Episode 159 Skill Bulk Harvest (3)

* * *

Kang-hu, who was curious about the situation on the other side, jumped up the rock wall with Park Dong-jae.

It was the same method used when rescuing Ahn Young-ho in the past, when he went up from the lower floors of the building to the rooftop.

Although the original jumping power was halved with each additional person, it was still possible to climb the rock face without difficulty.

It was a good place to climb, as there was enough space to put your feet up here and there.

“My brother is capable of everything.”

“It doesn’t look like that anymore.”

“No. I knew it before, but I didn’t know it was something that could help with rock climbing.”

Park Dong-jae stuck out his tongue as he looked down at the rock climbing route he had climbed with Kang-hoo.

I knew he had a leaping skill, but I didn’t know he could use it to ascend vertically as well.

Even with one more person, the propulsion was strong enough to cover a sufficient distance.

When I looked up from the top of the cliff, I could see the situation on the other side at a glance.

As we passed the sound barrier, the sounds of the scene became more realistic.

The soundproof barrier had no other function than blocking sound, so there was no problem in freely moving through it.

“hmm…….”

Kang-hoo looked over the situation.

Three hunters were fighting what appeared to be the main boss monster.

“Inspector, wizard, archer. The combination is good. But why do they all look so bad?”

“The inspector looks the worst. He also seems to be injured.”

“I see. It looks like there’s a tear in the muscle on your side. The way you swing your sword is awkward.”

“Can you see that?”

“Then you can’t see it?”

“Uh… … I can’t see it.”

“Try to develop your discernment.”

Kang-hoo smiled and scolded him. Of course, he didn’t mean to make Park Dong-jae feel bad.

Being able to see the situation and find clues is one of the most important virtues for a hunter.

The information is there, but if you don’t know how to interpret it, you’re at a loss. That much of the advantage is lost.

“Should I intervene?”

“No. We’re the advance team, so there’s no need to do that. Just let them know that we exist.”

“What should we do?”

“Let’s go a little further forward and show our faces. In return, let’s show that we have no hostile intentions.”

Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae took a few more steps forward.

Then, he appeared at the edge of the cliff and took up a position where he could be seen by his opponents.

In fact, if I had intended to do something bad, I could have easily attacked the hunters who were fighting right now.

This is because there are many ways to use the boss monster’s attack pattern as if it were an ally’s movement.

But Kang-hoo always thought of himself as someone in a gray area.

Black area. So I didn’t want to do human garbage things.

I can do it, but I’m more inclined to not do it. It’s probably the only conscience I have left in this body.

“… … .”

Kang-hoo held his breath and watched the main boss monster’s movements.

The name is Turbo. It is a humanoid monster with a slender build, but its destructive power is considerable.

Upon closer inspection.

Turbo had an attack pattern similar to that of Sammy’s ‘Annihilation Battle’, which Kang-hoo had previously faced.

The reason the 3-person team we’re currently attacking is struggling is because they’re not responding to this pattern properly.

There were far more spheres than in Sammy’s Annihilation Tournament.

In particular, this sphere had a very strong power to push the target back, whether it was blocked or hit.

As a result, the damage increased exponentially the closer you were to block or receive it.

There were more tricky points.

After pushing back the hunter’s approach in this extreme way, he strikes him with his main weapon, the ‘whip’.

It was a long whip that could hit from a long distance, so it was bound to be a painful experience for the person being hit.

Chomp!

“Kwaaak!”

Eventually, one of the prosecutors who was hit by the whip fell out, vomiting blood.

At that moment, Park Dong-jae flinched and tried to stand up, but Kang-hoo caught him.

“wait.”

“Isn’t it dangerous?”

“Helping someone before they ask for help is both meddling and insulting.”

“ah…….”

“You may say it’s good intentions, but the other person may see it as you taking away their chance to prove themselves.”

“It takes away the opportunity to prove… … .”

“I’m going to keep holding on because I can do it. When things get tough, I’ll get on my knees and beg even if I don’t want to step forward.”

“Okay, bro.”

“Just because you are well-intentioned, don’t think the other person will think you are well-intentioned. That is arrogant thinking.”

Park Dong-jae nodded repeatedly as if he had gained insight from Kang-hoo’s words. He was absolutely right.

At that time, the three people were aware of the existence of Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae.

I wanted to ask for help, but as Kang-hoo said, the three hunters were people with fighting spirit.

The calculation was that if we give up too easily or ask for help in this crisis, growth will stagnate.

So I was fighting as hard as I could, but the situation was getting worse.

* * *

Quite some time has passed.

Kang-hoo quietly observed all of Turbo’s movements and recorded each and every one of them clearly in his head.

Park Dong-jae was also learning the Turbo pattern at Kang-hoo’s suggestion.

Buffer also had to study, and he did not take Kang-hoo’s words that ignorance meant death in vain.

“It looks like it’ll end in one blow. The balance is completely broken.”

Kang-hoo, who had been watching silently, muttered while looking at the inspector.

Park Dong-jae thought that the inspection was holding up quite well, but his prediction was immediately wrong.

“evil!”

