The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 89

Episode 89 Jeon Jong-du (4)

* * *

“Wow. “Did you faint for a moment?”

Kang-hu opened his eyes about a minute after being caught in the explosion.

Of course, he did not turn a blind eye without taking action, but he accurately confirmed the death of Jeon Jong-du.

So, in the process of letting go of all the tension, I closed my eyes and fell into a light sleep.

When Jeon Jong-du died, the five constellations that had been contracted with him were handed over to Kang Hu.

Even for the heartless glutton who coveted it the most, it was a composition so satisfying that it made my mouth ache.

The remaining four constellations also had sufficiently high expectations.

【Dog of the Battlefield】

【When health decreases by 1%, the strength correction value increases by 1%.】

‘In the end, strength is linked to firepower, so it is a good synergy constellation for me.’

Kang Hu gave a general assessment of the dog constellations on the battlefield.

Of course, it’s better not to have a situation where the assassin loses stamina, but even if it does, there’s a reason to believe it.

【Seeker of Patience】

【Reduces pain by 50%.】

“Somehow. “I wondered if the sense of pain had been completely eliminated.”

The more pain you feel in moderation, the better.

It would be dangerous if you didn’t feel it at all, but the Seeker of Patience seemed to reduce it to just the right amount.

【Wind Bringer】

【Mobility increases by 25%.】

【Master of the Rock】

【A wheel that activates random rewards will appear in units of level 100. There are no bad or bad rewards.】

“Oh.”

Aside from the intuitive nature of being the Windbringer, the Master of Yabawi was also the first constellation that Ganghu had seen.

Even in the original work, it was judged to be highly arbitrary, so it was a setting that was never given to the core characters.

Of course, it was a concept that came to mind several times during the planning process. So it looks like it has been implemented.

If rewards are activated at level 100, now is the perfect time for Ganghu.

This is because the current level is 95.

If I raised it by 50,000 more, the constellation of Yabawi’s master seemed to activate the wheel.

Ganghu looked again at the content about the heartless glutton.

Then, a separate ability called ‘vital energy absorption’ was seen to be activated.

The ability to absorb vital energy from an opponent as soon as he touches it.

It was possible to activate or deactivate it at will. Moreover, in order to absorb vital energy, one had to stop moving.

“It matches well with Jeon Jong-du, but it will be a bit difficult for me to use during battle.”

Kanghu nodded, thinking of the general purpose and the picture to be used.

In any case, it is an ability that can be easily used while resting or after suppressing an enemy.

As a test, I placed my hand on the dead body of Jeon Jong-du.

【Activate vitality absorption.】

And let’s activate the vitality absorption that was disabled.

Seuuuuu!

“…!”

The lively energy from Jeon Jong-du’s body was sucked in along with Kang-hu’s hand.

I could feel my stamina, which had lost a lot from the battle just now, recovering quickly.

It felt like I was drinking a stamina potion that was immediately absorbed. The reaction was immediate.

There was another feature.

For some reason, while vital energy absorption was in progress, ‘congenital mana hypersensitivity’ was suppressed.

To be precise, the congenital mana hypersensitivity did not activate. Mana recovery was slow.

‘Is there a mechanism of opposite action rather than interaction?’

A question mark appears.

I don’t know why vital energy absorption and innate mana hypersensitivity work in opposition.

However, I was able to experience it directly, and it felt like I had gathered one clue that I needed to remember.

You will probably be able to use the knowledge you have gained this way in the future.

When it comes to congenital mana hypersensitivity, it would be good to have even the slightest clue. Because it will be helpful for research.

The settlement proceeded quickly.

A fierce battle was still going on in the abandoned factory.

Heavy drinking is heard frequently.

Judging by the mixing of the screams, it did not seem like one side was completely superior.

Of course, since the numerical advantage was with Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group from the beginning, it would be our allies who would have the advantage.

Kang-hoo stripped Jeon Jong-du of all his items.

Among them, I categorized and collected items that were difficult to change or replace.

The expected value is 20 billion won.

It was a value that made up for the amount of compensation lost by eliminating Jeon Jong-du rather than capturing him alive.

I also wore two rings that were level 4 and safe to wear.

It was my first time wearing an item with a ‘set effect’.

【Calypse (left) – Ring】

【Grade: 4th grade】

【Strength + 100】

【Strength + 25 (Calyps’ Will)】

【Calypse (right) – Ring】

【Grade: 4th grade】

【Strength + 100】

【Strength + 25 (Will of Calypse)】

Thanks to the activation of the set effect called ‘Will of Calypse’, an additional 50 strength was gained.

I haven’t worn any items with set effects yet.

In the mid- to long-term, it would have been better to focus on finding and wearing items of this type.

In the case of Jang Si-hwan, all ten rings he wears have one huge set effect.

Since the main character has a ton of buffs, the item composition is also highly fraudulent.

As Jang Si-hwan is Kang-hoo’s final goal… it is time to pay attention to the set effects step by step.

‘Once you reach level 100 and add basic skills, it would be a good idea to use a brief stone.’

The total number of stones currently owned is 5.

As it is an expensive item that can be useful in upgrading skills, saving it is not the best solution.

The saying that if you don’t care enough, you become shit, also applies to the world of hunters.

This is because it is not uncommon for something to be saved for later use, only to end up dying indiscriminately and never being able to be used again.

There were some parts that I had to put off a bit because I couldn’t decide on the direction in which to use the 5 stones.

Now my thoughts are clear.

Faster maneuvers and dodges.

You must invest your gems in skills that can maximize the assassin’s characteristics.

