The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 122

Episode 122 Hidden Skill (1)

* * *

Hidden skill.

This is a skill that can never be obtained in its normal form. It is also a unique skill in the Hunter World.

For example, there is a black magic skill that is a lower-compatible version of ‘Blood Fire’, which Kang-hoo likes to use.

For example, burning mana.

If you raise your Mana Burn skill to the max and upgrade your Mana Stone or strengthen your skill, you can burn some of the Mana flowing out from your opponent to inflict damage.

Of course, it is not comparable to the blood fire that burns blood and causes an explosion, but the form is similar.

However, hidden skills are activated in a form that best suits the acquirer.

Because the manifestation process is designed to be a difficult yet meaningful one, it was difficult to find other similar skills. If there were any, it was likely a hidden skill.

【Hidden Skills were waiting for their masters in a ‘hidden crack’ that existed somewhere in this world.

Jang Si-hwan couldn’t help but be surprised at the fact that he had acquired such a hidden skill.

On the one hand, there were also high expectations for its power. What kind of skills would it give to a wizard like me?

This is the story of Jang Si-hwan acquiring hidden skills as written in the original work. It is a story of fate.

Skills that are compatible with the discoverer are given, and in the original, Jang Si-hwan obtained the skill called ‘Great Red Flame’.

It was a magical skill that caused a fire pit the size of a house to fall from the sky. It was like a smaller version of Meteor.

‘There’s just one problem. It may not be a serious one, but…’

Before Kang-hoo started learning hidden skills, he pointed out one thing that bothered him.

What this means is that when you acquire a Hidden Skill, a notification is sent to Hidden Skill holders around the world.

Of course, the name or appearance of the winner is not revealed.

However, information about the skill name and the class of the person who obtained it has been disclosed.

In other words, later on, when you look at the skill, you can infer that the hunter who sent the notification at that time is this hunter.

And one more thing.

Owners of hidden skills can steal each other’s hidden skills.

The method was simple. Just kill them. If you kill an opponent who possessed a hidden skill, it will be inherited naturally.

For this reason, in the latter half of the original story, a bloody war breaks out between hunters with hidden skills.

Of course, the winner was Thirteen Stars.

‘It’s not like I can’t make kimchi because I’m afraid of maggots. Even if I can’t eat it, I’m fine.’

Kang-hoo conducted the study.

It would be stupid to give up on hidden skills because you’re afraid of that part. No, it’s impossible.

【Learn one hidden skill summoned from a hidden rift. Analyze the acquirer’s tendencies.】

【The succession is in progress.】

【’Baekilcham/Heukwolcham’ has been activated.】

【The Hidden Crack sends the following information to all Hidden Skill acquirers.】

【Acquire ‘Baekilcham/Heukwolcham’.】

【Assassin series.】

“Two names? Two skills?”

Unlike the basic skill window, hidden skills were displayed separately in a hidden skill window that was activated separately.

Usually you get one skill, but it was strange that the names were divided.

But it also felt like the notation was one, rather than two skills.

I looked at the detailed tooltip.

【Concentrates magical power or darkness for up to 10 seconds, then releases a crescent-shaped sword energy forward.】

【The power increases in proportion to the amount of time and energy condensed, and when blocked, a flash (magic power) or darkness (darkness) area is created.】

“i get it.”

Kang-hoo nodded.

Baekilcham is a form that utilizes magical power, and Heukwolcham is a form that utilizes dark energy.

The expression structure is the same, but the name changes depending on the power it is based on.

In addition, if you block the Baekilcham, a flash effect, or ‘eye-popping’ effect, is induced.

This means that if you block the Black Moon Slash, a dark area will temporarily appear where you can’t see anything.

“I never thought I’d get a Dark Age skill like this.”

I nodded my head because I thought it was unexpected, but I felt really good about what I got.

Since each uses magic power and darkness separately, it may be possible to use them twice in succession depending on the situation.

but.

It seemed like it would take a lot of overload to stimulate mana hypersensitivity.

Kang-hoo immediately took up his position.

The basic movement that was naturally acquired during the skill learning process was drawing a line with a dagger.

This is just a basic movement, and the skill mechanism does not change just because the movement is different.

So, I absentmindedly extended my dagger forward and condensed the darkness to its maximum.

“this.”

The 100 dark ages were completely gone in less than 2 seconds.

So how much darkness can the Black Moon Cham contain? I wonder what the maximum is.

“Ugh. As expected.”

A severe headache is coming on.

If it’s second to none in terms of overload, it’s four or five times more severe than the sad shadow walk.

The next moment.

Suiing!

A mournful cry came from the dagger, and a crescent-shaped sword energy materialized into a crimson form was released.

The sword energy flew at a rapid pace and cut a thick tree in half about 15 meters away.

If there had been a person, it would have been a powerful attack that would have torn the person in half while standing.

“The Great Decapitation and Lightning Blade have skill coefficients that are limited, but this is truly a finishing move.”

The understanding is complete.

This is an attack skill whose destructive power can increase proportionally depending on the skill caster’s ability.

Hunters usually call such skills by the common and easy word ‘ultimate move’.

“I need to refine this. I need to practice a lot.”

Kang-hoo made a satisfied expression.

Power aside, it is a skill that is unique to me in the entire world. There is no limit to its firepower either.

【You really know a lot. It must be a coincidence, yet you don’t seem surprised at all.】

At that moment, the Dimension Robber spoke up.

There is probably no one who keeps a sharp eye on you as much as she does. She must have that much affection for you.

“I guess I’m just lucky.”

He answered nonchalantly.

In fact, it is an obvious loophole in this world that can be seen through because everyone knows the truth.

