The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 77

Episode 77: Crisis is Opportunity (2)

* * *

‘It seems like an explosion occurred in a dungeon with many speed-type monsters.’

As we move towards the epicenter.

I immediately understood the characteristics of the rampaging monsters.

Usually, when a dungeon explodes, the monster appears with its characteristics maximized.

If there were tough guys in the dungeon, their skin would become very thick.

Those with quick movements run wild as if they are fast-forwarding at 2x or 3x speed.

Monsters that know how to use magic will be equipped with a much larger amount of mana than usual.

This explosion was related to quick-moving guys.

There are monsters rampaging around that are perfect for damage if you are not good at maneuvering.

“Ugh.”

“Huh.”

The two hunters who blindly rushed at the monster without even knowing it lost their heads in an instant.

When the two mantis-like monsters cut off their heads with tongs, they were completely cut off.

Normally, there would be no reason for me to suffer from this attack, but it was so fast that I opened my eyes and suffered it.

“It will be good training.”

Ganghu thought lightly.

The battle will have to be heavy. I wasn’t necessarily scared from the start.

“Hey!”

“Let’s run away! “The kids are so strong!”

“hey! “If we run away, these guys will be walking around like crazy on this street!”

“What do you know! Kenax will take care of it. “Don’t play hero, let’s run away, idiot!”

A response faithful to instinct erupted from the hunters. It was also a realistic choice.

‘If this is the case anyway, the dungeon license would be meaningless. ‘Why don’t you go into the station?’

Kanghu was looking at a picture a little further away.

I still don’t know what kind of dungeon it is, but if there was an explosion, there would be a middle boss and main boss inside.

If you catch them, you will of course be able to obtain more enhanced rewards than usual as well as skills.

I was greedy because there was a lot of room for profit in many ways.

An attack license is meaningless when an explosion has occurred.

Papat! Pot!

With the added goal, I became much more motivated than before.

However, Ganghu was no exception to the attention of monsters rampaging outside the dungeon, and several of them were caught in the loop.

Huh! Huh!

Kwajak! Kwa-jak-kwa-jak!

“Wow. “It’s fast.”

The speed was fast enough to make you understand why the hunters who lost their heads earlier were unable to use their hands.

They even aimed at the top, bottom, and sides at the same time so that Ganghu could not easily avoid them.

It was an attack that would have been cut off anywhere if it had not been planned from the beginning and avoided all the way.

【Windroojin】

A windroojin for wide-area attacks was laid.

Monsters that have this sense of speed have very difficult one-on-one battles.

So, if you don’t choose a way to weaken their power at the same time, the battle will be difficult.

Push! Perseuseok! Crispy!

Keek! Kieeeet!

The effect of the wind blow was perfect.

In an instant, countless wounds were inflicted on the bodies of the five mantises that entered the attack area.

When a sharp wind scratches and the ‘current’ of a windbreaker occasionally explodes.

My body became stiff and I began to tremble. It was a symptom similar to an electric shock.

Of course, Ganghu did not miss the opportunity.

【Jeonggwangbido】

Jeongwangbido, which puts all of its power into a single dagger throw, was a special move optimized for the current situation.

The dagger, which disappeared without even knowing whether it had left the fingertips, pierced the mantis between the eyes in the blink of an eye.

Kuek.

That was the end.

And the situation is over if you simply retrieve the blood with Molis Mani Che.

It was a successful one-sided exchange of damage.

【Kidnapping】

Wow!

This time, I summoned one person directly to the front.

Previously, we provided a service that brought customers to their home, but now we have provided a service that makes people come to us.

The praying mantis that was forcibly summoned by Kanghu, who was standing there without thinking, didn’t even have time to dodge.

Phew!

At the moment, a mantis with a cool blood ooze in the middle of the abdomen moves its pincers and tries to target Kang-hu.

Ahhhhh!

Ganghu drew a huge red line from the middle of the mantis’ abdomen to its left shoulder.

Although he did not use any skills and simply used physical strength, his power was enormous.

Patter!

Everything that could possibly pour out poured out of the wound, including fluid, blood, and flesh and blood.

The mantis died on the spot, unable to even move its body. He died of shock.

“Wow, fuck. “What is that guy?”

“Why are you forcibly dragging a monster to the front and stabbing it in the stomach? “What about the electric blanket you just laid down?”

“Who is he?”

“How do I know that?”

The hunters watching hurriedly stuck out their tongues.

This is an even more alien scene considering the scene where hunters are dying while screaming here and there.

“Should we also spoon? If I follow behind him, I think I can catch some monsters, right?”

A shrewd hunter recognized Ganghu’s uniqueness and came up with a plausible plan of his own.

Since Kang-hoo seems to have a knack for dealing with monsters, he tries to pick up the beans that fall from behind and eat them.

Anyway, in terms of damage, you can gain experience points and rewards by killing seasoned monsters.

Since Kang-hu was alone and there were many of them, they thought that they wouldn’t be able to say anything that they didn’t like even if they openly stuck together.

No matter how skilled a hunter may be, there is no business in front of a sidekick.

“Are you saying we’re going to play straws?”

“yes. “I’m so busy worrying about monsters, where do I have time to worry about the future?”

