Hyun immediately checked his status. Something he saw in front of him made Hyun shocked.
"System! System! What happened? Why did my level suddenly become 20?"
After completing the dungeon with hunter Oliver, master also received a considerable amount of exp, which made the master's level rise rapidly.
"Then, will I finally be able to use devour? And don't we get an active and passive skill when we go up to level 10? Why doesn't it show up in the status?"
Answer. That's right, now the master can use devour. Due to the skill master that can absorb other hunter skills, rewards from leveling up only one skill will be given.
"Isn't that a bit ridiculous? That means I only have one skill? Then how to use devour? Can passive skills also be taken?"
Answer. To use devour, master only needs to say 'devour' after that, the skill that the master wants to take will be displayed. This also applies to passive skills.
"Ugh. Do I have to say it by mouth? And is there a limit to taking a skill?"
Answer. Master can say it through the mind. There is no limit to how many skills can be taken from the same level or below.
Wait, it's not that this skill is too powerful. And why was I the one chosen to have it. Even if I ask the system, there will definitely be a notification about the authority that is still low. "Haa.. This makes me even more confused. I had better go to the association office first and try to 'devour' there."
Hyun hurried away and couldn't wait to try his skills. As always, the association is always crowded even in the morning.
First of all, Hyun wanted to sell his low-level crystals. Because he had leveled up, Hyun sold all of his crystals and earned about 45k won with 5 thousand won as an administrative fee. After receiving payment, Hyun looks for a quiet place to try his skills.
Devour
Instantly many skills appeared along with a brief explanation in front of him. Since the system told him that there was no limit to how many skills he could take, Hyun chose to swallow all the skills that appeared.
At first, everything went normally. All the skills that appear have been eaten up. As soon as the last skill was devoured and Hyun wanted to check it, suddenly there was a great pain. Hyun screamed in pain, making all eyes look at him. It felt like his soul had been pierced many times. Seeing someone in pain, the association immediately called the medical team. As soon as it arrived, Hyun who was still roaring in pain, the medical team immediately administered healing and sedative magic.
In the subconscious, Hyun saw the skills he had devoured earlier, eating each other. The incident lasted until some skills were left and Hyun finally regained consciousness. As soon as he came to his senses, Hyun looked around. Everyone looked at him. Even the medical team also looked a little scared. "Excuse me, what really happened to me?" Hyun asked one of the medical team.
The medical team looked at each other before one of them spoke. "To be honest, we don't know either. Suddenly you screamed in pain and after we gave the healing magic, you were still screaming in pain. Actually, what have you just experienced?"
Hyun wanted to ask the system about it immediately, so he only gave the closest answer to what he had experienced just now. "I don't know either, it seems like I'm having a blockage. It's good that you guys came to my rescue, thank you very much" The medical team still doesn't understand, but the answer Hyun gave was the only one that made sense. After checking that everything was fine, the medical team returned and the crowd dispersed.
The system tells you that if you devour many skills at once, then the weak skills will be devoured by the strong skills and make them new skills that are stronger than before. Hearing it, made Hyun aware and would no longer be rash devouring everything. Then Hyun also asked if in the future he devoured stronger skills, what previous skills would also be devoured. And the system answers that it is true but only causes a jerk-like effect. The incident that Hyun experienced was like being stung with high-voltage electricity continuously.
This became a new learning for Hyun. In the future, he will be more careful in sorting out the skills he will devour. As soon as he checked the status window, Hyun was shocked. Of the many skills he devoured, there were only 3 active skills and 1 passive skill left. The 3 active skills are, teleportation (within a radius of 5 meters), exchange (exchanging the value of one status to another, only temporarily), aura (projecting mana on an object) and a passive skill in the form of weapon mastery. All the skills that Hyun acquired were top-level skills, especially in passive skills. Where he can master various weapons even though he is holding them for the first time. Due to the level increase, Hyun's status also increased by a few points. With his skill set, Hyun knew what steps he would take.
Dungeon rank 3 with the buffaloes that inhabit it, was a decision that Hyun made based on his situation. The dungeon's new status and low levels make finding a party very easy. Shortly after, Hyun arrived at the location. A few minutes later, some people came over what seemed to be his party today.
"Oyaa, Isn't this the rookie who was screaming?" Said a woman who looked the same age.
"Don't you know? He's the one who went out with Oliver yesterday." Another woman came.
"Oh my gosh, you guys really like to gossip" Came a large man in full armor who looked like a tanker.
"I'm sorry for my member, are you the one who will join this dungeon? Ah, introduce me, I'm the leader of this team a healer. My name is Alvon. The first woman to greet you earlier was our supporter, Mara. This is our tanker, Robert. And this.."
"Nice to meet you, I'm a damage dealer here, Lana." Almost perfect party arrangement. If there were any sub dealers, then this party would be very powerful.
"Introduction, I'm Hyun, a buffer too and I'm also confident in the sword" Before coming here, Hyun was given a sword by Sylv. It seemed like it was an earth-grade sword that should be enough to pass through several dungeons.
"AHAHAHA Interesting rookie, then, you can be a sub dealer" laughs a typical tanker.
Alvon added, "As for the distribution of the spoils, is there a problem?"
According to Hyun, the distribution itself is already very close, with 20 percent will be his share. At first, Hyun refused and only took 10 percent. But Alvon is clean that the division must be fair. What a good person.
