The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 86

Episode 86: Jeon Jong-du (1)

* * *

The effects of the brilliant fight with Bezumiye were immediately apparent.

【All the constellations of ‘Warm Waves’ applaud you.】

【They consume the holy power they have collected to give you a significant buff.】

【Recover 1% of stamina every 10 seconds.】

‘Oh.’

The first to react was Warm Wave, a group of moderate constellations.

We provided quite a bit of support during the last Constellation exam, but this time we sponsored a different type of buff.

Recovers 1% stamina in 10 seconds.

It is by no means a small amount.

This is also a great help if you are lacking a means of recovery.

In addition, it continues to be applied while you sleep, so it is especially effective when combined with sleep.

There is nothing strange in saying that most of your physical strength is restored when you wake up.

【Apocalypse – I am deeply moved by the perfect death that darkness gave to Bezumiye.】 【

I assess that your potential is much higher than I thought.】

‘Nothing. Of course I should.’

Apocalypse – With the added praise of darkness, my shoulders felt tense.

The wilderness strategist also made Ganghu feel better with a similar compliment.

However, the Dimension Stealer, who would normally have been impatient and chimed in, was quiet for some reason.

Are you jealous?

Or are they preparing for something else? It was quiet, so for some reason I thought of something else.

“I cut down Bezumiye who escaped through the side door! Push a little harder! The main entrance is also worth a try!”

Meanwhile, Kim Soo-kyung, who confirmed that Kang-hu successfully defeated Bezumiye, gave a more aggressive order.

He was thinking of directing some of his power to the side door that Ganghu had broken through, but soon gave up the idea.

This is because the battle at the front was more intense than expected.

That meant that the side door was barely protected. Because enemy forces are concentrated at the main gate.

In this situation, if the core forces were to fall toward the side door, there was a high possibility that they would be focused on that side.

Kim Soo-kyung believed in Kang-hu’s ability to defeat Bezumiye one-on-one and planned to take the side gate route.

No matter what situation happened inside, Kang-hoo seemed to be able to respond skillfully.

Right then.

“It’s a trap!”

One of the members of Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group shouted urgently while trying to get deeper inside.

Kang Hu, who was about to enter through the side door, also turned his attention to the voice.

The presence of a trap means that an explosion will occur soon. Can the sacrifice really be prevented?

Ji-ing!

At that moment, Kim Soo-kyung, who had moved to the front line, stretched out both hands in the air and deployed her skills.

Ganghu immediately deployed a protective barrier to withstand the storm that would flow out of the side door.

and.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

The trap exploded.

The firepower was considerable.

With this level of firepower, a hunter exposed at close range cannot avoid injury.

Tooung! Tooung! Teuong!

However, the huge and elongated defensive wall that Kim Soo-kyung deployed perfectly caught the explosion.

victim? There was none.

Not even any mercenary members were injured. The explosion of the trap was neatly prevented.

‘I want that one.’

Kang Hu’s eyes shined.

I thought Kim Soo-kyung wasn’t named for nothing. It is true that hunters specialize in defense.

Maybe if I have a one-on-one with Kim Soo-kyung.

Even though Kim Soo-kyung couldn’t kill himself, his defense ability was strong, so I thought he would never die.

Taang! Taang!

Meanwhile, gunshots that had not been heard before began to be heard inside the abandoned factory.

Judging by the different gunshots, it seemed like there were at least two magic bullet snipers.

“Be careful not to expose yourself to sniping! And…”

Kim Soo-kyung quickly gave orders to his subordinates and turned to Kang Hu to make an additional request.

However, it was not visible whether Kang Hu had already entered the side door.

‘That’s fast.’

Judge the situation on your own.

The feeling of empathizing with the situation from a leader’s perspective and quickly finding what to do.

Kang-hu felt that way. Even if you didn’t ask for something, Kang-hu already knew.

After a while, while looking inside from the front door, several visible areas caught Kim Soo-kyung’s eyes.

It is a blind spot for the Osho mercenaries guarding the abandoned factory.

Before he knew it, Kang-hoo had ascended to the second floor and was moving along a path where light did not reach.

The target he was aiming for was a magic bullet sniper stationed on the second floor.

The advantage of a magic bullet sniper is that you can unilaterally occupy the high point and target your opponent.

However, the downside is that you have to let go of your focus on your position to focus on sniping.

This is because, in the process of ‘establishing’ a position in the first place, the possibility of self-exposure is lowered.

Since you are confident that it is relatively safe, use it as your own sniping point. That is the blind spot.

‘That’s really fast.’

Kim Soo-kyung saw that Kang-hoo, who seemed to have just entered the entrance of the second floor, changed in an instant.

It was clear that he had a leap acceleration skill.

There is nothing strange about having a skill in itself, but considering Ganghu’s level, it was very strange.

No matter how calmly you think about it, the gap between Kanghu’s skill composition and firepower was too great.

In fact, even the word “too” feels insufficient to express it. It would be more accurate to say that it makes no sense.

at that time.

Phew. Phew.

There were just two attacks.

And the two snipers fell from the second floor, with red blood pouring down the back of their necks.

It was a clean takedown.

The two snipers, who were not even aware of Kang-hu’s existence, lost their lives without doing anything.

