Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Episode 57
57. King Nutria Dungeon
I didn’t even cast a spell.
I just put two buffs on the sword.
‘Are you crazy?’
I was surprised by the damage being stronger than I expected, but it made sense.
The weapon itself is A-class, and its current magic power is close to 1,400.
‘That’s good.’
Anything that can be hunted quickly is welcome.
‘Hey, remember that guy I just knocked down?’
[king!]
‘Track a scent similar to those guys.’
[The summoner used a tracking skill.]
[The summoner remembered the smell.]
[Detects location in real time.]
When I used the tracking skill that I had only used on people on a monster, a new notification popped up.
[Multiple targets were explored.]
[Distance to nearest target 42m]
‘The tracking skill is convenient.’
Now there is no need to waste time looking for monsters.
All you have to do is go straight in the direction the skill is pointing.
Of course, I didn’t plan on catching them one by one.
‘Hey, you can drive them towards me by hitting them one by one. Just about 20 of them. You’re faster than them, so you should be able to drive them back without getting hurt.’
[king!]
As the ghost wolf that received the order ran through the air, Min Do-jun moved.
‘While my brother is out hunting, I have to hunt on my own.’
Min Do-jun hunted the giant nutria using his tracking skills.
Choaaaak-!
Kuung-!
It was a single hit, without a doubt, showing how much damage was done when the buff was applied.
When I was catching about twenty of them.
Boom-boom-boom-boom-!
There was a sound like the ground was shaking like an earthquake.
That too was getting closer and closer.
My brother brought exactly twenty of them.
[Wow!]
‘Yeah, good job, brother! Now leave it to me.’
Min Do-jun, who had given her a light compliment, smiled and ran over.
The nutrias running towards him in a herd seemed not to be scared and quickly dove into the group.
For him, who could kill someone in one shot, they were at best just a bunch of experience points.
Chooah! Chooah!
Boom- Boom-!
Hwarururuk-! Phuang!
A massacre occurred.
He quickly defeated them, even using magic.
[Experience +8,400]
[Experience +8,400]
[Experience +8,400]
As soon as he was cut, the giant nutria turned into smoke.
It took less than 30 seconds to sort through twenty of them.
‘Haha, at this rate I’ll be level 1000 in no time.’
The dungeon’s objective is to capture 200 King Nutria.
I caught 40 of them in about 10 minutes, so I could finish them in less than an hour.
Min Do-jun started hunting again without hiding his joy.
* * *
Park Dong-yoon, who had been waiting in the car, lay down on the seat.
I was thinking of taking a nap while Min Do-jun went hunting.
‘It’ll take some time to catch 200 of them, right?’
It also took about 3 hours to catch 200 red-billed egrets.
I think we’ll probably attack at a similar pace this time too.
So I set the alarm and fell asleep… … .
dripping-
I woke up with a start to the sound of knocking on the car window.
“Huh? Hey, Hunter Min Do-jun?”
“You must be tired.”
Min Do-jun, who was smiling, got into the back seat.
“Oh, sorry. I set the alarm and slept, but it didn’t work… … .”
Park Dong-yoon’s eyes grew wide as he checked the time.

“Huh? You came in less than an hour and you’re already out?”
“Yes. It ended a little early. Please find the next dungeon right away.”
“Oh… … Okay, I see.”
Park Dong-yoon tapped his tablet with a bewildered expression.
“Huh… …? You came out so quickly that there are no empty seats. What should I do?”
“There’s nothing I can do. I have no choice but to mix in with the party.”
“Okay, then I’ll take you to the fastest place.”
The two moved to the next location.
* * *
King Nutria Dungeon located in Cheonmasan.
In front of the entrance, three hunters and a manager were waiting for their turn, smoking cigarettes.
“Manager, how many minutes are left?”
“Just wait 10 minutes and it’ll be out.”
“But there are kids who use up the entire 6-hour time limit?”
“X gods. Just how weak are they…?”
“The three of us can conquer it, tsk tsk.”
They were a B-rank hunter team from a mid-tier guild called the Dawn Guild, and were famous for working well together within the guild.
