‘Eh?’
Checking the status window of the monster hunters, I tilted my head. The highest level psychic was level 8, the rest were all level 7.
‘You’re hunting monsters just like that? Is that possible?’
No matter how monster hunters were specialized in hunting monsters, that wasn’t enough. It was impossible to hunt monsters at that level, it was an act of suicide.
“Look for it, you freak!”
‘But you mean they fight well?’
Monster hunters who don’t even have psychic powers, even psychic levels are all below level 8. However, they managed to turn the situation in their favor by dodging Highwug’s attack.
‘What? Why do you fight so well?’
[Quiyiit-!]
At that time, Highwug screamed and swung his club-like tail. The target was a man named Hill Avery who was clattering in front of him with a large shield.
“Suck! Earth armor! Earth’s protection!”
The guy didn’t even think about avoiding the monster’s attack, but instead he planted his shield into the ground and used his skill. The surrounding mounds of dirt wrapped around the man’s body. It became like a golem made of earth.
Highwug’s tail hit the man who had become a wreck.
Thud-!
“Kuk!”
‘Can you fucking stand that?’
I was surprised to see a man who withstood Highwug’s attack. I thought the man would fly like a kite with a broken string.
However, the only damage the man suffered was the splatter of the mound of dirt that covered his body.
‘Even if I can’t do it, I think it will be 70~80 tons?’
Highwug was small for a monster, about 3m high, but instead had a long body. Plus, it was huge, and it looked like it weighed at least 70 tons.
Of course, the tail he wielded must have the weight and strength to turn a human into porridge at once, but he endured it.
Even in place, only a 7th level psychic.
‘Is being an earth knight such a good superpower?’
Surprised, I checked what characteristics he had.

‘It’s a good psychic power…But it’s not at the level of blocking that attack?’
Basically, the [Earth Knight] Psychic ability was a psychic ability specialized in defense. It was characterized by an improvement in physical abilities when standing on the ground with soil.
However, it was my idea that I couldn’t withstand Highwug’s attack with that much.
“How did Raonjena and that guy last… Huh? Raonjena?”
“…”
“Hey, are you okay? What’s wrong with you? Are you sick?”
“…”
I was surprised when I turned to the side to listen to Raonjena’s thoughts. Because she was in a cold sweat.
‘If?’
Could one of them have killed Raonjena’s family? So, I wondered if it was a trauma.
“Raonjena.”
“Ugh, ugh… I’m fine.”
“What’s wrong? Are there any of them you know?”
“No, that’s not it.”
Raon Jenna bit her lip and shook her head. Then why did she suddenly break out in a cold sweat?
“But why?”
“Those guys…”
“Huh?”
“The equipment is all made from monster by-products.”
“What?”
At her words, I looked back at the monster hunters fighting Highwog. It was certainly far from the outfit worn by psychics these days.
Leather armor, maces, shields, bows, etc. Were things that did not match the era of gunpowder and supernatural powers.
‘That’s all made with monster by-products?’
If so, it makes sense to have endured.
Because equipment made from monster by-products is incomparably better than equipment made with ordinary materials.
Even the suit I’m wearing right now is made from the skin of a nine-tailed fox, so it’s weak against slashing attacks, but it shows ridiculous performance against elemental or hitting attacks.
By the way, Raonjena still doesn’t know that my suit is made from the skin of a nine-tailed fox, but that’s because of Peter’s ability.
The nine-tailed fox’s skin was processed according to Peter’s [Monster Leather Processing] Feature, so the smell unique to the nine-tailed fox disappeared, and thanks to that, Raonjena did not notice.
It couldn’t have been a really fortunate thing for me.
“But how did you know that?”
“If you are at the Hero Association, you can see a lot of equipment made from monster by-products.”
“Okay?”
That means it was hit with the eye.
I turned my eyes again and focused on the battle between the monster hunters and High Warg.
“Haaaaa! Strike!”
The earth knight who blocked Highwoug’s tail swung his mace. The mace, which applied the power of skill and supernatural power, easily broke the thorns of High Warg.
While the Earth Knight was attracting Haiwugg’s attention from the front, Heath Average, a body enhancer, and Raymond, a fighting expert, were attacking Highwug on either side of the monster. The thorns and thick flesh were broken and crushed little by little.
Behind the Earth Knight, Ice Leverwood, a healer, and Aurora Ginger, a master of archery, were supporting allies.
Whenever the three monster hunters in front were injured, the healer used a healing skill, and the master of archery shot an arrow into Highwug’s eye, making it impossible for him to move.
The combination of monster hunters was great and the items were perfect.
Enough to fill the lacking level of superpowers.
As the battle lengthened, the battle situation slowly began to lean toward the monster hunters.
‘That woman.’
It was thanks to the excellent mercenary skills and timely support of the healer in the safety of the rear. Without her, she would not have been able to create such an advantageous situation, no matter how good items she had covered her entire body.
About 30 minutes after we watched, the final blow went in.
Hook-!
[Quiyiyiik?!]
An arrow shot by an archery master had pierced Highwug’s right eye.
No matter how strong a monster is, it has a weakness. High Warg struggled in pain.
