Episode 8

Hidden Skill.

It is a skill that only occurs for hunters who have been granted a genix ring, and there are many different types because it is given according to the attributes or characteristics of the hunters.

Since the conditions for unlocking hidden skills were also very different, Min-jun unexpectedly fulfilled the conditions for unlocking hidden skills.

‘First of all, the elixir!’

First of all, maintaining stealth all the time was an urgent priority.

Minjun quickly drank the last remaining elixir.

The stealth state was extended again, and he opened a hidden skill in a large rock gap.

[Hidden skill has been opened.]

[You have acquired the hidden skill ‘Sharp Eyes’.]

＜Sharp Eyes [Lv 1]＞

▶You can temporarily check the enemy’s weakness.

▶If you hit the indicated weakness, the opponent’s defense will drop sharply.

▶However, if the skill level is low, it is still difficult to find out the exact weakness.

‘There are still difficulties… What does this mean?’

What was certain was that he had acquired the skill to know the opponent’s weaknesses.

However, Min-jun, who had no idea what the third and last phrase meant, decided that it was correct to use the hidden skill first.

[Used the hidden skill ‘Sharp Eyes’.]

After casting the hidden skill, I immediately looked at the giant vampire bat.

A guy who stirs around with both huge wings.

It seemed to be a struggle to find Minjun.

‘… Weakness.’

I couldn’t help but shake my head.

That would be too.

It was correct to tell the giant vampire bat’s weakness through the hologram.

The location was not one.

‘I have to guess first!’

After drinking the last remaining magic potion, Minjun fired an arrow at the chest area marked as one of his weak points.

Shiiyi-!

phut-!

‘You got it right!’

Stay alert and hit the first weak spot!

However, contrary to thought.

The giant vampire bat still looked lively.

Wow!

“Isn’t that a weakness?”

[You are out of the critical zone.]

[Aim for another weakness.]

Rather, his wings fluttered even more.

Minjun couldn’t stay still because of the duration of his hiding.

Then, the wings marked as the second weakness.

No matter where it was, he hoped that the spot he had marked would be his weakness.

shhh-

shhh-

However, it was not easy to hit the wildly fluttering wings.

Even for a guy with a gigantic body of nearly 3m, it was never easy to hit a nimble flying object.

With the intention of blowing all the arrows contained in the tradition, Min-jun shot a long-stretched arrow while minimizing the delay.

Shuk-!

‘done!’

I fired nearly 20 arrows, and once again hit the marked spot as a weakness.

Minjun focused on both wings to inflict more damage.

However, the guy was still there.

Rather, it only got sharper.

[The effect of Elixir of Stealth remains for 59 seconds.]

‘Why does time pass so quickly?’

Wings were not a weakness either.

There is only one place left now!

It was the nape of his neck.

‘It’s not like we’re talking about twenty questions. There’s no bad luck.’

Before I knew it, beads of sweat formed on my forehead.

The time to maintain stealth is about 1 minute.

For Min-jun, who had no further backs, the only way was to target his real weakness, the nape of his neck.

It seemed that the strength of his arms was gradually diminishing, so he had to risk his life and death in the remaining minute.

[Used skill focused fire.]

[The effect of Elixir of Stealth remains for 2 seconds.]

The mana is now running low.

Thinking it was the last shot, Min-jun let go of the string he pulled.

grasp-!

aaa!!!

An arrow stuck right in the middle of the guy’s neck.

It was the most painful thing I had ever seen, as if that place was really a weakness.

hook-!

hook-!

A giant vampire bat that is gradually losing its balance in midair.

Minjun thought this was his only chance and started shooting arrows all the way.

Koo-u-!!

As soon as more than 10 arrows started to enter the back of his neck in succession, he lost consciousness.

Not only did his movements slow down, but the loud flapping of his wings also significantly decreased.

As the boy’s struggles diminished, Min-jun’s gestures to draw the bowstring gradually decreased.

It was only after putting nearly 30 arrows into the nape of his neck that Minjun was finally able to kill him.

Turn it off!

[You have defeated the Giant Vampire Bat.]

[You have obtained the Sacred Magic Stone.]

[You have acquired 5,000G.]

[All materials have been acquired.]

[Go to Blacksmith Panseo Kim.]

mandible- mandible-

Min-jun finally let out a breath that he had been exhaling heavily.

However, one message phrase caught my eye.

“A sacred magic stone?”

Among the numerous types of magic stones, he had never heard of sacred magic stones, so Minjun was also curious.

[Special] Holy Magic Stone

Description ▶ ??

Effect ▶ ??

“what’s this?”

Certainly, the magic crystal seemed to fit, but I couldn’t figure out any explanation or effect.

The magic crystals obtained by the main character in the original work at Dad’s Palace were C-class normal magic stones. But this time it was different from the original.

“Since it’s the same magic stone, it can be used as a material, right?”

In addition to 100 goblins, I also caught a boss mob.

The grade of the magic crystal was unknown, but in Minjun’s eyes, it seemed to be worth much more than the magic crystal he originally wanted to obtain.

After catching his breath for a moment, he moved to leave the dungeon.

I will also gather all the ingredients.

I had high hopes that a decent bow would be made if I only delivered the collected materials to Panseo Kim.

Of course, don’t forget the corpse of the boss mob.

“I’m going to take the body and go.”

The appendages and corpses obtained after hunting boss mobs were of considerable value in this world.

As Min-jun, an avid reader, knows, even the corpse of a low-grade boss mob is well over 30 million won.

