Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Episode 22
22. Set Effect
[The Armored Mantis has been defeated!]
[Experience +5,250] (Contribution 100%)
[Level up!]
[A D-class magic stone has appeared.]
[A D-class magic stone has appeared.]
[A sealed emerald ring has appeared.]
[The roulette is automatically spun according to the party rules.]
[The winner is Min Do-jun.]
Min Do-jun smiled slightly after seeing the notification.
Because I got the item I wanted.
[Sealed Emerald Ring]
-Category: Ring
– Grade: C
-Effect: Magic power +20, magic damage +5%
– Durability: 2,000/2,000
-Usage Restrictions: Level 150 or higher (Bound)
-Description: A beautiful and elegant emerald ring. Power is sealed in it.
A ring specialized in magical power, as opposed to the ruby ring.
This is the ultimate item that any wizard would wish for.
‘Because above all, the option to increase magic damage is a scam.’
The advantage is that it can be used effectively even at high levels because the damage increases as a percentage.
‘If I sell this, I’ll get at least 100 million won… … .’
The thing about the belonging item is that it was a trap, not a trap.
Because you couldn’t get it without hunting the boss directly.
That doesn’t mean the boss only drops this.
Getting the item you want also depends on luck.
‘But it came out all at once… … .’
Was it because there was a talisman?
I was lucky.
Because this was exactly the set item that Min Do-jun wanted.
‘Equipped.’
Min Do-jun wore a ruby ring and an emerald ring together.
Okay then.
[Set effect activates.]
[Applicable Items]
-Sealed Ruby Ring
-Sealed Emerald Ring
[Set Effect]
-All damage +5%
I was able to get the additional damage I was hoping for.
‘It’s okay.’
It was already strong, but it got even stronger.
‘Even if 5% seems small, it’s a significant number when converted into stats.’
If you think about it, it’s the same as having your strength and magic power increase by 20 each.
Moreover, since it is applied as a percentage, the increase becomes greater as the level goes up.
Despite these great options, people were unaware of the set effect.
It’s not that they aren’t there, but they are hard to find and there’s no reason to wear them together.
‘I need it because I’m the only one who uses strength and magic items together.’
Anyway, I got the item I wanted and also got two D-grade magic stones.
‘It was worth responding to the call for help.’
While Min Do-jun looked satisfied, Hyun Soo-ah had an expression of disbelief.
‘Wow, that’s ridiculous. Taking down the boss all by yourself… …!’
She knew the strength of the Armored Mantis better than anyone else.
Because I witnessed with my own eyes the sight of level 250 brothers being torn apart without being able to do anything.
‘But that man… … .’
I dealt with it without any difficulty.
At least that’s what it seemed to her.
‘It was so relaxing.’
There seemed to be no crisis.
He caught it without getting hit once, so he did the same.
‘How strong is it?’
Even seeing the armored Mantis disappear into smoke still didn’t feel real.
As he had boasted, Min Do-jun defeated the boss by himself.
I didn’t need any help from anyone else.
“Ms. Hyunsoo.”
“yes?”

“Don’t be so dumb, just go away.”
“Uh, where… … ?”
“Shouldn’t we finish the attack?”
Hyunsoo-ah opened the strategy window late.
-Strategy Achievement: 117/120 Mantises
-Time remaining: 7 minutes 48 seconds
‘Oh, when did this happen?’
The strategy is over once you catch just 3 of them.
It seemed like Min Do-jun caught a few while walking around.
But the remaining time was ambiguous.
“I don’t have time, can I help you?”
“No, there’s plenty of time. Just follow me.”
As Min Do-jun said that, Hyun Soo-ah followed him.
A little later.
Kiiiiit!
Three mantises appeared at the same time.
Hyunsoo-ah was surprised and took a defensive stance with her sword raised, but there was no need for her to do so.
Because the only thing the Mantises were after was Min Do-jun, who was in front of them.
Woohoo-
Min Do-jun, who had applied a buff in advance, swung his sword while avoiding the attack.
Crunch-
Kiik!
Wheeze-
Crunch-!
Kiiiiit!
