The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 56

Episode 56 Constellation Test (3)

* * *

There are various types of Constellation Tests.

There is also a chase type where you have to avoid battle at all costs and just run to your destination.

On the other hand, there was also a form of melee where the target was crowded into a small space and forced to fight unconditionally.

In other words, it was the constellation mind that wrote the exam questions.

So, when proposing a test to a Constellation that wanted to terminate a contract, I chose something that would be difficult to do.

To put it simply, it is feeding taffy. To die.

Of course, the Dimension Stealer had no malicious intent as interest in Ganghu was growing day by day.

Until now, we have always seen how genius Kang Hu shows off his senses and skills in battle.

That’s why the Dimension Stealer wanted to see Kang Hu’s ‘running away’ talent that he had never seen before.

‘It can’t be this easy.’

Kanghu smiled bitterly when he saw that the route was in the shape of climbing a sloping hill.

Among Hunter’s famous sayings, there is this:

A dungeon that looks easy to everyone is definitely not an easy dungeon. It’s the perfect dungeon to die in.

Ganghu was confident that the constellation test would definitely not be a physical test like climbing a hill.

There will definitely be variables.

It’s definitely not a problem where you just have to defeat the Flagellum that’s chasing you from behind.

【The constellations are making instant bets.】

【It is safe to say that the stakes are all on the option that guarantees the death of Contractor Shin Kang-hu.】

【The Dimensional Stealer believes in the success of Contractor Shin Gang-hu and boldly invests some of his holy power in his survival. 】

【Constellations hostile to the Dimension Stealer laugh at her foolish bet.】

‘Anyway, constellations or humans.’

The love for gambling is the same.

Kang-hu glanced at the status window and saw that the odds ratio for his death was a decimal point close to 1.

“….”

I concentrated as much as I could.

4km to the target point.

The distance narrows quickly.

As I sprinted forward, combining acceleration and leaping, it was easy to shorten the distance.

Accordingly, Flagellum’s movement also became faster.

The guy who didn’t put his feet on the floor in the first place was sliding around like a ghost.

The speed seemed to increase rapidly, as if he had deliberately taken his time until now.

Right then.

‘also.’

The first variable appeared to Kang-hoo, who had been looking at the ground from the beginning.

It was a thorn.

Suddenly, black thorns erupted into the sky from beneath the seemingly flat dirt floor.

It had an eerie shape, like a black ghost bat.

If a person were to be stabbed here, their entire body would be impaled and they would hang dangling to death.

Papat!

He avoided the sudden thorn attack by using a leap in the opposite direction from where Ganghu was running.

Instead, the distance to Flagellum, which was chasing behind, became closer.

However, increasing the possibility of death was relatively less risky than certain death.

【Some constellations ridicule the choice. He says it would have been better to run forward.】

‘What can’t I say with my mouth open?’

Kang Hu smiled bitterly.

At the same time, the shadow walk was performed so that the shadows moved forward as far as possible.

“Kuhhuhuhu!”

The Flagel Room is now getting closer.

Sigh!

He swung his whip at Ganghu without hesitation.

That whip is a whip that should never be blocked. It is a whip that crushes the soul. It is the whip of death.

“Hwacha!”

Ganghu narrowly avoided the attack by flattening his body.

Flagellum’s whip swept across the area where his waist was, as if trying to minimize variables.

It was the most difficult position where you would inevitably get hit if you dodged it clumsily.

【Leap】

【Grave Decapitation】

Ahhh!

“Kwaaah!”

Next, Ganghu, who had been lowering his body, jumped forward in a prone position and cut Flagellum’s ankle.

The goal was success.

Flagellum, who believed in himself as immortal, did not expect Ganghu’s counterattack at all.

‘it’s okay.’

At that moment, Ganghu changed his position with the shadow.

Then the distance from Flagellum increased dramatically.

This is because he succeeded in changing his body and position at the maximum distance allowed by Shadow Walk.

【Many constellations cheer! I applaud your counterattack and post-target plan.】

【The Dimensional Stealer emphasizes to his contractor that such cleverness is just the tip of the iceberg.】 Just as Ganghu

‘s tension is about to ease at the Dimensional Stealer’s arm-raising reaction. .

Kieeeeek!

The devil, all in black, appeared from the front, where nothing had been seen until just now.

He was holding a huge scythe that was more than 3 meters long, and it flew straight at Kang-hu’s waist.

[Quick dodge]

This time I dodged in a different way.

This is because the devil’s attack was vertical, not horizontal. This could be avoided by changing location.

“Whoa.”

A hot breath burst out spontaneously.

The attack that created variables was so excellent that even Kanghu had to move instinctively and sensuously.

Constellation tests are designed directly by the Constellation that has a contractor. In other words, it is the work of a dimension stealer.

‘If I had become a game developer, I would have become a notorious person.’

Kanghu smiled and started running again.

Although the crisis was cleverly avoided, the Constellation test is still ongoing.

3km, 2km, 1km, 500m….

Thanks to running and running with all his might, Flagellum was able to catch up with Ganghu by about 9m, which was the maximum.

Several unexpected situations occurred, but I avoided them by cleverly using quick dodge and jumping protection barriers.

【The Dimension Stealer applauds as he looks at the clean body of the contractor without even a single drop of blood.】 【

Even the hostile constellations are looking at your clever response differently than they did at first.】

Everything was going well.