Thinking about it, I couldn’t just leave it alone.

“Inven!”

Minjun immediately put the body in the inventory.

***

Panseo Kim’s personal workshop.

Tak- Tak- Tak-

Kim Pan-seo inspects the surroundings of a huge furnace with a temperature of over 800 degrees.

In the midst of creating a checklist one by one to see if there are any problems with machine maintenance.

He was deeply in love with Cha Min-joon.

“child! I don’t know if I’m doing well. I don’t care about people… . Aren’t you coming here with a lot of squeamishness?”

I don’t know where this sense of diligence comes from, but it was Kim Pan-seo who couldn’t believe 100 percent of his words that he would procure the necessary materials without hesitation.

That would be too.

It is because the appearance of Cha Min-joon that he usually knows is quite different from today.

He was cowardly, and did not have exceptional abilities for a Hunter.

As a Hunter, it was true that he had the most basic magic power, but since it was so insignificant, I thought he lacked potential.

To think that he would find a magic stone that was hard to find.

Kim Pan-seo was still dubious.

“Sir, I didn’t send him for nothing! It bothers me so much.”

Eventually, the moment when the day’s work is over and all the machines in the workshop are about to be locked.

Suddenly the door to the workshop opened.

Squeak-

“!!”

The person entering through the door was none other than Cha Min-joon.

“uh?! hey what are you Did you get sloppy right away?”

He revealed his aspirations and returned to himself half a day later?

Bona Mana faced reality and thought that he had fled to this place.

However, Panseo Kim’s guess was completely wrong.

“You are talking like a jerk. Come on, is this right?”

“to? What is it all about? Did you really get it?”

“Can’t you see? What if the blacksmith doesn’t even know the ingredients?”

“No, how could this be done in half a day… !”

“I never dreamed that there would be so many goblins. Even if there were only 50 of them, they would have been able to catch them and move quickly. When I roughly counted, there were well over 100.”

“What? Did you catch it by yourself?”

“then? Magazine by myself. Anyone else I know besides you?”

“… Nonsense.”

The old Minjun.

It was a cowardly Hunter who said that he couldn’t sleep all night because a goblin came out of his dream. So it was difficult for Kim Pan-seo to understand.

By the way, in just half a day, didn’t they get more than 50 stages of Kevlar?

I couldn’t keep my mouth shut when I saw the magic crystal, which is a proof that I caught the boss mob.

However, the magic crystal that Minjun found was a bit different from the magic crystals he had seen so far.

The original Magic Stone.

It is normal to have a blue color, but the magic crystal Minjun brought was a deep black color.

Apparently, the magic stone is correct.

This kind of magic stone was the first thing that blacksmith Kim Pan-seo had ever seen.

However, what was certain was that it looked much more valuable than the magic crystal he requested.

Even Panseo Kim, the blacksmith who was not a hunter, could feel the energy flowing through the magic stone.

‘Since when did this guy grow so rapidly?’

At first, he suspected that he had formed a party with other colleagues to clear the gate.

However, after thinking it over, I looked into every nook and cranny of the corpse of the giant vampire bat, the boss mob.

I confirmed that everything he said was true.

‘Only the wounds on the body, the arrows I lent are all stuck. and… … .’

Kim Pan-seo inspected the corpse of the giant vampire bat.

The arrows stuck in the corpse were all arrows borrowed from him, and the location of the arrows was also quite sharp.

At the same time, Panseo Kim glanced at Minjun Cha’s hand.

From how many arrows he had pulled, there were a lot of scratches between his fingers.

Even so, Cha Min-joon, who showed no signs of being sick, was just amazing.

“What are those fingers? I’m putting this on first.”

“Okay, hurry up and make me a bow.”

“Looking at you. wait.”

Min-jun applied the ‘healing herb’ that Kim Pan-seo had given him on his knuckles.

Healing herbs not only had the effect of quickly healing the skin in case of light wounds, but also quickly recovered a small amount of stamina.

‘Tch, if you have something like this, give it to me before you go.’

When I applied it on the injured part of my finger, it started to heal quickly.

While admiring the effectiveness of healing herbs.

A message appeared stating that Minjun had completed the quest.

[The quest has been completed.]

[Agility and mastery have increased slightly.]

[Strength mastery has increased significantly.]

[Strength rating has risen to E ▶ E+.]

[You have acquired 40,000G.]

“!!”

While Panseo Kim was away for a while.

Minjun opened the status window to check his stats.

▶Status Window◀

Name ▶ Cha Min-joon

Age ▶ 20 years old

Affiliation ▶ Genix Academy 1st year

Class ▶ Class D in Combat Department.

Talent ▶ Stamina [D+] Attack [D] Dexterity [C] Vision [D+] Accuracy [D+] Strength [E+] Magic [D]

Skill ▶ Concentrated Shot [Lv 2] Hail Shot [Lv 2] Sharp Eyes [Lv 2]

Gold ▶ 45,000G

Along with the increase in strength stat.

Possession funds also began to accumulate to some extent.

Even so, there was still a limit to purchasing talent in the talent market to this extent.

Eventually, Panseo Kim, who had been absent for a while, reappeared.

“It’s a bow that I’ve been keeping for a while, but if I fuse it with the materials I brought, it will become a useful bow in its own way. Even if you look at it like this, it’s a bow that has passed through the hands of Ranger Hunters.”

“okay? By the way, the magic stone feels a little different from the existing one, but it’s okay, right?”

“What, will it be damaged? Even if it is damaged, you can ask for it.”

“… … Shut up.”
