Episode 160 Skill Harvest (4)
One of Turbo’s unique features was that he knew how to use lateral movement.
It was also a feature that Kang-hu, who watched the battle earlier, recognized right away, so it was within the expected range.
However, on the contrary, there was something that Turbo did not know. Kang Hu also knows how to use lateral movement.
“Huh…?”
Turbo was surprised to see Ganghu’s back, which he could not see even though he had clearly moved behind him.
Since we used a lateral movement that moves behind the target, it is normal to see his back.
But there was nothing where Ganghu should have been.
Sigh! Puff! Sigh! Sigh!
“Kaaaa!”
A lot happened in a split second.
Turbo was helpless when Ganghu attacked from behind, which he had never expected.
I was attacked so many times in an instant that I felt a burning sensation from the back of my neck to my waist.
“Cluck! After all, it’s Kanghu hyung!”
Park Dong-jae, who was watching the situation, shouted.
This was because it was refreshing to recall Turbo’s ridicule as he responded to Ganghu’s attack with a lateral movement.
Isn’t that right?
Turboda even snorted, feeling like he could easily dodge your attacks.
However, I was relieved to see that Hoesim’s evasive maneuver was discovered by Kang-hu’s identical response.
Turbo’s lateral movement ended up being a waste of time.
It was no longer possible to even compete head-to-head. There is no loss like this.
The good news among the misfortunes was that Turbo made Kanghu fall back during the giant slalom.
“Ugh… Ugh!”
Turbo was so angry that he hit the ground with his fist with all his might.
This is also one of Turbo’s skills that Kanghu figured out earlier, and is a skill called ground strike.
It is a technology that levitates the target in the air with a time difference, and since the projectile can be seen flying, it is possible to respond as much as possible.
“….”
Ganghu did not move and waited for the ground slam projectile to fly.
This guy has a tracking guidance ability, so avoiding it in advance is meaningless. Rather, it only consumes stamina.
Kuddddd!
The ground strike, shaking the dirt and rocks along the ground, was about to hit Ganghu.
Phew!
I responded neatly using my quick evasion skill. After seeing and avoiding it, there was absolutely no reason not to avoid it.
‘As expected, since we pay attention to the appearance and only focus on patterns, the response method becomes simple.’
Ganghu looked satisfied.
This type of approach was also the method often used by Takashi Akiyama in the original work.
Among the theories he advocated was the ‘pattern theory of all things.’
There is no monster you can’t defeat as long as you know the pattern. Even if the level difference is severe.
The facts Takashi presented as evidence may sound somewhat absurd, but they were very persuasive to Kanghu.
The basis for this was the fact that the creator of this world would not have painstakingly sculpted all the main boss monsters.
It was also a term referring to the creator of this world, that is, the original author himself.
Of course, since Takashi did not live his life knowing that he was a character in a novel…
he was sincerely discussing the Creator. In the end, Takashi’s prediction was correct.
First of all, I saved blood.
It was judged that the accumulated damage to Turbo was still insufficient to send it in one hit.
Meanwhile.
Coo! Pow!
Pooh wow! Phew!
The attacks linked by the wizard and archer hit Turbo one after another.
Turbo, who was completely preoccupied with Kanghu, lost his balance and stumbled without a plan.
It was an opportunity that came again.
“after!”
Turbo, who saw Ganghu approaching with his hot breath, stretched out his fist again.
Push!
But this time it was self-immolation.
Turbo, who momentarily lost sight of Ganghu’s location, ended up wasting his mind in a faraway place.
Turbo was imprinted with fear as his lateral movement was detected and he completely lost his rear.
So, I entered into a large slalom pattern again with the intention of blocking Ganghu’s approach.
This is because they thought that by doing this, they could at least threaten to drive out Ganghu.
Perhaps because he gritted his teeth and responded, Kang Hu also revised his plan to get closer.
This is because he casts a large spin that creates much more projectiles than before. It seemed like an enhanced version.
Shadow walk was used appropriately.
I was able to easily change the location by using a shadow that had been sent to the back.
The situation caused all the remaining shadows to approach Turbo.
Since they were all shadows anyway, it didn’t matter if they were all hit and disappeared. There was nothing to regret.
However, Turbo seemed to be concerned about Ganghu’s shadow and increased his rotation speed even more.
‘then.’
【Skill of Life – Ground Strike】
Calculation comes first.
The situation was that the ground slam skill used by Turbo had been temporarily copied as a way of dealing with the situation.
Kanghu returned the ground slam to Turbo, who was overreacting to the shadow.
Turbo, who was too preoccupied with the rotation, was unaware of his copying skill that flew along the ground.
Next moment.
Kuddddd!
The ground slam skill soon reached Turbo.
“Wow!”
Turbo’s body floated upward. At the same time, it goes without saying that his giant slalom skills were lacking.
at that time.
Kanghu identified one shadow that narrowly survived in the giant slalom pattern.
Direct location change!
Then, Ganghu’s position in the distance instantly changed to Turbo’s side. It was the best location.
【Thunder Shock】
Ganghu unleashed a lightning shock that would coolly envelop Turbo’s entire body in the air with electric current.
