The Hunter System
Chapter 114 - Learning How to Sort Magic
“Tia, don't move much.”
“Ya?”
"You're exposed to a deadly poison."
"Poisons?" Both of Cyntia's eyes widened, looking at Alvin with a nervous feeling.
Alvin immediately changed jobs and used healing skills to remove toxins in Cyntia's body.
“They're blood is toxic. Your face is not covered by a helmet. The poison is coming in from the pores of your skin that were exposed to the splashes of their blood" Alvin said as he cast his healing magic on Cyntia.
But he immediately stopped his magic when he was confused how to remove the poison that had circulated widely to muscle tissue and nerve function. This is different from the poison that goes from muscle tissue to blood cells.
Glup...
'I haven't learned this.'
Just as Alvin finished explaining, Cyntia had already begun to feel the effects of the poison working in her body. His sight began to blur. Slowly, he began not to feel his body anymore. Because of that both of his legs, which began not to be felt, lost their strength and he finally fell in the arms of Alvin who swiftly caught him.
[“It's a good thing he has a large Mana energy capacity that has since been trying to resist poison. Otherwise he would have instantly died once splashed with the monster's blood. That monster poison is completely insane!"]
Alvin laid Cyntia in the sand and continued the process of removing toxins from the woman's body, from her blood cells and muscle tissue.
Black smoke began to leak out from the pores of Cyntia's facial skin as Alvin continued to drain her healing skill.
[“I'll take over your hand.”]
‘Ya?’
Mina immediately took control of Alvin's two hands before Alvin gave permission.
Quickly, Mina unzipped Cyntia's costume and removed the costume to half her body, then sat the woman down.
Mina then stabbed her finger at some of the acupoints of Cyntia's body and hand which then left a scar. Black smoke poured out very quickly from the marks.
[“Moving to the back of his body. Fast!”]
Alvin immediately stood up and moved behind Cyntia.
Mina scratched Alvin's finger on the woman's spine from the nape to the tailbone.
Thick black smoke also flowed out from there, from the incision marks Mina gave.
Mina channeled the healing skills from Alvin's hands into Cyntia's body. From the way Mina did the process of removing the poison, Alvin could sense Mina's different ways of flowing Mana energy.
From the flowing magic, he could feel the way that Mina used in channeling the healing skill just to remove the poison without closing the incision wound she made.
‘So here's how to sort out the energy flow of Mana.’
[“Upload this extra lesson. You can also use this method on all job.”]
‘So I can kill one person even if that person is hiding in the crowd this way?’
[“Of course.”]
‘Thank you.’
["The venom does not interfere with the heart at all. Weird, right?"]
'Huh?'
["The monster wanted to take over his body without killing. It's more terrifying than hypnosis. If it wasn't an expert healer, there wouldn't be anyone who could cure it."]
'Healer expert? So the technique has been programmed to you as well?'
["..."]
'Mina?'
["Awhile. There's something I'm discussing with Rimi about this strange monster that never existed."]
'B-please...'
[“Tsk... just interrupt.”]
‘Ya?’
[“They move.”]
Alvin turned to the hundreds of monsters behind him and sure enough, they now started moving and coming towards him.
“Insect conqueror.”
All the insects came out from inside the magic portal after Alvin activated his skill.
Actually, those monsters were not hard to defeat. While the grasshopper army formed a circle to prevent the monster army from approaching Alvin, the praying mantis could finish them all off one by one until it was left unresponsive, with almost no resistance.
The problem is that the monsters can fuse and come back to life every time the praying mantis decapitates their bodies.
.........
‘Mina..., you are this... were you human? Or were you a system from the beginning?’
[“Why are you asking that?”]
‘If you're human, you're really terrible. You can even feel their movement ahead of me.’
[“You'll get to that stage later.”]
Cyntia suddenly coughed and spewed out a jet-black stone from her mouth.
The stone was all the poison that had already circulated in his blood and had collected Mina at one point before taking it out.
After not feeling any more poison on Cyntia's body, Mina covered all the stab wounds and incisions she had made, leaving no scars at all.
[“It's done. Take that black ball and throw it in the inventory. Rimi will do a trial on the poison.”]
‘Thank you, Mina.’
["Thank you for your costume. Otherwise you'll also be poisoned."]
'Thank you for the costume.'
["..."]
Alvin then stood up, took the very dense black sphere off the ground, then threw it into the inventory.
......................
“You have recovered,” Alvin said after seeing Cyntia open her eyes. But he immediately turned his face away, feeling bad because he had accidentally seen his body.
Cyntia sat up straight and put her costume back on when she realized she wasn't wearing anything on her upper body.
[“I've made him a special helmet. Download in inventory.” window]
‘Do you actually make the equipment very quickly?’
[“No for a costume as good as yours. The poison couldn't even penetrate his costume.”]
'But, isn't the helmet yet?'
["I worked on it from last night."]
‘...You've been working hard. Thank you.’
[“…”]
Alvin stared at the lich leather mask that was flexible like rubber while nodding softly. There are only silver-colored eyes on the face of the mask that are entirely dark-pink in color. There was no mouth shape and anything else on that mask.
‘This is cool.’
[“Tsk... Of course.”]
Alvin handed the mask to Cyntia.
“Wear this mask. It will protect you from poison,” Alvin said as he gave the rubber mask to Cyntia.
Cyntia directly grabbed the mask as she felt it was a coincidence that something could cover her flushed face.
He immediately put on the mask and his appearance is now a little similar to Alvin in full costume.
The only difference is that the entire Alvin costume is made of iron while the Cyntia costume is made of lich leather which is very flexible like rubber.
‘The problem is now how to kill them.’
[“You'd better get back near the gate. Soon is the time the gate-locking magic opens.”]
Knowing that, Alvin immediately opened the map of the Dungeon to see the time left until the magic of locking the gate would disappear.
“Come back to near gate.”
“What time has come?”
“There's still 30 minutes left. Let's run as fast as we can.”
After an army of insects took out the jet-black monster for the umpteenth time, Alvin saved all his bugs and went to the gate.
