Chapter 407 – #408 Hunt on the Hunt (3)
#408 Hunt on Hunt (3)
“Somehow, the smell of animals wafted through the forest… And they were committing such atrocities.”
“Master.”
“Leave us and only took care of Riel… I’m sorry, Master!”
Soon after, Raonjena, the Flame Witch, and the succubus appeared. I wondered if he would call for the safety of Alice and Sujeong, but in the end he called them.
Even if, like I thought, crazy monster hunters who were fascinated by the beauty of Alice and Sujeongi attacked the two, I was able to protect them with all my strength except for the three.
First of all, I gave Sanctuary Armor to Alice and Sujeongi, and above all, there were me (Maktou), Jina, and Highwog in the village.
For reference, the doppelganger was not put into hunting for beasts. Doppelgangers and sirens were flying through the sky looking for Zero.
This expedition ends when Zero is captured. If he finds Zero through his doppelganger and siren, he will cut his throat right there.
So, I couldn’t put it into hunting.
“Yes, I was wrong.”
He appeased the succubus, who was clearly showing a sad expression, and told them what they had to do. Me (Maktu), who remained in the village, had already explained what was happening in the forest.
“For now, you guys focus on rescuing people. If you find a person, take them to the village. And I taught you how to tell the beast person apart, right?”
“You mean wearing animal skins?”
“Yeah. If there’s a baby in animal skins, step on it. If it seems difficult, make a loud noise. Then I’ll run to you.”
I pointed to Laonzena.
“Especially Raonjena, you focus on rescuing rather than fighting. You know why?”
I picked her up on her cock and gave her attention.
I can look after the fight with Three and Nine. ‘Cause I’m alive after all
But zero is different.
He was different from the other executives, and if Raon Jenna fought him, she would really die.
“Sheesh. I was thinking of trying out witchcraft this time… Okay.”
At my warning, Raon Jenna clicked her tongue, but then she nodded.
‘Hmm… What is it?’
She would do it so easily, she replied, but she was rather suspicious. With this in mind, it’s not going to turn your eyes like the black market, right?
Well, it doesn’t matter if Zero isn’t my opponent.
Except for Zero and Won, there were no more executives left in Slater. All of them were killed or captured alive by my hand, and even the one remaining executive is in the Dark City.
Therefore, except for Zero and other monsters, there was no opponent who could kill Raonjena.
A monster hunter equipped with superpowers, Zero is a scary beggar. Monster hunters, ordinary beastmen without superpowers, can be defeated by Raonjena as much as they like.
“Now then let’s move. Oh, and if you run into a monster at all, run unconditionally. At that time, take care of your safety even if you abandon people. Okay?
In the mean time, the small monsters had already run away or hid in this area for a long time. This is because the beastmen hunted not only humans but also monsters as soon as they saw them.
Even though I was a monster, my life was precious.
However, the reason I warned the three of them about monsters is that there are still a few monsters that do not run away or hide.
Just a big monster.
Even veteran beastmen with a lot of monster hunting experience could not easily touch them, and they were still guarding their territory.
Maybe because of the beasts, the head was full of heat. People and animals get angry when their territory is invaded.
“Then I’ll go.”
“Be careful, master.”
“If I rescue the most people, do you give me a prize? I’ll look forward to it, Master.”
The three women dispersed to different places to save the people who were trembling in fear that the beasts would find them.
“Now, then, shall I continue hunting?”
I too moved.
*****
Sniff-
“… What about this smell?”
Zero’s black eyebrows wriggled at the strange smell that stung his nose.
Monsters, beastmen, and human body odors vibrated in the forest where brutal human hunting was currently taking place. The smell of blood was thick enough to see how many lives had died while the hunt was taking place.
It wasn’t human, beast, or monster. The foreign smell that Zero sniffed did not belong to any of them.
And he reacted with zero sensitivity to this foreign smell.
It had to be.
It was the smell that lingered in his memory.
“I can’t believe… That bastard came here?”
Zero remembered the owner of the smell and gnashed his teeth.
Steel armor.
A guy who looks like a human but isn’t human. He’s an idiot who knows how to be human. However, he is a monster with power that no one dares to surpass.
The monster that should be in Dark City is now here.
“This… Monster dares…!”
Zero vented his anger at Steel Armor, who was relentlessly pursuing him.
The greedy guy left his territory and dared to come to the land of monsters. For what reason? The purpose was obvious.
Himself.
He came all the way here to catch and eat himself.
Rattling-
Zero didn’t notice, but his hands were shaking from the moment he smelled the steel armor. Although he had never directly fought a steel armor, fear of him was imprinted on his body.
In fact, Zero was not afraid of steel armor to this extent.
Lastly, he was confident that Zero could kill any amount of Steel Armor, even until he saw it in the Black Market.
Even until he, who was a human, suddenly evolved into an unidentified monster.
“…”
Looking down at her own arm, Zero was taken aback. Only then did she realize that her hands were shaking.
“Kuk!”
He grabbed his arm with his other hand to calm it down. But the trembling did not subside in the slightest.
‘Are you afraid? Is this me?’
Zero could not be admitted.
He knows he’s afraid of someone.
