The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 72

Episode 72: Limitless Mana Dungeon (2)

* * *

“Me. “It’s ridiculous.”

“What happened captain?”

“There is a hunter who went in here. “While I was taking my time, I paid a lot of mana and went in.”

“How…did you get in?”

“How do I get in? “I poured all my mana into it and went in.”

“Is that possible?”

“Do you want to play with me?”

“…sorry!”

Kang Dong-hyun, who gathered useful combat personnel from inside and outside Hades, placed a hunter at the entrance to the dungeon.

When the inside of a closed dungeon is completed, the exit opens in two ways.

Either a new exit opens, or the existing entrance becomes an exit and you end up in the same place.

Since the probability is 50/50, the forces were deployed just in case.

And in case the attack fails, you have to return to the entrance you entered…

It was a meaningful power distribution in a way.

A variety of hunters were deployed.

As well as the melee series that can handle various weapons and the ranged series that have various check attack options.

Hunters skilled in space movement and acceleration were also deployed. It was a combination that had everything except what was missing.

“Can you tell me who the guy who went in was?”

Everyone seemed curious about the presence of the uninvited guest.

This is because, even within Eclipse, no hunter has entered the Limitless Mana Dungeon.

Even more so, if he could confidently enter this dungeon that even Kang Dong-hyun couldn’t enter, how great would he be?

“You guys don’t know even if I tell you. When it comes out later, catch it and find out its name. “If you find out, I’ll give you a reward.”

Kang Dong-hyun smiled and put a piece of tobacco in his mouth.

From now on, it is a battle of waiting.

It’s been a long time since I’ve waited patiently for someone, but for now, the only answer is to wait.

As a test, Kang Dong-hyun continuously poured mana into the dungeon entrance.

However, even though I assisted by drinking potions, I could not get the ‘entrance ticket’ required by the dungeon.

I’m sorry.

Kang Dong-hyun sat down on a chair in front of the entrance and was lost in thought.

First of all, a siege net was clearly set up to capture Kang Hu alive as soon as he came out.

Unless you suddenly have the ability to teleport, you won’t be able to escape Hades.

In that case, let’s say Kang Hu’s capture is certain.

How should I follow up if I catch him?

‘It’s true that he’s too proud to control it with his right mind. It’s not easy to tame a guy like this.’

I wish I could be guided by my heart and become my own limb, but that is not that easy.

Among the henchmen who were immediately called hounds, were there one or two who changed their minds and tried to betray him?

Moreover, there is no way that Kang-hu, who was put on wrongly from the beginning, will obey him obediently.

‘tracker.’

Then there is only one way.

A good example would be the tracker, which is both an element of Eclipse’s pride(?) and fear.

The mechanism of the tracer, a human weapon that controls and operates through drugs, can control Ganghu.

There is no need to use them as combat personnel.

With that level of mana utilization ability, just throwing it into a magic stone mine would replace the value of countless recipients.

“what the. “I’ve never had a woman wait this long before, but it looks like she’s waiting for something that’s not even possible.”

As if Kang Dong-hyun couldn’t easily soothe his bitter stomach, he took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth.

I heard snickering laughter coming from all over the place at the joke I made.

“To the one who laughed first. “I have you stand in a horseback position until the special wait is over.”

It was Kang Dong-hyun who even played practical jokes for no reason.

* * *

About 10 minutes later.

Kuehhh!

Ad stuck out his tongue and collapsed in front of Kanghu with his eyes wide open. My breath stopped.

“I never thought I would use so much stamina just to deal with this guy. “The level of the dungeon is very high.”

Kanghu nervously wiped away the thick beads of sweat that were flowing down his forehead. Because it took longer than expected.

The battle with Kang Dong-hyun earlier may have been helpful, but he didn’t suffer.

However, I felt that it was definitely not easy, and my desire for growth naturally increased accordingly.

Perhaps this craving would disappear only when I reached the point where there was nothing more to climb.

In terms of level, I guess it’s 999? It’s a distant future. Of course, it is also a wish that I really want to achieve.

The level is now 88.

The steadily accumulated experience buff felt like a greater increase in experience points like this dungeon.

“There are also two red stones. “If you do this, you can now convert skills that require 2 red stones as an upgrade condition.”

The red stone I got from Ad was reassuring.

The possibilities for using ruby stones are so endless that it is meaningless to calculate their cash value.

“There’s a skill there.”

What made Ganghu most satisfied was the skill he stole from Ad.

There were several candidates, but I chose the most efficient skill among them.

【Frantic Healing】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv Max】

【Recovers by replacing 1 mana with 1 stamina while stationary. Ultra-fast recovery is possible.】

It was a skill that allowed virtually infinite physical recovery when consuming Mad Solarium.

There is a premise that it is in a stopped state, but that is something that just needs to stop for a while.

Or, you can stand quietly in stealth mode and recover your stamina.

“At least there won’t be healer in my dictionary anymore. “It is capable of self-recovery.”

You don’t have to look far to find an example of what it means to eat everything by yourself.

Because Kang-hu himself proves that statement.

