The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 19

Episode 19: Skill Robbery (3)

* * *

Some time later.

Ganghu encountered the main boss in the wilderness and immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

It was a good fight, but I was busy avoiding and responding to the opponent’s barrage of attacks.

“You’re just crazy.”

Kang Hu smiled bitterly.

Shadow Warlock Alicia.

Although it was a female type, it was a boss monster with a strange, almost androgynous voice.

Of course, that’s not the feature.

Kim Mok-hyeon’s characteristic was that he had specialized skills in combat to the point where his skills seemed insignificant.

Because of the onslaught of black magic that started pouring in from the beginning, Ganghu was never able to approach her.

The trickier thing is.

Alicia covers the front defense with an attack aimed at Ganghu.

The defense in the remaining direction was to respond with circular skills that circulated around the body.

It is usually called guardian magic. This is because it continuously rotates around its body and targets approaching enemies.

‘Because of that, jumping and lateral movement are practically sealed.’

If you move laterally, you will move behind Alicia, and that location is exactly the border of the guardian magic.

What this means is that even if you succeed in moving laterally, you will be hit by a protection spell and your hiding will be immediately broken.

Of course, it goes without saying that he would be exposed to damage from the protection magic itself.

As I was willing to take some damage and engage in a fierce battle, Alicia’s boss skill, Blood Blossom, became something that caught my eye.

Once the wounds accumulate to a certain extent, she will use Blood Flower.

Then, Kang-hu’s wounds and flowing blood will become a catalyst and cause an explosion.

With this pitiful body suffering from such low stamina, it would not have been surprising if it died instantly from blood oxidation.

Of course, Kang-hoo was not the only one who was picky about Alicia.

Alicia was also dissatisfied with the situation as she had not made a single successful attack since the start of the battle.

The characteristic of the main boss is that it shares past data even if the dungeon is reset and reappears due to the strategy.

So Alicia also had data on various battles.

However, like Ganghu, there was no case where he failed to attack even once in the early battle.

Although he blocked Ganghu’s approach, that was really all he did.

It may have been a success in terms of defense, but in terms of attack, it was just mana wasted without any results.

In addition, since Kanghu easily avoided the attack by using only his leaping skill, his judgment on his skill composition was lacking.

While Alicia is glaring at Kang-hoo fiercely, she is looking for another loophole.

Ganghu was also constantly staring at her, adding meaning to the current battle.

‘It’s tricky, but that’s why it’s better.’

The entire battle process is risky and there are difficult parts as well.

At this point, I felt like I was overcoming and growing when I won.

Honestly, if you travel according to your level, it will be comfortable. One or two hits will kill everyone.

However, if that happened, my growth would stagnate and I would not be able to acquire particularly useful robbing skills.

There is only one reason why Ganghu can grow so steadily that he is incomparable to other hunters.

As you challenge high-level dungeons and monopolize experience points, you cannot fail to grow.

An ordinary hunter would have to catch at least 15 days even if the guild did their best.

If you keep that to a minimum and add the time spent resting and waiting, it gets close to a month.

“hmm······.”

Ganghu, who rarely makes a sound, made a silent sound for the first time in a long time.

The number of Solakiums already chewed was two.

It’s just an exploratory war without a proper all-out war.

‘First of all, it seems like I have figured out the entire attack repertoire. The only skill revealed from my side is leaping.’

Kang Hu judged that although the situation was inferior, he had the upper hand strategically. There was sufficient evidence.

It seemed like it was time to take a gamble.

‘A master of defense, this is like a dog barking. A draw is never a win. ‘It’s just an excuse for someone without skills.’

Faaah!

Kang-hu’s body leaned forward and began to run forward in a direction he had never taken before.

So far, I have successfully avoided Alicia’s attacks by jumping left and right or backwards.

Now you have to dodge forward while charging. It was quite a difficult task, but it had to be done.

This is because later, if you face a boss or hunter stronger than Alicia, you will have to do it like eating a meal.

If you choose to dodge left or right, which is the obvious route, the target will die immediately.

‘see. It looks good.’

Kang Hu’s unique talents, such as his excellent main power and excellent body vision, shone.

Although the path of the black magic that Alicia was pouring on him was fast, it was clearly predictable.

Faaah!

I immediately lowered my head to avoid the first fireworks that came my way.

Since the ball of flame was impossible to fly at very low altitudes, it was avoided by lowering the body closely.

Alicia didn’t take it easy either.

At that moment, the second magic, a wind arrow, was flying low to the ground this time.

It is an attack of a completely different nature from the attack made just now. The Wind Arrow was capable of ultra-low altitude flight.

“after!”

Kanghu let out his breath and flew away. In this case, an air jump is most appropriate.

