Spot!

7 giant bats.

They rushed at Shin Ji-yeon, who was at the forefront of the intruders, and attacked her from all directions.

This is scary when monsters rush in in droves.

Even if you don’t have a particularly great strategy or attack pattern, you can’t avoid attacking from all directions.

But Shin Ji-yeon.

“In cases like this, don’t waste as much movement as possible. It is important to avoid moving as much as possible.”

As I said that, I began to avoid the bats’ scratch attacks and wing attacks by a margin of a piece of paper.

“That way, time is saved until the next action. Well… I made a mistake at first and got hit and even brushed against it. Still, it’s better than dodging for no reason and getting hit by a follow-up hit.”

The sight of her calmly explaining while avoiding the attacks of giant bats flying from all directions.

It was creepy and cool.

“…Wow, such a cheap person.”

“Kiik…”

At Jihoon Park’s admiration, Brianna nodded in agreement.

‘Come to think of it, Brianna was a warrior too.’

Goblin female warrior Brianna.

Although she wields a whip, she is also a mid-range fighter in her own right.

That’s how amazing Shin Ji-yeon’s appearance will be.

‘Kar is…’

“……”

Karr was watching Shin Ji-yeon’s movements intently, without any time to breathe.

For her, she is a fighter who fights in close combat even more than Shin Ji-yeon.

Because that kind of movement is really needed.

‘Kar, well, you’re still strong.’

Even though Park Ji-hoon’s stats were lower than they are now, Brianna and Park Ji-hoon.

I fought quite well against both of them.

‘If I were alone, I would have lost.’

That’s how strong Kar was.

But suddenly, Park Ji-hoon had this thought.

‘But familiars… don’t grow?’

Growth of familiars.

yourself grow up

Due to the effect of the female hunter.

Well, Shin Ji-yeon says she won’t grow unless she takes something like an elixir.

Aren’t monsters different?

Of course, for reasons similar to the lack of trained monsters, much research on the ecology of monsters has not been conducted.

That’s why monsters live and how they evolve.

How they reproduce, etc.

There are many things that are not revealed.

‘But considering that it has evolved into a humanoid and that there are higher-level species such as hobgoblins and red orcs… wouldn’t there be no possibility of growth at all?’

While I was thinking about that.

“How are you, senior? Did you enjoy it?”

“Huh?!”

Before Shin Ji-yeon knew it, she had cut down all 7 giant bats.

We returned to where the party was.

She asks if you enjoyed her swordsmanship demonstration.

But unfortunately, Park Ji-hoon was unable to see her movements properly because he was thinking about other things.

“…I’m sorry. Show me one more time.”

He smiled awkwardly and asked for an encore.

#

“Phew, what do you think? Do you think I understand?”

After Shin Ji-yeon successfully exterminated the group of giant bats, she asked Park Ji-hoon.

“Hmm…”

If you ask me if I think I would know how to kill an enemy with actual sword skills.

“I think I know what it feels like.”

Shin Ji-yeon’s movements were so friendly that even beginners could recognize them, and she explained them well in words.

I could understand it completely in my head.

There was also the virtue of responding to her movements while sparring hard in the training room earlier.

But I wonder if you can recreate that with your own body.

‘I think it’s still a bit difficult.’

To be honest, martial arts is not something you can say you can see with your own eyes after sparring for a day.

Park Ji-hoon has a base called fighting skills, but it is still difficult.

“I’ll give it a try when the next group comes out.”

Park Ji-hoon answers like that.

For some reason, Shin Ji-yeon’s appearance was strange.

“Huh? what? E?”

She wasn’t listening to Park Ji-hoon.

He was tilting his head, looking into space, as if he was looking at a notification window.

“What’s wrong?”

Could it be that something happened?

Park Ji-hoon asked with a worried voice.

However, Shin Ji-yeon’s answer was completely unexpected.

“Well… I heard my stats went up. Muscle strength 1.”

“Huh? Stats?”

My stats went up.

So isn’t that a good thing?

But why is he making such a strange expression?

‘But why suddenly? ‘Have you achieved any achievement?’

It is unlikely that the giant bat, an E-rank monster, would have a stat elixir, so the only possibility is achievement.

‘Well, the achievement of driving a small bus… did you achieve something like that?’

That’s what I think.

Shin Ji-yeon said something unexpected again.

“That… Yes, familiar growth effect? What do you mean?”

“Huh? What?”

Familiar growth effect?

The moment Park Ji-hoon heard those words, he felt dizzy for a moment.

Shin Ji-yeon is his familiar.

But the stats increased due to the familiar growth effect?

Just by hunting monsters?

‘Could it be that this is also the effect of being an alpha male?’

No, it may be an ability granted to the familiar itself.

Well, anyway, that means…

“My familiar grows?”

I don’t even have a skill that increases my stats.

In fact, they even raised the abilities of Shin Ji-yeon, a hunter whose abilities were supposed to be fixed and not growing.

