Episode 102: The Fixer (3)
But the Fixer was not without a solution.
It’s not a turn-based game, so the moment you realize you’re in danger, you react unconditionally.
In the process of being kidnapped by Kang-hu, the fixer thought that he had been hit hard.
He clearly admitted that he had been tricked by Kang-hu and decided to give up his left shoulder.
The idea was to twist my body as much as possible. Time was running out to use defense skills.
Instead of offering a shoulder, the solver used that much time as an opportunity to counterattack.
What unfolded to Kang-hu was oxidation. It was also a skill that could be selected as a basic skill at level 200.
Depending on the taste of the warlock hunter, oxidation, ignition, exhaustion, etc. could be selected. The solution was ‘oxidation’.
Ganghu prepared to insert the dagger into the solver’s heart by linking the Great Decapitation skill.
There was no way they would attack him with their eyes open, but the target was clear. The cleanest thing to do is to cut off the breath all at once.
Right then.
‘also.’
I didn’t think it would just happen, but as expected, a red light appeared from the tips of the solver’s fingers.
I don’t know what kind of skill it is, but it was enough to make me realize that he had no intention of being treated kindly.
‘You won’t be full after the first drink.’
Kang Hu wasn’t too greedy either.
The very idea of ending a battle with a single blow against a warlock who has quick reactions is arrogance.
However, it seemed like the solver was done with the idea of strategically giving away the left part, so he decided to take the result.
Phew!
“Ugh!”
The moment the dagger plunged into the solver’s left shoulder, Ganghu immediately pulled the dagger out.
Then, using the solver’s body as a stepping stone, he pushed off with his feet and leapt backwards. It was avoided.
Next moment.
Pssssssut! Tsutsutsu!
‘also.’
A light green circular space appeared in the place where Ganghu was and immediately burned with smoke.
It was an oxidation skill.
‘I guess they decided to oxidize at level 200. Well, that one has the highest lethality.’
The prediction was correct.
The fixer took his own life in return for giving up his left shoulder. This is a frighteningly cold judgment.
It’s a shame because I paid attention to the changes that occurred at my fingertips. What if I was intoxicated by the success of my target?
He must have been shaking hands with Jeon Jong-du, who died not long ago, in the afterlife.
“Ugh. Quite a bit. “Are you sick?”
“Do one thing at a time. Was it painful? Or maybe you just brag like it’s no big deal.”
“It hurts so bad. “This has a huge effect on causing bleeding… but it’s not easy to stop the bleeding.”
Kang Hu was also confident about the bleeding.
The bleeding effect has the effect of slowing down hemostasis and suppressing or halving the opponent’s recovery ability.
So it was one of the very important options for hunters and was quite rare.
The higher you get into the world of top hunters, the more difficult it becomes to find a ‘bleeding dealer’.
In particular, a bleeding dealer was essential when catching a boss monster that could not die due to its incredible recovery.
Without it, you could never attack. Even if Jang Si-hwan said hundreds of people would come, it would not be possible.
‘It would be better to break the balance in advance.’
Ganghu changed his mind on the spot. Originally, I was planning to take another opportunity to strike like I did now.
My thoughts changed after seeing the calm and quick response of the solver.
It was believed that there was a high possibility of psychological cracks occurring only if an imbalance was created in his body.
In other words, it was necessary to clearly inflict damage that could not be ignored even if one wanted to ignore it.
Taaat!
Let’s snap our fingers.
【Blood Flower】
Puff Puff Puff!
A red blood flower bloomed beautifully from the fixer’s left shoulder, where blood was flowing down.
The explosion was so powerful that the muscular problem solver fluttered around like a paper doll.
Of course, Kang-hu did not just use the blood painting skill and be absorbed in it.
[Kidnapping]
Attempt to kidnap again.
However, it was blocked by the devil’s wall that the solver had built a while ago.
He threw himself behind the devil’s wall.
Since we planned the skill linkage considering that Ganghu would be blocked anyway, a second plan was immediately created.
【Illusion】
【Shadow Walk】
It was to use hallucination and shadow walk at the same time.
Although the duration of the hallucination was short at 0.2 seconds, it was an absolute trigger decision, so the problem solver had no choice but to suffer.
“Huh…!”
The momentary vision caused by the hallucination was a strange picture in which the world seemed to be melting like ice cream.
Thanks to this, I wasn’t able to chase all the shadows that crossed my field of vision, and this time I missed one.
At that point, Kanghu took out an option he had been saving and had never used in practice until now.
【Management Skills】
A skill in dealings that was naturally inherited from killing Cha So-hee and stealing the constellation in the past.
It was a skill that allowed you to duplicate one of your opponent’s skills and use it with 25% efficiency.
Because it consumed so much mana and was replicating a skill recently used by the opponent, the opportunity was not easy, but the timing came.
As of now, the most recently used skill by the solver was ‘oxidation’.
It was also the best skill for copying.
Faaah!
At that moment, Ganghu moved to the shadow that the fixer had lost sight of.
【Skill – Oxidation】
Then, accurately specify the point where the solver is standing and use the oxidation skill.
He immediately jumped towards the problem solver. This is because it takes time for oxidation to kick in properly.
“joy!”
This time, the solver snorted as if he had sensed Ganghu’s approach and deployed a skill with his right hand.
A string of restraint.
This is a skill that a warlock can only obtain from a skill book, entrapping the opponent with an opaque gray-white energy.
