The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 187

Episode 187: The Corrupt Truth (4)

* * *

Kuung!

Lee Kwon-su collapsed.

A second life that was given despite being castrated. But even that went off.

Ugh! Weeeeeee!

Soon, the baby bee that broke through the top of Lee Kwon-su’s head began to flap its wings in an attempt to escape.

but.

[Thunder attack]

He died instantly on the top of Lee Kwon-soo’s head without even being able to flap his wings properly under the cool electric shower.

If he had escaped alive, he would have found another victim. Because the dungeon is large and there are many hunters who will die.

“You used the devastation to good effect.”

Kang-hoo looked satisfied when he saw Lee Kwon-soo’s fallen body.

Unfortunately, because it was treated as a dead entity, the constellation was not stolen.

The swordsmanship and skills themselves were quite good, perhaps due to the skills of the hunter who owned the body.

So, in some cases, he was a strong man who thought about a long-term war. This is because the gaps are hard to see.

However, the devastating effect of the protective barrier became a turning point.

Lee Kwon-soo had a variety of skills to protect himself or attack his enemies.

When he was unable to supply mana due to the devastation effect, he became a half-baked swordsman.

Since the source of the swordsman, who depended a lot on mana, was cut off, only a shell remained.

The level has become 191.

If you earn this much experience by hunting one object, the travel expenses are more than recovered.

Kang-hoo immediately retrieved the ring from Lee Kwon-soo’s necklace before any other hunters showed up.

Corrupted Truth Ring.

This is the dagger item currently in use, a set item with corrupted beliefs.

【Corrupted Truth – Ring】

【Grade: Level 2】

【Strength +100】

【Stamina +100】

【Dexterity +100】

【Absolute resistance to fire, freezing, lightning, and physical attacks increases by 5%.】

“Resistance is the key. ”

I looked at the stats and basic tooltips.

The stats themselves are excellent, but I liked the additional options.

Absolute resistance has the effect of unconditionally subtracting damage before it is applied.

For example, if your fire resistance is 10% and you receive 100 fire-related attacks.

Once it has been reduced to 90, the next defense mechanism is applied.

For that reason, if there was an attribute with 100% absolute resistance, it would be invincible to that attack for any reason.

In fact, in the thirteen stars, there were hunters who had absolute immunity to certain areas like this.

A representative example is Chae Gwan-hyung.

He has 100% absolute resistance to freezing, allowing him to completely ignore freezing attacks.

‘The flame side is the highest at 15%. ‘This is beneficial considering that most magic hunters enjoy using flames.’

The absolute fire resistance that had been built up over time was now 15%. This is a considerable number.

There are no items or skill constellations that dramatically increase resistance.

So the dust gathered together to form a mountain. If you take care of it consistently, it will one day become a very valuable trait that will protect you.

Ganghu’s gaze turned to the effects still remaining on the item.

【Black Tears – All skill efficiency increases by 5% and damage increases by 10%.】

【Devil’s Whisper – If there is a hidden stat, it is permanently increased by 25 on the condition of wearing a ring.】

Black Tears were also an option in the dagger. It appears that the effects of items of the same series are linked.

The devil’s whisper was good news for Ganghu, who had a dark era.

I put the ring on right away to check the effect.

However, since he was wearing all 10 rings, which is the maximum, the blood of the hunter he was previously wearing was removed.

It was a level 5 item that only gave me 50 stamina, so I was able to give up without any hesitation.

and.

【Summon a Corrupt Demon (Corruption Resolution)】

Lastly, we have confirmed the set effects linked to Corruption Resolution. Summoning a corrupted demon was a skill.

【Summon Corrupt Demon】

【Proficiency: Lv. Max]

【Use 100 mana to summon a Corrupt Demon, a black ghost that reacts to Dark Age divine power.】 【

Corrupt Demon only finds targets that can feel Dark Age and Holy Power, and has no attack ability.】 【

‘Corrupt Demon’ . In this state, it has no attack ability, but when it becomes a ‘corrupt beast’, it has attack ability. This requires an upgrade that permanently consumes the Dark Age.】

【Corrupted Tree Evolution – Dark Age 200】

【Fallen Beast Evolution – Dark Age 500】

“Except for the last two crazy options, he’s a pretty good guy.”

It was a highly valuable skill.

In other words, you can use corrupted demons to find ghost-type monsters that are the main source of the Dark Age.

It can be useful in places like North Korea. That place is full of black guides and black shadows.

In addition, since it responds to divine power, it becomes possible to find healers who are hiding and hiding their appearance.

It’s a shame that it doesn’t have an attack ability, but if it had that ability, it wouldn’t have been a 2nd grade item.

“My wish was fulfilled.”

Perhaps thanks to the large set of items, I felt like all the fatigue had gone away.

This is the power of set items. It creates unexpected variables in one’s abilities.

He is an assassin who can even deal with ghosts. He is slowly breaking the mold of an assassin.

Although you will never lose your identity as an assassin, the ability to easily create variables is increasing.

after that.

Kang-hu tried to go a little further in to see what might happen, but soon gave up and turned back.

First of all, the access terrain itself is structured to be unfavorable to outsiders.

This is because the level of difficulty in constructing monsters has increased significantly and is not yet at a level that can be planned.

Moreover, since it was a dungeon in the liberation zone, there was also the point that one could not walk around with peace of mind.

Although the Hayabusa guild members gave up the chase midway and returned, there is no telling when they will reorganize and come back.

