The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself

Hour of the Beast (3)

* * *

Kang-hu, who approached as close as possible without being noticed by Gong Tae-soo, quietly aimed for the timing in the dark.

Skill casting, casting, some follow-up moves, and preparation for skill casting again.

Gong Tae-soo was obviously adding firepower to his subordinates’ attacks from a distance with a set routine.

Perhaps because the Shrine of the Holy Ghost was also there, the skill hit hard even from a fairly long distance.

Push!

“Oops!”

The wind, resembling a sharp spear, flew in an instant and pierced the chest of one mercenary.

I wondered if that amount of firepower would come out at a distance well over 200m, but it wasn’t difficult for Gong Tae-soo.

‘It would be best to strike at the moment of casting.’

Ganghu caught the timing.

No matter how good a hunter is, he cannot be free from the constraints of time.

The ‘awakening’ effect can dramatically shorten the skill casting time.

However, judging by the time spent using Gong Tae-soo’s skills, there seemed to be no items related to awakening.

“Ku-k-k-k-k.”

Gong Tae-soo smiled as he watched the battle.

It will be fun.

The board was going as he thought, and the mercenaries were being slaughtered one after another.

90% of the screams coming from the dungeon belonged to the mercenaries. The situation was that bad.

‘Two seconds. Time to keep one-on-one.’

Kang-hoo finished the calculation.

Considering the surrounding escorts and reactions, you can create a state of being alone with the attacker in about 2 seconds.

I held my breath even more.

I was watching to see if the offensive flow of Gong Tae-soo was consistent so that there would be no off-beat.

Perhaps because there were no enemies nearby, Gong Tae-soo’s ranged attacks followed a regular pattern.

Kang-hoo, who synchronized the time perfectly, caught the moment after Gong Tae-soo’s skill was cast.

and.

Dig!

It appeared with a leap in the thick darkness. At the same time, he cast an abduction skill toward Gong Tae-soo.

“… … 100 million!”

It was a success.

Gong Tae-soo, who belatedly recognized Kang-hu, who appeared in an unexpected place, was immediately kidnapped.

There was no time to resist.

I didn’t expect a surprise attack because I was supporting skills in the front.

“What!”

At that moment, the subordinates, realizing that the captain had been dragged by something, looked away.

From now on.

The time before they approached was the only time Ganghu could go one-on-one.

Fain!

Kang Hu used illusion magic to scatter five illusions resembling him to the surroundings.

It’s to buy time.

【Night Vision】

Thanks to the skillful Communicator Constellation, the always-maintained night vision ability replaces the darkness with light.

There was no visual problem for Kang-hoo now. Rather, the problem is that it is too obvious.

“X feet!”

The dragged Gong Tae-soo spat out swear words and immediately tried to use a short-distance movement skill.

It is also a typical evasion method for magic hunters. Because it’s a good way to get out of the field.

In a way, the fact that he had the mental strength to get out of the scene at the same time as being dragged in was also a great thing.

the problem is.

“You read it.”

The point is that Ganghu predicted Gong Tae-soo’s avoidance early on.

I didn’t even think that the kidnapping would succeed cleanly in the first place. Because Gong Tae-soo is not an idiot.

I thought the direction of avoidance would be to move backwards, which is easy to counterattack, but that prediction was correct.

There was only one result that Gong Tae-soo, who was able to see through Kang-hu’s numbers, could obtain. It’s a counterattack.

Spaat!

Fu-wook! Puff! hooked!

Kang-hu, who had narrowed the distance with a quick leap, plunged the dagger into Gong Tae-soo’s left armpit and shoulder.

Gong Tae-soo was wearing a pretty decent breastplate, but unfortunately his shoulders and armpits weren’t the areas that could be protected.

“Aagh!”

Gong Tae-soo screamed.

I couldn’t believe it.

What kind of guy was he that he had been aiming for his gap for a long time?

The point where Ganghu appeared was not at all in the range where Gong Tae-soo predicted that there would be enemies.

If he had recognized the presence of mana or even the passing of mana, he would have cut off the buds right away!

Gong Tae-soo could not detect Kang-hoo, who had completely hidden his traces.

It was a fatal mistake.

“This bastard… … !”

Roaring!

Along with the red eyes filled with murder, fierce flames burned on Gong Tae-soo’s right hand.

‘close.’

When exposed to such crazy flames, it seemed that even if it was strong, the body would not have the ability to withstand it.

It is a minimal burn, and the longer the exposure time, the faster the bones and flesh will melt.

Ganghu jumped backwards and stepped back.

Anyway, the establishment of a one-sided attack was over.

because there is bleeding.

Pupperpuppung!

“Aww!”

As soon as he used the Bleeding skill, an explosion occurred from Gong Tae-soo’s left shoulder.

Since he had been determined from the beginning and had deeply wounded himself, the bones and muscles of the attacker did not have the ability to withstand it.

“Big uh… … !”

Gong Tae-soo groaned and stretched his right hand over his left shoulder.

The arm that was supposed to be there was already gone.

work!

At that moment, Kang-hoo grabbed Gong Tae-soo’s left arm and quickly left the scene.

It was because the escorts were just arriving, and some were even shooting arrows at Ganghu.

The purpose has been sufficiently achieved.

Caang! Kakang!

Ganghu blocked the road with a protective barrier in the direction where the enemy’s attack could continue.

Papapat. pod. Pod!

We left the scene at full speed.

Just before mana hypersensitivity kicked in, I ended it neatly.

Gong Tae-soo’s left arm, which he checked again just in case, was definitely his.

The messy tattoo and the phrase matched Gong Tae-soo’s favorite phrase.

‘I’ve done all the luxurious things.’

There was even a magic stone embedded in his forearm.

