The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 60
Episode 60: Hydraulic mining (2)
I turned my attention to where I heard the sound, and there was a hunter in a 5-story structure that was quite difficult to access.
He slightly sticks his gun out from the railing of what appears to be an under-construction building and aims for the other side.
Since the dungeon concept itself is an ‘abandoned mining city’, it was no surprise that there were abandoned buildings.
“hey! “Don’t be scared and start mining!”
“Stop talking like that and go up there yourself! Does mining work? “I’m sniping right away!”
“You stuffy bastard! I’m going! Liver….”
Taang!
“…!”
A hunter who was climbing a small stone mountain along a spiral path died unexpectedly.
The magic bullet that pierced the temple accurately sent the hunter to the underworld.
Even though the distance was not that close, the sniping accuracy was surprisingly high.
【True Aim】
Kanghu zooms in on the image of the hunter sniping at the hunters on the other side with True Aim.
Then I saw a woman.
In the enlarged view, she had already turned the gun on herself and was about to pull the trigger.
“…?”
【Quick Evasion】
Ganghu used the skill right away.
At the same time, she fired three shots in Ganghu’s direction.
The place she was aiming at was not where Ganghu was.
I shot at a point about 5 meters away.
Three shots hit the same spot.
‘Warning shot.’
The meaning was clearly understood.
The corners of her mouth were slightly twitching, as if she was surprised by Kang-hu’s instinctive avoidance.
I aimed near Kang-hu’s feet with the intention of scaring him more, but in an instant, Kang-hu made an evasive maneuver.
She was wearing special goggles for her eyes. The thing with a red glow seemed to be an item.
“hmm.”
At that moment, Ganghu targeted a small rock next to him and moved laterally, hiding himself.
If I went to the nearby stone mountain, I was likely to fall victim to her persistent sniping.
They were probably engaged in combat with the hunters who had occupied Dolsan Mountain, but it appeared to be an ambiguous stalemate.
The hunters are also watching her for fear that they might get close to her and end up with a hole in her head.
She too had settled down, but couldn’t seem to find the time to get out.
They are engaged in a kind of battle of wits with each other.
In this case, the deadlock can last for quite some time.
‘What breaks the balance is the appearance of reinforcements.’
turned to her.
She was seen diligently searching for Kang-hu, who had disappeared from sight, but could not pinpoint his location.
【Muyoung】
By using the Muyoung skill, I almost completely eliminated any traces of presence.
At this point, her plan to track Kang-hu’s location by maximizing all of her senses also came to nothing.
in between.
Kang-hu quietly entered the building entrance and immediately stood next to the railing on the fifth floor where she was.
And next to her, who was constantly looking around, she opened her mouth in a low voice.
“What do you need?”
“ah…!”
She was startled by the sudden voice of Kang Hu.
I think I just saw it disappear, but before I knew it, it had climbed up the building and approached the side.
If Kang-hu had even the slightest intention of killing himself, he would have already died.
“I wonder if you need a sleeping stone or if you want to fight with those guys.”
“Who are you?”
“me? “The person who came to dig up sleeping stones.”
Ganghu pointed to the stone mountain.
If you can mine the pyrostone here, there is no need to go deep into the Latheus Dungeon.
Anyway, there will be hunters who have already secured a spot there.
If we are going to suffer equally, it is much better to have a support group here.
she answered.
“I need a sleeping chair.”
“good. Then the goals are aligned. “How much do you need?”
“500g.”
“It’s a reasonable amount. Then, I will mine up to your porcelain stone, so how about joining forces?”
“Is this going to take a long time?”
“Because that’s my situation, all you have to do is tell me if you can help. “Don’t worry too much.”
Ganghu laughed.
Hunters need a large amount of mana to mine asyrite.
It was like that when mining magic stones at the Cheongmyeong concentration camp.
The reason Ganghu was often taken to the mine was because mining efficiency was high due to the large amount of mana used.
Of course, they did not know that Ganghu had an easy supply of mana due to congenital mana hypersensitivity.
In any case, since mana usage was not a concern, all that Ganghu needed to do was be able to reach the top of the stone mountain.
“Is it possible.”
“Then let’s be a team for a moment. call?”
“call.”
Strategic cooperation was achieved.
she asked back.
“What’s your name? My name is Ban Se-young. “I’m twenty-four.”
“Jeong Seon-gyu. Twenty-nine.”
Ganghu naturally gave a pseudonym. The same goes for Ban Se-young. It may not be your real name.
“Then I’ll call you Seongyu oppa.”
“I don’t think there will be any need to call. Anyway, please give me a route. “Let’s focus on direct fire, not cover.”
“okay.”
Faaah!
As Kang-hoo disappeared from sight, Ban Se-young expanded his senses again.
However, it was still not possible to specify Ganghu’s location and movement route.
It felt like it wasn’t just about hiding, but also adding the skill of erasing presence.
The world is wide and there are many skilled hunters, but I thought that an assassin like this would be no easy task.
Without even knowing it, he thought it was a warning shot and fired three magic bullets at his feet…. My
heart sank as I thought that if Kang-hu had hostile thoughts towards me, he would have been in the underworld by now.
