Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Episode 53
53. Clark, the Summoner of Death
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Heeeeeeek!
The hunt went smoothly.
It was quickly taken care of by killing them in one shot with Fire Blast or sending Ghost Wolves out in front.
‘There’s no need to use the afterlife, right?’
The Lion King wasn’t just taught to use on Banshees.
Even ghosts are affected by the afterlife.
However, it seems that there is no problem in holding it even if you don’t use it specifically.
‘I think it would be better to use it when there are more people gathered together… … .’
I was searching the forest with that thought in mind.
Hehehehehe-
Heeheeheehe-
I found a gathering of various types of ghosts.
The number is roughly about twenty.
‘bingo.’
It was exactly the picture I wanted.
Tadadot!
Min Do-jun fearlessly ran into the middle of the ghosts.
The ghosts greeted their prey with claws raised as if they were delighted to see it running towards them on its own feet.
Taat!
Min Do-jun, who jumped high, fell into the middle of the enemy lines.
yet.
“K-heh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-!!!”
As soon as the lion’s roar was heard, the twenty ghosts all crumpled their expressions.
Keeheeeeeek!
Heheheeeeeek!
‘It’s now.’
Min Do-jun swung his sword wherever he could.
Crunch! Crunch-!
With each swing, the ghosts would shatter into pieces and disappear.
Before, I didn’t feel like I was cutting, but after using the lion’s mane, I felt a definite sense of relief.
‘If you use Lion’s Wrath, you will take physical damage for a while.’
With the added physical damage, it was much easier to catch than before.
That was the reason why ghosts were easily defeated.
Moreover, they seemed to be mentally shocked and could not fight back properly.
Crunch- Crunch!
The ghosts fell down one by one from the attack that added physical damage.
[Experience +10,800]
[Experience +16,200]
[Experience +13,500]
[Level up!]
It only took 15 seconds to catch twenty of them.
‘As expected, catching them one at a time isn’t enough.’
It was frustrating to have to catch them one or two at a time, but I felt relieved when I caught them all in a group like this.
‘I wish there were more guys like this… … .’
Now it was time to go.
Because the time limit was approaching.
‘There’s only an hour left, should we go?’
Min Do-jun, who had stopped hunting, ran to the shrine.
As I passed by, I saw ghosts and ran quickly, occasionally catching them.
Thanks to hunting for 5 hours straight, Min Do-jun’s level had become 775.
When you enter the dungeon, your level is 750, so you’ve leveled up by 25.
‘Is this it?’
As we entered the shrine in the center of Ghost Island, there was an altar that looked suspicious at first glance.
Min Do-jun took out the jewels from his inventory and placed them on the altar.
Then, the jewels that would not have reacted at all if it had been a ghost island in another country began to glow and disappear.
‘Okay!’
yet.
Wheeeeeeeeing-
“Ugh… … .”
The wind blew around the altar and pushed Min Do-jun far away.
‘I tried to attack as soon as it appeared, but it didn’t work?’
The smoke rising from the altar took shape and a magician with piercing eyes appeared.
‘It’s him!’
Clark.
The one and only named boss on Ghost Island has appeared.

[Who dares to call me?]
Min Do-jun wasn’t surprised when Clark spoke and it was interpreted naturally.
Because I knew from experience that the humanoid named bosses can speak language and that any Awakened can understand them.
‘But they don’t understand what I’m saying.’
Min Do-jun, who knew that the conversation could not be established, did not respond to the guy’s words.
I just sit there and stare at the information window that pops up to reveal the weakness.
[Death Summoner Clark]
-Description: A named boss that only appears on Ghost Island. It protects itself with a strong defensive barrier.
-Battle style: Push away approaching enemies with wind magic and summon skeleton soldiers to fight. Swing your staff when they get close.
-Weaknesses: Limited mana, head
Although he knew the strategy, Min Do-jun was glad to see the information.
‘If the information is visible, then it must be worth catching.’
Woohoo-
I buffed my weapons and prepared them to fight at any time.
I could tell when the wind cleared and Clark came down to the ground.
Now you can attack.
Taat!
Min Do-jun ran confidently.
[What a jerk!]
As Clark waved his staff, a wave of wind swept over Min Do-jun.
But as expected, his body had already jumped into the air.
Hwarrrrrr-
In that state, he struck Clark’s face with the summoned Fire Blast.
Phew!
Was it because he was holding a sword?
Clarke, who didn’t know how to use magic, failed to deploy a shield and was covered in flames.
[Ugh, you idiot! Come out! My power… … .]
Clark, who was backing away, stopped reciting the spell and quickly put up a defensive barrier.
This is because Min Do-jun, who had come right up to me, swung his sword.
Thump-!
Even though his attacks were blocked by the shield, Min Do-jun did not stop attacking.
Thud- thud- thud!
As I swung the sword around carelessly, thinking that if I knocked, it would open, cracks began to appear in the barrier.
[Get out of here!]
A gust of wind came at the same time as Clark’s shout.
This time, even Min Do-jun couldn’t avoid it and was pushed backwards.
[Come out, my people!]
As Clark struck the ground with his staff, a thud came out, accompanied by smoke and armored soldiers.
Clark’s specialty was summoning skeleton soldiers.
‘flea.’
Even though ten summoned creatures appeared, there was no sign of fear on Min Do-jun’s face.