It is one of the human body modifications that magic hunters often do.

It’s like carrying a kind of portable ‘mana battery’.

There are so many side effects that an expert’s surgery is needed, but looking at the composition, it seems that a very meticulous touch has been reached.

Of course, now it has become a useless operation. Now that it has become an arm without an owner, it is just a piece of meat.

Three rings are visible between the five stiff fingers.

I thought it would be an item related to mana without looking at it.

As he didn’t really need it, he thought of disposing of Lee Ye-rin as soon as he met him.

When I checked the grade of the ring, there were two 5th grade for one 4th grade. At least 1.4 billion won can be secured.

“aaa!”

“Big! help me! Save me, please!”

far away

The screams of the mercenaries moaning in pain could be heard from all around the dungeon.

Aside from Gong Tae-soo losing his left arm to Kang-hu, their fate will never have a happy ending.

Rather, it was likely to go even worse.

Since he even lost his most important left arm, the butcher in Ulsan will not be able to see anything now.

“I’m desperate for a sip of canned coffee.”

Kang Hu recalled the canned coffee that had a strong milk taste, and leisurely left the scene.

The mercenaries did their best, and Kang Hu was at fault.

However, the mercenaries, unaware of this fact, continued to cry out the name of Taesoo Gong and searched for him.

It was only aggravating that only Gong Tae-soo’s tantrum was eagerly aroused.

same time.

“What kind of guy are you? What kind of bastard is that… … ! Aagh!”

“Leader! Step back first! I will bring you a Hunter with healing powers soon!”

“My arm is missing, what the hell are you going to do with it!”

“Shouldn’t you stop the bleeding! You will fall at this rate!”

“You must find out who it is! picture! If you have any pictures taken, be sure to bring them to me!”

Gong Tae-soo shouted.

He had never had such deep wounds on his body before.

Having stepped on the Royal Road, he had never experienced setbacks or failures.

He, who was considered an icon of undefeated 100 times, lost his most important left arm.

As such, it was questionable whether he would be able to digest even a proper battle as a wizard hunter.

It wasn’t just that his pride was hurt, he felt like he had been trampled on, crushed and thrown into the trash.

Even in pain, I tried to review the battle with Ganghu, but I couldn’t understand it.

What kind of skill could cause an explosion using the wounds on the shoulder and armpit as a medium?

Looking at his skill, he was unmistakably an assassin-type hunter, but the aspect of the skill he implemented also had the characteristics of a magic world.

“I… … . This gongtaesu… … !”

An angry cry broke out.

He lost his arm as a trophy, so he couldn’t wash away the humiliation.

There is only one way.

Find the guy who made this, and see the end somehow.

That was it.

That is the only perfect revenge.

* * *

3 hours later.

“This… … How do you get it?”

“I was thinking of taking a trip to Ulsan comfortably, but I saw Tae-soo Gong. I cut it well and brought it.”

“Wait. Isn’t this a dream? This is Seon-gyu’s cut off arm, right? It’s real, isn’t it?”

“If it seems like a dream, I will take it.”

“Oh no! no! I was blown away! It’s real, real!”

Around dawn, Lee Ye-rin’s mouth dropped open when she met Kang-hu and confirmed Gong Tae-soo’s ‘left arm’.

It matched the information on the left arm obtained in advance.

As well as the tattoos with famous quotes in Latin, the magic stones were also separately crafted for surgery.

I didn’t give the request hoping that Ganghu would fail, but I didn’t expect success either.

This is because the reputation as a butcher in Ulsan was not given for nothing. He was strong and prudent.

I couldn’t even guess through what process Gong Tae-soo lost his left arm helplessly to Kang-hu.

Moreover, according to information obtained from the field in Ulsan, the majority of mercenaries were killed or captured.

A dead mercenary was rather a lucky case, and a mercenary caught alive was the worst in anyone’s eyes.

There was a very high possibility of being handed over to human trafficking, as well as becoming prey for Tae-Soo Gong.

in other words.

Looking at the situation at the scene alone, it was as if a large number of mercenaries were sacrificed in the game Taesu Gong had laid out.

However, Ganghu leisurely cut off Taesu Gong’s left arm and brought it back.

The news from the scene is hell, but Kang-hoo didn’t seem to have any of that.

“It’s settled. I hope you get the money for the left arm and buy this item right away.”

“wait a minute. Mr. Seongyu Don’t worry, the settlement will be done soon. Shall we talk about something else for a second?”

“I think I can do it while I’m doing the cleaning. Why do you even want to talk about it?”

“great. So, I’ll start by appraising the three rings. You want to dispose of all three?”

“yes.”

In response to Ganghu’s answer, Lee Ye-rin looked at each ring and continued the ‘other story’ mentioned earlier.

“Aren’t you thinking of ending your life as a client and entering our office? I am confident that I can push you properly.”

“It’s a small playground, so it’s not very fun.”

“but. I thought I would hear that answer, but it came out so quickly that it hurt me a little.”

“There is no malice.”

It wasn’t that Kang-hoo disliked Lee Ye-rin. I just think they are small.

Kang-hu, who had a plan to fight against the Jeong-hwa guild, needed a much larger organization than Cheong-an.

“Sir Seon-gyu. I hope you continue to do business with our mercenaries in the future. I, honestly… … .”

“to be honest?”

“I think I will fall in love with Seon-gyu’s skills. I’ve managed thousands of clients so far, but I’m new to a ‘crazy guy’ like Seon-gyu.”

“You are crazy. That’s not wrong. surely.”

Kang Hu, who rarely laughs, burst into laughter at Lee Ye-rin’s unexpected analogy.

Yes, he was obviously a madman.

A crazy guy who puts away tomorrow and lives only for today. Just like that.
