The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 129

Episode 129 Buff (1)

* * *

Around that time.

Everyone who could contact Kang-hoo had received a message from him.

The content was a link to the official Eclipse homepage that Kang-hoo showed to Park Dong-jae.

Jeong Yu-ri, who happened to be meeting Master K at the time, also received the message along with him.

“The hunter who killed Cha So-hee was Seon-gyu oppa? No, should I call him Kang-hoo oppa now… …?”

“Jin Hyo-young was active until recently. It seems she died recently. She was quite a clever girl.”

“Grandpa, why did you reveal this information in Eclipse?”

“Isn’t it too obvious? Seon-gyu, no, Kang-hu, the young man who hit Kang Dong-hyun. Anyone can see that it’s a list of people to kill that he uploaded in anger.”

“I heard that both of them are skilled enough to be called Kang Dong-hyun’s hunting dogs.”

“I think I know why you’ve been using an alias. You’re from a concentration camp… … You escaped from that horrible place. You’re no ordinary young man.”

“I think my real name suits my image better. The name Seon-gyu sounds a bit innocent.”

“Anyway, I guess Kang-hoo has a bit of a headache. It’s not good to get entangled with Eclipse.”

“Conversely, wouldn’t it be annoying from Eclipse’s perspective as well?”

He nodded at Jeong Yu-ri’s words. That’s right. It’s an organization with a lot to protect.

“Anyway, the fact that two hunting dogs died means that Kang Dong-hyun was that angry.”

“That’s why.”

“Since Eclipse has so many enemies, there will be more losses than gains. Especially considering the skills of the young man Kang-hoo.”

K laughed.

If you listen to it through Jeong Yu-ri and judge it based on Kang-hoo’s skills that you have seen with your own eyes,

It would be difficult to kill Kang-hoo unless a higher-up or Kang Dong-hyun himself steps in.

Maybe he issued the execution order because he didn’t want to get involved in troublesome matters.

Then, the ‘lower ones’ will automatically take care of Kang-hoo. This will save you the trouble and waste of time.

“I don’t know exactly, but both Cha So-hee and Jin Hyo-young were hunters with levels over 200.”

“Level isn’t everything.”

“Brother Kang-hoo is really amazing, isn’t he?”

“Yeah. So that’s why I dragged you out from Ground Zero and brought you out here.”

“That’s right. Haha.”

“Let’s just wait and see. If Kang-hoo needs help, he’ll ask for it himself, but if not, he’ll figure it out on his own.”

“I think so too.”

“There’s no need to interfere. He’s probably used to doing things on his own.”

“Yes, Grandpa.”

“Let’s eat.”

* * *

“Sehyuk oppa. You got it, right?”

“what?”

“Seon-gyu oppa had this kind of relationship with Eclipse.”

“Okay. I just didn’t need to say it publicly, so I just kept it to myself.”

“Everyone was curious. It was certain that Cha So-hee was dead, but they didn’t know who killed her.”

At that time, Ban Se-young and Jeon Se-hyeok were also talking.

Because visiting Eclipse’s official website was a long-time part of their daily routine.

I couldn’t help but see the order to kill Kang-hoo that appeared on the main screen.

Ban Se-young was surprised.

This was even more true because, unlike K or Jung Yu-ri, who could only vaguely guess at Kang-hoo’s level, he knew Kang-hoo’s level exactly.

In simple terms, it’s like killing two hunters whose levels are more than doubled.

No, if you think about the time of Cha So-hee’s death, you can guess that the difference is 3 to 4 times.

“I told you. It would be good to continue building a relationship with Kang-hoo in the future.”

“I knew you could eat everything by yourself, but I didn’t know you could even beat up a hunting dog like that… … .”

“Looking at Jin Hyo-young’s death, it seems like Kang Dong-hyun tried to seduce Kang Hoo.”

“Kang Dong-hyun, you cowardly little punk! You should have fought it yourself. Since you can’t do that, you’re trying to kidnap me by luring me with a woman?”

“That’s just the way he is. He’s never really fought me.”

Jeon Se-hyeok frowned.

It seemed like things were going well.

Jeon Se-hyeok and Park Dong-jae were all people who would give up on Eclipse.

Rather, since you will be able to form a psychological bond with them, your relationship will become much closer.

Considering Kang-hoo’s skills, I also thought that it would be Kang Dong-hyun, not Kang-hoo, who would have a hard time in the future.

It’s like putting a wart on someone that’s hard to get off.

The longer it is attached, the more severe the pain becomes, like a malignant tumor.

“Anyway, oppa Kang-hoo, you’re really scary. It’s nice to see you again. I knew you were a scary person from the beginning, but… … .”

“Probably Kang Dong-hyun tried to use her somehow. That’s probably how things ended up like this.”

“That’s right. Someone with the skills of Kang-hoo oppa would be enviable. Not to mention, I also desperately need teamwork… … .”

“Hey, don’t be like that. Just a little while ago, didn’t you say that my cousin was the best? Seyoung.”

“The era of Jeon Se-hyeok is over. It is the era of Shin Kang-hoo. Hahaha.”

As they joked around, their evaluation of Kang-hoo’s worth went up, although they didn’t express it more openly.

It must have been a notice to show the organization’s firm will to designate Kang Dong-hyun as a public figure and punish him.

To those who knew Kang-hoo, it seemed like it was actually raising his value.

This way, you can send mercenary requests from places that don’t like Eclipse.

Jeon Se-hyeok had the feeling that Kang-hoo was playing around with Kang Dong-hyun.

