The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself - Chapter 234



Only Krnovel

Episode 234 Underwater Battle (5)

Kang-hu, who read the complicated thoughts in Go Kyung-ho’s eyes, increased the tempo of his attack again.

Because if he uses the Gwanghwa Awakening, it seems like there will be more things to worry about.

Because the variable of invincibility was added, there was a high possibility that there would be a headache in time management.

This time, Kang-hoo aimed for the neck at eye level.

‘It’s obvious.’

An attack that comes in so honestly and as if it were nothing.

Although Go Kyung-ho was suspicious of Kang-hoo’s intentions, he could not let the attack pass, so he blocked it with his sword.

I thought there might be some sort of camouflage, deception, or lateral movement, but there were no signs.

Kyaang!

Kang-hoo’s dagger collided with the sword and sparked.

It was a stronger blow than I had expected, but I was able to block it successfully, so I could only express a little admiration.

however.

Phew!

“Ugh… … !”

An accident occurred.

It was clear that Kang-hoo’s dagger had passed by, but something had passed by his neck out of sync.

At the same time, a tingling sensation appeared in the front of my neck, and soon something hot began to flow down.

Fortunately, the carotid artery was not severed, but the front of the Adam’s apple was cut.

‘Heresy begging?’

I couldn’t believe it.

His skills have returned.

The second strike, which uses a time difference to apply magic power, was a skill of his own with a high degree of rarity.

Since it was originally a skill exclusive to inspectors, it is highly unlikely that Kang-hoo, an assassin, would have learned it.

Even if I had learned it, it wouldn’t have been enough damage to deal this much damage. But I still got hit.

Phew! Phew!

Go Kyung-ho swung his sword left and right in a dizzying manner, blocking Kang-hoo’s approach that could have followed immediately.

Although it was an unsystematic counterattack, Go Kyung-ho, who was caught up in the fear and helplessness he had experienced from Kang-hoo, could not remain calm.

‘How much has changed?’

I myself had already familiarized myself with the relevant files regarding Shin Kang-hoo.

Kang-hoo was already known as a fearless man, and like Jeon Se-hyeok, he was a hunter who would encounter Eclipse at any time.

Moreover, as it was one of Kang Dong-hyun’s interests, his confidant never neglected his analysis.

The problem is that skills that are not included in the known information are continuously pouring out.

Even though it was upgraded, it was too much.

Rather, because my thinking was confined to the framework of information I had been familiar with, I was more easily influenced by unpredictable variables.

I can feel the blood continuing to pour out of the front of my neck and shoulders.

It was the worst possible environment to stop the bleeding, with no room to stop the bleeding and the torrential rain continuing to pour down.

If I continued like this, I would get caught up in Kang-hoo’s pace and die from excessive bleeding. I had to decide the outcome.

“Haaap!”

Along with the spirit, the skill that Go Kyung-ho chose was a skill that released sword energy in all directions.

Attack.

It is the level 200 basic skill of the inspector. It is also a highly skilled skill that he has been consistently training for.

Seeing!

Go Kyung-ho’s sword made a whining sound and poured out fierce sword energy.

Because the inside of the pit was not very wide, it was not a situation where blocking just one or two black energies was enough.

Pa-pad. Pa-pad.

However, Kang-hoo easily evaded the attack by switching positions with the shadows he had placed outside in advance.

Before Kang-hoo’s appearance disappeared.

Go Kyung-ho could see Kang-hoo smiling brightly while looking at him.

Kang-hoo had already left the pit. The black magician, who had lost his target, was just diligently digging the pit.

Kang-hoo, outside the pit, glanced inside and then disappeared from sight with an unpleasant laugh.

“pup!”

Go Kyung-ho cursed and leaped again.

This time, I prepared to dodge in the air, keeping in mind Kang-hoo’s lightning strike and pushback.

I was thinking of twisting my body as much as possible, or maybe bending over to dodge the flying dagger.

however.

“… … ?”

I was able to get out of the pit without any issues.

Was there no timing?

Or is it that excessive skill use is causing problems with mana utilization?

Anyway, Kang-hoo was about 10 meters away and was holding his position.

He seemed to be struggling with physical problems, as he was seen taking short breaths.

‘Then that’s right.’

Kang-hoo must not be in good shape either, having used multiple skills in succession and suffering a wound to his side.

Go Kyung-ho’s expression, which had been stiff the whole time, began to relax. Now is the best time to push.

As my judgment grew more confident, strength flowed throughout my body.

Go Kyung-ho, who had forgotten the pain in his left shoulder, held the sword with both arms tightly.

Tadah!

I kicked the ground with all my might and started to run. But as soon as I started, I felt something strange in my ankle.

Let’s look down. In the space where there had been nothing until just now, an ivory colored solid line was shining.

“Fuck… … .”

The accident happened before I could even say ‘okay’.

The moment he saw Ko Kyung-ho’s feet caught in the low-lying distortion line, Kang-hoo activated the distortion.

It was a successful gamble.

It was also because Go Kyung-ho was very emotional, but his senses were distracted by the bad weather.

The peculiar strangeness of the diagonal lines of distortion that could be felt if it were normal and if detected carefully.

But the raindrops that kept falling stimulated my body’s sense of touch, making it impossible to focus entirely on one sense.

Card dunk!

“Kkaaaah!”

Go Kyung-ho couldn’t bear it any longer and screamed loudly.

I felt a sharp pain in my left ankle, as if a saw was cutting through it.

As the mind, consumed by pain, quickly began to become filled with fear and dread.

Go Kyung-ho immediately began preparing to activate Gwanghwa Awakening.

For now, this was the best I could do. At least for the time I was invincible, I was free from pain.

