Evolution Theory of the Hunter Chapter 147

Kyle: Not edited.

With Cho Young-gu covering the front with the shield and the left and right being shot from by the ranged attacker, there were almost no one that could attack. The Dancing Sword kept flying around and made it impossible to even approach.

Like a tank that descended in the Middle Ages, the van swept through while splitting the enemies into two.

It was not difficult to locate the enemy leader.

We could see the back of the guy running away and Cho Young-gu crashed into the guy with the van.

Bang!

"Kuk!"

The guy rolled on the ground at the great impact. But looking at how he didn't die in one hit, it could be said that he was like a leader.

He hurriedly got up and drew his sword.

"Damn it! I will kill you!"

He shouted a thunder-like shout.

I got off the van and went towards him. His information appeared through the manual.

Name : Joo Won-goon

Skill : Conscript (0)

Equipment : Aolai Sword (7) , Kaiser's Helmet (7) , Grey Wolf Armor (7) , Dragon Bone (7)

"Level 0?"

I didn't see wrong. His skill was definitely level 0.

It was the first level 0 skill I saw apart from Soo-ah and I.

Joo Won-goon's expression crumpled up at my words.

"How did you know?"

"I'm also a level 0 you see."

"What?"

His pupils enlarged. This guy probably thought that he was also the only one that had a level 0 skill.

"Level 0 wasn't something especially for me?"

"Unfortunately so."

"Kuk! I thought that things were working out too well. There is no reason for the world to be kind only to me."

Joo Won-goon grinded his teeth in anger.

"What are you being so resentful about?"

"What?"

I smiled as I took out the Dancing Sword.

My feelings were lighter than any other time.

"I am you see. Feeling like I'm finally properly starting."

I couldn't admit it until now.

No matter how stronger I got, no matter how much money I earned.

That was all because of a level 0 skill that had an unbelievable ability.

There was nothing that I had achieved on my own.

I had such thoughts.

However, it was different now.

"What does that……."

"You and I are in the same condition no?"

I threw the Dancing Sword into the air. It got to a height were it couldn't even be seen.

It was a location far higher than until now.

"Because then, it would mean that the one that wins here put in more effort."

"What did you say?"

"At the very least. It would mean that the time I have spent until now wasn't wasted."

The Dancing Sword struck down on Joo Won-goon.

***

Conscript was a skill that could use a large amount of troops like their own limbs. The number that one could control increased with proficiency and their movements would be controlled with only his will power.

Should I say that it was like playing a tactics simulation game.

The reason why I could learn that was simple.

Because I ate the skill.

Conscript (0) : Able to control the movement of allies. Convenient for managing a large force.

As I killed Joo Won-good, his skill metastasized to me. It seemed to be a function of level 0 skills.

As Joo Won-goon died, the Chungho Group instantly started crumbling.

"The command!"

"Da, damn it! What do you want me to do!"

"Do we retreat?"

"Attack!"

"I, I'm going to run!"

The Chungho Group that moved by the Conscript skill until now. I was thinking that they were moving in a perfect manner, there was such a reason.

It was obvious that their line of command would break down as Joo Won-goon was now gone.

The Chungho Group hunters who were moving like they were a single entity couldn't find their places and the ones trying to run and ones trying to fight got tangled up and aggravated the chaos.

Several supervisors tried to encourage fighting by cutting the necks of the ones trying to run but even they were threw their swords away as they showed their backs.

At the time the tide was completely turning around.

Creak!

The tightly closed wooden barricade door of the base opened.

Trying to gain something after interfering belatedly, Joo Sae-yoon's two eyes were bloodshot as he took the lead.

At that figure, the Chungho Group members that were trying to do something until the end had their last remaining morale disappear. The leader that should have straighten them out was already gone.

The Chungho Group's formation broke down like a lie.

I did not like the current situation.

If it continued like this then the credit would be taken by the government team after we did all the hard work.

Of course, I couldn't leave them be.

It wasn't like there was no method you see.

I activated the Conscript skill that I got just now. I had already gotten familiar with it to some degree.

A huge map appeared in front of my eyes. The monster army was gree, normal hunters were blue, and the government team was shown as yellow. The red was of course the Chungho Group.

From them, I moved the blue normal hunters to block the approaching government team.

The hunters moved as one.

They didn't receive an order from anyone but they naturally moved in the direction I wanted them to.