Therefore, dungeons that require four people to clear could easily be cleared by three people.
This was the case with the King Nutria Dungeon.
“What was our record yesterday?”
“4 hours and 33 minutes.”
“This time, should we try to cut it a bit earlier and do it in 4 hours?”
“Hehehe, Manager. What will you do for us if we come out within 4 hours?”
“What can I do for you? Just don’t push yourself too hard and hunt safely like you always did.”
“Tch, that’s not fun.”
The grumbling hunters stubbed out their cigarettes and prepared to go in.
“Are the three of you hunting together today too?”
“I guess so, seeing as there’s only 5 minutes left?”
“Okay, let’s set a new record among ourselves today… … .”
At that moment, as a vehicle approached the entrance, the hunters’ faces darkened.
“Ah… … I think someone came?”
“Oh my, if other people come along, it’ll just be a nuisance.”
“The record has gone overboard.”
The person in charge got out of the car and approached us with the hunter.
“Hello. I am Park Dong-yoon, the Ilsan branch manager. I am here to host a party, and this is our hunter.”
“This is Min Do-jun.”
The hunters nodded their heads with indifferent expressions at Min Do-jun’s greeting.
A look as if looking at an intruder.
The manager, as always, spoke on behalf of the guild members.
“Hello. I am Sangmin Oh, the manager of the Saebyeok Guild, and these are the members of our guild. Let me introduce you to each of you. Hunter Seunghyun Kim is a level 1,001 swordsman and tanker, and Hunter Dongwoo Lee is… … .”
It was a conversation about level and position, but Min Do-jun didn’t really pay attention.
‘What rude people.’
Even A-class hunters do their own introductions.
Because that was the minimum courtesy maintained in the hunter industry.
But, giving a cursory greeting and leaving the introduction to the manager was no different from ignoring the other person.
“… … is that. How is the hunter over there?”
“Ah, our hunter… … .”
“Level 783. Swordsman, melee dealer.”
Min Do-jun answered briefly and simply.
But the aftereffects were not small.
“A magician? Was there such a job?”
“Yes. That piece of trash that needs to be raised by dividing strength and magic power… … .”
The hunters told me to speak quietly, but I heard everything.
However, Min Do-jun didn’t show any particular reaction.
If he hadn’t known about the magic swordsman, he would have reacted negatively as well.
Then, after the time limit passed, four hunters walked out of the dungeon.
“Ah, I just need to catch two more… … !”
It looks like he couldn’t catch all 200 within the time limit.
“Let’s go in now.”
The guild members headed to the dungeon.
Min Do-jun also followed them silently.
[Cheonmasan King Nutria Dungeon]
-Difficulty: B
-Number of people: 4
-Entry Restriction: Level 750 or higher
-Goal: Destroy 200 King Nutria
-Failure Penalty: Destroy 1 item randomly
-Time limit: 6 hours
– Time left until dungeon break: 51 hours, 21 minutes, 33 seconds
One of the guild members said as they put on their gear before entering.
“You said Mr. Min Do-jun, right? The three of us have been working together for quite some time. We were originally planning to go in alone.”
‘So what do you want me to do?’
Are you being a nuisance?
Min Do-jun listened quietly.
“Since you are the lowest level, please follow our instructions as much as possible. Don’t step forward and create dangerous situations. If you want to party with us, just follow these instructions.”
“… … .”
I wasn’t even asking for your opinion.
It was just a notice to follow their words.
Min Do-jun was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t even respond.
Let’s get all geared up and ready to go.
“Let’s go in.”
Four people entered the portal.
* * *
The giant nutria is no mean monster.
For example, wasn’t there someone who couldn’t clear the game even after using up all the time limit?
However, the guild members who entered the dungeon showed no signs of tension.
The three of them, excluding Min Do-jun, have been training here and working together in harmony.
‘Can he do it?’
These were the thoughts that came to mind as the three people looked at Min Do-jun.
I’m worried that Min Do-jun will ruin the teamwork we’ve built up so far.
I glanced at Min Do-jun with such worry.
