NOVEL NEXT Episode 31
: A preview of the hero skill assassination that specifies a single target and gives it a ‘mark of death’. As its name suggests, it was by no means a skill geared towards dealing with multiple enemies.
At the same time, it was a skill that boasted performance unrivaled by anything else in confronting a single target
.
《Keyword Description: Mark of Death》
. When fighting with a target that possesses the keyword, the attack power, accuracy correction, Dex and evasion correction increase by +500 each
. Grants the buff ‘Assassin’s Mindset’ to the keyword granter
. An additional strengthening effect is activated each time an assassination attribute skill is used on the target
. For targets with this keyword, their attack power, accuracy correction, Dex and evasion correction are each reduced by -50Q
. Description of the debuff ‘Weakness Exposure’ that grants 5 stacks
. In ancient times, there was a secret assassin organization that served the ‘Mother of Death'. They never killed for ideology or self-interest, nor did they receive requests. They only carried out their missions when the ‘Mother of Death' gave them an oracle. The mark of death was proof of that oracle.
It provides various stat boosts and buffs to the skill user, and stat reductions and debuffs to the target.
“Even Blackman was curious.”
— Why am I curious?
At that moment, on the sea of shadows, which had become a sea of blood, Kamangi opened his mouth.
“Hey!”
At those words, the bastard fell down again, hitting his butt, and his movements were extremely comical.
“Stand up straight, you idiot.”
“My body...
At the same time as he said that, Yoosung snapped his fingers. Golden and jet-black blades rose again from the sea of shadows.
A shadow blade that has been reborn as a 2-star through assassination synergy and skill synthesis.
In addition, there is an additional strengthening effect of ‘death notice' that is given when attacking the target.
What was sticking out from under the maniac's feet was not a single blade or skewer.
It was a thorny hell.
An immeasurable number of shadow blades rose up all at once and shot as if to surround the bastard. Right in front of his vital spot.
A black sword (Ml) that is thicker and darker than any blade that Yooseong has raised in the shadows so far, and is scattering jet-black razors.
The ‘Assassin's Mindset' buff and debuff ‘Weakness Exposure' attached to the assassination notice stack 5 times. As the two things came together, I felt an intangible air current flowing through every part of the maniac's body.
It was a road leading to slaughter.
Where should I target the enemy's weak points to most reliably and efficiently kill him? The path closest to the correct answer to kill the opponent. It would be enough to plunge the tip of the sword along that very sword path. It
wasn't even just one. Countless paths were pointing to the path of the blade that the shooting star was supposed to take, as if it were alive and breathing. Among the
hero-level skills , is a skill that has incomparable value to anything in one-on-one combat.
That was the true power of ‘Assassination Premonition.’
“Hi!”
Immediately after, Yooseong’s flesh and bones melted into the shadows beneath his feet.
After melting, a shadow rose up behind the maniac's back, forming a human silhouette.
“Where are you looking?'”
Yoosung opened his mouth as he withdrew his shadow blade, and the maniac quickly looked back.
However, immediately after, Yoosung's flesh and bones were once again in the shadow. It melted into
《Shadow Step》
- Attribute . Darkness
- Grade. Rare
- Ability
. You can move freely by specifying a shadow within a certain area. (Cooldown lm)
. Dark synergy strengthening effect: When cooldown is exceeded, the maximum Can be stacked up to 3 times
. ‘Good.'
Unlike other skills, it has a cooldown. It cannot be used without restrictions. However, even this can be alleviated to some extent when used with dark synergy. ‘Let's see now
. The remaining skill can cause the disease of the dead.'
After taking a quick glance, Yoosung stretched out his arm.
Kwajik, kwajik!
There was a sound of something being twisted. It was the sound of the bones in the body being twisted. All
the elements of a living thing necessary for survival, including internal organs. It was the sound of the body being excluded and being rebuilt solely for battle.
Causing the disease of the dead As its name suggests, what the shooting star caused was not the dead, but soldiers of the dead.
All parts of the body were torn and bones protruded. It was the rice armor that protected the body, but at the same time. As a blade to cut through enemies.
‘Customization is a bit difficult because the aptitude for necromancy is low.’
In addition, there were functions that could revive the dead and add various things, but it does not move as intended. This is because the aptitude for necromancy is low. I
hand the skill card . It is not the end just because you put it in. Even if it is the same skill, it has the performance of heaven and earth depending on the user's aptitude.
I inadvertently thought of the German gravekeeper who appeared like a comet in the Wasteland of the Dead season and became a top player.
The result of the Plague Lord season is also the result of winning the final battle with him in the tower.
If he had lost there, just like Geomju did, even Yoosung would have been helplessly deprived of his first place position.
Apostle tomb keeper of the Undead Lord.
I remembered his true self in the tower, which no one in the outside world knew about.
After thinking about it, I muttered calmly.
