The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 52

Episode 52 Hunting Dog (3)

[Shadow Walk]

Pow!

Kang-hu, who quickly performed a shadow walk, selected the shadow that stretched out as far as possible and changed its position.

It was fortunate that he had a spatial movement skill, otherwise, it would have been an attack that would have burned him to death.

Grumble!

The place where Kang-hu had been just a moment ago was completely covered in black soot.

Due to the strong flames, the CCTV that was located above also instantly melted into ice cream.

Kang Hu did not miss the opportunity and threw the joy of the sky towards Cha So-hee, who was incapacitated by dodging.

The linked skill was Lightning Blade.

If Decapitation is a close-range special skill, Lightning Blade is a long-distance special skill.

Ugh!

Consuming a large amount of mana, the joy of the sky filled with explosive energy flew towards Cha So-hee.

It was a loud noise that made you wonder if it was not just cutting the wind, but tearing it apart.

“Tsk.”

Cha So-hee, who saw the flying dagger, lowered her body and created a shield on the front.

It was a protective shield that was essential for magic hunters.

It is usually called Shield in English.

[Kidnapping]

By the time Cha So-hee opened her shield, Kang-hoo was already deploying his next skill.

Usually, when the defense mechanism is activated, skills such as kidnapping miss or are automatically avoided.

However, the reason I used the skill in advance was because I had already sketched out the next situation.

at that time.

Kachiiing!

“Ahh!”

The joy of the sky struck the defense shield that Cha So-hee had deployed and destroyed the entire thing in one blow.

It was the power of Jeon Gwang Bido.

If it had been a simple dagger throw, it would have been easily blocked, but Lightning Blade was not such a simple skill.

It was Cha So-hee’s misjudgment.

I never imagined that Kang-hoo would have a throwing-type special attack skill.

In the first place, this skill itself was not a suitable combination for an assassin-type hunter.

“Aaaah!”

At the same time, the kidnapping took place.

The defense shield disappeared.

Cha So-hee, who was preoccupied with the dagger, was dragged away without even having time to notice Kang-hu’s kidnapping.

As the distance between her and Kang-hoo suddenly narrowed, Cha So-hee was also very embarrassed and the corners of her mouth trembled.

It was a result she did not expect.

On the other hand, Kang-hoo seemed to have anticipated this situation and had no hesitation in linking up.

‘…Damn it.’

Cha So-hee’s expression darkened.

However, he soon regained his composure and took immediate action while being dragged away by Ganghu.

【Hwashin】

Haaaaaaaa!

That is the skill ‘Incarnation’.

She herself became one giant fireball.

‘It’s like Cha So-hee.’

Kang-hoo, who saw Cha So-hee being dragged away like a burning fire, stepped back without any regrets.

The original plan was to kidnap and simultaneously target and wound anywhere on the body.

At this rate, he was likely to suffer severe burns before the dagger was inserted.

Cha So-hee’s fire received the constellation effect and became 500% more powerful than the previous composition.

Even if a fire is just passing by, you must never let down your guard.

It may not end with a simple burn.

Kang-hoo, who had gained enough distance, saw Cha So-hee’s changed appearance and shrugged his shoulders.

“hmm.”

“Why is this my first time seeing a body like this?”

“It looks like you worked out hard.”

“You, too, try to burn your body as hard as I did. All that belly fat will disappear and disappear.”

Cha So-hee, who was in uniform, was wearing a sports bra and underpants.

The clothes he was wearing looked like they had just been completely burned, turning his entire body into a ball of fire.

The reason the underwear was in good condition was probably because it had been treated with a special coating.

Right then.

Huh!

“Ugh!”

This time, Kang-hu’s body was heard.

Cha So-hee wrote Kidnapping.

This was possible thanks to the effect possessed by the constellation ‘Master of the Art of Living’, and it was a copy use of the previous skill.

However, because the efficiency was only 25%, the speed of being dragged away was not as fast as Kang-hu’s kidnapping.

‘It worked out better.’

It is a structure that benefits from narrowing the distance between each other. It’s like a different dream.

Kang-hoo needs to get closer to be able to attack with his dagger smoothly, and Cha So-hee can also increase the power of the flames.

Grumble!

Cha So-hee early created a red-hot fireball towards Kang-hoo, who was dragged in.

Just by looking at that color, it was so powerful that it felt as if my body would be erased like an eraser the moment it touched me.

【Self-Defense – Level 2】

Ganghu had his own goals, but it was necessary to defend against the fireball once.

So, I developed the second stage of self-defense.

It has the same structure as the first stage, but can be deployed continuously depending on the situation.

Whoa!

The fireball that started from Cha So-hee’s fingertips quickly narrowed the distance, matching the speed of Kang-hu being dragged along.

However, the fireball caught by the evasion effect of the first level of self-defense evaporated before it reached Ganghu.

“…uh?”

Cha So-hee’s eyes were full of question marks.

This is because it is very rare to see a case where a skill evaporates like this.

I couldn’t even imagine that Ganghu, an assassin, would have this kind of skill.

Cheap job!

Meanwhile, Ganghu took advantage of the weapon recovery of the armor ‘Molis Manice’ and reaped the joy of the sky.

He then immediately swung downwards and completed preliminary preparations to use the skill ‘Wind Thunder’.

In order to activate a thunderbolt, the weapon that acts as a medium must be in place on the ground.

You can think of each weapon as acting as a complete magic circle.

【Wind Thunder】

Wind Lightning, a buff-type skill.

It is a skill that whips up all targets except the caster with a strong wind and sharp wind within a 5m radius.

Although there was a low probability, there was also the possibility of generating a strong current storm and causing an electric shock.

Did he intuitively have a premonition that Kang-hu was up to some strange trick?