But that kind of thinking was too comforting. Things in this world don’t always go as planned.

【Blood】

Pufufufu!

A blood flower appeared before my eyes.

Go Kyung-ho could see it.

The left foot, which had been perfectly attached to his body until just before, was flying in the sky as if it was nothing.

The awakening of Gwanghwa was activated, but after he had already lost his left foot.

That wasn’t all.

The wound on his left shoulder also exploded, completely tearing the muscle apart.

I didn’t look away because I was afraid to look directly, but it was definitely a rag.

In the meantime.

Kang-hoo blocked the forward vision by using the Clone Jutsu, Illusion Jutsu, and Shadow Walk Jutsu in succession.

On the other side, Go Kyung-ho’s eyes were filled with illusions and shadows that resembled Kang-hoo, making him feel nauseous.

Swish.

All I can hear is the sound of rain.

As rain and blood mixed and soaked the ground, Go Kyung-ho’s pride also became damp like wet paper.

Swish.

Soon, a golden aura enveloped his body, making him feel invincible for a moment.

Even the pain disappears for a moment, and it makes you feel satisfied as if you have everything in the world.

“It’s not over yet.”

Go Kyung-ho managed to get onto the ground with his severed left foot and aimed the tip of his sword at Kang-hoo.

I really wanted to hit that bastard who was cowardly standing back and waiting for time to pass.

Go Kyung-ho, biting his lips tightly, drew a large vertical line with his sword, unleashing a storm of violent sword energy.

Tragedy.

It was Go Kyung-ho’s signature skill, notorious for cutting down everything that blocks his path.

Wow!

The thunderous noise and the falling raindrops were pushed up into the sky, upsetting the order.

Soon, the shadows, clones, and illusions caught in the tragedy also dispersed into a white smoke screen.

Go Kyung-ho, who was constantly abused by Kang-hoo.

I was certain that there would be a significant change in the battle situation from now on when the Gwanghwa Awakening was activated.

The beginning would be that brave tragedy.

however.

Chaang… … !

The bullet that dug into the smokescreen made a strange sound.

That wasn’t Kang-hoo’s scream, nor the sound of flesh being cut, nor the sound of a dagger shattering.

It felt like something was hitting each other and shattering like a glass. It was a clear sound.

The next moment.

Phew!

What appeared after clearing the smoke was not the trace of the fatal blow that had struck Kang-hoo, but the shattered ‘pieces’.

With the fragments of the shattering slash skill as a backdrop, Kang-hoo’s Black Moon Slash flew in with a cracking sound.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

When he recognized the presence of the Black Moon Slash with his eyes, the Black Moon Slash’s projectile was already right in front of Go Kyung-ho’s nose.

“seed…….”

He raised his sword in a hurry, but it was useless. It was too late. Heukwolsam cut off Go Kyungho’s head without hesitation.

Crunch!

“……foot.”

The one syllable he spat out before his throat was cut became Go Kyung-ho’s last words.

That was the end of it.

Go Kyung-ho, who suffered a miserable defeat in the duel between Chamgyeok and Heukwolcham, lost his life like that.

“It’s a shame when a hidden skill is defeated by a normal skill… … Ugh.”

Kang-hoo groaned and sat down in his seat.

Although he endured the evil and the violence until the end, there were still aftereffects from the counterattack he suffered from Go Kyung-ho earlier.

Since his offensive repertoire often involves rotating his waist and torso, an injury to his side would definitely be very uncomfortable.

It was certain that Go Kyung-ho was dead.

Because the constellation usurpation took place right away, the black hypocrite and the greedy Soma were registered in the constellation window one after another.

To be honest, I didn’t think I’d have any use for the pure black hypocrite in the future.

No matter how much strength is needed, I’m not sure about a deal that will put your life on the line. Would it be easy once, or difficult twice?

【I think I’ll have to leave for a moment to sort out something urgent with my younger brother. Thank you for your hard work, Contractor.】

The black seeker disappeared, leaving behind only what he had to say.

Of course, the reward for passing the test was immediate: the opening of the fourth and fifth special privileges.

However, the person involved disappeared without even having time to talk. It was so quick that the word urgent was appropriate.

【Now that I’ve met my brother, at least I’ll find the spirit that was sold elsewhere.】

The Dimensional Robber muttered.

Judging from the ending of the story, it seems like there is a story about the seeker and the hypocrite brothers. I don’t know the details though.

【Congratulations.】

I can hear the congratulations of the dimension robber being spat out in a carefree manner.

【As expected, my contractor! I always trust you without a doubt, but this time you have proven your dignity and nobility!】

It felt like the Wilderness Strategist was burning the plane with all her might. She always reacts like this.

at that time.

The constellation that rarely speaks, the Great Calamity – Darkness also added its own words.

Perhaps because he felt awkward about congratulating everyone individually, he changed the subject to a different one.

【The Hypocrite of Pure Black is a deviant constellation that accounts for about 5% of the Great Battle.】

“What if it’s a deviant constellation?”

【It is said that the constellation has been distorted for some unknown reason. Whether it is mental illness, brainwashing, or suppression.】

“Is it related to the wind of God?”

【That is something I also need to find out and investigate. It’s not like I know everything about the constellations. The problem of the Great Temple is unknown territory to us as well.】

The problem of constellations that even people don’t know.

The deviant constellation is a setting that has never appeared in the original work. In the end, it is a setting derived from the realm of the unconscious.

anyway.

If you think seriously about a problem that doesn’t have an answer right away, you still won’t get an answer.

‘First, the special privileges.’

So Kang-hoo also turned his attention to the arrow.

The fourth and fifth new perks added from the Dark Seeker.
