The Skill Maker - Chapter 113
Chapter 113
What would happen if the Puppeteer controlled them?
Then they would become the enemy .
“You guys are no help, so stay behind!”
The members became really annoyed because the members of Team Xeon only got in the way .
A member angrily asked why they had to babysit when it was hard enough going up against a monster they’ve seen for the first time .
Marcus was the one that said it .
His pride was just as high as the level of his skill .
He was one of the members that didn’t really like the collaboration .
He did acknowledge the need for it, so he followed Kim Yoo-Na, but once he realized how unhelpful they were, he released his anger .
‘Weakness…where’s the weakness…’
Hyun-Soo quickly moved his eyes to find the Puppeteer’s weakness .
But he couldn’t find the white dot anywhere .
‘Damn it, I need to make the monster move somehow…’
The Puppeteer stayed in one place as if it was glued to that spot .
‘What to do?’
Hyun-Soo quickly tried to think of something .
The more time passes, the more they’re at a disadvantage .
On top of that, they had to babysit .
And then .
Kim Yoo-Na gave her orders .
“Long distance attackers, focus on the monster . You don’t have to divert its attention . The close-range attackers will deal with the wooden models . If possible, use your strongest skill and attack quickly . ”
No one knew when they would become a puppet .
On top of that, if they don’t cut the thread on the models, more will appear .
Because of that, the long distance attackers couldn’t really do much .
Everyone knew they wouldn’t benefit anything from dragging the hunt too long .
Kim Yoo-Na was gambling .
But the members pushed aside their doubts and followed her instructions .
While the models were attacking the close-range attackers…
Boom!
Swoosh!
Variety of skills were used on the Puppeteer .
And .
“Huh?”
The wooden models were taken somewhere .
It was near the Puppeteer’s body .
The wooden models were taking the hit for the Puppeteer .
‘I think we can ignore everything else and attack just the Puppeteer . ’
That thought suddenly popped into Hyun-Soo’s head .
Everyone must’ve thought the same thing because they were preparing to use their skills again .
But that thought was soon destroyed .
Kyahhhhhhhh!
Boooom!
After the Puppeteer endured the attacks, it screamed as its eyes turned red .
And at the same time, the floor started breaking .
“Ack?!”
The hunters started losing their balance because of the floor .
Darkness was below the floor .
They remembered walking up to the seventh floor, but they disappeared .
‘Damn it!’
The worn out wooden floor wasn’t stable .
Who knew things would turn out like this?!
Hyun-Soo quickly looked towards the Puppeteer .
The human spider had a big smile .
The monster was having fun watching the hunters fall into the deep hole .
The floor where the Puppeteer was standing was fine .
Hyun-Soo noticed it .
‘That damn bug!’
He started attacking without knowing .
He threw several large hooks towards the monster and as wrapped around them and landed on the floor, Hyun-Soo was able to pull the monster down .
Kyahhhhh!
The Puppeteer’s heavy body fell, but it started spinning in midair .
It was trying to support its body by using the silver threads .
Every time that happened, Hyun-Soo used his skills to try to pull the monster down .
Kyahhhh!
Since it failed so many times, the Puppeteer glared at Hyun-Soo .
The monster knew .
It would be dragged down as well if Hyun-Soo wasn’t killed .
Even though each floor was pretty high, falling from the seventh to the first floor didn’t take that long .
For some reason, it seemed like they would end up falling deeper into the darkness .
But no matter how deep it is, they’ll end up landing on the ground .
If they fall from here, they’ll end up…
That thought made Hyun-Soo impatient .
‘Weakness!’
Hyun-Soo thought making the monster move was the right thing to do .
There was a white light on the tail that was creating the thread .
He had to attack that .
But the Puppeteer was trying its best to hide it .
‘Damn it!’
Hyun-Soo looked at the members that were falling .
Since there weren’t any walls, they couldn’t pierce the wall with their weapons and endure it .
He didn’t have time to just stand there .
Hyun-Soo’s vision started slowing down .
The Puppeteer’s mouth was moving in slow motion as it screamed .
He condensed his skill and started walking .
Hyun-Soo gained momentum and he was able to get on the Puppeteer’s body .
Kyahhhhh!
The Puppeteer violently moved its body to make Hyun-Soo fall .
The monster’s slender legs started attacking Hyun-Soo’s back, but Hyun-Soo had Lahatlan’s protection .
Crack!
Kyahhhhhh!
The white dot was his target .
It was the Puppeteer’s weakness .
Hyun-Soo’s fist landed on the monster’s slim legs and broke them .
Crack!
Crack!
Craaack!
Everytime Hyun-Soo’s fist landed on the monster’s legs, it screamed .
The fear of death usually reveals a person’s limitations .
Hyun-Soo was using one skill after another and things were still moving slow for him .
There were more screams and as Hyun-Soo was attacking the monster’s weakness, fluids and body remains were flying all over the place .
Squish!
Hyun-Soo pulled out whatever was in his hand .
A weird, green-colored thing was in his hand .
The monster’s body started twitching .
Hyun-Soo poured out his skill inside the monster’s body .
His fist was enveloped with Blade Fist .
