The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 293

Episode 293: Infernus (3)

From the moment I first heard that there was an attribution process, I expected to encounter such a being.

So I wasn’t embarrassed or surprised by the unexpected appearance. Because I was thinking of something like this.

‘Snow’ said.

– Prove why I should be with you. What meaning do you have to me?

Instead of answering, Kanghu recalled his past life as if recalling it. Because that level of mental sharing will be possible.

There was no pretense or staging whatsoever.

I thought back to the beginning of my life as Shin Kang-hu until now.

The fact that he was a possessed person was not hidden in the flashbacks.

Anyway, even if that eye knew that he was a possessor, there was no way to tell the world.

Even if it is known, I don’t think it will matter. First of all, it is true that I was possessed.

It was very convenient to show it as it is.

To the point where I think the most honest thing in the world is the eyes. So I laughed out loud.

There was quite a bit of silence.

His eyes continued to be fixed on Kang-hu, burning as if he was staring at something inside him.

How much time has passed? The silence was starting to feel a bit boring.

– You have a really interesting life. Is this really your life?

The eyes responded with curiosity.

The voice I heard was fixed on the tone and manner of speaking of a young man who was neither young nor old.

‘that’s right. ‘It’s my life itself.’

– You want me to believe this?

‘Then what do you want to believe?’

– ….

I thought he might be a being who could see through everything since he was pretending to be the owner of the amulet.

There seemed to be no such degree of omniscience.

Rather, I felt like he was a feisty yet newbie.

What is the existence of eyes? Constellations? It is strange that it is contained in an item, even though it is a constellation.

So, is it an entity from another world that has been possessed by an amulet? Although it is plausible, the question mark is not resolved.

‘What I want to say is simple. I will change the fate and future to come. ‘You must become my foundation.’

– Bold guy! If I wanted to, I could turn you into an idiot right now!

‘If it was something that would pull pranks like that, there would be no need to be sealed in an amulet. ‘Can’t you think of lowering your status now?’

– hmm.

The eyes stopped talking.

Then, suddenly, the environment surrounding Ganghu began to change rapidly.

As the darkness cleared, what was immediately revealed to Ganghu was an unexpected background.

‘This is…’

The background of the time when Kang-hu was living the life of the original author began to unfold.

In the summer, the studio was humid all day and night.

* * *

Meanwhile, Jeong Yu-ri continued to watch Kang-hu with worried eyes.

From the moment he grabbed the amulet, Ganghu stayed still.

It didn’t even move as if it was watching a still screen.

It was a very good decision to prepare for this by sitting on a comfortable sofa in advance.

Of course, he didn’t touch Ganghu. Everyone, including the bereaved family, was outside the room.

Jeong Yu-ri suddenly had a question, so she asked one of the bereaved family members. It was an elderly man.

“Do you know what happened to the hunters who touched Infernus before and became idiots?”

“I remember it took about a week to regain its original appearance. but.”

“but?”

“He lost a lot of his skills as a hunter. “They said there was nothing left that was most important.”

“That means…”

“According to someone who experienced it firsthand, the Constellation contract was terminated.”

As the hunter’s level increases, dependence on and connection with the constellation increases exponentially.

Jeong Yu-ri imagined it.

What if the constellations you signed a contract with suddenly disappear overnight?

Most of the abilities you have now will plummet to half or less.

‘If that happens to you too…’

As if reading Jeong Yu-ri’s thoughts, Kang Bok-hwa, who was next to her, held her hand tightly.

“Yuri. Usually, most things turn out much better than the worst case scenario we think they will. “Don’t worry too much.”

“Grandma…”

“Don’t you feel the fighting spirit in that look? “There is no focus in the eyes, but the power that lives and breathes in the whole body.”

“Yes, of course.”

“Let’s trust the insight of the old master of heaven and trust your grandfather’s insight. “Everyone acknowledged it.”

“yes! “I believe it will work out!”

Has the power of words been conveyed? As soon as Jeong Yu-ri finished speaking, a reaction came from Kang-hu.

Suddenly, life came to my unfocused eyes, and then a fierce glare appeared.

Not only that, but red light was continuously erupting from the Infernus he was holding, surrounding Ganghu.

“Oh…”

The first to be surprised was the bereaved family. Maybe it was because it was my first reaction.

“Wow really… you did it? “Have I never had a case like that before?”

Jeong Yu-ri asked the bereaved family.

The corners of his mouth were already hanging from his ears. This was because Kang-hoo did it so quickly that he felt ashamed of himself for worrying about it just now.

Then the man who had talked to Jeong Yu-ri earlier answered.

“This is my first time. “I never imagined that such a dazzling light could emanate from an amulet.”

“Of course, Oppa Kanghu…”

She stuck out her tongue.

Although I don’t know the process, I felt like I knew the reason for Kanghu’s spirit and his determination to take on the challenge with confidence from the beginning.

Kang-hoo soon turned his gaze to the surroundings, looked at Jeong Yu-ri, and nodded with confident eyes.

It was a look in his eyes that said it was all over.

* * *

Kanghu had an amazing experience.

I was able to have a time where all the memories and times from my time as the original author were vividly engraved in my mind.

