The Hunter System
Chapter 136 - The Infected Hunters
Lowe and the raid members finally arrived at one of the gates of that S rank Dungeon.
He immediately approached the gatekeeper who about 10 minutes ago contacted him while he was still on his way.
"Who's going in there?" lowe asked the officer.
"S-I don't know, sir. But.., he's a little shabby and shabby."
"Yes?"
Uncompleted Lowe asked, the person whose guard was referring to suddenly walked out of the gate.
Lowe, Sam and Brooklyn stared at the disheveled slender-haired man.
Although his appearance was very shabby with his clothes torn here and there, of course Sam and Brooklyn could still recognize him.
"Alvin?!"
Alvin shifted his gaze from the transparent map before him to Sam who had just mentioned his name.
Alvin nodded slowly. His face looked uninspired.
Alvin then looked at Lowe and spoke to him, "I'll take care of all the S-ranked Dungeons" Alvin said.
Lowe. He then turned to Sam who was standing next to Alvin.
"Do you need our help?" ask Lowe.
"I'll do it myself. I go first" said Alvin, who passed Lowe without waiting for his response.
"Alvin...., what about this gate?"
"Stay waiting for the gate to close. I'm going to another location now" said Alvin before he vanished from before them.
Lowe and Sam are not surprised to see Alvin suddenly vanish from their sight. They already knew that Alvin had some kind of stealth skill. But not with other hunters. They were of course shocked when Alvin suddenly disappeared from before them.
"Where is he?!"
.........
Lowe picked up his phone to contact the gatekeeper at another location. He wanted to ask the guards not to make things difficult for Alvin like the guards at this location had done to contact him.
《"Pak?"》
"Yes. I just want to tell you if there is a disheveled-haired hunter who will come to raid alone. Please allow it."
《"B-so..."》
"...What's up?"
《"He just got inside the gate sir,"》sahut the man.
"Yes?!"
《"She's already in."》
Lowe kept the phone away from his ear, then closed the call.
He looked at Sam.
"Can he teleport?"
"Yes?"
"He was there before I called."
"...You serious?!"
......................
Upon arriving inside the Dungeon, Alvin immediately went to the location where the Dungeon boss was without having to finish off the other monsters first.
The three-horned jet-black creature was shocked when Alvin suddenly appeared before him.
Closing his eyes, Alvin concentrated on sensing the existence of monsters throughout the Dungeon, as well as the existence of his magic crystals.
Then, all of the Mana energy, be it from the monster Mana core as well as those from magic crystals throughout the Dungeon, were drawn out from their bodies and wajuds, respectively, it flew towards Alvin before it was absorbed into his body.
The Dungeon Boss and the two companions who were about to attack, suddenly fell down when their Mana cores left their bodies just like that. The bodies of the monsters dried up before finally dying leaving only bones and skin.
Alvin performs core absorption of Mana for several minutes. Afterwards, he exited the Dungeon, to go to the third location.
...****************...
Alvin had just exited the gate of the S rank Dungeon in the third location and made all the hunters that were in front of the gate speechless, but they were not too surprised like the hunters who were in the first and second locations.
Unlike the hunters at the first and second gates who were in disbelief if Alvin could complete the raid in an S rank Dungeon in just 10 minutes, the Hunter-hunter Association at the third gate only stared at him in silence while watching the clocks on their respective phones.
After getting word from their colleagues that Alvin really did a raid in just 10 minutes, they just have to prove the words of his colleagues.
What their colleagues say is not a lie. Alvin had even completed the raid before the journalists arrived at the gate location.
Alvin's speed in conducting the raid even made all the journalists angry at the Asosasi which they considered to have been deceptive because such a thing was very unreasonable.
"You're working on us, Mr Frostman?!" a journalist willing to leave his dinner so that he can arrive quickly at the gate.
"What am I doing it for?" said Lowe who had been fed up with being asked that question since. However, Lowe was not angry at the journalist. He responded patiently.
'Well..., who would believe that?'
"It could be that you want to find a sensation that the public thinks you're better than your Southern rivals after we wrote about the prowess of the Hunters of the North, right?" said another journalist.
Lowe let out a long sigh, then smiled at the person who had just spoken.
"You can write anything and I don't care what you write. And again, it wasn't me who invited you all here, was it?" Lowe then looked behind him, at the Association Hunters guarding the gate, "You can charge back your money from the informants you all placed between us."
Loman smiled again while the journalists were silent as they stared at each other awkwardly.
Lowe continued, "I'll excuse you. There are still a lot of A-ranked Dungeons that we have to deal with today" Lowe said.
He then went from that place with his team to conduct a raid on the A-rank gates which were scheduled to open the gate locking magic within 2-3 days.
......................
After finishing off the monsters, the magic crystals and moving all their corpses to the inventory, Alvin went to the rooftop of the Association building.
He stood there silently gazing towards the South, where he saw that there were many red dots on his friendship map.
The red dots were not the dim red dots that indicated they were a human Rimi had marked as an enemy.
Those were bright red dots that were usually used as a sign for monsters.
"Are these the ones you mean?"
["Yes. They've infected humans."]
"When he was only left for 1 month and they were this many."
["Before we went into this age, they had already infected 90% of the Earth's living population."]
"I won't let that happen as long as I'm alive."
["But you better wait until they're all together. They'll probably hide if they find out you're hunting the group."]
"Yes." Yeah."
["Just wait somewhere while Rimi filters out the Mana cores of the monsters you just absorbed."]
Alvin nodded slowly. He then went to the edge of the building and sat there staring in the direction where hundreds of red dots were.
He sat there until dawn, and he finally left.
