The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 88

Episode 88: Jeon Jong-du (3)

* * *

“Stop being a shallow rip-off, you bastard!”

Jeon Jong-du, whose whole body was red like a runaway locomotive, began rushing towards Kang-hoo’s shadow.

Since there was only one guy and many shadows, it was very easy for Ganghu to avoid it.

I finished the move by selecting the shadow furthest from Jeon Jong-du. As always, it was a perfect maneuver.

but.

Huh!

At that moment, Ganghu could clearly hear a roar. This is the sound you hear when something heavy flies.

“Damn it.”

When I looked at the situation, I saw that Jeon Jong-du, who was on the other side, was rushing at even greater speed than before.

It was so fast, faster than anyone could have imagined, that even Ganghu had no room to use his skills again.

“Hahaha!”

Like a horror movie, Jeon Jong-doo’s face, getting closer and bigger, filled my field of vision.

Coo!

And then a crash occurred.

Kang-hoo deployed a protective barrier to block Jeon Jong-du’s charge, but it was impossible to block it without causing damage.

“Ugh!”

My body exploded.

At the same time, a wave of pain started from the elbow, the starting point of the collision, and spread throughout the body.

‘You crazy bastard.’

By Kanghu’s standards, there was a curse that was close to ‘high praise’. Jeon Jong-du. As his reputation suggests, this guy was very strong.

While the body floating in the air was flying towards the wall, Jeon Jong-doo took a pose by extending his arms forward.

It’s a catching posture.

The intention was to catch Kang-hu, who was about to bounce off or fall down the wall, and see the end right then and there.

The good news was that Kang-hu was in good spirits and although he suffered a blow, he was not injured.

【Veil of Skill】

【Leap】

So, I went into hiding by laying down a curtain of skill, and then used the leap skill to climb over the wall and escape the scene.

It was fortunate that I had already thought about my next response, otherwise I would have been caught and killed right away.

“Your skills are quite good. “It looks like you have quite a few options for getting out of a corner.”

“Put your mouth down, you bastard.”

Kang-hoo cursed at Jeon Jong-du, who suddenly seemed relaxed and gave him a thumbs up.

It felt quite unpleasant to see him smiling so brightly at himself. There was also a bit of pride.

But at the same time, I thought the battle would be fun.

This is because a character with a concept like Jeon Jong-du is the most difficult enemy for Kang-hoo.

Assassination requires the ability to seriously injure or end an opponent’s life with a single strike.

However, these types of hunters, with their enormous size and strength, do not die easily.

Moreover, even if you get one or two effective attacks, compared to other occupations that have:

For a guy like Jeon Jong-du, getting caught meant death.

For these guys, the situation where they catch the enemy is the starting point of their one-hit kill. This is the situation I was just aiming for.

【Leap】

Faaah!

Kang Hu rushed towards Jeon Jong-du.

It is difficult to create a gap for Jeon Jong-du through a passive and defensive battle.

Even if you make it, there is a high possibility that you will prepare by preparing your posture and battle line before approaching.

In the end, we had to actively dig in and induce a response to create a gap.

That is the advantage and disadvantage of the berserker.

This is because it is powerful because it produces power beyond imagination, but in the process, it exposes loopholes without one’s knowledge.

This is because the body moves so quickly and beyond common sense and control that even the berserker himself is surprised.

“Heh.”

Jeon Jong-doo laughed as he saw Kang-hu attacking him honestly from the front.

He had also dealt with quite a few hunters of the assassin profession. I have seen this standard pattern countless times.

They’re probably going to pretend to come in and then step back, or they’re going to use the same movement skill as before.

Jeon Jong-du, who was not even impressed by the dagger attack, stretched out his arms. The intention was to catch him outright.

Right then.

【Cute!】

Kanghu used a skill he had never used before.

Isn’t the battle a battle of various skill options?

This skill had its own value. At first, I frowned because I was repulsed by the name.

Again! Tuing!