"All of you get out of the way!"

A collision occurred between the hunter group I controlled and the government team, especially team 3 with Joo Sae-yoon at the front.

The government team that was burning with desire swung their swords.

Clang!

"Fuck! What the hell? Why are you attacking me!"

"Shut up and get out of the way! You guys' work is over!"

"The hell are you saying! When you joined late!"

"Why this insect like bastard saying what I should! You guys are the ones that interfered after we exhausted them!"

"What?"

Similar scenes were happening all around.

However, the more collisions there were the slower the pursuit of the government team. Even if it was the finale, they wouldn't be able to cut down the hunters that came to save them. There were no casualties and the conflicts didn't become too big.

Also, the monster army that escaped that chaotic situation pursued the fleeing Chungho Group and were getting many military achievements.

In the end, the government team couldn't achieve anything in particular. The Chungho Group lost half their members as they escaped while I used the monsters to move the corpses of the Chungho Group members and spoils of war into the forest.

A message that I didn't see in a long time appeared.

[The item list is full. An upgrade is needed.]

I couldn't have imagined that I would be able to fill the manual when I had first upgraded it. However, I had surpassed it not long after upgrading it.

If there were this many items, it wouldn't be changed into money.

Soo-ah's mouth opened up wide looking at the mountain of items stacked in front of her.

"How, how many is all this?"

"Including the ones in the item list, about 10,000."

"How much is it in terms of money?"

"About 2~3t?"

"Hehe…… That was an amount that existed huh……."

Soo-ah suddenly started laughing like a mental person. It was an amount that was absurd even when I thought about it. No, at this point, my sense of money completely disappeared.

This was enough financial power to be counted as a large raid team. Of course, it was a shame that I couldn't take this all.

I would have to share some of it with the hunters resting after the battle back there.

Since there was no way of knowing who did more and what not, I was planning on distributing it moderately. It was impossible to bring the nose of the corpse or whatever because they all returned to the void after all.

However, it wasn't like I could distribute them while they were piled up this much.

I opened the manual.

Proficiency : 52

Reward Points : 45,000

Stat Increase : Strength 550 Endurance 450 Reflex 750 Concentration 400 Defence 400(+60)

Upgrade : 5,122/5,000

The ores that piled up through the battles had surpassed 5,000.

It was time to expand the item list through upgrading.

– Will you use 5,000 ores to upgrade the manual?

As I pressed accept, the world got dyed in green again.

– The item list is increased to 10,000. Duplicates are counted as one.

– A new combination section will open. 'Monster' category has been created.

– Administration Mode is further unlocked. 'Rapid Returning to the Void'. 'Automatic Collection' has been added.

– 'Mystic Dungeon' has been detected. Data will be connected.

A lot of things appeared again.

The rest were all abnormal abilities but the Mystic Dungeon caught my eye.

As desperate as I was, I put all the items into the item list. The close to 10,000 items disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Oh. It all went in. Did you upgrade?"

"Ah. Yeah. There's a few more things besides that."

"What is it?"

"I will explain later. Checking comes first."

For now, I skipped the item list expansion that I already knew and inspected them in order.

The first was the combination section. Combination was an ability I didn't really use that much. I only used it when strengthening so it wasn't very useful in comparison to the other abilities.

The thing that was added to it was none other than 'Monster Combination'.

There was a general resemblance with item combination.

With the addition of an ore to two monsters of the same level, a higher level monster could be made. What was similar with item combination was that I had to clash with the completed monster at least once to able to create it.

The second was administration mode. Opening the menu, Rapid Return and Automatic Collection tabs had newly appeared. (Kyle: 'Rapid Returning to the Void' shortened to 'Rapid Return'.)

To put it simply, it was a function that made it so that monsters would return to the void instantly instead of having to wait. In the case of Automatic Collection, it was a function that would make it so that the dropped items would be put into my item list without me having to put my hand on it.

It was a system that improved the inconvenient parts of monster hunting.

And the final one, connection to the Mystic Dungeon.

Instead of looking into this and that, I think it would be faster to try running this and that. I opened the window that said Mystic Dungeon.

"Oh……."

At that, the map that I had seen before in the computer appeared.

The only thing that was different was that the graphics were green but that wasn't the important thing anyway.

It was possible to zoom in and out through gestures and it was possible to use the on/off function for dungeons and difficulty settings without any problems.
