The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 118

Episode 118 Park Dong-jae (4)

* * *

Kang-hoo used the master key to deliberately open the iron doors that the other hostages were trapped in.

Of course, I didn’t forget to give you just one caveat.

“I opened the door for you, but I am not responsible for your safety. The choice is yours.”

It would be great if we could rescue all the hostages safely like the protagonist in a superhero movie.

It’s not like Kang-hoo didn’t have such greed either. Just because he’s not altruistic doesn’t mean he’s heartless or heartless.

However, it was impossible to safely take out all of the more than a dozen hostages.

Even the combat personnel inside the building are alone.

All of the hostages were hunters, but none of them had any useful items.

Because they were all taken away by the Osho Mercenaries. It was only natural since they were kidnapped.

In any case, if you don’t have a core weapon, your firepower and combat power will inevitably decrease even if you use skills.

“Thank you! Thank you!”

“Let’s go out together!”

“Even if you run away separately, you’ll be dead if you get caught!”

“Let’s do that!”

But since they were hunters at heart, they came to a consensus of thoughts and opinions very quickly.

However, some hunters were seen not moving even though Kang-hoo opened the iron door.

That too is a choice.

They would rather seek safety here than try to escape and die.

If you ask if it was a good choice, Kang-hoo could definitely say no.

Whether the hostage and Kang-hoo’s escape is successful or not, there is a high possibility that they will become victims of needless anger.

‘You gave me the opportunity to choose, so you also gave me the opportunity to take responsibility for the consequences.’

Kang-hoo shook off his attachment to the remaining hostages. Everyone’s fate is not his responsibility.

First, I used horizontal movement to maintain a stealth state, then I moved among the hostages.

Rather than using them as a shield, it was a tactic to wait for attention to naturally fall on them.

As expected.

“The hostages are running away! Catch them! Any rebelling bastards can be killed immediately! Take them down!”

One of the Osho Mercenaries’ hunters shouted as he checked the escape route.

Although he didn’t seem to be a captain, he seemed to be in a position to command the five mercenaries that came with him.

“Let’s cover! We are ahead in numbers!”

The man who had naturally been giving orders among the escaping hunters shouted. It was a wise decision.

If you run away in panic here, the number of people dying will only increase.

It would be faster to attack them first and seize their weapons, even if it means making some sacrifices.

【The Curtain of Skill】

Kang-hoo laid the curtain of skill.

The stealth gained through horizontal movement is immediately canceled when an attack is launched, so it is for hiding the body more reliably.

“Kill them! They have no weapons!”

The Osho mercenary group also immediately confronted him.

Everyone was rushing with the determination to escape, but Kang-hoo thought that one or two sacrifices were inevitable.

But the two men at the front were on my mind. They seemed to be completely absorbed in their mission to save people.

“hmm.”

It catches the eye.

By utilizing their ‘lives’, it is easier to exploit the mercenaries’ weaknesses.

I wanted to give points to the courage of two men who risked their lives even though they knew it was dangerous.

To be blunt, it’s not like there’s no way to help them. It’s just a question of efficiency.

【Lightning ratio】

【Lightning ratio】

He used his lightning skill in succession and hurled the two daggers he had in his arms.

It was a cheap dagger that did not need to be recovered separately and was intended for deterrence and blocking movement rather than killing.

Whoa whoa!

Two daggers flew through the narrow space between the hostages with a thud.

Phew! Phew!

“Ugh!”

“Shit!”

It hit the mercenary who was swinging his greatsword with the intention of splitting the two men’s heads in half.

One of them dropped his greatsword after being stabbed in the armpit with a dagger.

Another one had a dagger stuck in his wrist, completely distorting the sword’s path in the final stages.

“ah……!”

“Did you help me?”

The two men regained their senses.

They could tell.

That Kang-hoo had just saved them from a near-death experience.

Right then.

Suddenly, Kang-hoo appeared out of thin air.

Thanks to the hiding power of the curtain of skill, Kang-hoo, who had been invisible, appeared outside the curtain.

【When you step out of the curtain, the stealth effect disappears immediately, the curtain disappears, and you gain 2x increased movement speed for 2 seconds.】

Enjoy the benefits of speed boosts available outside the veil of finesse.

Phewhaaaaak! Phewhaaaaak!

A dagger attack combined with a beheading struck down two mercenaries at once.

A situation where it appeared so close, without a sound, and slit my throat before passing away.

“Ugh!”

“Ugh.”

The two mercenaries realized belatedly that there was a problem with their necks and quickly tried to stop the bleeding.

Push-shoo-shoo!

The blood flow spurting out of the veins was much stronger. Blood gushed forward like a flood.

“This kid!”

The three remaining mercenaries recognized Kang-hoo’s presence and tried to change the direction of their attack.

But when the two greatswords dropped by the two mercenaries who had just died ended up in the hands of the hostage, I could feel that the situation was getting worse.

“No, let’s get out!”

“Throw a smoke bomb!”

One of the mercenaries, quicker than the two who had lost their lives earlier, detonated a smoke bomb.

As a result, the entire 4th basement floor became a scene of chaos filled with smoke.

Kang-hoo was also caught up in the smoke.

It was a situation where visibility was not secured even in the form of night vision or other forms.

However, Kang-hoo had the ability to detect the enemy’s location in a different way than usual.

The ability to scan constellations.

The three fleeing mercenaries each had a constellation contract, which resulted in a red dot appearing above their heads.

That is, even if it was not visible, the point and direction to target could be specified at any time.

“after.”

After taking a deep breath.

Shhhh!