"Alright! It's time to give our rookie an exciting show, isn't it, Alvon?" It seems that Lana is impatient.
"Yes, it's up to you. But keep in mind our previous formation. Plus, Hyun as a sub dealer, don't kill everything, leave it for him"
The atmosphere in level 3 dungeons wasn't too different from level 2 and 1. The only difference is the existence of the boss and the way it is solved. "For starters, let Robert, Lana and Hyun fight. Mara, you stay behind, be prepared if something is serious."
"Okay!" As per Alvon's instructions, the three of us started for the cleanup.
The use of mana in skill exchanges is also not too large, this makes Hyun freer to use it. And for the remaining 2, the aura has a greater mana use. Everything went smoothly. Occasionally Alvon and Mara provide support from behind. Lana's own strength is that of a magic swordman. With her, Lana was able to complete the dungeon quickly. The average level of Alvon's party is 60 and above. Only Mara was still at level 30.
Instead of level 2 or 1 dungeons, they preferred tier 3 dungeons to level up Mara quickly. Despite being at a low level, Hyun completed his part well. Makes him at level 25 now. After struggling with the buffaloes, they now arrived in front of the boss's room. According to reports, the boss here is no stronger than the buffalo he fought before. He only has one passive skill, where he will be in berserk mode when his remaining HP is one-third
Just before Robert's hand touched the door of the room, Hyun shouted.
"WAAAA!!!" Instantly, everyone tried to calm Hyun down. Alvon tries to use calming magic on him.
"NO! DON'T GO IN THERE!!" Hyun's face showed that something scary would happen if they went in there.
"HYUN! What happened? Are you alright?!" Lana tries to calm Hyun down.
"I saw it! I saw it!"
"Hyun! What do you mean? What do you see?!"
"We... we'll all die if we get in there..." Everyone was silent.
"HURRY UP!! THE MONSTER IS COMING!!"
Right after Hyun said that, there was a howl from inside the boss's room. The howl sounded like the sound of death calling to them. No one dared to move, everyone felt like death was in front of them.
"ALVON! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? HURRY UP!!"
"Can't be Hyun, we have to kill the boss to complete the dungeon" Avalon's soft voice made Hyun a little conscious.
"Hyun, what kind of monster are you seeing?"
"That... The boss monster is a monster.."
Glup. "Minotaur..." There was silence between them.
"No way! How could a mystical creature be a boss in a tier 3 dungeon?" Mara was very frustrated.
"It's indeed possible if we're in a fake dungeon"
"Hey Alvon, can't we ask for outside help?" Robert tried various possibilities.
"It's a pity there's nothing we can do" Hearing Robert's words, Hyun is aware of the bracelet Sylv gave him.
"Wait, I can ask for help from outside" Everyone looked at Hyun.
"I... I have an item from Oliver that can send a message." Hyun lied about the gift item from Sylv.
"Then Hyun, can you ask Oliver to come?" said Lana.
"I can't guarantee that Oliver will come, but if we tell you about the current situation, it's likely that another high-rank hunter will come."
"That's enough. Provided they send help, we can survive. Thank you, Hyun, it seems like the gods are still on our side." Alvon's words made everyone feel a little relieved.
Hyun closes his eyes and immediately contacts Oliver. Moments later, Oliver appeared on the screen, showing a shocked expression. Hyun briefly told why he was able to get this watch. Oliver understood and asked what the need was to use the watch made by Sylv. Hyun explained everything. Oliver immediately tells Hyun and the others to stay there. Don't enter the boss's room. Oliver will be coming there soon. After the call was turned off, Hyun breathed a sigh of relief and told them what Oliver had told them. Everyone felt relieved and calm because Oliver himself was coming.
"But Hyun, are we really slaughtered without a fight?" Lana's words instantly made everyone look at Hyun. Hyun told what he saw, where they died one by one being hit by a mace from his boss.
"Hyun, you said your skill changed the value of one status to another?"
Hyun nodded.
"If, later, Oliver comes, then we will automatically go into the boss's room. Can you divide our status as well?"
"That's right. I can allocate your status value to other statuses."
"Then, can you distribute all of Lana's statuses to speed by leaving about 25% of each status?"
"Then for Robert, with his taunt skills, allocate it to defense by leaving 10% each. And Mara, allocate it where by leaving stamina at 25% and the remaining 10%"
"Same for me, just like Mara" Hyun's expression was seen as if he didn't understand why he needed to go that far. Alvon smiled.
"We can't let Oliver fight alone, can we? Although he is very strong, but this is a dungeon that we have to complete." Alvon's tone sounded serious. Hyun looked at each of them. An expression that was initially frightened, has now become an expression of confidence and confidence over everything.
"Hahaha it looks like you guys are really a really cool party"
Everyone laughed proudly at the compliment.
Shortly after, there was the sound of someone's footsteps from behind, it was Oliver. It was like himself, coming alone, convinced that he could do everything alone. Before Oliver opened the door, Alvon interrupted him. "Hunter Oliver, can we help you? We have also prepared some plans so as not to disturb you."
Oliver looked at them. "Alright, you guys also have the right to fight the boss. And it can also be your first experience against a fake dungeon boss."
Alvon's party looked excited. "Thank you very much!"
Oliver nodded and started to open the door.
