Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 101
101. Survivor
There’s no way sunlight would suddenly pour in into a cave with no walls around.
Min Do-jun and Kim Ji-hoon immediately went to where the light was coming from and saw a survivor who had turned on flame magic.
It was a woman wearing a robe.
“Survivor!”
“Are you okay?”
The woman nodded weakly, withdrawing her magic.
I heard a human voice so I turned on my fire magic and luckily I found myself.
“It doesn’t look okay… … .”
There was blood all over her body.
“It’s not my blood. It’s the guild members’… … .”
And then he shut his mouth.
Judging from the fact that he can’t continue speaking, it seems that he has suffered considerable mental shock.
“Are you the one who pressed the help request button? You’re a member of the Somang Guild.”
“yes…….”
“I am Kim Ji-hoon from the Emperor Guild. This is Hunter Min Do-jun from the Ilsan branch. I am here to help you, so you can rest assured.”
“Ah… … Thank you. I am An Cho-hee from the Somang Guild.”
As soon as the announcement was made, An Cho-hee frowned.
“Why are you like that?”
“Oh, my legs hurt so much… … .”
When I lifted her robe, I saw that her legs were dyed black.
“You are infected with poison.”
Kim Ji-hoon, who had faced the boss, recognized it as soon as he saw it.
“Poison… … ?”
“Yes. If you get hit by the poison that the black-colored king civet spits out, your legs will turn black like this. Looking at this, it looks like you’ve definitely faced the boss.”
Kim Ji-hoon looked relieved for some reason.
To be honest, I was secretly worried that there might be no boss.
‘Thank goodness we have a boss.’
It was the same for Min Do-jun.
On the other hand, An Cho-hee was just wondering.
“I didn’t see the boss spitting out anything… … .”
“The poison is black, so you probably wouldn’t have even noticed it was being sprayed. Even if only a small amount touches the skin, it penetrates the body and causes these poisoning symptoms, so if you didn’t know how to deal with it, you couldn’t avoid getting infected.”
Min Do-jun was secretly impressed by Kim Ji-hoon’s explanation.
‘You must be an experienced person, so you know more than what is known on the Internet.’
An Cho-hee also looked somewhat surprised.
“Oh, how do you know so much?”
“I received training about bosses at the guild and even defeated one myself once. Have you never received training, Chohee?”
“yes…….”
The Wish Guild is a mid-to-upper guild, ranked around 30th.
The curriculum is somewhat different from that of the Emperor Guild, which is ranked first.
Even so, I could have found out about the boss if I had put my mind to it, but I didn’t pay attention because I thought I would never encounter him. That was the cause of my trouble.
“What happened? Why did you end up alone?”
“Ah… … That’s… … .”
An Cho-hee explained the circumstances of the incident to the two people.
The story was that after hunting for about 5 hours, they encountered a boss and the guild members who were beginners rushed at it without knowing what was going on.
“I tried to stop them from running away, but the guild members suddenly rushed at them. Two of them died instantly, and the rest all died while running away… … .”
An Cho-hee trailed off as memories of that time came to mind.
“Who was the leader?”
“… … It was me. I was the highest level among the party members. I also had experience clearing the dungeons of other people… … .”
“Excuse me, what level are you?”
“It’s 1,820. The other party members were beginners who had just reached level 1,600.”
“ah…….”
Kim Ji-hoon sighed in regret.
The good news, however, was that the remaining survivors were high level.
‘If a level 1,800 wizard helps, three people can conquer it.’
The only thing that worries me is that the wizard in front of me is poisoned.
At that moment, An Cho-hee asked about the poison with a worried look on her face.
“Um… What happens if I get poisoned? I won’t die like this, right?”
“That’s not it, but the pain will start to go up from your legs and your body will gradually start to stiffen. It will take about 6 hours for your limbs to become paralyzed. It’s not life-threatening, but it’s still dangerous because you can’t move.”
“… … .”
“Don’t worry too much though. You can recover with the magic of a healer.”
