is because, with their current position, they can only target the front lines of Ganghu.

They also realized that Ganghu was building a wall and that the wall only protected the front part.

‘He’s the smartest one.’

Kanghu thought so.

If things continue like this, Ayane’s sniping will only narrow the scope of activity.

It was right to actively target oneself. This is because Ayane cannot hit No. 1 directly anyway.

But there is one problem: Kang-hoo was waiting for such a smart guy from the beginning.

【Shadow Walk】

I used the shadow walk right away.

Number 1 has no choice but to get closer to Kang-hoo in order to change locations.

I threw all five shadows in the direction of getting as close to that guy as possible.

Taang! Taang! Taang!

No. 1 scattered three of them with regular fire, but two were still alive.

It’s a disaster.

Switch the linked location within a moment.

In an instant, the positions of No. 1 and Ganghu became closer.

It got so close that the other No. 1 couldn’t provide cover to protect his colleague.

[Leap]

It clung to No. 1.

Was there any calculation in his head that Kang-hoo would have the skill to switch positions?

Without even thinking about how to shoot Kang-hu, who appeared in front of him, he panicked and was stabbed in the chest by a massive beheading.

Phew!

Ugh!

There was no time to make a proper defensive move, so the dagger sank deep into my chest.

Ganghu twisted the dagger diagonally in that state.

The purpose was to inflict pain on him so that he wouldn’t even think about fighting back.

Ouch!

Wow!

The dagger that was twisted to the point of tearing the pectoral muscle and breaking some of the ribs presented hell to No. 1.

‘Claws of Hatred… As expected, the performance is solid.’

It seemed like a godsend to have previously asked Kim Shin-ryeong to do the work.

The blade holds up much better than expected, not only when cutting down targets, but also when tearing and breaking them.

With the dagger stuck in No. 1’s chest, he moved the dagger he was holding in his left hand back to his right hand.

And once again.

[Great beheading]

A dagger was inserted.

No. 1 didn’t have the courage to hold out any longer in front of the dagger that tore through his tough pecs twice in a row.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm….

rolled-back eyes.

We can see No. 1 losing his mind, but it’s not over yet.

【Blood Flower】

Puff pop!

The blood flower was in full bloom.

Since all the wounds were concentrated in the chest, the explosion of blood immediately stimulated No. 1’s heart.

A condemnation was soon issued, but it was not used.

It’s an excessive investment. Since it is a skill that can be used once a day, I planned to use it later on the boss monster.

Wow…

there was nothing more to see.

Number 1 eventually collapsed, painfully clutching somewhere in his chest where his stopped heart was.

One-sided murder!

The other No. 1s who saw the scene were all astonished.

Their faces, which were already white because they were wearing clown makeup, became completely pure white.

There was nothing more to see about the battle that followed.

Due to Ayane’s distraction, Unit 1 lost a place to hide.

Ganghu used the Flawless Wall to approach as safely as possible, and when he saw an opportunity, he deployed a shadow walk.

It was a very obvious repertoire, but unfortunately, the first players lacked strategies and tactics to respond.

If your intelligence declines, you will eventually have to make up for it with your body. Number 1 was completely annihilated like that.

The level has reached 270.

The clown section, which was designed from beginning to end with humanoid monsters, was really good at earning experience points.

There were so many experience points that even two people could share it, so I felt like I wanted to keep going here whenever I had the chance.

According to the information I received in advance, it was said to be a dungeon intensively targeted by the Stark Guild.

Of course, it is said that they cannot even dream of collecting sharp heaters with normal power, so they do not even go this way.

After confirming that there were no enemies around, Ganghu took out an energy bar from his pocket.

At that moment, Ayane came to Ganghu’s side, cooling off the heat of her rifle.

Perhaps because of the unavoidable positional issue, the distance between Ganghu and Ayane was always long after the battle was over.

I handed her an energy bar.

“eat.”

“Oh, are you taking care of it?”

“I put a lot in my pocket and it got in the way.”

“Is it a tsundere concept?”

“huh?”

“no! That’s how he becomes a strong man. I’ll eat well! I also have some new ionic drinks. Shall I give it to you?”

“are you okay. “I’m the type of person who doesn’t drink water unless I’m really thirsty.”

Kanghu refused the ionic drink that Ayane gave him.

It’s not because I don’t like her consideration, but because that’s actually my personality.

It wasn’t like that from the beginning.

It was a habit I had naturally acquired as I always lived in the Cheongmyeong camp with a lack of water.

In the Cheongmyeong camp, you had to get permission to go to the bathroom, and every time you went, you were watched and you always felt pressured by time. It

became a habit to reduce the number of times you go to the bathroom as much as possible. So, I have no choice but to stay away from water.

It had been a while since I escaped from the Cheongmyeong concentration camp, but my body still instinctively recognized memories of the past.

Ayane took the entire energy bar that Kang-hoo gave her in one mouthful and looked at Kang-hoo while munching on it.

The moment his cheeks became puffy, it was like seeing a squirrel, which was cute. I think a pretty squirrel would look like that.

at that time.

“….”

Kang-hu unexpectedly felt that memories from the Cheongmyeong concentration camp overlapped with Ayane’s appearance.

Memories of a campmate who lost his life due to a guard’s prank came to mind.

At that time, my colleague also enjoyed the energy bar like that.

The guards ate it deliciously without knowing that it was an energy bar laced with toxic chemicals as a joke!

After a while.

The poison spread through his body, and he vomited blood and died right in front of his nose.

I remember the image of him dying with a sad expression and tears streaming down his face. Even after death, I couldn’t close my eyes.

‘Fuck you Eclipse bastards.’

Memories of the damn Cheongmyeong concentration camp that bring up trauma even in everyday life.

Nod.

“Ganghu is bleeding! I’m bleeding!”

Ayane looked embarrassed because her lip, which she had bitten unconsciously, was bleeding.
