The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 173

Episode 173: Mystery Dungeon (4)

* * *

The battle began immediately.

In the first place, there is no strategy for conquering the Mystery Dungeon as its internal structure changes every time you enter.

So, I had no choice but to accumulate data while conducting exploration battles, and that was the beginning of the attack strategy.

Shaaaang!

As soon as he started, Falx swung his scythe wide and created a huge sword wind towards Ganghu and his group.

As the sword wind, which closely resembled the shape of a scythe, split the space, the space itself began to split.

Not only was the shape of a sickle created, but a space twisted along the shape was created.

Jang Tae-jin and Yeon Su-ah each began a standard response by using defensive skills.

It was impossible to launch an offensive without knowing what kind of guy Falks was.

Coo! Coooooo!

The flying sword wind immediately shattered Jang Tae-jin’s Qigong steel wall and even attacked Yeon Su-a’s defensive force field.

Even Choi Ho-soo, who usually hits with his body first, held back this time.

If the power is not measured accurately, you may end up accidentally killing yourself while trying to hit it with your body.

But Kang Hu’s response was different.

As soon as it started, Falx, who created a sword storm, moved in the direction of an unidentified device.

【Soul Tracker】

【Traces the target ‘Falx’.】

【Complete tracking is possible within a 1km radius. This is possible even in absolute stealth.】

I used the soul tracker constellation that I stole from brothers Choi Jin-ho and Choi Jin-su a while ago.

It was not a constellation ability that could only be used once on a target, nor was it an ability that could be used twice against monsters.

Taaat!

Falx pressed the button with his fingertip and activated the device.

Then, in an instant, a light green energy spread in all directions, and soon a change occurred.

What was previously thought to be just a rock-shaped structure decorating the terrain has turned into a living, moving stone golem. It was like that. Golems were Falx’s minions.

At the same time, Falx naturally disappeared from everyone’s sight. It was definitely a stealth.

“Let’s step aside for now!”

Taejin Jang shouted.

The minions started to move, but their owner, Falx, was nowhere to be seen.

Taejin Jang searched the surroundings with all his might, but Falx’s whereabouts were unknown.

It was the same for Choi Ho-soo, who could smell the enemy in the wind, and Yeon Su-ah, who followed the enemy with the flow of spiritual energy.

All three chased after Falks’ whereabouts with all their might, but he disappeared.

“I’m really useless at times like this.”

The same goes for Park Dong-jae, who is spitting out words as if he is blaming himself. As a buffer, he had no ability to detect stealth.

But by that time, Ganghu was already running with all his might towards somewhere.

He disappeared as quietly as Falks, so much so that Park Dong-jae, who had been keeping an eye on Kang-hu’s location, missed it.

It was almost simultaneous.

At the same time as Falx disappeared somewhere in the canyon terrain, Ganghu also disappeared from sight without a trace.

“Hyung Kanghu?”

Park Dong-jae followed the flow of the buff and tried to pinpoint Ganghu’s expected location, but it was just an empty space.

In a situation where I wondered where on earth they were, powered golems began to surround the surrounding area one by one.

The surrounding situation itself was not dangerous.

This is because the rest of the party retreated back according to the situation and prevented the formation of a siege network.

The entire process was quick, standard, and in a very desirable direction to minimize risk.

Park Dong-jae has always worked hand in hand with the people of the famous guild in this atmosphere.

So, we have been steadily conquering dungeons while maximizing the benefits and minimizing the losses.

However, Kang Hu was not here.

This was something Park Dong-jae had expected before coming to the dungeon.

Because Kang-hoo is the type of person who deliberately twists his response to special situations rather than responding stably.

This was a case where he reversed an element that would have been a danger to himself and turned it into a greater danger to his opponent.

Rather than defending against an attack.

It is a way to defend against an opponent’s attack with a much more active attack. The texture was definitely different.

just as expected.

Coo!

The sound of a collision was heard from a place that Park Dong-jae and other party members had never expected.

It was somewhere in the middle of the canyon, slightly distant from the current battlefield.

The distance is quite a distance to say that it was moved in just a few seconds.

However, the main characters of the crash were none other than Kanghu and Falx.

“Kaaaaa…!”

Falx, a humanoid monster but unable to speak human language, let out a scream that sounded like boiling phlegm.

The guy was experiencing a wingless fall, fluttering his arms in the air.

The most important scythe had already been lost from his hand, so he was completely unarmed.

Of course, the situation did not go entirely unfavorable for Falks.

In the process of colliding to bring down Falks, of course Ganghu couldn’t help but get caught up in the situation.

Although there was a slight height difference between him and Falx in the air, he was also falling together.

Hiss! Shhh!

In the meantime, it was a bonus to see the effect of knocking back while repeatedly hitting Falx with the Lightning Blade.

at that time.

Paaaat! Pot!

Kanghu used the Shadow Step skill to adjust his position and prevent the fall.

One of the shadows scattered in all directions in the air settled on a rock between the rock walls of the canyon.

Kanghu took advantage of this and moved over the stone beak using the concept of intermediate braking to catch his breath for a moment.

Coooooo!

Falx’s body fell to the ground in a wingless fall, accompanied by a dull sound.

