The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 233

Episode 233: Underwater Battle (4)

* * *

The target was found exactly.

This is because when I scanned the constellation that signed a contract with Go Kyeong-ho, information about a pure black hypocrite came out.

【Pure Black Hypocrite】

【Sacrifice 5% of your body’s lifespan to the Contract Constellation and cause a ‘light awakening’.

In the light awakening state, 1 second invincibility and 2 seconds normal state are constantly maintained. The duration is 2 hours.】

【Blood Soma】

【All skill attacks cause bleeding effects. The duration ranges from a minimum of 0.2 seconds to a maximum of 0.9 seconds.】

‘No matter how you look at the Pure Black Hypocrite, it is a trash constellation. In fact, Soma of Bloody Blood looks much better.’

The information on the two constellations that signed a contract with Go Kyung-ho was interesting.

First of all, if the Pure Black Hypocrite causes a light awakening, it will definitely increase the hunter’s power.

The statement that 5% of the body’s lifespan was offered in return was too ambiguous. What and how much will I lose?

After watching Soma of Blood, I realized why Go Kyung-ho has been used in Eclipse so far.

If every skill could have a bleeding effect, it would have been really useful in the dungeon.

No matter which dungeon you go to, Go Kyung-ho’s participation would have been essential. Bleeding is so deceptive.

【My younger brother is over there.】

At that time, the pure black seeker, who had been quiet until now, spoke up.

But the pure-black hypocrite you referred to as your ‘enemy’ is none other than your younger brother? You mean your younger brother?

It seemed like there was a story, but I didn’t have time to ask questions and listen comfortably.

Anyway, if you kill Go Kyung-ho, you will be able to rob the Constellation, and then you will know the answer.

“Shin Ganghu. “I see you from here.”

Go Gyeong-ho aimed his poisonous sword at Kang-hu.

There was a purple glow coming from the sword, and it felt unpleasant, as if I was seeing black magic.

“I’ll take care of you.”

“I didn’t know you’d be hanging out with Jeon Se-hyuk’s gang. by the way. Jeon Se-hyuk is also having a hard time with me. Do you think you can win?”

Go Kyung-ho was confident.

Considering Ganghu’s known level information and image, it was obvious that Jeon Se-hyuk was highly evaluated.

Although Kang-hoo has recently raised his stock price due to various circumstances, it is Jeon Se-hyuk who is still intimidating.

“Jeon Se-hyuk is Jeon Se-hyuk. I am me. “Looking at your face, you look like you’re older than me, so I’ll give up the first move.”

As Kang-hoo scratched his insides without changing his expression at all, Go Kyeong-ho’s expression became distorted.

Of course, Kang-hu did not give up the first move because he was a kind person and gave preference to seniors.

I was waiting for the current rain and wind to get stronger.

Since it was a tailwind blowing from behind, there was a lot of room to utilize it more actively in attack if done well.

“You crazy bastard!”

with a splash! with a splash!

Go Kyung-ho’s response to Kang-hoo’s provocation came out immediately. He kicked the ground and rushed toward Ganghu.

At the same time, he did not forget to use his magic power to explode a stone he had taken out of his pocket.

Meanwhile, Kanghu chewed the Mad Solarium that he had taken out and waited for the effects to spread throughout his body.

‘It’s a twisted magic stone.’

Although it was my first time seeing it in person, I immediately recognized what Kang-hu was from my memories of the original.

Twisted magic stone.

It is a magic stone that has no commercial value, but can destabilize the surrounding mana flow by exploding it.

It was rather difficult to obtain it because it had to be a magic stone that had been created incorrectly from the beginning.

When the Twisted Magic Stone is used, it becomes difficult to use illusions or clone shadows.

This is because the main body can be easily detected due to the unstable mana flow and waves.

Moreover, in cases where movement was possible, such as Ganghu’s shadow walk, the possibility of a major accident could not be ruled out.

