The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself - Chapter 200
Only Noblemtl
Episode 200 The Chaser (5)
Kang-hoo, who had caught up to the assassin by moving sideways early, was observing his movements.
I wondered if he would notice that I had moved backwards, but I thought I had overestimated him.
“Fuck, where are you! Shin Kang-hoo! Where are you!”
Cha So-hyeok’s angry shout was heard. Aside from his anger, he seemed annoyed because he couldn’t see the enemy he wanted to see.
“… … .”
The assassin is holding his breath and watching somewhere else. He is being as cautious as possible and crouching.
When both sides are in hiding, a strange silence flows and the assassins’ battle becomes a battle.
Because you have to read even the slightest breeze to figure out where your opponent is.
But Kang-hoo didn’t need to do that. He had been seeing the assassin from the beginning.
There was no need to measure it any longer.
The guy who was looking at the wrong place had no idea where he was.
so.
Crunch! Crunch!
He grabbed the head and cut the front of the neck. He did this in conjunction with a beheading, and the flesh and muscles were immediately cut off.
“Crash! Crash! Crash… … !”
The assassin, who had a thick red line on the middle of his neck, kept spitting out the sound of air being sucked out.
Even in the midst of all that, he had his own poisonous spirit, so he tried to turn his body and aim for Kang-hoo.
Pok! Pok! Pok!
Kang-hoo made three more stab wounds to the assassin’s neck with a blank expression.
Then, air and blood poured out ceaselessly from the gaping wound in his neck.
【Blood】
The ending follows.
Red blood spurted forward as if sprayed from a sprayer.
With the assassin’s death, the two constellations were immediately stolen, but there was no time to look through the list.
There are still two left.
In the meantime.
The clones were scattered by Cha So-hyeok’s attacks, and the illusions also disappeared when time ran out.
What remains is a shadow.
The black magician decided that mental attacks were not working on Kang-hoo, so he now deployed his attack skills.
Kookookookook.
Basic skill, falling flames.
A purple ball of flame was seen falling from the air, trying to block Kang-hoo’s path.
It seemed to be a high level of skill. The flames fell over a wide area, and smoke rose from where they fell.
This means that not only is the burning effect unique to flames present, but separate oxidation is also added.
If you are exposed here, you will be discovered by the smoke even if you hide, and it is very likely that you will suffer a lot.
“Shin Gang-hu… … !”
You can see Cha So-hyeok running at full speed.
Cha So-hyeok had one weakness: his mobility was inversely proportional to his excellent attack power.
That may be why the speed at which Kang-hoo was chasing him was slower than he had initially calculated.
And even if we got closer, there was no room for pressure.
Papat!
Because right now, all you have to do is select one shadow and change its position.
Then, Cha So-hyeok becomes a dog chasing a chicken.
Kang-hoo continued to keep the shadows at the maximum of five while observing the movements of the black magician.
The one-on-one with Cha So-hyeok is the last. I have to deal with the black magician who is likely to continue to be a nuisance.
Taang!
At that moment, Ayane’s second attempted sniper shot exploded in flames at Cha So-hyuk’s front leg.
It seemed difficult to hit the target because you had to aim at an enemy moving from a distance. That’s a natural result.
The reason the archer left this world in one go was because he stayed in one place the whole time.
Hitting a stationary target is something that anyone who knows a thing or two about handling a gun can do.
Phrase. Phrase. Phrase.
At that moment, I felt a few invisible dots appear not far from Kang-hoo.
‘Speech.’
This is the level 200 basic skill of the Warlock, Ignition.
It is also a skill that allows for other options such as oxidation or exhaustion, but it seems that this warlock chose ignition.
The scary thing about fire is that it starts from an invisible point.
And when this fire touches your body, it spreads throughout your body as if you were pouring oil on it.
It is an excellent skill for self-immolation by others.
However, the mana sense, which was heightened by congenital mana hypersensitivity, accurately detected the location of the invisible dot.
So I just switched the shadow and position slightly away from the ignition point.
Taang! Taang!
The flying bullets one after another obstructed Cha So-hyeok’s movements.
Judging by the faster reload speed, it seems that the use of the bullet has shifted from killing to deterrence.
Although he had no conversation with Ayane, Kang-hoo immediately read what Ayane was thinking.
It was a signal to deal with the black magician while he suppressed Cha So-hyeok’s movements as much as possible.
‘We share the same thoughts.’
As I had felt during the battle at the First Research Institute in the main gate, Ayane was able to read the thoughts of the assassin very well.
It feels as if we are thinking and breathing together right next to each other.
Usually, most hunters judge the situation based on their own standards.
If you are a gunner sniper, you should check whether the timing is right for you to snipe or if the target of your shot has an opening.
In the process, you cannot help but neglect the movements of your colleagues or partners.
Because he has to be faithful to his duty as a ‘sniper’. It is an unavoidable, kind of occupational disease.
However, Ayane read that Kang-hoo puts Cha So-hyeok at the bottom of his priority list.
The class of the hunter sent from the Toushi Guild wasn’t even discussed in advance. Because it couldn’t be found out.
She judged Kang-hoo based on the situation, and the current position was the picture Kang-hoo wanted.
【Cute!】
Kang-hoo summoned a thick slime in the path Cha So-hyeok was taking, and then immediately fired a lightning sword at the black magician.
“joy.”
If I had known why Kang-hoo opened his first attack with a lightning-quick attack, I wouldn’t have laughed.
Unfortunately, the black magician didn’t notice anything strange as he watched Kang-hoo’s dagger flying in an obvious path.
The two guys before were defeated so easily, so aren’t you underestimating yourself, the highest leveled one?
