The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 75

Episode 75 Emilia Rose (2)

* * *

The conversation with Emilia became quite deep, despite the fact that I saw her for the first time today.

From Ganghu’s perspective, he wondered why Emilia would say something like this in front of him.

On the other hand, I thought that since I wasn’t that scared, I could talk about anything.

This is because there is no particular weakness in saying a few more words to someone who is not a threat.

“To better understand evil, we join hands with the constellation of Malicious Fragrance. “Isn’t that plausible?”

“It sounds as absurd as a serial killer claiming the world made him this way.”

“I am. “To understand pure evil, you have to experience it firsthand.”

“It sounds exactly like you have to kill someone to understand the killer.”

“Ho Ho. “It was an expected reaction.”

Although Ganghu refuted Emilia’s words, his tone of voice itself was calm.

It was proof that he was listening to what she said.

‘If it goes according to the original work, Emilia’s joining the thirteen stars is confirmed. But you can also see that there are variables.’

Kanghu thought so.

I can’t believe what Emilia just said. There is no reason to have any hope.

But what if you entered the thirteen stars out of curiosity for evil?

He can be seen as a different person from Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong, who dreamed of becoming collaborators from the beginning.

For example, she could have become the thirteen stars for her own fame and wealth.

The belief in becoming a collaborator of the Demon King may not have been the reason for becoming one of the thirteen stars.

You can’t jump to conclusions about anything.

However, if there is even the slightest possibility that other possibilities exist, the future can be very different.

“You know what’s interesting?”

“What is it?”

“I can confirm the potential of every hunter I see with one organized number.”

“Ohh.”

It was a tempting statement.

Because the original work’s setting for Emilia wasn’t very detailed, there are some things we don’t know.

There is a constellation that can detect potential. It was a constellation that made even Ganghu naturally drool.

“Why was I particularly interested in you, Seon-gyu Jeong, in a crowd of people?”

“Because it has high potential?”

“It’s not that high. The constellation revealed to me that your potential is infinite. “There are no limits.”

“….”

It may be self-praise, but it is true that the constellation has truly seen its true nature.

Aren’t you the person who can predict and predict the future and open the future on your own?

Because the potential for growth and its routes are endless, there was nothing strange about seeing the potential as infinite.

“That’s why I was curious about what kind of person you were. Is he simply a person with high potential? Or is he someone who realizes his own high potential?”

Emilia’s eyes glowed red.

She tried to control Kang-hu’s mind several times, but of course she failed.

Nevertheless, Emilia sometimes tried, as if she still had some regrets.

And every time I got stuck, I smiled bitterly.

I thought Kang Hu knew exactly what he was aiming for.

I also thought that I could suppress Ganghu if I used force.

Because the difference in power is clear.

However, Emilia was curious about the infinite potential she had never seen since becoming a hunter.

In a situation where even the constellation that cares for him so much displays himself as a quantified potential.

Only Kang Hu was given an infinite decision. Simply put, it means that it cannot be measured.

Emilia continued.

“The conclusion is the latter. “You’re not at all intimidated by me and you’re acting like you’re looking into everything, right?”

“Am I supposed to like it?”

“Ho Ho. That’s freedom. Anyway, I thought he was a person who clearly saw his own value.”

“I know for sure what direction I should pursue and where I stand.”

“that’s right. I felt that. Not arrogant, but full of confidence. “A person just on the edge.”

“I feel like my fingers will wear out if I hear more compliments.”

“Mr. Jeong Seon-gyu. When I have time, I’ll come to the Emilia Tower in Paris later. “Let’s meet one more time.”

“Is this a scouting offer?”

“Let’s just leave it as a curiosity about Hunter vs. Hunter. “I know that people like you won’t come even if we try to recruit them.”

Emilia shook her head.

Many experiences speak for themselves.

Hunters who clearly understand how great they are and what their skills are are never carelessly affiliated with someone or give up their side easily.

This is because they know their own value better than anyone else.

It does not seek to be subjugated nor does it provide room for such. If you try to keep it close, it flies away.

Emilia felt the same way about Kang-hu and saw it clearly.

“It allows you to register face information only once. Then you can enter and exit at any time without restriction.”

A face photo shoot that happened unexpectedly.

Ganghu did not refuse.

It’s not the name that sells, it’s just the familiar face that sells, so it’s nothing to worry about.

On the one hand, it was fascinating.

I never thought that a relationship with 13 stars, with which it is difficult to make contact, could happen in this way.

They say coincidences come without a trace, and today’s meeting with Emilia was exactly like that.

This would not have happened if I had not thought of coming to Hongcheon Liberation Zone on a whim.