Soon, a medium-sized human-sized slime created in front of Jeon Jong-du filled his field of vision.

Jeon Jong-du’s arm, which was stretched out with the intention of catching Kang-hu no matter what he did, entered the slime’s body.

“Fuck you!”

The slime’s body, which was thicker(?) than expected, did not let go of Jeon Jong-du’s arm easily, like thick snot.

Meanwhile, Kang-hoo, who had successfully made a lateral move targeting the slime while making slime, was behind Jeon Jong-du.

In some ways, it is an obvious backward movement formula.

In the middle of the process, a new option called slime creation was added, which became an unexpected variable.

‘no. It’s obvious even here.’

However, Kang-hu did not become complacent and decided to twist the situation one more time.

At the point when he was caught by the slime, Jeon Jong-du would have naturally expected himself to be positioned behind him.

【Shallow chaos】

So, I quietly created shallow chaos on Jeon Jong-doo.

Disorientation.

Peripheral vision distortion.

It was a pretty good option for a guy who moves instinctively using a body that can demonstrate tremendous strength.

“Fuck you!”

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Jeon Jong-du beat up the slime.

The force was so powerful that the entire slime exploded and jelly-like drops rained down from the sky.

The bright eyes of the slime attached to the body immediately turned into an X, signaling its sad death.

It was good up to this point.

Jeon Jong-du immediately turned his gaze and recognized the presence of Kang-hoo at the back, to be precise, at the rear of the side.

After all, I had experienced countless times in situations where assassins were ‘taking the back’, so I wasn’t embarrassed.

He stretched out his arms furiously. Since the distance is close, it is easy to catch it.

Right then.

Whiing!

“…?”

Jeon Jong-du saw Kang Hu’s clearly visible figure dissipate like smoke as soon as he touched it.

I saw it, but it wasn’t what I saw.

Could it be a hallucination?

Or sensory disturbance?

It is not true that there are no mental skills that induce distortion in this way.

but.

I have never experienced an assassin using this skill before.

It’s as if he, a berserker, is far from magic skills. There is no connection.

That moment.

Sigh!

“Kaaaaaaak!”

Jeon Jong-du felt pain rising from an area he had never expected.

It was the groin.

At first there was a feeling of cold metal, and then a pain like hot fire was added to the wound.

Thanks to the intense pain he felt, paradoxically, the shallow confusion that had just hit Jeon Jong-du was relieved.

But the situation had already happened.

Jeon Jong-du felt that the balance of his lower body, which had silently supported the large body, was falling apart.

The damage suffered from being attacked in the groin was too great to be dismissed as a simple accident.

‘continue. more.’

Meanwhile, Kanghu was scolding himself even more.

Thanks to the successful decapitation skill, the previous blow was very successful.

No matter how hard a body is, the entire body does not maintain the hardness of steel.

There are relatively ‘soft’ areas. Ganghu had his sights set on that area from the beginning.

【Robbery of vision】

The vision was stolen from Jeon Jong-du.

A skill that you are unlikely to encounter under normal circumstances.

But now, he must be unable to control his mind due to the extreme pain coming from his lower body.

In these cases, attacks on the mental world work much better.

Jeon Jong-du may have been a physically perfect hunter, but mentally he clearly had gaps.

“This bastard…!”

Huh! Hwaang!

Jeon Jong-doo, full of poison, nervously stirred his surroundings.

It was an attack filled with anger, threatening to tear anything to pieces if anything was caught.

However, he was not the type of person to suffer from a futile struggle.

Kang Hu looked at Jeon Jong-du while holding his breath.

Although the situation seems favorable.

If you make a mistake and get caught by Jeon Jong-du, he may have all your life sucked out of you and help you recover.

Then, the situation will be completely turned upside down, to the point where it is appropriate to call it a come-from-behind victory.

at that time.

“Go for it! Come on!”

Jeon Jong-du’s upper body tilted forward as he violently stretched out his hands and tried to grab various places.

