The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself

chapter 5



Requester (2)

* * *

Until the era of hunters opened with ‘Judgment Day’, the area around Daejeon Station was always crowded.

That was 10 years ago.

But now it has become a place of silence and stillness where only a dreary cold wind blows.

The downtown area, which used to have many shops, has become a street of death full of empty rooms.

And it became an empty street with no people at all, and it became a secret zone free from the surrounding gaze.

After Ye-rin Lee stood at an appropriate distance from Kang-hu, she began to rhyme.

“I will only see one thing from Seon-gyu. Can you dodge the skill? That’s all.”

“Since I have the title of an assassin, it means that I will see if I can at least protect my body.”

“that’s right. Being able to dodge means that you can bring an opportunity to attack right away.”

I wanted a test like this.

No matter how much you say it with your mouth, it doesn’t work for someone like Lee Ye-rin, who evaluates her based on her skills.

They believe their eyes, not their ears.

One movement is better than a hundred words.

“I am ready.”

Kang Hu’s eyes twinkled.

[Special Talent: Fairly good main power / Very good torso vision]

In preparation for such a time, there is a unique ability that is always ready to shine.

‘The arrangement made to become a villain who can always aim for Jang Si-hwan’s back and give tension.’

It was a pity why I didn’t give more talent. But at the time, I didn’t know how to possess, so I had to do that.

Still, I was not anxious about the future because I had firmly held onto my identity as an ‘assassin’.

However, there are some things to be nervous about.

Overconfidence in outstanding talent.

The thirteen stars, including Jang Si-hwan, apply a harsh standard of skill to themselves that is truly frightening.

If that’s the case with the collaborators who live in their own world with far-flung skills, they have no freedom to slack off.

“The test skill is…”

“as soon as.”

I interrupted Lee Ye-rin, who was kindly trying to teach me the skill for the test.

In a battlefield full of camouflage and hypocrisy, such ‘manners’ do not exist.

shruck!

Yerin Lee immediately created a sphere of green light above her hands.

As soon as I saw what kind of skill it was, I immediately finished figuring it out.

‘The Mist Chaser.’

Creates a minion in the form of mist that attaches itself to a target.

Even if the fog just brushes, traces remain on the target’s body, making it possible to track it from a distance.

It’s not an offensive skill, so even if you get hit, you won’t die.

However, there is evidence that the skill was not avoided, so the test itself is over.

Fire!

Lee Ye-rin abruptly reached out and sent a fog chaser to Kang-hu.

It’s a very tricky guy because it can control the movement of the caster’s will.

‘Even if I have enough skills to avoid it, I’m paying for the meal.’

From the beginning, there was no picture in Lee Ye-rin’s head that Kang-hu was avoiding.

Just how late to get hit by the Mist Chaser.

just as expected.

‘also.’

I could see Kang-hu, unable to navigate, and stopped in place as if nervous.

Prediction will be difficult.

As Lee Ye-rin gave more momentum, the fog chaser sped up and attacked Ganghu in an instant.

Right then.

Wow!

Kanghu’s body, which had disappeared from sight for an instant, appeared at a place that had fallen back 10m.

‘Isn’t the basic jump skill too flashy for a level 10 assassin?’

Because Lee Ye-rin has gone through all of the prenatal battles, she was able to give estimates for other skills even if it was not her class.

The performance of the leap skill that Ganghu showed now was a proficiency that an assassin of level 250 or higher could show.

That is assuming that it worked out well, and it is a level that can be seen from 350 to 400.

One time could be a coincidence.

Yerin Lee immediately increased the speed of the Mist Chaser.

Mist Chaser is one of her main skills at level 250, so maximizing its performance was quick.

Wow!

It accelerated to the point where you could hear a roar that cut through space. It was truly a thunderbolt.

Swoop.

However, Ganghu did not struggle at all, and took just two steps to the side to avoid the attack neatly.

Not only that, but he hid himself by moving sideways, targeting the towering pillar right next to him.

Stealth was naturally activated while moving behind the pillar.

When Lee Ye-rin, momentarily taken aback, tried to pinpoint the location of Kang-hu by tracking the flow of mana.

‘Ahead?’

Her body reacted first and stepped back all the way to the point where the word Lee Ye-rin was instinctive fit perfectly.

Then, by a short distance, Kang-hu appeared in the place where she was.

While using the Leap skill after stealth, he aimed for a counterattack right away.

Of course, I didn’t have any real murder intentions.

“and.”

Embarrassment, surprise, surprise, relief.

Exclamations mingled with various emotions erupted.

Yerin Lee annihilated the Mist Chaser with a gesture.

It seemed that the test had already been completed, so I immediately asked Kang-hu.

“Have you ever been trained?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“The level scan is definitely 10. It’s not a level that can be equipped with such sensuous movements.”

“Is it verified?”

Ganghu didn’t have to answer her words, so he changed the topic.

What matters is the purpose of what you just did.

“yes. I think it’s enough to judge level 50 and make a request.”

“Oh, that’s great.”

