The Hunter System
Chapter 186 - The Gate of the Black Ring
Alvin did not directly rise from the dried grass that was his body base, wanting to take some time to rest for a while while healing skill removed the rest of Beelzebub's magic from within his blood and muscles.
Rimi, who was in the form of an avatar hunter, arrived nearby shortly afterwards with Beelzebub's head separated from his body, while the praying mantis carried Beelzebub's body and threw it near Alvin.
Alvin turned his head, looking at Beelzebub's headless body moving up and down rapidly, indicating that his heart was still beating.
“You want to finish him off, Rimi?” alvin said with a faint smile.
“Can I do it, sir?” Rimi who had a lot of grudges on the creature, asked back.
Alvin laughs.
“Of course. Isn't that your mission and Mina's?”
“Then I will do, sir,” said Rimi who then crouched beside Beelzebub's body.
Crack…!
The fingers of the avatar pierced through Beelzebub's breastbone before Rimi finally grabbed the still-beating heart, then crushed it.
Moments later, Rimi pulled back her bloodied avatar's hand and lifted it into the air, revealing a chunk of crystal the size of a table tennis ball that was flanked between the tip of her index finger and thumb.
Crashes…!
The blood-red crystal broke apart as Rimi pressed down on it firmly.
Red smoke emanating from the crystal flew around the body of Rimi's avatar, before being absorbed into his chest.
“You copied the skill?” alvin asked with both eyes wide.
“Ya, sir.”
“...Crazy.”
“Mina has programmed the skill imitator on me and I can copy any skill while in the hunter.” avatar
Alvin finally sat down.
“So, all this time you guys really cheated me?"
"...S-I don't understand what you mean, sir."
"All the skills I've got. Is the skill actually already in my body with you in my body?"
"..."
"Please answer that."
["But not with your Mana core."]
"so. Which means what I said was true, right?"
Rimi looked at Alvin from behind the eyes of the round avatar, scanning the man's emotions meticulously.
"Aren't you angry, sir?" rimi asked slowly, carefully.
"Huh? No. gabe. I have a wisdom that has grown tremendously after hanging out with Mina in the past year."
["Huh? Whatchu mean?"]
"Don't think about it."
["..."]
"So you guys put out those skills bit by bit? Though the skill is already in the program that is on Rimi, right?"
["The Skill doesn't exist. Rimi actually made it when you found the monster. Merely, the skill that entered into the Mana core was actually filtered and stored within the core of the Rimi Mana System,"]
["When you use it, Rimi activates the skill and you use that skill with your Mana energy."]
Alvin nodded slowly.
"So when Rimi left my body, all those skills went with her."
["Not all. Rimi left the ghost skill, airbender, healing and regeneration skill to you."]
"I know that. So, which core am I really dedicated to The Art Of Killing?"
["Yes. You can't use that skill without the practice of the daily, weekly, monthly and level quests you've been doing,"]
["And again, you need a huge amount of Mana energy to be able to use it. That's why you're allowed to use the System's skills for a while."]
"It's just worth it..."
["Huh?"]
"You always say that I'll know someday every time I ask you something important."
["...That's it."]
"But, sir... We do not actually intend to deceive you. And..."
Rimi stopped his sentence, turning briefly toward the red giant gate that suddenly rumbled as it began to collapse after its gate maker, Beelzebub, had perished.
The crystal gate was torn apart and the pieces fell to Earth like a crystal rain that twinkled in the reflection of the Sun's light during the day.
"And?"
"And now you've become famous all over the world."
"Huh? What connection?"
"Mina from this moment has opened the satellite channel that Mina we keyed in. The World Satellite Association has already taken the live broadcast that happened here."
"F! What'd he do it for?"
["So everyone knows you're there for them."]
["You'll easily build a business when you have a name."]
Alvin speechless. What Mina said was true. If the Dungeon were no longer around, he would be unemployed who could produce nothing.
There's no way he'll be a robber after this, right?
'Having a good name as a hero is not bad either. I can start a business with a good name at the beginning.'
The corner of Alvin's lips curved upwards.
"...Then why have you been hiding myself all this time? I should have been famous like Anna and her team."
["I'm afraid that if I'm in this age I'll catch you if it's not done. You'll definitely die if he finds you before you're as strong as you were yesterday."]
Alvin scrunched his forehead.
"But... I don't see it as if I'm going to do that. He's too sadistic, anyway... But he's teaching me."
Alvin could hear the sound of long breaths from Mina inside his head.
["I don't suspect it either."]
"Not suspect it?"
"Mina used to be a very cold person, sir. Before meeting with us, she was an uncompromising person," Rimi interjected, explaining what Mina's worries meant earlier.
"That's it..."
......................
Along with the death of Beelzebub, the last fallen angel from the white vortex, the small Dungeon gates left on Earth also disappeared along with the loss of the giant ring gate.
The entire world community now also knew that there were other hunters, other than the Anna they adored, who also had strength beyond the limits of normal high-ranking hunters.
The entire society that had previously been hiding inside the bunker was running out.
They celebrated the victory in the streets, in the mountains, in the forest, in the wilderness, and wherever near the bunker area was, after the World Association confirmed that the billions of red monsters that have spread on Earth have been successfully overcome by Anna and her team, also by Alvin and his army.
Cyntia also finally arrives where Alvin is after previously making a call to Sam who is in hiding.
He immediately ran, jumped and hugged Alvin, after seeing the tall man standing in front of him.
"You did it" said Cyntia slowly.
He had mixed emotions between joy and excitement in his heart.
The woman remembers that she was determined to protect Alvin upon his return to City S, but in fact Alvin was a powerful hunter who could even protect the world.
Alvin froze for a few moments. He felt a little surprised by the intent of the word 'successful.
"You too" said Alvin after a long time, after he saw Cyntia's condition seemed fine.
After the increase in the Mana energy capacity that Miyuki gave the woman, Cyntia looked extremely strong. He also did not look exhausted despite having fought for almost 36 hours.
Cyntia turned, looking at the hunter avatar who was walking with Alvin.
"So she's Rimi..."
"Hallo, Miss Maxwell."
Cyntia flinched in shock, hearing the mechanical voice of the young girl who shocked her.
"Can you talk?"
"Yes, miss Maxwell. I'm Rimi. It's good to be fighting with you."
"Me too" said Cyntia.
He remembered how Rimi and the insect army fought several hundred meters nearby and were always a short distance away from him.
Cyntia glanced at Alvin and a smile formed on her lips.
'So he asked Rimi to take care of me?'
"You can go to the bunker just now" Alvin said as their gazes met by chance.
"You're not coming?"
"I? I'm still waiting for someone."
Cyntia scrunched her eyebrows.
"Waiting someone? Anna?"
"Yes?"
The woman's lips suddenly shriveled. He did not see Anna's 'special' interest in Alvin. But he doesn't know otherwise.
"Why am I waiting for him?"
"Yes?"
'I'd forgotten. She wasn't there when Anna told me about the black gate.'
As Alvin was recalling the message of the goddess Ann that Anna had conveyed to him, a huge magic power appeared all of a sudden.
Together with that magic power, a shiny black crystal ring gate appeared in place of the crumbling red crystal gate, on the same path as where the previous red gate existed.
The size of the gate was also the same as the previous ring gate. His magic energy was just as terrifying. In fact, Alvin could feel that the gate this time had a magic aura that was much more gripping than the red gate.
"Gosh, I guess I still have a little time to relax for a few hours."
