Chapter 156
Episode 156
You can tell by looking at Yongyong’s reaction.
These self-proclaimed divines are competitive with each other.
If you scratch it gently, this reaction comes out.
“No? Your friend tamed a monster and made him a pet monster. “You can’t do it?”
[Do you think I can’t do it?]
“I’m asking because I don’t think I can do it.”
[Because you can do it.]
“If you’re having a hard time, why not call your friend over.”
If you bring me in, I might try another opportunity.
Yongyong raises his eyes at my words.
[Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking?]
“You’re saying it’s purely because you want to ask for advice?”
[You’re funny!]
It’s not over yet.
Got to the point.
“Or you can help me. But can you do it?”
[There is!]
“How do I do it?”
[But it’s easier said than done. They are completely pickled with hostility towards humans. The thought circuit itself is designed to destroy humans.]
“You can’t change that?”
[It’s impossible.]
Ultimately, you can’t do it, right?
It’s like a useless thing.
“I heard your friend tamed a monster as a pet.”
[To be precise, it is possible because it is a divine beast. I can do it too. But humans are different.]
Yongyong then began to explain about monsters.
The reason why Shinsu was able to make monsters into pets was by overpowering them with differences in ‘species’ and eliciting their obedience.
But humans are different.
It is said that monsters are designed to harbor hostility toward humans right down to their bones, and if you try to completely defeat them, most of them die before that happens.
That means you just have to break it, right?
[I heard it’s difficult!]
“The key will be to break down the hostility.”
[Didn’t you hear me? That’s impossible.]
“What if I catch a weak monster?”
[…That may be possible, but you’re not satisfied with that, right?]
You have a good eye for seeing. As Yongyong said, what I’m aiming for is to tame at least level 8 plus level harmful monsters.
However, it is said that this level of monsters can never be tamed, and it was the same during Nuri and Garam.
Then I’ll have to change my method.
“How about something like this?”
[Huh?]
“You’re going to catch a plus-level monster and pull out its heart. And what if I transplant this to a low-level monster?”
[uh? I never thought about that…]
“You adapt step by step.”
[The possibility is low. However, if it is a guy with strong vitality, it might be possible.]
Looking at Yongyong’s reaction, it seemed like there was a lot of possibility.
I got the point right.
A guy with a big head will have a strong sense of hostility towards humans. In that case, low-hazard level monsters with smaller heads still have less hostility. I hunt it down and train it to follow me. My plan is to replace the heart of such an obedient monster with a plus level one.
[There are several problems.]
Yongyong pointed it out right away.
First, you need to activate the heart of the plus stage monster you want to transplant. This means that force is constantly being consumed.
You have to find a monster that suits your aptitude.
It must be an entity that can continuously appropriate power.
In other words, it was like transplanting an organ, you had to find a suitable monster.
[But the possibility seems higher than taming the monsters you say are at the plus level.]
“That’s right.”
Since Yongyong said it, the hypothesis was correct to some extent.
Raising and using pets isn’t my thing, but since I was the one who wanted a pet, I guess I’ll have to adapt.
Now all that’s left is to hunt down monsters and test the hypothesis.
I immediately headed to Danyang-gun, where Dodam was scheduled to arrive.
When we arrived at the scene, the residents had evacuated in preparation for the monster’s attack.
What remained on the front lines were government hunting teams to hunt down rampaging monsters from various places, personnel from the Awakened Security Office, and civil servants from the Danyang County Office.
But there were also many reporters. Bringing in reporters when it’s not enough to focus on hunting monsters? Why are government officials here?
When I saw people who had not seen the Awakening, they seemed hesitant.
Just looking at it, I wonder if it was done by that side and not this side.
The first person to greet me was, of course, the mayor of Danyang County. This person is the culprit.
“Thank you for coming, Choi Jun-ho Choin.”
“Was it the governor who called the reporters?”
“Haha, that’s right. “I want to let you know about the heroic actions of Superhuman Choi Jun-ho, who works tirelessly day and night to hunt monsters… Ugh!”
When I hear bullshit like this, my allergy kicks in and my hands go out first. I broke the reporter’s camera as he pressed the shutter with a wave of my hand.
“What are you doing?”
“What are you doing?”
