The Hunter System
Chapter 30 - Boss Tutorial

Alvin finally moved again to the next location which was the last location of this Dungeon.

Upon arriving at the location of the boss, he immediately saw there were dozens of locust-sized monsters a sedan car that immediately looked at him simultaneously as if waiting for his arrival.

This time Alvin tried his new skill by summoning hundreds of mosquitoes from the magic portal.

There was something interesting he knew when all the mosquitoes started fighting against dozens of giant locusts.

Every time the mosquitoes injected their trunk into the body of the locust monster, Alvin could feel the mosquitoes sucking up the Mana energy of the monsters and sending that Mana energy to him, until where the point increases again after it was used to open the portal to the 'nest of mosquitoes'.

"It's like a recovery point, these mosquitoes are very useful!"

The sounds of the noisy flapping of mosquito wings can also bewitch the locusts which seem very clear immediately look dazed and attack without direction.

With the help of his mosquito magic, Alvin was finally able to easily finish off the dazed locusts with his spear.

Nevertheless, Alvin also saw that some of the mosquitoes that lost the fight began to fall and die.

“System. What about the dead mosquitoes? Can I bring it back to life?”

[“You can revive them but you only have three occasions. After they die again up to three times, they will be charred in flames and disappear.”]

“Then it would be a pity to use them if you have to face a stronger opponent.”

[“Their level will increase as your Mage job level increases. You don't have to worry about it.”]

“So..”.

.........

When all the locusts were killed, Alvin turned on 20 of them to replace 20 dead mosquitoes instead of reviving them.

Alvin thought, even if they live, they only have 3 more chances to be resurrected. Alvin wants a completely new army and has a chance of being turned on a lot more.

......................

Just a few minutes after Alvin finished putting the rest of the corpses of the locusts he had not turned on into the inventory, the place suddenly darkened.

Moments later, Rimi informs her that the exam tutorial for taking her new job is about to begin.

"Tutorials?"

There was another notice that made Alvin a bit nervous. That was when Rimi said that all skills related to magic attacks would be disabled. As a result, Alvin now only uses Warrior and Tank jobs to fight.

.........

Although the daytime sky inside the Dungeon darkened, Alvin could still see the presence of a monster figure that appeared out of nowhere above the sky there.

At first, he only saw a black dot in the distance. The longer, the black dot seemed to get bigger before it finally landed before him

"Worshippers..."

While still paying attention to his opponent, the praying mantis monster that had a body size as large as his body suddenly came forward to attack.

The grasshopper attacked directly towards Alvin's neck with one of his arms resembling a scythe.

Wusshhhhhhhhh…

Even though he could avoid it, Alvin could still feel the magic power from the attack grazing his armour-protected neck. He felt his neck ache a little and hot just because it was slammed into the magic energy.

"It's dangerous, if I get hit just this sick, I can't get hit by the attack at all."

The grasshopper continued to attack Alvin with both hands that resembled scythes. His attacks were so fast that Alvin had no chance to attack him.

But, Alvin used that opportunity as well to pay attention and learn how the locust moves.

["Your intuition is getting better. Keep focusing to learn the movement. Boss-type monsters always had a pattern in attacking. You just learn it.”]

The longer he struggled with the monster, the more Alvin realized that the short-range attacking pattern the monster was doing was to not give it any counter-attacking space.

Every time Alvin wanted to avenge the attack with his sword, the praying mantis had already given another attack until Alvin finally canceled his intention of attacking just to fend off the swift attack of the locust.

Cranks... Cranks...

“How to fight like an Assassin-type hunter, right? He used both of his sickle hands to attack without giving me the slightest pause to reply.”

[“You're right. Be careful and stay focused.”]

Alvin noticed the two legs of the grasshopper that had long strides. Both of his legs could also add throwing energy which made his attacks even faster and more directional.

There is almost no weakness that Alvin can find from his opponent.

‘It turns out having good fighting ability is indeed very necessary. How can I attack him?’

