Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Part 2 Episode 83
83. Giant Black Snail Reward
Choi Sung-min’s lifestyle was monotonous for a week.
In the morning, I worked with the face of Choi Sung-min, and in the afternoon, I went solo with the face of Song Chi-hyeon.
I just kept running around in the Swamp of Chaos, and thanks to that, I was able to raise my reflexes by 200 in a week.
The combat power has already exceeded 800,000.
Song Chi-hyun’s record of 600,000 people has long since been surpassed.
Although the upward trend has gradually slowed down, seeing the combat power still increasing, I was curious to see how high it would go.
Then, the boss suddenly appeared and Choi Sung-min was happy.
‘It was a bit difficult to catch mobs, so this is a good thing. I guess this guy can take some damage from me.’
The battle fought with that mindset ended in a rather insignificant ending, contrary to expectations.
[The giant black snail has been defeated!]
[You have obtained an S-class magic stone.]
[You have obtained an S-class magic stone.]
[You have obtained the essence of the black snail.]
[You have obtained an S-class dungeon entrance ticket.]
[You have acquired the Rune of Magic Resistance.]
‘To die so quickly… … What a disappointment.’
A boss that dies in 10 seconds.
Is the snail soft? Is it because it has become stronger?
‘I guess it’s the latter, but it’s still too weak… … .’
I decided to put my disappointment aside and check the items.
‘Two S-class magic stones have arrived.’
It is the best among A-class bosses because it spits out S-class magic stones.
‘Here, one will cost about 2 billion… … You made a lot of money?’
Of course, Choi Sung-min, who was not interested in money, was more interested in other items.
[Black snail essence]
-Category: Collections
– Grade: A
-Feature: Bound item
-Description: The essence of the black snail, known as the king of the swamp. It is so toxic that even smelling it is dangerous.
It was a collectible I had never seen before.
I’ve caught black snails once or twice in my life, but never once did I catch something like this.
‘Even sniffing is dangerous?’
It was in a flask so I couldn’t smell it, but its dark red color made it look dangerous.
‘Can I make poison with this?’
Seeing the description that it was toxic, it seemed possible.
As expected.
[You have used the poison making skill.]
[Please select the material you would like to use from the following.]
-Black snail essence x1
When you use the skill, it appears in the materials list as if it were nothing.
I tried making it right away.
[Manufacturing Success!]
[You have acquired 1 fatal poison.]
A poison I’ve never seen before has appeared.
[Death-Deadly Poisoning]
-Category: Consumables
-Rating: S
-Effect: Steals 1% of health per minute. The effect accelerates as the target moves. Lasts until health drops to 1%.
-Usage Restrictions: Those who have acquired the poison making skill
– Description: Apply a poison that can reduce stamina to the limit. The faster the target moves, the faster the stamina decreases. At the fastest, it decreases by 1% per second. It is not naturally detoxified until stamina reaches 1%. Once used on a target, it becomes resistant and no longer has any effect. Also, the effect does not overlap when used multiple times.
Until now, poisons were in the form of debuffs that weakened abilities.
‘This is also a debuff. That’s right… … .’
It effectively reduces your stamina to 1%.
In short, it means that anyone can be made into an ordinary person who would die if they were to be hit lightly.
‘It is a truly powerful poison that can even bring down an elephant in one fell swoop.’
The lethal poison that increases damage while reducing movement speed is also a terrible poison, but it cannot be compared to this.
‘While the poison wears off after 5 minutes, the deadly poison somehow reduces your health to 1%.’
It will take time, but there is no better poison to win for sure.
‘It’s better to use poison on especially strong enemies.’
I decided to save it for later and looked at the next item.
An S-class dungeon entrance ticket has been included.
‘With this, you can enter S-class dungeons regardless of rank.’
There is no need to be afraid of S-class dungeons when you can deal with even the highest-ranking A-class boss in 10 seconds.
I decided to enter the S-class dungeon later and checked the runes I had acquired.