Although I told her not to worry, An Cho-hee still couldn’t smile.
No matter what, I couldn’t help but be worried that my body would become paralyzed.
“I understand the situation, but where is the boss?”
“It should be at the other end… … Why? Could it be… … ?”
“Yes. You guessed it right. We’re going to catch the boss.”
An Cho-hee was surprised by Kim Ji-hoon’s words.

“Two, you two are going to catch it?”
“If Ms. Chohee helps, there are three.”
An Cho-hee’s pupils shook back and forth.
‘You’re saying two people can catch what six people can’t?’
I don’t know much about bosses, but one thing was for sure.
That’s not something that can be caught by just two people.
You could tell just by looking at the two guild members who were initially charging in and getting torn to pieces.
‘Not only are you fighting the boss, you’re asking me to help you too… … .’
It was impossible to win even with his own help.
Unless there’s an S-class hunter.
‘for a moment.’
A thought suddenly crossed her mind.
“What are the levels of both of you?”
The thought that the hunter in front of me might be an S-class or similar hunter.
but.
“It’s level 2,043.”
“It’s level 1,700.”
Below expectations.
There are even levels lower than yours.
A desperate situation.
‘You said you were a hunter from the Ilsan branch…?’
An Cho-hee, who was looking at Min Do-jun, quickly turned her gaze away.
Regardless of affiliation, the level was too low to begin with.
‘If I’m going to catch the boss, the only person I can trust is this person… … .’
Kim Ji-hoon of the Emperor Guild.
The level is high and the knowledge about the boss is also considerable.
Above all, since he has experience hunting bosses, you can trust and follow him.
‘But can three people catch it?’
An Cho-hee shook her head.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was hopeless.
“I appreciate you coming to help, but it’s too reckless for the three of us to take on the boss. I’m not in good health… … .”
“Your upper body isn’t stiff yet, so you can still use magic, right? Even if you just hit me with stake damage from afar, it’ll be helpful.”
“As a supporter, I wonder if the deal will be done properly… … .”
“Yes? Were you a supporter?”
Kim Ji-hoon asked in surprise.
I thought he was a wizard, but I didn’t know he was a supporter.
“Yes… … I’m a supporter. I have attack magic, but only one. The rest I learned are support magic.”
“… … .”
Modern magicians are mostly focused on magical power, so their damage can be considered high.
However, this only applies when you have learned an attack skill.
For supporters who mostly filled their skills with auxiliary skills, the story was different.
“hmm…….”
Kim Ji-hoon swallowed his breath as his plan went awry.
It’s not that being a supporter doesn’t help, but what he wanted was a dealer.
‘If I only have one attack skill, I guess I’ll have to give up on damage. It’ll take some time to catch this one… … ?’
It would just take a little more time, but it wasn’t impossible to catch the boss.
‘This is only assuming that Hunter Min Do-jun is at a similar level to me.’
Kim Ji-hoon was strongly convinced.
That Min Do-jun is hiding his power.
Although he showed a weak side throughout the hunt at Namhansanseong, this time it will be different.
The stage has been set so that you have no choice but to show your skills.
‘Can you really hide your skills in front of the sweet fruit called Boss?’
Kim Ji-hoon said no.
There was a high probability that all damage would be poured out to gain contribution.
‘The guild leader dismissed it as just a rumor, but there’s no smoke without a chimney. Judging from his actions so far, he’s definitely not a weak hunter.’
Because I was confident, I brought Min Do-jun as bait to the boss.
I couldn’t give up after coming this far.
Whether it works or not, you have to attack the boss with a supporter.
“It would be a great help if you could help me even as a supporter. How about trusting me and participating in the strategy?”
“hmm…….”
An Cho-hee hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
“all right.”
What changed her mind was Kim Ji-hoon’s confident attitude.
‘Out of the two, this is the only one I can trust. He’s high level and he’s from the Emperor’s Guild… ‘
There must be a reason why Kim Ji-hoon is so confident, even though the hunter named Min Do-jun was a little bit lacking.
