The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 170

Episode 170: Mystery Dungeon (1)

* * *

That time.

Takashi was receiving a call from Rikou Guild.

Because he was answering the phone using a voice modulator, his voice was quite funny.

It was exactly the kind of voice that an informant with his face covered on a current affairs reporting program would make.

However, his altered voice and cheerfulness are different from his sad alter ego.

Takashi’s expression was more serious than ever as he was concentrating on the phone.

The deeply sunken dark circles further highlighted his gloom.

He glanced at the huge tower of paper coffee cups, unable to tell how many cups were piled up there.

I started answering the phone call I had been hearing all along.

“A hunter named Shin Kang-hoo wants to meet me.”

– you’re right. He’s a hunter I’ve always wanted to meet, and he said he wanted to get the chance this time.

“I’m a hunter who has no idea who I am.”

– That’s why I’m asking you carefully.

Takashi scratched his thick head. And I opened the laptop I had kept right next to me.

Crack. widely. widely.

As his fingers move quickly, Kang-hoo’s name is entered and information is searched.

You are not searching on a portal site, but rather using a program built separately by Takashi.

In an instant, data related to Ganghu was printed and some interesting news was confirmed.

“Hmm.”

– How do you feel? We will pay any fees related to the meeting.

“The Rikou Guild is paying for the meeting requested by the Shin Gangfu Hunter… It’s a bit interesting, isn’t it?”

– Because he’s a pretty important guest.

“I made money. Let’s meet first. “Meeting new people is always fun.”

– All right. Regarding the schedule, I will ask again and confirm it at that time. thank you

“is it so. take care.”

The call has ended.

Takashi carefully looked at the information about Kanghu.

He was a hunter who was involved in a few unusual incidents, but they didn’t seem to be that big of a deal.

Is it to the extent of being involved in an incident or accident that could become an issue? The Ricou Guild was not a hunter who would take a low-key stance.

If that’s the case, he’s probably close to a guild official, or someone involved owes him his or her life…

“The latter.”

I had a vague guess.

Anyway, I thought he must be a special person as the guild had never given preferential treatment to just anyone.

but.

“I don’t know what you want to do with me.”

Takashi was curious about that.

What is there to do with oneself who already has a bad public image?

So much so that he wanted to cross the ocean and come to Japan in person to talk.

Minor questions can be resolved through Hunter Gram’s secure message or personal email.

“Well, there’s no need for me to warm up first. The thirsty guy should dig a well first, right? “But the water…”

I was talking about being thirsty, but there was no water in the cup. When I opened the refrigerator, I saw that the bottled water I had earlier was the last one.

“Haa…”

Takashi sighed.

The self-immolation is still in Korea.

He had to go out to buy bottled water…

Takashi was as afraid of interacting with people as he was of seeing cockroaches.

However, this place is far from downtown or the city center, so courier service or delivery is not possible.

“Tap water….”

I thought I would have to quench my thirst in another way if I was in a hurry.

Since I don’t have an alter ego, I can’t be this uncomfortable.

* * *

Late at night, Kang-hoo met Park Dong-jae as planned.

It was after I had finished my conversation with Jeon Se-hyuk. It seemed like I would have to collaborate with him soon.

The target is Eclipse.

Jeon Se-hyuk was thinking of boldly targeting one of Eclipse’s hideouts.

Among them, there was a place connected to ‘Go Kyeong-ho’, who was also the target of Ganghu’s pursuit.

“brother! “Why are you so busy?”

“What are you busy with? “I came much earlier than the scheduled time.”

“No, when I messaged you earlier, I was told that Sehyuk was meeting his brother. “Didn’t you say Busan just before that?”

“It was a good use of my time.”

“When I look at you, it feels like you divide time into minutes and seconds and use them like a knife. “I heard you’re scared sometimes?”

“I’m glad it happens sometimes.”

Kang-hu chuckled.

It was right to try not to waste time as much as possible.

Because there is still a lot to do and many goals to pursue.

“Cha So-hyuk. That person is still in Daejeon. “I don’t think I can pinpoint your location properly.”

“Since I have a connection with the Cheongan mercenary group, it looks like they are trying to spread a blanket there.”

He remembered the Gunner twin brothers who had died by his own hands a while ago.

They must have been in a similar situation.

I wouldn’t have been able to find myself narrowing down to a specific region as I had no affiliation that covers the whole country.

In that case, the contact point that is most often made is the mercenary group Cheongan. In other words, the scope is reduced to Daejeon.

That is why they are encamped in Daejeon like that.

Cha So-hee received all-round support from the Eclipse Guild and information sharing from other organizations.

However, Cha So-hyuk cannot expect that much, so it is highly likely that he will continue to suffer day and night for the time being.

“Because he has low sensitivity, it is not difficult to collect information. “Leave the marking to me, bro.”

“Did you close your eyes?”

“hmm. I got it cheap. don’t worry. “There’s no need for you to bear the burden.”

“Thank you for this and that.”

“I have a long way to go before I can repay the price of my life. Let’s work hard to pay it back!”

Kang-hu liked Park Dong-jae’s humility, which was far from being a public official.

Maybe if I had told him that I was doing this for my brother, he would have thought differently.

The true value of a person comes from the smallest details. In that sense, Park Dong-jae was a very good guy.

“What about the dungeon?”

