The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 18

Episode 18: Skill Stealing (2)

‘It wasn’t enough for the three of them to come together and the story ended with them coming out with the title of middle boss.’

Ganghu looked at the situation calmly.

If the three defenders were really picky, they would have taken the main boss title from this dungeon.

If this is not the case, it means that there is a fatal weakness or a problem or variable inherent in the birth itself.

We opened with a welcome spell.

The five illusions that set off with Kang-hoo identified the nearest defender and rushed towards it.

Ji-ing! Jiing!

Each person went on defense using their specialized skills. The one that responded the fastest was the front defender.

Since he was able to form a shield in front based on his line of sight, his response seemed to be agile.

‘As expected.’

The slowest to respond was the rear defender.

Since there is a shield behind your back, you cannot respond directly.

Up!

Kanghu prepared to charge, holding the solarium he had taken out of his inner pocket tightly between his lips.

This is because I think excessive use of mana in the middle is essential to see the results from the moment you take a step.

Puff! pop!

Illusions exploded here and there, creating a smokescreen.

Distinguishing between the real and the fake is a headache, but even if you guess the fake, you end up with a smokescreen.

The 3-second smoke effect was enough for Ganghu to close the distance between him and the defender and target one guy.

Ganghu continued to create illusions and persistently targeted only the ‘side defenders’.

The front and rear defenders were not even paid attention to so thoroughly that they could be said to be ignored.

Is that why?

Let the side defenders block Ganghu’s onslaught with all their might and hold on again and again.

The front and rear defenders thought that the battle flow had become one to some extent and acted aggressively.

Because it was a joint attack by big guys, Ganghu never gave a picture of the attacks colliding head-on.

Instead, it steadily moved laterally around the body of the side defender and changed its position.

This is because once you go back and hide, the two who were trying to attack together will have no choice but to reset their goals.

In the case of monsters that do not have the concept of ‘caution’, they attack harshly even if their compatriots suffer damage.

For example, you might slap a colleague as quickly as possible to catch a bug on his or her face.

They are not careful because they try to stick to the proposition of eliminating bugs rather than the pain of their colleagues.

But the Defender trio was different. We were careful with each other, and paradoxically, we missed a few opportunities.

Kanghu continued to dodge and dodge, exploiting the gaps in the side defenders.

Perhaps because the company was clearly solid and had the support of two colleagues, it was not easy to see any loopholes.

at that time.

Even during the battle, a gap in the rear defender, which had been steadily keeping an eye on it, was discovered.

The gauntlets he was wearing were slightly warped, and he was adjusting them by touching his wrist.

In fact, it was a very brief adjustment process that may not have been a big deal, but to Kang-hu, it seemed like a clear hole.

Kang-hoo’s body, which momentarily jumped to the side instead of to the front, instantly touched the rear defender.

Because the distance was so close, Ganghu was caught up to him as if he was teleporting at the same time as he leapt.

[Bleeding stab]

Push shot! Fu shoot! Phew!

Ganghu quickly plunged a bleeding stab into his shoulder.

Perhaps because it was a more enhanced type of stabbing skill, it felt like the dagger was digging deep.

“100 million! Oh my! 100 million!”

Even as he was groaning, the rear defender’s arms approached, aiming for Kang-hu’s body.

In the first place, it was attached as if Ganghu was hanging from his upper body, so there was room for him to be caught easily.

However, at that point, Ganghu had already moved behind him using a lateral movement.

Add one more drink to it.

【Vision Robbery】

【Shallow Chaos】

A series of constellation skills that disrupt the sensory system were unleashed.

Kaduk!

Kanghu chewed the solachium stem without any regrets.

This was because it was clear that the feeling would slowly rise from now on as the mana was exploding explosively.

“Wow…!”

The rear defender, who had lost both vision and sense of space, waved his arms around without being able to figure out where to turn.

It actually became poison to me.

This is because it blocked the path so that the other two colleagues could not easily access it.

It was an opportunity for Kanghu.

Wow!

Kang-hoo boldly climbed onto the back of the Defender’s neck and used both shoulders as a foothold.

and.

“Kaaaaaaak!”

After placing both fingers on his left and right eyes. I just stabbed my eye out. It was torn down and dug up.

“Eyes are not steel.”

Kanghu put more pressure on his hands.

No matter how powerful a monster is, one of its most vulnerable parts is its eyes.

Of course, when you reach a high level, you often see cases where the eyes themselves have a strengthened ‘membrane’.

Dungeons below level 100 were not at the level where such ‘high-end’ monsters would appear.

Puff puff! Puff!

Kang-hu continued to insert more bleeding stabs.

Then, 10 stacks piled up in an instant, creating the foundation for a unique bleeding effect.

Shaaa!

‘also.’

