The Hunter System
Chapter 54 - 5 Hunter Jobs (7)

As Alvin was sprawled from the pain he felt from within his body, he heard the Dungeon boss as if he was talking to two high orcs beside him.

From his tone of speech, that Dungeon boss sounded extremely furious.

'Is he talking? Is he angry?'

["He was not angry. Orcs speak like human beings when they are angry."]

'... How do you know?'

["I understand their language."]

'Huh?!'

'Why didn't you guys just give this ability away?!'

["Because of your opponents all this time no one has been able to speak. Who do you want to talk to? A grasshopper? A mosquito? A spider? The bees? Centipede? A wolf?"]

'You're right.'

'...' ["..."]

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

《"It's been quite a tinker. Release me,"》command the Dungeon's boss on one of the escort's high orcs.

《"Will I do, sir"》sahut one of the high orcs.

Alvin turned his head back, seeing one of the high orcs descend from the throne. He was a high orc Mage, who had now walked over to the Dungeon boss.

'Sound... Why is he still okay?'

["Take the time. Keep him busy. The reaction would be faster if he moved a lot or used Mana energy."]

'Yes.'

As the high orc walked past him, Alvin stood up abruptly, intending to hit the high orc that had the voodoo skill. However, his attack could not penetrate his opponent.

Crannkk...!

Both of Alvin's eyes widened as he saw a thick shield formed from clumps of black smoke suddenly appear around his opponent's body.

He then looked back again and saw a high orc type Healer smiling widely from the top of his throne.

'Healer can make shield ju...'

"Thanks...!"

Alvin fell back down as he felt pain in both legs. The High orc Mage had just stuck a bone peg on the puppet in his hand again.

《"Damn. Just make a surprise!"》the Ompat high orc Mage who looked furious.

'This asshole...!'

["Please be patient."]

'Tsk... Talking is easy. If you're in my position...'

["Make yourself dying. I'll finish off these three ugly creatures in 1 second."]

'... You get angry easily.'

["... Just give it time."]

'Yes... Yeah...'

Alvin is back. This time he used the fire tongue skill to attack the high orc Mage back. And as he had expected, the creature immediately thrust its stake again into the puppet.

This time, while enduring the pain within his body, Alvin changed the direction of the attack. He sent spider snares to the high orc Healer still on the throne.

But the same thing repeated. He again fell to his knees as the high orc Mage thrust a peg into the legs of the doll.

Seeing the opponent grimacing in helpless pain, the three high orcs laughed mockingly at him almost simultaneously

《"Indeed it's great to be in war territory. We can play around with extremely weak outer creatures,"》ucap Dungeon boss while smashing the ice that freezes the waist down. 《"Let's help me destroy this ice-ice. This magic is a little troublesome."》

《"Yes, sir."》

The High orc Mage walked over again to the Dungeon boss, ignoring Alvin who was rolling on the cave floor while grimacing in pain.

When the high orc Mage was already behind him, Alvin suddenly stood back up and attacked the high orc Mage who was off guard.

He snared the hand holding the puppet with his net, then pulled the high orc arm very firmly.

But, a high orc Mage had quite good physical strength. Although initially surprised and interested, he immediately pulled back his arm and moved back to stick at the doll.

Alvin of course didn't let the monster torture him anymore. He precedes the creature and shoots fire-tongue magic into the hand that holds the peg to prevent the high orc Mage from thrusting the peg into his doll.

《"Hey what are you doing?! Protect me!"》the sumpat high orc Mage on the high orc Healer whom he considered very slow gave him protective magic again.

High orc Mage finally turned to his friend who somehow did not send him protective magic even though he was very desperate.

It was then that he learned that the high orc Healer was being preoccupied by the dozens of mosquitoes and praying mantises that Alvin had sent to him secretly as he pretended to grimace in pain earlier.

《"Where did those creatures come from?!"》

Blassshhh...!

Out of guard, the high orc Mage ended up being hit by an ice magic attack. Successful in the attack, Alvin then quickly jumped up and grabbed the doll in the hands of the opponent, then threw the doll into the ceiling of the cave and attached it there with his net.

Alvin wants to attack the high orc Mage again. But, he suddenly felt a powerful magic aura approaching him from behind.

["Leave it. Consider it an investment."]

'Speaking is easy!'