The inspector, whose neck was hit by a whip, rolled his eyes and flew away for a long time.

He probably lost consciousness at the same time he felt pain in his neck. He probably didn’t even realize he was screaming.

The wizards and archers who lost their main tanks became anxious.

It was a major crisis, as the inspector who had been restraining Turbo’s movements had disappeared.

“Please help me!”

The wizard shouted.

But Kang-hoo was not moved by those words.

Right now, I am not here to watch or do good deeds.

They are waiting to help you in return for a solid reward, if needed. They are a kind of mercenary.

As Kang-hoo remained motionless, the archer next to him shouted.

“Do you need collateral?”

Nod.

Kang-hoo reacted.

Then, the wizard, perhaps thinking that he had missed something important, took something out of his bosom.

It was an orange magic stone.

The wizard took out two, and the archer took out one.

The wizard gathered these together and sent them all at once to Kang-hoo using his telekinesis skill.

Collateral: 30 billion won.

This was a sufficient allowance to intervene.

They must have been so anxious that they reacted even though Kang-hoo could have just eaten the magic stone and escaped.

“Let’s split it once we’re done. I’ll keep it for now.”

“Brother, are you okay?”

“I figured it out. You?”

“Honestly, I’m a little worried. His patterns are too complicated. He seems crazy.”

“Just make sure the buff doesn’t run out. And stay behind the wizard and archer. Then you won’t be the first target.”

“Yeah, I got it.”

He didn’t forget to give practical advice. He said it indirectly, but he said that if necessary, use magicians and archers as shields.

Kang-hoo landed on the ground while using his jumping skill with Park Dong-jae.

If he had jumped without thinking, Park Dong-jae’s two legs would not have remained.

Before landing, Kang-hoo created a safety cushion(?) using his cute skill, so he was able to land safely.

Of course, it was a safety device that only applied to Park Dong-jae, and Kang-hoo was able to settle on the ground with light movements.

The ability to transfer the weight of one’s body through movement is a basic skill that an assassin must possess.

“Hold them at maximum range. While I focus on Turbo, I won’t be able to protect you.”

Kang-hoo gave a warning and a request to the magician and the archer.

I wrote in English, and he seemed to understand right away. I realized that English is truly the world’s common language.

“thank you.”

“please.”

Right in front of them, he created a protective barrier reinforced with strong overlap.

It was a very sturdy frontal defensive barrier, twice as thick as before.

“and…….”

“A defensive skill like this here?”

The wizard suddenly looked surprised as he saw Kang-hoo’s back as he headed towards Turbo.

Because I never thought that an assassin would come out with a defensive skill that seemed to have greater durability and thickness than my own.

The wizard had a basic yet highly skilled defensive skill called Mana Shield, which was considered the wizard’s first option. However, it was nothing compared to Kang-hoo’s protective barrier.

For a moment, I felt a strong sense of self-loathing.

Because I felt that my own bread-and-butter skills were worse than those of an assassin.

at that time.

Kuaaaah!

As Turbo used his ‘Tornado’ skill, he once again created multiple spheres.

The spheres that flew in quickly struck the protective barrier, but the barrier withstood the attacks reliably.

What surprised the magician, the archer, and Park Dong-jae wasn’t just the durability of the barrier.

In the meantime, Kang-hoo was digging between the spheres and quickly approaching Turbo.

Earlier, no matter how much the inspector tried to avoid Turbo’s attack, he was unable to do so and was pushed back after blocking it with his sword.

However, Kang-hoo had already anticipated the path of the projectiles, as they never hit the target even once.

‘Because I mixed up the rhythm with the rules, people mistook it for irregularity. I stimulated the hunters’ fear, making it difficult for them to see the pattern objectively.’

Kang-hoo had already made his own judgment.

There is a route that the sphere must pass through. That is the regular route. This route must be avoided at all costs.

And there are cases where the projectiles fly intermittently, with completely out-of-time beats.

This is a rule disguised as irregular. The beat is unpredictable, but the number of cases for that route is 5.

After digesting five different patterns, it would return to the first pattern.

By combining these two major situations into one, a route that would temporarily become a safe zone was revealed.

Kang-hoo was aiming for that path.

“and…….”

“What am I looking at right now? It’s too fast for me to just look and avoid it.”

“It’s not about seeing and avoiding. It’s about knowing and avoiding.”

The wizard and the archer’s mouths dropped open. Soon, they were only praising Kang-hoo’s skills.

Before he knew it, Kang-hoo was so close to Turbo that he could barely walk or two to him.

Turbo looked just as bewildered as his colleagues watching from behind.

An attack of your own that you cannot avoid no matter how hard you try.

But Kang-hoo has arrived right in front of us without even a single scratch on his clothes.

It was a situation that greatly hurt his pride. Turbo’s face, which had been calm throughout, turned red.

Kang-hoo, who approached Turbo, jumped forward with all his might and raised his dagger.

It was a leap forward with a firm will to just stick the dagger in without worrying about anything else.

at that time.

“Ugh.”

Turbo, whose eyes met Kang-hoo’s, snickered and disappeared from sight.