Only then will you be able to respond more skillfully when you encounter a character like Jeon Jong-du who is the opposite of you.

This battle with Jeon Jong-du ended at this level because his weaknesses were clear.

If Jeon Jong-doo’s level had been just 50 points higher than now, if his reaction had been a little faster, the result would have been different.

“Unconditionally 100.”

Kang-hu stood up.

As soon as this request is over, I have decided to stop performing all requests and focus only on leveling up.

“ruler. Jeon Jong-du. “It’s time to look outside.”

Jeon Jong-du’s body.

Kang-hu grabbed his hair and started dragging him outside.

To the Osho mercenary members who are fighting with all their might while waiting for the reliable mercenary leader Jeon Jong-du to appear.

It seemed like the time had come to deliver the clearest message possible with his dead body. It is time to break morale and fighting spirit.

* * *

“….”

“Ah….”

It was a minute later that time stopped in the entire abandoned factory where an intense battle was taking place.

When everyone’s attention was focused on a loud noise coming from one of the railings on the second floor of the abandoned factory.

All hunters who turned their eyes could see it.

The body of Jeon Jong-du, with the area under his chin bursting open without a trace and the area between his groin area reduced to rags.

And it was none other than Kang-hu’s foot that was trampling on Jeon Jong-du’s face, which was lying on the floor.

“Captain fucking…”

“He died that easily?”

“Who is that bastard again?”

The first to be shocked were the hunters from Osho’s mercenary group.

Jeon Jong-du was a man so powerful that they thought he was a ‘god.’

Jeon Jong-du was the one who crushed and folded things like iron pipes and aluminum bats to kill time.

As a joke, it was said that even if the entire Osho mercenary group clung to him, they would all collapse and die.

That’s how much I believed in Captain Jeon Jong-du and the destructive power of his power. It was a very natural trust.

However, it was a shock that Jeon Jong-du was killed not by many enemies but by a single hunter.

And that’s not the picture where he died with a fatal wound in one place.

It was a truly grotesque death, with the center of the face and lower body turning into a rag.

It was a natural reaction for hunters who were unaware of the existence and power of Ganghu’s skill, ‘Blood Flower’.

Kang-hoo appears to be a completely different type of hunter rather than an assassin. That’s because the visible wounds were like that.

“Your heads are bruised. Still, think carefully about whether you should fight hard.”

Toouk!

Kang-hu said a word without thinking and pushed Jeon Jong-du’s body away with his foot.

Then, Jeon Jong-du’s body fell down the railing and landed face-first on the floor.

Wow!

There was a breaking sound from his nose and forehead, but since he was dead anyway, no one cared.

“Ha…”

The exclamation from one of the Osho mercenary group’s hunters contained the sense of loss felt by all members.

They were the ones who held on and held on, believing only in the appearance of Jeon Jong-du.

It was also a waiting that was promised from the beginning. This is because Jeon Jong-du said he would come out with his fighting power raised to the maximum.

But the price of waiting was despair, not hope.

Now it’s a matter of timing. The question is when to surrender to the opponent.

‘I didn’t know the plot would unfold so dramatically.’

Meanwhile, Kim Soo-kyung was also surprised. To be exact, the entire Kim Soo-kyung mercenary group was surprised.

It’s not that Kang Hu didn’t think that he could find Jeon Jong-du and plot him out.

However, it never occurred to him that he would kill Jeon Jong-du and see the end.

The idea was to lure him out, then cooperate with the mercenary group.

The hunters right behind Kim Soo-kyung were an elite force organized to support Kang-hu in times of emergency.

However, despite his plan, Kang Hu ended Jeon Jong-du alone.

Since it was difficult to easily defeat Jeon Jong-du, they planned it out in a big way and even brought in external mercenaries… I was

dumbfounded to see that the grandiose plan to eliminate them ended with the actions of a single hunter.

‘Is it possible to picture a hunter who is less than level 100 preying on a level 350 hunter?’

Kim Soo-kyung was an open-minded person. I didn’t think level was everything, and I always thought there were variables.

However, the fact that level 100 won against 350, not even a draw, went beyond that.

Lee Ye-rin repeatedly emphasized that Kang-hoo should not be judged based on his level alone.

At that time, I thought there was a certain amount of lip service showing trust in Kang-hoo.

It wasn’t.

Yerin Lee told the story as it was. Kim Soo-kyung only heard it distorted.

For now, the admiration ends here.

As Kang-hu has laid out a great plan for a successful victory, it is necessary to quickly resolve the situation.

Kim Soo-kyung shouted.

“Your captain is defeated! Don’t resist pointlessly, surrender! “Unless you want to get killed!”

Kim Soo-kyung’s booming voice covered the entire abandoned factory.

It was a voice that resonated so violently that I wondered if it had a separate Lion’s Hood skill.

Ganghu was looking down from the second floor railing, holding a dagger for practicing throwing.

If the battle were to start again, it would be because there were several hunters who were greedy about stealing the constellation.

I was going to target those guys.

However, Jeon Jong-du, who was the support and mainstay that united the mercenary group as one, has died.

There was no hunter who would show courage when it was obvious that he would go straight to the underworld.

“I surrender.”

“I will surrender too!”

“Don’t attack! please!”

“I will put down my weapons!”

Osho’s mercenary group was disbanded from that day on. It was a meaningless end due to Jeon Jong-du’s death.

And at the beginning and end of this battle, Ganghu’s name was clearly engraved.

It was a perfect performance by Ganghu that no one could dispute about his great contribution and credit.
