The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 6

Episode 6 Client (3)

* * *

Kang-hu bought the necessary ingredients at the black market near Osan Station.

‘Sebiuro flat meat. Kobold blood. And an anesthetic specifically for monsters. ‘I bought everything.’

I put the materials in an old backpack I bought cheaply at the market and draped it over both shoulders.

The flesh of Sebiuro, a monster that resembles a cow but is so smelly and dry that it is difficult to eat as food.

Here’s the kobold’s blood, which is completely useless for anything, including potion making.

It was not an item for Ganghu.

“Do you have any strange hobbies? “I’m glad I’m selling materials that would otherwise be thrown away, but I feel sorry for selling them.”

Perhaps that was why the seller scratched the back of his head and looked apologetic.

From the seller’s perspective, it was like selling something for money that should have been discarded.

But Ganghu was absolutely necessary.

Only with these materials can you block the ‘variable’ that suddenly appears when you find Kim Mok-hyeon in the dungeon.

“······.”

There was no response to what the seller said.

Silence was a familiar expression of opinion for Kanghu.

It is usually used most often when there is no value in answering.

“Cluck. Seeing as they even bought an anesthetic, it seems like they had another intention. “What kind of woman are you going to write it to?”

“If you use your mouth one more time, I might use it on you. “So you can shut up.”

“······Hi!”

Kang-hoo responded with a clear expression to the seller who was talking to him by tapping him on the shoulder in an unpleasant manner and acting friendly.

Then the seller also took a step back in confusion and kept his mouth shut.

Buuuuk!

I closed the backpack zipper.

Now it’s time to go.

Ganghu quickly moved to the abandoned ruins dungeon.

This open dungeon that does not require a separate license was always crowded with hunters.

As expected, there was a crowd of hunters waiting not only inside the dungeon but also outside the entrance.

“You bastard, is that your seat? “There is no owner in the dungeon in the first place, so where is the owner?”

“If you’re a baseless bastard, just shut up. My cousin is in Eclipse. know?”

“These days, people talk about dogs, cows, and eclipses. “It seems like they accept a bastard like you there, right?”

“It’s not me, it’s my cousin!”

Among them, there were quite a few hunters who were already in a fight.

Everyone stopped and watched the grappling, saying that watching a fight was as fun as watching a firefight.

However, Ganghu went straight into the dungeon without even paying them a glance.

‘also.’

I saw the picture I expected.

Hunters from ‘Osan Guardian’, one of the quite famous gangs, were seen at Osan Station.

They were located at a point about 300 meters away from the entrance of the dungeon.

It seemed like they even set up a border around the area and took turns controlling it.

One hunter approached without thinking and was beaten to death by Osan Guardian’s hunters.

There was a reason for control.

This is because monsters appear so quickly that they cannot be compared to other places.

This is the so-called ‘Foxen’.

“after.”

Ganghu let out a short sigh and put the long sword in his waist.

First of all, I changed my weapon because I thought a short sword would be better suited to attack the monsters I would immediately encounter rather than a long sword.

【Basic dagger for practice】

【Grade: None】

【Strength +1】

Because I still didn’t have enough money, I couldn’t buy even the lowest grade 9 dagger item.

However, Kang-hu thought that the weapon did not matter as long as you got the attack point right.

So I equipped myself with a cheap practice dagger.

Of course, it is also the first weapon you will change to once you earn money.

at that time.

Kiing. Kiingkiing.

A monster that is also a kind of mascot announcing the entrance to the abandoned ruins dungeon has appeared.

【Pinary Claw Rabbit】

A monster rabbit with particularly long and sharp claws, making it a very threatening means of attack.

The monster level was 35, which could not be said to be low.

Especially for a level 10 hunter like Kanghu.

“······.”

Sigh.

Kang-hu, who was looking at the rabbit that was making direct eye contact, naturally cut the tip of the index finger of his left hand with the tip of his sword.

Then, a wound was created where drops of blood dripped at intervals of about one second.

Kiing!

The rabbit’s eyes turned redder than usual when it smelled blood.

The offensive instinct was stimulated.

He was originally very cautious and difficult to approach, but now his personality has changed.

Ka-ching!

All of the rabbit’s claws grew in an instant, and every joint became a threatening weapon.

The characteristic feature of the spiny claw rabbit is ‘acceleration’.

The more time you give him, the more crazy he becomes, so it was better to avoid long-term battles.

Ganghu didn’t move.

It’s so agile that even if you decide to attack it, it will dodge and attack you.

It is a picture that wastes energy unnecessarily. So Kang-hu looked at the flipped picture.

Wow!

That’s what makes the rabbit run first!

Thanks to the stimulation, the rabbit moved as Ganghu thought.

The rabbit began to run, kicking its hind feet vigorously, and lunged towards Ganghu with all its might.

When it reached the peak of the parabola and soon entered the descending phase, it aimed all of its sharp claws at Kang-hu.

Faaah!

