Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 116
116. Elixir of Life
‘Dayeon isn’t breathing?’
Min Do-jun asked again, wondering if he had misheard.
But the answer I got back was the same.
-I mean, literally… … . I can’t breathe… … .
What if you don’t breathe?
Are you saying he’s dead?
“Please wait. I will be there shortly.”
Min Do-jun’s expression after hanging up the phone was complicated.
‘What happened? Could it be that the pain couldn’t be endured anymore…?’
That could be the case.
Even Ahn Gwang-hyun, who is over level 2,400, had a hard time enduring the pain, so there is no way that Hwang Da-yeon, who is just an ordinary person, would be able to endure it.
‘If Ahn Gwang-hyun were alive, I would have asked him… … .’
Min Do-jun looked at the spot where the corpse had already disappeared with eyes filled with regret.
‘I should go there first.’
Min Do-jun took only the cell phone that Ahn Gwang-hyun left behind and burned everything else with magic.
After finishing the cleanup, I ran down the mountain at full speed.
The background flashed past a few times.
We quickly arrived at the car where Hwang Ui-cheol was.
“teacher!”
“… … .”
Hwang Ui-cheol didn’t even answer, wondering where his mind was.
He just stares blankly at one place with an expression of having lost his country.
Just from that reaction, Min Do-jun could guess Hwang Da-yeon’s condition.
‘There’s really no pulse.’
I put my finger on the tip of his nose and felt his neck, but I couldn’t feel any breathing or pulse.
‘He’s dead.’
Above all, it was certain that information was not visible due to the weakness detection characteristic.
Because the information was only visible to the living.
‘He died because he couldn’t bear the pain.’
Min Do-jun’s expression darkened.
I’ve seen countless people die, but the death of an acquaintance felt different.
An empty feeling, as if a part of your body has disappeared.
‘How difficult it must have been.’
The fact that he died in pain made Min Do-jun feel complicated.
It was the same for Hwang Ui-cheol.
“It’s my fault… … . If only I hadn’t been handling such dangerous things… … .”
He was beyond sad and was reproaching himself.
His daughter died because of what he did.
The head of the household, who was supposed to protect his family, put them in danger.
“f*ck… … .”
After self-reproach, anger welled up.
It was anger directed at himself and no one else.
I wanted to tear myself apart.
Min Do-jun was also aware of those feelings.
Rather, I knew better than anyone else because I had experienced it myself.
That’s why I haven’t visited it yet.
‘We must not meet again until we have killed them all and eliminated the threat.’
That was the reason why Min Do-jun had not met Cha Ye-rin until now.
‘Wait a minute… … I have that, don’t you?’
At that moment, Min Do-jun remembered what was in his inventory.
‘The elixir of life.’
A S-class consumable item that resurrects the dead.
However, only the Awakened could be resurrected.
‘Today is Dayeon’s birthday. If the situation before the regression continues, it will be the day of 100% awakening.’
Min Do-jun knew that Hwang Da-yeon would awaken.
But I don’t know what time I woke up.
‘If I died after awakening… … .’
Maybe we can save Dayeon with the elixir of life.
“Teacher, what time is Dayeon’s birthday?”
“what?”
When I suddenly said something ridiculous, Hwang Ui-cheol looked dumbfounded.
“There’s no time. Hurry up!”
Hwang Ui-cheol answered absentmindedly at the urgent voice.
“It’ll be around 3 a.m. I don’t know exactly, but… … .”
‘It’s ambiguous.’
It was 2:50 when Min Do-jun went to deal with Ahn Kwang-hyun.

The Hwang Da-yeon I saw at that time had not yet awakened.
‘The key is whether you awaken and die or not.’
If he died before 3 o’clock, he died as a normal person and cannot be revived.
‘Anyway, you’ll know once you try it.’
Min Do-jun took out a flask containing liquid from his inventory.
“Dojun, what is that?”
“Teacher, don’t be surprised if Dayeon comes back to life.”
“What, what does that mean? Is Dayeon alive?”
“This item will save Dayeon.”
Min Do-jun, holding the elixir in his hand, memorized the command.
‘use.’
[Bring it to the mouth of the person you want to use it on.]
When I put it on Hwang Da-yeon’s lips, a reaction occurred.
The flask disappeared and the solution flowed into his mouth.
‘it’s okay!’
The fact that an item that would have been rejected from the start if it were an ordinary person was used… … .
‘It means that the leap has definitely worked.’
As expected.
“Ugh!”
Hwang Da-yeon, who had been as unresponsive as if dead, opened her eyes and exhaled.
Hwang Ui-cheol couldn’t help but widen his eyes at the sight.
“All, Dayeon!”
My daughter, who I thought was definitely dead, miraculously came back to life.
A situation that is both good and unbelievable.
“Oh, Dad?”
It was the same for Hwang Da-yeon, who was also unbelievable.
You know your own body condition very well.
I closed my eyes in pain, thinking that I would never see my father’s face again.
That’s why the pain that was completely gone and the feeling of being reborn somehow didn’t feel real.
