The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 246

Episode 246: Traffic Light (2)

* * *

A tightrope walk.

Kang-hoo took advantage of the situation where Park Dong-jae’s concentration increased thanks to his buff and strategically hit the green fist.

It felt strange to see the preliminary experience accumulated in a translucent form above the experience bar.

Every time you get hit, your reserve experience is filled and it quickly reaches the end of the experience bar.

After a few more hits, an additional line appeared at the top, accumulating new preliminary experience points.

The experience accumulated in advance was enough to raise the level considerably.

As soon as you catch Deseo, it is immediately converted into actual experience. Then it seemed like my level would rise to 255.

‘It’s unfortunate for Park Dong-jae, but this is monopoly.’

Kang-hoo glanced at Park Dong-jae.

It would be nice if we could all benefit together, but the effects of the green fist cannot be free-riding without suffering.

Slurp.

Deseo soon switched to a yellow fist. It’s probably because the time he can maintain his green fist is running out.

‘I think I’ve laid enough groundwork just by maintaining the form that narrowly fits the green fist.’

Ganghu’s eyes sparkled.

From an assassin’s perspective, the best situation is when he can see through the opponent’s thoughts and conversely plan his target.

Now, Deseo is in a situation where he has given Kang-hu a series of effective blows – or so he might think.

So morale is up a lot.

In fact, there was a time when Kang-hoo tried to hit a green fist just in the nick of time, but got hit deeper than expected.

Therefore, if no special situation occurred, there was a high possibility that the offensive against Ganghu would be maintained.

‘If you take a little more and then counterattack at once, you will have a clear timing.’

A picture is drawn.

What if you try to push someone from behind and the person you’re about to push knows in advance and suddenly avoids it?

Not only does the plan of the person who tried to push him away fail, but he ends up getting seriously injured.

It’s still the same now.

What if Deseo, who is constantly holding down Ganghu and is confident enough, is hit with an unexpected counterattack?

Even a single counterattack can seriously injure you or even kill you. He’s a strong man who doesn’t miss out on opportunities.

So, I decided to act to match Deseo’s attack.

It is a strategy to create counterattack opportunities by taking advantage of the opponent’s aggressiveness. If successful, the effect is very good.

Kang-hoo sent Park Dong-jae the finger signal he had promised in advance. Then Park Dong-jae also nodded.

As the battle continued until now, there was a pattern in which little Deceos were summoned in the middle.

The battle was easy thanks to Park Dong-jae’s clever use of buffs to harass the little Deseos.

Occasionally, when the little Deseo who used magic appeared, I applied excessive concentration buffs and killed him.

The level of concentration was so high that little Deseo’s puny brain couldn’t handle it. It was possible to kill him that way too.

When the situation actually happened, both Park Dong-jae, who tried it, and Kang Hoo, who watched, were all surprised.

It’s like watching a computer that’s overloaded and finally runs out of steam. And just like that, the monster died.

Kuoot!

Deseo, who was still confident in the battle, rushed towards Ganghu without hesitation.

Perhaps because his confidence had increased in the previous battle, much of the caution he had shown in the beginning had disappeared.

【Shadow Walk】

Ganghu used Shadow Walk, but Deseo didn’t even pay attention and only followed Ganghu’s main body.

This is because Kang-hu was already acting as if he had lost his will to fight and was backing away.

The method acting of striking the air with a dagger was excellent.

Some might say this. Isn’t true victory a fair fight with strength?

well. If you die while fighting in a fair way, is that a true defeat? The dead don’t speak.

A person’s fate is divided into life or death.

Even if you die cool, the world doesn’t remember you for being cool. Just remember that you’re dead.

Regardless of means or methods.

That has been the driving force that has made Kanghu constantly win and not collapse until now. Of course, Deseo is no exception.

Right then.

‘Now is the time.’

The best time to target Deseo from the rear has come. The guy’s center of gravity shifted forward.

Perhaps because of some sort of internal defense mechanism, my body’s center of gravity had always been in the middle.

For the first time, I leaned forward, perhaps because the certainty and confidence of victory led to my aggressiveness.

Faaah!

Immediately, Ganghu changed positions with the shadow behind Deseo.

Then, by adding Park Dong-jae’s acceleration buff and his own acceleration skill, he aimed at the back of Deseo’s neck with a leaping skill.

【Decapitation】

Let’s put a decapitation on the back of the neck without measuring it.

Wow!

Deseo screamed.

No matter how thick the back of the neck was, it was not immune to the sharp blade of the sword.

As usual, they would have continued with additional attacks after the decapitation, but this time they changed their strategy.

Deseo, who I had fought with before, was quite tenacious and, above all, had quite the patience for pain.

So when the counterattack worked.

I thought that if we didn’t go straight to the final stage, we could give them a chance to counterattack.

【Blood Flower】

Puff pop!

The blood flower was in full bloom right away.

The moment an explosion of blood occurred at the back of his neck, Deseo’s head was bent forward in a strange manner.

Caught in the shock, my body was thrown forward and my vision was also focused on the ground. I lost sight of Ganghu’s location.

[Flame of Death]

At this time, Ganghu deployed the Flame of Death skill, aiming precisely at the back of Deseo’s neck.