“Before we start attacking the boss, can you tell me what skills there are?”
“Yes, first of all… … .”
An Cho-hee briefly explained to Kim Ji-hoon the skills she had learned.
‘It might work against normal foxes, but it doesn’t have any skills that are particularly helpful against bosses. It would have been better if it was a dealer… … .’
Kim Ji-hoon, who was secretly disappointed, did not show it on the outside and spoke of a specific plan.
“Once Cho-hee settles down in a safe place, Do-jun and I will start attacking. Then, once we bring him within striking distance, you can provide support. Focus on using magic that deals damage, and don’t use other status-altering magic, as it will only draw aggro instead of working.”
“all right.”
“Mr. Dojun, you can run with me and focus on the head and deal all the damage you can, but one thing you have to be careful of is that there’s a timing when the bastard sprays poison. When I give you the signal, you should immediately dodge towards the bastard’s tail. Got it?”
“yes.”
Although he already knew the strategy, Min Do-jun nodded without saying anything.
“Then shall we go? Chohee-ssi. I will help you, so please guide us to where the boss is.”
“yes…….”
Kim Ji-hoon woke up Ahn Cho-hee.
Moving with support.
“Ugh!”
After walking for a short while, An Cho-hee groaned.
Every time I walked, I felt pain.
“Oh, it hurts so much I can’t walk… … .”
“That won’t work. Please carry me.”
An Cho-hee, who had been hesitating, had no choice but to ride on Kim Ji-hoon’s back.
For Kim Ji-hoon, who has great strength, carrying An Cho-hee on his back was no easy task.
“You are as light as a feather?”
“… … I’m over there.”
An Cho-hee, with a red face, pointed forward.
The two people moved under the guidance of An Cho-hee.
Did it take about 30 minutes?
An Cho-hee pointed to one side with a look of fear in her eyes.
“… … It’s over there.”
Where she pointed, there was a giant civet so dark in color that it was difficult to tell at first glance.
The boss here was a black-colored king civet.
“As expected, it’s incredibly big.”
As its name suggests, the king civet was four times thicker and longer than other civets.
It may seem like it would be good to have a large attack surface area, but its armor and skin are much harder than those of normal guys.
“You got it? You only hit the head. The other parts are hard and attacking them won’t work.”
“Are you really going to fight?”
An Cho-hee asked, “Is she afraid when she actually faces the boss?”
“of course.”
‘That’s why I came in.’
Kim Ji-hoon swallowed his words and put Ahn Cho-hee down in a corner.
The boss hadn’t noticed any movement since we were more than 100 meters away.
“If we bring him here as planned, you can support us here. Can you do it?”
“Yes… … I’ll try.”
Kim Ji-hoon took out his weapon with a serious expression.
“Okay, then let’s get started… … .”
“Just a moment.”
Min Do-jun raised his hand.
“I need to go to the bathroom.”
“Huh? Oh… … I see.”
Kim Ji-hoon put down his weapon as if he was shocked.
‘Well, it’s probably your first time facing the boss, so it’s understandable to be nervous.’
Even someone with experience would get sweaty palms, so wouldn’t Min Do-jun do the same?
After waiting for Min Do-jun for 10 minutes,
“Why don’t you come?”
“Um, well.”
Anxiety appeared on both their faces.
“Let’s wait a little longer.”
I waited for another 10 minutes, thinking that I might be seeing something big.
“You’re not coming for a long time… … .”
“What happened…?”
After not showing up for 20 minutes, Kim Ji-hoon finally made a move.
“I’ll go look for it and come back.”
Kim Ji-hoon, who had returned the way Min Do-jun had gone, appeared a little later.
“What happened?”
“… … I can’t see it.”
“yes?”
“I thought you had gone a little too far, so I looked deeper, but you were nowhere to be found.”
“S, no way… … .”
“yes…….”
Kim Ji-hoon said with a complicated expression.
“I think he ran away.”