It is a kind of trapping skill, and the duration varies depending on the anti-demon stat, but complete immunity is impossible.
As soon as Kang-hu was caught, a firework of Jin-ra, which can be said to be the signature skill of a warlock, exploded.
The deep purple flames that enveloped Ganghu’s entire body instantly ignited a series of ignitions.
If it weren’t for the fact that I had used the Level 2 Self-Defense skill beforehand, it would have been a blow that would have burned me to death right away.
Self-Defense – Thanks to the 2nd stage, the flames of Jinjin’s flame were completely nullified.
and.
Chijijijijiji!
“Aaaah!”
The oxidation skill applied over time melted the fixer’s right side and some of the internal organs within it.
It happened in an instant.
“…?”
The fixer looked down with a half-fazed expression.
This skill was an oxidation skill.
This is the level 200 basic skill you use. But that skill came back to Kanghu.
So does this mean that this assassin even has the ability to duplicate skills? I didn’t understand at all.
No matter how cautious and careful the problem solver was, he never thought that his skills would come back in reverse.
Perhaps the opponent would be a magic type, but skill duplication is not a suitable combination for an assassin at all.
The first time I was caught off guard and I had to give up my shoulder to hold on, but the second time I couldn’t turn the situation around.
Phew!
Then, Kang Hu’s extra dagger was thrown at Jeon Gwang-bido, and the strike hit again.
“C-C…”
The pain rose up from my abdomen so much that I couldn’t even properly say what I wanted to say.
The feeling of my entire body becoming very stiff was very unpleasant.
The fixer reached into his clothes pocket with his right hand and took out a white powder.
I don’t know if it was a drug or a narcotic stimulant, but it seemed to have a synergy effect with the constellation ‘Drug King’.
“That won’t work.”
Kang-hoo, who predicted the fixer’s counterattack and kept his distance, has already narrowed the distance again.
The fixer, who had been hit by blows one after another, was unable to concentrate his attention.
In addition, the dagger thrown at him with lightning speed hit his right shoulder, effectively disabling both arms.
Losing control of both arms, which are important for a warlock’s fine control, is like a death sentence.
Whirling! Sigh!
Easy profit! Sigh!
Kang Hu kept a reasonable distance and threw another dagger in quick succession.
Kang-hu clearly had a way to land a meaningful blow from a distance without having to close the distance.
“Wow. Huh. Ugh….”
Every time a dagger was inserted, the fixer took a step back, barely able to control his body’s balance.
But twice.
When the third dagger hit, it ended up falling backwards. I didn’t have the wherewithal to hold on.
Coo!
“Cough!”
The fixer, who was unable to hold on properly and hit his head, spewed out dark red blood from his mouth.
My entire abdomen was in a state of tattered rags, so my body could not hold on.
Toouk.
The bag of white powder that the solver could not eat fell to the floor.
Ganghu looked down pitifully and said.
“Reporting is the answer for mulberry dealers. “It was 125.”
“Ugh! Huh…”
That was the end.
The solver suffered a heart attack due to unbearable shock and died on the spot.
As befits his first appearance, he had a smile on his face like a crazy person.
“It’s not a pig’s head for ancestral rites, so anyone who sees it will think it died happily.”
Phew!
To confirm, Kang-hu plunged the dagger into the solver’s heart.
Although it is 99% certain that he is dead, there are cases where crazy people like this wake up temporarily and then die again.
In the expression of hunters, it is called ‘the back end’, and this was often the case with warlock-type hunters.
One by one, the four constellations came into Ganghu’s arms.
It is also a moment when I feel once again how great the dimension stealer’s abilities are.
Because there is no one other than Dimension Stealer who has the ability to steal another hunter’s contract constellation without loss.
It was not for nothing that Ganghu placed her in the main constellation. Because there is no better alternative.
Apocalypse – The constellation abilities of the darkness are also less rare and versatile than those of the Dimension Stealer.
【Guardian of the Dark Sanctuary】
【Gives the ability to convert 25 magic power into Dark Age 1. It is possible to create Dark Age 1 in just one minute.】
“It may feel like a mountain of dust gathered together, but is this the way to open the Dark Age? “It’s a truly unexpected case.”
Dark Age is a stat that will have great value in the future. It’s also a stat that almost doesn’t exist for other hunters.
If you steal the Dark Age skills and configure them, you will find many useful uses.
【Fallen Prophet】
【Instead of completely erasing emotions, it increases a specific stat by 100.】
“This can be non-selected, so hold off for now.”
There is a difference between feeling worn out and having no emotions at all.
Even though Kang-hu had cold parts, he wanted to be warm in some way.
A minimum amount of emotion is needed. A life without joys and sorrows is so dull and uninteresting.
【Drug King】
【When inhaling or ingesting narcotic drugs, combat efficiency gradually increases up to level 10.】
“It’s a constellation exclusively for narcotics. “Isn’t it right to expel this kind of constellation from the Great Crusade?”
I laughed out loud.
It’s a constellation that maximizes combat power in exchange for drugs, but if you stick to this concept, your contract will be short-lived.
Maybe the drug lord constellation doesn’t want its contractors to live long.
【Woman of Light】
【Additional experience buffs are provided according to the number of the day of each month.】
“It’s fun.”
Even the constellation of the Lady of Light.
I acquired four unique constellations.
A battle with an unexpected solver. In this way, Kanghu created another turning point.
