The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 26

Episode 26: Trip to Ulsan (1)

[Skill Book – Attack from behind]

[Special Note: For Assassins only]

[When attacking the target from behind, the damage is applied with 33% more damage than the existing attack.] This

is a passive skill.

There is no need to think while using it, and it does not consume mana separately, so it does not stimulate mana hypersensitivity.

To begin with, it was a strong group that often attacked from behind thanks to its lateral movement.

I can’t help but feel good that a skill book that can bring unconditional synergy to me has appeared.

I learned it right away.

Because it is a skill that can be effective from the next battle and will not betray you in terms of efficiency.

【Shadow Walk】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】

【You can create five shadows and move them, then designate one shadow to move instantaneously.】 【

The shadow disappears immediately if it goes out of a 100m radius or receives physical damage.】

【The shadow that reflects the unconsciousness is the owner’s shadow . Each person moves in a different way, imitating the movement.】

Shadow walking has also been confirmed.

Perhaps thanks to reaching the maximum level of proficiency, it is much more upgraded than the shadow walk that Janyoung used.

“My level also went up.”

Meanwhile, level 33 has also been reached.

As always, bonus points are invested in physical strength. I also checked the overall stats, which I had been indifferent to for a while.

【Shinganghu Lv.33】

【Class: Assassin】

【Unique Talent: Fairly excellent main power / Very good moving vision】

【Strength 70】【Dexterity 60】

【Stamina 198】【Mana 20】

【Anti-horsepower 45】【Toughness 70】

Cheongmyeong Compared to before escaping the camp, he had clearly changed enough to be called a complete transformation.

Level 10 The body of a weakling who had stamina 10 has now reached stamina that can be envied by an athlete.

Of course, when the congenital mana hypersensitivity kicks in, your body turns into a three-minute countdown.

In any case, a foundation was created that could withstand that time.

The picture was different from before when I immediately felt a threat to my life.

That was enough mana.

Anyway, the power to attract mana is much higher than that of other hunters, so there is no need to worry about supply and demand.

“I’m done with my role as a human being, but I still have a long way to go.”

I wasn’t exactly happy. I actually don’t even think about that.

Kanghu moved forward, focusing only on the fact that he was now more confident than before.

This is because it will soon be time to meet the main boss in this ultra-small dungeon.

Although I had never met the boss before, it was easy to find out his name.

Because….

“Shin Ganghu.”

Because another me is the main boss of this dungeon.

* * *

Same time.

A man suddenly comes to his office and looks at Chae Gwan-hyeong, who is constantly drinking strong whiskey.

A person who even Chae Gwan-hyeong treats as his superior.

It was Jang Si-hwan, the owner and founder of the Jeonghwa Guild.

Because the two were close friends who transcended any hierarchical relationship.

The rudeness of coming to see him and drinking without saying anything was not a problem.

Jang Si-hwan stood up.

Then the long hair flew out.

His long black hair, which reached down to his shoulders, was so fine that the word Yoongi came to mind.

Jang Si-hwan asked Chae Gwan-hyeong.

“What’s going on?”

“One of my favorite tools was broken. And the research on Ahn Young-ho was also canceled.”

“Wasn’t that common?”

Unlike Chae Gwan-hyeong, who was grinning, Jang Si-hwan instead smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

However, Chae Gwan-hyeong glanced at Jang Si-hwan as if asking how someone could be so carefree, and then added.

“There’s no worse feeling than when things don’t work out.”

“Hyung Kwan. Minor failures or setbacks are not a big deal to us. “A bright future is already ahead of us.”

“How bright! “Fuck you.”

“Our dreams will definitely come true. “Anyone who blocks that dream will naturally become an enemy and a handful of ashes.”

“Jang Si-hwan. Don’t be too optimistic. “Unconditional can become unconditional.”

“Just because one or two small things like that disappear doesn’t mean our future will change. okay?”

Jang Si-hwan, whose expression suddenly changed, showed his disdain for the dead Heo Jeong-tae and the disappeared Ahn Young-ho.

The look in their eyes was as if they were wondering if there was any meaning to the fact that one or two ‘insignificant’ people disappeared and were missed.

Jang Si-hwan continued speaking.

“The world moves around me. I am justice, I am goodness, and I am the way. “Nothing can stop us, so don’t be serious on your own.”

“…Are you saying that you are the main character of the world?”

Chae Gwan-hyung spit out a sharp word to his friend and rival Jang Si-hwan.

Then Jang Si-hwan nodded with his usual benevolent expression.

“huh. “I am the main character.”

* * *

Ganghu, who had reached the peak of the battle, was feeling deeper interest in the battle with ‘another me’.

The difficulty level itself was actually lower than the remnants of the battle we faced earlier. Because it is a fight with yourself.

In that sense, Shin Kang-hu, another enemy with the same thoughts and targets, was too easy to predict.

Isn’t this the age of the past?

There was nothing to be afraid of because I was fighting with my past before I developed rather than with my future self, which was more developed than now.

My other self had no choice but to struggle with the combo attack I had just come up with on the fly.

“Kanghu. I don’t just use daggers. There’s always a second third plan. But it seems like you don’t have it.”

Kanghu tapped his shoulder as he saw another of himself stumbling.