“Now the people’s right to know….”
“To watch with death?”
Are there still reporters who say such bullshit?
Once you spray it with life, it becomes quiet. I guess he had no intention of risking death.
I spoke to the Awakened Security Office staff.
“Let them all out.”
“Yes yes!”
“Choi Jun-ho is superhuman! “What are you doing?”
The governor of Danyang County struggled and shouted even though he was out of breath. I think my breath smells because I’m in a bad mood.
“Close your mouth.”
“Now wait a minute.”
“Shut up before I try harder.”
“Oops!”
For his own political gain, he brought a bunch of reporters to a place where they needed to be quiet, focused, and calm. This is blatantly interfering with hunting.
Of course, I wasn’t talking about me, but other awakened people. I don’t really care about them, but at least it doesn’t stop me from risking my life for someone else.
Anyway, how do we dispose of this trash? Because of his actions, a monster could have been unleashed on the city, so should we use that as an excuse?
I thought about it that far and then immediately shook my head.
…I came forward, but I don’t think that will work. Hunting plus level monsters isn’t that difficult for me.
I looked around and saw that everyone watching the situation was silent. It would have to be that way. Because what the governor of Danyang did was so absurd.
It’s not up to the people here to sort things out. I called Myeong-guk Cheon.
– Choi Jun-ho, did something happen?
“Yes, it happened.”
-Is there anything that needs to be done at the Blue House? If you tell me, I will quickly rush to take care of it. No, I will go there.
“You don’t have to come. “The county governor here arbitrarily dragged reporters in and set them up.”
-…I will handle it.
“Oh, I already took care of it. “Please do not disturb me from now on.”
-yes? Are you sure you killed me?
I don’t know what happened to my image.
Anyone who sees him will think he’s killing everyone he can get his hands on.
Well, now that I think about it, there are overwhelmingly more people killed than saved.
Still, I only killed the ones I wanted to kill.
“I didn’t kill him, I just subdued him.”
-after! Fortunately, the. All right. Please leave the rest to me.
After all, it’s reliable.
After finishing the phone call with Cheon Myeong-guk, I threw away the unconscious Danyang County Governor. After receiving a report on Dodam’s location, he instructed the hunting team to defend their respective areas.
I can handle the rest myself.
After that, I headed to the place where Sobaek Mountain is located to deal with Dodam.
* * *
Looks like a huge dump truck.
This is my impression after seeing Dodam. Why was this guy given this name? I understand the intention was to make people not afraid of monsters, but I thought it didn’t really match Nuri’s appearance.
[You look ignorant.]
Yongyong was thinking the same thing as me. It had the shape of a wild boar and was 15 meters tall and looked ignorant.
“Let’s catch it first.”
I kicked the air and went forward and landed in front of Dodam.
It looks bigger up close.
When Dodam saw me, his eyes became bloodshot and he began to emit a terrifying force.
Woooooo!
I snorted and my whole body was engulfed in force. The enormously sized guy started running towards me with ferocious energy.
This is an incredibly ignorant attack.
I kicked the ground and dodged his attack. And a mine was inserted into the nape of the neck. Still, I don’t give up. The guy who ignored the mine passed by where I was and tore the tall tree to shreds in the collision, as if he couldn’t overcome the momentum. It didn’t stop there, it collided with a cliff in the distance.
Then the cliff in front of me collapsed.
Coo! thud! Gurgling! Kkwagwagwang!
A small rock mountain flew away?
[and! That’s really ignorant.]
I also agreed with Yongyong’s sentiments.
It was an attack that could be said to be ignorant. No, is it just a headbutt? A huge stone tomb emerged from the spreading dust.
After a while, Dodam, who had been buried in a pile of stones, appeared. As hard as the leather was, it was intact without any scratches.
What should I say about this? Hummer? bulldozer? It felt like I was going to push away everything in front of me.
Looking at me, Dodam showed his will to live again. He is so straightforward and strong that he is ignorant. If you go head-to-head with this guy, it will be a durability battle to see who will break first.
There is no need to go along with ignorant methods.
I pulled out Nuri and charged at him first, moved aside, and cast a blast of blades on the guy’s neck.
As the dizzying storm of blades tore through his skin, Dodam screamed and twisted his whole body.