Cha So-hee raised both hands high in the sky.

Then, a red cloud summoned in the empty air began to rain fire.

Just as the storm had no effect on Kang-hu.

The rain that is falling now will not harm Cha So-hee at all and will actually protect her.

Kugwagwagwa!

“Aaaah!”

However, the first striker was faster than Ganghu.

After activation was completed, Poongnoejin began to scratch Cha Sohee fiercely.

Even the clothes he was wearing were burned away, so red scars appeared continuously on his white skin.

Chi-ik! Cheek!

“Shit.”

Of course, Kang Hu wasn’t all that well either.

Smoke rose from various parts of the body touched by the pouring rain of fire, burning the skin.

If fire rain touched the same wound again, it felt like the muscles and bones inside would melt.

The good news was that each flame was large in size, so the amount was less than the actual rain.

【True Aim】

So, I used the True Aim skill to check the location and path of the nearest flame.

When I zoomed in and looked at the movement, there was definitely a part where the path and its power could be predicted in advance.

“Fuck…!”

Cha So-hee, who had two deep scars on her cheek, cursed and began to back away.

It seemed that Poongnoejin had realized that within a set radius, it would only attack itself without touching Ganghu at all.

【Hallucination】

Meanwhile, Kang-hoo uses a hallucination skill on Cha So-hee, who is still struggling in the storm.

With a straight aim, I jumped across the flames, having figured out the predicted path.

If the calculation was wrong, the acceleration of the jump itself could have resulted in a literal shower of flames.

Thanks to calculating the exact timing, I was able to escape the dangerous area with only a few flames barely touching me.

Grumble!

Meanwhile, the flame that started from Cha So-hee’s fingertips flew somewhere.

It was a shot that went in a completely wrong direction, considering she had been through all sorts of hardships.

‘You got caught.’

It seemed like the hallucination had worked.

However, against a skilled hunter, this kind of residual skill will never last long.

‘Here’s where the odds are in the game.’

I immediately brought out the second plan.

From the beginning, I never thought that Cha So-hee could be summed up by writing just one brief article.

The difference between objective levels and stats is clear, and the longer the battle takes, the more variables there are.

Considering various variables, it was inevitable that Kang-hu himself would end up at a disadvantage.

so.

【Use skill enhancement.】

【The skill to be strengthened is ‘Protection Barrier’.】

Without hesitation, I used the one skill enhancement opportunity I had on Protection Barrier.

If the self-defense skill is a defense skill specialized in neutralizing a single attack.

The protective barrier was a defense skill specialized in continuously enduring based on a set durability.

【Protection Barrier】

【Skill Proficiency: Ultimate】

【Creates a circular transparent barrier that protects all sides of the caster.】 【

Both an installation type that is installed in a specific space and an integrated type that moves together with the caster as a central point are possible.】 【

Related to whether or not durability decreases. Mana is continuously depleted, and when durability reaches 0, a 0.1-second invincibility barrier is activated.】 【If the

protective barrier is destroyed, the ‘Desolation’ effect is activated and all mana in a 10m radius evaporates.】

Following the bloodization, the two A second ultimate skill has been created.

It was a protective barrier, a higher version of a protective barrier.

Unlike the protective barrier, which could only be installed as an installation type, it was now possible to breathe with Ganghu.

Even if it wasn’t right now, it was right to invest in defense skills in the long run.

Assassins are a class that requires attention to defense and extremely shortened concentration time.

If there is a protective barrier, there is no reason to worry about defense until the durability of the barrier disappears.

In other words, you can focus solely on attacking. It had high utility value in many ways.

Wow!

Kang-hoo spread a protective barrier and immediately started running towards Cha So-hee.

I felt like a huge amount of mana was exploding, but it didn’t matter right now.

Mad Solarchium completely suppresses pain, and thanks to this, there is no penalty to mana supply, although it is temporary.

There may be some aftereffects after the effect is over, but that’s something you just have to settle with your body at that time.

【Acceleration】

【Leap】

【Muyeong】

Since it was a game where we decided to win, skill linking was also unstoppable.

As I entered maximum acceleration, all the surrounding scenery stretched out like a single line.

Then, the linked jump allowed the body to gain a tremendous amount of momentum.

In the meantime, Muyoung made Cha Sohee realize it late by eliminating any signs or sounds as much as possible.

Although she was just emerging from the swamp of hallucinations, Kang-hoo’s next step was half a beat faster than her.

【Great Decapitation】

Kang Hu had all his power stored in the fist he was holding.

A mass beheading has such destructive power.

“I wonder if it will work…!”

Cha So-hee’s voice, full of venom, rang out.

Kuwaaagh! Woe! Kuwaak!

The flames that Cha So-hee, filled with anger, poured out in all directions also flew towards Kang-hoo.

However, the protective barrier was able to withstand one frontal blow thanks to its ample durability.

Thanks to its all-in-one design, there were no problems protecting Ganghu in the air.

Suddenly.

The distance between Kang-hoo and Cha So-hee narrowed to less than a finger’s span.

and.

Phew…!

There was a heavy feeling in Kang-hoo’s right hand and a cold feeling in Cha So-hee’s lower abdomen.

It was a moment when the fates of two people crossed, facing the same situation but completely different results.

“….”

As if time had stopped for a moment.

Cha So-hee’s eyes, which stopped all movement, looked downward cautiously or with fear.

That moment.

Push shoo shoot!

she could see

Red blood began to drip onto his stomach, which had never had even the slightest scratch before.

It was clearly blood that looked exactly like his own bright red flame.

At the same time, Kang Hu’s cold voice rang coldly into her ears.

“Lady first. I will keep your manners even on the way to the underworld.”

It was a word from Kang-hoo who was confident about Cha So-hee’s future.