[You have acquired the Rune of Magic Resistance.]
[Permanently increases magic resistance by 10%.]

[Rune Affinity trait is activated.]
[The effect of the Rune of Magic Resistance has been increased to 20%.]
‘Okay. This should help reduce some of the damage from magic.’
All items have been checked.
Now there was only one thing to worry about.
‘Which S-class dungeon should I go to?’
Even in the same S-class dungeon, the level difference was so vast that I couldn’t help but worry.
‘… … I think it would be better to go there.’
Seongmin Choi, who had decided on a destination, resumed hunting.
I was planning to quickly finish the raid and then go to the S-class dungeon, pulling out the bull’s horn in one go.
* * *
It was when Choi Seong-min, who had just finished his strategy, got into the car.
Deuuun- Deuuun-
My phone rang and I checked it, and Kwak Min-cheol’s name was on it.
Choi Sung-min answered the phone with Song Chi-hyeon’s face.
“Yes, Mr. Chairman.”
-Where are you?
It was understandable that he would have been flustered by the sudden question, but he answered calmly.
“I’m just outside for a moment.”
-Come to my room right now.
“All right.”
Choi Sung-min’s forehead wrinkled as he hung up the phone.
‘What’s going on?’
It was annoying that he called me without even telling me why, but I couldn’t help it.
Even though on the surface it seemed like they were on equal terms, Song Chi-hyeon was no different from Kwak Min-cheol’s subordinate.
‘The law of this world is that you have no choice but to bow to the strong… ‘
I had no choice but to drive back to the association.
The S-class dungeon had to be postponed.
Choi Seong-min arrived at the association president’s office in the guise of Song Chi-hyeon and knocked on the door.
dripping-
“Come in.”
When I went in, Kwak Min-cheol was standing there with his backpack on his back.
This is my second time seeing Kwak Min-cheol, but my first time seeing him as Song Chi-hyun.
“hey.”
The guy sets the mood with a commanding gaze.
It’s completely different from when I dealt with Choi Sung-min.
“What are you doing these days?”
“What are you talking about?”
“What are you doing out there all day?”
I tried to read his mind to figure out what he meant by the question, but soon gave up.
A partner who knows your characteristics and can freely control your thoughts.
There’s no point in reading it unless you know whether it’s true or not.
‘I don’t think you’re just trying to tease me because you’re hiding your thoughts. You probably already know and are asking on purpose.’
I told the dungeon manager to hide the records, but it was impossible to hide them completely.
If Kwak Min-cheol wanted to, he could find out what he was doing by following him.
In the end, Choi Sung-min decided to speak honestly.
“I went hunting.”
“… … .”
Kwak Min-cheol’s eyebrows twitched, as if he didn’t know he would be able to speak honestly.
“Why did you turn around?”
“I was bored and had nothing to do, so I wandered around.”
“f*ck, are you kidding me? What crazy kid would run dungeons for 12 hours straight because they’re bored? And a whole week!”
‘I guess you’ve been having your subordinates follow you around all this time.’
To be honest, it was a good thing.
If I had lied, they might have found fault with me for it.
“I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather lately. I’m a great hero, but it’s a bit odd to stay at A-class all the time.”
“What? Was growing up your goal in the end? What are you going to do after growing up? Are you going to stab me in the back of the head and stage a coup? Like you killed Yang Baek-du?”
“Why is the story progressing like that? A coup d’état?”
Boom-!
When Kwak Min-cheol hit the table next to him, it shattered into pieces.
“Are you acting like a fool in front of me right now? Even though I know full well that you were the one who killed Yang Baek-du?”
Despite the threatening gaze and actions, Choi Sung-min remained calm.
‘I guess I’ll have to bring in a new table again.’
I’m just worried about the table.
“You were the one who killed Team Crush recently. To destroy evidence regarding Yang Baek-du. Am I wrong?”
“Team Crush? What the heck are you talking about… .”