【Devil’s Wall】
I immediately built a wall to protect the front. It is the basic defensive skill of a black magician who has steadily increased his proficiency.
Kuung!
The dagger bounced off the wall and the warlock was confident that he had successfully defended himself… … .
Boom!
Something unexpected happened.
The Devil’s Wall itself was pushed back. This was due to the pushback option attached to the Lightning Blade.
Phew!
“Ugh!”
This resulted in an unfunny situation where his face and body collided with the wall he had built.
The dagger was blocked, but I had no idea that the wall itself would be pushed back.
The moment the warlock staggered, shocked by the momentary impact on his face.
【Surprise】
【Shallow Chaos】
Kang-hoo used a disruption skill.
If it were normal, a class like a warlock would not be affected by such a blind skill.
But now is different. The moment when you deal with your own pain is the moment when you are most vulnerable.
“shit……!”
The warlock, realizing that his vision and senses were impaired, immediately used his ignition skill.
Anyone can see that this is the perfect situation for Kang-hoo to target.
So, the idea was to randomly create ignition points nearby to prevent Kang-hoo from approaching.
It was a strategically sound decision.
‘good.’
This was Kang-hoo’s plan.
Kang-hoo, who copied the ignition skill with his wit, deployed the skill towards the point where the black magician was staggering.
【The Art of Living – Speaking】
The warlock continued to fire more skills, not knowing that his skills were being returned in the same way.
Allowing an assassin to approach would mean death to the magical community.
So, he continuously poured out skills like Jinyeom Fall and Jinbo Ra Flame.
I thought that if I did this, Kang-hoo wouldn’t be able to come either.
In reality, Kang-hoo did not approach the warlock as he intended. He simply returned the skill.
The tragedy happened immediately.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
“Keuuu! Keuuu! Keuaaaah!”
The body of the black magician caught in the conflagration that occurred at one point began to burn in an instant.
Cha So-hyeok and the black magician who was the victim were both shocked.
A speaking skill that I have never used before was used? This was impossible.
This kind of crazy thing couldn’t happen unless you were thinking of committing suicide. It didn’t make sense.
“Phew.”
After taking a moment to catch his breath, Kang-hoo held the dagger upside down and threw it at the black magician with all his might again.
It was a lightning-quick strike with all his might, including physical power outside of his skills.
and.
Ss …
The dagger flew through the flames and soon sank into the center of the warlock’s forehead, ending his life.
【Soul Imprint – Corrupted Belief】
【Soul Imprint – Recovery】
Then, the recovery was completed by retrieving the dagger that had been engraved earlier.
Now the only thing left is Cha So-hyuk.
Turning his gaze to him, Kang-hoo snapped his fingers without looking back.
Even though he’s already dead.
It was a finale that confirmed the kill with a clean cut of blood. Bloody flowers were scattered behind Kang-hoo’s back like a background.
Meanwhile, Cha So-hyeok cleared away Ayane’s restraint and the unexpected slime and charged in again.
Papat.
However, the distance between Kang-hoo and Cha So-hyeok, who had switched shadows and positions, grew as much as they had gotten closer.
It was the second time I became a dog chasing a chicken.
* * *
“Fuck… … . What the hell are these guys? What the hell are they doing, making it all so sloppy? Huh?”
Cha So-hyeok, who had stopped and given up on the chase for a moment, cursed at the sight of the hunters’ corpses lying on the ground.
They were hunters that the Toushi Guild had assigned to me, saying they would be quite helpful.
However, within minutes of starting the battle, all three were dead.
A sniper who wasn’t even in the calculations jumped out from somewhere and killed the archer screaming as soon as he started.
Assassins and warlocks died one after another as their movements were thoroughly trampled upon.
Cha So-hyeok also predicted that Kang-hoo would not be easily defeated.
But he had no idea that the three of them, excluding himself, would die so early.
All the hunters who were supposedly over level 300 lost their lives to Kang-hoo’s trick.
The sniper deployment was probably something that Kang-hoo had prepared in advance, so it could be seen as his gambit.
Kang-hoo turned his gaze towards Ayane, with Cha So-hyeok looking angry.
And he signaled by drawing a circle with his index finger.
This means that from now on, no intervention is required. In other words, it is a signal that he will have a one-on-one fight with Cha So-hyeok.
Cha So-hyeok glared at Kang-hu.
He showed up ambitiously, even bringing a partner, saying he would get revenge, but it turned out to be a ridiculous sight.
“You coward. You want a sniper?”
“Isn’t it cowardly of you to come here just to catch one person?”
“what?”
“If you don’t know what cowardice means, don’t use it.”
Suddenly.
Cha So-hyeok ground his teeth.
The more I talked and fought, the more disgusted I felt towards Kang-hoo.
Of course, this is just disgusting based on Cha So-hyeok himself. In reality, anyone can see that it is Cha So-hyeok who is disgusting.
“Now there is no need to be careful or argue anymore. I will cut off your head and offer it to Sohee’s spirit.”
“Get ready to smell the incense together.”
Kang-hoo lifted the stop sign, further provoking Cha So-hyeok’s anger.
In any case, this fight will end when one side dies. There is no middle ground. There can be no mediation.
Maybe that’s why.
In that moment, Cha So-hyeok’s eyes and entire body began to turn red, and soon smoke began to rise.
It was quite a threatening sight, and you could tell at a glance that it was an awakening skill.
“I will kill you even if it means sucking your blood. Vigorous spirit. Feel my wrath, Shin Kang-hoo.”
I felt an overwhelming murderous intent from Cha So-hyuk, which was of a completely different nature from what I had felt until just now.
The real showdown is just around the corner.
