The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 303
Episode 303: Liberation (3)
* * *
Soon, the situation in the camp went into the process of being reorganized.
Some of the guards fled, some died in battle, and the rest all surrendered.
When the issue of defense facilities being neutralized due to insider betrayal and the early death of Major General Cho Hwan-seong arose.
Most of the guards had predicted the future early on. It would be difficult for the Cheongmyeong camp to hold out for long.
So, when the guards saw that the main gate defense line had been breached so easily, they raised their hands and surrendered without hesitation.
In the process, a laughable skit was created in which the Black Lion Hunters, who had a lot of bad feelings, killed the guard who surrendered.
In any case, the situation was quickly resolved, and the Cheongmyeong camp and mine were jointly managed by the Cheongan mercenaries and the Black Lion.
For this purpose, there was a prior coordination process and a permanent management organization was launched.
There didn’t seem to be any major problems, at least for the time being. Jeon Se-hyuk’s group also decided to take on the role of mediator.
At the same time, after leaving essential security personnel and confirming the normalization of defense facilities.
The Cheongan mercenaries and the Black Lion withdrew their main forces to Daejeon.
This is because the possibility of Eclipse targeting Daejeon’s main base could not be ruled out.
Coincidentally, Eclipse’s application for Cheongju Liberation Zone had just finished.
The remnants of Black, who fought until the end, all eventually died.
According to the rumor, there were Black hunters who surrendered in the middle, but Kang Dong-hyun ordered them all to be killed.
It was probably out of anger at having been caught off guard by the Union and losing the Cheongmyeong camp without any time to do anything.
From Eclipse’s perspective, isn’t the goose that lays the golden egg lost to its competitors?
It would be strange if I wasn’t angry. And Kang Dong-hyeon was not a big-hearted person who was particularly merciful to hostile forces.
It was a case of someone who often pretended to have a big heart, but ultimately kept it in his heart and took revenge.
During the organizing process, Kanghu met the people involved and exchanged greetings one by one.
Old faces Lee Ye-rin and Jeon Se-hyuk once again thanked Kang Hoo for his performance and confirmed the validity of the written contract.
However, I could not say hello to the executives of Black Lion, a member of the alliance, because they were not present.
I wondered what was going on, but they said they were tracking down Eclipse’s guards who were running away.
According to Yerin Lee, she said that she would capture them somehow and collect ransom from Eclipse.
Of course, Lee Ye-rin, who heard the story and also relayed it, was negative about Kang Dong-hyun paying the ransom.
Should we really spend money on the defeated soldiers?
Since they have eyes to see, they may pretend to use it, but they will probably offer a poor ransom price to the Black Lion.
It would be said that he presented conditions that would lead to a breakdown in the first place and then tried to save his subordinates until the end.
The picture was so eye-catching that Kang-hu and Lee Ye-rin burst into laughter even though they were not talking to each other.
It seems like you only see what you know.
After saying hello, Kang-hoo started talking about the dungeon.
“Anyway, I’m going to go into a dungeon to get some fresh air. Are you okay?”
“Of course. “We need to keep a clear record, so please just sign the list of dungeons you will enter here.”
“Of course.”
The documents presented by Lee Ye-rin included the official name and location of each dungeon and Ganghu’s strategy record.
As the union was a promise and contract, it seemed like they were following the rules without giving more or less.
Kanghu also found it more comfortable that way.
If Lee Ye-rin had been told that she could attack one or two more times to show her discretion…
I would have judged that she lacks the ability to distinguish between public and private matters. In other words, trust would have decreased.
Susssseu.
While Kang-hu was signing.
Jeon Se-hyuk, who was watching this happily, added.
“Thanks to Kang-hoo, we are now able to hold a meeting in the middle of the director’s office.”
“I agree too. “My wish was to slam my fist into Eclipse’s solar plexus, and I got my wish fulfilled through Kang-hoo.”
Lee Ye-rin also seemed to feel similar feelings to Jeon Se-hyuk.
The two were making sad expressions and gestures as if they had made a promise. Is it ‘pyeon-an’?
Kang-hoo, who soon finished signing, looked at the two people and smiled.
The reason why I couldn’t help but smile was because Kang-hu also felt relieved in a different way.
It feels like the blood-stained past has been washed away with yet another blood!
The expression may be a bit strange, but the feeling I felt as a person was refreshing and refreshing.
widely!
Kang-hoo, who soon finished signing, responded by pointing somewhere beyond the window of the director’s office.
“Next time we should aim for a bigger one.”
A person who can be recognized without having to refer to him/her. Clearly the ‘bigger one’ was still alive.
In order to end this twisted evil relationship, he must eventually die. The process and conclusion are simple.
* * *
The beginning of the dungeon raid.
It was a series of easy raids because I chose the lowest level dungeon out of the seven.
Since the recommended level was less than 100, it was only a warm-up level for Ganghu.
Although there may not be anything helpful in terms of experience, we were able to collect a lot of data in terms of ‘experience’.
What Kanghu truly felt in this dungeon was the result of his anti-dark horse tenacity stat that he had steadily raised.
The main monster in this dungeon is the ‘Needle Squirrel’, which spits needle-like spit out of its mouth.
And there was a ‘flame bird’ that looked similar to an eagle but could spit fire from its mouth.
