The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 276

Episode 276 Type-V (1)

The discussion did not take long.

Emilia and Yu Cheong-hwa agreed to Kang-hoo joining because they thought it would be a good thing since they were bored at the time.

Takashiya was very welcome.

In a situation where it seemed like it would be fun to just move with Kang-hoo, two close friends also joined in.

I felt so good that I even started cleaning my room, something I hadn’t done even once in the past few weeks.

Before taking on an exciting challenge, I want to clean up the space where I can control my alter ego! It was an expression of happiness.

* * *

Meanwhile, Ganghu, who entered the dungeon, fought a regular monster in an exploration battle as a taste.

After the battle.

The final conclusion I reached after subduing the guy was simple. It is a backward compatible version of Brood Queen.

In other words, no matter how one fights, it would be very difficult for two or three to unite.

Anyway, thanks to the last experience hit from the monster I fought in the exploration battle, my level became 271.

Kanghu opened the status window for the first time in a long time for inspection. It was for checking stats.

【Shinganghu Lv. 271】

【Class: Assassin】

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

【Strength 1263】【Dexterity 1439】

【Stamina 965】【Magic power 31】

【Anti-horsepower 660】【Toughness 834】

【 * Dark Ages 455 】【* Divine power 100】

“Persistence… 166 left.”

Only 1,000 mill workers left.

Once you reach 1,000.

According to system correction, basic skill attack damage received from hunter monsters below level 100 is reduced by 90%.

The so-called ‘miscellaneous mobs’ in the dungeon are of very low level.

So, usually, miscellaneous mobs would offset their disadvantage by appearing in large groups.

However, when your tenacity exceeds 1,000, their attacks become almost impervious.

There is no need to worry at all whether they appear in groups or as a single army.

This is because the damage is reduced by 90%, and if you add up all the additional defense abilities you have through active or passive skills, it’s at a level where you barely even get scratched.

Then, as long as it is not a large monster, there will be no need to invest skills for most minor mobs.

All you have to do is approach and get hit in moderation while cutting off the head. Or pierce the chest.

Because the combat method became very simple, achieving 1,000 tenacity was one of the important goals for Ganghu.

In fact, it was a really absurd goal to call an assassin’s goal setting.

This is because there is an imbalance, such as a wizard increasing strength over magic or a swordsman increasing agility over strength.

However, tanking against random mobs in one-on-many battles was an essential value for a strong player who was greedy.

“First, get the breastplate. Next, I’ll try to reach the middle boss by using the protection option of the breastplate I was originally wearing.”

After confirming the plan, Ganghu began to search for the location of the chest armor from the Corruption Set series.

With the GPS-like guidance structure activated, it was easy to find hidden places.

However, the location was unique.

Certainly, the route to get there was complicated and had no relation to the main route of the dungeon.

It was a place where the hunter who came to this dungeon had absolutely no reason to go.

However, it was not a place where there were many monsters, for example, where there was a possibility of obtaining other rewards.

In short, it was a garbage area within the dungeon, so there was no reason to visit.

On the contrary, there were slopes and cliffs along the way, so there was a possibility of losing one’s life out of curiosity.

Kieeeeek-.

Meanwhile, the Corruption Demon that had been sent away was diligently doing his duty.

He had given an order to return to himself when a monster was detected ahead, but there was no response yet.

In other words, it meant that there were no monsters around to be wary of, so it was moving at increased speed.

‘It’s a huge advantage to be able to get set items exactly where you want them without any problems.’

The structure of creating monsters with set items is as follows.

Usually, monsters in a dungeon continue to die from hunters, and then the dungeon is reset and stabilization is achieved.

For monsters, ‘stabilization’ means simply becoming an entity that repeats birth and death without any variables.

However, for monsters that have not been caught for some reason, ‘variable values’ accumulate during the initialization process.

When this variable value exceeds a certain threshold, it becomes an entity with a unique reward.

Of course, this is not the case in all cases, and only 0.01% of the monsters with the maximum variable value would drop a unique item.

The monster that will receive the Corruption Series Breastplate today is the product of that probability.

It is very difficult to accumulate the variable values to the maximum, but you also have to overcome the probability of 1 in 10,000.

Therefore, there was no one like Ganghu who could recognize the existence of set items in advance and follow the flow of finding them.

‘okay. Even when I wrote a novel with the concept of regression, I always emphasized the importance of future knowledge.’

Even the memories are fading now, but I remember the time in my past life when I was typing hard on the keyboard.

Even back then, I thought about it while writing it diligently or reading it with enjoyment as a single reader.

What a great advantage it is to have knowledge that others do not have and to be able to take advantage of it.

That’s exactly what he looks like right now.

Has it been about an hour since we entered the dungeon?

Although we had to pass through some steep slopes and cliffs, we completed the journey without any trouble.

We finally got closer to the location indicated by the GPS. Even if it was far away, there was a target within 500m.

“Hmm…”

As I came out of the place where rocks and rotten trees were a mess, I immediately saw the enemy.

It was a monster wandering around the space so suddenly that I wondered how it got here.

[Type-V: Master of dual pistols]

The name is long.