Wow!

“Kwaaaah!”

It was broken in a few places.

The most seriously fractured area was the knee.

The left knee was completely bent outward. It’s folded so neatly that it makes you doubt your eyes.

It was the best situation to push Falks.

However, due to the golems continuing to increase in number, the party except Ganghu were stranded.

‘I was too active.’

Kanghu thought as he looked at the current situation his colleagues were in.

They were looking at me with bewildered expressions.

It will happen.

You must have been wondering how they were able to immediately find Falx, who couldn’t be traced by energy or spiritual energy flow.

The guy’s hiding was very neat.

I don’t know what type of method was used, but it was clearly a concealment that would be very difficult to track.

However, thanks to the soul tracker, Ganghu was able to find the guy as easily as if he had applied a special filter.

If I had tried to follow the flow of mana alone, I would have reacted much later than I do now.

If he had done that, he would have been hit by the sword wind blown by the guy who had settled down somewhere in the shady area created by the canyon.

‘Promptly.’

Ganghu quickly approached Falx, who was groaning in pain.

Its scythe and sword wind are still threatening, and the number of golems continues to increase.

Ganghu, who used the Veil of Technique and the Martial Arts skill in succession, approached Falx’s rear.

As expected from a middle boss monster, he quickly regained his composure even while in pain.

He also appeared to be reaching for a scythe that had fallen not far away.

at that time.

Faaah!

Ganghu, who was completely hiding his presence, leapt with all his might from behind Falx and attacked him.

And without thinking too much, he plunged the dagger into the back of Falx’s neck, who could be said to be the weakest.

Phew!

“Kuhuh!”

A sound of deflating air came out of Falx’s mouth.

Falx missed Ganghu’s movements as he was watching the group fighting with his golems at the front, and ended up showing a loophole.

It was a ‘one-time’ carelessness, but it was a more fatal mistake.

Of course, Falks wasn’t suffering either.

Even though he couldn’t hold the scythe, he had enough strength to strike with his thick yet long arms.

Huh!

With the sound of cutting through the wind, Falx’s fist, which drew a semicircle, flew towards Ganghu’s face.

Kang-hoo, who had thought about buying time with other skills, including quick evasion, immediately changed direction.

Because we decided that it would be better to push the current Falks more harshly than to give them a chance to catch their breath.

so.

The option Kanghu chose was the petrification skill.

Clumping.

In the blink of an eye, Falx’s fist touched the front part of Ganghu, which had changed into a solid stone form.

Teuong!

Then, a dull sound was heard and the defense ended with Kang-hu’s body being slightly pushed back.

The shape of the stone created by petrification immediately cracked, but it had no effect on Ganghu’s body.

Immediately seizing the opportunity to counterattack, Ganghu took out another dagger from his pocket and threw a lightning strike at Falcs.

Falks successfully blocked the attack by crossing his arms.

Taang!

“Ugh!”

But what came next was the problem.

Falx’s body, exposed to the knockback effect, was pushed back and his center of gravity collapsed.

This was a gap created by Falks, who had lost one of his legs due to a knee fracture.

At that moment, Falks could see. Kang-hoo is already digging into his lower body.

At the same time, burning pain was felt everywhere, including the knees, inner thighs, and groin.

Without even having time to do anything, I gave up all the key parts of my lower body.

By the time I became aware of the situation, it was already ‘over’. Of course, it was entirely Falx’s mistake to think that the attack ended here.

That’s because there was still one more shot left. It was blood painting.

Puff puff poop!

A bloody explosion occurred.

Unlike the normal pattern of bloodshed, where the upper body where the wounds are accumulated is used as a reference point, blood is sprayed upward like firecrackers.

Falx had a deep wound on his lower body, and a lot of blood poured down instead of up.

It was such a bizarre and eerie sight that it almost looked like bleeding.

Kanghu took advantage of the moment when Falks was distracted by the shock and pain and added one more option.

Lightning strike.

It was the worst option for Falx, whose wounds became deeper and his raw flesh was exposed due to blood oxidation.

Because it was no different from electric torture on a blood-soaked lower body. Hell was before my eyes.

Absolutely!

“Kaaaaaagh!”

That was the end.

Falx, who was shocked by an unbearable amount of current throughout his lower body, foamed at the mouth and fell asleep.

Although it wasn’t enough to kill me, it was more than enough to cause me to lose my mind due to shock.

A guy who can’t even easily calculate how much time and effort he will have to put into a battle that follows the rules.

However, Kang-hoo did not let go of the variables he had created through his proactive response.

And the results were sharply different. Death and life, and even loss and compensation.

Eventually, the skill to rob Falx was activated.

There were a few other options, but Kang-hu only saw one that he didn’t need to worry about.

【Extra Senses – Weapons】

【General knowledge on basic usage and utilization of all weapons is instilled.】 【The basis

of knowledge is based on basic common sense about the weapons handled by contractors who have made contracts with the Constellations of the Great Crusade. Passive skill.】

‘Would you like to try using a scythe this time?’

Falx’s scythe has fallen without its owner. The corner of Ganghu’s mouth curled up as he glanced at it.