When I first started, the distance of 5km was a bit daunting, but narrowing the distance to 500m was no problem.

Despite Flagellum’s persistent pursuit, Ganghu arrived at his destination and was able to press the ‘arrival’ button.

Is it the end?

‘It can’t be this dull…’

Kang-hoo thought that it probably wouldn’t happen, but secretly hoped it would be the end. But expectations were immediately dashed.

【The current space of 25 meters by 25 meters is transformed into a limited battlefield.】

【The invincible defense barrier that made up Flagellum’s entire body begins to disappear.】 【Eliminate

Flagellum.】

‘What a mischievous goddess you are.’

Kanghu burst into laughter.

After all, nothing is free?

The fugitive and the pursuer were only the first tests, and the second test of life and death remained.

“If you criticize, you criticize.”

Ganghu rushed straight towards Flagellum without any hesitation.

Now that invincibility is gone, it will be time for him to fear death as well.

* * *

Not long after entering the battle, Ganghu discovered Flagellum’s most fatal weakness.

Due to the nature of the weapon called a whip, there is time for it to fold and unfold before hitting the target.

This is the time when kinetic energy starting from the shoulder is transmitted through the elbow and hand to the tip of the whip.

Of course, Flagellum’s skillful movements minimized that time and made it look like it had disappeared.

Clearly, there was a gap in time.

So, we bided our time by giving and receiving a moderate amount of attack and defense.

This is because once a target is discovered, it is difficult to use the same method again.

It was like seeing some kind of liver, but Flagellum didn’t even know that and excitedly launched a barrage of attacks at Ganghu.

Since it was a fight between daggers and whips, it wasn’t easy to defend, so I felt at ease because all I had to do was avoid it.

Moreover, unlike other weapons that allow repeated attacks.

Although the whip can deliver powerful blows, it has many difficulties in terms of continuous attacks.

From Ganghu’s perspective, it was easy to control the tempo. Of course, I didn’t express that to Flagellum.

Flagellum’s level displayed in the status window was 165. Compared to Ganghu, this figure is three times higher.

But it was worth it.

Is it because they have previously competed against highly skilled players like Cha So-hee?

Flagellum felt like it was completely backward compatible. Moreover, the limitations of the whip as a weapon were clear.

at last.

“Ugh…!”

Flagellum, who was unable to repel Ganghu’s advances that had burrowed deep into his arms, was left with a hole in his chest.

The dagger inserted while steadily linking up to the decapitation took Flagellum’s life in one blow.

【The ‘Warm Waves’, a gathering of gentle constellations, highly praise your simple test.】 【

All the constellations of the ‘Warm Waves’ show great interest in you.】

【By consuming the accumulated Holy Power, you will receive a considerable amount of damage. I support the buff.】

【Experience increase +15%】

‘You’re crazy.’

There was significant support.

A constellation group called Warm Waves gave him great support.

The meaning was very big.

The fact that constellations with strong personal tendencies form a group means that they are well-aligned.

In other words, if we can achieve more appeal in the future, a group contract may be concluded.

For example, a contract could be made with all the constellations belonging to the Warm Wave.

It is not an impossible task; in fact, the main character Jang Si-hwan also significantly increased the number of constellations he has contracted in this way.

【Two constellations who had bet considerable sacred power on the death of contractor Shin Kang-hu died from shock.】 【The

‘Great Crusade’, which coordinates all orders of the constellations, quickly revoked the status of the two constellations.】

Assuming that they are dead constellations.

The appearance of Daeseongjeon was unexpected.

This is because it is also the embodiment of unconsciousness that was not present in the original work.

Of course, I always thought that there would be a governing body that would manage this many constellations.

I didn’t incorporate it into the content, but of course I was reminded of its existence.

‘Great Holy War. ‘I have a feeling.’

What can I say?

Does it feel like the scale of the future we have to face is getting much bigger?

I also thought that perhaps an area beyond the constellations might appear.

A world beyond the constellations of constellations. Obviously, that world was always in my head.

【Constellations’ interest in Contractor Shin Gang-hu begins to grow rapidly.】 【

The solidarity between the Constellations that take pride in sponsoring contracts with Contractor Shin Gang-hu becomes stronger.】 【

The status of the main constellation, Dimensional Stealer, soars. Interest in her increases.】

‘Virtuous cycle.’

Kanghu smiled.

The Constellation’s interest is always more is better.

And the interest and status of your main constellation increases? That too is unconditionally beneficial.

It seemed like his debut in front of the constellations was very successful.

Meanwhile, looking at the sponsorship messages that Kang-hoo had missed, they were all filled with experience point assistance.

The experience increase buff has been increased by an additional 15%. It was a perfect situation to gather dust and create Mount Taesan.

But right then.

【Are you planning on taking this test one more time with this momentum? I want to give you the opportunity to enjoy the fifth privilege I can give you.】

The Dimensional Stealer made a proposal that far exceeded expectations.

It was a proposal for not one, but two Constellation exams.

As for the constellation’s perks, the 3rd and 4th perks are different, and the 4th and 5th perks are also different.

If you can obtain the fifth perk, it will help you increase your power overwhelmingly.

“I can’t stand that, Cole.”

Kanghu’s answer was clear.
