The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself

Ulleungdo (3)

* * *

Moon Hyeong-seo’s eyes trembled as she saw the black shadow dead before the space isolation was lifted.

I got goosebumps.

It wasn’t because he was afraid of the river.

It was because he ended the black shadow with a counterattack skill with unexpected firepower at too early a point in time.

Moon Hyeong-seo had never killed a black shadow in one blow like that. It was an impossible picture.

The conditions were really difficult to defeat the monster in the form of a specter like a black shadow in one shot.

For example, it must be a form of driving at once by using a large amount of divine power or darkness.

That led to the conclusion that Ganghu could handle the Dark Ages.

Does that mean that an assassin who hasn’t reached level 200 knows how to handle the Dark Ages?

It is not for nothing that Dark Age or Divine Power is called the 7th stat.

That’s because it’s hard to wake up, and even if you wake up, it’s very difficult to collect a useful amount.

However, Ganghu seemed to already have enough dark days. I couldn’t believe it.

“Come out slowly. The situation is over.”

Ganghu smiled and left a comment, pointing in the direction where Moon Hyung-seo was supposed to be.

He must be thinking about this and that in the quarantined space. What kind of skill would you like?

On the other hand, Ganghu was looking at the Dark Age stats obtained by defeating the Black Shadow.

【Defeat the ‘Black Shadow’ and obtain the activated Dark Age stat ’20’ at random.]

‘It really paid off.’

A smile is built in the temple.

I got a much larger amount of Dark Ages at once than I thought. Thanks to that, the Dark Age stat became 120.

The reason this stat is so valuable is that the seventh stat cannot be raised by investing points.

It was a stat that could only be raised purely by hunting monsters or acquiring items.

The number of items with the 7th stat as an option was very small, so it was very difficult to obtain.

In the end, the picture can only be uploaded by defeating the Black Guide or the Black Shadow.

But that also follows the probability thoroughly, and the probability itself stays in single digits… … .

There were more situations to get than situations to get.

If you hunt monsters of this type all day, if you go up about 1, you will go up a lot.

If you set all the time to focus on acquiring the Dark Age, it was equivalent to saving about a month.

in just one battle.

Eventually, Hyung-seo Moon, who was freed from space isolation, returned to her original space and bowed her head toward Kang-hu.

It was because Master K had begged him to take good care of Kanghu the way he would treat himself.

I couldn’t live up to the Master’s words, which he worshiped more like a god than a god, so the sense of shame was not the only one.

“I’m sorry, Shin Kang-hoo. It is my negligence.”

It was surprising to see Hyung-seo Moon, who didn’t seem to blink an eye even when stabbed in the eye with a needle, showing such a weak side.

That would also mean that K’s request has an absolute meaning to him.

However, Kang Hu had no intention of blaming Moon Hyeong-seo.

Because the target of the black shadow was Moon Hyeong-seo, it was just that he was isolated in space.

Conversely, if the black shadow had persistently targeted itself, it would have been isolated in the end.

“Nothing to worry about. Anyway, that guy’s choice is a blessing in disguise. No wonder who is chosen.”

“but… … .”

“Let’s be thankful that it ended with a happy ending. Thanks to you, I had some fun too.”

Although the level didn’t rise, Ganghu was satisfied because he gained a lot of experience at once.

In particular, the increase in Dark Age stats was welcome.

Because even now, the power of the powerful enough Black Moon Sword can be upgraded to another level.

Moon Hyung-seo changed the topic, thinking that the continued apology could rather burden him.

“It was a wonderful response. It was a really neat skill attack. To the extent that I could not have predicted it at all.”

I wanted to somehow solve this awkward atmosphere created by myself.

At this point, he felt ashamed of himself as he had warned Kang-hu with a sharp reaction in their first meeting.

Moon Hyung-seo knew that the skill that killed Kang-hu’s black shadow was no ordinary skill.

I had a guess, but I didn’t deliberately show it. There was also no mention of the skill.

Moon Hyeong-seo was a heavy-mouthed person. It was thanks to being taught by Master K.

Moreover, since Master K was a special guest, he did not want to reveal the secret.

I don’t know if it’s the one that hides it. However, I really wanted to show the awe of Kang Hu.

“The timing is good.”

“I’m still a bit bewildered. He’s never going to come out south of Ground Zero.”

“I don’t think he came down directly. Someone might have brought it on purpose.”

“You mean the Hunter’s work?”

“It is not impossible. Because the black shadow is also a being with intelligence. Could there have been any discussions with Hunter?”

“hmm… … .”

“It’s all speculation. In any case, it would be better not to attach the premise of absoluteness in the future. There is no 100%.”

“I will correct it.”

“What is correction? Give yourself good feedback. There’s nothing wrong with putting various situations into variables, right?”

“Yes.”

Moon Hyungseo nodded.

It’s a situation where you’re listening to advice, not advice, from someone whose level is much lower than yourself.

I didn’t feel bad or hurt my pride. Because it was a valid statement.

Fortunately.

Thanks to Kanghu’s wonderful response, the work with the black shadow ended in a happening.

Moon Hyung-seo made a promise.

As Kang Hu said, I will erase the word impossible based on common sense from my head.

Because I thought it was a very dangerous idea. Because it limits people’s thinking.

