The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 298
Episode 298: Infiltration (4)
“….”
“Did you miss the camp food? He’s so crazy. “You walk in on your own because you want to die.”
Kang Hu smiled and responded to Jo Hwan-seong’s reaction.
“I came to hang your hair in the middle of the camp. “Isn’t this enough of a reason to come here?”
“You may have been able to escape our camp because you were clever in the past, but not now.”
“well. “Seeing as how he entered the director’s office without anyone noticing, I don’t think this is particularly trustworthy.”
“We were so proud that Eclipse even issued an extermination order. This is why I have repeatedly told you that this guy has been ordered to be killed and that he should be quietly tracked down and killed.”
“who?”
“Who is it? “You are a captain I have great respect for.”
“They said it was rice with those herbs. “I understand why you respect me.”
Phew. Psst.
Meanwhile, the clones and illusions disappeared for as long as they could be maintained.
“Look at this. There is ultimately a limit to the talents that an assassin can wield. Shin Kang-hoo. If you leave now, I will guarantee your life. So fuck off. “Don’t get into trouble.”
Kang Hu shook his head and responded to Jo Hwan-seong’s rather long words. The structure of the content was almost the same.
“Look at this. There is ultimately a limit to the bullshit that can be made fun of with one’s mouth. Jo Hwan-seong. If you leave now, I will guarantee your life. So fuck off. “Don’t get into trouble.”
“…You bastard!”
Jo Hwan-seong, who was very excited by Kang-hoo’s answer, got angry and started to attack him.
Although the warden’s office was quite large, it was not a large space for two men to fight with blood and sweat.
Kang-hoo planned to use his teleportation ability to escape the scene if the situation went to the ‘worst’.
As I had some form of insurance to get out, my heart felt much lighter.
[Grant fire attribute]
The power of the attribute was given to the dagger.
For physical types like Jo Hwan-seong, things like fire attributes work well.
This is because the fire attribute plays a role in suppressing the strengthening or recovery of the body longer than other attributes.
at that time.
“Ha!”
Jo Hwan-seong boldly threw the double-edged ax he was holding at Kang Hu.
Throwing from close range.
The throwing, rather than swinging with the ax, which was his main weapon, was unexpected for Ganghu, so he responded immediately.
【Self-Defense – Level 3】
【Passive skill. When activated, it takes 1 hour to reactivate.】
【You can activate self-defense to neutralize all attacks from the outside for 0.5 seconds.】
【You can reactivate stage 2 using 33% of your mana.】
Step 2 was saved to suit the situation.
If the distance from Jo Hwan-seong had been far, it would have been difficult to calculate the time of 0.5 seconds, so I would have used step 2.
Rather, the close distance paradoxically made timing prediction easier.
Cough!
“Huh crazy?”
Jo Hwan-seong was astonished to see the double-edged ax he had ambitiously thrown get stuck in front of Kang Hoo and fall.
Until now, he has thrown his ax on numerous battlefields and many enemies have lost their lives to the ax.
Some people avoided the axe, and even if they did, there was a clear recoil, such as being pushed backwards.
Jo Hwan-seong had a lot of fun in battle by using this to force the enemy.
However, Kang-hu blocked the ax from his spot. I wasn’t pushed back and I wasn’t hurt.
【Soul Imprinting】
In the meantime, Ganghu recovered the daggers that had fallen on the floor with soul imprinting.
【Illusion】
【Light Blade】
He used the hallucination skill on the embarrassed Jo Hwan-seong and immediately continued throwing daggers with Lightning Blade.
This time, I was in a situation where I threw the dagger right after casting the illusion without looking at the results of the hallucination skill.
‘Predictive shot.’
The expression predictive shot is usually used for this type of attack.
The basic premise is that the opponent will suffer from hallucinations, and then the next skill is immediately followed.
In this way, if the hallucination is successful, it can have a greater effect than throwing a dagger after seeing the results.
Connecting after seeing the results gives you time to respond, but otherwise, there is no room for that at all.
‘Massive hunters usually run out of anti-darkness. I don’t know about millet skills, but I’ve never seen a case of raising an anti-horse.’
Kang-hu’s prediction was correct.
“Huh?”
Jo Hwan-seong, who suffered from hallucinations, momentarily lost his sense of direction and ability to perceive his surroundings.
Phew!
“Wow!”
As a result, the dagger missed its path and stuck in his left shoulder.
Perhaps because the dagger hit him without any time to react, Jo Hwan-seong’s huge body twisted sideways.
【Thunder attack】
As he was pushing away, Ganghu even launched a thunder attack.
If a lightning strike were placed indoors, there was a risk of a fire as the electric current exploded in all directions.
I thought it didn’t matter.
In fact, I thought it would be better if there was fire in the background. The more variables there are, the more advantageous it is for the assassin.
Don’t fall in!
“Woah!”
Jo Hwan-seong rolled his eyes and trembled at the pleasure of the electric current penetrating the wound on his left shoulder.
Jo Hwan-seong’s mind was already going into confusion due to the insane skill linkage.
It was confusing to the point where he was confused as to whether he was dealing with an assassin or a lightning-type wizard.
However, the limit of pain the body could endure was quite high, so Jo Hwan-seong was able to think of a counterattack.
Goooooh.
Jo Hwan-seong, who soon strengthened the strength of his legs, gained momentum in an instant and rushed towards Kang-hu.
I had the intention of lunging at Ganghu, but I also had the intention of retrieving the ax I had thrown earlier.
I’ve always recovered thrown axes this way, and it was a repertoire of attacks and recoveries that worked quite well.
“….”
Kang Hu thought carefully as he watched Jo Hwan-seong rushing towards him.
