The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself

Heo Jeong-tae (1)

“I have bad taste. I respect a lot of tastes, but isn’t the talent of dressing up as a woman a bit like that?”

“You ask where are you from? How do you know my name and where I live?”

“Answer me?”

“What is the answer? It’s a baby. Can’t you hear me asking?”

“It’s done. Come on. Since I came to feed the beans, the situation will end only when one of the two extends.”

As Kang-hu flicked his fingers and applied the medicine, Heo Jeong-tae took off the long-haired wig he was wearing.

Then, the hair shaved half-shaved to the extent that the expression chestnut best suited it was revealed.

The fact that there was even a ‘sweet bun’ on one side of the head was the unmistakable appearance of the bald head.

【Priest of Darkness】

[A constellation of malicious tendencies. Combat ability increases by 25% against Hunters who serve neutral or good constellations.]

‘They gave me an unexpected buff.’

Kang Hu smiled bitterly.

Dimensional usurpers get the impression that they are malignant, but in reality they are neutral.

In a way, if you consider that you share the fate of a savior with ‘Xin Kang-hu’, you are closer to the good inclination.

Whether it’s good or neutral, it’s different from the evil Priest of Darkness, so Heo Jeong-tae gets a buff.

In the original work, he did not set such detailed settings for Heo Jeong-tae. There was only a description of his appearance or information about where he lived.

Looking at the constellations attached to each other, it seems that they are molded to fit the villain.

Also, it might be that because of this Constellation’s ability, I always felt that my skills were better than I expected in the original work.

“Even now, if you go on your way, you will be able to save your life. I don’t care about killing the Hunter.”

“Do you think it’s not me?”

Kang Hu looked down at his right hand.

I have already ended the lives of many Hunters with the dagger I grabbed here.

Of course, they were all worthy of death, and there was no sympathy or sympathy for them.

A harsh world where you have to kill to not die. That is the desolate present world created by the original work.

“okay. Then, experience the feeling of dying now!”

Chew!

As soon as he finished speaking, Heo Jeong-tae pulled out something the size of a finger from his sleeve and squeezed it tightly.

Then, as the mana was blown into it, the length increased in an instant and changed into the shape of a long spear.

‘An assault long spear.’

I had a good idea of what item it was.

It’s kind of like a woman’s stick. Of course, it cannot be increased without countermeasures, but it is easy to reduce it to make it portable.

That’s right!

Eventually, Heo Jeong-tae hurled his long spear deeply, entering the flow to restrict Ganghu’s movement.

Because the attack was in the form of an oblique line that curves from right to left, it was not a clumsy frontal charge.

kang!

The long spear that Kang Hu dug into was slashed with the joy of the sky, a dagger.

The length was overwhelmingly shorter than that of a long spear, but there was no need to widen the surface anyway.

For now, I saved the kidnapping skill.

If such a quick-witted guy pulls out a skill once and fails, it’s hard to have a target again.

I was thinking of preparing it as a kind of special move concept.

The match ends in a one-shot fight.

Snap, bang!

Heo Jeong-tae slammed the long spear straight into the ground. Regardless of the location of the river, it was an intentional slash.

Whoops!

Then, on the ground, the generated shock wave flew low and hit Ganghu in an instant.

“… … !”

ate a room

It was not a simple shock wave, but a wave with elasticity that lifted opponents up.

Caught in the rising momentum, Ganghu’s body floated up, and in connection with this, Heo Jeong-tae continued the next attack.

Kuaang!

It was a kind of wind attack, swinging a long spear in the air in a half-moon shape.

It would be more accurate to say that it is the wind containing sharpness.

Is it the wind like a knife?

In any case, it was floating in the air, defenseless.

Leap is difficult to use immediately in an unprepared situation, so I used a different tactic.

Wheein!

It was just a protective barrier.

cooong!

The blizzard hit the protective barrier, but it was not difficult to defend with reliable durability.

Kuaang! Kuang!

Heo Jeong-tae threw two more blades, but Kang-hu easily evaded them by moving behind the protective barrier.

“Where do you belong?”

“does not exist.”

“It’s crazy and it’s crazy. Skills like this won’t come out unless the guild pushes them, right?”

“I appreciate the compliments.”

One corner of Ganghu’s mouth curled up at the unexpected recognition from Heo Jeong-tae.

It must be said that it seems that he went through a professional training process. He also provided consulting at the guild level.

It was also because of the ‘prejudice’ that the assassin class was far from defense-related skills in the first place.

Ganghu did not forcefully learn these skills, but robbed them and made them into his own skills without penalty.

Since it has a high level of perfection, it inevitably feels like a skill that has been professionally trained for a long time from the opponent’s point of view.

Kang Hu fixed the dagger and gripped it.

Since the protective barrier is now exposed, this skill will definitely be included in his calculations.

I overcame one crisis with improvisation, but I didn’t have enough cards for the next one.

‘Let’s see.’

Ganghu, who was trying to push the attack in waves, changed his strategy on the spot.

to engage in a strategic war of attrition.

It’s not a meaningless war of attrition.

