The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself - Chapter 160

Episode 160 Skill Bulk Harvest (4)

One of the Turbo’s unique features was its ability to use lateral movement.

This was a characteristic that Kang-hu, who had watched the battle earlier, had immediately noticed, so it was within the expected range.

However, on the contrary, there was something that Turbo did not know: that Kang-hoo also knew how to use horizontal movement.

“Huh… … ?”

Turbo was surprised to see Kang-hoo’s back, which was not visible even though he had clearly moved behind Kang-hoo.

Since I used a horizontal movement in the form of moving behind the target, it is normal for his back to be visible.

But where Kang-hoo should have been, there was nothing.

Pok! Pok pok! Pok! Pok!

“Kuaaaah!”

A lot happened in a split second.

Turbo was helpless when Kang-hoo attacked from the rear, something he had not expected at all.

I was attacked so many times in an instant that I felt a burning sensation all over my body, from the back of my neck to my waist.

“Kkkkkk! As expected, it’s Kang-hoo hyung!”

Park Dong-jae, who was watching the situation, shouted.

It was refreshing to recall Turbo’s laughter as he responded to Kang-hoo’s attacks with horizontal movement.

Isn’t that right?

Turboda even laughed, saying that he could dodge your attacks as much as he wanted.

However, I felt relieved that my evasive maneuver was detected by Kang-hoo’s identical response.

Turbo’s lateral movement ended up being a waste of time.

It was worse than a head-on confrontation. There is no loss like this.

The only silver lining is that Turbo was able to force Kang-hoo to step back while he was in the giant slalom.

“Ugh… … Eww!”

Turbo, who was very angry, slammed his fist into the ground with all his might.

This is also one of the techniques of Turbo that Kang-hoo learned earlier, and it is a skill called ground striking.

It is a technique that floats a target into the air with a time difference, and since you can see the projectile flying in, you can respond at any time.

“… … .”

Kang-hoo didn’t move, waiting for the ground-slamming projectiles to fly.

This guy has tracking and homing abilities, so avoiding it in advance is pointless. Instead, it only drains your stamina.

Kuddddd!

Just as the ground slam that flew along the ground, shaking up the dirt and rocks, was about to hit Kang-hoo.

Phew!

I responded cleanly by using the quick evasion skill. I saw it and avoided it, so there was absolutely no reason why I couldn’t avoid it.

‘Since you only care about appearance and only focus on understanding extreme patterns, your response method becomes simple.’

Kang-hoo looked satisfied.

This type of approach was also used a lot by Takashi Akiyama in the original work.

Among the theories he advocated was the ‘pattern theory of everything’.

If you know the pattern, there is no monster you cannot defeat, even if the level difference is large.

The facts Takashi presented as evidence may sound a bit absurd, but to Kang-hoo, it was a very convincing story.

The basis for this was the fact that the Creator who created this world would not have put so much effort into creating all the main boss monsters.

It was also a word referring to the creator of this world, that is, the original author himself.

Of course, Takashi did not live aware that he was a character in a novel…

He was seriously discussing the Creator. As a result, Takashi’s prediction was correct.

First of all, I saved the blood.

It was judged that Turbo’s accumulated damage was not enough to send it in one shot.

In the meantime.

Kwah! Pwah!

Phew! Phew!

The attacks from the wizard and the archer struck Turbo one after another.

Turbo, who was completely absorbed in Kang-hoo, lost his balance and staggered helplessly.

It was a second chance.

“after!”

Turbo saw Kang-hoo’s movements as he approached, exhaling hot breath, and extended his fist again.

Plop!

But this time it was a clone.

Turbo, who momentarily lost sight of Kang-hoo’s location, wasted all his energy searching for a distant place.

Turbo had a fear engraved in his mind that his lateral movement had been detected and he had completely given up his rear.

So, in order to block Kang-hoo’s approach, I went back into the grand slam pattern.

This is because he thought that by doing this, he would be able to drive out Kang-hoo, even if it was threatening.

It is certain that Kang-hoo changed his plan to approach him closely, perhaps because he gritted his teeth and responded.

It was a great blast that created many more projectiles than before. It seemed to be an enhanced version.

Shadow walking is used appropriately.

I was able to easily change positions by using one of the shadows I had sent back.

A situation where all the remaining shadows were forced to approach Turbo.

Since they were shadows anyway, it didn’t matter if they were all hit and disappeared. There was no need to be foolish.

But Turbo seemed to care even about Kang-hoo’s shadow, and increased its rotation speed even further.

‘then.’

【The Art of Living – Ground Strike】

The calculation is straightforward.

A situation where the ground slam skill previously utilized by Turbo was temporarily copied as a survival strategy.

Kang-hoo returned the ground slam to Turbo, who was overreacting to the shadow.

Turbo, who was so absorbed in spinning, was unaware of his own clone skill flying along the ground.

The next moment.

Kuddddd!

The ground slam skill that reached Turbo.

“Whoa!”

Turbo’s body was lifted upwards. Needless to say, his giant slalom skills were also cut off at the same time.

at that time.

Kang-hoo identified one shadow that barely survived the sparring pattern.

The next location change is right there!

Then, Kang-hoo’s position, which had been far away, instantly changed to next to Turbo. It was the best position.

