The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 34

Episode 34: Decapitation (3)

So, I made a plan.

If I ever need to purchase an item in the future, I will definitely focus all my attention on the weapon.

The Joy of the Sky is a good enough weapon, but if you have the money, you can get a much better dagger than this.

Ganghu decided to place weapons first in order to more accurately extract firepower in battle.

Even if the weapon is upgraded to level 3, many things will change.

* * *

Thanks to the steady strategy without overdoing it, Ganghu’s level went up steadily.

It was already 37.

All bonus stats gained from leveling up went into physical strength.

The special effect of Soul Mate Gloves, ‘Proportional Stamina’, also gradually increased.

“I’m a little tired.”

Kanghu massaged his stiff shoulder and looked at the boss in front of him.

Warlock Waltman.

If we look at the composition in more detail, Waltman is a ‘physical strength wizard’.

What this means is that he is a wizard who is both stubborn and knows how to use magic.

Because it has a good ability to withstand, it has no aversion to close combat, and in some cases, active attacks are possible.

Usually, wizards are reluctant to engage in close range combat for fear of being harmed.

However, stamina-type wizards are confident in their recovery and tenacity, so they pour out attacks without thinking back.

Waltman’s specialty is ‘scorching heat’.

The ignition ability is its main specialty, and perhaps that is why the battlefield is designed in a way related to fire.

Torches are being lit across the battlefield at 3m intervals, and lava is flowing not far away.

If anything happens, I wonder if I could die by melting into lava instead of dying by Waltman.

“Whoa.”

I took a deep breath.

Eliminating Baltmann is not the top priority.

The first thing to do is induce his special defense skills.

Waltman often uses a skill called ‘Burning’ to block his opponent’s skills.

Just like the crude name, the actual implementation was like that, burning the flying skill with fire and swallowing it with the mouth.

In that case, 50% of the mana invested in the skill could be absorbed. It’s a strange skill.

Ganghu planned to have Waldman use the Burning Skill in the Great Decapitation skill book.

This is because if you burn and swallow the skill book like that, the Decapitation skill will be learned regardless of your will.

Unlike hunters, boss monsters do not receive a penalty even if they learn a skill book with a different personality.

so that.

As long as Ganghu killed Waltman, he could rob him of the decapitation skill.

It is a skill with 100% pure power with the penalty completely erased.

terup.

I put a stem of solarium in my mouth.

No matter how hard you fight while controlling your breathing, you can’t kill a guy the size of Waldman without triggering hypersensitivity.

So prepare in advance.

“You lowly creature! “Why don’t you just go back from here without going through any trouble?”

Waldman said something from afar, but Ganghu didn’t even reply.

Sometimes there are hunters who get angry and attack someone like that, but this is the most stupid case. It doesn’t help anything.

Faaah!

Instead of answering, Ganghu opened the battle by linking leap and acceleration skills at the same time.

Leaping is a skill that has tremendous power in running in the desired direction.

However, if you add acceleration skills here, it was possible to move like lightning in the blink of an eye.

As the number of skills that could be utilized increased, Kanghu was planning a structure that linked the two skills together.

This is because you can activate the awakening effect – which significantly reduces skill casting time – whenever you want.

“Burn up.”

Waldmann responded immediately.

Although he might have been taken aback by Kang-hoo’s crazy speed, Waldmann actually looked like it was going well.

Grumble!

A huge wall of flames rose up around the point that Waldman pointed to with his fingertip.

The bright red wall radiated heat as if a small sun had been placed here.

This was so powerful that even Kang Hu could not ignore it and pass through it.

If you put this kind of fire in front of your nose, it’s likely that some changes will occur in Waldman’s body.

In fact, the person involved did not even blink an eye even though a fire started right in front of his nose. It wasn’t even hot.

‘It would be nice for me if you created an area that blocks the view.’

Rather than being surprised by Waldman’s immediate response, Kang Hu also thought of it as a good means of use.

so.

By giving fire properties to the protective barrier, a wall of fire was created that could equally block vision.

Because the protective barrier was an installation type, it was possible to place it wherever you wanted.

In that state, Kanghu slightly extended his hand toward Waldman’s position, which he had already seen.

The linked skill was kidnapping.

Did he never think that something would pull him beyond the invisible flames?

“Huh!”

Valtman fluttered in the air with a disembodied scream and was instantly dragged in front of Ganghu.

Sigh!

After twisting Waldman’s collar so that he could not escape easily.

Sigh! Poop! Sigh! Sigh!

Using the bleeding stabbing skill, he continued to stab the dagger into Waldman’s shoulder and chest.

“Kaaaaak…!”

Even while Waldman was groaning, he used his right hand to perform another skill.

It was the number of aggressive responses thrown before the worst situation, such as instant death or serious injury, occurred.

Grumble!

“damn.”

Kanghu bit his lower lip and took a step back.

Waltman protected himself using a skill called Fire Protection.

This was a possible response since he was absolutely immune to flames with a skill that turned his entire body into a huge flame.

It’s definitely tricky.

Unlike the boss monsters that had easily taken their lives, Waltman’s response was methodical.

