The Hunter System
Chapter 117 - Return
Outside the Dungeon.
The two higher-ups of the Association finally arrived in front of the gate 2 hours before the occurrence of Dungeon Break.
They were two hunters in their mid-40s who stopped by T City after a mission in U City, after the chairman of the Central Association asked them to look at the situation around the S rank gate.
The first Hunter was an S rank Warrior, a man of charismatic nature. While another hunter was an S rank Mage with a very eccentric appearance.
Although the two hunters came together, everyone who was there could see very clearly the disharmony of the two.
They look lazy to be close to each other, also seen staring at each other dislike when they happen to look at each other.
.........
“You're Mr Brown?” greet the charismatic-faced man to Lex, after they arrive before Lex Brown.
“True. Are you from the Central Association?"
“True. I'm Lowe Frostman. Nice to meet you, Mr. Brown,” said the man with a friendly smile.
"It's also fun to be..."
“What is this only hunter available?” roxel Wu asked, while looking at all of the City T hunters, who were also looking at him with dislike when they saw Roxel's look of disdain, as well as his way of cutting off Lex and Lowe's conversation.
Lex was already used to the arrogant and indifferent attitude of a high-ranking hunter, especially the hunter from the Central Association who usually was like that.
He ignored Roxel's irreverence and answered his question casually, “True. They are the best hunter-hunters we have, ” says Lex slowly.
"They're best? Gosh darn. End the city" said Roxel, shaking his head.
Roxel, still ungodly and even staring at Lex, approached his co-worker, Lowe.
“Honestly, there will be no hope to survive even just 10 minutes,” said Roxel after he measured the strength of all the hunters from the aura of magic he felt.
He spoke without worrying what he said could be heard by all the hunters who were there.
“If you want to go, just go. Don't use reason to blame others' abilities."
“Tsk... If it wasn't for the chairman, you thought I'd come?” Roxel instantly turned his body and walked over to the gate after speaking in a slightly harsh tone to Lowe.
Roxel stopped his footsteps when the phone in his pants pocket shook.
He immediately received the call when he found out who had contacted him.
"Chairman..," said Roxel slowly.
Although the person who contacted him was not in his presence, Roxel's attitude and manner of speaking instantly changed 180° when the Chairman of the Central Association spoke to him on the other side of the phone call.
Lowe glanced at Roxel with a faint cynical smile when he heard the familiar voice of the woman in his ear giving an order to Roxel.
"Yes, chief. I'll be right back."
After the connection was cut, Roxel again spoke to Lowe.
"The two are telling us to go back now" Roxel told Lowe. His haughty look had returned.
Lowe grunted softly. Turning his gaze at the gate, he refused the order.
"I'm staying here."
"You dare to oppose the chairman?"
Lowe smiled cynically. "I've always been against it. And again, we just arrived, right?"
Roxel remained silent for a few seconds, refraining from directly attacking his rival.
Lowe knew he was getting an angry look from Roxel even though he was not looking at him.
he left Roxel. Picked up his big suitcase and took out his combat set from there.
Roxel walked up to Lowe again and spoke with a growl at him, before finally leaving the location of the Dungeon gate.
"I hope you die here!"
"I'd rather die than meet you every day."
......................
Mina once said that the costume she was wearing was very strong and resistant to the heat of a burning fire or freezing ice. Even poison alone would not be able to enter through his costume.
But strangely enough, he could now feel an extremely intense heat from the magma that had sunk him, when it was an ordinary magma that contained no magic at all.
And again, after he remembered, it was very unnatural that he felt afraid of falling into the magma when he knew he should be able to survive in it
But the strangest thing, of all that he has experienced so far, are the words of surrender that Mina spoke just before she drowned.
She knew, Mina did not say such pessimistic words.
‘He also told me to wait? That's weird, right? This is not a hologram room so he couldn't possibly tell me to wait in a desperate state.’
Alvin was silent for a few seconds, waiting for Mina to respond to what she had just thought but she did not get it.
‘Sials. It's like an illusion world only.’
He recalled what he had gone through after meeting the first army of monsters until before he drowned.
He also realized that part of what happened was what he really wanted to experience in a Dungeon with Cyntia.
‘Sialang. Is this really an illusion of my own creation? Did anyone use illusion magic on me?'
Alvin then focused his mind.
He tried to call Mina, so that Mina could revive him. He was convinced that his mind was now under the hypnotic influence of the monsters.
‘Mina! Eject me!’
‘Mina! You hear me?!'
'Mina!'
‘Min..’.
Buaakkkk!
......................
Alvin fell face down very hard as Cyntia kicked him on the nape with a fairly hard spinning kick.
"Alvin! Be aware!" exclaim Cyntia while jumping backwards, avoiding the safest one jet-black monster that became one of the brackets.
He retreated further and further to lure the monsters away from Alvin, as he saw Alvin looking up and looking at him instead with a blank stare like before.
'He's conscious, right?'
It had been over 10 hours Cyntia had fought alone against the thousands of jet-black monsters that had attacked her brutally.
He did not have any trouble facing those S rank monsters, even he had already killed hundreds of them. But, Cyntia is quite having difficulty when it comes to facing Alvin who is also one of the brakers.
.........
["You're back. Take your dagger first and kill your hypnotist or you'll go back into the world of illusion."]
"Where is he?!" alvin asked in an angry tone as he got up from the ground quickly.
["On your left. The two-horned hunchbacked monster that stood alone."]
Alvin stared straight at the direction Mina said. He changed jobs to Assassin, took a dagger, then ran as fast as he could to directly attack the SS-ranked monster.
"You dickhead...!!!" sumpat Alvin, while directing both daggers to the body of a monster who was shocked by the speed of Alvin in attacking him.
Wush...
Crack... Crack... Crack...!
Not just two pricks. Alvin continued to attack and stab the hunchback monster very quickly and many times, using the puncture skill he combined with the lightning strike effect, two skills from his Assassin job.
His movements were very simple, but the speed he used was beyond the ability of monsters to be able to avoid even just to see the movements of his hands.
["Hey, already. His body is destroyed. He's dead."]
Alvin doesn't care about Mina's words. He continued to thrust the daggers in his hands at the body and head of the monster that was already enough to torment him in the illusionary world.
