The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 8
Episode 8 Overpower (1)
The characteristics that Ganghu received from the Dimension Stealer now feel like a down payment.
This means that the deposit and balance still remain.
The reason why the Constellation did not hand out all characteristics to the contractees from the beginning was simpler than expected.
The fourth characteristic that can be granted is that the death of the contractor can lead to the ‘extinction’ of the constellation.
【Sponsoring a contractor casually and supporting him at the risk of his life are completely different things.】 Ganghu
responded to the Dimension Stealer’s words with a sour expression.
‘know.’
I understood.
As a major decision was required, the Dimension Stealer’s reaction was not surprising.
All you have to do is prove your skills yourself. Then your heart will open on its own.

After a while.
We entered a space filled with silence and silence, somewhat away from the monsters inside the dungeon.
Kang-hoo’s destination was the point where he was sure Kim Mok-hyeon was located.
The abandoned ruin dungeon was set in a modern, uninhabited city, so there were many buildings.
Among them, Ganghu knew the best point for this guy to hide for a long time and deal with outsiders who come to catch him.
It was also the place where Shin Kang-hu used as a hideout in the original work. The same would be true for Kim Mok-hyeon.
Tsueup-. Tsueup-.
“Whew. “I think I’ll buy something now.”
Kanghu was sucking the juice of a plant called ‘Solarchyum’ that he had luckily obtained on his way here.
It is a plant that is difficult to find in dungeons and has a calming and pain-relieving effect.
Therefore, it is effective in cases where congenital mana hypersensitivity occurs due to excessive use of mana.
Or, it was excellent as an inhibitory action when the body was about to overload and reject the reaction.
“Because I got five.”
He threw the solarium that had sucked the juice until Kanghu became dry.
There are a total of four solariums in the inner pocket. It’s a disappointing amount.
If the battle was prolonged and fought in the form of a war of attrition, it would be lost all at once.
The probability of obtaining Solarchyum in a regular dungeon is almost 1%. Moreover, since it is all natural growth, it is difficult to secure large quantities.
There is only one person in the country.
There is a talented person who has figured out how to raise this thing with human hands.
If you go to him, you can give him money and live comfortably. Of course, price negotiation is impossible.
‘I have to go all the way to Ground Zero, so I’ll have to go with a big heart.’
Ground Zero is located in a location formerly called the DMZ. The distance is a bit far.
In any case, soothing the hypersensitivity was one of the essential parts.
This is because it is difficult to avoid death if the body is restricted due to hypersensitivity when the battle is fierce.
Okay. Pasut. Okay. Pasut.
While moving, Kanghu practiced ‘motion cancellation’ to hide the presence of the kidnapping skill as much as possible.
The original abduction skill has a preparatory motion of clenching one hand like a fist and pulling the arm back twice. This is also what Ibria did.
However, if you use the next skill at the right time after using the kidnapping skill, 90% of the preliminary actions are omitted.
It appears as if he is slightly clenching his fist and then immediately moves on to the next skill. Of course, kidnapping is triggered.
However, it was difficult to get the ‘timing’ right, so I kept practicing over and over again, and now I’m getting pretty good at it.
“It’s almost time.”
Kanghu opened his backpack and prepared to take out the ingredients he had purchased on the black market.
Meat, blood and anesthetic.
It was a necessary bait for the enemies we would have to deal with in the future. Without this, targeting Kim Mok-hyeon would be out of the question.
I raised my head for a moment and looked at the sky.
The clouds that had fallen helplessly had the red glow of a sunset and were scattering in all directions like flowing blood.
Outside the dungeon, this gloomy and gloomy landscape is not particularly different.
A car that lost its owner and was abandoned.
A train that was never returned to its original state after a derailment accident.
A military helicopter whose body was not even recovered after it crashed.
A town that has become a den of criminal organizations and whose civilian residents have completely disappeared.
This fin-de-siecle scene was worse outside the dungeon than inside. It is rather ‘peaceful’ inside the dungeon.
‘Should I stop here?’
Ganghu stopped moving forward little by little and stopped in front of a rock surrounded by strong bushes.
Even though it was only for a moment, I saw someone’s face. The location was at the top of a 10-story building where only the skeleton remained.
‘You’ve come to the right place.’
There seemed to be no need to find out who the main character of the shadow was. The guy is right.
* * *
Jiik! Ji profit!
Kim Mok-hyeon was enthusiastically tearing into dried beef jerky. It’s my first time eating outside food in a long time.
An outside source stopped by here just a few hours ago.
It was an informant hired by Kim Mok-hyeon, who was looking for a suitable opportunity to expose the information.
Since no electronic devices could be used inside the dungeon, news was delivered through an old-fashioned but reliable means.
It was just paper.
【Black Lion has conditionally approved Kim Mok-hyun’s membership in the organization.】
【You only need to hand over the internal information of the mercenary group run by Lee Ye-rin.】
After completing the confirmation, Kim Mok-hyeon burned the paper. It is best not to leave any evidence behind.
‘Inside information’ refers to information related to the dungeon and interests over which she holds ownership.
For example, whether or not you own the magic stone mine that is implemented inside the dungeon rather than outside.
Or whether there is a place where you can receive a fixed supply of high-level items by periodically attacking boss monsters.
This information was also verified information obtained by killing a mercenary who had been doing business with Lee Ye-rin for a long time.
He must be very angry because he also stole a level 3 item from Yerin Lee.
In the meantime, most of the hunters who came at Lee Ye-rin’s request were dead.
