The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself

Team play (2)

Middle Boss, Spotula.

It is a swordsman-type monster that swings a heavy greatsword in place and emits an intense storm in all directions.

Since it was a storm that received and discharged mana infinitely in the same place, there was no fear of being cut off in the middle.

In addition, since it was used every 2 seconds, it had to be considered that there was almost no gap, and the hitting range was quite wide.

To sum up, it was impossible to avoid Sportula’s sword wind no matter which direction it came from.

It is not that there are no alternatives.

This is because the middle boss can be skipped without catching it, depending on the case.

Unlike the main boss, attacking is not necessarily forced.

Just catch it because there is a reward if you catch it.

‘That’s unfortunate.’

However, it was a waste of skill to rob Sportula because it was difficult to approach.

He has three skills.

steel storm.

fluidization.

Step 1 self-defense.

What Ganghu was interested in was the first stage of self-defense.

It was a skill specialized in the process of protecting the body with a passive skill.

As the name suggests, it was also a skill that could be upgraded step by step by using the nectar stone.

First of all, I have a plan to attack Sportula.

However, as much as Jung Yu-ri’s cooperation was necessary, I asked her.

“Do you have any good ideas? I have already thought of one way.”

“Somehow that way! It sounds like what I was thinking. Can I tell you first?”

“Lady first.”

“Looking at it, it would be difficult to approach from the front. I’ll open the passage, so do you want to get off the top?”

What Jung Yuri pointed out with a bright expression was the top of Sportula’s head.

Kang-hoo smiled as he checked the direction her fingertips were pointing.

Because he had the same thoughts as her.

Jung Yu-ri is a hunter with the ability to open space in space.

Although there is a distance limit, it is possible to somehow open a passage that significantly narrows the distance.

If you can keep opening these passages in succession, it is possible to move over the head of Spotula.

The range of the storm is about 5m high from the ground, so you just need to be able to move all the way above it.

“It’s just like I thought.”

“huh! His attack is fierce, but on the other hand, his defense looks pretty weak.”

“Then please.”

“Right now?”

“Do you have any time to spare?”

“good!”

As soon as Jeong Yu-ri finished speaking, she opened the portal in front of Kang-hoo.

At the same time, an exit to the dimension gate was opened at a point about 7m in an oblique line.

It is this kind of movement.

“Whoa.”

After taking a short deep breath.

Fain!

Ganghu leapt and quickly entered the portal.

This was the beginning.

Since it is impossible to implement overlapping skills, the moment Ganghu came out, Jung Yu-ri opened the next dimension.

First of all, as if to definitely increase the altitude of Ganghu, three dimensional gates continued upward in the beginning.

After repeating this three times, before I knew it, Ganghu was at a height of about 15m from the ground.

Although he was in a good position to feel fear, Kang Hu looked down and his expression did not change once.

Fain!

In the meantime, the storm of swords emitted by Sportula savagely swept across the ground.

Each time, the rock turned to stone, and the stone turned to powder and disappeared.

It was a really powerful attack.

“I will keep the door open!”

“I like it now!”

Ganghu gave Jung Yuri a thumbs up.

Kang-hoo was well aware that she was highly focused.

It must be that the body and mind are rapidly overloading. Casting space utilization skills in succession is a task that requires a tremendous amount of effort.

If you run 100m and then you are told to run another 100m, will your body be able to withstand it?

It was just such a situation right now.

However, Jeong Yu-ri did not show his expression, but rather showed a bright smile and relieved his worries.

Because he was able to read her inner thoughts, Kang Hu also did his best in the current situation.

Dig!

Another dimensional door opened.

Perhaps he thought he had peaked, he pierced the road in a gradually decreasing altitude.

I could use the leap skill as much as I wanted in the air, so I threw myself into the dimension door more aggressively.

From that moment on, like a machine, the entrance and exit were created with a snap.

The approach was fleeting.

As the shortcut continues to open, the distance from Sportula, which was well over 100m, is right around the corner.

Before anyone knew it, Kanghu was in a position where he could see the crown of Sportula in full view.

‘It’s just a gatekeeper concept.’

Only then did I find out.

That the storm that Spotula emits in all directions is a repetitive action based on a certain set input value.

Even though Ganghu was perched above his head, he did not create a storm aimed at the upper ranks.

Shuuk!

Kanghu, who arrived at the target point, first fired the practice dagger toward Sportula.

It was an attack with light weight, more like a small check than an attack.

There was a reason.

It is to remove self-defense, a passive skill that protects Sportula.

just as expected.

shaaa.

The moment the practice dagger touched Spotula, self-defense activated and neutralized the attack.

It was a great defense, but at the same time there were gaps.

【Decapitation】

Ganghu immediately used the beheading skill without any further measure, and fell straight down.

The position was so good that it seemed like it could pierce the top of the Sportula’s head, even if it was just relying on gravity alone.

Fu-wook!

