Chapter 241 – #242 I Won, Right?
#242 I won, right?
Quaang-!
A small, shabby boat burst into pieces. The wreckage of the wrecked boat flew in front of me. I also saw the face of Peter the Elder, who was embarrassed.
‘Is this a mess?!’
As the boat exploded, I too was thrown into the air. What fearless bastard attacked me?
‘Could it be betrayal?’
The first thing that came to mind was the betrayal of the Siren. But there was something a little too far-fetched for her to say that the Siren had betrayed me.
She said that the system was clearly a siren and that she would never betray me. She is a fact professed by the system. She can’t be a siren betray me… Huh?
‘…Is the system really absolute?’
I had a sudden thought.
What if the system is not absolute? What if the rules and information told by the system could be wrong depending on the situation?
If so, it is possible that the Siren betrayed them.
‘If you really betrayed me, then I really fell behind, Siren. I also have superpowers to counter monsters.’
There is no need to panic like last time, and there is no need to get help from S-class heroes. I can kill the Siren with my full strength.
‘The siren will kill the new chick…’
“Reel?”
Aaaaagh-! Queek! Queek! Kiruuuuuk-!
In the sky, a gigantic creature other than a siren was screaming. It looked like it was made by mixing the face and wings of a seagull and the body of a snake.
Now that it has wings… Can I call it a bird?
[[Monster: Mr. Oul. Zepes] Was found.]
[You will receive 1 [Psychic Level Up Ticket] As a reward.]
[Tickets: [Psychic Option] X0, [Psychic Level Up Ticket] X1]
“Uh… Honey?”
Having discovered a new monster, the right to increase the level of superpowers was created as a bonus.
Thanks to that, I was able to raise [Thunder Emperor], Which was the only one of the 7 psychic powers that I had at level 9, to level 10.
“Comfort…!”
It bothered me that I was level 9 every time I looked at the status window, but it worked out just in time. You’ve got an unexpected benefit!
Subsequently, a quest to kill [Mr. Oul. Zepes] Was created. The quest reward is a by-product of Mr. Oyster. Zepes. Unfortunately, there are no superpower options and no level up.
“Can you subdue this bastard too?”
The conditions for clearing the quest were also changed when the sirens were terrified of me before. A new option called [Subordinate] Appeared, and the reward was 1 psychic option and 10 level up tickets.
Honestly, isn’t that better than the by-products of monsters?
“Oh, should we make costumes for our kids?”
It’s not some kind of Montana Jones, but when I ask them to make costumes for my kids with the same suit as mine, they always cry that they don’t have the materials.
But what if the ingredients were airlifted like this on the spot? I won’t be able to refuse any more. Godfather! There’s no reason to refuse I’m yours!
“It can’t be helped.”
Today, I have to kill that monster with tears the size of rats (?).
“Oh right.”
But is old Peter okay? Could it be that he fell into the sea or died?
“Damn it! I wasn’t following that lunatic after all!”
“You’re fine.”
As I expected, old Peter was fine. He was floating with his arms outstretched in a strange posture, with only his lower body submerged in the sea.
Old Peter is fine, so shall we take care of that cheeky bastard who attacked me now?
“Ohhhhh clothes!”
When the monster hunter supernatural power was activated, body strengthening characteristics from level 1 to level 5 were activated.
The special psychic ability that can only be activated in front of a monster strengthened my body exponentially.
“At this rate… I think it will be at least level 11 or 12?”
The whole body was full of energy. No, it’s not enough to say that this is simply overflowing with power. It was like lava before it exploded.
The rapidly amplified power was hoping for me.
I want you to squirt yourself quickly!
‘Manpower.’
He flew to Zepes using the Manpower skill.
Kiruuuuu-!
It attacked me by whipping its long snake-like tail like a whip. I had to contact him anyway, but it just went well. He turned his outstretched hand to Zepeth’s head and directed his tail towards me.
Iron-!
“Kuk!”
Indeed, a monster was a monster. I stopped my gravitational skill at the right timing and clung to his tail. As much as it had a huge size, the power of its tail attack was also considerable. At this level, a high-rise building could be split in two at once.
But that was all.
I wasn’t weak like when I was fighting the siren, and most of all I wasn’t a tall building.
The strengthened body limited to monsters gave me the strength to endure.
“The Hunter’s Seal.”
Chiyiyi Iik-!
Using the skill with his right hand, he hit the tail like hitting Ignis’ butt. A burning smell emanated from the area where his palms touched.
Kirurururuk?! Kiruuuuu-!!!!!
Then an amazing thing happened.
Compared to its size, the burning area was really small. It’s just a small dot compared to the human body. Only that narrow part was burned.
But he was in great pain, as if his entire body was on fire.
The reason was simple.
It was because of the skill I had just used, [Hunter’s Seal].
This skill can only be used on monsters, and monsters with the hunter’s seal cannot escape the hunter’s eyes and ears.
Simply put, it meant that no matter how far he ran from me, I could pursue him.
Moreover, the effect of the skill did not end there.
The hunter’s seal is like a stack in game.
I can put a hunter’s seal on a monster a total of 10 times, and if all 10 times are filled, the monster’s HP will decrease by 30%.
An opening skill that reduces HP by as much as 30%!
However, considering that the opponent is a monster, it is not that much of an open fire skill. How strong could the monster be nicknamed the living disaster?
Anyway, now I have 1 stack of Hunter’s Seal on him. When he removed his hand, a black and white Taegeuk pattern was stamped on it.
No, soup here?! But the color is not red and blue, so the soup doesn’t fill up!