Ganghu hid his appearance with activated lateral movement.

I was waiting for this.

This is because lateral movement cannot be used in the air. A target was definitely needed.

Kiing…?

As Ganghu disappeared from sight, the spiny claw rabbit tilted its head. The long ears also fluttered.

But even for a moment.

Pooh wow!

Kieng!

Kang-hu, who hugged the boy from behind as if giving a back hug, stabbed the dagger diagonally under his left chest.

It was an instant death without any further confirmation.

The dagger, which completely avoided the strong pectoralis major muscle and ribs, pierced right through the heart.

【The level has increased to 11. The next basic skill acquisition point is level 20.】

It has been a long time since I gained experience.

When I was in the Cheongmyeong camp, I had a complete supply of experience points that I had never gained even a speck of.

With level 11 just around the corner, the level went up right away, and Kanghu added 1 bonus point to his stamina.

‘If I can manage my congenital mana hypersensitivity well, I don’t really need mana stats.’

For the time being, I plan to only add bonus stats to stamina.

In this way, you can achieve a quick recovery when your physical strength is lost due to overload due to hypersensitivity.

【Middle boss monsters are detected within a 500m radius. This is an automatic warning about threatening entities.]

The reason why Kang-hoo happily responded when he received a request from Lee Ye-rin to track down Kim Mok-hyeon was revealed.

It was the appearance of a monster called a mid-boss monster or middle boss.

It is also a target of skill theft.

‘A guy with a more impatient temperament is easier for me to cook with.’

Kang Hu’s eyes shined coldly.

Looking at its body alone, it is a much more difficult enemy, but looking at its head alone, it is an easy enemy to deal with.

* * *

“What was he doing just now?”

“What?”

“Didn’t you see it? “You just went into hiding against a spiny-claw rabbit and ripped out its heart right from behind?”

“Is that true? “Who are you?”

“He. “That guy is heading towards the Forest of Storms alone.”

At that time, one of Osan Suho’s hunters, who had exactly witnessed Kang Hoo’s ‘one man show’, stuck out his tongue.

They are having fun by taking advantage of Foxgen points first.

They were hunters who all had basic skills, with each level being at least 50.

Considering that Ganghu has just reached level 11, they are hunters of a very high level.

When they were level 11, they couldn’t even think about coming to this dungeon. Because I’m no match for you.

So, the Hunter of Osan Suho, who spoke, naturally saw Ganghu’s level as similar to his own.

“Yes, Daesung. “I saw it too.”

“Did you see it, brother?”

“uh.”

Youngjae Jo, the third-ranked Osan Guardian and a level 65 hunter, nodded at his subordinate’s words.

He had a special class called Berserker and was also a talented person who ended his contract with the Constellation early.

When I have some free time in the dungeon, I often look around, but usually there is nothing to see.

But today was different.

It was a short moment, but the clean movements Kanghu showed clearly remained in everyone’s mind.

The spike claw rabbit’s level is 35.

Even Youngjae Jo couldn’t kill the spiny claw rabbit in one go. This is because an optimized route has not yet been created.

It’s not because I don’t know how to stab a rabbit’s heart. This is because of course he doesn’t give his heart away easily.

However, Ganghu too easily occupied the rabbit’s rear and struck the vital point with minimal movement.

The subordinate said to Jo Young-jae.

“Based on his skills, he must be an assassin class.”

“I guess so. “No one except the assassin class can get such a quick hiding option.”

“But isn’t the stealth skill a basic skill you get at level 200?”

“that’s right. Then I have no idea where that stealth skill came from. “I want it so much.”

He has good skills that hunters of the level required to enter this dungeon cannot have.

That was Youngjae Jo’s idea.

This is inevitable because even if there are assassin connections around, there is no case in which the person has achieved the highest level of proficiency in the skill.

Hunters called Named are now at the level of maximizing their proficiency in one or two basic skills.

Even though it has the title ‘Named’. If you’re a typical hunter, you probably don’t know what’s at the maximum level of proficiency.

The subordinates immediately noticed Jo Young-jae’s interest and each of them fawned while rubbing their palms together.

“Shall we bring it here?”

“If that’s what you want, brother, you’ll catch that guy right away and make him kneel in front of you hahaha!”

“Should I just take off my clothes? Would you like to have some other fun together?”

“done. Anyway, we are eating at this point in front of the entrance. “Let’s see his face one more time when he comes out.”

“Hehe, if I wait anyway, I guess he’ll come to his brother’s arms on his own.”

Jo Young-jae once again caught sight of Kang-hu’s back as he quickly walked away.

It was closer to jealousy rather than admiration or envy for him.

How does he have such skills?

* * *

While heading to the middle boss, I hunted four more rabbits.

Dead monsters do not speak and cannot share information with each other, so they die in the same pattern.

Thanks to you, I reached level 13.

Since Ganghu’s level was low, catching a few relatively high level rabbits was a huge benefit.

“Cluck, click, click.”
