The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 48

Episode 48 Growth, more growth (1)

Kang Hu believed in self-defense.

This type of rechargeable passive is useful when needed.

Moreover, the judgment is also top-notch.

Any skill or attack will be blocked at least once.

An extreme example would be that it would be able to survive even if a rock falls from the sky.

So I ignored the other guys, looked at the leader, and rushed at him.

Perhaps because it was after Kang-hu had delivered a blow earlier, the expression on the captain’s face with the dagger was not very bright.

However, since he had better eyesight and more medication, he seemed to be even more poisonous.

“Fuck you, you bastard!”

As expected, the captain fought back without losing.

The purple energy rising from the dagger seemed like it must have been a very life-threatening blow.

However, Kang-hu still had a level 1 self-defense defense mechanism that had not been exhausted.

Secured invincibility.

Kang-hu completely forgot about defense and just went straight to the captain.

and.

Phew! Percussion!

Their daggers crossed.

There was a sound of flesh being pierced from somewhere and a snapping sound from another.

The results were mixed.

“Wow!”

“I told you to go on your way.”

The captain died.

It was an accurate blow from the beginning, as it was aimed at the heart that was supposed to be enshrined in the left chest.

As it was a place where a large-scale decapitation was prepared just in case, I didn’t have the talent to survive without wearing armor.

【Kill the target and steal the contract with the ‘corrupted agitator’.】

【Corrupted Agitator】

【Gives a painful wound effect and reduces the recovery efficiency of the wounded area by 25%.】

‘It’s okay. Why this constellation is with such a bad guy… It’s none of my business. ‘It’s my constellation now.’

Ganghu tilted his head when he saw the information on the constellation he had stolen from the captain.

Because it was a pretty good constellation.

Lowering the recovery efficiency means lowering the efficiency of not only self-regeneration but also healing.

For assassins who engage in a lot of close combat and have a high chance of inflicting fatal injuries, this scratches an itch.

“…How did you avoid it?”

“Fuck it.”

“Hey, let’s just run away! “The captain is gone!”

The other hunters, who saw the captain lying dead, started to run away without even looking back.

It was a wise choice.

If their subordinates fight while their leader is dead, the outcome will be obvious.

They were completely frightened by the invincibility judgment of Ganghu’s level 1 self-defense.

Because I saw it clearly with my own two eyes.

The captain’s dagger attack was clearly a powerful blow. Enough to kill quite a few monsters in one blow.

However, for Kang-hu, it was a foolish attack that went in vain through the air and did not even reach his body.

Everyone could clearly see that it was due to Ganghu’s skill or some effect.

【What a satisfying flow. These are insignificant things that can’t even touch my contractor.】

The Dimension Stealer responded with satisfaction.

All stolen constellations become subordinate to the dimension usurper’s lower level constellations.

So it was no wonder that they responded with satisfaction.

【The more you please me, a noble constellation and goddess, the more you, the contractor, will be given the same status.】

“…?”

I couldn’t believe my ears.

Being a noble saint can be understood as the pride of the Dimension Stealer herself, but being a goddess?

I didn’t specify gender because it’s a neutral voice, but doesn’t the name have a certain connotation?

It may be a prejudice, but deep down I thought he was a man, but it turned out to be a female god.

Of course, gender is not important.

“Hey…!”

Phew!

“Quek.”

In the meantime, a hunter who seemed to be trying to run away and tried to counterattack Ganghu died in vain.

If I had gone the same way, my life would have been saved, but for no reason, one unfortunate constellation changed hands.

【You have killed the target and stolen the contract with the ‘Cunning Flatterer’.】

【Cunning Flatterer】

【Increases the holy power of all contracted constellations by 15%. It constantly inspires them.】

‘Pumpkins are coming in on vines.’

It is meaningful to increase the sacred power of the constellation.

This is because prestige and honor increase in the world of constellations.

This usually increases the depth and intensity of power that can be utilized.

In some cases, it may be possible to share the power of an advanced constellation with the contracted hunter.

To use scanning as an example, Ganghu, who can only scan constellations, is given the additional ability to scan stats.

Although this is just an example, it is something that can become a reality at any time.

That’s how the situation was resolved.

Since he could not enter the dungeon yet, Ganghu escaped from the scene.

Even though it didn’t seem like anything special, I could see quite a few corpses scattered here and there on the way out.

It is a place where not two, but four forces are competing.

There are no allies and we are all enemies.

If it’s not an ally, you can’t help but be suspicious.

* * *

Kanghu sat on the rooftop of a building overlooking the city and took a break with a sip of canned coffee.

I thought about resting at the hotel, but it was temporarily closed due to the fighting that had taken place earlier.

So, I went up to the roof of the ugly building that was under construction and looked around.

At that moment, four forces were fighting in front of the dungeon where the magic stone mine was located.

Is it to prevent an infinite war of attrition that ceaselessly destroys lives?

Each person had set up a lot of cover and was concentrating only on long-distance checks, as if engaging in trench warfare.

Occasionally, when one or two hunters who came out of cover lost their lives, I became even more cautious.

Then, some attempted to rush into the dungeon without even looking back.