Unlike the content of the words full of positivity, Kang Hu’s expression did not change much.

Lee Ye-rin looked at Kang-hu and thought that he must have never smiled in his life.

The muscles around the mouth are quite stiff.

As if I lost the memory of how to move.

It seems like a hunter with a story, but it didn’t seem like he would reveal his insides to him.

Isn’t that the end of the conversation?

He thoroughly did not respond to anything except the core of the story.

* * *

The following story took place in the black van that Lee Ye-rin brought.

Even a conversation between two people related to mercenary work is a simple structure of request proposal and acceptance.

Inside the van were transparent panels glued to the windows in layers, apparently for bulletproof purposes.

Sensing Ganghu’s gaze, she took out a request form and said.

“There’s been another annoying gunfighter lately. Because I received a lot of love from the Eclipse guys. Ho Ho.”

It means to be wary of her in Eclipse. Perhaps there is a conflicting part in the interest business.

Having a gunman means that a Hunter of the ‘Gunner’ class, who specializes in mana guns, is following you.

It’s more like a warning that you can aim for her at any time, even if you don’t pull the trigger.

“Is this it?”

Ganghu reached out and took over the request form from Lee Ye-rin.

I was interested in what she said, but in the end it’s her business.

It’s not something to worry about knowing.

I didn’t even ask for help in the first place.

“yes. It’s a wanted man tracking request. The client is me. It will be a useful request for Mr. Seon-gyu.”

Members of the Mercenary Corps are accustomed to condensing the content as much as possible, but emphasizing the core.

The request letter handed over from Lee Ye-rin also contained only the necessary information and matters briefly.

【Kim Mok-hyun. Level 50. Magic type.]

【Osan, Gyeonggi-do. Abandoned ruin dungeon. Retrieval request for the 3rd grade item ‘Bartharos Shoes’.]

“Should I come alive?”

Hearing Kang Hu’s words, Lee Ye-rin burst into laughter.

“Kuk. Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve never been asked this question right away, so stop.”

Why did you usually become a wanted man?

So it’s common to ask why you were being pursued.

However, Ganghu is asking whether it is necessary to capture alive or if it is okay to kill as long as the item can be retrieved.

In fact, there was nothing to say badly about it, and in a good way, it meant that he was accepting the request professionally.

Lee Ye-rin continued.

“You can kill me. There are so many murders of ordinary people that have been confirmed by Kim Mok-hyun. Would you rather like it?”

“At the Hunter Police Agency?”

“If caught, it will be an on-the-spot execution.”

Hunter Police Department.

There are a number of hunter police officers as national institutions, but the scope of influence is all in Seoul.

Anyway, since the decision of the National Security Agency had an official basis, it was not a crime to kill if it was an execution judgment.

Of course, in today’s world where the legal system has collapsed, the reach of the law is very limited.

A small pup like Kim Mok-hyun would not care whether he was dead or alive.

“Then just collect the requested items.”

“yes. Whether Seon-gyu takes the rest or disposes of it or whatever, it is beyond my request.”

“Let’s get started right away.”

“The Abandoned Ruins Dungeon had to be so wide. You’ll be stuck in a corner, so it won’t be easy.”

“It’s understandable enough that I didn’t go looking for it myself.”

rules. rules. Roaring!

Ganghu immediately burned the request form. I’ve put the contents in my head, so there’s nothing more to check.

she added.

“Rewards can be given in many ways, how do you want them to be received?”

Even before receiving the request from Lee Ye-rin, Kang Hu had one thought.

“All you need is to be able to obtain a dungeon raid license. Especially towards the middle boss and the last boss.”

A middle boss, also called a mid-boss monster, and a boss monster.

Skills can be stolen from these two.

It is to acquire the boss’s unique skill that other hunters can never get.

Ganghu wanted to increase his level as well as the number of skills he possessed as quickly as possible.

Thanks to the constellation, no matter what skill you acquire, you can raise your proficiency to the maximum, so it’s an unconditional benefit.

“great. Compensation negotiated after the fact? Or prearranged?”

At Lee Ye-rin’s words, Kang-hu turned around and opened the car door to go outside.

“Let’s trust the captain’s sense.”

After those words, Kang-hu moved to the station to board the Mugunghwa train heading to Osan-si, Gyeonggi-do.

* * *

no train.

I thought I was pretty lucky to have one empty seat even though I bought a ticket right away.

When I sat down, there was a reason for that.

The entire seat was stained with blood.

Judging by the strong red color, it seems that there was a knife fight yesterday or the day before yesterday.

Although it is close to perfect superstition.

Most hunters were extremely reluctant to sit on seats or benches where the blood was not gone.

In reality, while trying to avoid such a place, they get tangled up in other places, and they end up in an emotional fight and see blood.

However, it was not a subject of interest to Kang-hu, who was pathetic about superstitions and jinxes in the first place.

‘Abandoned ruins. Not a bad place to debut as a formal dungeon. I definitely know how to attack.’

I liked the start.

This is because the entire abandoned ruined dungeon was used as a refuge for Xin Ganghu in the original work.