“...What am I doing now?”
After saying that, Yoosung muttered. I just turned my head. There was a man there, trembling with fear.
“Actually, the reason why you’re acting like such a bastard is because there are dark circumstances that ordinary people cannot understand.”
“So, how long do you think it will take for me to be so mean to you and then later teach you a good lesson to rehabilitate you and see good results for both of us?”
“Well...
“The correct answer is ‘there is no answer’, you idiot who has no answer.”
Saying that, Yoosung stretched out his arms. Before I knew it, the frost sword in my hand was swung. Blood splattered.
But no one died. Because players cannot kill players in the tower.
“Let’s go, kamang.”
After a single sword strike, Yoosung climbed the tower without hesitation. With the soldiers of the dead following him.
［Cleared the Butcher's Butcher Shop...］
Immediately after conquering the tier 4 tower, I came outside.
There was no time to feel pain.] There was a maniac looking around without even realizing that he was dead.
“What are the rewards and experience points for conquering my tower...?”
“All four buses are dead. “Let me express my regrets.”
Saying that, Yoosung turned his back calmly.
“From now on, I have to stop the plots of communists, imperialists, military companies, and Nazi psychos and protect the world.”
“Wait! You promised! “He’s going to train me around the tower today!”
“You should have come out at the right time.”
Yooseong continued, dumbfounded.
“My brother, who is good at soccer, also no-showed and was kicked out of our family register, so what are you saying for no-showing?”
“you you...! Do you think you can get away with one of your players doing this to Ohsung Group’s son
?”
“what?”
Just then, Yoosung turned his head.
“Do you think you’ll be safe? That's right, you're safe. Is there any reason why I can't be safe? “Why would you send an assassin?”
“Oh, no, that’s it…
Immediately after, the bloody voice made the bastard flop down on the spot.
Not long after that, dozens of calls were made to Yoo Seong's cell phone in the name of the association's president, Lee Seong-ho.
Even so, I would never have thought that the Ohsung Group's self-control could be treated so ruthlessly. However, there were already too many enemies in the world of Yoosung to be shaken by the threat of just one large company.
In the tower, incomprehensible players are becoming stronger to achieve their own goals and beliefs.
It was as if he had been waiting for this opportunity from the beginning, not caring even in the face of the world's crisis of destruction.
As Yoosung, he had no particularly plausible beliefs or thoughts. There was no purpose to be achieved.
Just being there was enough.
As the #1 ranked player.
It could act as a deterrent in itself and disrupt the plans of villains who were full of action, and that was all.
And that's what happened when Yooseong was heading towards the 7th tier tower.
A notice delivered
to everyone in the world without exception .
[New update for season ‘Endless Labyrinth': The labyrinth race begins...]
[999 labyrinths are waiting for players. Defeat the labyrinth, win, and get your reward!]
[Maze Runners are summoned to random players from all over the world!]
[The Clown Lord exerts a powerful influence on the rules of the tower. .]
[Congratulations on being selected as a labyrinth runner! From now on, we will move to Labyrinth No. 999...]
“Ah, mother...
Before Yoosung had time to mutter something, his body crumbled into powder.
When Yoosung regained consciousness and quickly stood up, he found himself in a pure white room.
Five players, including Yoosung, were there.
Group A.
I looked around and saw letters written on the pure white wall. It probably refers to the group of players here.
Over the course of six seasons, each season the world of the Tower always offers new forms of threats and tests.
‘I'm going to go back.'
Then, one by one, the players stood up, and there was a face that Yoosung was familiar with.
“W Where am I?”
“It’s a labyrinth race…
The idiot said and the players looked around at each other’s faces while muttering. And there was a face they could never forget.
“Hero King! “He is the King of Heroes!”
“Look at this, it says Group A! Ah, it looks like you can clear it cooperatively!”
“I survived because I was on the same team as the King of Heroes!”
“Oh my, you like the team.”
The players mumbled that they were alive, and Yooseong tilted his head upon hearing that.
“Please, please, don’t grab my ankle. Even if you die here, it’s none of my business and I’m not responsible for it.”
After saying that, he immediately turned his head. A moment of silence fell among the players.
“Okay then, let me introduce myself first! My name is Seongho Park. At player level 20, the monarch...
“Stop.”
Before one of the men could speak, Yoosung spoke out.
“Are you crazy? Why do you reveal your level and the monarch’s name in front of people you’ve never met?”
“Well, let’s work together…
“From now on, I will tell everyone how to behave. “I remember three things.”
Yoosung interrupted the conversation and let out a cold sigh.
“Don’t get too close, don’t trust others, and take care of your own life.”
Kuung
[Let the race begin now.]
[Entering the jungle of human hunters...]
It was at the same time that the pure white room was twisted and the entrance to the labyrinth was opened.
It was a jungle full of old trees.
