The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 15

Episode 15 Stormy Hill (2)

* * *

Kang-hu, who got off at Yongsan Station, had some free time.

This is because, unlike before, there are fewer people walking around, so the number of trains heading to Gapyeong has decreased.

The first place Kang-hoo visited was the Hunter Market located inside Yongsan Station.

Since it was a market directly operated by the Hunter Police Department, it was large in scale and had many items handled internally.

The total amount of money I have is 200 million won.

I went around looking for the best items within the range where I could spend the most money, and it worked.

【Ecstasy of the Sky – Weapon】

【Rating: 5th grade】

【Strength +50】

【When in a non-combat state for more than 30 minutes, the speed of stamina recovery increases by 5 times.】

This was an item that could be quite helpful in recovering stamina while sleeping or resting.

Of course, it is not conditionally omnipotent, because in non-combat mode, it does not use any mana.

This is not common outside of the metropolitan area, where you always have to be alert and cautious.

Still, my strength has increased significantly.

When I changed my weapon and discarded the practice dagger that barely increased my strength by 1, the feeling changed dramatically.

Kang-hoo grabbed a stone he had picked up from the flower bed in front of the station and held it tightly.

Woodduduk. Woodduduk.

The stone, which would normally have been impossible to crush, was shattered into pieces.

‘Yeah, that’s what strength is.’

Although there were some parts that were put off due to the incredible power of the skill.

In fact, muscle strength, which is the basis of all power, has never been unimportant.

Just because you’re an assassin class doesn’t mean you need to be agile and move quickly.

The raw power to instantly increase one’s physical strength to its limit and cut off the enemy’s breath is also important.

‘It’s true that mana hypersensitivity makes me nervous every time I fight, but······.’

Kang-hoo habitually ran his fingertips over his forehead and evaluated himself.

Mana hypersensitivity certainly has its pros and cons, but the pros far outweigh the cons.

Even the battle that took place at Club Hades was like that.

Side effects aside, there was no need to worry about mana, so Kang-hoo could use his skills without holding back.

It was completely different from other hunters who had to worry about mana depletion.

No wonder Yoon Sang-mi asked several times, “Aren’t you running out of mana?”

It must have been because I didn’t understand.

at that time.

Kkururururuk!

I heard a thunderclap from the stomach I had been holding in. Come to think of it, I hadn’t eaten anything since dawn.

“I guess I should try experiencing the prices of Seoul for the first time in a while.”

I know it’s expensive, but you can’t prepare for a dungeon raid without eating anything.

Headed to the restaurant.

and.

“Galbitang. 150,000 won for a bowl.”

I came face to face with the prices of Seoul.

The prices of food in Seoul, where the sublime values of peace and life are embedded, were murderous.

I’m not the type to enjoy delicious food, but today I had to make an exception for myself.

After eating a bowl of 150,000 won galbitang without leaving a single drop of broth or pepper, I walked along the street near the station.

The sky was clearly cloudy, just like at Daejeon Station, but it felt strangely warm and gentle.

It must be my mood.

The world seems different when you are sure that nothing will happen here.

“Whoa! Over there! They came that way! They must have turned around on their way! Let’s go quickly!”

“Oh, really? Why is it so hard to see my brothers’ faces!”

“Run quickly! If you’re late, you won’t be able to take pictures!”

At that moment, women who looked to be well over thirty began to run ahead of each other.

The excitement and cheering was so great that it felt like a celebrity had arrived.

The people that Kang-hoo saw were only a very small number, and people were flocking in from other directions as well.

‘no way.’

There was something to ponder.

Kang-hoo quickly ran into the crowd. There were quite a few men among the crowd.

When I got to the crowded place, I could understand the reason for this explosive reaction.

‘also······.’

A group of hunters who had secured a route lined up and were heading towards the dungeon south of Yongsan Station.

They are the hunters of the Purification Guild.

It is the undisputed number one guild in Korea with Jang Si-hwan as its master, and is also the ‘only’ guild in Seoul.

If you take out the Police Department and the Purification Guild from the Hunter composition in Seoul, it would be 0······.

It wasn’t a joke, it was real.

This is because the Purification Guild either absorbed all the guilds in Seoul or cleverly shifted the blame to them and disbanded them.

【Jang Si-hwan’s thoughts about the Hunter and the organization, which he believed to be absolute evil, were surprisingly distorted.

In his delusions, the line between truth and lies became blurred, and sometimes lies became truth.

He was obsessed with the proposition that only the Purification Guild was absolute good, and he aligned all his thoughts with his delusions.

So, even until the moment the Demon King descended, he didn’t realize that he had committed such a great evil deed.】

Even when I think about it again, the story development is so bad that I wonder why they made such a sudden leap in the latter half of the story.

Part of the epilogue was that the so-called main character actually lived in delusions and dreams.

This is why I can’t help but get cursed at and have my ratings slashed on the platform where I’m serializing it.

Anyway, the Purification Guild was the only guild in Seoul, and people’s trust in them was beyond imagination.

So it was only natural that a fandom would develop around the core members.

“Gyah! Brother Guan-hyung!”

“Oppa Guan-hyung! Please look at this side just once! Please! Just one picture!”

The person who particularly captivated female fans was Chae Gwan-hyung.

He waved at people with a bright smile, his violet-colored hair particularly suited to him.

It is the complete opposite of Kang-hoo’s expressionless and deep eyes that seem to contain all the darkness and sadness in the world.

