The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 157

Episode 157 Skill Harvest (1)

‘Does my opponent have to kill me too?’

【I and the pure black hypocrite are enemies. For that reason, the same test is given to his contractor.】

‘So you’re saying the other person also knows me?’

【Hehe. You look at me so insignificantly. Not really. At least he won’t know of your existence until you face him directly.】

‘Then, please tell me the other person’s information. This will be the most basic information for the exam.’

【Will you take the test?】

‘Of course.’

Ganghu nodded.

It is not another constellation, but a test to gain more power as a seeker of pure darkness. There is no reason to give up.

With Ganghu’s consent, the pure black seeker displayed the face and name information of the target.

【Contractor Bang Seong-hoon】

‘Was it a pseudonym? Well, there’s nothing strange about it.’

The appearance of a familiar face.

The name that can be confirmed through the constellation must be the real name registered in the system and cannot be changed.

The opponent named Bang Seong-hoon was Ko Kyung-ho, currently ranked 8th in Eclipse.

The reason I recognized his face right away is because Go Kyung-ho is the most well-known face in Eclipse after Kang Dong-hyun.

Being well-known can also mean being the most trashy person.

Go Kyeong-ho was the person with the most stake in Eclipse’s numerous kidnappings and smuggling.

That’s why hunters also call Go Kyung-ho Kang Dong-hyun’s ‘action leader.’ Because I take care of all kinds of dirty work.

According to the flow of the original work, the current level would be in the late 300s.

‘For now, let’s just acknowledge it. Anyway, there is enough justification to kill a guy like Go Kyung-ho. But winning and losing are a little different.’

I decided to take a cautious approach.

This is because even though Ko Kyung-ho’s level is high, it is difficult to target him alone.

You have to plan it to some extent and see when you can hit it. You also have to be prepared to encounter the escort.

Of course, the motivation was clear.

Since Eclipse itself is a group of evildoers, it will also serve as a means of justice.

Furthermore, if you pass the pure black seeker’s test, the pure black hypocrite constellation will also be taken away.

【There is no need to rush. Do it when you feel like it. I will just wait and watch with a happy heart.】

‘I remembered it clearly.’

Eclipse’s 8th ranked Go Kyung-ho.

The first hunter who received a ‘murder request’ directly from the Constellation was created. It’s not an easy opponent either.

after.

Thanks to Park Dong-jae’s concession, Kang-hu was able to take quite a few items from the fake bride.

It was more valuable because it was stolen, including all the items taken from the hunter he killed earlier.

If everything was cashed out, it felt like 35 billion won would be enough, even as a rough guess.

Among them, there were no items that Ganghu could wear, so he decided to dispose of them all as soon as he left the dungeon.

However, Park Dong-jae was interested in a few of the items and suggested that he sell them all.

From Kang-hoo’s point of view, it is the same situation in terms of selling in the market and Park Dong-jae selling in cash.

So I handed over everything to Park Dong-jae. The price will be paid outside the dungeon, where electronic devices can be used.

Park Dong-jae wore some of those items right away.

Perhaps because his mana had increased significantly, he seemed quite satisfied.

For Kanghu, mana items are meaningless, but for buffers like Dongjae Park, they are the sweetest options.

‘If you include the sale price of this item, I think it will be approximately 175 billion won.’

When I saw my balance growing considerably, I became greedy. If you save a little more, you can create a balance of 200 billion won.

Then, you will be able to obtain two grade 2 items. You can invest in other areas.

but.

As I looked a little longer, a different thought suddenly occurred to me.

I thought it would be better to save up more and try to purchase a level 1 item.

It’s a matter of choice.

Do you aim to upgrade all items in your body to level 2, or do you aim for one certain weapon?

As Kang-hu was happily thinking about it, he thought of a number of different cases.

It didn’t seem like the conclusion would come as quickly as I thought.

Some time after that.

Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae, who had been diligently searching for the middle boss monster, were finally able to find their target.

The guy named Rupes was a monster whose entire body was as hard as a rock.

It felt like a moving stone statue. Another expression, ‘stone golem’, seemed to be a more suitable description.

“brother. Why don’t we just ignore him and move on? “I don’t think you can even make a wound with a dagger?”

“I’m disappointed, Park Dong-jae.”

“huh? ah! It’s not that I’m ignoring you, it’s that I think I’m being picky! “I absolutely did not ignore my brother!”

“Then I’m even more disappointed.”

“Ugh….”

“You can’t break a rock. “It breaks it.”

Park Dong-jae tilted his head at the sight of Kang-hoo smiling strangely.

Park Dong-jae’s reaction was typical. That’s why Kang-hoo reacted in a playful way on purpose.

There are three main types of monsters that hunters avoid. The best among them were stone statues.

Basically, this is because it has the characteristic that physical attacks do not work well.

Of course, if the level is low, there are many cases where it cannot withstand the attack and breaks.

However, in cases like Rupes that are classified as boss monsters, the story is completely different.

Even if you pierce it, it won’t break through, and even if you stab it, it won’t break. Something that explodes or breaks? It’s close to impossible.

That’s why Park Dong-jae suggested that we not lose our strength and find someone else.

“Trust me. Keep a sufficient distance and only assist. “I’ll take care of the rest.”

“okay.”

“Goes.”

Kanghu immediately rushed towards Rupes.