If the mana flow is unstable, the body may move erratically during the positioning process.

For example, the head was pushed to the north and the legs were pushed to the south… It was a complete disaster.

It goes without saying, but if the movement ends in this state, you will die instantly. This is because body parts move out of their intended positions.

‘You’re meticulous.’

Even though he was an enemy, it was impressive to see Go Gyeong-ho start the battle by erasing risk from the beginning.

Because of that, I would have done it with more confidence. They are not high-ranking executives for nothing.

[Stealth]

First, we started with the most basic hiding. It is also an assassin’s textbook response.

Among the words left by the thousand-year old man in the original work, there are these words:

【If you can’t think of anything to do as an assassin, think about hiding first.】

It was very correct.

The weakest-looking assassin in the world is the one whose appearance is fully visible.

Assassins are beings that can double the fear when their appearance is not easily identified by the opponent.

Kang Hu disappeared in an instant, but Go Gyeong-ho didn’t bother to look around.

Faaah!

He immediately struck the ground with the sword he was holding.

Then, the muddy water that had accumulated here and there due to the heavy rain splashed into the air.

Fluid!

The next horizontal cut.

When he used the sword’s face to hit the muddy water, the muddy water sprayed everywhere and even got on Kang-hu.

As the rain continued to fall, it was quickly washed away, but in a split second, the concealment was revealed.

Quaaaaa!

Soon, a loud noise came from Go Gyeong-ho’s sword as he struck. It was a sound as if space was being torn apart.

His sword drew a large semicircle, imprinting the reason for the roar. Before I knew it, the sword was burning brightly.

[Collapse]

Kang Hu’s response was collapse.

Rather than taking the sword head-on or trying to dodge it, I twisted the normal way of dealing with it.

Rather than the defender seeking change, the attacker is given an unexpected variable.

“Keuuk!”

The ground on which both feet were standing suddenly sank, and Go Kyung-ho disappeared from sight.

The sword that tried to strike with all its might ended up hitting the wall in the collapsed earth pit in vain.

Gang Hu, who put the dagger in his waist, immediately took out his powerful long spear and threw it with all his might at Go Gyeong-ho.

【Hwaryongchang】

Rumbling!

Then the entire long spear became engulfed in flames, and soon it turned into a dragon and attacked Go Gyeong-ho.

Phew!

“Keuuk!”

It was a hit.

Go Gyeong-ho, who was unexpectedly attacked with a javelin by the assassin Kang Hu, suffered without even using his hands properly.

Go Gyeong-ho, who was stabbed in the left shoulder, stretched out his right hand and tried to somehow remove the spear.

If time goes by in this state, there is a high possibility that it will become a stationary target like a skewer stuck in a spear.

Gooooooooo!

“Kaaaa!”

The flames of the Fire Dragon Spear soon died down, but I felt the pain of tearing my muscles in the process of taking out the spear.

I felt a burning pain as if I was burning from the surface of the flesh pierced by the spear, so it was difficult to fully concentrate.

Nevertheless, Go Gyeong-ho held his sword tightly with one hand and prepared for Kang Hu’s close combat.

It was surprising that Kang-hoo, an assassin, had the skill to suddenly collapse on the ground.

It was once again surprising that he was attacked by a javelin technique rather than a martial arts technique.

I thought two surprises were enough. Could it be that there is another skill like this ridiculous hybrid?

But right then.

“Fuck you.”

Go Gyeong-ho’s expression distorted as he managed to pull the polearm from his shoulder.

This is because the deep purple embers that left Ganghu’s fingertips suddenly materialized into huge flames beneath his feet.

It was a ‘Flame of Death’ skill that was developed as an installation type rather than an active type that is activated in the palm of the hand.

An assassin who can sink the ground, throw spears, and even create fire inside a pit.

What on earth should we call this assassin? Hybrid. No other words came to mind.

Still, Go Kyung-ho was not embarrassed.

Although we suffered one unexpected blow after another, there were ample ways to respond to this fire.

