The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 186

Episode 186: The Corrupt Truth (3)

* * *

After that, I broke up with Ayane.

I wondered if there was anything I could do to contact them. It feels similar to when I met Baek Seon-tae before.

I know he’s a hunter with quite attractive skills, but do I really need to meet him?

This is because I have never seen Ayane’s skills except for a brief collaboration at Jeongmun Research Institute 1.

Of course, this can be indirectly verified by saying that the Hayabusa Guild specifically brought in external mercenaries.

This is because it is not common for outside mercenaries to be brought in to protect dungeons where interests are at stake.

However, that belief could not extend to Kang-hu.

‘It’s amazing. I never thought we would meet here like this. You must have dipped your toes into the gray border just like me.’

In most cases, we think of this kind of relationship as a one-time thing and pass it over.

Kanghu decided to try contacting Ayane later when he had some free time.

If you give up the original chase and instead share your contact information, it’s true that you expressed interest loudly.

I don’t know why I’m so into him, but it’s also a mystery that will be answered when I meet him again.

Anyway, after that, I headed to my destination while catching monsters along the way.

It was really convenient because there was no uncertainty because I had my own GPS that showed me the location of the corrupted truth.

Before I knew it, my level was 190.

Level 200, the point at which I gained basic skills, was within sight. All you have to do is raise it by 100,000 more.

Could the item be obtained from a monster? Or is it buried in a geographical feature?

As my curiosity grew, I finally saw the location of the truth about the corruption.

There was a lonely monster sitting in the location indicated by the status window.

Self -like

…. To call it a monster, it is much closer to a human.

‘Undead?’

Looking at the complexion, it was clearly not that of a living human being. Some parts of the body were rotted and bruised.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

her her her her her her her her her her her her/ her/…]]…..”)…..”…..)

At first glance, it looked like he was dragging the great sword on the ground due to lack of strength, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

He’s probably getting ready to use his power at any time. I guess he only intentionally releases his strength like that on a regular basis.

Ganghu attempted to scan the constellations.

If you are a pure undead, there is no way the constellation itself will come out, and if you are a hunter, you will be able to know the constellation information.

【The deceased hunter’s constellation information cannot be confirmed.】

“But it’s moving.”

Hunter died.

But the hunter is moving.

The word that came to Kanghu’s mind was ‘hybrid’.

A hybrid is a type of mutant monster that originated in North Korea.

It is a product of being untouched by human hands for a long time.

Closer to home, there are hybrids in North Korea, but in terms of total number, they are overwhelmingly in Western Australia.

After the Age of Hunters began, so many monsters appeared on the Australian side that people from western Australia migrated east in large numbers.

Because of this, Western Australia, which has become a playground for monsters, is teeming with all kinds of hybrid species.

Among them, there was a kangaroo combined with a nimble monster, which was quite annoying to the Australian Public Security Agency.

“Um… I feel a little nauseous.”

Kang Hu frowned.

Hybrids originating in North Korea have a strange birth process.

Even though the content was written directly from the original work, Kang-hu closed his lips due to the nausea that was slowly rising.

The hybrid monster derived from North Korea is a case where the pack queen planted her offspring in the body of a dead hunter.

The ‘Flock Queen’ is the female and monarch of a wasp-shaped monster that has grown in size through mutation.

Instead of eggs, they give birth to hatched young, which are then raised in the human body.

Then, it invades the brain, settles in, and uses it as a control tower to control the human body.

The Hunter’s abilities are maintained but he becomes dead at the same time, which makes it difficult to deal with him.

‘I found the ring.’

A ring can be seen dangling from a necklace made of hybrid species. It is a corrupt truth.

I glanced around and saw that the hunter’s body was quite hidden behind a rock out of sight.

It wasn’t visible at first, but when the position of the hybrid species was checked and the position was changed, it became visible.

‘If so many hunters died, there is only one reason. This guy has instant death.’

Ganghu thought as he looked at the corpse of the hunter who seemed to have died without even fighting properly.

The bodies were overall clean enough to be considered a death at the end of a melee.

Even considering the fact that the decomposition must have progressed in the meantime, there were very few wounds on the entire body.

Judging from the fact that they were naked and without any items they were wearing, it seemed like they had been killed somewhere else and gathered here.

[Lee Kwon-soo]

I can see the name of the monster.

It seems that the name he had when he was alive became his monster name.

I don’t know why the owner of the body that was supposed to have died in North Korea came all the way here, but I don’t know the circumstances.

Anyway, I felt strange seeing the hybrid species in person, which had only appeared as a piece of cake in the original. First of all, it was quite unpleasant.

The method is to hatch a baby in the body of a dead human so that it can inherit its abilities.

I wonder if this idea came from someone’s head, but it ended up being spit in my face, so the thought ended there.

Be careful of instant death in both the first and second cases.

Kang Hu clearly established the main premise and prepared to enter into battle with Ri Kwon Su.

So, can you eat level 2 items for free? Of course, the price must be paid.

Before approaching.

Kanghu developed a skill that was especially effective against undead monsters.