【I’m curious. Open the book next to you. I’m not the only one who’s curious.】

Even though the Dimension Robber is the only one speaking, why does it feel like there’s a Dark Seeker right next to him?

In fact, the only pleasure that the free constellations get from the Great Temple is to look into the lives of the contractors.

Every time I look at Kang-hoo, he’s growing rapidly, so I’d be lying if I said I didn’t notice him.

Soon I put my hand on the remaining books.

I already knew what the book was about.

【You can add 3 more main constellation slots】

【The constellation contracted with this slot will be treated equally as the main constellation, and will rise in rank along with the growth of the contract holder.】

【You can also provide special benefits to contractors and form communities with other constellations.】

Just add the main constellation slot.

In short, the one-on-one love between Kang-hoo and the dimension robber is now over.

Of course, the balance was broken when the pure black seeker joined, but it was accelerating.

【Nimi.】

at that time.

The short, powerful words of the Dimension Robber, who realized that there would be more competitors, rang in Kang-hoo’s ears.

It was a typical reaction for her.

After a while.

Coming out through the exit, Kang-hoo was once again faced with the dry air of the familiar hell of judgment.

I have gained a lot from time and space that no one knows about.

And now, somewhere far away… …Jang Si-Hwan is fighting hard to the death.

The chance that allowed him to grow wings when he reached level 800 was lost forever.

Losing the opportunity to add a main constellation slot is a fatal blow.

This is because there are many high-ranking constellations that will never sign a contract unless they are guaranteed a spot in the main constellation.

In the original work, Jang Si-hwan added slots like this and made contracts with three constellations within the top 35.

From this point on, Jang Si-hwan became a runaway train.

In the world of the highest level, where it takes at least a month to raise your level by 1, you will achieve the miraculous feat of raising your level by 1 per day. You are the ultimate protagonist correction.

‘First a Dimensional Robber and a Seeker of Darkness. And then, with the approval of the Great Crusade, a Strategist of the Wilderness.’

First of all, the three main constellations have been secured.

Dimension Robber is a contract for the existing main constellation, Dark Seeker is a contract that uses a twisted contract, and Wilderness Strategist is a contract that unilaterally provides special benefits, so there is no overlap in slot utilization.

Therefore, the slots added this time can only be invested in new constellations.

It will be a matter of gradual consideration as to who will fill the remaining three positions.

As the constellations of the Great Temple are also aware that the main constellation of Kang-hoo is spacious.

The bite will come soon. The catastrophe is imminent – and the Dark Constellations are likely to be watching for an opportunity.

‘As a result of this incident, Jang Si-hwan lost at least 9 and at most 15 constellation privileges.’

Of course, the gap between him and Jang Si-hwan now was not narrowed just because he had taken away the value of the future.

But at least it was good that his growth was completely blocked and he gained explosive power to pursue.

Because in a long race, you never know who will win until you cross the finish line.

“You’ve seen it all.”

Kang-hoo brushed the dirt off his clothes and checked the map again.

The organized content was thorough and detailed.

At this point, there would be no problem with cross-validation. Rather, it would be nice if it received a shower of compliments.

Kang-hu, who had decided to meet Jin Hyo-young, started walking quickly.

My steps were lighter than ever.

* * *

That moment.

Inside the old castle, a torrential rain that started in the morning was pouring down along with thunder and lightning.

A man and a woman were talking.

Even if you just look at the dress code, the difference between black and white is clear, and the vibe it gives off is also similar.

If you happen to see this man and woman together from the outside, you will most likely doubt your eyes.

Her outfit, which started with her trademark pure white one-piece dress, was white everywhere you looked.

The name is Elizabeth.

This is the Elizabeth whom people call the ‘Saint of Salvation’. She is also a member of the Thirteen Stars.

She is the one who fits the word holy better than anyone else.

But across from her was a man who could best be described as corrupt and gloomy.

Vincent Meyer.

In the world of hunters, he is a serial killer known for only killing skilled hunters.

If he’s a murderer, it’s right to make him pay for his crimes, but the problem is that he’s too strong to do that.

The combination of angels and devils that should never go together was melting into the subtle scent of black tea.

Elizabeth said.

“We just got someone who acquired a hidden skill. Who is it? I don’t think it’s one of our members.”

“They’re not part of our group, since they’re assassins. Who are they? Interesting. El, do you remember any names?”

L.

An abbreviation or nickname for Elizabeth.

It’s an abbreviation that came naturally because the name that had to be called was long.

“Japan? Wouldn’t someone like Itsuki Kusunagi be worth acquiring?”

“But the guy is probably receiving treatment right now… … No, there’s no information that he went to the dungeon.”

“Vincent, what do you think?”

“Any news from Korea? If it’s the hellish, giant dungeon that Jang Si-hwan entered this time, there might be hidden cracks.”

“But there probably aren’t any useful assassins in the Purification Guild. Above all, they’d be incapable of acting individually.”

“I don’t know. There might be a single ant doing something else in the raid group.”

Vincent’s eyes glowed red as if blood was flowing out of them.

Hidden rifts never appear in small and poorly designed dungeons.

It usually occurs in places where many hunters gather, as it causes an invisible imbalance.

For Vincent, who had been collecting data in this field for a long time, the most suspicious area was Korea.

Because at this very moment, the only place where a large-scale attack issue is occurring is Hell of Judgment.

There is someone with a hidden skill that even Jang Si-hwan has not yet acquired… …. He is somewhere in the hell of judgment.

Curiosity arose in Vincent’s eyes as he licked his lips with the tip of his tongue.

And then he took a sip of his tea and bowed to Elizabeth.

“L. Do you want to visit Korea sometime while you’re at it?”
