The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 61

Episode 61: Imbalance Point (1)

* * *

The work of digging up a generous amount of Latheus pyrostone was easily completed once the gang at the entrance was cleared out.

Kang Hoo-ji was worried that traps had been elaborately set up to keep intruders in check.

That seemed to be an overestimation of them.

It was strange that I couldn’t avoid obvious traps.

Of course, it seemed easy to Ganghu, but if another hunter had come, the story would have been very different.

Things went well.

However, I saw that some gang members were coming this way and saw the battle unfolding and went to the entrance.

So even if nothing special happened here, there seemed to be some problems later when trying to leave the dungeon.

Open dungeons have the same entrance and exit, unlike closed dungeons where the exit opens after completing the attack.

‘First, think about it then.’

Kang-hu postponed his worries.

There is no benefit in thinking about what is at the entrance or how the situation will turn out.

You just have to think about it, check, and decide when you go out. You can also come up with an escape strategy at that time.

Kang Hu called Ban Se-young and shared a bed with him.

He gave her the promised quantity and also took a more generous amount from the requested quantity.

The battle at the entrance went easier than expected and Ban Se-young did nothing, but he still didn’t act coldly.

Her presence alone must have made some hunters feel intimidated or unable to fight actively.

Ban Se-young, who had received the chair from Kang-hoo, bowed his head gratefully.

“thank you. “I thought things were going to be difficult.”

“Well, thanks to you, I didn’t have to go too far and I got rid of the sleeping stone, so it’s mutually beneficial.”

“Oppa Seongyu.”

“huh?”

“Where do you belong? Just by looking at it, it looks like you’re in a pretty famous guild, right? yes?”

If hunters think they have some skills, they first ask about their affiliation.

Is this a preconceived notion? He believes that the world will never leave such a skilled hunter alone.

Of course, there are cases where people engage in mercenary activities despite their skills.

Ban Se-young, the person in front of Kang-hoo right now, is such a case.

Contrary to Kang-hu’s opinion that she has skills, she herself says that she does not participate in guild activities because of her ‘fatal weakness’.

Anyway, in Kanghu’s eyes, she was a perfectly optimized support gunner.

In particular, the magic bullet hit rate was amazing.

Unlike regular guns, guns that shoot magic bullets must take into account both mana flow and output air resistance.

It is not easy to hit it because the target’s tenacity and resistance must also be taken into consideration.

Gunner is not called a job with high scarcity value for nothing.

At the same time, it is also treated as a job with greatly reduced efficiency. But she was a little different.

“I don’t belong.”

“really? “You have this kind of skill, but you just leave it alone?”

“Because the choice is mine.”

“Nonsense. “When I saw the battle earlier, I saw that you used a lot of skills in that short period of time, right?”

Ban Se-young naturally thought that Kang-hoo was a hunter who received full support from the guild.

I assumed that they would have received skill book support from time to time. That’s how diverse Ganghu’s attack repertoire was.

However, when he said Dokgodai, something seemed incoherent and she narrowed her eyes.

I was wondering if Kang-hu was lying.

But other than that, I wondered if there was any need to lie about my affiliation.

“ruler. I guess that’s all we have to do. “If it’s okay, can I get your number?”

Kang Hoo usually doesn’t ask for my number first, but this time he asked for my number.

I’m not trying to do her any good.

I think efficiency will be maximized if she can play as a support team and play as a team.

“I’m good! But am I the right person for you?”

Ban Se-young was already very intimidated by Kang-hoo.

If he had seen Ganghu’s level information, he would have wanted to go to a mouse hole and hide.

In her mind, Ganghu was portrayed as a talented hunter who was level 250 or higher.

“We’ll have to meet again to find out whether we get along or not.”

“but.”

In response to Kang-hoo’s simple answer, Ban Se-young immediately wrote down his number.

I quite liked Kang-hoo’s style, which seemed quite restrained but still said what he had to say.

“See you again.”

After receiving the number, Kang-hu left immediately.

There was no reason to keep this site, which had become a tomb, since the mining of the jadeite was over.

Now it’s time to find the imbalance point.

The time has come to benefit from the errors created by space, time, and dimension.

* * *

Same time.

Jang Si-hwan continued to review data on the mysterious person who took Tae-soo Gong’s left arm.

I was spending more time than usual, to the point where Chae Gwan-hyung scolded me and asked why I was so interested.

It was instinct and intuition.

So far, Jang Si-hwan has trusted his own thoughts and feelings in the process of increasing useful colleagues and subordinates.

The thought that he would be someone who would be of great help to me if I could connect with him in some kind of connection.

The representative relationship formed in that way was with Chae Gwan-hyung, and all the executives of the Jeonghwa Guild were also like that.

CCTV footage from the scene where Prince Gong was ambushed was unable to determine who it was.

So, we secured all the internal CCTV information of all buses operating in the vicinity that day, as well as videos from the streets and even the rooftops of buildings.