Chill-! Chill-! Kiruuuuu-!
Zepes, who was in pain, waggled his tail loudly and tried to drop me.
“No way!”
But I clung to him like crazy. I almost missed it because my body was slippery, but I endured it by using the manpower skill.
Kiruuuuuk-!
Just-! Hard-!
When I hardly ever fall, he changed his strategy. Instead of brushing me off with his tail, he tries to pull me off with his beak. Bend over flexibly, he tried to snatch me with his beak.
“Get off! 2 stacks! Hunter’s seal!”
Chii Iik-!
Using the gravitational skill, it moved along Zepes’ body like a cockroach. So while avoiding its beak attack, I took the second hunter’s seal.
Whoa, whoa, whoa?!
The guy was writhing in pain.
[Master!]
And reinforcements arrived just in time.
The Siren, who had spotted me, flew towards Zepes at full speed, her joy was short-lived.
[How dare you attack the master! Don’t kill me!]
Kiruuuuu-!
A look of bewilderment was evident on the face of Zepes, who was in pain. However, it soon began to fly toward the siren with poison in its eyes.
It seemed that they regarded the Siren as a bigger threat than me.
“This hurts my pride.”
Did you dare to think that the chinta siren was more dangerous than me? Dare?
There is no one stronger than me in this world.
It was the same with monsters known as living disasters. All monsters must also kneel in front of me fairly.
“Yap! Hunter’s seal.”
As soon as the cooldown expired, the third stack was built.
Whoa, whoa, whoa?!
[Die!!!!!]
At the same time, Siren and Zepes collided in the air.
“What?!”
The collision of the two gigantic monsters caused an explosion comparable to that of a nuclear bomb. If he hadn’t stuck flat while using the manpower skill right away, he would have been blown away by the explosion.
[Die! Die! I’m dying!!!]
The Siren used her wings and claws to drive Zepes away. Every time her wings grazed and her claws pinched, it wound and shed flesh.
However, Zepes was also not easy.
Using her long, flexible body, the Siren was tightly bound, like a snake hunting its prey. And with the beak, he teased the siren’s neck.
Kiruuuuu-!
[Kuh! I didn’t like you at all! They cross my territory every day! Let’s make a decision today!]
Siren and Zepes seemed to fight often over territory.
Siren and Zepes engaged in a fierce battle in the air, and I ran away like a shrimp caught in a whale fight and piled up seal stacks.
“No, but this chewy ignores me until the end?”
You have already built your ninth seal stack. Even so, Zepes didn’t care about me.
Then you have to follow Pay the price for your carelessness.
“The Hunter’s Seal.”
The long-awaited tenth stack was stamped on Zepes’ body.
Flirting?
Then Zepes, who was fiercely attacking the Siren, widened his eyes and stiffened his body.
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not long after, he was trembling and trembling in pain. As 10 seal stacks were filled, a whopping 30% of HP was deleted at once.
[Die!]
Without missing the chance, the siren bit hard on Zepes’ neck.
I also prepared a finishing attack.
Pajijijijik-!
“Siren! Abandon this bastard and step back!”
[Yes Master!]
As soon as my order was given, the siren released her neck from her grip and flew up behind her, shaking her body. Zepes, who was quite shocked, could hardly keep his balance.
“Ride the lightning.”
I flew forward the lightning I was holding in my left hand and at the same time used a skill to appear in front of him.
“You’ve been ignoring me too much dude. A mere monster is arrogant. A hunter’s seal.”
Using the hunter’s seal skill one more time, swinging a fist with lightning. I used the skill in the sense that it hurts more when it hurts.
When the skill was activated, my fist pierced the bulging eyes. My forearms, up to my shoulders, were buried in his eyeballs.
Kiruuuuu?!
The lightning that rode through the eyeball and burned Zepes’ brain. A thick smoke and a terrible burnt smell leaked out of his gaping mouth and ears.
With a plop-!
Zepes fell into the sea as it was. After I pulled out my arm from the charred eyeball, a system message appeared in front of me saying that the quest had been completed.
But now I’m not in the mood to watch it.
“… What?”
The firepower of the lightning just now… Is more than I thought.
No matter how Zepes fought the Siren and his health was reduced by 30% due to the Hunter’s Seal, he would die in one shot? Are you a monster?
“Does this really enhance psychic powers? Doesn’t it? There are no such characteristics or skills?”
When I selected the [Monster Hunter] Superpower, I carefully read the effects of each attribute and skill. At that time, time was all over, so I was able to film supernatural powers quite leisurely.
You can be sure of this.
Monster hunters can enhance their physical abilities, but they cannot enhance their superpowers.
So what happened to the firepower just now?
Even if I drained 30% of her health and the Siren slashed her health with the battle, I would still have at least 40% more health left. However, he ignored all of them and killed them instantly in one shot. This was firepower beyond my prediction range.
“Oh fuck.”
If you do this wrong, won’t you accidentally kill a gumiho? Are you rather embarrassed because you have become so strong? Shouldn’t have had this superpower?
“Nonsense… Killing monsters so easily?”
At that time, I heard the voice of Peter the Elder, who was astonished in my ears. Let’s think about firepower later.
“Mr. Peter?”
“…”
Elder Peter, who was staring at the dead Zepes corpse as if possessed, raised his head at the sound of my voice. His eyes met hers, and I leaped into the air and landed on top of the siren’s head.
“Above the siren’s head…!”
Seeing me like this, Elder Peter’s eyes widened.
“You know we bet.”
“…”
“I think I won… Right?”
Peter smiled at the surprised old man and said.