I threw my second-grade dagger, Corrupted Belief, with all my might as a lightning sword.

It was a blow thrown with confidence in the glove that could retrieve one designated ‘cognition weapon’, Mollis Maniche.

and.

“Ouch!”

One of the Osho mercenaries, whose corrupted beliefs were firmly planted in the back of his neck, was killed instantly.

The dagger pierced the center without a single inch of error and shattered the cervical vertebrae.

“F—, f—, f—!”

“What the heck, that kid? What the hell is that guy doing!”

The end of the five mercenaries who appeared on the scene with arrogance, saying they would subdue the hostage, was pitiful.

Three died, and two ran away without looking back.

He must have been in such a hurry that he left the door, which should have been properly closed so that it would automatically lock, abandoned.

Thanks to that, their escape route was completely changed to the escape route of Kang-hoo and the hostage.

Total chaos.

To begin with, they were the remnants of a mercenary group, and apart from their name, they were no different from a bunch of idiots who had gathered together.

Especially for them, who had no attachment to the organization whatsoever, training was a story from a faraway land.

So inside and outside.

The fate of the Osho mercenary group, which had been making a fortune through hostage trading, was rushing towards its end.

* * *

Zero hostage deaths.

Many mercenary deaths.

Things went much better than Kang-hoo had expected.

The situation turned out well because there was one more unexpected variable.

‘Even though you’ve gathered the remnants, I thought you’d still have some sense of system and mission.’

The enemy’s condition was too serious.

It was too selfish.

So, even though it was possible to obstruct Kang-hoo’s pursuit or make the hostage’s escape difficult,

Instead of doing that, I just ran out without looking back, trying to save my own life.

Of course, one of them was still in his right mind.

The captain we met in front of the elevator on the 2nd basement floor.

One of Jeon Jong-du’s confidants, his name was Park Jun. He was a hunter of the same assassin lineage as Kang-hu.

He was an impressive man with a short, sporty haircut and dozens of piercings on his lips and ears.

As soon as Park Jun saw Kang Hu, he showed hostility.

“네가 인질들을 제멋대로 풀어 준 개새끼구나.”

“네가 인질들을 제멋대로 가둬 둔 개새끼구나.”

Give back exactly what you said.

It’s the best way to scratch your inner self.

Kang-hoo kept a close distance from Park-jun. About 10 meters.

In a battle between assassins and assassins, it was a battle that could happen in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps because they were aware of each other, there was a strange air of confrontation despite the close distance.

“I lost my entire business because of you. Of course, if I kill you, I’ll probably be able to recover more than enough.”

‘The constellations are quite interesting.’

Kang-hoo was licking his lips as he looked at Park Joon’s constellation information that was caught in the constellation scan. Then Park Joon snapped.

“You little punk, do you like guys? Why do you look at me and feel your taste buds again?”

“Because it looks delicious.”

“Huh… … This is it again.”

“Even if you have good ingredients, if you can’t cook it, it won’t taste good. That’s exactly how you are.”

“What are you talking about, you faggot?”

Park Jun seemed to be thinking about the meaning of ‘taste’ that Kang Hoo had mentioned in a completely different way.

Anyway, Kang-hoo lowered his posture slightly and prepared to respond to Park-jun’s movements.

Assassin vs. Assassin combat is rarely prolonged. It is short-lived or very short-lived.

So I never even thought about taking Solarkyum separately.

“… … .”

Kang-hoo usually enjoys taking the lead, but this time he was cautious against Park Jun.

Park Jun snickered when Kang Hoo, who had been diligently cutting down other mercenary subordinates, became cautious.

“I don’t know how that guy killed our captain. Maybe he just got lucky.”

“It might have been.”

Kang-hoo nodded.

“It’s because the captain is the type who lets his guard down a lot. I told him to do it over and over again, but he didn’t change his mind.”

“Park Jun. What do you think about us quietly making a peace agreement here and each of us stepping back?”

“what?”

“Let’s both let go of our strength. Is there any need to risk our lives for nothing? If we just pretend not to know each other, I can escape and you can find a way to live.”

“You idiot! You’re so scared, there’s nothing you can’t say with your mouth!”

Park Jun, who was quite proud of his skills as an assassin, thought that Kang Hoo was scared.

In fact, Jeon Jong-du’s death has been an unsolved mystery to everyone ever since.

No matter how you think about it, there is no way that Jeon Jong-du, who is high level and has good physique, would lose in a one-on-one fight.

So, right before the battle, everyone secretly approached Kang-hoo in hiding.

I thought that Jeon Jong-du, who was busy increasing his fighting power by absorbing life energy, had missed his hiding spot.

An absurd death due to a gap being exposed due to carelessness. It was a plausible conclusion. But it was completely different from reality.

Kang-hoo’s passive response immediately irritated the belligerent Park Jun.

Originally, I had planned to gauge the timing of my attack by looking at the liver, but at this point, it seemed like a preemptive strike would definitely be advantageous.

at that time.

Pfft!

Kang-hoo moved first.

He chose a straightforward attack, jumping forward and swinging his dagger, and facing the enemy head-on.

‘Idiot.’

Park Jun was not flustered.

His forte was his quick evasion, rendering such attacks useless.

It was an evasion skill that was even transformed into an ultimate skill by receiving the effects of the constellations.

But, at that moment.

“… … ?”

Evasion skill was not activated.

“f*ck.”

Park Jun’s mind went blank.

Kang-hoo’s fifth constellation privilege.

He didn’t know that he was completely affected by the limitations of his spatial movement skills.