[Die.]
When I conveyed my murderous intent through Hye-gwang Sim-eo, the guy who suffered the mental attack stopped. Meanwhile, a large hole was drilled in his neck.
Grrrr!
Even though his fatal vital point was pierced, Dodam screamed and struggled.
I almost got caught up in it without being able to pick Nuri. I stepped back and watched, and saw that even though blood was gushing out, its eyes were fixed on me. My eyes were completely rolled back.
At this level, I think he’s just going crazy.
I looked at Yongyong, who was leisurely flying around, and asked.
“This won’t be able to be tamed, right?”
[Absolutely not!]
I just tried it once. It was like a wild boar running wild. As they ran wild in all directions, the forest was devastated and the ground was torn up in various places as if a bomb had been dropped.
Imagine this guy in the middle of the city.
Even if the hunt is successful, the city will be devastated.
I jumped on the back of the rampaging guy. He twisted his whole body to throw me off, but it was just a low-level struggle.
“Let’s finish.”
After stabbing Nuri once again, he twisted it and cast a storm of blades. As an enormous amount of force penetrated the wound, Dodam screamed in sorrow and struggled, then his movements subsided.
thud!
“Ignorant guy.”
It only lasted a moment, but it moved over 30 meters. If I hadn’t been wearing a force shield, I would have been buried in the dense forest and my limbs would have been broken like a puppet.
I clicked my tongue and told him the news that the hunt was over, then cut open his chest and took out his heart.
I guess I should make good use of this and make a pet. It will take some time for the cleaning team to come, so let’s take a look around and give it a try.
At that time, I saw Yongyong eating his appetite next to me.
[looks delicious. It looks fresh.]
“What?”
[No, it’s nothing. Don’t worry about me.]
Yongyong must have liked this monster’s heart. I’ll have to get another one later and use it as bait. I got some good information.
“Are there any monsters around?”
[There are things running away from there. Are you going to try it right away?]
“Uh.”
With the help of Yongyong’s radar, I set out to find a nearby monster.
The method is to subjugate the one with a lower level of harm first and then replace the heart.
But problems arose from the first step.
“You don’t listen to what I say?”
[It’s because the hostility is strong. Should I go to a lower level?]
“That’s right.”
The monster I just hunted seemed to be level 6 harmful, but it had to be lowered further. I have no hobby of raising a weak child step by step. I thought it wouldn’t be easy.
“huh?”
It was then. I reflexively turned my head to the gaze I felt from afar.
[Huh?]
Yongyong had the same reaction. That means it is not an illusion.
“Did you feel it too?”
[I felt like something was looking at me, but I didn’t feel very good. It’s not easy to feel this way…]
I was the same as not feeling very good. What can I say, it felt like I was being searched from head to toe with persistent searching eyes.
Added to this is the hostility towards me.
“Shall I chase you?”
[You won’t find it? It disappeared right away. He ran away.]
Yongyong was as he said. If you can no longer detect its presence, it means that it has hidden its force.
The monster hides its power? This is a phenomenon I have never seen before.
I thought this was a troublesome guy. When I get back, I’ll see if there were any other monster reactions.
“Let’s go back.”
[Yes.]
* * *
The Earth Dragon looked at the mountain in front of him with burning eyes.
There is an ‘enemy’ in front of me who killed his child and wife.
A wife whose child’s neck was strangely twisted died with blood flowing all over her body.
They lost everything without even being able to find the bodies of their dead family members. In the wake of his family’s death, the Earth Dragon swore revenge.
From then on, the steps to increase strength began.
He faced monsters stronger than himself and fought against many.
There were moments of crisis, but he was the last one standing. The Earth Dragon grew stronger by eating the enemies it defeated.
I wanted to express my anger right away and kill my enemy.
But it didn’t work. The enemy was so strong that it gave me goosebumps. He easily dealt with an enemy that even he couldn’t predict.
You must become stronger than you are now. Only by gaining the power to transcend everything will you be able to take revenge and destroy the world that has targeted you and your family.
It was time to gain strength.
To deal with the enemy who tore his children to pieces and caused his wife to commit suicide.
After controlling his anger and losing his momentum, the Earth Dragon quietly turned around.
