Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 168
168. When you have to take on debt
Min Do-jun began the task of uniting the spirits using the ghost wolf.
[Awwwww!]
The enhanced howling attracted all spirits within 500 meters.
Dozens of spirits chased the ghost wolf out of the area.
‘Howling’s aggro is truly amazing.’
There is no taunt skill with a range of 500 meters anywhere.
It was only about 30 meters long.
[Woof, woof!]
He lured the spirits like a shepherd dog leading a flock of sheep.
[Awwwww!]
Use Howling again to gather and combine spirits from other areas.
In that order: water, wind, earth, and fire spirits.
After going around and absorbing the four areas, only the darker colored fire spirits remained.
‘Okay.’
Min Do-jun, who had been watching the process of the spirits being absorbed through transparency, appeared.
and.
Kwaaaaang-!
The completed fire spirits were defeated with Magnum Burst, and reborn as bizarre tree spirits.
‘How many are there in total?’
Min Do-jun smiled brightly as he looked at the 50 tree spirits.
I laughed when I thought about the experience I would gain.
[Experience +165,000]
[Experience +165,000]
[Experience +165,000]
… …
…
[The soul has been saved.]
[Number of souls saved: 10/10]
[Your souls are full to store.]
[Any souls acquired after this point will automatically disappear.]
[To save a new soul, please destroy a soul on the list to make room.]
‘I guess in order to receive a new soul, I have to erase the old one and make room for it, like a parasite.’
Min Do-jun nodded as he read the message from time to time while dealing with the tree spirit.
‘Let’s take a look at the power of the skill.’
Min Do-jun aimed his sword at the gathered tree spirits.
‘Soul exploitation.’
As soon as I called out the skill name, a message came to mind.
[After calling out the number of the soul you wish to use, recite the activating word ‘Soul Explosion’.]
[However, souls cannot be accumulated when killed by soul explosion.]
‘From 1 to 10, soul explosion.’
A black haze gathered from the tip of the sword and quickly shot towards the tree spirits.
Kwakwakwakwang-!
[Level up!]
‘Hoo.’
The twenty tree spirits that had been gathered together instantly turned into smoke.
That’s understandable. It was inevitable that it would come out in one hit, since it consumed 10 souls and poured out damage equivalent to 3,000% of the magic power.
‘The damage is damage, but the range is quite wide?’
I knew it was a range of damage, but it was wider than I thought.
‘It looks wider than the Magnum Burst.’
It’s long-range, has a wide range, and even deals damage in one hit.
‘Isn’t that a totally awesome skill?’
It was indeed worthy of being called the best skill among warlocks.
‘There is a downside to having to build up souls again after a soul explosion, though.’
Even taking that into account, the damage was so fraudulent that it was okay.
[The soul has been saved.]
[Number of souls saved: 1/10]
… …
…
[Number of souls saved: 9/10]
[Number of souls saved: 10/10]
As I was catching tree spirits, more souls quickly piled up.
‘It would be a waste to use all of my soul, so should I just use half?’
The Ghost Sword pointed to the ten remaining tree spirits.
‘Soul explosion from 1 to 5.’
The black energy shot out like a ray again, but this time there was Min Do-jun’s intervention.
An attempt at magic control.

‘Oh, I guess it’s magic so it can be stopped?’
Not only could it stop, it could also be controlled freely.
The dark beam that had been circling in the air fell under Min Do-jun’s direction.
Kwakwakwakwang-!
All ten tree spirits were caught in the area, but not a single one died.
‘I didn’t die because I only used five souls.’
The already bizarre tree spirit is a monster with high health.
Rather, it was amazing to catch it in one room.
After waiting for a bit of cooldown, I used the skill again.
Only then did the tree spirits disappear, leaving behind experience points.
‘Experience is good, but it would be nice if they also gave me some of the tree of life.’
Since it was an ingredient that was already hard to obtain, I didn’t think it would come out easily.
‘Well, there are still plenty of opportunities.’
I just caught 50 of them.
And this result was achieved in just 30 minutes.
‘When I was running on foot, it was one every ten minutes.’
As expected, the time was shortened tremendously when hunting in groups.
‘If you do this, you won’t have to worry about getting penalized.’
If you catch 100 fish per hour, it will be easy to reach the target of 1,000 fish within 24 hours.
Min Do-jun spurred on the hunt.
* * *
I cleared the Forest of Spirits dungeon in just 12 hours after entering.
Although it was a fairly fast speed, Min Do-jun’s expression was not good.
It was because the material for the elixir of life that was being sought after did not come out.
‘I caught 1,000 weird tree spirits, but they didn’t come out.’
The materials that were requested did not come out, but instead, four A-grade magic stones and equipment and skill books that Min Do-jun did not need came out.
‘Still, thanks to monopolizing it all by myself, I was able to raise my level by a lot.’
The experience of the bizarre tree spirit is 165,000.
By catching 1,000 of those guys, I gained 165 million experience points.
‘It’s more than the experience points you get from conquering the Infinity Tower.’
As a result, Min Do-jun was able to raise his level by 50 in one day.
This result was possible because of the added effect of tripling experience points and the trick of creating a bizarre tree spirit.
‘Level 50 in one day? I’ll be S-ranked in two weeks at this rate.’
I had expected it would take another two months, but I had overlooked the experience boost effect and the experience from the bizarre tree spirit.
‘I need to use this S-class dungeon entrance ticket as soon as possible.’
Min Do-jun has an S-class dungeon entrance ticket that he obtained by catching a black-colored king civet.
Since it is an S-class dungeon, it is efficient to enter when your level is as low as possible because there are no level restrictions on the items you can use.
However, since you can enter all S-class dungeons once you pass level 3,000, you had to use it before that.