* * *
After a while.
“What is this guy?”
“Who are you?”
When Ganghu appeared in front of the stone mountain, the hunters were startled and took an attack stance.
The number of people, as far as the eye can see, is ten.
There was no one that showed constellation information.
They’re probably around level 100.
There were a total of three constellation information on Ban Se-young that I had briefly scanned earlier.
As a rough guess, we can infer that Ban Se-young’s level is over 200.
The reason she was unable to gain the upper hand against low-level hunters was probably due to her fatal weakness.
‘The biggest dilemma of all gunners is that they are not good at close combat. ‘If you just dig one well, you’ll be ruined.’
This is also an inherent limitation of gunners, who must carry longer and longer guns in order to achieve high firepower.
She was holding a gun with a fairly long barrel. This is rat poison for hunters who are determined and stick to it.
Ganghu raised both arms while holding the bloodstream backwards and spoke as ‘politely’ as possible.
“Guys. I’ll just dig up two chunks of peach stone and go. “Can we take a break somewhere for a moment?”
“What about this god X?”
“Does our Kalbaram look like Bingdari hot pants, you wanderer?”
“Ah, the name of your gang is Kalbaram. That’s a good name. So much so that I want to send it to the abyss.”
“Right now I’m being put in a joke that doesn’t work anywhere.”
The Sharp Wind gang roared.
In the meantime, everyone was talking enthusiastically behind the iron barrier, probably because they were worried about Ban Se-young’s sniping.
‘These guys have no taste.’
There was a disappointing aftertaste as no hunters had signed a contract with the Constellation, but now was the time to focus on the purpose.
Ganghu was actually more worried about the traps set up all over the stone mountain than the hunters guarding this place.
If a skilled technician sets a trap, access may be difficult even if all hunters are cleared.
“I was already annoyed by that bitch, so it worked out well. Hey, get rid of this bastard first!”
The captain’s order was given.
It was a strategic decision that even Ban Se-young would not be able to provide covering fire easily if they fought together.
Obviously, it was a very reasonable and correct idea from the captain’s point of view. The picture was good.
However, there was just one problem…. The opponent was a strong fighter who preferred close combat.
“I am welcome.”
Kang Hu welcomed the breakdown of negotiations with a happy expression.
* * *
As soon as the battle begins.
“Hmm…”
Ban Se-young, who had his index finger on the trigger, opened his finger and popped his head out.
It occurred to me that there was no need to provide support fire to clear the path of movement.
Although Ganghu was clearly surrounded by a gang of ten fierce men, he did not feel inferior at all.
Rather, it was stable.
Starting with those who got close, they inflicted wounds on their bodies one by one, stabbing only the parts necessary for battle as if dismembering them.
Yes, it was a joke.
To the extent that this statement is appropriate, Ganghu did not allow even a single effective hit to the Sharp Wind gang.
The gang deployed to Dolsan Mountain were quite agile.
Due to the rapid movement, there were few victims even in Ban Se-young’s sniping that continued for quite a long time.
So, in fact, I thought there was a very high possibility that Kanghu would also struggle.
But it was unlucky.
Every time I blinked, Ganghu’s position continued to change dramatically.
If we were to confidently use the modifier ‘flashing in the east’ and ‘flashing in the west’, we could say that this is the current situation.
In particular, when he performed the illusion technique and shadow walk at the same time, even Ban Se-young let out an exclamation.
I had no idea what kind of silhouette I should follow to find the real Ganghu.
My heart felt cold again.
Isn’t this a situation where you recognized this person as an enemy and fired a warning shot?
Even so, I thought that heaven had helped me because my life was safe.
“Kaaaaaa! “Ahh!”
“leg! “My legs…!”
At the entrance to the stone mountain, all members of the Sharp Wind gang who fought against Ganghu screamed in pain.
There wasn’t a single sane guy.
The battlefield has already been sorted out.
It was a perfect clear with no room to add even a single magical bullet.
Right then.
widely!
Kanghu snapped his fingers and showed off a finish that concluded the situation.
bloodshot.
In the area of the explosion, all members of the Razor Wind gang were located in harmony.
Puff puff poop! Puff! pop!
“It’s crazy.”
Ban Se-young could see clearly.
A flower of blood blooms beautifully in the air from the wounded body of the Sharp Wind gang.
Blood Flower had the cruelest yet most beautiful effect of any skill she had ever seen.
Of course, it will be an express train to hell for the victim.
“What are you doing as a hunter?”
Ban Se-young looked at Kang-hoo again.
The situation was already settled and I was very curious about who he was.
I thought I was quite knowledgeable about hunters, but I knew nothing about Ganghu.
An ‘assassin’ who starts with clean and perfect hiding and also has stylish skills such as bloodshot.
An assassin with versatile abilities would have made a name for himself at least once somewhere.
The name and face of Jeong Seon-gyu were very unfamiliar to her.
However, the depth and completeness of his skills were so high that he could not be said to be a rookie who suddenly appeared.
He is a ‘made’ talented person. This is not a ‘lucky’ talent that suddenly fell from the sky.
Is that why?
gulp-.
As she watched him, she swallowed dryly without stopping.