Rather than encouragement, it had a strong feel of a kind of ceremony hinting at the end that would come to him soon.

just as expected.

“Cough!”

The guy who couldn’t even block the combo attack that Ganghu had just devised vomited black blood and lost his breath.

It goes without saying, but since he was dealing with himself as the boss, there were no new skills that could be stolen.

So, as expected, the system message threw a different type of curveball.

This is the reward that Jang Si-hwan also received in the original work.

【Skill Enhancement (1 time)】

Opportunity to upgrade only the skills with maximum proficiency.

Skill strengthening.

In Ganghu’s case, thanks to the constellation effect, all skills had maximum proficiency, so there were no skills that would be limited.

As it can be used for ‘ultimate’ purposes, it is destructive no matter what skill you upgrade.

This skill enhancement reward was a very rare reward even in dungeons.

Speaking of probability, it is easy to put a statistic of less than 0.001%.

Not only that, but in order to see this effect, you absolutely need to have the highest level of proficiency.

It is definitely not easy to have such skills in advance. The necessary conditions are strict.

“Hold for now.”

Kang Hu decided to leave the opportunity without exhausting it.

There are a few skills that come to mind as candidates, but I’m not sure yet.

There was no need to rush since it could be strengthened immediately if you wanted to anyway.

Right then.

【Redstone – Special Material】

“This is a windfall.”

One additional piece of loot appeared from the dead ‘self’.

I thought it was a windfall when I got the skill book from Janyoung earlier. Things seem to be going well.

Red stone is truly precious.

This is because it is an essential material for upgrading item grades or unlocking hidden options.

You couldn’t buy it with money, and even if you could, there was no limit to the price. What you call is worth it.

The call may go beyond billions and billions.

Of course, if you sell this, there is a 99.9% chance that you will be attracted to crooked criminals rather than honest buyers.

So, it was best not to think about selling it.

“If it had fallen into Jang Si-hwan’s hands, my stomach would have hurt.”

Ganghu nodded.

There was a bit of improvisation, but thanks to recalling memories, it worked out well and I benefited a lot.

Shadow walk.

Strengthening skills.

Red stone.

It is a skill that cannot be easily obtained, and it is an opportunity that some people cannot obtain even if it takes a lifetime.

The business is over.

For now, I was thinking of going back to Yerin Lee.

I’m thinking about going to Ground Zero, but I still feel like my skills are a bit lacking.

It is a place where there is no such thing as an appropriate or recommended level and is essentially a crystallization of all kinds of variables.

In a word, hunter’s wilderness.

Therefore, there was clearly a problem in rushing forward with only a clumsy spirit of challenge.

Instead, I planned to take a more expensive request from Yerin Lee and use it to get better items.

This is because setting basic items is as important as leveling up.

Even at the same level, the perceived power can be dozens of times different depending on what items are set, so composition was very important.

* * *

The next morning.

Kang-hoo arrived at the location he had arranged with Lee Ye-rin the day before and met her.

As always, the meeting place would have been Daejeon Station, but today’s meeting took place at Pyeongtaek Station.

So, as soon as she saw Kang-hu, Lee Ye-rin’s luck was also a topic about the changed location.

“The place is a bit surprising, isn’t it?”

“It’s even weirder every time I go to Daejeon Station.”

“but. “That is correct.”

“Heo Jeong-tae did a good job.”

“I already received a call. I heard you said it was a request from us? “Hoho, I didn’t ask for that.”

Kanghu just nodded.

Although I didn’t say it directly, this is actually business.

If you briefly mention the name of the mercenary group you are a client of and raise their status…

Of course, the mercenary group will also give you better, more useful requests.

“Before we talk about the next request, there is something I really want to tell you. Do you know Cha So-hee?”

“I know. “I know I’m following behind.”

“Did Seoyeon tell you?”

“yes.”

“that’s right. “It seems like Eclipse is chasing it, but I kept my eyes peeled to see if I could help Seongyu.”

“hmm.”

“When I receive a report on Cha So-hee’s location, I will continue to send a secure text message to Seon-gyu.”

“Thank you for your kindness.”

“Well, it’s not like we’re using expensive manpower. I have a guy under me who likes to follow me around like this. Ho Ho.”

Kang-hoo expressed only moderate gratitude.

Isn’t this a situation where Lee Ye-rin is doing the favor first, even though she didn’t ask for it?

Thank you, but it doesn’t have to be an understatement.

Rather, it was interpreted that Lee Ye-rin found herself attractive enough to care so much.

Yerin Lee must have thought that the conversation had been enough and immediately changed the topic.

“What I originally wanted to request from Seongyu was ‘infiltration.’ But I think we should change it to ‘assassination.’”

“It’s an assassination.”

There is nothing you can’t do if you have money.

And usually, assassination requests target people who have a reason to die.

It is true that Ye-rin Lee is a person in a gray area, but she is not a person who goes around killing just anyone.

It was very likely that she received the request after filtering it out at her level.

So this target is probably someone worth killing.

“Take a look.”

Yerin Lee held out a document.

And the moment he saw the first page, Kang-hoo’s expression hardened slightly.

“Butcher of Ulsan?”

There was a familiar name.