These were memories from the past that I had forgotten for a while and could be said to be a past life.

But if there was something else.

In the past, when I thought about my past life, I remembered it as if it happened yesterday and as if it were my own.

So, although there was awareness as Shin Kang-hu, there was also clear awareness as the author of the original work.

But this time was different.

I felt like I was in a third party position, like a viewer watching a movie being shown in a movie theater.

I was definitely looking back at my past life, but it felt distant, as if I was looking at someone else’s life.

The memories were still clear, but I didn’t feel like they were ‘my memories’.

On the other hand, his life as Shin Kang-hu was imprinted more clearly.

I felt like my life itself, and the sense of heterogeneity that I sometimes felt from a third person’s perspective completely disappeared.

What can I say?

It felt like the synchronization with Shin Kang-hoo that had been going on steadily so far was completely achieved.

If I had been 99% Shin Kang-hu before, I could confidently say that I was 100% now.

“Phew….”

A sigh comes out of nowhere.

There was a lot going on inside.

These are really long and complicated things to describe in words.

But to sum it up, it was simple.

He became the master of Infernus, and the ‘eyes’ recognized his life and process.

And on the contrary, I felt very deeply interested. He began to view Ganghu as an object of curiosity and exploration.

Kang-hoo raised five fingers to the bereaved family, Jeong Yuri, and Kang Bok-hwa, who were watching him from outside.

This was something we discussed earlier, but it was a signal to give us a chance to look at the talisman’s options for just 5 minutes.

As it had already been agreed upon, they waited quietly outside.

However, he continued to be amazed as he looked at the amulet that had found its proper owner.

The person who appears to be Hunter’s mother, the original owner, shed hot tears.

It must be a complex feeling of regret and relief that he has finally heard his son’s will.

Kanghu held the amulet tightly and carefully checked the options.

What type of composition does a first-class amulet have?

If you are so picky about choosing an owner, is there some other hidden value or reason?

【Infernus】

【Grade: Grade 1】

【You can select up to three fields of stats excluding hidden stats to increase the total stat by 500.

After setup and distribution, 30 days are required to reset. The stats invested in one field cannot exceed 300.】

‘You mean three out of the rest excluding Darkness and Holy Power? First of all, strength, anti-darkness, and tenacity are essential, and I will decide on the stat values after looking at all the additional options.’

Ganghu’s gaze turned downward.

There was no need to rush stat distribution, so I was interested in other options that Infernus had.

【Hell’s Gate – You can fight with the new soldiers created by God’s Wind, but if you die, you become a new soldier whose soul has been bound.】 ‘…

God’s Wind that I was never able to get an answer to before. Is it an ability related to that? Being able to fight new recruits means you can go to special places like spiritual training?’

The content was unusual.

Even the name symbolizing the option was Hell Gate. Does it mean that it is possible to go to hell?

Considering that the name of the amulet item is Infernus, it is clear that there is no connection.

Kang-hu remembered the time when he first recognized God’s wind.

To save a grandmother and granddaughter who were in danger in Osaka, he killed a Toushi guild member.

I first saw this when I killed that guy.

【The contract with ‘God’s Wind’ has been terminated. It is a contract that cannot be maintained with an unrestricted contract.】

In other words, the Constellation was not usurped.

And when I saw the constellation window gradually fading, I somehow captured its contents in my eyes.

【God’s Wind】

【Contractors who end their lives by self-destruction are given a glorious opportunity to become members of the new army.】

Kang-hu was shocked by the content that packaged self-destruction as if it were death for God.

At the time, I initially assumed that ‘God’s Wind’ was an issue related to the Demon King.

Therefore, I decided that I couldn’t get an answer. Because the original ending was right before the descent of the Demon King.

This is because the true nature of God’s wind is revealed in a way that only shows a very small fragment of a word.

Even as a Kanghu, it was difficult to guess no matter how much he imagined.

One thing is certain: he doesn’t seem like he will be of much help to Kang-hoo. It’s closer to feeling like an invisible darkness.

For now, judgment on God’s wishes must be withheld. Next, Kanghu checked the next option.

【Eyes of Hell – Makes the Eye of Hell visible to the caster attempting to control their mind.

Depending on the caster’s anti-demon and mental resistance abilities, he or she may become an idiot.】

‘This is the key.’

It felt like some kind of mental immunity talisman.

Needless to say, it can block attacks from casters who attempt to control their minds.

Rather, it was a structure that made it possible to counter.

The entity that had been conversing with Ganghu earlier seemed to be referring to the ‘Eyes of Hell.’

The Gates of Hell and the Eyes of Hell.

Apart from the stat selection distribution, I felt that these two options contained the value and reason for the amulet’s existence.

God’s wind.

What kind of being is this guy that appears from outside the realm of unfathomable realms?

What Kang-hu was most wary of was the picture that this guy was attaching to Jang Si-hwan.

So, is there any way to turn God’s wind in my favor?

Questions lingered in my head, but I couldn’t help but ask myself.

Maybe I should go directly to the ‘Gate of Hell’ displayed in the options. A thought suddenly occurred to me.