Absolutely!
Then, basking in the pleasure of electric current, he approached Turbo and slashed his body.
Since he was a strong man who was completely unaffected by the lightning shock he created, the current did not interfere at all.
Eventually, a massive beheading occurred.
Pooh wow!
“Shut up…!”
Hell has begun.
Not only was Turbo’s entire back and loins tattered, blood was flowing freely from his stomach, which had been exposed by the massive decapitation.
This was the first lightning strike I used against a boss monster after upgrading from the wind strike.
I didn’t have very high expectations because the existing windbreaker had some shortcomings in dealing with boss monsters.
“Good?”
The effect was better than expected.
The frequency of occurrence of electric current was overwhelmingly high, and above all, the additional damage caused by penetrating into the wound was significant.
The hard, dry outer skin does not suffer much damage even when exposed to electric current, but the moist inner skin is a different story.
This is especially true when the things that make up it are blood vessels, muscles, and numerous organs.
“Udd! “Ugh!”
Even after Turbo fell from the air, he couldn’t help his unruly body and trembled.
Blood was constantly gushing out from the wounds on his body. It’s like looking at a water balloon with a hole in it.
There was nothing more to drag on.
【Blood Flower】
Ganghu activated a skill that best suited the current Turbo.
and.
Puff puff poop! pop! pop!
Turbo’s body, which had become a living bomb, exploded without mercy, ending his life.
Considering the confident start, it was a miserable ending.
【The level has increased significantly to 170.】
Ganghu’s level has risen sharply after gaining a large amount of experience.
In addition, skill theft has been activated.
Experienced ground slams and giant slaloms were included in the list of skills, but were excluded from selection.
Ground slam was a skill that did not suit Kanghu well because it took time to hit the target.
Giant slalom was excluded from the heist for the same reason that Sammy’s skills were not stolen before.
So the skill I finally chose was pushback.
It was decided to steal the characteristic passive skill that Turbo used in conjunction with the giant slalom attack.
【Push】
【Skill: Lv. Max】
【Adds pushing force to attacks that throw projectiles or objects.
However, when deactivated, strength is not added.】
【The current list of skills to which the target can apply pushback is as follows.】
【Lightning Rain. Black Moon Cham. 】 ‘ Okay .
It has very high utility value as it can break the opponent’s balance and disorient it by pushing away.’
It was a skill I liked.
Skills that can create variables are always welcome.
Moreover, you don’t have to worry about the pushing process, but the skill characteristics take care of it for you.
This was a very useful option. It’s too much of an option to only have for monsters like Turbo.

Afterwards, a follow-up was carried out.
As secretly promised in advance, the roles of Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae were divided into devil and angel respectively.
Park Dong-jae carefully checked the physical condition of the three hunters who helped him.
Kanghu crossed his arms and looked at them fiercely.
This is because the story about the loot that came from killing Turbo has not been concluded.
Contrary to Kang-hu’s expectations that they might think differently later, they responded immediately.
“I have no intention of being greedy at the scene of death and resurrection. “We are satisfied that some of the experience has been shared.”
The three hunters spoke almost at the same time, without even knowing who said first.
Prosecutor Hunter, who was severely injured, also regained some of his strength thanks to the potion brought by Park Dong-jae.
Everyone had wounds big and small, but none were serious enough to be called serious injuries.
“It was a really great battle. “This is the first time I’ve seen an assassin ravage a boss monster like this.”
“Plus, I actually tanked one-on-one without receiving assistance from other classes.”
The wizard, archer and hunter each spoke about what they felt.
To be honest, I felt a sense of shame.
Kanghu took down the boss monster that the three of them had been struggling with all by himself.
Of course, Ganghu thought that Park Dong-jae’s constant buff support and the support of the wizard archer also played a role.
In fact, the parties involved seemed to be intoxicated by Kang-hu’s performance and thought that he had done it all on his own.
“I’m glad it ended without any trouble. “I will be grateful for the loot.”
Kanghu answered calmly.
As the story about the loot ended without conflict, the atmosphere became much more comfortable.
In fact, in the world of hunters, it is not uncommon for something like this to become the seed of further conflict.
Even if you help or receive help, you become so preoccupied with profit that you forget gratitude and become confrontational.
at that time.
Kanghu looked at the three hunters’ epaulettes that looked slightly familiar and then asked.
“Which guild do you belong to?”
“All three of us belong to the Spitfire Guild. “Do you know anything about the British Spitfire Guild?”
I thought I could hear a British accent in the conversation, but as expected, it was from there.
He was a strong man who could not have known about the Spitfire Guild.
The Spitfire Guild is the place that gave me the gold card that I am currently using with a limit of 2 billion won per month.
“I know very well. Because this is the place that gave me this. “This is a guild that has become a precious connection to me.”
Kanghu naturally took out a gold card from his wallet and showed it.
It was a meaningful item handed over to him personally by Master Garnier of the Spitfire Guild.
That moment.
“Wow… you received this?”
Surprise appeared on the three hunters’ faces.
This is the moment to prove that this man in front of you means a lot to the guild master.
He was not an ordinary person.