Coooooo!

Go Gyeong-ho, who raised his magical power to his full potential, created a ‘sword wind’ and pushed back the flames created by the flame of death.

And then he immediately jumped up and attempted to escape out of the pit.

If you’re an assassin who uses magic – no matter how much you think about it – it doesn’t make sense, you have to get out of the pit first.

Huh!

When his parabolic leap from inside the pit reached its peak.

【Jeonggwangbido – Push】

Ganghu was already using the Jeongwangbido skill to throw a dagger at exactly the point.

It was a difficult interference to deal with, as it even included a knockback effect.

Cough!

“Ugh!”

Go Gyeong-ho’s body instinctively blocked the dagger with his sword and was pushed back.

The momentum gained from the leap was offset by a counter-rebound, causing Ko Kyung-ho to fall again.

It was as if I was trapped in a pit and there was no way to escape.

in between.

‘Perhaps because of the strong wind and rain, the effect of the twisted magic stone ended shorter than expected.’

Ganghu smiled in remorse as he saw the surrounding mana flow returning to a stable state.

Go Gyeong-ho had already suffered a wound on his left shoulder and had no choice but to expose his fatal weakness throughout the battle.

The first tenet of combat is to persistently target the weak point of the enemy’s injured area.

Kang Hu was planning to have fun with it from now on.

【Shadow Walk】

Five shadows summoned in various directions were evenly spaced on the pit.

And then he jumped with all his might into the pit.

Because the rain was pouring incessantly, the inside of the hole was already filling up with water.

The muddy water had already reached Go Kyung-ho’s ankles, and it was still ongoing.

“Fearless bastard!”

Go Kyung-ho cursed at Kang-hoo, who continued to attack in the form of long-distance attacks but suddenly switched to close-range attacks.

This is high praise. An excessive reaction from the enemy can be interpreted in reverse.

Next, Go Kyung-ho targeted Kang-hu with his special skill, a double cut.

The heretic cutting skill refers to a skill in which the ‘Sword of Mana’ cuts again where the sword cuts once.

Because it comes in off-beat and the mana cut is invisible, there were many cases where I was unexpectedly caught off guard.

but.

【Lateral movement】

【Skills】

Kang Hu, who had no intention of dodging in the first place, neatly avoided Go Gyeong-ho’s back with a lateral movement.

At the same time, he immediately copied Go Kyeong-ho’s skills, which were implemented in an interesting form using the art of dealing with people.

It was good up to this point.

It was a clean dodge that was satisfactory to himself, and it did not leave any loopholes in Go Kyung-ho’s plan.

But right then.

Siiing tak!

Go Gyeong-ho, who flipped the sword he was holding and held it in a reverse hand, immediately threw the sword back.

It was a blow that grazed his body so narrowly that part of the clothes he was wearing tore along with it.

Kang-hoo instinctively twisted his body in response to Go Kyung-ho’s attack that came from an unexpected path.

I twisted my body to the maximum extent the human body could allow, but it was not perfect because the sword path was diagonal.

Phew!

“Ugh.”

So, part of my side was cut cleanly.

Red blood splashed backwards, and the rain that quickly soaked the wound amplified the pain.

‘It’s not a skill I’ve experienced in one or two fights.’

Kang-hu stepped back slightly, clutching his side where the pain was rising. It was a reorganization.

“Whew. Phew. Phew.”

Go Kyung-ho also took a deep breath and stepped back as much as possible. This is because a lot of effort was exerted in a short period of time.

‘I hit him backwards on purpose, but I avoided it. Just how good is this guy’s reflexes…?’

A wrinkle appeared between Go Kyung-ho’s eyebrows.

Kang-hoo’s reaction was much faster than expected.

At this rate, it seemed impossible to catch up without Gwanghwa’s awakening.

It may be a conclusion that hurts one’s pride, but the pressure Kang-hu felt was considerable. A clear variation was needed.