“Secure is complete. All you have to do is move. “Just take a quick test before you go?”

“Is there a space like that near the dungeon?”

“huh. I’ve got everything ready. It’s not like you’re feeling pressured or anything, right? “I thought his expression was a little stiff.”

“There is no pressure, but I am curious about what kind of people they are.”

Hunters belonging to a famous guild.

This guild, famous for gathering only a small number of elites, was stronger than expected.

Eclipse’s hunters, who are said to rush at each other without hesitation, never touch a member of a famous guild.

The first rule is that even if you mess with just one guild member, all guild members will chase you to hell and take revenge!

Because it is well known, no one would think of harming a member of a famous guild.

There were cases where people took advantage of this and impersonated members of a famous guild.

In this case, he had to take revenge more cruelly than messing with the famous guild.

First of all, the basic configuration was ‘missing’.

Since impersonating the famous guild, not a single hunter has reappeared in the world.

“Let’s go right away, bro. “Everyone is waiting.”

“Dongjae, you worked hard. “Thanks to you, I can go to the mystery dungeon like this.”

“Of course I’m going because I deserve to go. Let’s go! “Everyone is waiting for the main character!”

* * *

The location of the mystery dungeon was hidden in a much more secret place than Ganghu thought.

It was the basement of an old apartment building that was abandoned after the construction company went bankrupt during completion.

Because construction was halted during construction, it was visible only through a crack in a collapsed wall in the basement.

Rather than the process of getting there, I’m more curious about how they knew that the dungeon entrance was here.

And as Park Dong-jae said, there was an empty lot near the apartment that was suitable for skill demonstration.

Three hunters from the famous guild had already arrived at the scene. This is the group that will be with you today.

The three people facing Kang-hu each spoke to each other while making clear statements.

“hello. “My name is Jang Tae-jin, the younger brother of Guild Master Jang Seon-yeong and a Qigong practitioner.”

“This is Shin Kang-hoo.”

Qigongsu.

This is a profession that has dealt with Jeungseonrak before.

The roots of Qigongsu begin in China. If so, it could be the case that Taejin Jang went to China to study.

After looking at the constellation information, I found that it consisted of a contract that was helpful in utilizing the energy according to the characteristics of the Qigongsu.

“hello. My name is Choi Ho-soo. “I was building up my strength beforehand, so I’m a little out of shape.”

“This is Shin Kang-hoo. “You look great.”

The next person to say hello was Hosu Choi. Although the occupations were not introduced, it was enough to just look at them.

He was a werewolf.

It seemed like he would probably play a tank role in this team composition. The large body already suggests so.

And last.

“hello? My name is Yeonsu-ah. “He’s a shaman.”

“This is Shin Kang-hoo. “This is my first time seeing a shaman class.”

“Ho Ho. “It’s not that common… is it?”

A woman named Yeonsua was a shaman.

Qigongsu werewolf shaman.

These are all classes that are rarely seen. It was never dealt with in depth in the original work.

I heard there is such a class… but it was just a passing explanation. It was not dealt with in detail.

The composition was good.

If those three players add Park Dong-jae, there will be no problem with close and long-range attacks.

The shaman acts as a buffer debuffer and is also responsible for long-distance attacks with various spells.

Here, the Gongsu fills in the lacking burst damage position with a powerful one-shot attack.

If the werewolf takes charge of tanking and engages in close-range combat, the gap completely disappears.

‘It looks like Dongjae sold me hard.’

Kang-hoo looked at Dong-jae Park, who had a proud expression on his face.

The guy was busy looking around the dungeon, probably already excited.

Looking at the situation, I didn’t say that I invited Kang-hu because I really needed him.

Park Dong-jae seemed to have called out of curiosity, as he had mentioned Kang-hoo’s charms enthusiastically.

In any case, the reality is that even skilled assassins are difficult to find.

Since it also has utility as a bleeding dealer, they probably thought it was a good additional option.

Everyone’s reaction was favorable.

The three people’s next words were, as expected, about the first news that people who found out about Kang Hu heard.

The incident with Eclipse certainly seemed to have solidified its appeal in a good way.

Sooner or later, once I have a cool sword dance with Jeon Se-hyuk, my name will rise further in that direction.

The praise he heard so hard was repeated over and over again, so Kang-hu just started to let it go.

It was not because I belittled their praise, but because the content repertoire was so similar.

After such a pleasant time of recognition was over.

Ganghu, who took a seat in the middle of the clearing, grabbed a dagger and got ready to demonstrate his skills.

Park Dong-jae said.

“brother! How are you going to demonstrate? “Do you want me to help you?”

“are you okay. It’s right to show it as it is. “You don’t always have the buff on.”

Kang Hu shook his head.

In order for the opponent to accurately evaluate the skill, there should be no additional conditions attached.

Kanghu wanted to be evaluated by them based on his skills.

He then added:

“I will connect all the skills I will use at once and keep going. “Please pay attention.”

Taejin Jang, Hosoo Choi, Suah Yeon, and Dongjae Park all focused their attention on Kanghu.

According to Park Dong-jae’s expression, he is an assassin who ‘does everything himself.’

They wanted to check with their own eyes whether the packaging was really foam or proper packaging.

They were well over level 400 and were also hunters who had experienced many hardships and battles.

There were sufficient grounds to judge and evaluate someone calmly. And of course, Ganghu was no exception.