“but. Looking at it, it’s Dokgo Da. “If you make up your mind and stick with it, there will be more room to suck than you think.”

“Cluck. Let’s go. And the original. If you have skills, it’s right to take care of other hunters in the spirit of partnership. “Isn’t that right?”

How good are you at self-justification?

They were a group of people who seriously talked about bullshit that some people wouldn’t even snort even if they heard it.

The problem is that people nod their heads in agreement with all that bullshit.

Anyway, there were a lot of unpleasant bastards attracted to Kang-hoo.

That time.

Jang Si-hwan was constantly washing his hands in the bathroom located in the most corner of his house.

This was a location that I rarely came to even to run errands.

This is because it was a place on the ‘outskirts’ of the house, far away from core activities such as the study or living room.

Nevertheless, I had to come all the way here because I had a reason to use this bathroom.

Shoot ahhh.

Red blood was constantly washed away from Jang Si-hwan’s hands along with the pouring tap water.

And the drain visible toward the bottom right continued to contain blood from different sources.

Jang Si-hwan had no interest in the corpse, as if such a murder had happened only once or twice.

I just kept looking at the mirror and muttering.

“Now why don’t you just stay inside and get some rest? “Rest forever in the dream I created.”

The cold voice was clearly quite distant from the usual Jang Si-hwan.

Even the eyes were different from the beginning.

Are these not sad eyes immersed in sorrow, but the eyes of a killer full of madness?

It was a look in his eyes that did not match his usual Jang Si-hwan.

“This is not the world I dreamed of. Don’t keep trying to break me down. “This is not it!”

“But you seem to quite like this dream I created. “The time spent in that dream is gradually increasing, right?”

“no! “No!”

“It wouldn’t be a bad thing to live comfortably and intoxicated with dreams. “Please leave all the complicated and difficult thoughts as a collaborator to me.”

“no. no way…!”

A heated argument between two completely different selves was exchanged in the same breath.

But even for a moment. In the end, as always, it was Jang Si-hwan’s distorted ego that won.

Although Kang-hoo didn’t know it yet, the foundation for the ending of Jang Si-hwan in the original work was already laid.

The original content itself was a huge delusion.

Everything he believed that he was fighting for a cause and justice was a complete delusion.

It was a delusion that he had created himself, so he had no choice but to be completely deceived.

In reality, Jang Si-hwan was a villain who was crueler and crueler than anyone else and had no interest in justice.

at that time.

smart.

There was a knocking sound.

There is only one person who can be in Jang Si-hwan’s house as an outsider.

Chae Gwan-hyeong is an incomparable friend.

Jang Si-hwan said as he washed away the remaining blood.

“come in.”

“Oh, the smell of blood! Just kill me, man! Disposing of corpses discreetly is also work for me.”

“I never asked you to handle it. If it bothers you, leave it here. “It will rot on its own or whatever.”

“Then it will smell like a rotting corpse. The living environment will definitely improve. uh?”

“If you came here to nag, go away. “I still have a lot of headaches.”

“Is that crazy guy still talking to you?”

“what. It’s not like it’s been a day or two. “Nothing to worry about.”

The white towel I nervously wiped my hands with was still full of blood.

Chae Gwan-hyeong, who suffers from tuberculosis, deliberately looked away.

I couldn’t bear to see red blood stuck to a white towel.

He brought up the topic.

“Elizabeth says she will join.”

“With your own mouth?”

“uh. “They said they strongly sympathize with our cause.”

“The Saint of Salvation has finally decided to save the world. “It should have been done right away.”

Jang Si-hwan laughed.

Saint Elizabeth of Salvation.

He is a healer-type hunter who travels around Africa and conflict areas to heal and help people.

Healing the sick, helping the poor, and curing those with incurable diseases.

It was truly an icon of a saint. Therefore, no one disagreed with her nickname, “Saint of Salvation.”

Such a hunter expressed his intention to join the Thirteen Stars. One more faithful collaborator has been added.

Meanwhile, at that time.

‘Is human selfishness and jealousy inevitable? I thought they would just pick up the crumbs, but they’re crossing the line.’

Kang-hu is increasingly interfering with his path.

I frowned at the movements of the hunters, who even subtly threatened me.

At first, he thought he was only attacking some of the seasoned monsters he couldn’t handle.

I wasn’t particularly greedy because it was a monster that I passed by because it was in the way of movement.

On the contrary, it felt like the hassle of having the hunters chasing behind finished the work was reduced.

But since when?

Suddenly, a guy appeared, firing a skill at himself as if it were a mistake.

I was so shocked that I apologized and made an awkward expression.

There were several attacks aimed at a loophole that would have been frighteningly sharp to just accept an apology and move on.

Not a bad start if you were thinking about the relationship between crocodiles and crocodile birds.

However, the crocodile birds, who had forgotten their duty, were already greedy about eating the crocodile’s flesh.

And from the beginning, Ganghu had no intention of showing mercy to those who got in his way.

The gaze was still directed forward, but all efforts were focused on the rear.

and.

Shuaa!

Someone’s magic skill attack that clearly crossed the line was aimed at the back of Ganghu’s head.
