The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 287
Episode 287: Apology (1)
* * *
While reading the email, Yoo Do-hoon was so curious about this person’s identity that he couldn’t stand it.
He was reading all of his thoughts as if he had entered and exited his head.
The people currently called One Two Three of the Seoul Hunter Police Agency.
Kang Hyo-tae, Commissioner of the Hunter Public Security Agency. Bong Seong-pil, Commissioner of the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency. and Ahn Gyeok-ho, head of Seoul headquarters.
Yoo Do-hoon clearly despised them. And I thought that in order to restore the Public Security Agency, which had lost its original purpose, to its original state, they had to disappear first.
A public security office that will not be biased toward any one faction but will simply be a reliable companion and guardian of the people.
Yoo Do-hoon was hoping for such a public security office.
Like today, he is also increasing his strength by secretly raiding dungeons that have not been reported to the Public Security Agency.
It was to one day overthrow this rotten public safety office.
To achieve this, it was right not only to reorganize the Public Security Agency, but also to blow up the boat that created it.
These are the executives of the Jeonghwa Guild, including Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong.
In Yoo Do-hoon’s eyes, they were a corrupt force.
They only used the Public Security Agency to suit their tastes, and instead used the Public Security Agency’s network for various crimes.
The story about hunter human trafficking that has been circulating on Huntergram recently was not a story. It was an obvious truth.
However, because the Public Security Agency has created a response team to bury the evil deeds of the Purification Guild… they
are being thoroughly suppressed at the level of stories. The truth should have been revealed long ago.
– Do not think of creating a typhoon in a teacup within the framework of the Public Safety Agency.
Just once, put aside all your prejudices and look outside. Who can deliver the most critical blow to the Public Security Agency right now?
‘abyss? Could it be that we join hands with the abyss, a breeding ground for criminals…?’
The nuance of the email clearly pointed towards the abyss.
The threat from the Public Safety Agency is the threat from the Purification Guild, and what is tormenting the Purification Guild is the abyss.
At first, Yoo Do-hoon unconsciously substituted the word “abyss” for a hotbed of criminals.
This was also close to thoroughly brainwashed information.
Would it be correct if it was a case of someone becoming a villain just because they said he was a villain?
According to Yu Do-hoon’s internal investigation in the past, some of Abyss’s criminal charges were definitely fabricated.
‘It’s an abyss…’
Yoo Do-hoon’s eyes deepened.
A typhoon in a teacup cannot break the teacup.
However, if the wind is generated outside the teacup as well, the typhoon inside and outside can combine and cause it to break.
In order to overthrow the Public Safety Agency, the Public Safety Agency secretly joins hands with a force that is more angry than anyone else…
Is this really the right choice, or will it be the worst choice that will end the legacy of the Public Safety Agency?
Yoo Do-hoon could not give an easy answer. It was never an impulsive decision.
* * *
After unpacking all our belongings at the villa and confirming the accommodation within the villa assigned to each person.
Kang Hu and Cheonsal Nosoo drank a glass of cool water in the living room before coming out to the large training ground.
Since there was no separate tap or place to drink water at the training site, I rehydrated in advance.
When Kang-hu came to the living room, the Cheon-sal old man was popping a few pills from a medicine bag into his mouth.
Since the amount was larger than expected, Kanghu asked cautiously.
“Are you unwell?”
When Ganghu looked at him with a worried expression, the old man snorted and said.
“Why are you looking at me with such a pitiful expression? These are the medicines you take for arthritis, you idiot. You should be my age too. Even though it looks fine on the outside, it’s festering on the inside!”
“Ah…”
“Don’t worry about anything, just worry about your body. After training, you probably won’t have time to worry about others. Hehehe.”
The old man’s laugh at the end of the sentence sounded very sinister.
It felt like the anticipation of a teacher who had finished worrying about tormenting his student was evident.
As I left the living room, I opened the front door and walked to the steel pillar that stood tall in the middle of the training area.
Ganghu and Cheonsalrosu continued to talk.
“Kanghu. How much of your ability can you honestly show? “Tell me exactly what you think.”
“I think it’s 95%.”
The reason for subtracting 5% was the existence of the hidden skills Black Moon Slash/Hundred Days Slash.
There’s already a lot of information about the Infinite Wall, so there’s no point in hiding it.
In the case of Black Moon Slash/Hundred Day Slash, there has never been a precedent for an enemy to survive after seeing this skill.
Of course, there were a few cases where I saw it from the perspective of an ally, but it was a skill I had no intention of revealing intentionally.
“The ratio is higher than you thought?”
“Is it high?”
“In fact, even if you had said 50% instead of 95%, it would have forced you to show more ability.”
“Have you seen it?”
“okay. It was a test of my faith in this teacher. haha.”
It seems to have been a strange trust test of the old man of a thousand years.
In any case, it seemed like he had said something close to the correct answer, and a smile appeared on the mouth of the 100-year-old veteran.
He tapped Kang-hu’s shoulder and then took something out of his pocket.
It was a red apple.
The color was nice.
I don’t know where I got it from, but even Kanghu, who wasn’t particularly greedy for food, had his mouth watering for a moment.
“listen carefully. From now on, I will eat all of these apples. “If I eat it all, you lose.”