Of course, that doesn’t mean Kang-hu let go and couldn’t do anything. I just hurt you too.

Now it’s time to put a price on it.

【Blood Flower】

Puff Puff Puff!

“Kaaaaaaaa!”

As soon as he used blood fire, multiple simultaneous explosions occurred from both of Waldmann’s shoulders and the upper trapezius chest.

This was the power of blood and flower.

Use the previously created wound as a medium to inflict unexpected additional damage to the opponent!

Ganghu struck again.

Whoa! Whoa!

This time it was a shadow walk.

Five shadows begin to rush forward.

Kanghu used Shadow Walk again, which became possible to use again due to the awakening effect.

Kaduk!

Then, without any hesitation, he bit down on the stem of Solakium and greedily swallowed the juice flowing out from inside.

This is because the onset of mana hypersensitivity is certain.

Once again, when Baltmann creates a loophole, he must be sure to attack it. Hectic.

“I’ll burn it all down!”

Waldman saw Ganghu’s shadow scattered in all directions and nervously stretched out his hand toward the sky.

Then, the rain of fire that had already formed began to pour down like a shower.

Since it was not possible to specifically attack Ganghu, the calculation was to attack all targets at the same time.

‘This kind of aggressive response is possible because you won’t be attacked by attacks using your own attributes.’

Deep down, I envied Waltman.

Since I knew how to use a dagger better than anyone else, I thought it would be great to be invincible to dagger attacks.

Papat.

Ganghu selected one of the shadows that still had its form and changed its position in an instant.

Waldmann was not interested in shadows. I was just looking at the main body.

So, when Kang-hu suddenly disappeared from sight, his pupils shook and he panicked.

yet.

Ganghu approached Waldman again from the nearest position, gritted his teeth and plunged his dagger.

Phew!

“Keuuk! This guy…!”

Since I had experienced the fire protection skill once, when I tried the same response, I backed away slightly and then approached again.

As Waldman’s response patterns were analyzed one by one, his movements no longer seemed complicated.

‘I got hit hard by Shadow Walk, so I don’t think I want to get hit again.’

Ganghu threw the bait.

He deployed the Shadow Walk skill again, this time openly sending a shadow in front of him.

Since I previously experienced changing the positions of the shadow and body, I don’t want to be subjected to the same repertoire again.

Right then.

Ganghu took out the Decapitation Skill Book from his pocket and threw the book at Waldman with all his might.

I slightly adjusted the speed of the shadow and adjusted the timing so that the skill book reached before it.

Was it because his anger at being treated one-sidedly by Kang-hoo was rising to the top of his head?

“Aaaah!”

Valtman, whose face was so red that it felt like it was going to explode, spewed flames forward like a dragon’s breath.

It was a burning and eating skill.

‘it’s okay.’

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Soon, the decapitation skill book that was involved in burning and eating disappeared without shape in an instant.

Instead, the contents, which were replaced in the form of blue essence, fell into Waltman’s mouth.

If I had burned the skill, I would have replenished mana for Waltman.

Unfortunately, what Valtman got was not the mana he needed, but a strange skill he didn’t know how to use.

I ate it anyway!

Now you can kill Baltman.

Now that I can steal the decapitation skill from him.

Waldman, who seemed to have thought he had done something in vain, was so excited that he stretched out his hands towards Kang-hu.

“I will kill you!”

This time, something like an elongated whip was created above his hand. It is a skill called Whip of Fire.

It was a very tricky guy as it not only repeatedly decreased and increased arbitrarily, but also caught fire immediately upon impact.

Kanghu was not embarrassed and used his leap to get close to Waldman, which could be called extreme.

And before the strong whip hit his body, he took advantage of lateral movement and went behind Waldmann.

“Ugh.”

Kang Hu frowned.

My body was writhing in pain, probably because I was using my skills without stopping.

Even though the pain-relieving effects of Solakium and the Ring of Perseverance were being applied, I still felt this much pain.

If it weren’t for the two auxiliary means, I would have been rolling around on the floor instead of fighting.

I once again became grateful for the existence of assistive means.

Mana hypersensitivity continued to eat away at my stamina and cause pain, but I was able to endure it nonetheless.

Phew!

“Aaaah!”

He thrust the dagger into the hollow space between Waldmann’s waist and side from behind.

Perhaps because it was a boss monster of the wizard profession, the strength of the armor it wore inside was not very high.

Kang-hu held the dagger that had been stabbed in that state tightly and twisted it to the point where the words were cruel.

He turned it again and again with all his might, as if opening the lid of a tightly locked container.

For those who suffered, it had to be hell.

This is because it is a pain that not only distorts the skin and muscles, but also the internal organs. If you can withstand even a little bit of pain, that’s abnormal.

“Kaaaa!”

Waldmann screamed.

Without stopping, Kanghu continued to pour vision-stealing and shallow confusion skills into Waltman.

You have to take away his vision and confuse him about space to ensure that he delivers the final blow.

Finale.

From the beginning, Ganghu had no intention of prolonging the battle.

You don’t get a second chance. There is no next time. There is no such thing as luck or fluke.

The first chance you seize must be your last chance!

Kang-hu planned to see the end here.