The two people looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
“Dayeon! My daughter!”
Hwang Ui-cheol hugged her tightly.
“Dad, it hurts.”
“Uh, I’m sorry.”
“Be careful, teacher. Dayeon might only have 10% of her stamina left.”
“Huh? 10%?”
“The item I just used revives the Awakened One with 10% health.”
“Now, wait a minute. Awakened?”
Min Do-jun explained the conditions of the leap to him who was wondering.
“My daughter has awakened?”
When I glanced at her, Hwang Da-yeon nodded in agreement.
“The golden effect is awakening, right? Then it is awakening, Dad.”
“… … .”
I hoped my daughter would never follow the path of a hunter, but she has awakened.
But isn’t it thanks to that that I was able to come back to life like this?
‘Oh, so what?’
Hwang Ui-cheol was so happy that he wanted to jump for joy just to see his daughter come back alive.
It’s not too late to think about your daughter’s future after things have settled down.
“Thank you, Dojun. For saving my daughter.”
“No. You saved my life too, teacher.”
“What the hell is that item? It can revive the dead… … I’ve never heard of such an item in my lifetime.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of this item as an elixir of life. This is also the first time I’ve used it.”
It wasn’t something that Min Do-jun, who knew the combination method, should have said, but he ignored it for now.
Because if I were to explain it, it would seem like there would be no end to it.
“It looks like a valuable item, but how did you get it?”
“that is…….”
“No. Don’t tell me. What does it matter where you got it? What matters is that it saved my daughter’s life.”
Hwang Ui-cheol grabbed Min Do-jun’s hand.
“Thank you again for using such a precious item to save my daughter. I will never forget this favor.”
“Haha… … No.”
Min Do-jun smiled awkwardly when she said she was so grateful for the favor she had received.
If Hwang Ui-cheol hadn’t saved him, he wouldn’t have even existed.
Hwang Da-yeon, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two, belatedly realized the situation.
“Was I really dead? You saved me on that day, Dojun… …?”
Min Do-jun nodded silently.
Then, the tears that had stopped flowing from Hwang Da-yeon’s eyes began to flow again.
She felt that death was imminent as she writhe in pain.
So at the last moment, I closed my eyes and gave up on life.
But I never thought I would see my father again like this.
Min Do-jun wasn’t the only one saved.
“Thank you… … . I will cherish this favor for the rest of my life.”
Life saver?
Even that level of expression wasn’t enough.
Because you didn’t save me from death, you saved me from death.
“Dojun, that elixir of life seems like a consumable item… … It’s gone now, what do we do?”
“It’s okay. It’s an item that can only be used by others anyway and can’t be sold because it’s exclusive.”
Although the elixir of life has disappeared, it is an elixir that was originally intended to be used for Hwang Ui-cheol.
Even if I used it, there was no way I would regret it.
Rather, I felt proud because Hwang Ui-cheol liked it.
‘You can make another leap later.’
Since you already have one of the ingredients, the Fountain of Vitality, you can make it again if you just get the stem of the Tree of Life.
“Thanks anyway, Dojun.”
“Thank you, sob sob… … .”
The woman who kept saying thank you as if once was not enough finally shed tears.
‘Both of them have so many tears… … .’
Min Do-jun shook his head slightly.
Even if that’s true for Dayeon, I didn’t know that Hwang Ui-cheol would cry this much.
It was a new look for Min Do-jun, who had always seen a solemn appearance.
“By the way, what happened to that guy, An Gwang-hyun?”
Min Do-jun said calmly.
“He died.”
“Did you kill him?”
“… … .”
Hwang Ui-cheol waved his hand as if it was okay, as he looked at her contemplating whether or not she should say this.
“Don’t worry, I have no intention of reporting you for murder. I’m not some kind of pacifist like Gandhi. Even if it weren’t for you, I would have killed that bastard no matter what. So you can be honest with me.”
“Yes, I killed it.”
“Well done. That bastard deserves to die.”
I wasn’t advocating murder, but I had absolutely no intention of protecting the man who had killed my own daughter.
“Dayeon, don’t worry anymore. Dojun took care of everything.”
“Really… … right?”
Her shoulders shook slightly, as if fear still lingered.
It is understandable, since he was kidnapped without even knowing what was going on and suffered indescribable pain until he died.
“I’ve taken care of all those guys. You won’t be in danger from them anymore, so don’t worry.”
Strictly speaking, only the leader of the Black Sea Guild and a few of his subordinates were killed, but it was true that the threat had disappeared.
Because the Black Sea Guild was not an organization that could move without a leader.
‘At least I won’t touch Dayeon. Ah!’
Min Do-jun opened his inventory as if something had occurred to him belatedly.
“Come to think of it, I didn’t give you this.”
What he carefully took out was none other than the legendary sword.
“Here is the sword I borrowed.”
Hwang Ui-cheol, who received the sword, was lost in thought.
Min Do-jun looked puzzled at the sight of it not being put in inventory.
“teacher?”
“I thought about it carefully.”
Hwang Ui-cheol suddenly spoke with a serious face.
“How about you write this?”
