The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself

Skill Steal (4)

* * *

Several times the wine filled in the glass disappeared without a trace and was refilled.

In a house where there is no need to worry about the safety of the surroundings, two women were comfortably drinking wine.

Occasionally, it beeped and an alarm sounded, but I didn’t mind it because it was a trace left by a stray cat passing by.

“Sister, it’s really hard to see these days!”

“Lee Nam. Aren’t you busy too? But why did you come to Daejeon?”

“What, aren’t all mercenaries like that? I go to Daejeon and Busan when I go around looking for work.”

“Aren’t you telling me that you came because you missed me until the end?”

“Unnie, I always miss you! But do you have to meet me? Isn’t it strange that we met like this?”

“If I had only answered 10% of my phone calls, we would have met right away? You didn’t even ask if you were dating a man?”

“Are you going to reveal each other like this? Ho ho ho.”

“Anyway, it’s nice to meet you, Sangmi. I’ve been a little lonely lately.”

Yoon Sang-mi and Han Seo-yeon fall in love with wine.

The two of them had known each other for a long time, and were also friends.

However, since becoming a hunter, the direction of growth has changed because each other pursues different things.

Yoon Sang-mi became a wandering mercenary.

Han Seo-yeon went to the Haeeohwa Guild. The Haeeohwa Guild was a satellite guild of the Jeonghwa Guild and was a branch of Daejeon.

“sister.”

“huh?”

“I met a mysterious Hunter. I had something to do at Osan Station, so I ended up going with him.”

“Hey! How do you get along with a hunter you’ve never met so easily? Do you know where you belong and act so softly?”

“Hey. Do I do this once or twice? They do it because they have the confidence to protect themselves.”

“hmm······. good. Anyway, so?”

“My name is Jeong Seon-gyu. Of course, it may be a pseudonym, but I came to Daejeon Station as an accompanying person. And you know.”

“know. The incident that happened at Club Hades. Didn’t you say you escaped there?”

“uh! At that time, that person opened the way for me instead of me. The attack was really concise and destructive.”

“Say that Mr. Yoon’Salt’, who would be saddened by the second best evaluation, gives such high praise?”

“sister. If I deserve a compliment, I do it unconditionally. It’s just that there haven’t been any hunters like that before!”

“What was your class?”

“Assassin class. Quite a few hunters were subdued with a single blow, or they immediately found an opening and attacked it.”

“What’s special about it?”

“The perfection of each skill is really high. It must be a very high skill level. The level seemed pretty high.”

“Jeong Seon-gyu-ra… It’s a name I’ve never heard of. Is it an unfamiliar name even as a pseudonym?”

“So that is it. It seemed like it hadn’t been long. They said it was the second transaction with Lee Ye-rin.”

“second?”

“huh!”

Coincidentally, at this time, a person who could make a second deal suddenly came to Han Seo-yeon’s mind.

Of course, there will be more than one or two mercenaries who come to Lee Ye-rin and receive requests. Thousands of people come every day.

However, he was startled when he remembered Kang-hu, whom he had recently introduced to Lee Ye-rin.

If you’ve done well with the first quest, it’s probably about time to request the second one.

However, I thought that Kang-hu, who had just escaped from the Cheongmyeong camp, would not have the skills to be highly praised by Yoon Sang-mi.

If he had that level of skill, he would have escaped the camp in no time.

“By the way, my sister’s ex-boyfriend. what happened to him I heard you suddenly called your sister?”

“that’s right. Mr. Kang-hoo.”

“How did the deal go?”

“I think I was kidnapped by the Eclipse guys and taken to the Cheongmyeong camp. To the magic stone mine.”

“Then… did you escape from there?”

“huh. I heard only that. They didn’t tell me how they escaped or what happened.”

“Didn’t your ex-boyfriend tell you that he just became a hunter before he lost contact with you?”

“yes. Being confined to the camp in that state, he would not have been able to grow properly…”

Now that Han Seo-yeon came to think about it, there was a questionable part.

For Kang-hu, elements such as level and stats would not have changed.

Still, how did he escape from the camp, where there are some skilled guards?

“Sister, you had a lot of lingering feelings for your ex-boyfriend. Couldn’t you have held on tighter? You had a hard time breaking up.”

“You know. Mr. Kang, personality. A person who is not once or forever. Even if you secretly worry about me…”

“My sister lives in the past, so she’s a mask.”

“What you said before we broke up, Mr. Kang-hoo, told me the same thing. Everyone thinks the same, right?”

“Ah, I don’t know! Let’s have some more wine, voila!”

The two of them were talking about one person, but they didn’t even guess that there was a strong word in their common keyword.

In a world where pseudonyms change frequently, remembering someone by their ‘name’ was really meaningless.

“It paid off.”

Ganghu picked up the green magic stone. It is a magic stone that costs about 100 million won each.

Since blue magic stones cost about 10 million won, even if the color goes up by one level, the price jumps up dramatically.

The probability of obtaining a green magic stone from a normal boss monster is considered to be 10%. Assuming the level of Alicia.

It is obviously not an easy magic stone to obtain.

Although it’s a superstition, there was a saying that if you defeat the boss monster quickly, the reward is good.

Even in the original work, there was no verified data because it was the so-called ‘Kadera’, but anyway, it was definitely caught quickly.

‘A moderate tension on mana hypersensitivity seems to be rather helpful to me.’

Ganghu thought so.