In that sense, Kang Hu’s response this time felt better. I learned something good.

* * *

There haven’t been any issues since.

Of course, it was also thanks to both Kang-hoo and Moon Hyeong-seo, who moved while focusing more on their surroundings.

In the middle, I witnessed the sight of several hunter gangs fighting each other.

I ignored it because it was a personal area of work. There is no need to show a sense of justice.

In front of Kim Shin-ryeong’s villa, which arrived at some point.

This place was so large that it would be more appropriate to describe it as a mansion or a huge hideout rather than a villa.

Even if I got into the car at the entrance, it seemed like I would have to go inside for a while.

This is because the distance from the front gate to the building that appears to be the actual residence is quite long.

‘There are already some victims.’

When Ganghu peeked inside from the outside, he could see quite a few Hunter’s corpses here and there.

Strangely, there was no smell of rotting corpses. Are there special treatments for hedges and inner bushes?

What was unusual was the appearance of the dead Hunter’s body slowly drying up.

It’s as if they become ‘nutrition’ for something else while gradually gaining vitality.

‘Perhaps some of the power of the entire security and surveillance system of the villa could be biometrics.’

Various guesses are possible.

The idea that the entire huge space of the villa was the realm of testing made my heart choke.

There was no fear of failure. If you think your life is in danger, you can use teleportation.

Of course, if that happens, the next step will be twisted as much as Kim Shin-ryeong’s test was not passed.

at that time.

Hyungseo Moon rang the visitor bell at the front door.

As if I had already been waiting, as soon as I pressed the bell, I heard a husky female voice.

– Who is it?

“This is Moon Hyungseo. Master K sent it and came with the customer. We are ready to see you.”

– Would you like to see the customer’s face?

Shin-ryeong Kim’s voice and way of speaking had the perfect color to say that she was unlucky.

It may be a person who lives for his good taste, or he may be a person with great pride.

It was good.

Now is the time to get the colorless talisman that can only be obtained from her.

He moved his position to a position where he could be easily captured on the screen, and slightly pushed his face forward.

Then there was an immediate response.

– oh? Are you handsome? Hyeong-seo, looking at it like this, it seems that you don’t have a separate squid.

“… … Be sure to say that in a place like this.”

Moon Hyung-seo made a puzzled expression, but I didn’t think Kim Shin-ryeong was wrong.

Anyone can see that Kang Hu is the owner of an attractive appearance. He is just an ordinary face.

– I just wanted to see your face. Hyung-seo, you come in because I will send someone.

“yes.”

– Our handsome customers must enter according to the rules I set. Do you agree?

“I see.”

Kang Hu nodded.

– If you feel like dying while doing it, you can run away anytime. Of course, with the intention of never seeing your face again.

“See you later.”

Ganghu proudly gave a word as an answer.

Memories and research on her have been completed to some extent. The sketches were well drawn.

and.

Hey hey… … .

The iron door of the front door, which was firmly closed, began to open slowly.

At the same time, not far away appeared a maze of thickly shadowed areas, walled with brush and thorns.

It was the beginning of the ‘exam’, which seemed difficult enough to make me think that it wouldn’t be easy.

* * *

Following the guide, Moon Hyung-seo moved to a special underground passage and was able to meet Kim Shin-ryeong right away.

Since Kim Shin-ryeong and Master K had a deep friendship, they naturally became close to Moon Hyung-seo.

Kim Shin-ryeong, who handed Moon Hyung-seo a cup of warm coffee, asked with a curious look.

“What kind of wind suddenly blew for a nobleman who doesn’t send customers well at all?”

“There is something you want to help with.”

“Ohh… … You mean that nobleman who rarely opens his heart to outsiders?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Can I know who you are? Wouldn’t that be fun to watch from here?”

Dozens of screens were displayed on the monitor at the location pointed by Kim Shin-ryeong.

All of them were screens showing the maze and trap area in her villa in high definition.

It was possible to enlarge the screen as needed, and it was also possible to switch the viewing angle.

It was a composition specialized for watching, enough to say that it was designed for realistic viewing.

“I met a black shadow on the way. I don’t know why, but that’s how it was.”

“ah? I heard that there have been frequent cases of hunter disappearances in Ulleungdo for the past few days, but I guess it was him?”

Kim Shin-ryeong’s eyes twinkled.

The fact that a large number of Hunters were sacrificed seemed uninspiring. The same goes for Hyungseo Moon.

In fact, I didn’t think much of it, probably because it’s a world where disappearing or dying has become commonplace.

“yes. However, in the initial response process, I became isolated in space due to my inexperience.”

“So you mean that friend fought the black shadow one-on-one? black shadow? Did you run away?”

“no. dead. And that too, with just one attack, split in half exactly.”

“Ohh? You mean that’s possible?”

“yes. It made it possible.”

Shinryeong Kim unconsciously licked her lips with the tip of her tongue. It was a unique reaction that shows when interest is heightened.

but right then

【Challenger, passed the 1st area.】

A message appeared on the monitor indicating that Kanghu had broken through the first trap.

Since this is just the beginning, this is the section where you need to move most carefully. So, I expected it to take quite a while.

Ganghu has already passed.

“Look at this guy… … ?”

The corners of her lips twitched.

A funny guy appeared.