A situation in which Ganghu thoroughly hid his presence and appearance by adding a veil of technique to his martial arts skills.

The blind spot of the sniper, who was concentrating on sniping, was also hit, and the two died suddenly.

【I killed the target and stole the contract with the ‘Lone Meditator’.】

【I killed the target and stole the contract with the ‘Lazy Genius’.】

‘The income is good.’

Ganghu looked satisfied.

The Lone Meditator was a constellation that provided a buff that increased mental concentration by 10%.

An increase in mental concentration means an improvement in skill casting speed.

Although it was not enough to provide a dramatic experience, it clearly had the advantage of reducing the absolute time required.

Lazy Genius was a constellation that provided a buff that doubled mana recovery.

Considering the synergy with congenital mana hypersensitivity, it was like adding wings to a galloping horse.

In fact, it was for this reason that Kang-hoo targeted the two snipers as soon as he entered the abandoned factory.

If you are an enemy and must be killed anyway, the most important thing is to rob a useful constellation.

Whirling! Sigh!

The practice dagger, fired at lightning speed at a time lag, pierced the back of the head of the Osho mercenary corps member on the first floor.

At the same time, the Osho mercenaries also began to panic when they saw the body of the sniper who had fallen to the first floor in front of them.

It occurred to me that the area above where the sniper was was no longer a safe zone.

The atmosphere inside the abandoned factory suddenly changed, perhaps because the anxiety amplified in an instant.

“Push!”

Kim Soo-kyung read the flow like a ghost and ordered the mercenary group to be more aggressive.

In addition, the momentum was clearly reversed as the two teams that joined late penetrated the back gate route.

‘What on earth is this guy Jeon Jong-du doing?’

However, Kang-hoo was curious about the whereabouts of Jeon Jong-du, who was nowhere to be seen even though the situation had progressed to this point.

Although the overall atmosphere had changed, Osho’s mercenaries still maintained a strong stance.

Jeon Jong-du did not suddenly run away. If that were the case, a report would have been sent to Kim Soo-kyung.

This is because guards were placed on all routes around the abandoned factory in anticipation of Jeon Jong-du’s escape.

Because Jeon Jong-du was not a type of assassin like Kang-hu, he could not run away without leaving a trace.

Unless you ran away.

Even though he is in a good position, it is strange that Jeon Jong-du’s appearance is late in this place where the situation of the war can change at any time.

‘There’s only one reason for this.’

There was something to point out.

The reason why there is no choice but to go to the battlefield even in urgent situations.

This is a case where time is absolutely necessary to raise combat power to its maximum level.

It is also one of the many settings from the original work. To borrow a martial arts expression, it’s like absorbing daebeop?

If Jeon Jong-du is a berserker whose strength comes from the bodies of hunters and monsters, the prediction is correct.

If so, they must be gathering their strength by now to respond to the unexpected attack of Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group.

There is a high possibility that there is a space somewhere in the abandoned factory where Jeon Jong-doo could be hiding.

I looked intently.

The sooner you find it, the better.

The Berserker series often produces power that far exceeds the level or combat power known to the public.

That is the advantage and disadvantage of the Berserker profession. Overall, there are many unpredictable aspects.

There is a need to reduce variables.

‘see.’

At that time, a faint light was seen in the corner of the second floor, between a space piled high with miscellaneous items and furniture.

At first glance, it was a location where it was difficult to detect other lights because they were mixed in with the surrounding lights.

However, when I looked calmly in a place free from enemy attacks, I saw a small gap.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwaang! Kwakwakwak!

“Ugh.”

The trap continues to be triggered.

The trap was reacting to Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group as they pushed back the defense line established by the Osho mercenary group.

It is a flow that intentionally drags time. It is clear that it is buying time for Jeon Jong-du.

“….”

Kang Hu used the veil of skill again and went into hiding without being noticed by anyone.

As I quickly approached the gap, there was silence as if there was nothing inside.

The light was dim, though.

I didn’t feel like I was popular at all. Not even the slightest warmth came out.

but.

‘I thought so.’

An invisible, transparent barrier was constructed tightly.

I don’t know what kind of reaction it was, but it was most likely an offensive barrier to prevent intruders.

It condenses mana to cause an explosion or generates high heat to induce burns.

Although the maintenance costs would have been high, it was clear that it was an important place considering what was built in this space.

Kuuk.

Ganghu grabbed the bloodstream a little shorter.

This was to quickly attack Jeon Jong-du in the event of a battle. The route should be as short as possible.

‘This is my first time properly fighting the Berserker family.’

Although my previous fight with Jo Young-jae was my first battle with a berserker hunter, it was difficult to call it my first fight.

This is because, compared to Jeon Jong-du, he was a hunter with new skills, not even his claws.

On the other hand, Jeon Jongdu is a berserker and specializes in catching abilities.

Bezumiye, who fought earlier, was a ‘monster’ with a size that made people say go away and ridiculously thick forearms.

So I had no choice but to be nervous.

Once Jeon Jong-du is caught, there is no next time.

There is a definite ending.

This is death that occurs when something is folded like a flip phone and cannot be unfolded again, whether on the waist or neck.

In a word, it means that this is the end of life.
