Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 186
186. Blood Witch Bathory
‘What happened?’
Theodore sends a curse at himself?
‘Could it be that the assassin’s true identity was Theodore?’
Min Do-jun immediately shook his head.
‘That can’t be. The locations were different.’
Theodore was not in the place where it first felt like living.
So then why did Theodore suddenly send for life?
Theodore, who had been glaring at me with murderous eyes, smiled faintly.
“You are now dead. This body has been successfully possessed. Hohohohoho!”
Then suddenly he covers his mouth and bursts into laughter.
Min Do-jun thought as he watched Theodore laughing like a woman with a rough voice.
‘Are you crazy?’
But soon I changed my mind.
‘It said in the message that came to mind a little while ago that you were trying to conjure up a spirit.’
Blood Witch Bathory casted Possession.
‘But the strong mental trait nullified the spell.’
Immediately after that, Theodore became strange.
‘Judging by that, perhaps he tried to possess me and then failed, so he tried it on Theodore? That’s the result if it succeeded.’
Min Do-jun looked at Theodore.
The way he laughed heartily definitely made him look like a different person.
At that time, Theodore’s information, which seemed to have detected weaknesses, changed.
[Bathory, the Blood Witch who possessed Theodore Townsend]
– Description: A named boss that only appears on Vampire Night. As a spirit, it only appears through possession. It is usually possessed by an ancient vampire.
-Battle style: Fights using the memories of the possessed target. If at a disadvantage, turns into a spirit and runs away.
-Weakness: If you die during the ice spell, your spirit body also dies.
‘also……!’
The hypothesis that Theodore was possessed was correct.
‘Blood Witch Bathoryra… … . Just by looking at the name, she’s a named boss?’
In S-class dungeons, there is a slim chance that a named boss will appear.
‘But this is the first time I’ve heard the name Bathory.’
I have never heard of such a boss even before the regression.
‘Could it be that this boss doesn’t even know me?’
As a hunter with 10 years of experience, Min Do-jun knew most of the information, but he couldn’t say for sure that he knew everything.
‘Just as there are hidden achievements that I don’t know about, there may be named bosses that I don’t know about.’
If someone captures a named boss and doesn’t reveal the information, then naturally others will not know of its existence.
‘To think I’d meet a named boss in a place like this… … .’
Min Do-jun looked at Theodore.
‘Isn’t it the best?’
A smile came to my face at the unexpected good fortune.
Theodore suddenly frowned at the sight.
“How dare you, a lowly human, laugh in front of me? Are you out of your mind?”
At those words, Min Do-jun wiped his smile and looked interested.
‘The monster speaks… … .’
It’s not surprising that the named boss says this.
Didn’t Clark, the Death Summoner we caught on Ghost Island, say something?
But the conversation didn’t go through.
‘The fact that he’s speaking isn’t the only thing that’s amazing. What’s really amazing is that he’s speaking English.’
Most named bosses speak in a language that is automatically interpreted as a system message.
But Bathory was different.
‘Anyone can tell that he’s speaking English.’
Given the circumstances, it may be that he is reading Theodore’s memories and writing in English naturally.
‘The important thing is that the conversation might work.’
A conversation with a monster.
Isn’t this something that no one in history has ever attempted?
‘Maybe not the first, though.’
What is certain is that opportunities like this do not come often.
Min Do-jun asked with an expectant look.
“Who are you?”
“Me? Hehe, isn’t that your colleague, Theodore Townsend?”
“You know how to trick a monster… …. As expected of a boss, you’re intelligent.”
“What are you saying? You lowly human being.”
“Bathory. Is that your name?”
Bathory looked slightly surprised at those words.
“Wow, a lowly human knows my name. How unexpected.”
“Did you try to possess my body?”
“To think you knew that… … . I’ve been watching you since you came here, but you’re definitely not an ordinary person.”

‘You saw it when you entered the dungeon?’
When I heard that, an incident suddenly came to mind.
‘I felt alive not long after entering the dungeon. Could it be that…?’
Min Do-jun asked.
“Were you the one who sent me a life sentence when I entered the dungeon?”
“Dungeon? I guess that’s what humans call this place?”
“Answer me.”
“You’re a guy who feels good about living, but has no sense. Haha.”
It didn’t answer for sure, but it was enough.
‘It wasn’t the assassin who sent the killing blows in the beginning, but this guy?’
I thought a party member had sent me to kill him, but it seems there was simply a Batory among the party members.
‘From the way you speak, it seems like you already know that I can sense life… … .’
I’m not sure, but I said it as if I noticed it to elicit an answer.
“You bastard, you were targeting us from the entrance of the dungeon.”
“Haha, you must have felt the need to live a long time ago, but you only realized it now.”
“Was that your intention to attack me? Then, when you felt that I was alive, you took a step back?”
“Oh. So he really is a smart guy.”
“What do you plan to do by possessing a human body?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“Is it food?”
Bathory was surprised by Min Do-jun’s guess.
“Oh, how did you know?”
“Isn’t that obvious? There’s only one reason why you monsters target humans.”
Min Do-jun guessed that the reason there were so many deaths in the Russian dungeon was because of Bathory.
‘Probably they were periodically missing humans.’
The reason why one in ten people don’t come back alive every time is probably because Bathory took them for food.
