The Skill Maker

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 .