The ‘Competition Suit’, which helps Defender recover in time, was activated. It was a super-fast recovery mechanism.

But this is where the bleeding shines. The competition uniform was disabled.

A higher level monster than here would have ignored this and achieved a certain amount of recovery…

Unfortunately, the Defenders were not of that high spec. The limits were clear.

“Huh!”

The rear defender sighed. He looked very frustrated when his trusted competition uniform came to naught.

in between.

Ganghu turned the dagger towards Defender’s eye, where blood was already flowing freely, and pulled it with all his strength.

“······!”

That was the end.

【Skills that can be stolen from a target for whom Robbery is activated are as follows.】

【Rear Defense Skill】

【If you acquire the Front Defense Skill and the Side Defense Skill, they are combined with this skill to regenerate the ‘Protection Barrier’ skill.】

‘This is it.’

A slightly special message appeared.

Usually, once you acquire one independent skill, it ends there.

In the case of this skill, it seemed to have a set effect due to its relationship with other skills.

Like putting pieces together.

When you complete the skill pieces responsible for defense in each direction, it becomes one complete skill.

One guy died.

Now there are two guys left.

Ganghu further increased the tempo of his attack. There is no better time to get caught up than now.

I immediately used kidnapping to summon the front defender. At the same time, I used the stolen back defense skill.

Up to this point, it was impossible to even guess why Ganghu used the rear defense skill.

This is because it is very unnatural to defend the back while dragging the enemy forward.

I should have realized early on that there must be a reason for that unnaturalness.

Unfortunately, the front defender was unable to read Kang-hu’s aim at all.

And when Ganghu’s figure disappeared along with the sideways movement, I felt an unusual energy.

By then, the situation had already happened. Kanghu was pushing the defender with all his might.

Cheeeeeeeek!

“Kwaaaah!”

Soon an accident occurred.

White smoke burned as the front defender’s body touched the defensive wall created by the rear defense technique.

It was a phenomenon that occurred when the Defender’s body came into contact with the installed defense wall.

Of course, it was Ganghu’s plan.

The shield is a kind of barrier, so it has the effect of resisting and repelling skills, etc.

However, when it comes to living organisms, a rapid chemical reaction occurs, as if touched by a hot iron plate.

The front defenders did not know what to do in response to the completely unexpected attack. In fact, I was half-fazed.

Not only was I caught off guard, but I couldn’t bear the feeling that the entire back of my body was on fire.

Ganghu stood with his back turned to the stumbling guy.

Showing your back to the enemy. It is one of the virtues that must be practiced as a top priority on the battlefield.

But it was different now. There was a good reason for that.

as soon as.

Cheeeeeek…!

“Ouch!”

This was to utilize the shield of the rear defense skill that Ganghu created while his back was turned.

He turned his body quite deliberately to create a defensive wall in front of his body.

As a result, the front defender became like a whole piece of meat being grilled in a grill with the top and bottom closed.

A combination of creative attacks!

Coo!

The second of the three defenders, who had no choice but to play in Kanghu’s palm from the beginning, died.

Robbery of full-scale defensive skills.

Now there is only one left.

“You’re next.”

And Kang-hoo pointed his finger at the middle boss who would be the final victim.

* * *

The flank defender, who lost two of his compatriots in an instant and lost his will to fight, could not hold out for long and died.

The level has risen all the way to the point where level 30 is just around the corner. Looking at the numbers, 29.7 was a reasonable level.

【The ‘Protection Barrier’ skill is created. The three existing defensive skills have been discarded.】

At the same time, integration according to skill set effects was achieved.

protective barrier.

Unlike the previous three types of skills, it had a structure that could defend in all directions.

Because it is an ‘installed type’ rather than a ‘mobile type’ that follows the skill caster, it has higher strategic use.

In addition, with the maximum effect of skill proficiency, overlapping use of protective barriers is now possible.

It has become possible to tactically install multiple units on routes where difficult attacks are pouring in.

【The Constellation ‘Master of Mobile Warfare’ sheds tears over your strategy that will make even the Constellation cry.】 【

Consumes a lot of Holy Power to support you with useful buffs.】

【Experience Increase +1%】

“······ ?”

Kang-hu opened his eyes wide.

I knew that the ‘master of mobile warfare’ was becoming more and more attracted to me, but did I know that the level of support would increase so much?

Usually, we sponsor a small buff that consumes a small amount of holy power, but now the scale has changed.

【This contract is mine. This is not a being that an insignificant constellation like you can treat lightly.】

I don’t know if it was intentional or a mistake. I saw a message with the blade of a dimension stealer.

The competition between the constellations was something that would have been welcomed a thousand times from the King Hu’s point of view.

This is because it is ultimately a battle for sponsorship ‘ranking’.

The more support you receive, the more likely it is that the contractor’s mind will change.