* * *

After returning to the downtown area of Liberation-gu, Kang-hu immediately went shopping.

Since I already had a good guy named Hyeolru, weapons were excluded from my focus.

The Asura breastplate he was wearing was also very efficient, so it was unlikely to be seen unless you were level 4 or higher.

By excluding parts that did not particularly need replacement, the parts of interest were selected.

Assuming the options were good, I calculated that the necklace and bracelet were worth replacing.

In particular, the part of the ring that had some room left seemed to be the part with the least burden.

The direction of the stats was clear.

Stamina, resistance, and tenacity.

Kanghu was only interested in three areas.

‘Hard horse 95, tenacity 320.’

I checked the stats again.

Still, thanks to wearing the item well, both stats are quite high.

This was especially true considering the nature of the assassin profession, which made it very difficult to maintain defensive stats.

‘It is true that it is high considering assassins of similar level, but it is low by my standards.’

Ganghu was not satisfied.

This is because more and more skilled hunters are becoming involved.

Didn’t you meet Emilia today as well? Just before that, he had a fight with Kang Dong-hyun.

100% evasion is impossible against hunters like this.

No matter how hard you tried to avoid it, you had to calculate that some of you would be exposed to attack.

In the end, you have no choice but to take one or two hits. Because the other person is not a fool either. You can’t win a fight every time.

Therefore, anti-horsepower and tenacity, which are the stats that allow the body to withstand even when hit, were really important.

‘Using a skill to block means losing one turn from the defender’s perspective.’

From a defender’s perspective, the best thing is not to block well, but to be able to withstand being hit.

The reason why Kang Dong-hyun was so scary was because of his tenacity.

Since it is immune to most attacks, the gap due to defense is not calculated from the attacker’s perspective.

Even if his attack is successful, he is not sure whether it can slow down the opponent’s attack.

Kanghu carefully looked around the market and chose one of the items he had been choosing over and over again.

In the first place, the sign said ‘no negotiation possible’ in red letters, so there was no price negotiation.

“Let’s do this.”

“10 billion. “It’s just the right thing.”

“I see.”

What Kanghu bought from the seller was a grade 3 item. It was a matte black ring with nothing special about it.

【Shade of Desire – Ring】

【Grade: Grade 3】

【Fortitude + 75】

【Anti-Demon + 75】

It was a pretty good ring.

This is because it is very difficult to take care of both stats.

By wearing the new ring, Kang-hoo’s tenacity increased to a whopping 395. 400 is just around the corner.

At this level, he could avoid ‘instant death’ as long as he was not hit by a special attack.

Since there is a big difference between dying and living, it was on a very meaningful stat line.

If you follow the growth curve of a typical assassin, it is a toughness stat that you will not be able to achieve even at level 300.

‘It’s difficult to earn, but it only takes one second to spend.’

Kang-hoo looked bitter when he saw his bank account balance had dropped to 6.6 billion won.

Although it is true that the economic unit has changed compared to immediately after possession.

If you think about the economic unit of hunters like Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong, they are still at the level of children.

If you are willing to spend money, it is easy to find a place to spend it.

It would be nice to at least remember the lottery numbers, but there was no mention of lottery tickets in the original work.

Right then.

A broadcast was broadcast to the entire liberated area.

It is not broadcast at any time, but is a full broadcast that only airs when there is a main event in the liberation zone.

That means there will be a death match soon.

It was also one of the key sources of income for the liberation zone.

This is because the stakes are enormous in death matches where the lives of participating hunters are risked.

It was the goose that laid the golden egg, as the liberated area management authority, which laid the platform, took a whopping 5% as a betting commission.

“Gambling is the perfect way to lose money.”

Kanghu tried to move to another market.

Depending on the odds, it is possible to double or triple your money with death match betting.

On the other hand, it is possible to lose tens of billions of won in an instant.

Even if you think about it later, there is no way to get it back.

The story of some hunters becoming ghosts who lost their heads while going on a rampage out of regret for the money they had lost…

was no longer an urban legend.

The evidence was the numerous false graves outside the special stadium where the death match was taking place.

Gamyo is the tomb of a hunter who was killed by Kenax, the liberation zone management organization, while begging for money.

Right then.

“hmm…?”

The moment he unconsciously saw the faces of the death match participants displayed on the large electronic display board, Kang-hu’s gaze stopped.

The face that passed by in front of me was that of a hunter I had never seen before.

This is because the face that appeared last was the one that remained clearly in Kanghu’s memory.

Kanghu was already muttering the man’s name before it was displayed on the electronic display.

“Park Sang-oh?”

If things go like the original, he will never die now!

Such a person was proudly appearing at the end of the list of death match participants.

A way to gamble with 100% probability has been opened.