[Silence of the Dead]

is a skill that disguises itself as an undead. If it works well, the issue may be resolved very easily.

but.

Weeeeeee!

As soon as the strong energy that had been detected from afar disappeared, Lee Kwon-soo raised his great sword and activated the protective shield.

Let Kang-hoo stop using the spirit’s silence just in case.

Sreuk.

Lee Kwon-su lowered his great sword again and released the protective shield.

‘You’re meticulous.’

After that, I repeated writing and discontinuing the silence of the commander several times.

Each time, Lee Kwon-soo worked with Kang-hu to create a protective shield and repeat it.

In order to figure out the pattern, I maintained the silence of the commander, and the shield did not come off.

‘For now, the commander’s silence is dismissed.’

This structure doesn’t work.

Kang-hu reflected on his intention to eat raw. Yes, it’s not fun if the monster is too stupid.

First, we narrowed the distance.

Since it is a battle between the great sword and the dagger, close combat is unavoidable.

Although he is at a relative disadvantage in terms of length, he will definitely have an advantage in speed.

However, as Kang-hoo got closer, Lee Kwon-soo’s behavior, who had previously approached the situation defensively, began to change.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

It was spinning in place.

Same goes for Sammy’s ‘Annihilation Giant Slalom’ and Turbo’s ‘Tornado’ skill.

Monsters with threatening attack methods often used rotating attacks like this.

Then, it was true that it felt quite difficult to deal with. This is because the gaps are hard to see.

‘It’s not some kind of blender.’

It’s just like this.

It feels like approaching it like a human blender. It feels like if I deal with it wrong, my flesh and bones will break apart and I will die.

That sense of intimidation was always present in the rotation attack pattern.

【Jeon Gwang Bido】

Kang Hu aimed at Ri Kwon Soo with his spare dagger. It is difficult to see the timing of the approach, so take a stab at it first.

The rotation is not all-purpose, so if Lee Kwon-soo finds a gap in a situation like this, he will suffer more damage.

This is because usually the mechanisms that can protect one’s body are not activated during rotation.

But right then.

Cheok! Taaang!

“….”

Ganghu, who thought he would spin and strike the dagger, gave a different response than expected.

The moment the dagger left Kang-hu’s fingertips, Ri Kwon-su stopped moving and immediately struck the dagger away.

It was the most standard and safe defense method as long as it was not affected by rotation and dizziness.

“Whoa.”

Kanghu let out a hot breath mixed with various emotions. It didn’t seem like it would be an easy battle.

* * *

Before starting the battle in earnest, Ganghu ate one Mad Solarchium.

Before we knew it, the remaining number had reached one digit. A total of 9. It was finally time to contact Master K.

Lee Kwon-su had a defensive repertoire that made long-distance attacks virtually impervious.

So, rather than increasing the distance between me and him, I decided to stay close and engage in a fierce battle.

The information obtained from Lee Kwon-soo through a close fight was that the guy’s mental power was declining.

Since the bee was wearing a human mask, it was closer to an insect, so it lacked the ability to respond to mental disturbance.

Apart from its proficiency in combat, it was a matter of the total amount of mental power of the ‘main body’, the young bee.

Thanks to this, I was constantly affected by skills such as hallucination, vision robbery, and shallow confusion.

It soon led to false senses, lost vision, distorted sense of balance, and caused disturbance.

Kang-hoo suppressed Lee Kwon-soo’s rotational attack pattern as much as possible and launched an onslaught of attacks from close range.

Of course, Lee Kwon-soo was not immune to this, so he made several fierce counterattacks.

At that time, the recovery option that Kang Hu used to aim for when the battle was at a stalemate was very effective.

【Frantic Healing】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv Max】

【Recovers by replacing 1 mana with 1 stamina while stationary. Ultra-fast recovery is possible.】

This is a recovery skill I previously acquired from Ad.

A very useful tool for Ganghu, who is suppressing the pain of mana hypersensitivity as much as possible with Mad Solarchium.

So, when Ri Kwon-soo gives Kang-hu some room to catch his breath, it becomes like allowing him to build up his stamina.

In the past, after acquiring the skill, I didn’t have to focus on using it, but now that we’re in a battle of wasting stamina, it’s an essential skill.

Because of this skill, the physical strength gap between Lee Kwon-soo and Kang-hu was widening.

While Lee Kwon-soo’s mouth was gradually opening, Kang-hu’s breathing quickly became stable.

This is a situation where you have to attack fiercely to prevent things from going well for Kang-hoo.

However, the judgment of Lee Kwon-soo – the baby bee that took over Lee’s body – was not as good as expected.

There was one more problem.

【Protective barrier】

【Arbitrary forced destruction】

It was the destruction of the protective barrier that Ganghu had been intentionally creating.

The protective barrier skill is a skill used to reliably protect the body from enemies.

Although it is a ‘defensive skill’ that exists in the first place, Kanghu used the skill in a different direction.

Just as the side effects of a certain medicine can have a beneficial effect on some people, the current protective barrier was exactly like that.

【If the protective barrier is destroyed, the ‘Desolation’ effect is activated and all mana in a 10m radius evaporates.】 The