“It’s a wide pattern! Everyone step back! Only Aurora attacks!”
“Huh!”
High Wog, who had lost one of his eyes, frantically trampled around him and slapped his tail. In no time, he began to turn into ruins around him.
If you continued to attack melee or tank around there, you would have turned into porridge at once.
Thud-!
Having lit the last flame, Highwug sat down on the floor and breathed heavily. However, he was wary of the monster hunters, blinking his one remaining eye as if he wanted to take even one of them.
He held his tail high as if he would strike it down with his club-like tail if anyone approached him.
“Aurora. Take care of it.”
“Yes. A piercing arrow. A fatal blow. The final arrow.”
When the master of archery used three skills at the same time, the arrow in her hand was permeated with pure white energy. Unusual energy was felt from the arrow.
If you get hit by that attack, even if you’re a monster, you won’t be able to withstand it.
“Should I step in now?”
“Is there a need for that? I think we can easily find their village if we just secretly follow them.”
“Then it’s no fun.”
“What?”
I smiled and left Raonjena and went forward.
‘I have to hit the last one.’
When the system message saying that HighWag was discovered earlier appeared, a player-only quest also appeared.
The quest type was hunting, and the reward was 1 superpower option and 10 superpower level up tickets.
If I hit the last hit, I could receive a huge reward.
‘I can’t give up on this.’
This is the situation where the performer takes over and the bear takes the money!
‘Ah, that’s the opposite.’
Correct. A situation where bears do tricks and people take care of money!
Here, the bears are monster hunters and the person is me.
“Eutcha!”
“Wow?!”
Before her master of archery could unleash her arrows, he lunged at her like a tiger and slashed her hand at her bare nape.
No matter how much he wore armor and helmets made of monster by-products, if he was not protected by them, he was just an ordinary (?) Psychic.
And ordinary psychics couldn’t stand my power.
“What?!”
“Aurora!”
“What else is that!”
“Looking at people and saying that. Did this bastard get less character education? Do you want to search?”
Was it because he thought he had already won? They were caught off guard and didn’t notice my presence until I attacked the archery master. If you don’t know, you must be right.
“This dog dare to kill Aurora! I’ll kill you!”
“Wait!”
“Ice! Why are you stopping it! That bastard is the aurora…”
“I told you to wait!”
“…”
“Oh ho?”
Unlike the three frantic men, the healer was calm.
She glanced behind her. She was just making sure he wasn’t doing anything weird.
A tired monster behind me, and a fucking strong me in front.
The healer was acutely aware that the situation could lead to terrible things being surrounded from the front and back.
‘As expected, this bitch is the head.’
I was sure of her composure. Except for the healers, all of them were inexperienced jerks.
To be honest, if I had attacked and stunned the healer first rather than the master of archery, I would have easily cleaned them up.
However, it was to protect High Warg that he did not target her and attacked her master of archery first.
‘Where do you dare to hit and kill my monster? That’s mine.’
If it caught my eye and a quest popped up, then High Warg was my monster.
“Who are you? Did you attack us knowing who we were?”
“…”
The healer came forward and spoke to me. On either side of her stood an earth knight and a martial arts master as if escorting her. It was to protect the healer by throwing my body when I rushed at it.
“Baby.”
“Baby?”
“When asking someone’s name, it’s polite to say your name first.”
“…”
I crossed her arms and changed her tone. The healer bit his lip at my laid-back attitude and the way he treated them like children.
And now, you would have noticed that I am an overwhelming force through my tone and actions.
“… I’m Ice Leverwood, a monster hunter belonging to [Slater]. Who are you?”
“Anonymous.”
“Yes?”
“I am unknown.”
It is a national rule that the main character’s name is unknown in martial arts.
Ice, who was wary of looking at me with strange eyes, opened his mouth again.
“… The Unknown Elder has just attacked us. This could be a declaration of war against Slater. So can you tell us why you attacked us?”
“Ohh.”
Ice always treated me with respect. However, he mentioned his affiliation and threatened.
When I showed myself like this in Dark City, the other person’s reaction was one of two things.
One was, ‘What are you saying, you asshole? Kill!’, And the other was ‘sssss, Steel Armor!’.
However, Ice did not belong to either of them. It was very fresh.
But fresh is fresh, and I couldn’t forgive him for daring to threaten me.
“Are you trusting your mastermind and threatening me right now? Heh heh heh. You don’t know that a puppy is afraid of a bee.”
“That crazy bastard!”
“Ice! What are you doing! Let’s kill that bastard and take Aurora!”
“Shut up both of you!”
She hurriedly shut the two indignant mouths. It was so funny that I opened my mouth to provoke the others.
“Why did you attack you? It’s because you were trying to hunt the monster I was chasing.”
“… Yes?”
“That guy is the monster I was chasing. But since you guys tried to hunt the monster I was chasing, how can I stay still?
“Bussiness! We chased that monster for three days! But you chased it?”
Immediately the body enhancer countered my words. How dare this bastard refute with facts?
“That’s right. Now that the monster is in my eyes, that monster is my prey.”
“”””…””””
Your monster hunter looking at me with absurd eyes.
“This, you bastard! Die!”
Soon, the blind-eyed guys rushed at me.
