The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 57

Episode 57 Constellation Test (4)

* * *

The second Constellation Test immediately followed.

Kang-hu thought that if he was going to do it anyway, it would be better to do it a day sooner, so he didn’t avoid it.

Perhaps because the second test was conducted immediately, the number of watching constellations increased by 50% compared to before.

‘The board has grown properly.’

Of course, the more constellations there are to watch, the better.

Even if you can save just one or two of them, it will definitely be beneficial.

【Eliminate the monster ‘Dinato’.】

“Hmm?”

Unlike the first constellation test that I had previously attempted, the instructions for the second constellation test were too simple.

What kind of guy is Dinato the Monster, and why is the message so brief?

At that moment, Kanghu was able to see a colorful, brilliant silhouette appearing in the empty air.

It was not a humanoid like the Flagellum we had faced earlier.

It was a very large monster, easily larger than the 15th floor of an apartment building.

“….”

The corner of Ganghu’s mouth curled.

I thought the Dimension Stealer would give tough missions, but I never thought it would create variables like this.

Dealing with a very large monster was completely different from the battles Ganghu had done so far.

In particular, in the world of assassins, very close combat is essential, but the larger the fighter, the more burdensome it is to approach.

If you are unlucky, you could get crushed to death. The term “crushing death” is no longer unfamiliar.

‘Considering how to conquer the Hell of Judgment, it’s also a necessary practice at least once.’

I decided to think positively.

There is a major issue taking place under the leadership of the Jeonghwa Guild in the near future.

Defeat the Hell of Judgment.

It is a large-scale raid with as many as 1,000 participants and is the only one where mercenaries are sought from outside.

In line with the concept of a very large dungeon, there are many middle bosses and many secret terrains inside.

When you go there, guys like Dinato come out like they’re eating. There is no harm in experiencing it in advance.

Of course, the only problem is that this is not just practice, but a life-threatening constellation test.

【The fourth privilege to be paid by me, the contractor, will not be linked until this test is completed.】

“Are you trying to make me angry on purpose?”

【Hehe. This means don’t panic. This is because it is not possible to pay in advance.】

“How cruel.”

Kang Hu grabbed the bloodstream backwards. The way to deal with this monster is surprisingly simple.

Avoid useless exploration and ‘climb’ its body by aiming for the head.

Even if you plunge a dagger into a thick ankle or thigh body, it is of no use.

A blow that would be fatal to a humanoid would amount to a light scratch to a monster.

So you have to aim for the head that acts as the main control tower.

No matter how much a monster has steel-like skin, the brain inside it is not as strong.

Kaduk!

Chewed Mad Solakium.

There are 3 left in stock.

I’ve already eaten half of the six I got from Ground Zero.

It’s hard to find, but it’s hard to use.

However, the effects of Mad Solarchium are so certain that they cannot be compared to regular Solarchium.

Ganghu decided to take advantage of his strategic advantage.

That’s why I bought Mad Solarchium to use it in times like this.

Gooooo!

Dinato, who discovered Ganghu, began to move his house-sized feet.

There was no time to think about anything else because the feet were so wide and heavy that they seemed to cover the entire sky.

counterattack? It’s a ridiculous choice.

It had to be avoided at all costs.

Who would think of stopping or hitting a car falling from the sky?

Dinato’s feet were exactly like that.

Phew!

Kang-hu leaped backwards, widening the distance, then launched himself forward again and took the first position.

The dagger was inserted into Dinato’s calf.

From now on, it was necessary to climb Dinato’s body step by step, as if climbing a rock wall.

The problem is that he is not stupid.

Dinato, who saw Ganghu in an awkward position, started moving the other foot first.

I tried to remove the ganghu with my opposite toe, as if I was trying to scratch an itch.

“shit.”

Ganghu retrieved the dagger that had been inserted into Dinato’s calf and slid his body diagonally.

The intention was to retreat strategically rather than forcefully go up.

【The constellation ‘Wilderness Strategist’ nods at your careful evasion decision.】 【

Some constellations continue to evaluate your strategic decision-making skills as being quite fast and excellent.】 I do

n’t think it was a particularly great performance, but the constellations Their response was good.

‘There’s no reason to be pressed for time anyway.’

A sudden thought occurred to Ganghu and changed the direction of his thinking regarding the Constellation Test.

If you are confident enough that you will not face a major crisis in the process of killing Dinato.

I thought it would be a good idea to deal with him while mixing up the appropriate direction.

It is truly rare to have the opportunity to show one’s entire self in front of so many constellations.

No, it is safe to say that it is a special situation given only during the Constellation Exam.

Otherwise, most constellations only look at areas that interest them.

There are not just one or two hunters in the world, so it is impossible for all the constellations’ attention to be focused on Ganghu.

So, at this very moment, I thought it would be a good idea to add a more dramatic device and direction.

It’s a constellation test where if you make a mistake, you could lose your life, but perhaps that’s why I became more bold in my thinking.

‘okay. ‘Obviously he’s crazy.’

A burst of laughter broke out.

I also thought that it might be a side effect of Mad Solarchium.

It’s funny to imagine that my mind has calmed down so much that I’ve now reached the point where I’ve lost my fear.

