The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 249

Episode 249: A Thousand Killers (1)

* * *

Kang-hu, who moved from Incheon Airport to Seoul Station, began his journey in the safety limousine prepared by K.

If you think about the price of one ride, the cost of a limousine becomes expensive even if you have a lot of money.

Thanks to K’s consideration, I felt good because I could ride the limousine without paying even 100 won.

As soon as we boarded, the driver said he would leave and immediately rolled up the middle window.

Thanks to this, Kanghu was able to look out the window and get lost in his thoughts.

The first thing I did was recharge the durability of the Flawless Wall.

The method was simple.

All you had to do was check the Flawless Wall skill in the skill window and infuse it with magic power according to the current durability.

Perhaps because it is a hippopotamus that consumes 1000 horsepower, it took quite some time to recharge.

Aside from the small amount of Ganghu’s horsepower, there was an absolute amount of time required, like adding oil at a gas station.

It took about 5 minutes to fully reach 1000 durability. The number went up by about 200 per minute.

When you are not in battle or when you are free like now, you can comfortably recharge.

Recharging during battle didn’t seem very easy.

In order to recharge durability even during battle, mana management seemed to be much more difficult than other things.

Skills must be used according to skill, and magical power to recharge durability must be used according to magical power.

It is not a problem of sleeping after eating Mad Solarchium, but a problem of increasing the total amount of magical power required.

Anyway, charging is finished.

From the moment durability exceeds 333, a state where you can ‘unconditionally’ block an enemy attack once is also activated.

It was reassuring.

Who would have thought that a defense mechanism that would be so difficult for an assassin to have could be easily solved with just one hidden skill.

Thinking about it again, I thought that rushing to Norway was a good choice.

‘I’d like to visit the Dark Sanctuary at least once… but the problem is the disconnection from the divine.’

Ganghu whetted his appetite by reading about the fourth privilege of pure darkness seekers, spiritual body training.

I feel like I want to go there right away, but the problem is that if I go here, I will lose all contact with the constellations related to divine power.

‘Anyway, the major constellations regarding sacred power are already owned by those who have them all at this point.’

All of the constellations that could be called Named already have contractors. Representative examples are Elizabeth and Emilia.

Except for two.

The contract for Hunter, who is said to be well-versed in handling sacred power both at home and abroad, has been finalized.

However, like the Dimension Stealer, there was one uncontracted constellation that could only be contracted if it attracted special attention.

Angel of Battle.

In the original work, it is a constellation that Elizabeth signed while carrying out strategic activities in North Korea.

The trigger was the suppression of hybrid species.

After seeing Elizabeth subdue a hybrid that was treated as not dead even if the angel on the battlefield died.

She appeared because she was a crossbreed, ‘mistaking’ that she would give eternal rest to the dead.

Of course, that wasn’t Elizabeth’s goal, but she ended up making a good deal anyway through an illusion.

‘Considering that Elizabeth was the least active among the thirteen stars…’

Ganghu thought it would be much more efficient for the battlefield angel constellation to contract with him.

I don’t think of Elizabeth as a future enemy, but on the contrary, I don’t think of her as a colleague either.

To be honest, I couldn’t predict Elizabeth’s true intentions.

It seems like he would rather be on Jang Si-hwan’s side like Chae Gwan-hyung, or like Takashi, there is an element of turning around.

It would be nice if my thoughts could be clearly organized into one of the two, but there is nothing about Elizabeth that can be easily gauged.

‘Once the meeting with the 100-year old master is resolved in some way, I’ll have to schedule a time to go to North Korea again.’

I have a busy return schedule.

If everything goes according to plan, we will meet the Elder of Heaven and later attack a dungeon related to the Guru Guild.

Next, in relation to the Corruption series, I have to go to Germany with Ayane as a mercenary.

Next, through Kang Bok-hwa, you have the opportunity to touch Infernus, a first-class talisman.

The reason the Infernus case was pushed back the most is because I received a call just as I was about to arrive at Seoul Station.

The story was that the bereaved family with the amulet was spending a lot longer than expected in Vietnam.

This probably means that there are many hunters who covet the effects and options of the talisman and risk their lives to take on the challenge.

Kang-hu was confident that he would not be intercepted.

You will not be able to find a way to tame the talisman unless you read the original work yourself and find out the method.

“Whoa.”

Kanghu closed his eyes.

I slept quite a bit on the flight home from Norway, but I was strangely tired.

In the past, my body was always in a state of 100% tension, but now, when I rest, it feels like my body is properly resting as well.

Being able to sleep when you want isn’t a bad sign.

However, I wanted to be wary of becoming lax as I couldn’t tell when and where something would happen.

The best prey in the world is not an enemy that is vulnerable. It is a sleeping enemy.

* * *

Around that time.

bang!

Jang Si-hwan hit the desk.

I guess hitting him with both fists wasn’t enough to relieve his anger.

Grumble!

He grabbed the desk and used black magic to burn it down entirely.

The flame of annihilation.

It is a vicious black magic that ignites everything it touches, causing instant death.

“Fuck you! Fuck you! “Fuck you!”

Jang Si-hwan, who was still angry even after burning the expensive desk, continued to curse.

He was so angry that Chae Gwan-hyeong, who was next to him, was so shocked that he tried to calm Jang Si-hwan down.

“Enough. What’s making you so excited? “We didn’t lose, and we still had a chance to do it.”

“What can X-me do? You fucking bastard. uh? “How many heads have been poured into Dongducheon right now?”

“Wow… did you know that you would swear like this? “It’s quite attractive in another way?”

“Shut up.”