Kanghu, who succeeded in landing on the target point, slashed the top of his head with a dagger.

“… … !”

He ended the situation with one blow, so that he couldn’t hear a single groan.

The dagger, embedded so deeply that only the handle could be seen, perfectly ended Sportula’s life.

【Skills that can be stolen from a target with Stealing enabled are as follows.】

【Steel Storm】

【Fluidization】

【Self-defense – Stage 1】

From noble mtl dot com

‘Step 1 of self-defense.’

I didn’t pay attention to other skills.

Steel Tempest has a cooldown, so it is not suitable for strong fighters who fight in seconds.

As I just confirmed with Spotula, having a waiting time of about 2 seconds is the Steel Storm skill.

In terms of the assassin’s concept, where speed is essential, there is no time to spare for two seconds.

To be honest, Steel Storm was a skill for display, not a skill for combat.

I don’t know if I’m planning to shoot a steel storm like a wizard from the rear.

And fluidization was not attractive because the mechanism was almost similar to acceleration.

Of course, if you use it with acceleration, there will be synergy, but it is better to increase the efficiency of acceleration.

【Self-defense – Step 1】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】

【Passive skill. Upon activation, it takes 1 hour to reactivate.]

【Activate self-defense to neutralize an enemy’s attack once. However, selective neutralization is not possible】

【You can grow it in 2 stages by using red yolk.】

‘Anyway, if you get the timing right, you’ll absolutely avoid it once. It’s the most important skill for me.’

It was satisfactory enough.

Due to the nature of the Assassin class, it is very difficult to have the skills to protect yourself.

Even the basic skills that will be added later do not have skills related to defense.

Because the direction is opposite.

In that respect, the self-defense skills stolen from Sportula seemed worthwhile.

In addition, there is expandability that can be upgraded, so the value of use will increase infinitely.

Sportula didn’t drop anything that could be looted.

However, the experience point reward was very salty.

The level of experience, which was comparable to the very beginning of level 46, went up almost to the end at once.

In terms of numbers, it was 46.0 to 46.9. It’s almost like there’s no level up or progression.

“and! Do our hands and feet fit perfectly? Have you ever moved like this before?”

“no.”

“But you mean you use the aisle so neatly? To be honest, I was really worried about backups.”

“He opened the way so neatly, but if you don’t know how to use it, you have to return your hunter license.”

“The last attack that landed on the top of the head was a skill, right? It seemed like a weakness, but I didn’t expect to finish off the middle boss with one blow!”

“It’s all made by you. Thanks to that, it seems that we easily attacked.”

“What are you talking about! You made it into a perfect version because of your skills. If it was another hunter, it would have been an Asari version, right? I was a complete asshole!”

Ganghu consistently praised Yuri’s sense, but each time she changed the subject.

“Doesn’t the compliment look awkward?”

“… … Actually, yes.”

“Let’s get used to getting used to it.”

Depending on how you use your space-type abilities, your influence will be the difference between heaven and earth.

It could be treated as trash to the extent that the value of the skill’s existence is questionable.

It can also be a game changer that can dramatically turn an unfavorable battle.

The use of Jung Yu-ri’s space skill was completely the latter in that it flowed neatly without any superfluity.

With this level of skill, if not 100%, more than 90% could be trusted.

This is because the ability to utilize space can be fully utilized only when there is trust in team play.

If there is distrust, you will never see the effect. You’ll be worried every time you enter the aisle.

‘It’s fun.’

It was also interesting.

It seemed like this was the first time that we were purely admiring each other’s skills and not discussing interests.

It seemed like it was the first experience he’d had to face a battle without hesitation for the first time since waking up in this world.

It must be because his partner, Jung Yu-ri, is pure.

Ganghu thought so.

Because he considered himself to be a crow-like being, completely covered with black stains.

* * *

Ganghu was able to take level 47 without difficulty, catching small monsters in the middle with Jung Yu-ri.

The point of level 50, where you can get basic skills, was also on the way to visibility.

When you reach level 50, the next time you get a basic skill is level 100.

After 50, supply and demand for basic skills are cut off for the time being.

For that reason, the importance of stealing skills has grown.

If you don’t actively acquire skills from dungeons, it’s difficult to add skills by other means.

“But why is he doing that?”

Meanwhile, Jeong Yu-ri, who grasped the location and identity of the boss monster, tilted her head.

His name is Legant.

Legant, who had neither armor nor weapons, sat on his knees as if praying.

“If anyone can see that there are many gaps, it’s usually a trap.”

Ganghu stretched out his hand to stop Yu-Ri Jeong, who was about to step ahead.

Because it didn’t feel good.

Although it was located just enough distance to stop breathing with just a few leaps.

Because it seemed so easy.

Nothing is free in dungeon raiding.

at that time.

Kang-hoo moved closer to Jung-yuri and whispered in a low voice so only she could hear.

“Run away. back as far as possible.”

There was something to pinpoint.