And the first filtering was completed by mobilizing information team personnel.

For example, people who clearly appear to be ordinary people are excluded from the candidate group.

Furthermore, hunters who appear to be magic healers, etc. are also excluded from the line of interest.

Classification was not difficult as the weapons worn and clothing were recognizable.

In addition, among the faces identified in the video, all hunters with guild affiliations were excluded.

Unless he was crazy, there was no way he would have aimed for Tae-soo Gong’s arm while belonging to the guild.

In this way, the names of the identified mercenaries were being filled into the preliminary list.

The hunter who cut off Prince Gong’s arm must be a mercenary.

however.

“huh?”

Although he is not a publicly known person, Jang Si-hwan showed a face that was not seen for the first time.

The face is familiar, but I don’t remember it right away. Why is that so?

I turned my thoughts back to the past.

“ah. Observatory?”

Only then did the memory come to mind.

Hunter was sitting next to him at the observatory.

This was the hunter whose expression did not change even after seeing him.

My first impression was that it was different from other hunters, so I remembered it, and that hunter’s face was caught on video.

“Hehe… I moved alone. Is the armament a dagger? “Did you even leave a comfortable bus and move to the roof of the building?”

The corners of Jang Si-hwan’s mouth rose.

Kang-hu was caught thanks to the CCTV, which was turned in the other direction due to a loose joint.

The quality of the picture was good, so the time Kang-hu was on screen was very short, but it was very easy to recognize his face.

Of course, there are times when hunters with good jumping skills jump from building to building.

This is when you urgently need to chase someone or run away.

However, not only was it rarely done for fun, but there was one more thing that made me suspicious.

At this time, Gong Tae-su was traveling on the road in a bus.

In other words, Kanghu, the main character in the video, was clearly traveling a route similar to that of a bus.

“Hey, this is going fun.”

My curiosity boiled over as I thought that this could be the man who cut off Tae-su Gong’s left arm.

The man at the observatory whom I thought was unusual from the first time we met.

The possibility that he was the hunter targeting Gong Tae-soo was rapidly increasing in Jang Si-hwan’s mind.

* * *

Around that time.

“The dungeon is large and there are many crazy people.”

Ganghu was looking at the list of constellations that he had killed and robbed of the two hunters who had been following him and attempted to ambush him.

【Great Dictator】

【An additional 10% experience points are provided when playing solo. The speed of health recovery is doubled.】

【Desert Fox】

【Additionally 25% experience points are provided in desert dungeons. Stamina recovery speed doubles.】

At first, the constellation composition of the two hunters was so similar that I wondered if they were a couple or twins.

anyway.

The Great Dictator Constellation had good synergy with Ganghu, whose solo play rate was close to 100%.

Desert Fox was also a very efficient constellation if you could select a desert-type dungeon to travel to.

It’s just pathetic that the two guys died while cowardly attempting a surprise attack with a constellation like this.

“This is a tree that gives generously since it died by giving items.”

I also took items worth 1 billion won from the two hunters.

Since it was a mana-related item, Ganghu didn’t need it, so he decided to sell it to Lee Yerin.

There was some commotion for a moment.

Kang-hoo, who entered his original route again, looked back on his memories and quickly found his destination.

There was an imbalance point in a place that you would not be able to find if you did not clearly remember the contents of the original work.

“see.”

Characteristics are revealed.

It is a scene that cannot be seen unless you look closely, but can be found if you know the errors.

Among the tree branches swaying in the wind in a dense forest, there is one that continues to sway in the opposite direction of the wind.

Since dungeons are ultimately a product of systems and data, it is a type of error that occurred during the implementation process.

Among hundreds of trees, only that branch moves differently from the law of nature.

Behind the tree, there is a hidden space where you can activate the imbalance point.

Because the space was transparent, it was a position that could not even be guessed unless one knew that there was something called an imbalance point.

‘If you think of it as a martial arts novel, it’s an elixir, but if you think of it as a fantasy novel, it’s called Mandragog. The exclusive property of the main character in the novel.’

The imbalance point has that meaning. A definite turning point that helps the protagonist grow rapidly.

In the original work, Jang Si-hwan enjoyed the privilege of all imbalance points.

That won’t happen anymore.

Ganghu immediately approached right in front of him, stretched out his hand in the air, and began to slowly flow mana.

I also prepared to eat solarium in preparation for situations where the burden would become severe.

I would tolerate a moderate headache, but if the pressure got worse, I planned to eat it.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

The air, which was as transparent as the mana that Kanghu infused, began to gradually become overlaid with an opaque sky blue.

Although it was only a short time, the imbalance point consumed as much as 100 mana in an instant.

Since Ganghu had a nearly infinite supply of mana, the attempt would have ended if it had not been a disaster.

How much time has passed?

The energy of the space changed to a clear sky blue and began to revolve around Ganghu.