Because the lower body’s ability to support itself was different than usual, it seemed that it could not keep up with the movement of the upper body.

When the body’s center of gravity shakes.

If you correct yourself quickly, you will soon find your center, but if not, your body will continue to follow the direction of movement.

The current Jeon Jong-du was the latter.

As the body leans forward, it becomes a picture with the face relatively forward.

【Kidnapping】

Kang Hu took the gamble.

It was a skill that had to be used most carefully against Jeon Jong-du, who would die if caught, but it was worth it for now.

“Huh!”

Jeon Jong-du was once again taken aback by the series of skills unsuitable for an assassin.

It would have been nice if it had just ended in embarrassment, but the entire heavy body had been lifted and was heading towards Kang-hoo.

The vision blockage of the vision robbery had not yet been resolved, and Jeon Jong-du’s visual information was almost non-existent.

Ganghu lowered himself.

And then he looked up at Jeon Jong-du, who had been summoned in front of him.

‘chin.’

You can see the point to aim for with a single blow.

Kang Hu, who was clutching his fist tightly, connected with the Great Decapitation skill and stood up, extending his dagger upward.

Fuuuuuck!

Blood flowed through Jeon Jong-du’s tongue and palate, along with a heavy feeling of penetrating through his bones and muscles.

Although Jeon Jong-doo had a huge body that was unrivaled, not all parts were strong.

“Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpp…!”

Eventually, the effect of the vision robbery disappeared and Jeon Jong-du spotted Kang-hoo and opened his eyes.

Although blood flowed deep into his face and radiated heat, Jeon Jong-du was not yet dead.

Jeon Jong-doo’s eyeballs swelled as if they would burst at the slightest breeze.

Jeon Jong-du was like a yaksha, filled with venomous intentions to capture and kill Kang-hu at all costs.

Up!

“Damn it.”

Both arms were grabbed by Jeon Jong-du.

Even as the dagger pierced the inside of his face, Jeon Jong-du did not lose his original strength.

Sseuuuuu!

Soon, I felt as if all the blood in my body was being diverted to one side, and I began to lose energy.

One of Jeon Jongdu’s constellation abilities.

It seemed as if the absorption of vitality had begun.

I don’t know if it was my mood, but it felt like not only my vitality but also my body’s mana had been drained.

That wasn’t all.

Jeon Jong-doo grabbed Kang-hu’s arms and lifted him high into the sky.

My body soared in an instant to the point where I wondered if this would be what it would feel like if there were human rides.

Jeon Jong-du was holding on in a situation where it would not have been surprising if he had died if he had been a decent hunter.

Rather, it was about to be counterattacked.

In this situation, if Jeon Jong-du’s powerful force begins to strike, there is a high possibility that he will end up in a dried pollack situation.

It’s a good thing if your body doesn’t end up like finely minced meat from front to back. There will be nothing left.

“You crazy bastard.”

Kang-hoo stuck out his tongue and cursed at Jeon Jong-du, who was showing off his super strength.

If given just a little more time, Kang-hu would also get injured. No, it would be better if it was an injury.

so.

[Blood Flower]

Used the finishing skill.

At the beginning of the battle, it was a skill that could not be used because it did not cause any significant damage.

Since there were deep wounds and massive bleeding in the groin and lower jaw, the ‘material’ was sufficient.

Puff! Puff puff! Puff puff!

A huge explosion occurred.

However, this time even Kang Hu was not free from the bloody explosion that occurred from Jeon Jong-du.

Unlike the development of Blood Flower, which always sees a great end from afar.

This time, I had to mix with the target and experience an explosion of blood and flesh.

As for the expression ‘crazy bastard’ that I mentioned earlier.

There was also a feeling of being fed up with Jeon Jong-doo’s recklessness, which did not allow it to end easily until the end.

‘I think I should rest for a few days.’

Kang-hu, who predicted that he would be caught up in the explosion and be completely ruined, sighed softly.