The purpose of the flame was to cause Deseo as much pain as possible. It is difficult to kill it in one hit with this.

Ughhh!

Deseo, caught in the burning flames behind his neck, let out a groan of pain.

Not only did he have a wound on the back of his neck, but he also suffered muscle and bone problems from being caught in the explosion.

There was no way my body could hold on properly as the fire burned through my naked flesh.

No matter how much grit and patience I had to endure, this level of pain was beyond the norm.

While Deseo’s whole body trembles in unbearable pain and fills himself with the poison of revenge against Ganghu.

【Diagonal Line of Distortion】

Ganghu was preparing for the next phase.

The diagonal line of distortion created by stretching it to the maximum was maintained taut at an appropriate height.

Judging from the position of the line, it was exactly at the midpoint and height of Deseo’s neck.

Next moment.

Kang-hu reached out his hand to Deseo, who couldn’t even properly pinpoint Kang-hu’s location due to lack of awareness.

[Kidnapping]

Continued kidnapping!

As the level of monsters and hunters you are dealing with has increased, this skill has been used less frequently in recent years.

It was still an effective skill against defenseless enemies.

Next moment.

Wow!

Deseo’s body, which had been kidnapped, was dragged by Ganghu along a horizontal line without any time to properly resist.

If the situation were the same as usual, it would have been a foolish act that would have narrowed the distance between Kanghu and Deseo.

It was different now that the ‘murder plan’ had been carefully planned. The situation was already over the moment Deseo was kidnapped.

Deseo was dragged in, waving his hands in the air, not even knowing that the diagonal line of distortion was unfolding.

Damn it!

In a tense state, he was caught in the diagonal line of the sharp-edged distortion, and his head was cut off.

The head, cut off in a neat horizontal line, fell helplessly below the distorted diagonal line.

Coo!

Eventually, Deseo’s body, left alone, jumped up and down a few times like a chicken that had lost its head, and then collapsed.

【Your level has increased significantly to 255!】

A level up message appears.

All the preliminary experience points I had accumulated earlier were converted into experience points, and thanks to this, it was a huge hit.

If you had attacked the game the normal way without accumulating experience points, your level would have barely reached 250.

“brother! “The level has gone up a lot!”

Even Park Dong-jae, who had not accumulated any preliminary experience like Kang-hu, was surprised by the sudden surge in level.

It goes without saying that Kang-hu felt that his level had soared.

Shaaa.

At that time, spheres of different colors rose into the air from the dead body of Deseo.

It was a completely different effect from items or skill books. It feels like something like a bead is rising.

At the same time, a message was displayed to Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae.

【This sphere is a reward individually activated for each hunter.】

【If you place your hand on the sphere of the color you want, you will be moved to a space where you can obtain the reward.】 【You

can stay inside for 10 minutes. and after that, you are naturally expelled from space.】

‘Finally.’

Kanghu’s heart was pounding.

He succeeded in redirecting the large reward that would have gone to Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyung to himself and Park Dong-jae.

It is not a concept that ends with simply being taken away.

You are taking one step forward and the other person is taking one step back.

As a result, the gap of two steps has been narrowed. It has great meaning in the process of taking something from the other person and filling it with something of your own.

“Brother, is this… a true story? This is my first time seeing something activated by individual rewards like this. “Is this a customized reward?”

“You’ll find out when you go in.”

Kanghu smiled and answered.

I didn’t want to make a fuss, saying there would be good compensation. You’ll find out everything when you go in anyway.

“Why are my hands shaking so much?”

The tip of Park Dong-jae’s finger, which was pointing at the bead-shaped sphere, was unable to remain still and was constantly trembling.

“Go in.”

“What about your brother?”

“I’ll be in soon too.”

He pointed to the sphere with a nod.

The reward does not change depending on the sphere.

No matter which sphere you choose, you will receive the same reward that is specialized for you.

“Is this a reward I can have?”

“Park Dong-jae. I think I said this before. Don’t worry about whether you can have it, but think about what you can do with it.”

“….”

“Go in quickly.”

“town! Ouch! okay!”

Kang-hoo covered Park Dong-jae’s mouth as he was about to pour out an emotional comment and pushed him forward.

Pot!

Park Dong-jae then reflexively held the sphere in his hand and instantly disappeared from sight.

Ganghu planned to go inside after finishing stealing skills from the dead Deseo.

Deep down, I was hoping that the traffic light fist that Deseo used was classified as a skill, but unfortunately, it wasn’t.

Perhaps it was a unique characteristic. Characteristics that a person is born with are usually called intrinsic characteristics.

“Let’s see…”

First, I looked through the list of skills.

I think I only saw his traffic light fist in battle, but when I looked at the robbery list, I saw that he had quite a few skills.

However, Ganghu had few practical skills. I feel like I can understand why he didn’t use it during the battle.

But one skill caught my eye. It made me wonder why this skill was not used during battle.

Was it because he thought he could solve the problem with his fists? Or was it because I missed the right timing?

【Three Colors】

Ganghu’s gaze lingered for a long time in front of the explanation of a skill that seemed to have high utility value.
