The Hunter System
Chapter 29 - Insect Conqueror
Alvin didn't need much time to kill the Dungeon's boss.
The Lizardman who had a body height of 2 meters was even able to deliver only a few strikes before Alvin finally smashed his head in just 1 stab of his spear.
Alvin felt a little dizzy with Rimi's notification popping up and sounding in a row inside his head.
Therefore, he chose to open the quest window after finishing checking his status window which was now at level 50.
“The quest completion time is six hours. Do I have to open the gate now?”
[“Yes. You need to open it now.”]
“Can't I do it later after coming out of this Dungeon?”
[“Bos of the quest was pretty hard for you to deal with. You may take more than 4 hours to complete. And remember, I am not allowed to help you in the quest because it is also a kind of test for you. You have to fight alone."]
“I understand.”
Alvin finally activates the gate that will take him on the second part of the main quest.
However, before entering the gate, Alvin also left a message on the ground that he wrote with a spear if Raymond happened to look for it.
......................
Five insect monsters instantly attacked him when Alvin had just entered his Dungeon quest.
The five giant spiders immediately spread their webs to ensnare Alvin who fortunately already has a much better sense due to the increase in his status.
Alvin ran and rolled on the grass to take his time dying the opponent he faced.
Alvin who had already fought against spiders could know and understand their attack patterns.
Unlike when he met the monster for the first time, Alvin was now able to defeat them much more easily. It was also helped by his long spear range.
.........
“How to copy this spider skill?” alvin asked the System when he remembered he had the ability to copy skills from his hidden Mage skill.
[“You just have to hold the body and say ‘salin skill’.”]
Alvin then followed what the System said, and before him appeared the skill window he wanted to copy.
...▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎...
...Skill 1: Spider Web...
...Skill 2: Spider Poison...
...▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎...
“There are two?”
[“You can take both or can choose one.”]
“If I take poison skill from this spider, what poison skill I previously would have replaced automatically?”
[“No. The previous Poison skill was separate. But, this spider's poison skill is much weaker than what you have,"]
["Although this skill will later level up as your level increases, this poison skill will also remain much weaker than what you currently have."]
“I understand,” said Alvin who then touched the transparent screen in front of him to choose spider webs skill only.
Alvin could feel the itchiness on both of his palms as the skill formed within his body tissues.
He then tried to pull out the skill by making movements like the super hero he had seen, but the net did not come out at all.
The laughing system saw him and Alvin also laughed this time. He knew that the nets could be sent out through the tips of his ten fingers because he could feel the flow of magic energy there since copying the skill earlier.
[“You're really silly. What are you doing.”]
He then pointed one hand up the tree and knitted the spider web out of the tip of his five fingers. The nets were then cut off just like that. He had planned to use the net to hang.
The system doesn't care about it at all and instead laughs at the silliness that Alvin does. He just feels entertained by it.
Alvin was still trying to keep his net unbroken until he finally managed to find a way.
Alvin uses a net to hang from one tree to another to the location of the next monster.
[“You've lost 25% mana point because it went this way.”] System remind.
“I know. I'll stop when I'm near the monster's location and recover my point again.”
......................
Just like in the previous location, Alvin also met a giant spider monster in the second location.
Just like before, Alvin could finish off all the spiders without needing much time.
The new difficulty he got in the third location, the last location before the location of the Dungeon boss was located.
His opponent this time is hundreds of mosquitoes that have the same body size as a cat.
What makes Alvin very difficult is the sound of the mosquito wings are very noisy.
The noisy sound from the flapping of the wings also contained magic energy which made Alvin feel the entire land where he stood as if swaying. He also began to hallucinate.
Mosquito proboscis that continues to attack it is also very disturbing. The trunk that had the sharp end of the sword was indeed unable to penetrate the leather armor he was wearing, but each time the trunk attacked, the sting left a liquid attached to the armor and exploded a while later.
Seeing Alvin walking in circles without clear direction due to the hallucination he got from the flapping sound of mosquito wings, also occasionally bounced because the liquid that the mosquito left exploded in his body, the laughing system.
The mockery of the System makes Alvin pry. He ended up using the Mage job and using poison skills.
Just 3 minutes later, hundreds of mosquitoes that had been swarming around, fell and died entirely.
“If you're not allowed to help, at least don't laugh at me, ok?"
[“Well, it's like watching a show that really entertains me. You should have used poison skills from the beginning, hahahaha. You're silly!”]
“Didn't you ask me to train my fighting skills?”
[“Oh, sorry. I forgot to say that you can use all your skills freely in this Dungeon. Hahahaha..”].
‘Sials. He's working on me, right?’
.........
[“You don't want to use your qonqueror insect? You can make those spiders and these mosquitoes to be your followers.”]
Alvin smiles. He had planned it since then, but was not interested in making spiders as his followers.
Unlike the mosquitoes that seem to be very helpful if you have to deal with monsters that can fly. With these mosquitoes, he will be able to fight more easily both on land and in the air.
“Use insect qonqueror.”
Alvin saw hundreds of mosquitoes that had been charred after being exposed to his poison skill now come back to life with the condition of the skin that has returned to normal.
'This is so cool. There had never been a hunter who could make Dungeon monsters an ally?'
But unfortunately, there are still hundreds of mosquitoes left there that are not turned on because of the limited slots he has.
[“You can put the rest into inventory. Although these are C rank monsters but I need them to make your armor even better.”]
Alvin followed what System said and put all the mosquito corpses into his inventory.
“But what about these mosquitoes that are my followers? Can't I take them here and there when I'm not fighting?”
[“You just disabled your skill.”]
“Ah, so.. Disable insect qonqueror.”
After Alvin deactivates his skill, a magic portal suddenly appears nearby and all the mosquitoes fly in.
“What is a Dungeon gate?”
[“Sypes. But it's just a place to live for those mosquitoes. Each different type of insect will have their own habitat and gate.”]