If it was a summoned beast, I had that with me too.
‘Hey, let’s do this together.’
[king!]
Min Do-jun and Ao ran and slaughtered the skeleton soldiers.
Crunch- Crunch!
The soldiers fell quickly like fallen leaves.
Unlike ghosts, they were much easier to catch because they took physical damage.
‘Take care of the summons before Clark.’
Normally, it would have targeted the caster rather than the summoned creature, but for now, it was impossible to penetrate Clark’s defenses.
‘You have to keep summoning them to make them use mana.’
Since Clark’s shield is based on mana, it would be easier to deal with if he kept using mana.
Crunch-!
Boom!
The head of the helmeted skeleton soldier fell to the ground.
He was the last skeleton soldier.
It’s a summoned beast, so it doesn’t give experience points, but it’s killed without leaving a trace.
Clark’s bewildered look was seen.
[Damn it! Come out, my people!]
This time, twice as many soldiers showed up.
‘It would be nice if the Lion’s Wrath worked on skeleton soldiers too.’
This time, Min Do-jun focused his efforts on killing the summons rather than targeting Clark.
Clark summoned a third group of soldiers in quick succession.
It was a huge number, reaching 30.
But it only took Min Do-jun 30 seconds to deal with them.
[Oh, this can’t be happening. My followers… … .]
Clark looked puzzled as his summons failed to inflict any damage.
‘I think I’ve drained enough mana.’
Min Do-jun, who had fixed his sword, ran out at the same time as he fired a fire blast.
Phew-!
[Ugh.]
Clark groaned as he was scattered by the shield, but he was weaker than before.
Thud-! Thud!
Min Do-jun, who was close by, broke the barrier.
Tsk tsk- Tsk tsk-
[You f*cking bastard!]
Clark unleashed another blast of mana.
Min Do-jun, who seemed to be being pushed away, held on and clung to me again.
‘It’s definitely weaker than before.’
Min Do-jun swung his sword with all his might.
Thud-! Thud!
Thud-! Thud!
Clark had a hard time against Min Do-jun because he used up his mana in a short period of time.
Jea-aeng!
Finally, the barrier broke and Min Do-jun’s sword tore Clark’s skin.
WHACK-!
[Kwaaak!]
Clark screamed and swung his staff, but there was no way he, a wizard, could hit Min Do-jun.
‘It’s the end now!’
He dodged the staff lightly and then drew his sword.
Crunch-!
Clark’s neck snapped off.
Although it was a somewhat meaningless death, Min Do-jun did not let his guard down.
Because no experience points were gained.
Swish-
Smoke rose from Clark’s body.
Before I even realized what was happening.
Wheeeeeeeeing-
“Ouch.”
A strong wind pushed Min Do-jun far away.
‘Are we entering phase 2?’
Clark’s body, engulfed in smoke, slowly rose.
The severed neck was reattached, but the skin rapidly aged and eventually rotted away.
I myself was resurrected as an undead.
[Khuuuuuu… … .]
Clark, who had lost his wits and was crying like an animal, raised his hand.
The fallen cane clung to his hand.
Kuung!
I hit the ground with my staff and this time ghost soldiers were summoned.
‘This is becoming a nuisance.’
Ghost soldiers, unlike skeleton soldiers, were not affected by physical damage.
I sighed, but it wasn’t something to worry about.
Because he had a trump card called the Lion King.
[Khaa!]
As Clark pointed his staff as if to tell them to kill him, the ghost soldiers charged at once.
Min Do-jun ran towards them and dug into the middle of the enemy lines.
“K-heh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-!!!”
After paralyzing the ghosts, he immediately ran to Clark.
As if there was no need to worry about things like summons.
‘There’s no need to kill the summons from Phase 2 onwards. The shield is broken so just target Clark.’
Hwaruruk-
A sword imbued with fire element cut Clark’s chest.
Whaaaaa-
I wondered if the damage was properly done as it felt like cutting through tough leather, but my doubts were quickly put to rest when I saw Clark’s reaction.
[Ugh!]
Clark swung his cane in protest, as if he was in a lot of pain.
Phew- Phew-!
He dodged lightly and wounded Clark all over his body.
Because they were undead, their bodies were tough and they didn’t die easily.
[Kuaaaah!]
As Clark screamed, his body burst into flames.
“Ugh.”
I quickly stepped back, but the flames still spread like wildfire, burning my skin.
At that moment, paralyzed ghost soldiers entered Min Do-jun’s field of vision.
Crunch- crunch!
Let’s change the target abruptly and kill the ghost soldiers.
[Target’s corpse has been absorbed.]
[Your stamina is restored.]
The blistered skin slowly regenerated and soon returned to a clean state.
‘The Vitality Recovery trait is helpful in this situation.’
The reason I was able to hunt ghosts for nearly 5 hours without getting tired was because of my stamina recovery.
‘I didn’t know it could absorb incorporeal ghosts, though.’
Min Do-jun, who had regained his stamina, clung to Clark again.
The result of dodging attacks and repeating dozens of sword strikes.
[Khuuuu, slurp… … euhh… … slurp… … .]
After leaving a will while stammering, he disappeared into smoke.
[Death Summoner Clark has been defeated!]
[Skill Book: Acquired Ghost Wolf Summon.]
[You have obtained the Ghost Mask.]
[You have acquired the Ghost Sword.]
[Achievement achieved!]