This is because once you enter, you can mine magic stones from the magic stone mine inside. Let’s dig into it and see.

However, he was caught in the many traps built around the entrance.

Puff puff poop!

With the huge explosion, dozens of lives were lost in one go. There was literally no hell.

“It’s really bad.”

I was hoping that there would be a fierce battle of strategy and tactics or an active battle.

In reality, it was a neighborhood dog fight.

Rather than making strategic decisions or concerns, it seemed like they were just blindly rushing in or waiting.

So I took my eyes off the battlefield.

This is because I don’t think I’ll find a situation where I can get inspiration by looking at more. My eyes just rot.

Kang Hu took out his smartphone and looked at videos and distribution materials related to the warlord abyss on Hunter Gram.

This is because it is Abyss that is currently in the greatest conflict with the Purification Guild in Korea.

The person speaking in the video was Lee Hyun-seok.

He always responded and filmed any interviews or videos himself.

This may be because he thought that no matter which spokesperson was appointed as a messenger, he would be worse than himself.

– Contrary to what you may think, the Purification Guild is not a defender of justice and goodwill. They are an abominable axis of evil in disguise.

I nod my head.

However, it is Kang-hoo who understands it from the original author’s perspective.

How did Lee Hyun-seok understand the essence of the purification guild?

This part is not in the original.

The reason is simple; in the original work, Lee Hyun-seok was portrayed as just talking nonsense like a crazy person.

Since this was a novel written from Jang Si-hwan’s perspective, Lee Hyun-seok could not help but be molded as a ‘crazy villain’.

– Satellite guilds hiding the name of the Purification Guild are increasing in various places.

Satellite guilds keep in check and eliminate guilds that are unfriendly or uncooperative with the Purification Guild.

If you click the link below, you can see the evil acts committed by the satellite guild so far.

When I clicked on it, I found out that Lee Hyun-seok was more thoroughly aware of the existence of the satellite guild than Kang-hu thought.

The Haeeohwa Guild to which Han Seo-yeon belongs is also on the list. This is internal information that is rarely known.

At this point, he seemed to know enough about the purification guild to be considered an insider.

– In addition, talented hunters who stand out often mysteriously disappear from the Purification Guild.

They say the disappearance was due to an accident within the dungeon, but isn’t that too strange?

Unless there was a really big accident, it wouldn’t be difficult to retrieve the body.

You can check the list of promising players who joined the Jeonghwa Guild and then disappeared at the following link.

The following content was also full of highly reliable content that properly identified internal information.

This was information that would be difficult not to believe unless it was seen by someone who only unconditionally supported the Purification Guild.

‘The problem is that Lee Hyun-seok is betrayed by his right-hand man and confidant Moon Yoo-seok and dies soon.’

Kang-hu recalled his memories.

Less than a month after this video was distributed, Lee Hyun-seok was assassinated by Moon Yoo-seok.

Of course, in the original work, Moon Yoo-seok was treated as a hero who defeated the crazy villain.

Readers also considered Moon Yoo-seok to be a cider, giving him the nickname of a martyr.

However, looking at the changed situation and position, it is a trend that is directly connected to the dark future of our allies that will be needed in the future.

There is a need to keep Lee Hyun-seok alive for any reason, whether it is for bullet prevention or for aggro use.

‘As soon as I finish the work in Gwangju, I will have to send an email to Lee Hyun-seok or find another way.’

It is not a very urgent problem, but it is also not a problem that can be taken leisurely.

Lee Hyun-seok is essential because he is a player with great value.

Five hours later.

Kanghu entered as soon as the one-month dungeon rental license was allowed.

Since it is a limited-term license, it is best to target as many as possible while possible.

In addition, there was a need to hurry as it was a dungeon that had to be conquered twice due to changes in characteristics.

Characteristic changes.

This is a change that completely changes the dungeon’s internal ecosystem and composition for unknown reasons.

In that case, the middle boss and main boss that were conquered before the entire composition changes will also have a different composition.

In other words, it is a place where Ganghu is scheduled to steal four skills.

Dungeon level is about 110.

Now, regular monsters were no longer a threat to Ganghu.

Rather, did dealing with monsters help in the process of properly warming up?

Kang-hoo, who continued to play solo without any problems, soon faced the middle boss.

The name is Graper.

He is a middle boss who shoots magic bullets and is characterized by carrying a heavy magic gun.

One thing that is unfortunate is that this gun disappears the moment you die, so it cannot be obtained as a trophy.

‘The closer I get, the overwhelmingly advantageous I am, but the further away I am, the overwhelmingly disadvantaged I become.’

Even though it was quite far away, Graper was staring at him clearly.

Perhaps because it was not yet within range, it did not appear to be aiming precisely.

‘What skills will this guy give me?’

Since he only knew the name and characteristics but did not know the skills he possessed, Kanghu let his imagination run wild.

As Gunner-type hunters usually have aiming skills as a basic skill, he would also have such skills.

The ability to enlarge and expand the field of view to narrow the physical distance!

It was one of the essential skill elements for Ganghu, where the process of hitting a target with specificity and precision was important.