So far, Zero has only felt fear from two people.
One was a father who was the king of the beast people, and the other was an older brother who had a different mother but inherited the same blood.
Both were stronger than Zero, and just looking at them made me feel fear and awe.
However, Zero, who was born with a rebellious temperament, could not admit it. He also hated having anyone over his head.
So he rebelled and killed his father.
He used his jealous mother to poison his father, and when he was weak, he pierced her neck with his steel teeth.
A battle with her older brother, who noticed this belatedly, took place, and a large black crack appeared in the sky during the battle.
Zero, along with his brother, was sucked into the rift and crash-landed in this world. That was some 300 years ago.
No matter how much grudge he had, survival in a different world was the priority. The two tiger brothers, close to each other, temporarily forgot their grudge and held hands.
In fact, Zero had no choice but to hold the hand of his brother, who was a white tiger beast. Because he was beaten to death by his brother.
So he worked under his brother for a while, secretly gathering strength and poison. And he poisoned him and rebelled, just as he had killed his father.
“…”
Zero raised two revolts, both of which were successful.
Recalling the memories of his success in the past, Zero no longer trembled. His mind, which had been stained with his anger and bewilderment, regained composure as if it had never been.
“If there’s a monster in front of you… Just cut off your head.”
It doesn’t matter if the opponent is a monster. He himself is the real monster that preys on the monster. Hasn’t he already caught the heads of two monsters twice?
“Okay, that’s fine.”
Zero smiled. And turned his body
“I’ll cut your hair, you monster.”
The monster said to the monster.
*****
The sun high in the sky drove away the darkness of the forest. Feeling that the darkness had completely disappeared, I stretched out.
“How many did you catch?”
I opened the inventory and checked the corpses of the beastmen. From tigers to wolves, owls and cats. The variety was also very diverse.
“Eight people…”
He was eager to hunt beasts all night, but he didn’t catch that many.
This is not because of my poor hunting skills. Um… Let’s say this one more time because it’s important. It wasn’t because my hunting skills were so bad that I only caught 8 people.
In the first place, the number of prisoners was not so large.
The number of people per village is at most 10. Even that would be less than 10 if human monster hunters were included in the single number, which could be said to be the middle class of Slater.
In other words, the number of people currently moving with Zero is at most 40.
Since the number of beastmen was so small from the beginning, this number of eight is by no means small. It’s absolutely not because of my poor hunting skills! It’s important, so underline it! Five stars!
“Master!”
When I returned to the village, the Dark Lady greeted me. Flame Witch, Raonjena, and Succubus, who belatedly participated in the rescue operation, had returned to the village before me.
I briefly heard about their performance, but the Dark Lady killed three and the Flame Witch killed one. Raonjena and the succubus couldn’t kill a single one, but they rescued as many people as they could and brought them back to the village.
“Yeah? Well done everyone.”
I patted each of them on the head and praised them.
More prisoners would have died during the night if I hadn’t urged them to focus on rescuing lives. It wasn’t sad or disappointing. In the first place, they were a small number, so the number of 12 was by no means a small number.
By now, Zero must have been stunned.
It seems that a party called human hunting was held for the same reason as boosting morale, but a murder case took place at that party.
What will he do?
Shall we run away like before? Or will you set up multiple camps and fight against me?
If possible, I hoped that Zero would choose the latter. I was tired of playing hide and seek now.
*****
With multiple healing skills, the kids healed the people they saved.
“Try some of this.”
“Oh! Potatoes!”
The attitude of the villagers toward me and my women changed, as if they thought that I was benevolent. When I saw myself, I was anxious because I couldn’t feed myself, and I called my girls ‘fairies’.
The women were awkward but secretly enjoyed the attitude of the people who were not tolerant and even went to extremes. Everyone feels better when they are treated with utmost respect.
“Uncle Uncle!”
“Why kid?”
“Because I’m not a kid! I told you my name was ‘Henry Kahn’!”
“Yes, little Khan.”
“Woo!”
The little boy, no, Henry Kahn puffed out his cheeks and glanced at me. I giggle at that look! Burst out laughing
Ever since I treated the injured, Henry followed me around like a chewing gum.
“Tell me what you did too!”
“Tell me what?”
“The green color that healed the wounded!”
The little boy’s eyes shone brightly as she clenched her fists. It seemed that he coveted the psychic power of a healer who healed injured people in an instant.
“It’s not like you can use it just because it tells you. And you said you wanted to become the strongest monster hunter in the universe? Have you given up on that?”
“No! I don’t know if I’m the strongest in the universe, but I’m going to become a monster hunter! And I’m going to learn something green from you! Because if I learn that, people won’t die anymore!”
“And there’s a healer in your town too, right? Learn from him.”
The village was ruled by Five, a wild boar beast. And among Five’s subordinates, there was a female monster hunter with the supernatural power of a healer.
Although there is a difference in level, the effect is the same, so I thought of leaving the troublesome kid to the hunter.
“That sister is busy and won’t teach me anything!”
Henry pursed his lips.
Well, busy will be busy. It was because he had to secretly have sex with me, avoiding the eyes of others whenever he had a chance.