If we were to abbreviate it, it would be V.

V was a humanoid gunner-type monster that used magic bullets from dual pistols.

This guy uses a magic bullet-type pistol that condenses magical power and fires it, so there is no need to change magazines.

In other words, it was possible to fire almost infinitely, so it was difficult to deal with.

This is because there is no time to replace the magazine. At best, the only gap is the time to gather magical power.

Considering the regular monsters I’ve faced so far, V is definitely a unique monster.

It wouldn’t be surprising if he were given the title of middle boss or main boss.

This is because V is classified as a normal monster. Nevertheless, it had a composition that was difficult to deal with.

‘In fact, it is also the default in the high-level hunter world. ‘It’s also a concept with nothing to worry about.’

Ttuduk. Ttuduk.

Ganghu released both wrists.

Now, there will be more encounters with these guys as regular monsters.

If you just think about the dungeon you will be going to with Takashi right now, it will be a completely different picture from the lower-level dungeons filled with low-level monsters.

“If I were to convert it to a simple level, I think it would be around 550. “There is a dual-pistol gunner monster in that section.”

Judging from the settings of the original work, the level is estimated to be close to twice that of Ganghu.

It doesn’t look like it will be an easy battle.

Kaduk.

Kanghu immediately chewed Mad Solarium. Now the number of spares remaining is 9, which is in single digits.

【Stealth】

【Wall of Flawlessness】

He moved in stealth mode while spreading the Wall of Flawlessness.

From here, it was an open field with wide open spaces, so it was a burdensome space.

So, I didn’t make the risky decision to blindly trust in hiding. You must anticipate that the enemy will detect your location.

just as expected.

Tatang!

V’s dual pistols spewed fire on both sides and struck exactly where Ganghu was.

Boom! Boom!

“also.”

The location of Kang Hoo, who blocked V’s magic bullet, was exposed.

Just in case, I couldn’t fool the guy’s eyes by hiding alone.

There is probably a way to detect the location using infrared detection or a monster’s special method.

Kanghu retreated all the way to the rear where there were trees and deployed a skill first from behind.

【Curtain of Technique】

Here again, I mixed the Stealth and the Insulant Wall and came out to a place where the view was open.

“….”

Then this time there was no response from V. In this state, it seems that Kang-hu’s location cannot be determined.

Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, he diligently applied blood to the dagger in order to utilize the poisonous blood skill.

Although it was hard work having to cut my fingers every time, it wasn’t a particularly bothersome task.

at that time.

Tatang! Tatang! Tatang! Tatang!

V repeatedly rotated 360 degrees and began firing magic bullets in all directions.

Tooung! Tooung!

As a result, the magic bullet hit the Infinite Wall, revealing Ganghu’s location again.

“If this is the case, it is a proper method.”

Ganghu nodded.

Magic bullet shooting. It is also one of the core repertoires of all gunners who use magic bullets.

Assuming it is backed by magical power, it is also the most reliable method of keeping it in check.

This is because it becomes very difficult to approach the Gunner without hiding or moving through space.

Unless you are confident that you can completely defend against magic bullets, you have no choice but to be passive in your approach.

If you react incorrectly, you will inevitably end up with a hole in your forehead, not the other person.

Moreover, no matter how high the level of stealth you use, you cannot ‘evade’ magic bullets.

In some ways, it could be seen as the easiest way to deal with assassins due to the Gunner’s characteristics.

Up! Up!

Ganghu moved forward with long strides. Of course, the front was perfectly defended by an impeccable wall.

Taang! Taang!

V continued to pull the trigger while extending both arms forward in an exploratory manner.

Every time the gun spewed fire, two magic bullets accurately hit the wall of the river.

‘This is enough.’

It’s worth it.

As you move, you infuse magical energy into the wall to recover some of its durability.

In addition, the level of durability loss was less than expected, so it seemed like I could buy enough time.

However, since he couldn’t just use basic attacks, it seemed like he would use a skill with high firepower sooner or later.

“….”

Ganghu looked at the ground.

It is a soft soil surface. The soil quality is useful in many ways in the current situation.

so that.

【Acceleration】

【Leap】

I instantly linked up with V to shorten the straight line distance.

Judging by V’s response of not immediately adjusting his position even though the distance has become somewhat closer.

Kanghu judged that V would have a skill that could extend the distance like Kanghu’s leap.

and.

“joy.”

V snorted.

At the same time, Kanghu developed a skill that could be the biggest variable for V today.

【Collapse】

The ground on which he has his feet firmly planted. From there, I planned to make an unexpected change.

If you see the ground suddenly sinking and jump as high as you can to avoid it, you’re in trouble.

If you avoid it in the same way and even keep yourself in check, it’s a heavy move.

Rather, if you simply roll sideways or forwards and backwards to escape the danger area, you will become an expert.

In that situation.

“okay. “I can’t stand grasshopper jumping.”

V chose the worst dodge within Kanghu’s expectations.

An irresistible instinct for hunters or monsters with skills related to jumping or leaping!

It was according to the pattern of the so-called ‘jumping bug’, which never does so even though it can be easily avoided.