“Then…”

Jihoon Park slowly turned his head to Kar and Brianna.

‘Are they growing up too?’

Even hunters whose stats are said to be fixed increase their stats when they hunt monsters.

Then, the monsters Kar and Brianna are the same familiars and receive the same synergistic effect.

Then, from now on, let your familiars grow up like Park Ji-hoon himself.

You will rise to a higher level and be able to enter gates of higher ranks as well.

‘Crazy… alpha male, why are you such a fraud?’

A skill that shows crazy abilities the more you sell it.

Really, it was truly an ‘alpha’ email.

‘Honestly, I thought that after I grew up, low-ranking girls like Carna and Brianna would feel like monster sex partners…’

But it’s a different story if they grow up together.

Doesn’t this mean that, like Park Ji-hoon, if given time, he will one day reach A rank and S rank?

“ and my senior… I, I… ”

At that time, Shin Ji-yeon’s trembling voice was heard from behind.

“Can I become stronger?! Is it possible to get to A rank?!”

Her excited voice.

As expected, she seemed very excited to hear that she was also a hunter and could become stronger.

“Uh, uh. I think so? I don’t think it’s a one-time thing… If you continue to be my servant…”

“Then it will continue to grow. Haaa~”

Shin Ji-yeon has already declared that she will remain his familiar for the rest of her life.

So, you can receive growth effects as a lifelong familiar.

She was happy like a child that she could become stronger.

“Kyaaa! Me too, I can see the succubus sister, the demon sister, and the dragon sister!”

“……”

‘Like a Child’ canceled.

#

“Haaa…!”

Wow!

Remembering Shin Ji-yeon’s movements, Park Ji-hoon swung his sword while avoiding the giant bats’ attacks as narrowly as possible.

There was nothing slightly awkward about her.

Still, I followed along easily.

“Oh, as expected, a senior. I learn quickly.”

“Phew… What’s faster? I almost finished the gate, so I barely did the same thing.”

Plus, her movements were a slow version.

It was understandable that Park Ji-hoon lacked confidence.

“But this is really fast. Shall we go to the boss room with that momentum?”

As I worked hard to learn swordsmanship, a place that appeared to be the boss room suddenly appeared before my eyes.

A wall suddenly appeared in a large cave.

There was a hole barely big enough for two people to pass through.

Beyond that hole, I saw a very wide and large cavity.

That must be the boss room.

“Boss.”

“Boss…”

At the word boss, Park Ji-hoon and Shin Ji-yeon.

The two began to secretly look forward to it.

Kar and Brianna.

Because they were both bosses.

‘He’s a bat beast. ‘Do you think it has wings or something like a succubus?’

‘Because he’s the boss, doesn’t he have special abilities? Something like stimulating it with ultrasound…’

The boss room I entered with such anticipation.

And the boss that appeared.

[ warning! Enter the boss room and the boss monster will appear! ]

[Boss monster, Queen Bat has appeared! ]

It wasn’t named like Karna or Brianna.

But what a ‘Queen Bat’!

Because of that title, the two people had even greater expectations.

‘If you’re the queen, do you think you’ll use the whip a bit like Brianna? Wearing some really vulgar leather clothes…’

‘Queen! Queen! ‘Queen!’

however.

“Keee!”

What appeared was about three times larger than other giant bats.

It was a huge, disgusting-looking bat.

“…Holy fuck!”

“They said she was a queen… They said she was a queen…”

Upon seeing that, Park Ji-hoon let out an angry curse.

Shin Ji-yeon kept muttering the same thing with empty eyes, as if she had lost everything in the world.

“Kieeh… Kuttang?!”

“Shut up, you monster!”

Park Ji-hoon flew his sword in anger and literally hit the queen bat with all his might.

[Face a female monster. ]

[Skill ‘Alpha Male’ is activated. ]

[Stats increase. ]

[This effect lasts as long as the female remains alive during combat. ]

[The female monster temporarily stiffens and shrinks. ]

“Fuck, I understand, so don’t act like a bitch. Because it makes me more angry.”

He was even angry at the notification that he was a female monster.

“Keee~!!”

So, unlike the majestic scream that came out of the Queen Bat’s mouth for the first time.

A desperate cry, driven by survival instinct, erupted.

So is the queen bat.

Due to the overwhelming stat difference and rigidity.

Before he could even demonstrate his skills properly, he was executed by Park Ji-hoon’s sword.

[The female monster has been defeated. The female hunter effect is activated. ]

[ Strength increases by 1. ]

[ Quickness increases by 1. ]

[You have cleared the E-rank gate ‘Giant Bat Cave’. ]

“Phew…”

“…Let’s go back.”

Just like that, the gate was cleared without any real emotion.

“Kiik…”

Kar and Brianna looked at the queen bat that had died horribly.

I felt goosebumps growing all over my body.

Especially Kar, if he was unable to evolve into a beastman due to the rune stone.

I thought I would have met the same end.

My body was shaking even more.