He created a rod with Invisible Attack and pierced the monster’s body .
Kya…… Kyahhh…… .
The Puppeteer’s body trembled intermittently and then completely stopped moving .
The monster’s thin legs stopped moving as well .
Hyun-Soo looked at his hand with a blank expression .
An odd-colored fluid covered his hand .
It’s because the Puppeteer’s organs smeared on his hand .
‘What is this? Why is my hand……?’
Hyun-Soo looked around after looking at his hand with a blank expression .
People were falling .
Within the darkness underneath the ground, a light appeared .
‘People……fall , light…… . ’
One thought popped into his head after analyzing his surrounding .
‘Fall!’
That one word helped him come back to his senses .
He forgot about what was happening because it was so chaotic, but he quickly came back to his senses .
A light within this darkness?
There was a good chance that they were done with this area .
If they don’t do something quickly, they’ll be dead meat .
‘Damn it, damn it!’
That’s probably the reason why two high-ranking guilds started falling apart .
Ordinary groups would’ve died even before coming here .
Hyun-Soo already counted three areas .
And this was the last area where they could all die .
If there was water underneath here, that would be the best situation .
But life wasn’t that easy .
‘Damn it!’
Hyun-Soo cursed so many times already .
He was running out of time and being impatient only made him blank out .
Riri’s wings .
He could create a skill that gave him the ability to fly .
But he didn’t have time like he did back at the cavern .
And there were over 20 people .
Everyone would die even before Hyun-Soo finished transferring the skill to everyone .
Fwoosh!
‘Wind?’
Hyun-Soo felt wind blowing against his cheeks .
Hunters that controlled the wind element started throwing their attacks towards the floor .
They were trying to prevent the floor from falling apart even more .
‘Right, cushion!’
The thought suddenly popped into his head .
Hyun-Soo quickly took action .
He didn’t have time to be picky .
The floor was still falling apart .
‘Invisible Attack, maximum output! And mix it wind the wind!’
Even though the skill wasn’t his, Hyun-Soo knew how to control the wind .
He studied the skill while helping David with his skill .
Hyun-Soo added the wind element to his Invisible Attack .
And he made it as big as possible .
Even though it took up most of his energy and his eyes became blurry, surviving this moment was the most important .
He added as much wind as he could .
A large wind balloon was created where the light was .
Will it work?
‘Work!’
The floor was disappearing by the minute .
Hyun-Soo believed in his skill .
***
“Blehhhh!”
The sound of people throwing up filled the room .
“Jeez . Tsk, tsk, tsk…… . ”
“You guys are weak…… . ”
The members were all fine . It was the members of Team Xeon that were throwing up in the corner of the room .
Katrina, however, looked a bit exhausted .
Of course the members weren’t completely fine at first .
Hyun-Soo chuckled when they acted like they were fine after they regained consciousness .
Even though the members of Team Xeon were vomiting their guts out, all of them were in one piece .
Hyun-Soo’s gamble worked really well .
‘It was scary . ’
Hyun-Soo closed his eyes as he recalled the last moment .
He did create a large wind balloon .
‘……I didn’t know it was going to be invisible . ’
The others must’ve not been able to see it, because they were shocked .
Right when they landed on the ground .
The hunters jumped as if they bounced off a trampoline and after they realized what happened, they had a hard time standing up .
It’s because they were still shaken up .
After looking around, they couldn’t believe what happened, so they checked their bodies .
Their hands were shaking as they were checking .
“Am I seeing things because I’m dead? Did my mind put a filter because the sight was so gruesome?”
“I can’t believe I died with these guys and not with my diva . How depressing . ”
“Hey, I guess there’s not much going on in heaven . Is it because the angels haven’t come down to pick us up?”
The members made weird comments with a straight face .
They were all under the assumption that they were dead, so even Hyun-Soo asked himself whether he died too .
“I don’t believe in the afterlife . ”
Brad spoke as he slightly raised his hand .
Katrina started crying .
She cried about how there were a lot of places she wanted to go and was sad that she couldn’t anymore .
“I, sniffle, haven’t, sniffle, been, sniffle, to, sniffle, Disneyland, sniffle, yet . I wanted to go…!”
“Hey, you’re a ghost now so you can fly there . I’m sure you don’t have to wait in line . Because you’re dead . ”
“Ahhhhh!”
“David, you call that comforting?”
In Hyun-Soo’s eyes, there was something wrong with all of them .
And then .
“Excuse me . We’re still alive . ”
Everyone looked confused .
Their faces said, “We fell from way up there, so how are we still alive?”
“It’s true . I used a skill that decreased the amount of damage and absorbed the impact…”
“Stop lying . ”
“Rookie, we’re all going to heaven, so you need to give up that false hope . ”
“It’s true”
“Oh yeah? If it’s true, then we should bleed . ”
The hunter that said that used his weapon and cut his arm .
Fwoosh!
And of course, blood shot out of it .
“What the hell?!”
The healer was shocked and they immediately cured the cut, but the members still looked pretty shocked .
After that, everyone ran to Hyun-Soo and hugged him to express their appreciation .
They must’ve been really embarrassed because they acted like they were dead when they were actually alive .
