Hunter vs Hunter

Outside a E rank dungeon, a group of people standing there expected something.

They weren't a hunter. They were a criminal in the underworld.

The reason why they waited here was because a rumor spreading around corner of city.

They wanted to confirm so they were waiting in front of the portal of dungeon.

Of course, someone wasn't patient enough so they entered the portal.

In the boss room of dungeon.

On the dead body of big tiger, Jean was meditating on it. She felt some people entering the dungeon through her sharp sense.

Not only she could feel their presence, she also felt their killing intention. But this killing intention didn't aim at monster.

"What are they doing here?" she opened her eyes after a long time of meditating.

What she was doing now is building her own magic circuits. After choosing her path as warrior, her body was built to endure more damage. As a result, magic circuits was transformed to aura circuits which every warrior had.

She built her second circuits to have access to magic. What reaping will benefit for her future.

"They don't come here for a boss, aren't they?" Jean wondered before thought "Did someone sell me?"

This is underworld so it's not wrong for them to sell me for money. But she didn't understand why they came after her.

After thinking for a while, the only possible answer that might answer her question.

"Hunter vs Hunter"

In Exp system, you can earn Exp from killing monster that was spawned by dungeon. The stronger monster is the more Exp you will earn. However, there was a loophole in that system.

You can earn Exp from killing Hunter too. That was so strange for Jean.

This is not different from telling you that Hunter is also your Exp pack. In addition to that, You can earn bonus from killing Hunter as well.

For example, Killing a E rank hunter was equal to killing a E rank boss. That is why hunters were so corrupt today. Because they found this mechanics. Intentionally or accident.

To encourage killing more hunter, there will be a buff after killing many hunters in row.

[Cold blood] This will help you earn more Exp when killing a hunter.

For example, 100 E rank hunters is equal to D rank boss.

With this buff, From 100 downed to 80. What's an insane buff Exp.

This loophole greatly contributed constructing social in this world. Why bother to hunter a boss when you can kill a hunter which is easy to kill.

"Whatever their goal. I don't let them come here." When meditating, she became so vulnerable that even a child with a knife can kill her.

She sent her 2 swords greeting those intruders.

"As long as they have killing intention, just kill them." 2 swords flying after hearing her command.

If they are stubborn refusing to leave then what awaits them is death.

2 swords made their way to target. She continued building her magic circuits before she promoted to D rank hunter.

"How much is my magic circuits now, system?"

[45 circuits]

"Still little."

She continued absorbing mana in dungeon.

On the other side

"Look at those monster wounds. Are you sure that she is E rank."

"My information dealer is never wrong."

3 of them talked each other while walking the path covered with corpses of monster.

"I don't want to ask about this but why that E rank is chased by many people."

A wide silence stretched on the air.

"I don't know."

"What. You say you don't know. You know that I have to pay my precious time to come here."

"Since I say so then that is. I don't know. My client just told me that. No reason why."

"Tsk. I hate them"

"And so are we"

Putting aside this matter, they continued exploring deeper into dungeon.

Suddenly, the one leading the team stopped.

"Hey Kio. What's wrong?"

He raised his hand to tell them silence for a while.

"Something is coming for us. Listen"

"What's that. Monster."

"I don't know. My monster detection didn't give a warn" Kio replied. "Beside, that thing moves too fast."

He focused his eye's sight to the front trying to see what is that.

When he saw it, a person stood behind him had already died.

Another person behind him grabbed the unidentified object.

"This is a sword." he caught what attacking them. Although this sword was not a creature, it behaved as if this sword was sentinel being.

"Damn you. Dare to kill my friend." he brought a big hammer that will break this sword into many pieces.

"Dano. Put that down. There are 2 of it" when he said this, another sword came to claim that life.

Seeing his friends dying before him, he couldn't contain his rage. He used transformation skill to turn him into a beast.

"Dano. Kue. I will revenge for you." he looked at 2 swords stabbed his face's friend.

He dashed forwards with heavy killing intention.

2 swords sensed his killing intention. They immediately flew out of victim body and danced around him.

Despite enhancing all his senses, his eye couldn't catch a glimpse image of it.

Seeing his confusion, one of it took action. It drew a big vertical slash on his back.

When he turned, it already flew away.

He received another on his back.

"Damn"

Without standing any chance, he was hacked like monster in this dungeon.

3 of life lost easily.

This cycle repeated. A group of criminal entered dungeon only receiving a death.

Another group.

Another group.

Until no one dared to enter anymore.