These guys were monsters that specialized in physical attacks called water dams and magical attacks called magic dams, respectively.
However, to Kang-hu, their attack felt like a cotton bat rather than a fatal blow.
Even if a needle squirrel’s needle hits the body directly, it feels like being hit by a rubber ball.
The Flame Bird’s fire ended at the point where Kang-hu’s body felt soot and a little bit of warmth.
Even if I turned it up really high, it only felt like rubbing a hot hand warmer on my skin.
‘Yes, this is overwhelming with stats. It’s a numbers game that will become more important the more you look up.’
Because he was intoxicated with his superiority as a relative strongman, Kanghu could also be a relative weakling to some people.
So I didn’t let down my guard.
Everything is a relative evaluation.
* * *
20 minutes later.
“Huh…”
The middle boss monster ‘Red Mask’, who lost his life almost as soon as it started, fell down helplessly.
The level difference was so severe that there was no situation that could be called a battle.
To sum it up, fluff, flutter. This was it. I wonder if it makes sense, but there is a scene in front of me that has made sense.
However, the skill stolen from Red Mask was a skill that Ganghu wondered if it could be a skill.
【Cross-dress】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【Utilizes magical power to develop a cross-dress that maintains its appearance perfectly for 1 minute.
It is impossible to modulate the voice, and even shallow contact or abnormal flow of magical energy can cause problems with maintaining the cross-dressing status.】
“I really have this skill…”
Ganghu burst into laughter.
Of course, if you have a skill, there is a way to use it later. In some cases, you can also combine skills using the ‘Creativity’ constellation that you recently acquired.
But until then, it would be more efficient to somehow find a use for it and use it.
Crossdressing was out of Kanghu’s interest.
No, I hated it from the beginning.
That’s why I felt deep disgust when people like Heo Jeong-tae and Gong Tae-su dressed up as women in the past.
“….”
A skill I don’t even want to evaluate. One thing that is certain is that it will never be used for sexual purposes.
However, if it was truly necessary to wear crossdressing due to strategic needs, it seemed possible to use it.
If someone you know finds out, it will lead to bad news, but it is a great skill to catch someone off guard.
Afterwards, the main boss monster was conquered quickly.
In the first place, the dungeon was four or five levels lower than the level of Ganghu, so there was no blockage.
‘Florence of the Flame’, who appeared as the main boss monster, only used her signature skill once and was beaten to death by Ganghu.
Even though it had a pretty cool name, it was a miserable and bad ending.
【Shallow Flash】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max]
【Creates a brief flash of light and causes temporary blindness.】 It
was not a skill that could be used all-purpose at any time, as it did not work at all even if only the eyes were closed.
However, it was good for suddenly creating a variable like a flashbang and neutralizing the opponent’s perspective.
I can’t say it was a very useful skill, but it was a skill that was well worth using.
‘So there are still 6 dungeons left where you can add skills in this way? A total of 12 groups.’
In any case, more is better than skill.
Even if it was a trivial skill, there was no harm in securing it, so Ganghu enjoyed the wait and excitement.
Since this was the lowest level dungeon, I would be able to steal better skills from higher level dungeons.
at that time.
“hmm?”
Ganghu looked curious after checking the activated item reward from the dead Florence.
Although there was a time delay, a pretty good item from him was activated as a reward.
It was a shoe item.
【Stella – Shoes】
【Grade: Grade 4】
【Agility +100】
The shoe item that Ganghu is currently wearing was a simple one that only increased the agility stat by 100.
【Sprint – Shoes】
【Grade: Level 3】
【Agility +150】
【Strength +50】
The new shoes, Sprint, not only increase agility by 50 more than before, but also have strength correction.
Since it is a shoe item that cannot be worn multiple times, I was always a bit disappointed that it was rated 4.
Thanks to this, the item grade has also been raised one level. The composition of the assisted stats is also good.
【Shinganghu Lv. 276】
【Class: Assassin】
【Unique Talents: Fairly excellent main power / Very good body vision / Versatility】
【Strength 1447】【Agility 1494】
【Stamina 1115】【Magic power 31】
【Anti-horsepower 1060】【Zip 1000】
【* Dark Ages 465 】【* Divine power 125】
Ganghu, who had seen the status window for the first time in a long time, looked proud at the composition of all high stats except for magical power.
This is an all-rounder-type stat composition that you would never see in a typical assassin.
Usually, in anti-demon or tenacity configurations, the stats drop significantly, and one of the two is low in stamina and strength.
In Ganghu’s case, all of his stats were high except for his magic stat, which he strategically gave up on growth.
If you bring in an assassin of the same level, there will be a two to three times difference in stats in at least three areas.
After checking his stats with satisfaction, Ganghu left the dungeon with no more regrets and came out.
It was not far from the director’s office where Lee Ye-rin and Jeon Se-hyuk had a conversation earlier, so I wondered if the two people were still there.
“hmm.”
As expected, while the two stayed the same, two new people who were not there before had joined.
Black Lion’s Kwak Hyung-soo and Kwak Hyeong-seok brothers.
In the original work, they were the masters of a force that fell after a bloody fight with Lee Ye-rin after the fall of Eclipse.
to sum it up.
These were pieces of baggage that were very likely to hinder Lee Ye-rin in the future and take a lot of her strength away.