【Brain shock】

Kang-hoo laid down a thunderbolt that coolly wrapped Turbo’s entire body in the air with electricity.

Don’t miss it!

And then, surrendering himself to the orgy of electricity, he approached Turbo and drove a deadly knife into his body.

Since Kang-hoo was completely unaffected by the thunderbolt he had implemented, the current did not interfere with him at all.

The great beheading that was finally done.

Phew!

“Keuuuuuu… …!”

Hell has begun.

Not only was Turbo’s entire back and waist tattered, but blood was gushing from his exposed stomach where he had been decapitated.

This was the first time I used Thunder Strike against a boss monster after upgrading from Wind Strike.

I didn’t have high expectations because the existing Wind Storm Jin was not very good at dealing with boss monsters.

“Is it good?”

The effect was better than expected.

The frequency of current occurrence was also overwhelmingly high, and above all, the additional damage caused by penetrating the wound was great.

The hard, dry outer skin is not greatly affected by electric current, but the moist inner flesh is a different story.

This is especially true when the inside is made up of blood vessels, muscles, and numerous organs.

“Eudde! Eudde!”

Even after Turbo fell from the air, he couldn’t help but tremble as his body continued to act as it pleased.

Blood gushed out ceaselessly from the wounds on his body, as if he was looking at a water balloon with a hole in it.

There was nothing more to drag on.

【Blood】

Kang-hoo activated one of the skills that best suited Turbo at the moment.

and.

Pupupupu! Bang! Bang!

Turbo’s body, which had been turned into a living bomb, exploded without mercy, ending his life.

Considering the confident start, it was a pitiful ending.

【The level has increased significantly to 170.】

Kang-hoo’s level went up quickly after gaining a large amount of experience points.

Additionally, skill theft has been activated.

The ground slam and grand turn skills I’ve experienced were on the list, but I excluded them from the selection.

Ground strike took time to attack the target, so it was a skill that did not work well for Kang-hoo.

The Grand Tournament was excluded from the robbing for the same reason that Sammy’s skills were not robbed before.

So the skill I ultimately chose was Push.

We decided to steal the passive skill that Turbo used in conjunction with his grand battle attack.

【Push away】

【Skill Level: Lv. Max】

【Adds pushing power to attacks that throw projectiles or objects.

However, if disabled, no power is added.】

【The following is a list of skills that the current target can apply the push to.】

【Lightning Strike. Black Moon Strike. White Day Strike.】

‘Okay. It’s very useful because it can upset and disrupt the opponent’s balance by pushing them away.’

It was a skill I liked.

Skills that can create variables are always welcome.

Moreover, you don’t even need to worry about the pushing process, the skill characteristics will do it for you.

This was a very useful option. It was too much for a monster like Turbo.

* * *

Afterwards, the aftermath was dealt with.

As previously secretly agreed upon, the roles of Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae were split into the devil and the angel, respectively.

Park Dong-jae carefully examined the physical condition of the three hunters who helped him.

Kang-hoo looked at them fiercely with his arms crossed.

Because the story about the loot from killing Turbo has not been concluded.

Contrary to Kang-hoo’s expectations that they would think differently later, they reacted immediately.

“We have no desire to be greedy in a place where we almost died. We are satisfied with just sharing some of our experience.”

Without a word, the three hunters spoke almost simultaneously.

Even the seriously injured inspector Hunter has regained some of his energy thanks to the potion brought by Park Dong-jae.

They all had large and small wounds, but none of them were serious enough to be considered serious injuries.

“That was a really cool fight. I’ve never seen an assassin trample a boss monster like this before.”

“Plus, we were essentially doing one-on-one tanking without any assistance from other classes.”

The wizard and the archer hunter each expressed their feelings.

To be honest, I felt like I was inferior.

The boss monster that the three of them had been struggling with was defeated by Kang-hoo alone.

Of course, Kang-hoo thought that Park Dong-jae’s constant buff assistance and the support of the magician and archer also played a part.

The people involved were so intoxicated by Kang-hoo’s activities that they seemed to think he did it all by himself.

“I’m glad it ended without any trouble. I’ll gladly take the spoils.”

Kang-hoo answered calmly.

The atmosphere became much more relaxed as the story about the loot was concluded without conflict.

In fact, in the world of hunters, it is not uncommon for such things to become the seeds of additional conflict.

Even if you help or receive help, you become so focused on profit that you forget gratitude and end up in conflict.

at that time.

Kang-hoo looked at the shoulder straps of the three hunters who looked slightly familiar and asked.

“What guild do you belong to?”

“All three of us belong to the Spitfire Guild. The Spitfire Guild in Britain, by any chance?”

I thought I heard a British accent in the conversation, and as expected, it was from that side.

There was no way Kang-hoo wouldn’t know about the Spitfire Guild.

The place that gave me the gold card that I’m currently using up to 2 billion won per month is the Spitfire Guild.

“I know this very well. It’s because it was the place that gave me this. It’s a guild that has become a precious connection to me.”

Kang-hoo took out a gold card from the wallet he had naturally kept in his bosom and showed it to me.

It was a meaningful item that was given to him directly by Master Garnier of the Spitfire Guild.

At that moment.

“Wow… … You received this?”

Surprise appeared on the three hunters’ faces.

Because this is the moment that proves that the man in front of you is someone of great significance to the guild master.

He was no ordinary person.