There was a brief exchange of words.
Bam-
All the mantises with their heads cut off turned into smoke and disappeared.
[Experience +350] (Contribution 100%)
[Experience +350] (Contribution 100%)
[Experience +350] (Contribution 100%)
Min Do-jun, who saw the experience, made a dissatisfied expression.
‘Since I’m not solo, I don’t have much experience.’
On the other hand, Hyun Soo Ah looked at Min Do Jun with a shocked expression.
‘To think I could defeat three of them so easily… … .’
Although he had put in so much effort to kill even one, the man in front of him didn’t even take a few seconds.
‘I wasn’t seeing things wrong.’
I still couldn’t believe that I had caught the boss, but after seeing Min Do-jun’s skills, it finally felt real.
[The attack was successful!]
[Dungeon break time is reset to 120 hours!]
[Achievement achieved!]
‘achievements?’
Min Do-jun immediately checked the achievement he had never imagined possible.
[Achievement – Quick Rescue Agent!]
-Condition: Successfully complete the mission within 30 minutes after responding to the request for help.
-Reward: Stat Points +1
‘This is something I never expected.’
I didn’t know there was an achievement related to asking for help.
Even in my previous life, I rarely responded to requests for help.
‘It’s okay.’
When Min Do-jun was satisfied with the various benefits, Hyun Soo-ah approached him.
“I am Min Do-jun.”
“What’s going on?”
She bowed her head deeply.
“Thank you so much for your help. Thanks to you, I was able to conquer it safely.”
Honestly, she didn’t even think about conquering it.
I just hoped that I could save my life even if I had to take the penalty.
But, to succeed in conquering it without any penalty, let alone losing one’s life.
‘It’s all thanks to Min Do-jun.’
I never thought that someone with such overwhelming power would help me.
I guess that says it all, I wasn’t expecting you to ask for help.
“I never thought I would say this in my life… … but you are my savior. Thank you so much.”
“I was just doing what I had to do, what the heck.”
Hyunsooah thought as she watched Min Dojun speaking casually.
It is said that a strong person has a great personality.
[After a while, we return to the original world.]
The two people safely escaped the dungeon.
* * *
There was a person who was looking only at the dungeon entrance with anxious eyes.
It was Bae Seong-hun, the manager of the Platinum Guild.
‘Why isn’t it coming out… … .’
I looked at my watch and saw that there were only 5 minutes left.
I was already anxious, but I became even more anxious.
‘I hope you’re safe… … .’
Among the three who entered the dungeon, there was someone who hoped for Bae Seong-hoon to come out.
‘Su-ah, please stay alive!’
It was none other than Hyun Soo Ah.
Because she was his lover who he had been dating for over three months.
‘I don’t need anyone else. Suah, I just need you to live!’
Did his earnest wish come true?
After a while, two people walked out of the dungeon.
“Hey, Su-ah!”
As he wished, Hyunsoo-ah came out alive.
Bae Seong-hoon ran to her and hugged her tightly.
“You’re alive after all! I knew it!”
“Hey, let go of this… … !”
Hyunsooah pushed away Bae Seonghoon, who was jumping for joy.
Bae Seong-hoon made a bewildered expression.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy to see me?”
“I understand how you feel, but right now is not the time for that.”
“ah…….”
Only then did Bae Seong-hoon understand the mood after being stabbed in the neck.
There are two dead people, and he shows off his love for them too much.
“sorry.”
“You don’t have to feel sorry for me.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Bae Seong-hoon, who had been looking embarrassed, soon turned his gaze to Min Do-jun.
“Thank you, Hunter. Thanks to you, our Su-ah is alive. In fact, we’ve only been dating for three months. It was a time of great affection… … .”
“Oh, brother! Why are you talking about that?”
When Hyunsoo Ah was beating him with a red face, Sunghoon Bae smiled as if he found even that cute.
“So what?”
“Are you two dating?”
When Park Dong-yoon intervened, Bae Seong-hoon spoke proudly.
“Haha, yes. Isn’t that unusual? A guild manager and a hunter dating?”
Min Do-jun didn’t seem to be particularly unusual.
