The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 216

Episode 216: North Korea (2)

‘Human imagination…’

Ganghu made a bitter expression.

This is because I realized that vampire flies are a reflection of the unconscious.

The vampire fly, a monster concept that was scrapped without appearing in the original work after debating whether to use it or not.

I thought I would never see it again, but it became a manifestation of my unconsciousness and I met it in reality.

first.

Ganghu ran at full speed towards Ham Woong-ho.

The vampire flies were just leaving the trees and flying, but there was still some time.

【Shadow Walk】

First, shadows were scattered in various directions just in case.

He then plunged the dagger straight into the uvula of Ham Woong-ho, who was watching him with his eyes wide open.

Ham Woong-ho, who appears to be a warlock, was unable to resist as he used up all his strength in the process of summoning the vampire fly.

The subsequent bloodshed.

Kang-hoo snatched the Mad Solarium bouquet from Ham Woong-ho, who was fluttering like a deflated balloon.

Why!

The vampire flies that soon narrowed the distance began to flap their wings even more and approached Ganghu.

‘If I get bitten, I won’t be able to get out alive.’

Even if just one drop of blood is sucked by so many flies, there will be no blood left in the body.

Kanghu thought about ‘teleportation’ to a designated point near Yuri Land, but soon gave up the idea.

Because it’s such a comfortable thought.

【Protective Barrier】

So, a strong protective shield was created around the body as a protective barrier.

Why?! Why! Why!

Ksssut! Look! Ksissut!

Soon, the vampire flies that hit the barrier began to flap their wings even more and gnaw at the barrier with all their might.

Some flies seemed to have gone crazy from sucking blood and were rubbing against the barrier even though their bodies were burning.

If Kang-hu had not taken the first step because he had defense skills, he would have become a corpse right away.

‘They may have used Ham Woong-ho as bait.’

It occurred to me that there might have been another hunter who coveted the Mad Solarium carried by Ham Woong-ho.

So I turned my gaze and saw a location that I had not been able to see until just now because it was a blind spot.

There was a tomb of bones piled up in abundance. It wasn’t just one or two corpses.

‘How many people were affected?’

There are as many as 20 skeletons just visible. They say at least 20 people died.

It occurred to me that this place was controlled by someone’s intelligence.

It could be a pack queen who created a hybrid called Hamungho, or there could be a third entity.

I checked the shadow position.

Among the five shadows sent in different directions, one shadow can be seen that is the furthest away.

The path to escape later is wide and there are few trees where blood-sucking flies may be hiding.

Next moment.

【Protective Barrier】

【Arbitrary Forced Destruction】

Ganghu intentionally set off the protective barrier, causing a devastation effect.

Devastation where all mana within a 10m radius evaporates.

The flow of mana can cause temporary disturbance to insect-type monsters that chase hunters.

Then, it immediately changed positions with a shadow.

Faaah!

Changed vision.

When I looked back, there were still vampire flies swarming in the place I had been just a moment ago.

Some of them were biting at pieces of the protective barrier that were flying in all directions.

Some of them tried to attack Ganghu, but they collided with each other and bit each other.

“….”

My heart is pounding.

Because it is small, its seriousness is often overlooked.

Insect-type monsters are often more threatening than larger monsters. Because it is not visible.

Vampire flies, sleep flies, poisoned flies, paralysis flies, etc.

There are plenty of guys who can neutralize a hunter’s response system in an instant.

I am already feeling the mysterious atmosphere unique to North Korea.

It can be said that it is entirely the author’s own karma.

A major accident occurred because a lot of all kinds of rice cakes were scattered and no recovery was taken.

Still, there was a way to deal with it, so I was able to get out without taking any damage and only taking Mad Solarchium with me.

After confirming that the vampire flies were no longer chasing him, Kang-hoo stopped for a moment and organized the bouquet.

Because he only needed Mad Solarchium to eat, he didn’t need the whole flower.

With a skillful hand using a dagger, he cut off all the flowers and took only the fruits he needed.

Perhaps because it had been pulled out of the ground for a long time, it was as dry as a cookie.

Of course, there is no problem in terms of effectiveness. It’s just that the texture is not moist and crumbly.

“It’s just a cemetery.”

While I was putting the Mad Solarchium I had stored away in my inner pocket, I noticed white bones scattered around me.

Apart from the bone grave we saw earlier, there were quite a few corpses abandoned here and there.

The scary thing is that the white bones are hidden in places that you can’t see unless you come close.

A story about being touched by someone.

Considering that it could have been removed but was not done, it may have been left behind because it was needed for some reason.

It could be related to necromancy or a hidden curse. The scope of imagination is wide.

after that.

About six hours passed.

The sun was rising and the day was getting brighter, but the darkness here was still not going away.

This was because a colony of huge trees that grew without even knowing that they were high in the sky formed a colony.

The official name is Moongdali tree.

The name alone may sound cute, but ‘Mongdali’ is a term used to refer to something like a tree appearing in the shape of a person at night.

In fact, the moongdali tree had a body that looked as if a person had been made to resemble a tree.

In addition, because the leaves were wide and large, they were effective in blocking sunlight.

For that reason, the night had not yet left this place where there was a colony of moong dal trees.