Congenital mana hypersensitivity does not only act as a burden.

It is seen that it also plays a role in creating a psychology that can be strategically and calmly judged.

If you don’t try a well-calculated attack, there is a possibility that you will be on the defensive due to the influence of hypersensitivity.

Of course, this is only when thinking positively, and if you think backwards, it also means that you always have a burden.

With Alicia’s death, there are two things left as trophies.

One was a 4th grade item ring, and the other was a skill book.

Ganghu checked the ring first.

【Blood Eater – Ring】

【Rating: Level 4】

【All Stats +15】

[When bleeding condition is being applied to the target, it makes the bleeding condition worse by 50%.]

“This is how I find a mate for Bleeding Stab. Well, it’s also a trait that goes well with blood.”

It may have been made to match Alicia’s skill, but in the end, it became an item for the strong.

I just finished wearing registration.

The item grade is also a grade.

It was a perfect ring with nothing missing from the composition. All stats of 15 are unconditional benefits.

【Health: 146】

I looked at my stamina stats.

Other stats still have a long way to go, so there’s nothing to look at, but stamina was really important.

When I first woke up in the camp, my health was 10.

At the current level of physical strength, the level to be compared to an athlete is far beyond. This means that the endurance has increased considerably.

Of course, this is the normal case, and when it comes to ‘combat’ periods when mana is used intensively, the calculation changes.

Once the side effects of congenital mana hypersensitivity were activated in earnest.

From then on, you will lose 1 HP per second along with severe headaches and nausea.

Compared to the past, even if mana hypersensitivity is triggered, the ability to endure for a while has been created.

In addition, the point at which the whole body is overloaded was when two or three skills were used in succession in the past.

Now, I’ve had enough to endure up to four or five times.

The difference between using one or two more skills in battle and not using them is huge. To cross the boundary between life and death.

‘I’ve become a little more human. At least in normal times.’

Ganghu checked the other booty with an awkward but satisfied smile.

It’s a skill book.

【Skill Book – Decapitation】

【Special item: Inspection only】

[Consumes a certain amount of physical strength and mana to hit the target with one blow.]

To start with the conclusion, I could only see 10% of the effect as a penalty for the class by learning as it is.

It means that the skill is expressed only at the level of a slight blow to the assassin class Kanghu.

However, as long as it was possible to get rid of the penalty, it could be used as a one-hit kill.

‘This requires a bit of a high-level trick, so I’ll keep it for now.’

Since there is no way to acquire the skill right away, I decided to put it on hold for a few days.

As long as you can learn without penalty using other methods, there was no reason to sell.

It’s just past midnight.

Kang-hu, who entered the downtown area near Gapyeong Station, stopped by a bar to cool off the heat from the battle.

It was quite a safe area.

There were guards in the middle of the street, and it wasn’t too far from the Gapyeong Hunter Security Office.

Fortunately, this modern bar had a Solakium Burst, and Kanghu was able to order a drink according to his taste.

‘Now I’m going to drink a cup that I couldn’t get from Hades.’

Kanghu nodded as he drank the Solakium Burst he received from the blunt male bartender.

It is a drink that has come a long way.

Is it compensation psychology?

“Solachyum Burst, two more.”

ordered more.

Though Benny’s story about the unique taste of Solarium Burst came to mind.

It was good. Everyone has different tastes, but if it tastes good only to me, isn’t it enough?

Kang-hu, who was drinking his second glass, looked down at his forearm, which suddenly came into view.

He definitely gained some muscle.

My stamina also increased.

Even if a little alcohol goes in, I feel like my body is moderately relaxed rather than feeling like I’m going to have a good time.

I was thinking of going to visit Heo Jeong-tae after resting for a day or so.

Unless there was a major change in the setting, it was calculated where Heo Jeong-tae would live.

However, after dealing with the affairs related to Heo Jeong-tae, I was worried about what to do next.

This is because rest will only end with a comma in the middle, and this body must grow steadily.

Considering Jang Si-hwan, who was monopolizing all the privileges of the top, he had to jump a few steps ahead.

‘Going to Ground Zero a little earlier…’

At that time, Kang-hoo’s thoughts were about to deepen. The smartphone vibrated.

Only two people know this number.

Han Seo-yeon and Lee Ye-rin.

【Han Seoyeon】

【This is Seoyeon Han from the Haeeohwa Guild! Please take good care of me!]

Looking at the caller’s name, the dry three-letter name was clearly visible.

In addition, a greeting added by the caller’s settings was also shown.

“…”

I thought that Seoyeon Han would be in the satellite guild of Jeonghwa Guild. It’s definitely not fun.

Well, this is not a problem to worry about now. I might not have anything to do with her.

Kang Hu received a call.

“huh.”

– Brother, I’m sorry. Is it okay to talk for a second? It’s a secure call. Don’t worry, it’s not eavesdropping.

“are you okay. What happened?”

– Cha So-hee came to Daejeon Station. I just went out to buy some more wine with a younger sister I know, and I saw Cha So-hee.

“Cha So-hee?”

It is an unknown name.

Because he is Eclipse’s third-in-command and Kang Dong-hyun’s irreplaceable confidant.

It is also called Kang Dong-hyun’s ‘hunting dog’.

– I was researching my brother while going around hotspots where mercenaries gathered. with my brother’s real name.

“The point is that Cha So-hee is chasing me.”

– That’s right. Brother, be careful.

“thank you. I’ll hang up.”
