The Hunter System
Chapter 31 - The Resilient E Rank
Sratt... Srats... Sratt...!
In just the blink of an eye, Alvin had already suffered many gaping wounds on his body.
Not only did he feel the pain of those wounds. The incision from the dagger of the hologram creature that could pierce through his skin armor very easily, even leaving behind a magic energy that made it difficult for him to recuperate with his job Healer.
Because constantly exposed to the opponent's attack without being able to see the direction of the attack, Alvin finally changed his job to Tank and chose to stay afloat.
"System. Can't you give me a clue?" alvin asked with anxious feelings.
While he was talking alone, the hologram creature kept trying to penetrate the transparent shield of his Tank skill, self defense.
"You think for yourself" said the voice of a teenage girl who sounded very cute.
The voice was familiar to Alvin. It was the usual sound of the Hunter System within his mind, yet this time he heard the voice coming from before him.
With both eyes widened, Alvin stared at the holographic creature before him, who was standing quietly while twirling one of the daggers in his hand.
"You... Hunter Systems?"
"Yes. It's a test" said the hologram creature, which then disappeared again and appeared behind Alvin.
Crack... Crack...
The creature continued to slash at the transparent protector that wrapped Alvin's body inside.
"If you fail, you won't get your new job. Try it" said the hologram creature again. Although he spoke in a cute voice, his tone sounded very cold.
"So so..," Alvin murmured before he finally turned around and attacked the hologram creature that was still attacking from behind him.
......................
His opponent this time was truly like a ghost. Every time Alvin turned around and wanted to fight it off facing each other, the hologram creature had already vanished and was back attacking from behind him.
The creature slowly wants to destroy the transparent balloon that wraps around Alvin's body.
Alvin, who was worried about his protector, saw the status of his protective points that continued to decline due to the attacks. There was only a little more left before the protector was destroyed and he would receive the creature's attack directly with his body.
'Rimi is also inactive. I seem to have to think of a way to win from him.'
"Hey, I just want to tell you one thing. Use all the experience from your training all this time and use all the gear you have." Say the hologram creature, give a suggestion.
Alvin changed his job to Warrior again quickly. However, when he replaced it, the hologram creature that had been busy trying to destroy the protector, now began to hurt him again.
Sratt... Sratt... Sratt...!
Wush... Buaaq...!
Alvin bounces tumbling as the hologram creature kicks him.
Not getting there. The hologram creature instantly lunged and aimed the two daggers in each hand at Alvin who was still not balancing his body on that dark and cold floor.
Fortunately, Alvin had seen the creature while still in the air. He also slashed his sword at the creature, but his opponent avoided it very easily by circling in the air.
The hologram creature only landed briefly on the floor and then again attacked Alvin who had just sat down crouched down, getting up from the floor.
Crangg... Crannggg...
Despite successfully fending off his attacks, Alvin remains repulsed by the opponent's magic energy derived from the power of his dagger.
'Crazy ones. He is much stronger than Miranda!'
"Hey. What is your current rating... Ughhh...!"
As Alvin spoke, the creature managed to knock his dagger on Alvin's stomach.
"This is the E rank Assassin mode. Don't talk. Think fast and find a way to beat me." Said the hologram creature, alvin warned.
"Rank E?! Ugh..."
'Damn 'Damn. I can't let my guard down a little bit...'
Sratt... Sratt... Buaaq...!
While rolling from the bounce, Alvin took his long spear. At first glance he saw how to fight an opponent who was very similar to the praying mantis earlier.
'So the boss tutorial right? Means the fighting style of the praying mantis earlier is a clue to defeating this Hunter System.'
But, the dexterity of the praying mantis was very different from that of a hologram creature.
Alvin does know the pattern of his attacks and can keep his distance with his spear. But, even though the creature had no wings and could not possibly fly to overcome the weakness of its spear technique that was inferior to air attacks, it was impossible to fly, but the creature can twitch very easily and push forward to avoid long spear attacks.
Sratt... Zsobab...!
After Alvin bounced again, this time the hologram creature did not directly attack him.
"Consentrasilah. You should have died earlier if I used D rank ability."
"D-damn it... How can I concentrate if it's attacked endlessly?!"
"You can. I don't blame you because you've never met a really tough opponent other than the praying mantis. You also haven't had experience in many fights."
Alvin didn't respond. He just stared blankly at the hologram creature.
"You know what?"
"..."
"If your opponent is strong, don't let him return his mana points. Use that opportunity to attack."
"What do you mean?"
"I invite you to talk to replenish the mana point and restore my stamina that has been drained. You're ignorant. Hahaha..."
Wusshhhhhc... Buaaackkk...
Finished speaking, the hologram creature shot back and attacked Alvin again as he was still digesting what the creature was saying.
"You're breng..."
Bukkk...!
"That's why...!"
"Haha... Oh, this is so much fun..."
Wush... Wusshhhhhhhhh... Srats... Baaakk...!
Feeling angry from being played, Alvin instead lost his concentration until he became months of successive attacks opponents.
Alvin was almost desperate when he had used the poison skill, but the opponent who already knew the weakness of the skill was completely unwilling to approach the location of the poisonous smoke.
Alvin had also fired poison skills here and there, but the hologram creature continued to go away until he himself almost ran out of mana point.
The spider webs are completely useless. The creature could read the direction of his hand movements and dodge even before the net he shot out.
.........
Using poison skills on opponents is even a bad choice. While he continued to use the skill and ran out of mana points, the opponent who went dodging and silent instead saved his mana point.
But, Alvin also still has a slight advantage. Because the creature did not dare to approach its poisonous fumes, Alvin was finally able to think calmly in his own smoke, recalling the tricks of the training he had learned for almost 1 month.
"There should be a way. There's no way I'm getting to level 52 and he's only using the E rank Assassin mode if there's no point. Everything was made certain so that I could find a trick to defeat him." Oceh Alvin from the smoke.
"You're right. Tricks are also needed in combat. You must be able to combine skills and tricks well. Let's get rid of this smoke and fight again." A hologram from a distance.
'Damn it! He must have lived as a bully, right?'
Alvin finally retrieves another weapon from inside the inventory window and begins to advance. This time he used all the things he already had to attack the hologram creature.
He also did not have much time left because his quest would end in 5 minutes.
"Qonqueror insect!"