“Then what should I do to prevent Master from eating all the apples?”
“yes. For five minutes from now, try by any means possible to prevent me from eating all the apples. “By using the 95% ability you mentioned.”
“What happens if I lose?”
“You can go to Haemi over there and do the rest of your studying for an hour. “I’ll let you know about the next assignment when you go to study.”
“hmm.”
When I heard the word “over there,” I turned my gaze and saw Joo Hae-mi among the trees surrounding the training ground.
It was so quiet and still that you couldn’t even recognize it if you didn’t look closely.
I don’t know if it was intentional, but it was harder to notice because he was wearing sportswear of a similar color to the tree.
“Let’s begin!”
square!
The thousand-year-old veteran announced the start of training by taking a large bite of an apple.
Almost half of the apple disappeared in an instant, making me wonder if it was just a bite.
[Kidnapping]
Ganghu’s first choice was kidnapping.
They had no intention of kidnapping the 100-year old beast, but rather just snatched the apple he was holding.
However, the 100-year-old slave recognized the ‘invisible grip’ that had to reach the target to activate the kidnapping.
Taang!
He used his own ‘spirit’ that he could control and violently snatched away its grip.
“…?”
Kanghu’s pupils dilated.
So far, I have seen cases where the activation of the kidnapping skill was recognized and avoided, or it was completely resisted and neutralized.
It was my first time seeing the kidnapping skill itself knocked out.
The invisible grip was literally like a transparent long hand that grabbed the target.
Even the caster Ganghu immediately recognized the grip that was difficult to chase away unless he looked closely.
“That skill is so obvious, you bastard! “As soon as I feel my magical power being abnormally drained, I can see right through it. How long are you planning on eating it raw?”
square!
Ganghu, who had spent one turn, had no choice but to watch as the celestial old man took another bite of the apple.
Since there was a time limit, I felt anxious from the start.
There is too much apple pulp to stuff into one’s mouth at once for one to maintain one’s composure.
At this rate, training will be over with just two or three bites.
【Summon the Corrupted Beast】
So, I sent the Corrupted Beast with the thought of somehow interfering with the free movement of the celestial beast.
It also has the ability to attack, so it’s enough to interrupt the meal of a thousand-year old beast.
Kieeeeek!
When Tae-chul-soo suddenly appeared behind Kang-hu, full of darkness, the old man grinned.
“Oh, do you have any talents like this?”
Ganghu, with Taraksu leading the way, followed closely behind him and began to approach the Cheonsalnosu.
But right then.
【Dark Nanbi】
The celestial warrior made an attack by simply slashing the dagger he was holding in one hand in the air three times.
Skill name: Dark Rain.
It is a skill that connects sword strikes from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock, 5 o’clock to 11 o’clock, and 1 o’clock to 7 o’clock.
At first glance, it looked ordinary, with no special effects or any wind blowing.
Pssssssut…!
The corrupted beast that had rushed forward with great momentum was completely destroyed in a single stroke of darkness.
In order to destroy the corrupted tree, Ganghu also had to beheaded it twice. That too properly.
However, the Thousand-Salted Beast easily overpowered the Fallen Beast without making any major moves.
【Wall of Flawlessness】
As a result, Ganghu, who was approaching from behind the fallen tree, had to build a wall of Flawlessness.
If the fallen tree was torn like pieces of paper like that, there was a high possibility that it would be dangerous if he got caught in it.
Kakang! Kang! Kakakakakang!
“Ugh damn it.”
Even after annihilating the Corrupted Tree, the Dark Nanbi continued to fly forward and hit the Wall of Flawlessness.
I thought that once I blocked it, the projectile would scatter or lose its power, but instead it felt like it was pressing down.
Does it feel like blocking a huge wall pushing heavily in front of you? Kang-hu’s body was pushed all the way back.
“Do you think you are the only one who knows how to deal with dark times? It fell apart. “It’s completely gone!”
square!
The sound of apples being eaten was heard again. Now the crunching sound has reached a level where it is annoying.
‘Did I try to keep it in check too easily? Even though he is an assassin in name, it is absurd to keep him in check from a distance.’
Kanghu commented on himself.
I felt like I thought it was too easy, so I tweaked the repertoire slightly this time.
【Shadow Walk】
It was Ganghu’s specialty and the most excellent skill for creating variables, Shadow Walk.
It can scatter five shadows at the same time, causing a headache for the opponent.
however.
Psssssut…!
Before the shadows could even disperse, the dark rain unleashed by the Cheonsalrosu destroyed them again.
Shadows are quite vulnerable to external forces, but the dark rain was affecting a much wider area than what was visible.
“Are you going to keep disappointing me?”
square!
There were less than 20% of apples left now.
However, I thought that the old man of a thousand years was intentionally eating less apples.
If so… it’s even more humiliating.
It was the first time I felt this kind of feeling, perhaps it would be appropriate to describe the relationship between teacher and student as humiliation.
Feeling helpless.
I am trying my best to overcome the opponent, but the opponent stands tall like a mountain and does not fall.
A good analogy would be to feel like hitting a rock with an egg. I feel like an egg that breaks without any solution.
Right then.
It was only now, too late, that Ganghu remembered the words of the 100-year-old veteran.
That was the first thing he said when he said he would accept me as his disciple.