‘When the hunters enter the dungeon, they will possess the weaklings and take them away with one excuse or another.’
After possessing its prey, it would have moved its body to take care of business for a while.
‘The location is probably the boss room of the castle where the ancient vampires are.’
According to the information revealed through the weakness detection, the guy’s true nature is said to be an ancient vampire.
‘It can’t eat its own body while it’s still frozen, so it probably went back to its original form and ate.’
That is, it could be inferred that he had been possessed in order to bring prey to his own living room.
‘Is this how they pick off people one by one when they can’t find the boss room?’
Or maybe you’re just hoping you never find the boss room.
Even if they are named bosses, it would be burdensome to deal with ten hunters at the same time.
‘The general puzzle is solved, but what happened to that?’
In the place Min Do-jun was looking, eight party members were passed out.
‘Why did the party members attack? Did Bathory put a mind control spell on them all?’
What is certain is that the party members are perceived as monsters rather than people.
‘Theodore is the same.’
Perhaps because of Bathory’s possession, Theodore was also recognized as a monster by the presence detection.
“Bathori. Are those fallen party members your doing?”
“Huh, do you think I would tell that to a human?”
“The monster that lives on a human body.”
“What, what?”
Bathory’s eyebrows furrowed in embarrassment.
“This noble body of mine is wasting its time on you, a lowly person! You should know that it is an honor that we have been able to talk to you up until now!”
“f*ck you.”
“… … !”
When he showed his middle finger, Bathory’s face turned red and blue.
“This, this brainless bastard… …!”
“It’s certain that they share human memories.”
Min Do-jun, who had been speaking calmly, suddenly became serious.
There was something I wanted to ask the monster before I spoke to him.
“What are the identities of you monsters?”
“What?”
“Why are you invading Earth?”
“under!”
Bathory frowned as if he found it ridiculous.
“Who invaded whom? Aren’t you humans the ones who are invading our territory?”
“… … .”
It was true, considering that dungeons are the domain of monsters.
‘So does that mean that the dungeons on Earth weren’t created by their will?’
If it had been an invasion, only dungeons would have been created, and the alternative called Awakened would not have been created.
at that time.
thud-
Bathory slammed the hammer into the floor.
“You human. How long are you going to keep talking?”
Phew- Phew-
Bathory swung his hammer and released his body.
“The fun is over. Come on.”
“You want to fight me?”
“Will we just fight? I will kill and eat you.”
You could tell it was sincere just by looking at the murderous intent that was emanating from it.
“Didn’t you share Theodore’s memories?”
“But?”
“And you still want to fight me?”
If it’s Theodore, you’ll know when you see it.
How strong Min Do-jun is.
“Is there any reason why I shouldn’t fight you?”
But it seems that Bathory has no memories of Min Do-jun.
“Is it possible that you can’t read recent memories?”
“… … You’re really good at guessing things like that.”
‘So that’s why you were so confident.’
Min Do-jun nodded.
‘If I have to fight, then there’s nothing I can do.’
However, the intention is not to kill them, but to take care of them appropriately.
No matter how much you tried, the other party member was an innocent party member.
‘Maybe I’ll get a few hits and break free from the spell.’
With that in mind, Min Do-jun approached.
Without even holding the Ghost Sword in your hand.
“You filthy human. Don’t you even carry a weapon?”
Bathory snickered at the bare-handed Min Do-jun.
“Ah, I see. You seem to have given up because you were scared by my momentum. But it’s already too late.”
Taat!
“I’m going to throw you in the towel for being rude earlier!”
Bathory, who had been hitting the ground, swung his hammer.
The gold surrounding the hammer suggested that it was not a simple attack.
‘It looks like you can read memories and use skills as well.’
Either way, the result won’t be different.
Booooooo-
The hammer passed over Min Do-jun’s spot, cutting through the air fiercely.
Kwakwakwakwang!
The trees behind were swept away by the golden shockwave.
“Where did this guy go… … .”
“The attack power is strong, but the accuracy is terrible.”
Bathory swung his hammer at the sound of a voice from behind him.
Boohoo! Boohoo!
It was a skill called Double Smash that struck consecutively, but it also failed to reach Min Do-jun.
“It’s slow.”
“profit!”
Boohoo- Boohoo- Boom-
I swung the hammer with all the skills I had.
Phew-!
“Ugh!”
There was no way he could hit Min Do-jun, who had a reflex power of 6,400 and also had the kinetic vision trait.
Thud- Thud-!
One shot in the face, one shot in the stomach.
Turn around, trip him, and kick him in the chin once.
As he was beaten with just enough force to prevent death, groans continuously leaked from Bathory’s mouth.
“Even if you’re possessed, do you still feel pain?”
“Keuhuuugh… … How dare this guy… … .”
“Please come out of my colleague’s body quickly.”
Bam-!
When Min Do-jun was about to finish off Bathory, who was rolling on the floor after missing the hammer with one punch,
Swish-
A cloud of steam rose above Theodore’s head and took the shape of a man.
[Blood Witch Bathory (spiritual body)]
The figure that had been floating in the air for a moment disappeared as if running away.
‘Did you miss it?’
I didn’t feel any regret.
Because I had an idea where he might have gone.
