The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 280

Episode 280: Battle (1)

* * *

First of all, I skipped the broken lines.

Before learning, there is one opportunity to review preliminary movements or feelings at the final stage.

The dashed angle that was examined in advance had too much motion and did not fit the compactness that Kanghu wanted.

There was no need for a fancy performance. Only efficiency! That was the only concern.

“Hmm…”

My worries became deeper than I thought.

This is because there were many types of skills that could be stolen from Lee.

It took time to look into the use of legs, that is, the angle skills that Ganghu had not seen in battle, as there were many.

After much deliberation, the skill Kanghu finally chose was ‘Rain Strike’.

If used intuitively in a different form, this skill could be called a strong-up kick.

“Rain Strike is a skill that eats up mana like crazy. Taking Mad Solarchium is essential and cannot be used twice in a row.”

It was a general review.

The flying kick was the same purple kick that we saw when Kang Hu struck Lee under the chin earlier.

Because it is a skill kick, not a basic kick.

The moment the skill was used, the leg itself was strengthened and a tremendous amount of propulsion was exerted at once.

There was also a need to be careful of injury as the limit of what one’s human body can produce was instantly exceeded.

“If you get hit properly while defenseless, your jaw will be broken or your neck will be broken.”

I am confident because I have experienced it.

Ganghu immediately learned the flying attack and took a route out of the dungeon.

I no longer had any regrets about this dungeon.

In the case of the main boss here, he is confident that he will not be able to catch it even if there are 10 of them.

There is no guardian option, and there is no need to create additional variables here. First of all, I wanted to go out and get some rest.

* * *

After a while.

After offsetting all the aftereffects of Mad Solarchium with rest, Kanghu breathed in the air outside the dungeon.

I thought the air in the dungeon was fairly clean, but I was mistaken. It was much cooler outside.

“For now, I kept the gift for Lars…”

I checked again the ring item I had kept in my pocket.

Magic ring. Lars will love it.

It was also a perfect item to give as a courtesy, as Kang-hu didn’t need it anyway.

When I met Lars, I planned to give him a ring as a gift and sell him a breastplate as well.

Evening is coming before we know it.

It seemed better to meet Lars tomorrow rather than right away. It just so happened that it was already coordinated.

So I checked Ayane’s message to see the hotel address she said she would reserve in advance.

The Hunter Gram had the address of a hotel written on it so that I could unpack my luggage first as soon as I got to the city.

“You caught it far away.”

I searched the address on the portal and found that it was a hotel in the suburbs, quite far from downtown.

The view was amazing. It had a night view that was perfect for a romantic date.

I thought I should let her know that I was going now, so I called Ayane.

Toowoo-. Toowoo-.

However, there was only a beep sound and no response.

Because he may be washing up right now, or he may be resting. I decided not to break the flow for no reason.

It will not be too late to contact you again once you arrive in front of the hotel.

Kang-hu came out to the side of the road in the city, immediately caught a taxi, and gave the driver the address of the hotel.

Then the driver said, “Honeymoon?” Honeymoon? He said congratulations and gave a long well-wishes in German.

“….”

Kanghu can speak five languages, but has no connection to German.

So I had no choice but to nod with an awkward smile and move to the hotel.

It was a moment when full translation skills became essential.

Why hasn’t there been a chance to steal this skill yet?

I really wish I had the chance to get it at least once.

* * *

After a while.

Kang-hu got off near the hotel and was about to head to the hotel when he heard an unexpected noise.

It was a loud gunshot that came from the side of the mountain near the hotel. It wasn’t an auditory hallucination.

Even the gunshot he heard was a familiar sound to Kang-hu’s ears.

It sounded like a unique clanging sound that could only be heard from Ayane’s rifle.

“….”

People coming and going in the hotel lobby reacted confusedly, but no one came forward in person.

First of all, there are basically a number of guards inside these hotels.

If necessary, a barrier can be activated to block entry from the outside.

At least it was safe from external forces.

As if it wasn’t just Kang-hoo who heard the gunshots, bulletproof barriers were implemented on the entire exterior walls of the hotel.

Although it was a fairly expensive facility, it was a useful facility in many ways once it was built from the design stage.

The reason why Ayane didn’t go into the hotel seemed to be because she didn’t want others to get caught up in an unexpected battle.

As a result, the risk to her life was greatly increased, but I understood her inner thoughts.

Click. Clap. Click.

Soon, several guards who came out to the lobby set up reinforced item shields and entered a prepared stance.

They do not intervene in the conflict situations that take place around them.

They are simply faithful to the job they are paid to do, protecting the hotel. There would be no point in asking for help.

First, Ganghu sent a fallen tree towards the mountain.

Instead, it did not attack any individuals and did not emit its characteristic scream until ordered to do so.

Unlike Corruption Demons, Corruption Beasts can control the reactions of their minions, making them more valuable than Corruption Demons.

In particular, as evening was just coming and dusk was falling, there was little concern about the corruption being discovered.

【Stealth】

He immediately hid himself and began to diligently move towards the mountain.

At the same time.

[Mana tracking ability]

I used the mana tracking ability skill to find traces of the hunters left on the ground.

It would have been nice if the naming had limited to mana tracking, but the name is long, perhaps because it is a skill derived from a constellation.

It’s been a long time since I used this skill. I heard that much.

This is because it is an ability he gained after first ‘murdering’ the hunter who was chasing him when escaping from the Cheongmyeong concentration camp.

It was a useful skill because it showed the traces of mana that the hunter had shed, like footprints.