Bam-
Kwak Min-cheol ground his teeth, but that was it.
There was no direct hacking.
‘He knows that too. If there’s no solid evidence, hitting him is meaningless.’
More than anything, you’ll want to find evidence, if only for your pride’s sake.
That’s why I called you here to test yourself.
‘That means we haven’t found any evidence yet. It means we can act a little more confidently.’
Choi Sung-min smiled inwardly as he realized that it was not a disadvantageous situation.
“Hey, Song Chi-hyun.”
“Yes, Mr. Chairman.”
“What about all the subordinates? Why can’t I contact any of them except one?”
“I didn’t need anyone else. After individual consultations, I sent them all on vacation.”
“vacation?”
“Yes. I sent him far away to Westland.”
“Is that true? Do you have any proof?”
“There is no evidence. It was sent secretly so that there would be no record.”
“Why on earth did you do that? Did you send it because you were afraid that your subordinates would hold you back?”
“No way. I just took a vacation to say thank you for your hard work.”
“What the f*ck, you want me to believe that?”
“Believe it or not, I just told the truth.”
Even though he came out shamelessly, Kwak Min-cheol only glared at him and didn’t offer any rebuttal.
‘What are you going to do? I said so.’
Since the one without evidence was Kwak Min-cheol, there is no reason to bow your head.
Even if you act confidently, no one can say anything.
-송치현 이 X발 새끼.
It may be a curse that was meant to be heard, but Choi Sung-min’s mentality is not shaken by it.
“If you’ve asked all the questions you wanted to ask, can I go now? I have to hunt.”
“… … .”
“I will go, knowing that you have given me permission. Okay, that’s all for now.”
As soon as Choi Seong-min left the association president’s office, Kwak Min-cheol exploded with anger.
“Ah, like this?
Even though I threatened him, he didn’t even bat an eye, as if he had decided to come out shamelessly.
Then suddenly an idea occurred to me.
‘Really? The reason you’re coming out so shamelessly is because you erased all the evidence?’
If not, he wouldn’t be so confident.
‘What should we do? If that bastard Song Chi-hyun erased the evidence, there’s no way to execute him publicly, right?’
I have to just watch as the guy kills his own right arm and slowly builds up his power while plotting a coup.
Just thinking about it makes me so excited that I can’t sleep.
‘f*ck, we can’t just leave that kid like this. We have to come up with a plan.’
Kwak Min-cheol picked up his cell phone and made a call to someone.
I needed some reinforcements to discuss this with.
* * *
Choi Seong-min, who had safely passed Kwak Min-cheol’s interrogation, let out a sneer.
‘You might have thought of testing me since there’s no evidence, but it’s impossible.’
Even if he hid his thoughts, it was easy to guess his intentions.
But there were some unexpected aspects.
‘I didn’t know the hunt would be discovered this quickly.’
He tried to hide his hunting, but eventually he got caught.
Now that it has come to this, I can go hunting with Song Chi-hyun’s face on openly… … .
‘There’s no good in provoking Kwak Min-cheol, so I’ll have to be careful for the time being.’
It’s not that I’m taking a break from hunting.
If Song Chi-hyun can’t do it, then Choi Sung-min’s face will do it.
‘With Song Chi-hyun’s permission, you can solo and run the dungeon in your true form.’
If it is recorded and used frequently, people may say that it is an abuse of power, but it doesn’t matter.
‘Anyway, in three weeks the whole world will know about Song Chi-hyun’s death.’
I decided to use my power only until then.
Booooooo-
Seongmin Choi, who left the association, drove straight to an S-class dungeon.
I know where to go because I had marked it before I even got the ice rink.
It took about 1 hour and 30 minutes for Choi Seong-min to reach his destination and he returned to his original form.
Because there was no need to change the appearance.
‘Because the place I’m going to is a hidden dungeon.’
The entrance to the S-class hidden dungeon, the Well of the Sun, was right before my eyes.
