The Hunter System
Chapter 75 - Frustrating Opponents (3)
"Mina, what do you mean?!"
["Let's just hang on, don't die."]
.........
Alvin was thrown right next to a giant grave.
In that place, there was already one more burly man waiting for him.
"So they're boss's escorts, right? How could they have been hiding from the Dungeon map?"
["They're not hiding. Look at that grave."]
Alvin looked over, looking at the grave. He saw a hole there.
The two men were actually in one burrow with the Dungeon boss and they had come out from different sides of the mound after Alvin had pulled out the magic pillar.
"Just remember the magic energy is huge. They're stacked in one place."
.........
Before long, the ground around the place trembled before finally a black-robed figure came out from within the large hole that was where the grave was located.
"Is he this his necromancer?"
["Yes. But there was nothing he could raise apart from these two lichs. So you just have to survive these two lichs until the time limit is left."]
"W-what? You mean until the gate closes? You want me to keep them here? Then, how do I get out?"
["That's not. Don't panic and just hang on."]
"What do you mean?"
["Rimi, how much time is left?"]
<5 minutes>
"Huh? What's with five minutes?"
While Alvin was still talking, the burly lich that was waiting near the grave started attacking with his sword.
The Lich Warrior slashed his sword from a distance and lightning struck from the path of the sword trajectory.
The speed of the lightning strike was almost impossible for him to follow with his sense of sight. Fortunately, he had a good sensitivity, which helped him avoid danger.
But, Alvin did not see the coming attack from the lich that had been chasing and catching him. The Lich Assassin was already nearby and managed to pin his dagger into Alvin's stomach, then tore it apart.
Srrraaaattt...!
"Arghhh... Goddamnit!"
After being hit by the attack, Alvin fires spider webs at the Assassin lich. But, those nets never reached his opponent's body.
The net he had just fired floated above his head, then fell on his own body until he was trapped inside.
Alvin wants to use the insect conqueror, but Mina forbids it.
["Don't sacrifice them."]
"What...?! But..."
["If they die, that Mage lich will raise them up as his army. You're gonna lose, instead. Hold on in 5 minutes. Don't you die."]
Alvin was advised to hold on to not die. But, he felt that he might never be able to make it happen.
His body suddenly floated in the air without his will.
Alvin saw the Mage lich who was the Dungeon's boss was pointing his palm at him and he knew that what made his body fly up and now gradually went to the grave hole was the Mage's lich.
"I can't move. What magic is this?"
["Telekinesis."]
.........
The Lich Assassin attacked again. This time he blew a lot of attacks to destroy the armor and managed to slash Alvin's one hand.
Alvin wasn't worried about that. He was more worried about his body that he could not master after being exposed to the opponent's magic.
Alvin finally arrives at the top of the burrow and is thrown into the hole by a Mage lich.
The Lich Mage then directed both of his palms into the hole. Then, from both hands came a firestorm that grabbed and burned Alvin, who could only survive with self-defence.
"It's so hot, '" murmured Alvin, while focusing on strengthening his self-defence with his Mana energy, as he felt that he would die of fire if he did not focus on defense alone. He strengthened that defensive magic by adding a lot of Mana energy into it.
After the burning was over, Alvin hurriedly switched jobs to Healer and used the regeneration skill, which he obtained after completing the level 71 quest, to regenerate his recently severed hand.
Looking at the opponent's abilities, the Mage lich smiled. He pulled Alvin out of the hole, then threw him to the ground, near the Warrior's lich.
The Lich Warrior raised the sword, then pointed it at Alvin's neck.
Wusshhhhhc...
Alvin, of course, avoided it. He rolled over, changed jobs to Assassins, then fled quickly towards the Dungeon gate.
But, the telekinesis of the Mage lich is really disturbing. Alvin wanted to escape, but his body suddenly floated again and then slammed back very hard.
Mmmm!!!
["Nothing. They were level with SS-ranked hunters in this era. That Lich Mage was even close to SSS rank."]
"..."
Meanwhile, the Mage lich continued to lift and slam Alvin's body many times.
After slamming it, the Mage lich again threw Alvin's body at the Warrior lich, which immediately threw his sword again into Alvin's neck.
Unable to dodge it, Alvin caught the sword with both hands.
But, the lich Assassin had already come and directly kicked his head.
Vuakkkkk...!
"You jerk! Shit, I really hate this Assassin!"
With all his might, Alvin then pulled out the sword he was holding. He intended to slam his opponent, but the Assassin lich again attacked him.
Stab!
The magic-ridden dagger blew up the ground where the dagger had struck, after Alvin had avoided it.
Seeing his comrade's attack avoided, the Warrior lich finally released the sword from his grasp, then caught Alvin's two legs.
The Lich Warrior pulled Alvin and twisted his body before slamming him again to the ground.
Baaammmm!
"They're deliberately trying to torture me before killing me, right?"
The Lich Assassin attacked again.
Alvin could see dozens of shadow daggers coming towards him. Reflexively, he instantly used an enormous flame to attempt to remove the opponent from his presence.
Woooooss...
He then jumped and ran away limping. But, again his opponent ambushed with telekinesis magic and slammed it again in front of the Warrior lich.
Alvin shot a thunderbolt recklessly in front of his body. He knew the enemy would come again after he fell.
The idea is good. The two lichs who were approaching and wanted to torture him again, of course immediately jumped back because of the thunderbolt that snatched.
While the two lich moved away, Alvin changed his job again to Assassin and ran at full speed, albeit with one leg limping.
This time he did not attempt to escape, but went straight to the Mage lich who would definitely catch him again if he intended to escape.
"All right now. If I have to die, I have to take her with me!"
Alvin almost reaches his destination when he suddenly comes to a halt and flies away as the Mage's lich thickens his body with telekinesis.
Dasshhh...!
He bounced away and fell down, before being flown again and pulled towards the two lichs who had been waiting for him to be tortured again.
"Mina... What am I supposed to do? It's frustrating me!"
["I know. You've fought well."]
"What does... Wooooaaahhh...!"
Baaammm!!!
His body was slammed hard into the ground. But, this time Alvin jumped and went away from the two lich who were shocked because Alvin could dodge very quickly.
Lich Mage was also shocked when his telekinesis could not control the body of his prey anymore.
......................
Unlike before, Alvin was now staring at the three lichs with a terrifying cold gaze, making the three lich shudder as their gazes met each other.
He then retrieved the dagger from the inventory window.
"See. This should be an Assassin, " said Mina slowly, returning the dagger again into the inventory window.
Mina has taken over Alvin's body by force before he dies, with Rimi's help. That's why Mina had asked Alvin to wait and survive as long as Rimi did the forced takeover process.
["Huh? What the hell are you doing? Why did you return the dagger again?"] alvin was confused.
Mina moved Alvin's hand and raised it slightly higher than her head.
Alvin was surprised to see the three lich heads whose hairs were intertwined into one, already in his grasp.
["Ap... Y-when are you.."]
Feeling disbelief, Alvin also stared at the three body figures of the lich who already had no head.
["B-how can you move without me noticing?!"]
"Tsk... It was still very slow."
["..."]
Mina returns Alvin's body to her again. As they had already exchanged positions back, Alvin finally lost consciousness as his entire Mana energy drained away. Mina has used it as much as possible, very effectively.