Jo Hwan-seong’s legs were shining at first, but now his head was shining.
Judging by the fact that his upper body was bent forward, it seemed like he was planning to headbutt him properly.
‘I’ve also raised my tenacity considerably, so this time it’s worth trying to fight back with skill instead of avoiding it.’
The skill that Ganghu, who had made his own judgment, faced instead of avoiding was.
[Petrification]
It was a skill that turned the entire front of one’s body into a solid stone form.
In the past, when tenacity was low, it was a skill that could not be easily used because its durability was questionable.
However, at this point, having achieved 1,000 points of tenacity, it was a skill that had become stronger than in the past.
Within.
Quang!
A head-on collision occurred.
The sound of stone hitting stone was clearly audible.
Kwasik!
“Ugh.”
The stone shattered and Ganghu’s body was pushed backwards. Two or three steps is not enough and you end up hitting the wall.
However, Jo Hwan-seong experienced a much greater shock than Kang-hu.
He seemed to be wandering aimlessly in the air with his eyes wandering wildly.
“What kind of rock is this…”
In the meantime, I managed to retrieve the ax and tried to somehow maintain my balance by holding the ax.
Jo Hwan-seong bit his lip as he felt pain for the first time in his life.
Until now, there has never been a time when I couldn’t knock it down by hitting it with my hardened head.
Moreover, if the target was a class called ‘water body’ like an assassin, it was natural to win every battle.
However, I was hit by a skill that turned me into stone, a skill I couldn’t even imagine an assassin would implement.
This was a picture I had never thought of, even in the realm of prediction or imagination.
Who in the world would think that an assassin would use a defense skill that turns his body to stone?
It’s the same as expecting a physical hunter like himself to hide and assassinate with his agile body.
In short, it makes no sense. But to Kang-hu, there were only stories that made no sense.
【Acceleration】
【Leap】
Even though Ganghu’s whole body was screaming due to the collision that had just occurred, he combined acceleration and leap and clung to him with all his might.
Jo Hwan-seong had already recovered the ax anyway, so launching a counterattack again was bound to be difficult.
This was because now was the perfect situation to exploit Jo Hwan-seong’s loophole.
Jo Hwan-seong, who had just regained his focus and recognized Kang-hu’s approach, raised his axe.
The plan was to block Kang-hu’s approach by somehow pushing forward.
But Ganghu’s movements were faster.
Ganghu jumped upwards, using the ax lifted by Jo Hwan-seong as a stepping stone.
【Non-Air Attack】
I immediately deployed an Aerial Attack without measuring the situation. It was a blow that instantly turned my right leg purple.
and.
Baaaaagh…!
“Gagging…”
Jo Hwan-seong could hear a sound he thought he would never hear coming from under his chin.
It was the sound of my jaw being completely shattered.
* * *
Same time.
Jeon Se-hyuk and Ban Se-young were checking the weather that had just begun to change.
It was raining earlier than previously forecast. This was good news for those who were waiting for rain.
Ban Se-young said, looking in the direction of Cheongmyeong concentration camp with an anxious expression.
“Is it better to move early?”
“why?”
“It’s true that Kanghu oppa is talented, but I don’t think he can kill the camp commander with his single body.”
“You won’t be a match?”
“No, fighting is not the problem. “It doesn’t make sense to infiltrate the camp.”
“Hmm…”
“Honestly, don’t you think so too? “We have already figured out through insider information that the camp is not just a corner store and has its own well-established security facilities, right?”
“That’s right.”
“So, because this attack could face strong resistance from the beginning without insider cooperation, we twisted the plan.”
“But somehow I feel like I can do it.”
“If it were going to be that easy, it would have been done a long time ago. “It’s not that I don’t trust Kang-hu oppa, but the situation is just too tight.”
Ban Se-young was skeptical of the results.
This is because it is a fairly large camp, and there are many areas that are difficult to infiltrate alone.
Of course, I did not think that whether Kang Hu’s assassination failed or not was important.
This is because Jeon Se-hyuk and his colleagues, as well as the Cheongan mercenaries and the Black Lion’s full strength, are already on standby.
According to the information confirmed just now, Kang Dong-hyun and Eclipse’s main force was still in the Cheongju Liberation Zone.
In other words, even if they were aware of the situation in the Cheongmyeong concentration camp, it would have taken an entire year to come to help.
Unless there is a teleportation magic circle somewhere, the situation will be over by the time we arrive at the scene.
“No, you will be contacted.”
Jeon Se-hyuk smiled and looked down at his smartphone again. If Kang-hu contacts you, it will be displayed here.
He continued:
“When I look at Shin Kang-hoo, I feel like I’m seeing the main character in a novel. “I feel like I can accomplish anything, and nothing seems impossible, right?”
“It’s true that I have such expectations, but… still, my thoughts have to be realistic.”
“okay. “Maybe I made Shin Kang-hoo carry too much of a burden.”
Jeon Se-hyuk, who was soon persuaded(?) by Ban Se-young, nodded. In fact, it is true that it is a picture that makes no sense.
It is not the size of a camp that can be breached by a single person. If it breaks through, it will be something like a novel.
But right then.
A video call was made to Jeon Se-hyuk through Hunter Gram. The sender was Kang Hu.
You may be in the middle of a battle or infiltration, but suddenly you make a video call?
Probably not. It would be like giving up and coming out and contacting them.
After Jeon Se-hyuk came to that conclusion, he received a video call from Kang-hoo. There were no expectations.
However, what graced the first screen was none other than the image of Jo Hwan-seong lying down in a blood clot.
And the next word made Jeon Se-hyuk and Ban Se-young feel shivers throughout their bodies.
-I killed it.
Didn’t need much explanation.