‘also.’

Alisha, who had already timed her body in the air with the timing right, was linking Kanghu with her next attack.

It was indeed like the main boss.

There is no empty section in the middle of the attack flow. It’s almost a shame to compare it to the previous Defender trio.

Kang-hoo had already thought of his next response in advance, just as Alicia’s cunning plan was.

[Welcome drink]

Spaang!

Kang-hu’s body scattered.

Since the illusion technique itself had the effect of giving propulsion, Ganghu’s direction was slightly bent in the air.

The movement line was naturally twisted without having to try to move in a different direction.

Huh!

In the nick of time, Alicia’s next magic passed by and this time it was Ganghu’s turn.

Without even needing to see anything, Ganghu immediately used the kidnapping skill.

The wizard must be dragged in somehow and beaten up close!

This was also a proposition that never changed.

Next moment.

“Aaaah!”

A high-pitched scream was heard from Alicia, who was silently fighting the battle like Ganghu the whole time.

It was a clear realization by the main boss, who realized that the situation had gone astray according to Kang-hu’s wishes.

‘crazy.’

Even as she was being dragged away, Alicia was creating magic with both hands.

It was a struggle not to suffer without a solution.

As a main boss, this is a spirit worthy of applause.

If things continued like this, Kang-hoo would have dealt a blow to her, but on the other hand, he would have been dealt a harsh blow as well.

Oh my!

Kang-hu munched on the solarium he had been trying to chew with all of it in his mouth.

I was afraid that if I didn’t do that from now on, my mana hypersensitivity would explode.

Just before colliding with Alicia.

Ganghu moved sideways and went behind her.

Originally, he had planned to kill her with a dagger after she was dragged in, but strategically he gave up.

At the same time, a protective barrier was deployed.

Skills that had been strategically suppressed until now were released all at once.

Get the card!

The protective barrier began to engage with Alicia’s protective shield, causing a violent reaction.

It feels like putting two hot grills on top of each other and testing who is hotter.

Anyway, the protective barrier received the guardian shield, giving Ganghu a perfect free deal time.

Unfortunately, Alicia’s reaction, who should have turned her body at least a little at this point, was half a beat late.

Perhaps it was because he believed in the power of the protective shield.

You might have wondered if an assassin would have this kind of defense skill.

Thanks to this, I gained the advantage of ‘half a beat’.

The body instinctively read the advantage and moved faster than expected, and the hands were already stretched forward.

Phew!

“Kyaaaa…!”

The dagger that pierced her left back penetrated deep into her body, causing pain to her.

[Granting fire properties]

Next, Ganghu gave fire properties to the dagger he was holding.

There is no better attribute than flame to deepen wounds and open a shortcut to death.

As I poured in as much mana as I could, the dagger heated up rapidly and felt as if it had just been taken out of a furnace.

“X me.”

The swearing I had been suppressing came out.

I poured all my mana into it just with the thought that there would be no end, and it felt like my brain was pouring out as much as my mana.

Although my body was struggling in pain, my clear mind moved my body in front of Alicia.

and.

“You’re not the only one who is evil!”

Kang-hu grabbed the dagger with both hands as hard as he could and slashed the tip of the blade at her upper chest with all his might.

It was as if hot metal on the verge of melting was burning through bone and flesh.

“······!”

Even she, the main boss with a fairly strong body, did not have the talent to withstand this dagger.

It felt like pouring molten iron in a furnace rather than stabbing it with a normal blade.

The skin melts and the flesh melts.

Then, as the bones melted, the weak heart hidden inside naturally had no talent to withstand it.

The countless enemies – hunters – she had faced so far flashed like flashes of light in Alicia’s mind.

And I felt it.

Sometimes the main boss’s life ends up being so insignificant…

If it had been an ally rather than an enemy, I would have been amazed.

From start to finish, Kang-hu’s response and aim were clear.

Even the things that didn’t show strategic skills.

Coo!

Alicia, who fell like that, was unable to regain her breath despite her wide-open eyes.

【The level has increased significantly to 32.】

The level has jumped three steps at once.

At the same time, the assassin’s level 30 basic skill, ‘Acceleration’, was automatically added.

It was the most useful skill for Ganghu, who would need various accelerations such as attack acceleration and movement acceleration.

Moreover, as the maximum proficiency was applied immediately, the range and scalability of acceleration would be beyond imagination.

【The skills that can be stolen from a target with Robbery enabled are as follows.】

【Blood Flower】

And I also obtained the boss skill ‘Blood Flower’ that I had been looking forward to from the beginning.

It is a skill that cannot be found in other hunters without looking for a similar form.

The usefulness was endless.

It can be used to inflict a certain wound at the beginning of the battle.
