The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 35

Episode 35: The Great Decapitation (4)

Howling!

Just in case, Valtman used the divine protection of fire to activate a mechanism to protect himself.

Because it was an expected response, Kang-hoo, who had taken a step back, quickly caught his breath.

Waldmann, who temporarily lost his vision due to a loss of vision, had no idea where Ganghu was.

So Ganghu used an old-fashioned but most reliable means of attack in the current situation.

“Haaaab!”

The joy of the sky left my fingertips with a burst of energy and flew towards Baltman with a roar.

It was a dagger throw.

“I will kill you! “I will definitely kill you… kkeok!”

Waldman’s words, which had been burning his entire body with fire and his fighting spirit for revenge, stopped.

This was because the flying dagger pierced right between his eyes.

A clean blow that resulted in instant death without any need for confirmation.

Waldman knelt in place and did not move anymore, as if everything had stopped.

“If you speak lightly, it usually doesn’t end well.”

Kanghu clicked his tongue after confirming that Waldman’s life had been extinguished forever along with the flames.

【The level has increased significantly to 39.】

【The Decapitation skill has been successfully stolen from the target.】

Two messages were output at the same time.

Reached level 39.

Level 40, when you would acquire the basic skills for an assassin, was just around the corner.

From the moment I acquired the skill, I couldn’t help but have high expectations as my proficiency reached its maximum level.

【Great Decapitation】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max]

【Consumes 25% of health and magic power each to inflict a fatal blow to a single target.】 【

Damage is proportional to the total amount of strength of the weapon worn and the user, and inversely proportional to the opponent’s tenacity.】

【User level A monster hunter whose level is less than 33% of the level will die in one hit.】

“My level is now 39, so that means any monster or hunter below level 13 will die instantly.”

Ganghu confirmed the decapitation skill with a satisfied expression.

If I had learned it with a job penalty, it would have been a poor skill composition.

Since there was no penalty and maximum proficiency assistance was received, the composition was truly deceptive.

1 billion won spent on license rental?

It wasn’t a waste at all.

If we look at the potential value alone, we could be confident that it would be 10 times or even 100 times that amount of money.

“The loot is pretty good.”

Next, I picked up two green magic stones that fell on the spot where Valtman died.

Since the price per unit is 100 million won, 200 million won was recovered.

I wanted to reach level 40 and 50 quickly.

It was really fun to improve my skills one by one.

【It looks boring.】

Then, for the first time in a while, the Dimension Stealer spoke to me.

Since it is a constellation that rarely speaks, I felt glad just to speak to it.

“Now I’m thinking about raising the level of the dungeon I’m conquering.”

【It sure looks good. I won’t be able to properly motivate you at my current level.】

“I’m ready to accept the test at any time. “I think it would be good if you suggested it without hesitation.”

【I make the decision.】

“In the future, when more constellations start paying attention to me, then you too can become an old man in the back room.”

【Your arrogant personality is attractive, but don’t think you can provoke me with it.】

“Hehe, time is on my side.”

Kanghu smiled and answered.

It was also a show of confidence.

If he was an insignificant hunter, of course time would have been on the constellation’s side.

Kanghu thought of himself as a hunter with quite high investment value. From the constellation’s perspective.

I didn’t have much trouble conquering dungeons that were already level 100 or lower.

The only thing that is difficult is the boss monster, but this too is within a range that can be easily solved.

A level 39 hunter’s maximum ability is to solo play 50 level 4 dungeons at best.

But Kanghu was going beyond the limits and making the impossible possible.

That’s why he conquers high-level dungeons alone, monopolizes experience points, and continues to grow explosively.

It is not a result achieved by luck or fluke.

It was also the result of being wise enough to utilize 200% of one’s abilities.

* * *

That night.

Kanghu stopped by a bar located inside Suwon Station to celebrate his successful skill acquisition.

And, as always, I ordered Solarkium Burst.

The overall atmosphere of the bar was bright and nice. Perhaps because there were enough guards, there was no situation to raise eyebrows.

I thought it would be a city worth living in if it had the feel of Suwon Station.

At least there is no worry that a battle will suddenly break out or bloodshed will break out.

Of course, we cannot be at ease.

Bloodthirsty wolves always appear in spaces filled with peace and relaxation.

Daejeon Station, which has now become a huge melting pot of war, used to be a place with good security.

However, the tragedy began when Eclipse and the Black Lion, who were drooling over the interests that had grown in peace, extended their grip on Daejeon Station. With the addition of Lee Ye-rin’s blue eyes, it has now become hell.

“hmm.”

Kang-hoo, who realized that he was the only one sitting at the table, made a bitter expression.

It’s not that I don’t like being alone, but it doesn’t mean I don’t like having someone by my side.

It was definitely a feeling of great loneliness not having a friend to open up to when times were tough.

If you want to lean on Han Seo-yeon, you can lean on her. But that’s not the best thing for her.

‘friendship. love. ‘The reason why I don’t feel the meaning of this heavy feeling is probably because my feelings have been obliterated.’

Self-deprecating cynicism emerges.

That is how the character Shin Kang-hoo was created. He is cold-blooded and has no warm side.

However, it wasn’t always very cold, and there were times when it got very hot.

‘I hope the comrades at Cheongmyeong camp are doing well.’