‘You must have given it to that guy. I wonder how many constellations are attached to it.’

Kang-hoo scanned the constellation information of the red dot that was blinking incessantly above Chae-gwan-hyeong’s head.

It was at least ten or more.

Since it wasn’t even printed out in the information window, […] was added and the content was folded.

of course.

Considering the later Shin Kang-hoo who grew rapidly after escaping from the concentration camp, it is an ‘appropriate’ amount.

Three years from now, Shin Kang-hoo will be a being to whom all the world’s coincidences and good fortunes gather.

That doesn’t mean I plan on spending the next three years without thinking about anything.

After escaping from the Qingming concentration camp, the story begins to become a little distorted as things start to happen that were not in the original work.

‘Yes, I was missing something important. I was only thinking about what was given to me, so I overlooked it… … .’

A thought suddenly occurred to me.

From now on, Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong continue to grow through various paths of fate and monopolization.

It is a device in the novel that is naturally permitted to the main character and his colleagues.

Kang-hoo thought that he should intervene in that element and turn the direction towards himself.

Because there is enough information.

Starting from items, to connections with other constellations, and even connections with people you will definitely need in the future.

There are many important things.

There are ample opportunities to snatch future benefits that they do not yet know about.

but.

‘The level is the problem.’

All factors considered.

I thought I should be at least level 50.

It’s a number that I’ve barely managed to match by reducing and reducing, and if I think loosely, I should look at up to 100.

‘First of all, fifty.’

Kang-hoo set a short-term goal.

The next thought is to throw everything away and just run straight to level 50.

After that, I think about the following.

I felt good because I realized something that I had overlooked while I was busy adapting to reality.

In fact, the most delicious thing is to steal something from someone else and eat it.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking right now.

Chook.

Kang-hoo closed the coat he had worn in the chilly weather and turned back toward Yongsan Station.

at that time.

“That guy······doesn’t he seem handsome?”

“Oh, really. He looks like Minho from Nine Boys! No, he’s much prettier than Minho.”

“Who is it?”

The women who recognized Kang-hoo’s appearance, which had been quietly buried in the crowd, began to chatter.

Even though her face was pale and bloodless, it couldn’t hide the beauty hidden within.

Rather, there was even a corner that strangely stimulated my protective instinct.

But no one could carelessly approach a man they met for the first time without even knowing who he was.

So Kang-hoo leisurely left Yongsan Station.

Make sure you have set short-term goals!

That alone made the 150,000 won galbitang I ate at Yongsan Station worth it.

* * *

Around evening time.

Kang-hu, who arrived at Gapyeong Station at the appointed time, immediately received the quick delivery sent by Master Kay.

Just like filling a safe with cash, I felt like I owned the world when I put ten Solarkiums in my inner pocket.

“It’s too quiet.”

It’s a weeknight, and it’s outside of Seoul, so I guess that could be the case.

I thought there were a lot of people who took the last train from Yongsan, but when I got off, there was no one there.

Anyway, I finished checking the items I was wearing, emergency food, medicine, and even solarium.

With this, you are ready to enter the dungeon.

I’ve become familiar with the information about the dungeon that was shared in advance, and all that’s left is to wait for the entry time.

however.

– Please! I’ll give you everything I have, so just let me go! Please, I beg you, please!

A woman’s voice was heard from a distance that was not close to the source, but was clearly audible.

I was hearing things that were connected to a heinous crime that I couldn’t just ignore.

– I don’t need anything you have. Just give me your body for a little while. Can you lend it to me?

– The last train has already passed, and there are no police stations around. There’s no point in yelling, so just give up.

– Do you think a prince on a white horse will show up? Sorry, but we’ve already cut off the heads of those guys.

-Kill, kill, kill!

At least four voices were heard. Of course, there may have been some who didn’t speak, so the minimum is four.

Since it was a moving route in the first place, Kang-hoo walked towards the place where he heard the voice.

Maybe because the route goes all the way north from Exit 1 of Gapyeong Station, there weren’t many people.

The only convenience store that was open was closed before the sun had even set.

“······.”

A woman was seen being harassed by four men in a dark alley.

There were three-story buildings on either side, but they were empty buildings that people had left long ago.

“Help me! Please!”

The woman whose eyes met Kang-hoo’s screamed desperately. At the same time, the gang’s gaze turned to Kang-hoo.

“Hey. Do you think I’m going to step forward and save you like the main character in a novel? Hey, just go your way.”

“If you don’t want to get stabbed in the heart, go on your way. Okay?”

I could feel the traces of mana following the daggers that the two guys in front were spinning around.

He’s a hunter.

So, they have no choice but to be arrogant.

Kang-hoo turned his head without saying anything and left the scene. His steps did not seem to show even a shred of regret.

“Look! Kkul! The world isn’t like a novel, is it? Just take it off and I’ll treat you gently.”

“Hehehehe!”

When the four of you confirmed that Kang-hoo was gone, you rushed to unzip your pants and start having fun.

Phew!

One of the hunters, who was quite good at hearing, stopped his pants from falling when he heard the sound of the wind blowing from somewhere.

Right then.

Phew!

“Cough!”

Suddenly, Kang-hoo appeared, stabbed one of the guys in the ‘there’ area, and passed by.

It was a fleeting attack, but that one attack left the area between his legs covered in blood.

It appeared on the northern route, which was an uninhabited area, not the southern route where Kang-hoo had disappeared.