Chae Gwan-hyeong actually laughed at the unusual appearance of Jang Si-hwan.

It felt like I was eating a hundred sweet potatoes every time I pretended to be a saint, even though my intentions were not like that at all.

Chae Gwan-hyung was someone who made me think he was my friend (?) as he clearly showed his true feelings.

Meanwhile.

“….”

The three executives lined up behind Chae Gwan-hyeong kept their mouths shut and their heads bowed.

Shin Tae-seok is ranked 3rd in the Jeonghwa Guild.

From Kim Dae-man in 4th place to Sara Choi in 5th place.

The top 5 of the Purification Guild were all gathered here. Choi Sa-ra was the only woman.

“Whoa.”

Jang Si-hwan sighed and finally regained his senses. Still, he added that the situation was awkward.

“I’m sorry everyone. Because I can’t control my anger. “I apologize for acting out of the ordinary.”

“Why are you being polite all of a sudden?”

“I’m not talking to you.”

Jang Si-hwan glared at Chae Gwan-hyeong.

Jang Si-hwan’s face, which was neatly dressed again, returned to its original expression.

The heat from just now had subsided, but the venom in his eyes had not gone away at all.

Jang Si-hwan continued.

“The reason the situation with Abyss got to this point is because Moon Yoo-seok’s betrayal was discovered early. Why did Moon Yoo-seok, whom I secretly recruited, suddenly die?”

Jang Si-hwan looked at Shin Tae-seok, Kim Dae-man, and Choi Sara in turn.

But the three people had nothing to say. This is because Moon Yu-seok’s death was unexpected even for them.

“The fact that Moon Yoo-seok was recruited was something that only the five of us knew. “There’s no way Moon Yoo-seok would suddenly be killed by Lee Hyun-seok unless this information leaks from within, right?”

“Are you saying there is a traitor among the five of us?”

“Except you and me, to be exact.”

“haha.”

“I think that even if it wasn’t betrayal, there were definitely people who made a fool of themselves.”

At Jang Si-hwan’s words, Chae Gwan-hyeong, who was next to him, stepped forward. And then he gently placed his hand on Shin Tae-seok’s shoulder.

“Hey Taeseok. “Is that you?”

“no. “Would you dare to publicize something that was secretly promoted without me going crazy?”

“Kim Dae-man. You like alcohol, right? “You didn’t start talking to other bitches while drinking?”

“Absolutely not, Captain.”

“Sara Choi. “You’re… done.”

Both Chae Gwan-hyung and Jang Si-hwan knew well that finding the culprit here was meaningless.

I also knew that it could be a pointless way to vent my anger. Because Lee Hyun-seok may have been clever in finding an insider.

However, the reason why Jang Si-hwan could not hold back his anger was because Lee Hyun-seok did not die and all his plans were ruined.

If Moon Yu-seok’s betrayal had not been discovered and Lee Hyun-seok had been eliminated, the entire abyss would have been absorbed into the Purification Guild.

However, because the plan had collapsed, the Purification Guild was now engaged in a fierce battle with the Abyss in the Dongducheon area.

As Jang Si-hwan said earlier, the number of Hunters from the Jeonghwa Guild who were sacrificed there was already over 100.

They are all valuable resources and high-quality personnel of the Purification Guild.

Considering the cost and time it takes to raise an elite hunter, it is not a waste.

“I don’t know how Lee Hyun-seok found out about Moon Yoo-seok’s betrayal. Because of that, our purification guild has been unnecessarily hindered for a long time.”

Jang Si-hwan bit his lip.

What if Kang-hu knew that it was Kang-hu who tipped off Lee Hyun-seok about Moon Yoo-seok…?

From this moment on, Jang Si-hwan’s top priority to kill would have been Kang Hu, not Lee Hyun-seok.

However, Jang Si-hwan, who had no idea where the information had leaked, was only seething inside.

Jang Si-hwan let out a series of sighs and calmed himself down as much as possible. I came up with one organized thought.

“Contact the police department. Gather all your strength and contribute. “If you don’t want to be kicked out of Seoul.”

The plan was for a new reinforcement force. It was a case about the Public Security Agency called the 2nd Company of the Purification Guild.

* * *

Kang Hu arrived at Yuri Land comfortably in a safety limousine and met K at the entrance.

Like last time, K scratched the back of his head as he got to greet Kang Hu in person without Moon Hyeong-seo or Hwang Bo-hye.

“Is this why I’m so out of shape? “I wonder if I should at least get a gatekeeper.”

“how are you?”

“I’m always doing well. By the way, it looks like you’ve gained some weight? “It looks like you’re eating well and sleeping well these days?”

“I slept a lot.”

“okay. Sleep while you can. “It’s a world that doesn’t allow you to sleep comfortably.”

It may seem like a meaningless remark, but Kanghu found K’s last comment quite impressive.

The more greedy a hunter is, the more fiercely he challenges the world. It is true that the risk increases accordingly.

The increased chance of being targeted by someone also means becoming afraid of the night, darkness, and loneliness.

Kanghu asked.

“Where do we go?”

“I’m going to move to my villa like I said before. I got a little greedy. No matter how much I think about it, I think you and your brother will make good friends.”

“thank you.”

“I wonder if the old man is too old.”

“no. I believe that they were so considerate and caring. “I am truly grateful.”

“is it. Then from now on…”

Right then.

“for a moment.”

Kang-hu, sensing a suspicious energy, stopped in his tracks. At the same time, I held K’s hand.

Next moment.

Ganghu, who sensed what was going to happen, asked K.

“Are the exams starting now?”