Lupes, who recognized the approach, glared at Ganghu and immediately raised both arms forward as if guarding him.

Next moment.

Seeing!

‘Intuition’, one of the perks received from the wilderness strategist, was activated.

It was an intuition that I had a lot of fun with when dealing with Jeungseonrak and a multinational mercenary force.

At the time, I was able to recognize the sniper’s shot in advance and avoid it, so I was able to avoid getting hit even once.

That method has now been applied to Rupes.

There was a process of designating a target before the guy punched with force. It is a kind of true aim.

‘I guess I can find a faster way than Plan A.’

Ganghu, who had his own strategy, recognized Rupes’ characteristics and modified his plan.

and.

Huh!

I easily dodged Lupes’ punch that flew through space in an instant by moving using acceleration.

Rather than using a separate quick dodge or lateral movement skill, he avoided it by moving his body directly.

Now that the acceleration buff and selfish indulgence were applied, this type of ultra-fast evasive maneuver was possible.

Although a lot of weight would be placed on the body, it was enough pressure to withstand in the early stages of the battle.

Rupes’ eyes instantly turned red. It was a look in his eyes that made him feel like he was on drugs.

As he entered the battle, Kang Hu, aware of the state of the surrounding terrain, immediately began manning.

While continuing to dodge and avoid Rupes’ special punch attacks.

Using illusion magic, the illusion was scattered in all directions and immediately dismantled, creating a smokescreen effect.

As a result, our peripheral vision continued to be obscured by a hazy smoke screen, and we were able to focus on each other a little more.

Rupes’ body movements were slower than Kanghu thought.

So, the attacks aimed at Ganghu repeatedly failed, and as the enemy got stronger, he attacked more aggressively.

Avoid, avoid, avoid again.

Kanghu’s body, which seemed to be touching but couldn’t, made Rupes’ anger rise to its peak.

It’s like the feeling you get when you see a mosquito right in front of you that was fluttering in your ear just a moment ago, but you can’t catch it.

Rupes, so excited by the hunt that he could not possibly give up, launched himself with the intention of attacking Ganghu.

Crushing him to death with his huge body, which is several times the size of Kang-hu’s. It was a logical choice for Rupes.

But there was a problem.

This was because there was a cliff in the field of view that was obscured by a smoke screen.

It was the end of Ganghu’s path of movement that he had been constantly blocking using the smokescreen of illusionism from the moment he entered the battle.

Chichichichiit!

Rupes, who managed to keep both legs on the ground, tried to somehow slow down his body.

Unfortunately, Kanghu, who caught the back with a lateral move at the right time, crashed into Rupes with all his might.

Coo!

That was the end.

Lupes, who was already unable to control his unstable center of gravity, was pushed back even by the slightest shock.

What remains is empty space with nowhere to step.

Just like that, Rupes fell from a very high cliff and died instantly without even seeing anything.

As Kang-hu said, it broke itself. It was also a carefully calculated ‘suicide’.

A list of skills to be stolen from the dead Rupes was printed out, and the choice was made immediately.

【Petrification】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】

【Consumes 10 mana per second to temporarily change the front part of the body into a solid stone form.

However, while the change is maintained, the movement speed is reduced to 10% of the original level.】

【Additional durability can be obtained in proportion to the tenacity stat and has a basic physical resistance of 15%.】

Looking at the detailed tooltip, there is a protective barrier. It was judged to be much more durable.

Moreover, although the movement speed was limited, it did not mean that the spatial movement skill was suppressed.

In other words, skills such as quick evasion or leaping can be linked to any number of skills.

It is also possible to use the entire body, which has greatly increased defense, as a shield and rush at the enemy with determination.

‘An assassin can openly tank? Really… I think it’s a terrible hybrid.’

I laughed out loud.

Actually, I was laughing because I was in a really good mood.

In Kang-hu’s opinion, the key keyword for an assassin was to appear, return, and change. In that respect

, I was convinced

that being able to change like a chameleon, taking advantage of all the strengths of other occupations… was a huge strength.

It is the best option to break common sense and predictions and create variables, and is even more destructive to the opponent.

“I’m sorry bro! “I left too late, so I couldn’t monopolize the experience points, bro.”

“are you okay. It’s natural because we didn’t share the strategy. “There wasn’t enough time to notify you.”

“It’s really awesome! “He’s my brother, so I’m giving him this incentive. If it were me, I would have peed on the edge of the cliff a long time ago.”

“These guys are the type that has difficulty controlling and braking their bodies. So once it starts, it’s not easy to stop.”

“I’m so embarrassed that I told myself to avoid it.”

“Watch carefully. There is no monster that cannot be caught. “If you think hard about the method, the answer will definitely come out.”

“Respect! Respect itself!”

Park Dong-jae showed his thumbs up with both fingers towards Kang-hoo.

It was not possible to collect the loot from Rupes who had fallen.

However, for Ganghu, simply obtaining the skill ‘Petrification’ was a significant achievement.

It seemed like there would be many uses of the petrification skill for various purposes in the future. It has very high strategic value.

after.

Kang-hoo continued to move forward with Park Dong-jae and hunted two more middle boss monsters.

The two skills added were also highly valuable skills, like the skills previously obtained from Rupes.

【Solid nesting】

【Survival instinct】

That was it.

It was a good year for skills.