One of Kanghu’s unique talents, ‘extremely good visual acuity’, is very good at catching the opponent’s habits.

What if there is a pre-movement shown as a habit before any particular attack or target?

You won’t be able to get away from the sharp and precise eye.

From then on, Kang Hu lowered his body and held the dagger in reverse hand so that he could prioritize defense.

More difficult than attack, but that’s why the defense battle that can meticulously look at the number of enemies has begun.

* * *

For nearly 5 minutes, Ganghu was consistent only on defense.

Considering that one or two attacks can come in a row in just one second, five minutes was really long.

‘His anti-magic ability is excellent.’

In the process, Ganghu was able to grasp Heo Jeong-tae’s ability to not be affected by shallow chaos.

In addition, there were many cases of stealing the sight, so he cleverly avoided it by covering his sight with a long spear.

The leap did not easily show an angle in the distance check with the long spear stretched out.

Lateral movement made it difficult for Heo Jeong-tae to extend the spear to the back first when Kang-hu disappeared from sight.

Kang-hoo expected Heo Jeong-tae’s momentum to be quite high, but.

In fact, Heo Jeong-tae’s intentions were the exact opposite.

I tried all means of attack, but for some reason, the strong force was not pierced.

The protective barrier was too rough.

In addition, Ganghu leaped to the rear or moved laterally based on terrain features to conceal himself, so all the attacks that were targeted and unfolded failed.

Kang Hu couldn’t get a single scratch.

It was an embarrassing situation for Heo Jeong-tae, who had never left his opponent so ‘clean’ before.

Is that why?

Heo Jeong-tae had guessed Kang-hu’s level was around 160 or 170, which was much higher than himself who was 110.

It was a perfect illusion, but it was true that I felt that much perfection.

In addition, in that he knew how to use skills outside of the assassin series, he smelled like a ‘killer’ that was trained professionally.

Meanwhile.

‘For now, one thing is certain. When attacking with power, twist the waist slightly to the left unconditionally.’

Ganghu got a meaningful clue in the time when he was consistent with defense.

A preliminary action related to Heo Jeong-tae’s blow.

It was just a back twist.

The width of the beat was very small to say it was a habit he knew. Looking intently, I can barely see it.

Of course, there are cases where you use your habits to attract opponents, but I didn’t see that level.

In fact, it was because he showed the motion of trying to take a counterattack once at the liver view level.

If it was a fishing habit, there would have been a different reaction when I took that motion.

‘then.’

Kang-hoo, after the calculation, started charging at full speed.

And, as if showing off, he used the sight stealing skill toward Heo Jeong-tae.

Because it was a skill that was used after calculating what would be blocked, there was not the slightest desire to hit.

“… … .”

Heo Jeong-tae, with his lips tightly closed, lifted his long spear horizontally to block the effect of the sight stealing skill.

As much as that time, Kang-hoo got closer to Heo Jeong-tae.

Right then.

‘Now.’

I could see Heo Jeong-tae twisting his waist slightly to the left. It is a preliminary action before attacking with force.

In other words, it was a signal that let us know that we would switch from avoiding the skill right now to offensive.

It’s like a trailer for a quick turnaround!

Ganghu rushed forward in an honest manner.

He pointed the dagger straight ahead, hinting openly that he would aim for Heo Jeong-tae’s abdomen.

If he rushed at it without thinking, it would be a picture of him getting knocked down after receiving a proper counterattack.

When the preliminary action was confirmed, there was the following plan.

that’s right… … .

Dig!

It was an air leap.

“ah?”

After reading Ganghu’s goal, the calculation to launch a counterattack following a nice evasion went wrong.

At the point when the long spear extended forward, Kang Hu passed directly over Heo Jeong-tae’s head.

Even if I was caught off guard, I was properly stabbed.

Heo Jeong-tae’s both shoulders were also stabbed in several places in an instant.

With a thud, a burning pain from both shoulders spread throughout the body.

The dagger had passed through the shoulder exactly three times. That’s pretty deep too.

‘It’s not enough yet.’

It’s a little early to write blood, and there are not enough scars. Ganghu decided to go one more timing.

If he had intended to kill Heo Jeong-tae, he would have just stabbed the top of his head. Then the situation was already over.

However, as the purpose from the beginning was ‘capture alive’, it was important to neutralize the combat ability.

Ganghu rushed again.

Embarrassingly for Heo Jeong-tae, who became the defender, the attack method was the same as before.

First, it was a type of ‘pretend’ to throw an eye grab and then aim for the abdomen of Heo Jeong-tae, who was trying to stop it.

I was caught in an alternative choice.

Kang-hoo felt it.

Heo Jung-tae is a newbie.

This is because being forced to make an alternative option is unconditionally unfavorable to the defender.

“Seed… … .”

Between Heo Jung-tae’s frowning brows, the powder that had been applied thickly mixed with sweat flowed down.

Heo Jeong-tae blocked the boat.

It was from the calculation that there was no way to write the previously written repertoire again, who would do such an obvious trick.

But that obvious trick came out once more. This time, Kanghu’s body was flying in the air.

Fluffy!