Because if you use it later, it’s just a piece of paper.
‘So, before reaching level 3,000, I tried to choose a suitable S-class dungeon and enter it… … .’
I ended up using the S-class dungeon entrance ticket sooner than expected.
‘Since the schedule has been brought forward, I need to enter the S-class dungeon as soon as possible.’
That wasn’t the only thing that had its schedule pulled forward.
‘Immigrant. It’s time to kill that bitch.’
Lee Min-ji, the only female target of revenge.
Min Do-jun planned to kill her using the S-class dungeon entrance ticket.
‘Then I’ll need help from the White Lotus Guild.’
The time has come to repay the debt after a year.
* * *
If you were to pick the most unique guild among the major guilds in Korea, the Baekryeon Guild would definitely be the one to choose.
It’s not that it wasn’t, it was a unique guild that only female hunters could join.
dripping-
“Guild Leader. I am An Su-yeon.”
“You’re here? Come in.”
Hong Se-yeon, the master of the Baekryeon Guild, looked up from her cell phone.
“What were you looking at?”
In response to manager Ahn Su-yeon’s question, Hong Se-yeon responded as if it was nothing.
“I was reading an article. It was titled ‘The Hero Who Saved Hongdae.’”
“Ah, you mean Hunter Min Do-jun.”
There was hardly anyone in the hunter industry who didn’t know Min Do-jun.
Originally, he was a talent known only to those in the know, but this time, after accomplishing a major task and appearing on public broadcast, his popularity has skyrocketed.
Of course, the two knew Min Do-jun’s true value even before the Hongdae break.
“I was curious recently so I checked the level and it was already over 2,500.”
“Yeah. That’s a lot of speed.”
“Maybe I can surpass Hunter Kim Pil-young and become the twentieth S-class Hunter?”
“Kim Pil-young? Who is that?”
Seven months ago, S-class hunters began to emerge one after another in Korea, led by Shin Kyung-min.
The number of S-class members increased to 19 as of now.
Kim Pil-young is currently the highest level hunter among the A-class hunters at level 2,960, and is a strong candidate to become the next S-class hunter.
“You know, the twentieth S-class powerful hunter. Haven’t you seen the article?”
“I don’t know. I’m not interested in that kind of thing.”
“Then are you only interested in Hunter Min Do-jun?”
“Hey, there’s nothing he can’t do!”
An Su-yeon, who was chuckling at the flustered guild leader, continued speaking with a subtle smile.
“That’s right. Lately, they’ve been telling me that Hunter Min Do-jun caught an S-class boss, that the video of him stopping a dungeon break got 100 million views, that he was offered 200 billion by the Emperor Guild, and so on. It’s all about Hunter Min Do-jun.”
“I’m saying that because it keeps coming up in the news these days!”
“Are you not interested?”
“Why do you keep doing this?”
“Let’s just be honest with each other. I’m also interested in being honest.”
“Uh, yeah?”
Hong Se-yeon was flustered by the unexpected confession.
“What does that mean?”
“What do you mean? I’m literally interested in it. It’s hot these days.”
“ah.”
“Did you really think it was something like a man’s interest? The guild leader is secretly a bit cheeky.”
“Hey, do you want to keep joking around?”
“Kuk kuk kuk.”
Ahn Su-yeon smiled as if she found it amusing, looking at Hong Se-yeon’s blushing face.
Hong Se-yeon looked at me with angry eyes, but she wasn’t really angry.
Because we were close like siblings from the beginning, we were able to have conversations like this.
“I’m just interested because I haven’t heard from you since then. Not as a man.”
“Oh, you mean when Hyeji and Heeyoung saved you?”
Guild members Kim Hye-ji and Jeong Hee-young had received help from Min Do-jun a year ago.
I went into the Tarantula Dungeon and was almost killed by the boss, but Min Do-jun saved me.
“At that time, they had trauma toward men.”
An Su-yeon, who was in charge of both, recalled her memories from that time.
“They used to sing songs about how dangerous men are, but I was so surprised to see them partying with male hunters without any hesitation.”
“Yes. It’s all thanks to Hunter Min Do-jun breaking my prejudice.”
“That’s right. So our guild has somewhat shed its reputation as a male-hating guild. Not completely, but… … .”
Hong Se-yeon nodded as if agreeing.
Improving the image was not as easy as it sounds.
“Haven’t you heard from Hunter Min Do-jun since then?”
“Yeah. I told him to let me know if he needed any help, but he still hasn’t heard from me.”
“Maybe I forgot?”
“well…….”
Hong Se-yeon felt frustrated.
I want to repay you for saving my guild members, but I can’t, so…
“Contact them first. You can thank them for helping you improve your image.”
“That’s true, but… … .”
It’s not like Hong Se-yeon hasn’t thought about that either.
But for some reason, my confidence dropped.
‘What if I contact them first and get rejected?’
If I had contacted him to repay a debt I owed him in the past, I felt like he would have flatly rejected me, saying it was unnecessary.
‘You’ve already earned so much that you don’t need any money.’
No matter how much I thought about it, there was nothing I could do to repay you.
That’s why I couldn’t call first for fear that Min Do-jun would cut me off and tell me not to contact him anymore.
But after a while.
As if to dispel these worries, I received a call from Min Do-jun.
-Hello. This is Min Do-jun. Are you the Baekryeon Guild Master?
“Ah, yes, Hunter Min Do-jun!”
-I don’t know if you remember, but a year ago you told me to let you know if I needed help.
“Yes, yes. That’s right. I remember.”
-I need help right now. Can I ask you a favor?
“Yes! Just say anything.”
After a while, Hong Se-yeon couldn’t help but feel embarrassed after hearing Min Do-jun’s request.