"That's why...!"

The Dungeon Boss who had managed to escape the ice trap, immediately attacked Alvin who was off guard and he managed to blow his dagger at Alvin's waist.

He then turned Alvin's body and threw his dagger again into the man's stomach until it penetrated into his waist.

After seeing Alvin fall sprawled and return grimacing in pain, he then kicked Alvin's body to fly away until finally hit the cave wall.

The Dungeon Boss then approached the high orc witch and released all the net snares and shattered the ice that froze her body.

《"You've been playing around too long!"》as the Dungeon boss.

《"M-sorry, sir.."》

《"Tsk... Never mind..!"》

After freeing his subordinates, the monster stared at Alvin again and was about to leave to chop off his neck. However, the yelling of someone from behind made him cancel that intention.

“Alvin..!”

Seeing that Alvin was already helpless, Ivory tried to release the entanglement of the spider web on his body. But the snare was so strong that he finally could do nothing to help.

It's not just Ivory. Another hunter finally attempted to untie the net that had attached their bodies to the cave wall as the laughing Dungeon boss walked up to them.

The creature's laughter grew louder as he saw fear on the faces of the hunters. He then looked towards one of the hunters who looked the most frightened and then scratched the hunter's stomach with his dagger.

Edmund grimaced with the pain as the dagger split his stomach. He wanted to scream but he was also afraid that the monster did not like his screams and could have killed him immediately.

The monster then grabbed one of the hunters with the intention of wanting to decapitate it. However, just as the Dungeon boss was about to chop off the hunter's head, he was suddenly startled by the sound of an extremely bitter agonizing scream from behind him.

He was shocked when he saw the high orc Mage floundering in the middle of the cave with his blackened face.

《“What happened?”》

《“Tsk... Waiting for poison to work on a monster that is almost ranked S turns out to take a long time,”》ucap Alvin while trying to get up from the cave floor.

《“A-what..?"》

《"She's already taken my highly toxic blood. I was just playing around waiting for the poison to come..ak..si.."》.

Alvin suddenly fell silent.

He looked at the Dungeon boss in confusion.

He then turned his gaze to look at the hunter-hunter's reaction that was still attached to the wall, which was now watching him with a dazed look.

'Do I speak their language?'

["Yes."]

As Alvin and the Dungeon boss were still confused with Alvin who could speak in orc language, the cave that was previously brightly lit due to the magic from the high orc Mage suddenly went pitch black.

《"A-what happened? Is there a power outage?"》

["You fool!"]

《"Ah.. begit... Whoa...!!!"》

Just as the System had just given Alvin both eyes a night vision, the cave suddenly came back bright as the Dungeon boss used his magic to light up the entire room.

《"Damn it, my eyes could be broken. You bastard!"》

《"How can you speak our language?”》ask the Dungeon boss who doesn't care about Alvin's curse.

He was also more interested in it and did not even care for his loyal followers who had died of poisoning while others were also almost killed by mosquitoes and praying mantis.

Alvin smiled stiffly. He ignored the question but he also asked the same thing to the System.

'How can I speak the orc language?'

[“Thank you to Rimi. He allows you to master two languages now.”]

'Should I thank you for speaking the language of monsters?'

[“Of course. With that limited brain of yours, you won't be able to learn their strange language even if you memorize it to the point of vomiting blood.”]

'…'

'Y-yeah... Thank you.'

.........

Alvin straightened his body. He then walked slowly into the middle of the cave, approaching the corpse of the high orc Mage that had been charred by its poison.

《“You even asked that? Why don't you ask how your men got poisoned?”》

《“What?”》

While continuing to walk Alvin purposely straightened his body for the Dungeon boss to see his stomach wound that had recovered as he levelled up.

Alvin's intention to shock his opponent succeeded. Not just the monster. Hunter-hunter who was attached to the wall was also surprised to see all of Alvin's wounds had recovered and he also looked fresh fit.

《“Who healed him?”》

Seeing the wound on his opponent's stomach suddenly close, the Dungeon boss took a look around him, looking for a creature that might have sent healing magic to him. However, he found no one else but the hunter who was now tangled in a net and helpless nearby.

Just realizing that his opponent is dangerous, the Dungeon boss finally uses one of the hunters to threaten Alvin.

《"Shut up at your place or I'll kill him!"》