So, I used lateral movement to gain stealth and then immediately arrived at the entrance using my teleportation ability.

Since it was a location I had designated as soon as I entered the dungeon, returning was an instant.

“….”

Although it is only for a moment, Ayane can be seen mixed among the gunners of the Hayabusa Guild.

Even though he was covered with a mask, his unique eyes did not disappear, so I was able to recognize him.

Perhaps because there was a lull without fighting, not a single hunter detected Kang-hu, who was in hiding.

Ayane also seemed to be replenishing her stamina by eating chocolate bars by pushing them through her mask.

Ganghu came out of the dungeon and crossed the battlefield where the battle was still taking place.

And when the effects of Mad Solarchium were about to wear off, I took a break in a deserted place.

Because I used up all my strength while fighting with Lee Kwon-soo, the aftereffects were greater than I expected.

Even though I calculated the time and came out right, the pain was so great that I wondered what it would have been like if I had come out late.

“Whoa.”

Kang-hu lay down on the cold rock and closed his eyes to ignore the spinning night sky.

I felt like if I closed my eyes for a moment, my condition would be much better than it is now. It will just take some time to catch your breath.

* * *

Afterwards, Kang Hu, who returned safely to Ricou Tower, saw on the news that the battle in the Fukuoka Liberation Zone had intensified.

The Hayabusa Guild may have judged that it would be difficult with their own resources, so they hired a large number of mercenaries.

It was said that a large number of hunter mercenaries who were active throughout Southeast Asia were flowing into the Fukuoka Liberation Zone.

The problem is that the visit was not officially approved by the Japanese Hunter Security Agency. In other words, it was illegal immigration.

However, in a situation where the hegemony of the liberated area was at stake, there was no way such a law would be in sight.

In the first place, the influence of the Japanese Hunter Security Agency did not even reach the Fukuoka Liberation Zone.

Anyway, I thought it was a timely trip. Even if we had hesitated for just two days, access would have been more difficult.

There are now a total of 5 Dark Age farming dungeons remaining. Among them, I will go to the last dungeon with Ahn Young-ho.

Ayane, I’m planning on contacting her later, so there’s no need to rush now.

However, I suddenly thought of Takashi, so I sent him a DM through Hunter Gram. It was a one-line message.

– It’s raining, so be careful on the road.

Kang-hu sent it without thinking and ended up laughing.

I tell a guy who doesn’t come out of the house to be careful on the road. I said a normal greeting to a guy who lives an extraordinary life.

I was planning on sending it and forgetting about it, but a read receipt popped up right away, as if I had been waiting.

Then, an icon that was activated when a message was being entered appeared, but Kanghu turned off Hunter Gram.

at that time.

Blink! Blink! Blink!

The warning lights in each room of Ricou Tower began to blink.

And then an emergency broadcast came out. It was an unusual situation for Ricou Tower, which rarely broadcasts.

“hmm.”

Kang-hoo, who was wearing only his underwear with the intention of resting comfortably, quickly put on some clothes.

Meanwhile, the content of the broadcast began to unfold.

– Currently, Kenji Hosaka and Yuuji Ishihara have been confirmed near Ricou Tower.

– Immediate response is required as it has been confirmed that the power source facility of the support tower is being touched.

– All hunters of level 300 or higher must gather at the main gate immediately.

“Is the set effect activated?”

Kanghu burst into laughter.

The set effect referred to here refers to the worst synergy that occurs when two idiots come together.

Kenji Hosaka’s ability to utilize space is excellent, and Yuuji Ishihara has the characteristics of a berserker and assassin.

When these two work together, those dealing with them have to endure extreme, disgusting pain.

If you decide to launch a guerrilla war, there is really nothing you can do about it.

at that time.

A phone call came from Youngho Ahn.

I was already planning to call, but it seems Ahn Young-ho had something to say first.

“Oh, Youngho.”

– I’m telling you this to express your anger, brother, but you can just rest. It’s our guild’s job.

“The situation doesn’t look very good.”

– This is not something you need to do or need to do.

It wasn’t wrong.

Since this is happening within the jurisdiction of the Ricou Guild, it is right for the Ricou Guild to handle the situation.

But in other words, even if Kanghu stepped forward, it wasn’t like Ricou’s guild could stop him.

‘I’ve been curious about it before.’

Kang Hu’s eyes take on a different look.

Kenji Hosaka and Yuuji Ishihara.

They are both unrivaled assholes, but apart from that, their skills are considerable.

A fantastic combination that might remind you of Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyung. So my curiosity grew stronger.

Aren’t the Ricou guild members gathering at the same time? You could also appropriately use them as a shield.

“Let’s hang up for now.”

– You’re not going to come out, are you?

“Just take care of it. “I will take care of it myself.”

– Brother, you’re never coming out? The accommodation is safe, so you can just stay!

“Okay, hang up.”

Things don’t look very good.

As far as Kanghu knows, many executives, including Fumiya, are headed to the battlefield today.

As the all-out war with the Toushi Guild seems to be intensifying, a significant portion of the core forces have been lost to the east.

So, right now, there was a high possibility that the power of the hunters staying in Ricou Tower was weaker than expected.

No, since all the elites had disappeared to the east, it was questionable whether there would be any real substance.

Outside the window I inadvertently turned my head.

A man is dancing a sword dance against a member of the Rikou guild on top of a hotel on the other side, about 500 meters away.

Yuuji Ishihara.

He clearly looks crazy.