But it was a needless worry.
“I will move separately. You three can hunt together like you have been doing.”
“Huh? You’re saying you can move by yourself?”
“Yes. Okay.”
The guild members let out a sigh of relief as they watched Min Do-jun disappear without giving them a chance to stop him.
“What kind of person is that… … .”
“Isn’t this a symbol of wanting to play around openly?”
They didn’t think that Min Do-jun would hunt alone.
I just thought he’d go somewhere and mess around.
It was absurd for a low-level hunter to catch the giant nutria all by himself, since it required cooperation between hunters.
“That’s a good thing. I was worried that guy would ruin the hunt.”
“I have no idea what you’re thinking. If you’re going to be a slacker, why did you come here?”
“Leave it. You seem scared now that you’re here. Let’s hunt together as planned.”
The guild members moved among themselves without caring whether Min Do-jun died or not.
“Enemy detected!”
Boom- Boom-
A giant nutria with a body as large as a rock looked this way.
Boom- boom- boom- boom-!
He started running towards me recklessly.
“preparation!”
Each of them took up their weapons and took up their positions in unison.
I knew firsthand how to deal with it thanks to all the training I had done.
Kyaaaang!
Just before colliding with the nutria.
Whoosh-
Tanker Kim Seung-hyun turned his body to dodge and cut his ankle with his sword.
Peet-
[Marked with aggro.]
[The giant nutria looks only at the hunter Kim Seung-hyun for a moment.]
As the notification confirming aggro appeared, the remaining two people clung to the nutria.
“asleep!”
“This monster rat!”
While Seunghyun Kim was drawing the aggro, the guild members focused their attacks on his legs.
The intention was to prevent movement even if the aggro was released later.
Kyuuuung!
While I was hitting so excitedly.
“The aggro has been lifted!”
At the tanker’s shout, two people quickly fell down.
And the tank had the attention until the cooldown came back.
And then.
[Marked with aggro.]
When the mark was set, the two people would attach again and pour out all the damage.
After such a fierce battle.
Kuuung!
The giant nutria rolled its eyes and fell over.
[Experience +672] (Contribution 24%)
[Experience +1,204] (Contribution 43%)
[Experience +924] (Contribution 33%)
The three of us shared 2,800 experience points.
Tanker Kim Seung-hyun spoke with fighting spirit.
“Okay. Let’s keep going like this.”
“Wait. Are we really going to continue this by ourselves? Shouldn’t we go find that guy named Min Do-jun?”
“Leave him alone. Whether that kid dies or not.”
“No, it’s not that I’m worried, it’s just that I feel uneasy when there are deaths… … .”
“Don’t worry about it. If you’re worried about your life, you’ll join us.”
The three continued hunting without Min Do-jun.
“Whew, let’s rest for a bit and then go.”
As it was a long race where 200 horses had to be caught, physical management was also important.
After about an hour of advancing while resting and hunting in this way.
“Huh? What is this?”
“why?”
“Everyone, take a look at the strategy window.”
Guild members who happened to open the strategy window noticed something strange.
-Strategy Achievement: 190/200 King Nutria
– Time remaining: 4 hours 59 minutes 19 seconds
“It says they caught 190 so far. Is it just me?”
“No. Me too.”
“Didn’t we definitely catch 40?”
“What on earth are the remaining 150?”
The moment I thought it was a system error.
“Huh? One came up.”
“That means… … .”
I remembered something I had forgotten while I was so absorbed in hunting.
“The Magic Swordsman, that gentleman?”
“That’s ridiculous! While we were catching 40, you caught over 150 on your own?”
It was something incomprehensible.
Even if you were to catch a giant nutria all by yourself, you wouldn’t be able to catch it this quickly.
And that too faster than three people can catch it.
“Surely it must be an error… … .”
But as if to deny that, after about 3 minutes, a strategy notification popped up.
[The attack was successful!]
[Dungeon break time is reset to 120 hours!]
“It wasn’t an error?”
“… … .”
Three people with blank expressions emerged from the dungeon after a while, enveloped in light.