“Ugh.”

That made me laugh.

I think it’ll get more fun in the future.

* * *

Kang-hoo asked Park Dong-jae, who had entered the dungeon.

“Can you tell me who the hunters are that just went to the dungeon?”

“Uh, that’s… … .”

Park Dong-jae was still dazed, recalling the notice posted on Eclipse.

But Kang-hoo continued his daily conversation as if he had no other thoughts.

“It seems like you’re concerned about the notice from earlier. Cha So-hee and Jin Hyo-young were trying to drag me to Eclipse somehow. They were trying to kidnap me.”

“No, that’s not it. I know they’re both trash! I just can’t believe my brother killed them. They’re all trained hunters. They must have been tough enemies.”

“I think it might be easier to understand if you think about it, I had that much training and preparation.”

“Ah! That’s right… … That’s right, that’s right!”

“Pride is self-given.”

“Huh? Whose quote is that?”

“Until we meet next time, study hard. Anyway, nothing has changed. The only thing that has changed is the name you call me by.”

When Kang-hoo tapped Park Dong-jae on the shoulder, he finally came to his senses and remembered Kang-hoo’s question.

“Ah! Se-hyuk hyung, and the two hunters I met through Se-hyuk hyung. I also went with Baek Seong-ho and Jang Seon-yeong.”

“Are you talking about the two hunters in the famous guild?”

“That’s right! Do you know?”

“I don’t know him personally, but I do know his name. He’s shaken hands with some pretty high-ranking people.”

“There are quite a few people who look for me.”

“I know.”

It certainly seems like Park Dong-jae has some skills.

The Myungga Guild is a place where only a small number of elite hunters with a level of 450 or higher gather.

It is a guild where hunters who are skilled in each field gather.

Although they did not have a separate base, since they were all wealthy, their scope of activity was nationwide.

They owned many dungeons, and there were quite a few guilds and organizations that requested collaboration with them.

If they call Park Dong-jae separately in such a place, there is no need to doubt his skills.

“Brother, how should I coordinate my hands and feet?”

“Is there a need to take the time to match it? I’ll trust your sense.”

“What does that mean?”

“I can check the status window to see if a buff has been applied. I will fight accordingly.”

“… … Is that possible? If you want to calculate the buff with certainty, wouldn’t it be better to hear it from the buffer?”

“Checking the status window is a daily routine for me.”

Kang-hoo shrugged.

When playing a game.

Just as he carefully played the map by looking at the minimap, Kang-hoo always checked his own condition.

It wasn’t difficult.

Because all you have to do is give it a quick glance.

Anyway, it had become a daily routine, so there was nothing new to Kang-hoo.

But the hunter who wasn’t used to this method used the method that Park Dong-jae just mentioned.

The buffer notifies you.

For example, ’30 seconds left for the acceleration buff!’, ’15 seconds left for the acceleration buff!’, etc.

It’s comfortable from the listener’s perspective.

However, from the perspective of the talking buffer, it is quite annoying to have to continuously report the status of all buffs.

“Hyung. If I start buffing like crazy like this, you might get completely screwed. Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Then try to twist it. Every time you twist it, I’ll give you a magic stone.”

“What color is it… … Aah! You have to tell me the color, hyung!”

Kang-hoo intentionally(?) kicked himself and stepped forward. It was Kang-hoo’s own prank.

Park Dong-jae also came to this dungeon with a grateful heart towards Kang-hoo, so he had no intention of being greedy.

Park Dong-jae is the one who considers the very thought of such a thing a sin.

He planned to steadily repay his debt of life to Kang-hoo in this way from now on.

On the other hand, I was curious to find out what kind of person he was. It was clear that he was a skilled hunter.

The next moment.

“Wow! That’s amazing.”

The buff was immediately applied to Kang-hoo.

At that moment, just like Park Dong-jae said, my feet almost tangled because the acceleration was so fast.

It was twice as efficient as the acceleration skill that Kang-hoo possessed.

【Running instinct – 55 seconds】

‘It’s long.’

The buff lasts quite a long time.

Normally, the buff duration of a buffer acquired through a basic buff skill or awakened through a skill book was 20 seconds by default.

Here, it was only possible to increase the maintenance time by increasing the proficiency.

At that level, it’s likely that he’s reached maximum proficiency or something close to it. That means he’s probably used it tens of thousands of times.

and.

Pfft!

The concentration on visual information has increased, as if a completely new perspective on the world has been opened.

This was also a buff.

【Mental Focus – 53 seconds】

【Strategy Control – 39 seconds】

Concentration greatly increases the receptivity to visual information entering the field of vision.

Strategic control excludes useless information, such as information about insignificant pebbles on the floor.

In short, it’s a buff that makes sure you only see what you need to see, and it definitely feels that way.

When I ate Mad Solarkyum, I felt like I was experiencing a time when the world looked different.

‘This is crazy.’

I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Park Dong-jae is still a growing buffer, and he is a hunter with as much room to grow as Kang-hoo himself.

If you can say you’re crazy now, there’s no need to talk about the later story.

Right then.

Park Dong-jae’s voice, full of curiosity, could be heard from behind.

“Hey, what do you think? Isn’t the buff so delicious? Everyone comes to me because of this taste? What do you think? Are your hands itchy?”

Then Kang-hoo smiled and shouted at Park Dong-jae.

“Okay, let’s die together!”

Park Dong-jae should have known then.

If you give wings to a running horse, what will happen to the person following the horse?

From then on, Kang-hoo’s rampage with his wings properly attached began.