Like right now.

There are memories and thoughts that suddenly come to mind. Of course, that’s it.

They do not try to do inefficient and dangerous things because of recognition and sympathy. It is complete control of reason.

‘Let’s rest for a day.’

After happily drinking a glass of Solarium Burst, Kanghu stood up immediately.

My body was quite strained during the battle with Waldman.

Since the atmosphere of Suwon Station was not bad, I also wanted to sleep comfortably here.

Now the business here is over.

Next, it’s time to go to Ground Zero.

Starting with the collection of Mad Solarchium, there is also a case about Jo Gu-bin, who was commissioned by Ye-rin Lee.

* * *

That time.

“How are you doing?”

The top floor of ‘Rikou Hotel’, a 5-star hotel and exclusive accommodation for guild members.

In a room also called the VIP room, a man was quenching his thirst with a glass of wine and thinking about Kang-hu.

It was Ahn Young-ho.

After returning to Japan.

He investigated Ganghu using sources inside and outside the guild.

Of course, since he used the pseudonym Jeong Seon-gyu, appropriate data was collected.

It seemed like there was quite a bit of information.

When I actually gathered the information, it was so poor that it was difficult to fill even half of an A4 sheet.

Because of this, I couldn’t even guess how he got that ability, starting with Ganghu’s skills and level.

“Obviously, each skill you used to save me was unusual… Even my uncle doesn’t trust me.”

In Ahn Young-ho’s memory, the moments he spent with Kang-hu were all vivid.

Even though I didn’t see it in person, I heard that Kanghu defeated two hunters in their level 80s with one blow.

Killing a trained hunter in an instant is not an easy task. Rather, it is close to impossible.

However, Ganghu easily overpowered the enemy and saved himself by leaping from building to building.

The class was clearly ‘Assassin’, but the skills used in conjunction with it were outside the scope of the occupation.

This is why even his maternal uncle and assassin Fumiya Suzuki refuses to believe him, saying he must have seen it wrong.

Of course, he was deeply grateful that Kang Hu was the benefactor who saved his nephew.

The guild’s perks and privileges promised to Ganghu were not empty words. He planned to treat Ganghu with courtesy.

It’s just that I think some of the nephew’s memories of Ganghu may have been exaggerated.

“I hope you come to Japan soon to have fun. There are a lot of good dungeons. “It would be nice if we could work together.”

When I thought of Ganghu, I felt strange because I felt a sense of admiration or awe for someone with power.

Is it like seeing a celebrity?

Maybe it’s because I feel more grateful because it’s a lifesaver.

“Shall I leave a text?”

I was thinking of making a casual contact. I also wanted to ask when you plan to come to Japan.

Since he is the type of person who cannot live with debt, Ahn Young-ho also wanted to express his gratitude to Kang-hoo in a more tangible way.

“Brother Seongyu, are you doing well? “I am Ahn Young-ho, who my brother saved the other day…”

The decision and action were quick.

Ahn Young-ho immediately started writing a text message to Kang-hu.

* * *

Seoul’s murderous prices.

For the average person, the cost of living in Seoul is cruel enough to force them to drink tap water in the bathroom instead of bottled water.

It was no longer a big burden for Kang-hu, whose balance had grown bigger.

Certainly, everything was stable in Seoul.

Guards are always stationed no matter which building you go to.

Safety evacuation facilities were also mandatory in all buildings.

The evacuation facility becomes a space that keeps civilians safe when out-of-control hunters commit violence and crime.

It is usually designed to last for more than an hour, before a constable from the Hunter Metropolitan Police arrives on the scene.

‘It is not wrong to say that Seoul is the city of CCTV.’

Kang-hu shook his head after looking at the CCTV that was visible wherever he went.

People think it is a strong protective device, but the picture Kang-hu sees is different.

CCTV is the means by which Jang Si-hwan and his associates effectively control and monitor the public.

If a being outside of their eyes is staying in Seoul, they can never escape this surveillance network.

What this means is that once you are caught by them, there is no place to run away. Unconditionally caught.

at that time.

On-site breaking news began to be reported through a large electronic display board installed in the center of Seoul Station.

– We just had a meeting between Jang Si-hwan, the master of the Jeonghwa guild, and Casey Rex, the master of the Fortuna guild.

– The two masters plan to go straight to the conference hall and sign an agreement on mutual cooperation and comprehensive exchange.

“nice! Is this a purification guild that is now going out into the world? “Wouldn’t the United States recognize the Fortuna Guild?”

“yes! “It’s a guild that can’t be lined up even in China or Japan, so it looks like they cracked the Purification Guild in one hit?”

“Isn’t this all thanks to Jang Si-hwan? “Because your skills are recognized, there’s nothing you can’t do!”

“I’m so drunk! I’m so drunk!”

People who heard the report rushed to praise Jang Si-hwan and his guild.

In fact, the whole of Seoul is like a huge fan club of the Jeonghwa guild. If you narrow it down, it is also Jang Si-hwan’s fan club.

For someone who is also called a hero of Seoul, such a favorable response was not surprising.

but.

‘The problem is that Casey Rex is also one of the thirteen stars.’

To Kang-hu, who knew the inconvenient truth, Go-Stop’s scheming and hitting like that just seemed odd.

There is no such thing as a modified work.