Because he had a similar experience.
And I didn’t care.
No matter what other people’s love stories are like.
“Sua. What happened inside?”
“Ah, that’s… … .”
Hyunsooah explained what happened in the dungeon.
The Armored Mantis appeared, and Min Do-jun saved him from dying while running away.
“If Min Do-jun hadn’t shown up then, I would have really died.”
“Thank you again, Hunter, for saving Su-ah.”
“Ah, yes.”
Min Do-jun was now feeling burdened by Bae Seong-hoon, who kept greeting him.
“And then? You two went out to catch the remaining Mantis?”
Hyunsoo-ah shook her head at Bae Seong-hoon’s question.
“No? I see that the dungeon break has been reset, so I think you cleared it?”
“That was the last one, I caught the boss before that.”
“What? Boss?”
“Yeah. I stayed still and Min Do-jun was alone.”
“What does that mean?”
“It’s true. Min Do-jun caught the boss all by himself.”
Bae Seong-hoon looked at Min Do-jun with eyes of disbelief.
“Did you really catch it by yourself?”
“yes.”
Unlike Min Do-jun, who spoke dryly, Bae Seong-hoon’s eyes grew wide as if they were going to pop out.
Park Dong-yoon was also surprised.
It was the first time I heard of someone solo-killing a boss since the King’s Horned Rabbit.
Moreover, the Armored Mantis is a boss on a completely different level from the Giant Horned Rabbit.
He was never the type of boss that could be taken down alone.
“Hunter! You’re really amazing! Killing the boss solo!”
Park Dong-yoon chattered excitedly.
Bae Sung-hoon still had a look of disbelief on his face.
“Even if a C-class is present, it’s hard to catch the Armored Mantis. How on earth…?”
“I told you, you’re lucky. Our hunter is just like that.”
Park Dong-yoon shrugged his shoulders and lowered his voice as if telling a secret.
“Shall I tell you something even more surprising? Our hunter isn’t even level 200 yet.”
“yes?”
Hyunsoo was even more surprised after hearing the level.
“Is that all there is to it?”
“It’s 193, to be exact.”
At Min Do-jun’s words, the two people looked beyond surprised and dumbfounded.
“Sua, he’s 60 years younger than you… … ?”
“Oh, really? I thought you were at least level 400… … .”
In fact, even at level 400, it was difficult to defeat the Armored Mantis alone.
“It’s true that you’re stronger than ever. Thank you again, Hunter!”
“Stop thanking me.”
When Bae Seong-hoon bent his back, Min Do-jun made a look of disgust.
“Hunter, I would like to give you a gift as a token of my appreciation, but I am not in a position to do so right now. I apologize.”
“it’s okay.”
It wasn’t like I was expecting material things or helping out.
If that’s the case, I’ve already gotten enough of them in the dungeon.
“But since you saved our Su-ah’s life, I can’t send you away empty-handed. I’ll ask the guild leader to prepare a gift for you. It’s almost like our guild owes you something.”
“hmm…….”
Bae Seong-hoon pretended to think for a moment and put his hands together.
“Please give our guild a chance to repay you!”
Min Do-jun nodded his head, pretending to be defeated by the earnest request.
“It’s not polite to refuse… … Okay, I understand.”
“Thank you! Then, could you please give me your contact information? I will ask the guild leader and send you a text message.”
So Min Do-jun exchanged numbers and broke up.
And then a few hours later, a text arrived.
[Hunter Min Do-jun! Our guild master would be happy to repay your favor. If it’s okay, could you come to the guild the day after tomorrow morning? He said he can’t meet you tomorrow because there’s a funeral scheduled, but he wants to meet you the day after tomorrow. The guild master said he really wants to meet you and has prepared a gift you won’t regret, so if you could spare some time, I would be grateful!]
[All right.]
Min Do-jun raised the corners of his mouth as he replied briefly.
It wasn’t because I was looking forward to the gift the guild leader had prepared.
‘Jung Tae-sik. I guess I’ll be able to meet that kid.’
It was because of the anticipation of meeting the next hunter I had to kill.