After learning the attacking pattern of the opponent, Alvin finally began to think of various ways to be able to counterattack his opponent.

He replaced his weapon with a long spear.

After Alvin used the weapon, the opponent's attack speed began to decrease.

With a long spear rod, Alvin could keep the range of the praying mantis that was expertly attacking at close range.

.........

Alvin could even start an attack.

He played a spearhead in front of the grasshopper and continued to point in which direction the grasshopper wanted to go.

But, the praying mantis was also looking for a way to avoid the spear eyes that always prevented him from getting close.

The grasshopper finally flew backwards, then tried to attack Alvin from the air. He circled around here and there very agile and attacked Alvin when Alvin was late to block his pace with a spear.

As a result of the locust's rapid attack after attacking him from the air, Alvin finally began to get injured on his back.

Slash…

The longer the praying mantis attacked from the air, Alvin ended up being overwhelmed and suffering many injuries.

"Damn it, the spear turned out to be difficult to use to block the attack from the air!" Alvin swears.

"Wait a minute..., if I can't use magic skills, it doesn't mean I can't use physical attacks from Mage jobs right?"

Realizing that, Alvin changed his job again into a Mage. He also replaced his weapon with a sword.

Then, Alvin gives the praying mantis a chance to get back closer and fight at close range like before.

As the monsters begin to perform melee attacks, Alvin uses his spider webs skill to snare the two legs of the praying mantis.

Alvin also began to point his net at both the opponent's hands and also his head.

Then, with a single lunge and a sword slash that used all of his physical attack power, Alvin slashed at the neck of the praying mantis.

Slashhh…!

It was the only attack Alvin could make during this fight. But the fatal attack immediately managed to kill his opponent.

“Yosh!” Alvin punched his hand into the air upon hearing the notification from Rimi that he was getting a 2-level rise at once.

“Now I'm level 52.”

Alvin frowned. Just this time Rimi asked me something unrelated to technical.

But, he was indeed willing to pick up the praying mantis' fighting technique. He also touched the body of the praying mantis to pick up his skill, but the System suddenly spoke.

[“You sure you want to pick up the fighting technique?”]

“What's the problem?”

[“You can turn it on and make it your follower.”]

“If I take his skill, can't I turn it on?”

[“You're right. Only one of two options you can take.”]

Alvin frowned. “Then, why did I have two choices when fighting mosquitoes?”

[“There were over 200 mosquitoes.”]

“Ah... k-you're right.” Alvin scratched his head and blushed.

[“Think about it correctly. You want to make him a follower or take his skill?”]

Alvin rubbed his chin. He knew the grasshopper was very agile in fighting. But only agility is his ability. Alvin then looked at his two legs and a pair of wings. If he wanted to move as good as a grasshopper, he might have to have the same legs, as well as the same pair of wings.

Alvin eventually chose to make him his only follower.

“Better I make him my follower,” said Alvin.

“Yes. Please replace one of the other grasshoppers with this praying mantis.”

After that, the praying mantis who had just lost its head got up. His head was reunited with his body. He then flew and entered the portal where the locusts were.

Alvin clapped his hands twice.

“Yeah, finally done too.”

[“Not finished.”]

“Hah?”

[“You didn't realize it?”]

Alvin reopened his quest window and saw that the second part of the quest was not finished, while the remaining time was only 30 minutes.

“Kill the Assassin? What quest is this? Isn't that praying mantis his Assassin?”

Alvin also saw 1 gift that he could not receive there. Which meant that it was definitely a reward as he completed his second quest.

“What quests the second part is not in this Dungeon?”

Just now Alvin asked, the situation around him that was already dark, had suddenly become pitch black.

Then, before him appeared the holographic figure of a teenage girl in a long black robe and her face covered with a hood while clasping a dagger in each hand.

Without giving time for Alvin to second-guess what the hologram was, the creature suddenly attacked him.

His movements are very fast. Alvin couldn't even see the attack coming at all.

Sraakkkk…!

"That's why...!"
