The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself

Time of the Beast (2)

【Relentless Patience – Ring】

【Rating: Level 4】

【HP +100】

【25% pain reduction effect is always applied even in normal times.】

It was a very useful ring that had the effect of increasing physical strength and reducing pain at the same time.

Kang Hu has long been interested in means that can alleviate pain.

It was the next best thing to congenital mana hypersensitivity, for which a cure had not yet been found.

Even if you fall into a state of hypersensitivity, if you can reduce the pain, you can somehow endure it.

But now, when I fall into a state of irritability, I get a severe headache, and soon my whole body starts to get wet in pain as if I was hit with a hammer.

Ganghu wanted to gain the strength to endure here as well.

The time he endured in pain was an advantage for Kang-hoo.

The pain relief is also a very significant effect, but the feeling was even greater as my physical strength increased by 100.

Even if your body suffers from anaphylaxis, a steady increase in stamina will slow the count down.

To put it simply, it was an extra 100 seconds.

100 seconds in combat is also a time that can change a lot.

Dispose of all the japtem you have, and finish purchasing the necessary items.

Kang-hoo, who came out of the market, stopped by a cafe for a while before going back to the original point.

I don’t have much taste for expensive Americano, but I wanted to take a moment to cool my head.

Gulp- Gulp-.

“Is canned coffee the truth?”

Kang Hu, who swallowed half of it at once, muttered, biting the tip of his bitter tongue.

The bitter taste is very awkward, perhaps because I am used to sweet canned coffee or the intense first taste of Solakium Burst.

It was all the more so because the sap of solacium, which was often eaten, had a slightly sweet taste.

‘If you learn the beheading skill book as it was, the efficiency will be infinitely low, so a trick is needed after all… … .’

Kang Hu’s eyes deepened.

If you learn a skill that does not match your class characteristics, the efficiency will be 15% no matter how high you set it.

In other words, if Ganghu just learns the great beheading skill, he will get a skill that only has the name of the great beheading, but the destructive power is terrible.

However, due to the nature of ‘Xin Ganghu’, which can steal boss skills, there was a way to come up with an unexpected idea.

After forcibly learning a skill from a boss, kill the boss and steal the skill.

Of course, this method is not applicable to all bosses. If so, I would have done it right away.

‘There are five possible places in Korea. Except that four of them are in the hands of warlords.’

One place remains.

This dungeon is located in Suwon Station and is owned by the Onnuri Guild, which is based in the area.

‘I think it would be better to run to Suwon Station immediately after taking care of the vacancy and receiving the request allowance.’

I made up my next plan.

Before it was too late, I was thinking of learning the beheading skill and adding another much more powerful attack skill.

The flower of a hunter is skill. And it’s more than one. There’s nothing bad about having a lot of skills.

“… … ?”

Right then.

Kang-hu, who was looking out the window in the cafe, was slightly shaken.

This is because the target was found in an unexpected place.

It was empty.

Of course, I knew he hadn’t entered the dungeon in the first place, so it wasn’t surprising that he was outside.

But was there something else to see, or was there room to spare? It must have been near the market.

【New Shrine】

[You, imbued with the fighting spirit of the shrine, increase the accuracy of magic and arrow attacks by 5 times compared to before.]

【Cradle of Gluttony】

[The Constellation, which constantly covets mana, has completed a bizarre system that utilizes mana.]

【Consumes 20% of mana whenever necessary to recover 20% of HP.】

‘It’s definitely a vacancy.’

After Kang Hu checked the constellation information displayed by him, he was convinced.

Gong Tae-soo’s constellation is correct.

Self-healing plus self-hit correction.

That’s why it’s easy to take the life of the Hunter.

If you endure well and kill well, opponents with poor skills have no choice but to die.

It makes sense.

This is just the beginning.

For Hunters between level 100 and 200, the Constellations do not adhere well to each other.

When it reaches 200 or more and enters a stable and full-fledged growth trajectory, the story changes.

Considered like a ‘safety asset’ that will never die, constellations that want to raise their own status along with the continuous growth of contractors are flocking to it.

From this point on, the number of Constellation contract applications increased.

‘Like Heo Jeong-tae, it’s a bit disgusting every time I see it.’

Ganghu fixed his eyes on Gong Tae-soo, who was looking around with his arms crossed and a haughty look.

it’s the perfect girl

The fake that he sent into the dungeon earlier as his ‘substitute’ looked exactly the same as Gong Tae-soo.

Looking at Gong Tae-soo dressed as a woman, I couldn’t recall the original Gong Tae-soo’s face.

It’s kind of disgusting to think like this, but I’ve become a pretty girl.

Of course, it must also be because of the original version.

If Kanghu hadn’t had the ability to scan constellations, it was a camouflage that he would never have recognized even with that good eye.

“… … .”

There is an escort at a distance.

They pretended not to be part of the group or pretended not to know, but at least ten hunters were guarding the surroundings.

A warship with an escort even while in camouflage?

It seemed like I shouldn’t have rushed into it.

Right then.

Woo woo.

The town bus arrives.

Gong Tae-soo and his escorts boarded the bus at different times. It is the appearance of an ordinary person who is not young.

I want to get on the same bus comfortably and follow behind, but it’s not a good way.

It wouldn’t be a problem if he accompanied him for a short while, but if all the routes he took with Gong Tae-soo were similar, he would be suspicious.

“I hate the sunlight… … .”