It is safe to say that it is deceptive for an assassin, whose weakness is low defense, to be equipped with a self-healing skill.

“then. “Let’s try to speed up a bit more.”

Now that you’ve gotten over the fairly difficult middle boss hill, it’s time to find another monster that can become a punching bag.

I hurried my steps again.

It wouldn’t be surprising if Kang Dong-hyun or his gang showed up behind him at any time.

If you don’t want to give even one of them to them, you have to be diligent in drying out the seeds of the monsters while moving forward.

It was solid.

Walk quickly.

Relax your mind.

We dealt with the monsters sequentially. They were dealt with one by one, leading to a one-on-one structure.

Thanks to the fact that I killed not a single small monster, my level rose all the way to 91.

Considering that it is usually difficult to raise level 2 even if you monopolize one dungeon.

The benefits that Kanghu saw after entering the Limitless Dungeon were not the same as drinking honey, but were similar to dipping into a bucket of honey.

There was good news not only at the level.

We collected a large number of solariums from a solarium habitat we discovered by chance and increased our holdings to 30.

Since the regular solarium can be used for a variety of purposes at any time, there was enough spare capacity.

Additionally, one more middle boss was killed.

The name is King Slime.

It was so good that it could be said to be a middle boss or a bonus monster.

This is because there was no attack ability in the first place.

As if it wasn’t enough for him to give me a one-sided welcome by making noises, he rewarded me generously.

That’s how the number of stones became three.

There was even an item drop, adding one more talisman item.

【Soft Talisman】

【Grade: None】

【Emergency Use: You can use the skill once without consuming any mana. 1 hour cooldown.】

It was a useful amulet.

What if you need to use a skill that consumes a large amount of mana in a situation where mana recovery is slow?

All you have to do is use the ‘Emergency Use’ option on the soft amulet. It is perfect for insurance purposes.

Just one thing.

No matter how hard I tried to get used to it, the name of the skill I stole from King Slime, which was difficult to get used to, kept coming to my mind.

It’s a shame that all you have to do is check yourself, but it would be embarrassing if there was an issue where you had to shout out the name of the skill.

【Cute!】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv Max】

【Summons a medium-sized slime about 3m wide and 2m high. It has no attack ability.】

“Hmm…”

It was a skill I didn’t want to mention to anyone, mentioning the skill name directly.

However, contrary to the name, the skill itself was useful in times of emergency.

The slime was quite bulky and its color was opaque, so it could be used as an obstacle.

On the one hand, it had the potential to be used as a shield to defend against difficult attacks coming from a distance.

“If I hadn’t intercepted it, I think I would have regretted it forever.”

Even though it was too much effort, it was worth it.

There is no lack of compensation for any of the robbery skill experience points and gemstone items.

When I thought that all these things would have gone to Kang Dong-hyun or his associates…

I definitely felt sick to my stomach.

Growing on one’s own is good, but stealing the ‘villain’s’ profits as a growth engine is even more satisfying.

Because the difference between the stone and the item that was not obtained here today may come back as a dagger in the future.

It had been half a day since Ganghu entered the Limitless Mana Dungeon when he successfully conquered the boss monster.

The final level achieved was 94.

With this alone, level 100, which is said to be the second golden age of a hunter’s life, is just around the corner.

In addition, the boss monster dropped as many as two gemstones, and thanks to this, the remaining gemstones increased to five.

Considering that there are more than 90% of hunters who cannot even see the ruins themselves in their lifetime, this is a huge success.

Additionally, the passive skill stolen from the boss monster permanently increased Ganghu’s stamina.

【Enlightenment – Blood】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv Max】

【Permanently increases your stamina by 100.】

The passive skill ‘Enlightenment’ can also increase mana depending on your choice.

However, as a strongman who had previously obtained the Age of Savagery skill book, there was absolutely no reason to increase mana.

【Skill Book – Age of Savagery】

【Special Note: Berserker only】

【If the learner’s mana stat is less than 50, the mana usage value of all skills is reduced by 50%.】

In that case.

This is because as the mana stat exceeds 50, the skill book becomes useless.

Because he is a powerhouse with so many skills and diversity, stat distribution also required in-depth calculations.

This is Kang-hoo’s special concern that no one else has to worry about.

“Let’s think carefully about how to use the five red stones to upgrade.”

Depending on which skill you upgrade and how, its application in battle will be completely different.

There are many options that come to mind, but the problem is that there are too many. It is not a problem to worry about impulsively.

“Then… take a deep breath.”

Kanghu adjusted his breathing.

If you go through the exit, you may find yourself in an unexpected place, or you may come out the same way you entered.

In the latter case, Kang Dong-hyun would definitely be there.

Of course, you can’t be alone; there will be a lot of subordinates waiting for you.

If you hesitate for even 0.5 seconds, you could become a beehive inside and die or become trapped.

【Self-Defense – Stage 2】

【Protective Barrier】

After Ganghu finished the preliminary settings.

Sigh.

I stepped toward the exit.

Next moment.

“It’s out! catch!”

“Tie it up!”

“Block off the activity area!”

As expected, it happened.