Since the path to climb became clear anyway, all I had to do was avoid Dinato’s checks.

And the first check using the opposite foot was slower than Kang-hoo expected.

Phew!

Inject the blood clot into Dinato’s body again.

“Whoa.”

After taking a deep breath.

I started climbing up his body again.

2 steps forward, 1 step back.

It was the beauty of waiting that should never be forgotten in order to climb up to the guy’s head.

* * *

In between.

Ganghu skillfully responded to unexpected variables that appeared in the process of climbing Dinato’s body.

For example, there was a parasite that suddenly appeared as it passed around Dinato’s groin area.

It was like a small monster that lived inside the body of a monster, but it was a centipede the size of a person.

Of course, since Jeon Gwangbi also has a long-distance strike skill, there was no problem in responding.

A long-distance response that would have been impossible with a normal assassination system.

However, there was no need to take an unreasonable approach because it was an option that Kang Hu could fully utilize.

Kanghu quickly blocks variables in this way.

Sometimes, in order to intentionally create a crisis, we take a ‘pause’ and then respond.

He quickly heightened the interest and tension of the constellations watching him.

In any case, what most Constellations were watching and providing as support was an extremely small amount of sacred power.

To them, it was a donation of holy power in the form of a small amount of money, but from the perspective of the recipient, it was different.

By collecting and collecting a kind of ‘small sponsorship’, a buff was created on a larger scale than expected.

In the second test, the experience bonus gained through sponsorship reached a whopping 55%.

The experience bonus is not very noticeable if you only look at the moment.

However, once enough time has passed and accumulated, you will feel the biggest change of all.

This is because the growth speed of a hunter with no experience buff at all and a hunter with a 100% buff is different.

If you look at it in units of 1 to 2 days, it is an extremely small gap, but if you look at it in units of 1 to 2 years, it becomes an absurd difference.

‘Please continue to support me. ‘Where are you going to save up your change and spend it anyway?’

Ganghu, who was clearly confident, showed various performances and continued to climb Dinato’s body.

He pretended to be in danger and tried to stay away and narrowly avoided Dinato’s attack.

Although the whole situation seemed like a narrow difference, Kang-hoo enjoyed enough leisure in it.

【The constellation ‘Wilderness Strategist’ consumes a large amount of holy power to provide a significant amount of buffs.】

【Experience increase +15%】

‘Good.’

And as I watched the experience buffs constantly accumulating, I felt supremely satisfied.

The constellation, which started sponsoring with the determination of a strategist in the wilderness, gave a heavy buff as a gift.

The total experience bonus accumulated gradually was +150%.

When a hunter without a bonus kills the same monster and gains 10 experience points.

Ganghu was able to get a whopping 25.

For a powerhouse that specialized in monopolizing, the buff value was more than 150%.

in between.

Kuhu. Kuhu. Kuhu.

Kanghu had already arrived at the location where Dinato’s uvula was.

Huh! Huh!

Two hands flew towards Ganghu, but he was able to easily evade backwards by moving laterally.

‘I think I can easily deal with a monster with a concept just like this guy.’

A separate estimate was also established.

They say that any monster that does not have a fast mobility structure can be defeated with its own strength.

However, even if the movement and response level were improved by even 20%, it would have been quite difficult.

All of this was thanks to Kanghu’s acceleration skills.

This is because you can achieve maximum speed by pushing your body to the extreme when necessary.

Kang-hu was confident that if there had been no acceleration, the weapon would have been disarmed long ago.

Right then.

Paaaat!

Ganghu’s body, which started a powerful leap from the edge of the uvula, disappeared from sight in an instant.

This is because he flew straight into Dinato’s nostrils without hesitation.

From this point on, complete hell began for Dinato.

Although it is an infinitely dirty space, it is inevitably very vulnerable.

Ganghu mercilessly sliced Dinato’s nose and tore out his eyeballs.

Furthermore, they cut off all the nerves and ripped out the brain, which was as soft as tofu.

Even if it was a very large monster, it didn’t have the talent to survive in a situation where its mind was completely confused.

Wow…

Dinato, who had been a ‘plaything’ for the constellations to support the constellations, died.

Contrary to the expectations of the Dimension Stealer who thought it would struggle against the monster.

Ganghu overcame the monster too easily by using a combination of his numerous skills.

【That’s pretty cool.】

The dimension stealer’s short and powerful message was delivered.

Although it may seem like an insignificant expression, I fully knew that it was a significant compliment and recognition to her.

“It’s about this much.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

If I thought I would fail this test, I wouldn’t have tried it in the first place.

I was confident from the beginning.

I just wasn’t 100% sure. 99.9% certainty cannot be said to be perfect.

【When we did a preliminary test in advance, the survival rate of this test was 15%. Nevertheless, you did it.】

The moment I heard the words of the dimension stealer that followed.

“…?”

Kanghu tilted his head.

Even so, did you give yourself a test that was calculated to result in death in all likelihood?

I always thought it was mischievous!

I didn’t know it would be this harsh.

I’m sure that isn’t a joke.

Dimension Stealer.

Could it be…that you were planning to kill me?