Ganghu frowned as he looked at the roof of the building in front of him.

The time when the sun is pouring down especially strongly.

I want to avoid direct sunlight… … .

It seemed like it would be better to jump from building to building and chase the bus if you wanted to be less visible.

Since it is in the city center, there were enough building rooftops to cross as a stepping stone.

What matters is concentration.

Beep beep! widely!

Kang-hu, who drank the rest of the Americano down, put down the cup and stood up.

again and again

When the ice that had been rolling around in the cup stopped moving and returned to its place.

Papat-Pat-Pat-!

Ganghu was already heading towards the rooftop quickly along the stairs.

Woo woo.

Soon after, the bus departed.

It was the beginning of the chase.

* * *

‘It’s worth it.’

Perhaps it was because she had steadily increased her stamina, her body held up quite well despite the continuous use of skills.

In the section where the bus speeds up, the frequency of using the leap skill also increased.

Since he had the stamina to endure even if mana hypersensitivity was activated, he gained endurance in conjunction with the pain relief effect.

In addition, when the bus gets stuck at a stop sign, Kang-hoo has time to recover as much as he is given time to rest.

After a while.

It was about a kilometer away from the dungeon when the group of goons got off the bus.

At first, I thought it might have been to keep a reasonable distance from the scene.

But as time passed, a different purpose was revealed.

‘This must have been the gathering point.’

What came into Ganghu’s field of view was the appearance of several buildings and hunters scattered in each building.

They were all dressed in plain clothes, but it was not difficult to read the life in their eyes.

They were Gong Tae-soo’s subordinates.

It was a big picture to attack the mercenaries who were waiting for the fakes to come out of the dungeon.

fake – mercenary – real.

Wires will be woven in this structure.

In this way, the mercenaries who will be ambushed from the rear will be helpless.

As a rule of thumb, it was 100 people.

It was only here that Gong Tae-soo would not have placed his men.

There seemed to be other places of similar size.

Goosebumps ran down his forearm.

How does Gong Tae-soo feel?

Would you feel the joy of the thought of defeating all mercenaries from all over the country to kill yourself?

It will.

I probably won’t even keep it alive.

There is a high possibility that he will present hell to the mercenaries, to the extent that he would rather feel happy to die.

‘It’s a battle of patience, now.’

There is still time left before the fake vacancy comes out.

Until then, the real gongtaeksu will be in the right place and aim for the best timing.

Kang-hoo also planned to hide in the shadows and darkness and wait until the end.

No matter how confident you are in battle, running into that huge crowd is madness.

‘Because it’s a magic world, I’ll be careful.’

Ganghu was sure that Gong Tae-soo would keep his distance from major battlefields due to the nature of his mage class.

This is because wizards have a hard time separating a group once they make up their minds and start to cling.

So there was a high possibility that he would send his subordinates in moderation and keep a distance by coordinating the war situation with the front line.

Ganghu was thinking of aiming for the moment when Gong Tae-soo would be left alone or only a small number of escorts would be left.

at that time.

As if feeling something strange, Gong Tae-soo’s gaze turned to the location where Kang-hu had just been.

“… … .”

However, he couldn’t see Kang-hoo, who had already gone into stealth due to horizontal movement.

Gong Tae-soo thought that he had become very sensitive, and soon turned his gaze elsewhere.

It was time for him to disappear again.

* * *

dawn the next day.

When even the moon is covered by clouds and the darkest hour in the world has arrived.

“Gong Tae-soo is out! kill! Let’s kill him!”

The mercenaries, who had been waiting for the right moment, shouted at the fake Tae-soo who came out after clearing the dungeon.

Then, the surroundings of the dungeon, where until just now only the occasional sound of cars passing by, became noisy.

Convenience stores, hotels, restaurants, and alleys.

The mercenaries who had been hiding anywhere appeared.

“Protect the captain!”

“backwards! Get back!”

The ‘bait’ that Gong Tae-su had sprinkled in advance performed its role appropriately.

Embarrassed, the fake Gong Tae-soo began to quickly back away with his subordinates.

Ganghu was not at all interested in the direction that would become a major battlefield.

I just focused on the sounds I heard.

As long as Gong Tae-soo has laid the table, quite a few mercenaries will die here.

At least, only mercenaries with some skills will find a way to survive or break through the siege and escape.

Ganghu looked away just once, just in case.

I wondered if Yoon Sang-mi might also be among the mercenaries, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Of course, I had no intention of going to rescue her just because she was in a group.

Right then.

Susseussut!

With the hand gestures of a real gongtaesu.

At an appropriate distance, the members of the Red Blood organization waiting outside moved along the road.

This was before the full-scale siege began.

It’s the worst of the worst for mercenaries.

Kang Hu only focused his gaze on Gong Tae-soo.

After all, there is only one request subject. It’s not that the price of someone else’s life is at stake.

Even if one arm is cut off, it is 2.5 billion won.

It was too easy for Kang-hoo to focus all his thoughts and mind on that moment.

Time passes, and again.

Conversely, when the mercenaries trapped in the siege began to scream and run towards death.

Kang Hu could see the escorts guarding Gong Tae-soo heading towards the battlefield one by one.

Gong Tae-soo is empowering them for complete annihilation. It was a strategic enough choice.

But to Kang-hoo, who had been waiting for hours, holding his breath, for the moment when the prey became alone.

“… … .”

Right now, this moment was the beast’s time to start hunting.