Did just one or two survive?
Ye-rin Lee must have given up on revenge now, as she hasn’t had any visitors for the past few weeks.
So, just as I was looking for an opportunity to get out of the dungeon, I received a call from the Black Lion.
The Black Lion was a criminal organization in the Daejeon area that divided the interests of the dungeon together with the Eclipse mercenary group Cheongan.
“그년의 헛소리만 듣고 와서 아이템만 대준 새끼들이 한둘이어야 말이지. Dungeons are truly the best refuge. “There are plenty of monsters to catch and eat if you want to.”
Kim Mok-hyun chuckled.
In fact, the number of items he obtained by killing the hunters who came all the way here to catch him was 10.
Among them, there are two grade 5 items. It is well worth spending more than 200 million won per unit.
at that time.
“hmm?”
Kim Mok-hyeon, who was half-leaning on the windowless 10th floor railing, suddenly straightened up.
Because someone was coming this way.
This is not an area where monsters to hunt appear.
In other words, the other person chose this building as their destination.
Then it’s one of two things. Either you’re tired and came here to rest, or you really have something to see here.
‘No matter what, from my perspective, there will be one more person to rob.’
Kim Mok-hyeon grinned and hit the concrete wall three times.
Then, the beings crouching in the dark shadow created by the pillar stood up.
Twilight Wolf.
It is an ‘ordeal’ that hunters who come here must overcome in order to see their faces.
As soon as the signal was given, the twilight wolves began to come down the stairs.
Among them, there were two that had already arrived on the first floor and were running straight toward Ganghu.
“Just by looking at him, he looks like an assassin. Guys like that are very easy to tear apart like paper. Tsk tsk.”
Kim Mok-hyeon chewed the beef jerky and looked down with a relaxed expression.
however.
Crook! Crew look! Crook!
The three twilight wolves that were charging at Ganghu suddenly stopped and gorged on something on the ground.
It was meat. It’s also seasoned meat with a strong odor that spreads quite far.
It was clearly a twilight wolf that ate meat, but for some reason, it ate without any hesitation.
If the situation had ended there, it would have been an accident, but the problem was what happened next.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Kang Hu easily climbed onto the back of the twilight wolf and stabbed the dagger into its cervical spine, immediately cutting off its nerves.
“What the fuck…”
Kim Mok-hyeon’s face became the color of dirt.
The twilight wolf was a dungeon beast that he took a long time to tame. I wasn’t confident about fighting directly.
However, Kang-hu perfectly drew attention to the fish that was to be used as bait, and killed him while his guard was relaxed.
Ending his life in one go was impossible without knowing the exact vital location of the Twilight Wolf.
If you don’t stop your nerves right away, you could end up getting eaten by a pack of twilight wolves.
The arrangement took place in an instant.
The wolves ran down with great vigor and rushed to bite the bait thrown by Kang-hu.
He lost his life without even having a chance to feel pain amidst the haziness and paralysis of the anesthetic that quickly spread throughout his body.
Naturally, Kang-hoo is an uninvited guest who thought he would end up as a meal for the twilight wolf pack.
But the results were completely different. It was the entire twilight wolf that was eliminated in one moment.
and.
Push! Quad deuk! Pussy!
Smoke rose from the first floor of the building, and the sound of the magic trap installed by Kim Mok-hyun being dismantled was heard.
“What is this guy…?”
Kim Mok-hyeon’s fingertips trembled.
All traps hidden on hard-to-reach railings and corners were being discovered by Kang-hoo.
He was looking through this building as if he had used it from a defender’s perspective.
Whi profit! Whi profit!
Kim Mok-hyeon urgently whistled, but the twilight wolf, which was supposed to come running as soon as it heard the sound, did not appear.
Because everyone is dead.
“Do you fucking think I’m going to be scared?”
Kim Mok-hyeon cursed and brought up the heat in his body that had cooled down due to rest.
The uninvited guest, who I thought would be sorted out on the Twilight Wolf line, was stronger than I thought.
But that’s it.
Kim Mok-hyeon was wearing a large number of items that could not be said to be at the level of a level 50 hunter.
It was also a basis for confidence.
If you calculate the additional effects you see through the item into levels, it will exceed 100 even if you can’t.
【Fighter of Chaos】
【Malignant constellation. It is a constellation that grants effective abilities to disorient and blind enemies.】
“I am a precious body watched over by the constellation. Do you understand?”
He smiled, looking at the constellation window with a proud expression. Because it was a constellation that recognized his talent right away.
“I’ll show you the black magic of hell.”
Kim Mok-hyeon drew up the energy of corruption with both hands full and prepared to engage in a fierce battle with Kang Hu.
Grumbling.
And the eyes, which had always been shining black, turned red.
【Wrath of the Evil God】
【Enter into an awakening state that consumes 1 mana per second.】
It was ‘awakening’, a change that maximizes the effect of the amulet worn.
From now on, skill casting time will decrease dramatically. It also meant that hell would soon unfold for the intruder.
* * *
“You really nailed the trap.”
Kang-hoo was working his way up from the first floor, dismantling any traps he could see.
If you play on a board that is clearly designed as a trap, it’s perfect for dying without a plan.
However, if you can look at the scene from outside the sphere of influence, the loopholes are clearly visible.
Except when he was subduing the twilight wolf, Ganghu was jumping up the railing instead of the stairs.
This application was possible because the original concept of the building was discontinued during construction, leaving only the framework.
“Whoa.”