While moving.

In his spare time, Kanghu practiced the Thorn Hell at the speed of the dark ages.

Whenever I had a moment to catch my breath, I immediately practiced dagger attacks using my left hand.

Not a single minute of time was wasted.

If everything is perfect and there is nothing more to fill, you can rest in peace… but

your growth has always been ongoing. As long as the constellation and skill theft continues, it will not end.

at that time.

Huh!

I could hear the sound of harsh wind overhead. There is only one sound that can be heard here.

【Quick Evasion】

Kang-hu, who instinctively sensed the situation, made the first judgment as the sound was getting closer and immediately dodged backwards.

Then, just in the nick of time, a thick tree trunk passed by where Ganghu was.

“It’s always like this at Ground Zero.”

Although it was a close situation, I was not embarrassed or surprised.

Because it is an ecological characteristic of Ground Zero.

Here, plants do not remain still, and stones or rocks are not necessarily solid.

This is where common sense breaks down.

Hwii!

The wind created by the movement of the tree trunks violently shakes the flowers around them.

Then golden pollen fluttered and flowed towards Kang-hu on the wind.

【Addiction Suppression】

At that time, the addiction suppression effect on the Breath of God Necklace was activated.

What pollen was trying to cause was the sleep effect. If it weren’t for the necklace, I would have fallen asleep right here.

Next moment.

Kuuk.

“…!”

Kang-hu stepped on a flat stone hidden by fallen leaves, felt something strange, and immediately jumped forward.

OK.

Coooooo!

The stone where I stepped on it fell down with a whimper.

It was a path that went straight down, like the inside of a manhole cover.

This is why the number of victims is bound to increase the further north you go from Ground Zero.

It is safe to say that people who come to live here are insane. It’s like walking on a minefield.

Still, because he had his own countermeasures, Ganghu was able to move without any major crisis.

Although my body was tense, I always felt that level of tension, so it was nothing new.

* * *

Arrived at Mad Solakium Point.

Ganghu was at a point 30km north of the location of Yuri Land.

What used to be a city is now almost like a wilderness, and everything has stopped in the past.

Abandoned cars, old cans left on the street, even construction materials that never arrived on site.

In the world bordering North Korea, north of Ground Zero, everything was stuck in the past.

“Three Mad Solarchiums?”

A punisher appears ahead.

And behind the guy, you can see three beautifully blooming Mad Solarchium flowers.

If you acquire that, you can secure up to 15 in total. It is suitable for use for a while.

I want to collect more because I’m greedy, but this is the only nearby point.

The next point was 30km further north, so Ganghudo could not guarantee safety.

As we saw before, the Punisher is created as a copy of a random occupation.

Moreover, since the level was adjusted according to the level of the intruder, the perceived difficulty was always the same.

When level 1 comes, when 500 comes to level 1, the level of the guy is adjusted accordingly.

“You’re a Qigong master.”

The punisher I faced before was an assassin, but this time the punisher looks exactly like a Qigongsu.

If you don’t have experience fighting a Qigongsu, you might be at a loss, but Kang-hu has experience that has become his bones and flesh.

The battle with Jeungseonrak.

No matter how long and long the Punisher is, it is ultimately just a backward compatible form of Jeungseonrak.

Of course, we must not let down our guard.

Kang Hu remembered the number one strategy for countering the Qigongsu. Don’t hesitate. That’s the key.

Alternately accelerating and leaping, he charged at the Punisher.

It is true that the Qigong Beast’s Qigong Bullet attack is difficult and threatening.

If you flinch or hesitate here, you will be allowed to attack repeatedly to the qigong master, which is perfect for death or injury.

Therefore, Kang-hu trusted his senses and boldly rushed forward.

Sigh.

The punisher’s finger soon moves slightly downward. This is the action just before firing the Qigong bullet.

The route is expected.

Except in special cases, Qigong bullets have no guidance ability.

Therefore, it rarely bends suddenly into curves or right angles. This is something a punisher cannot accomplish.

so.

Taang!

When the Punisher fired the Qigong Bomb.

Ganghu bent his knees hard, lowered his body, and glided across the ground.

I didn’t forget to bend my waist backwards as I watched the flying Qigong bullets.

Then, they succeeded in releasing the bomb cleanly without losing the existing momentum.

At the same time, Kang Hu used the Lightning Blade and threw a dagger at the punisher.

It was a two-track strategy that involved forward evasion and attack simultaneously.

“…!”

The Punisher, who was momentarily embarrassed, erected his Qigong Steel Wall half a beat later and blocked the dagger attack.

Because the knockback effect was also applied, the Punisher’s pore wall broke and he was pushed back.

The Punisher built another Qigong River wall one after another.

Unlike the pore cavity walls of the Qigongsu, which were transparent, those of the Punisher were opaque.

In other words, Ganghu and Punisher were obscured by the Qigong River wall, making it impossible to specify each other’s locations.

It seemed like a punisher’s calculation to block the view and create a variable that would make the bomb launch threateningly again.

but.

【100 Days Cham】

After Kang Hu recognized the Punisher’s clumsy strategy, he was already preparing a big move.

The magic power was already condensing ceaselessly at the tip of the dagger. That’s how the disaster grew in size.