High-level hunters who are skilled at erasing presence never leave traces of mana.

However, looking at the failure to do so, it appears that the level was low or the situation was urgent and there was no time to do so.

I quickly followed him.

Suddenly, Ganghu’s location naturally changed into the mountains, and the gunfire that had been heard once was not heard again.

Four traces are visible.

Seeing Hana and Three playing separately, it seems that there are probably three hunters chasing Ayane.

Given the circumstances, it was highly likely that he was a troubleshooter sent by the Hayabusa Guild. I guess you’re going to take revenge properly.

‘First of all, you used your brain well.’

Kanghu thought that Ayane’s choice of the mountain as a travel route was a pretty good choice.

This is because it is easy to hide or adjust your position.

Of course, it was a difficult place for Ayane, who specialized in sniping, to target her opponent.

It’s a place where it’s difficult to fight because of one way or another. However, it was the best stage for Kanghu.

Kang-hoo’s joining may not have been in her plans and expectations, but in any case, a new variable has already been added.

‘No matter how much you didn’t want to cause any harm, I think it’s useless pride not to contact me.’

In the process of repeatedly making accelerated leaps in a stealth state, Ganghu held the dagger tightly in both hands.

Since there is not only one opponent, you should be able to end your life in a short period of time if you seize the opportunity.

If you delay even a little bit, there is a high chance that you will be targeted by the enemy.

‘At the beginning, one person wins.’

Although I have not yet seen with my own eyes what the situation is, I have established a top priority.

First of all, in a one-to-three structure, you add one to yourself and subtract one to your enemy.

So, the number of people competing against each other is equal. That was Ganghu’s first plan.

* * *

Taang!

Ayane, who had not aimed at her opponent for a while, suddenly turned her waist sharply and aimed behind her.

But I missed it.

The darkness was getting thicker, and they weren’t fools, so they moved quickly and avoided them.

Because it was in the mountains, the problem was that there were too many trees. There were many obstacles to the attack.

Even though she was having a hard time buying it, Ayane had no regrets.

It was true that in the world of mercenaries, he lived like a chameleon, freely crossing the boundaries between enemies and allies.

However, he absolutely did not want to involve innocent civilians who had nothing to do with him.

Even when I was heading towards this hotel, I saw a child holding his parent’s hand and coming to play happily.

What if such a child gets caught up in his own karma and gets hurt or even dies?

It seemed like I would never be able to escape the feeling of guilt for the rest of my life.

A target who became an enemy would not be emotionally shaken even if a hundred people were killed, but even if one casual victim was injured, the heartache would be severe.

“…?”

But when he looked back, one of the three who had been chasing him just a short while ago had disappeared.

At that moment, with anxiety overtaking my mind, I looked at the upward movement route and realized the situation.

One guy was making a picture of Ayane being surrounded in a detour and a big turn.

“…Tch.”

Ayane stopped.

There are two key travel routes, but both sides are blocked, so it’s like being surrounded.

Ayane, who was being chased, and the three people who were persistently chasing her all stopped as if they had made a promise.

A tacit truce was established because they knew that a fight would break out here in some form anyway.

It was also the last moment we could have a conversation before risking our lives and engaging in a life-or-death battle.

Among the three male hunters.

Their leader, the wizard hunter Hana, spoke to Ayane with an energetic expression.

“Hey. “The loss at the guild level is great because the four years ago disrupted the order in the Fukuoka Liberation Zone.”

“what? If a mercenary gets paid, he should work, then play? “If I take money to kill you and don’t take it, is that a mercenary?”

Ayane fought back without losing.

It wasn’t just bravado; it was also her belief.

If a mercenary receives compensation, he must get his money’s worth. If there is a request that cannot be performed, I refuse it from the beginning.

These two principles have always been basic to her.

The leader answered.

“If you just calculate the value of the items of our guild members you killed, it exceeds tens of billions of yen. You have no morals. “Are you betraying us, who were your allies until yesterday?”

“The reason there is no business ethics is because there are no low-level mercenaries who are not professional when it comes to their requests. “X Shin.”

She cursed mercilessly.

Compared to when she always used cautious words and speaking style towards Kang-hoo, her tone was much more ‘her-like’.

“okay. What would I do talking to a bitch like you? Once they catch you, they take all your items and sell them, as well as those rare glasses. Furthermore, it would be perfect if I sold my body as well.”

“Yes, eat this.”

Ayane excitedly raised her middle finger and taunted the three hunters.

It is true that it was a difficult situation.

The reason these guys have the confidence to do this in Germany, not Japan, is because of Germany’s characteristics.

Germany did not intervene in the fights of foreign hunters as long as it did not harm its citizens or its own hunters.

Conciliation and mediation were not conducted until all requests from both sides were received. It’s up to you to solve it yourself.

For that reason, even if a fight broke out here, the hotel guards would not come to help.

One wizard and two swordsmen.

Ayane, who was completely bad at close range combat, was in a situation where no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t come up with an answer.

“Whoa.”

She lowered the rifle as if she had resigned herself to it.

No matter how hard you calculate it, there is no way to win this.

But right then.

Wow!

Suddenly, a sound similar to a scream was heard in the air, which had been extremely quiet until just now.

“…!”

Soon, a black object familiar to Ayane appeared. It was a corrupted tree.

Since both the corrupted demon and the corrupted tree looked the same, from her perspective, they looked like the old corrupted demons.

That moment.

‘…Ganghu?’

Ayane was thrilled by the fact that reinforcements appeared at a time she never expected.

Kang Hu was by his side.
