A subjugation request from the World Hunter Federation.

It was a project created in the early days of Gate, when the military was being consumed by endless wars of attrition and the highest level of superpowers was B level.

Due to the transparency characteristic, physical forces excluding psychic energy can freely pass through.

With telepathy, ordinary soldiers can be controlled just by approaching them.

Even illusions that even machines cannot distinguish between hallucinations.

The plan was to gather B-class hunters from each country and deal with them in order to catch monsters with supernatural powers that existing military forces could not deal with.

And in the process of discussion, the scope of the subjugation target was expanded to include the highest grade, A grade monsters and many B grade monsters that could not be dealt with in their own country.

It was promoted and resolved as a cause to drive out monsters and protect humanity’s territory.

And no one took the initiative to step forward.

It’s hard to handle the gates in our own country right now, so why not send hunters abroad?

Not only the country, but also the hunters are unpaid, and it is difficult for even those with a cause to turn a blind eye to the horrors of their country, so applicants are few and far between.

In the end, the subjugation request was carried out three or four times after it was first decided, and then came to naught.

And after it became a forgotten system for several years, a class A psychic came forward with a concept close to relief work, and several subjugation requests were successfully completed, making its name known to the world again.

However, the superpower was injured while fighting a Class A monster and retired, and since no one came forward for nearly 10 years, the business was forgotten again.

However, it is a project in which only the staff of the World Hunter Federation constantly updates the request list.

And I began hunting down the A-class monsters on Earth through this subjugation request that was still in existence.

The first prey is a monster called Leviathan.

An earthly monster with a body similar to a crocodile and eight long legs.

The basic weight class is over 100m. The largest one is up to 200m.

Considering that the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, is 30 meters long, this is a frightening amount of money.

This size is possible because it is a species that is premised on the supernatural power of physical strength.

And there are three characteristics of physical strength that this monster called Leviathan is born with.

Super strength, hardening, becoming gigantic.

A whopping three characteristics. In addition, it has a gigantic characteristic that is famous for being powerful.

If Goliath, whose gigantism is at the C level, increases his height by 3 times, then at the A level, his height increases 10 times.

At the point when it becomes gigantic, Leviathan has a weight class of km.

Specs that can easily crush those with Class A body enhancement abilities that are already in the same class.

In fact, when it appears, it is a monster that summons not only the military but also many A-level talents to subdue it in a war of attrition for three days and nights.

Therefore, the name given was Leviathan because it had the same power as a nation.

And there was a man who explained that information passionately.

“…To subdue him without military support, you need at least five A-level hunters. How about going back now?”

The Hunter Association employee who guided me to Cambodia, where Leviathan lives, said so.

Of course, it was no coincidence that my first subjugation opponent was this semi-S-class monster, Leviathan.

Chairman Kim Moo-young, who tried to stop me by saying that he would carry out all subjugation requests, was my worst enemy, chosen to tame me and subdue me.

That’s why a man from the association I’ve never seen before, rather than Chae Yu-ah, who is my exclusive employee, is sticking next to me.

To stop me and persuade me.

but

“You’re the perfect opponent to warm up with. Please tell the president of the association that you are grateful for choosing a good partner.”

It was a suitable opponent for me, who had already fought against a mountain range that was dozens of kilometers in weight class.

“Uh, Hunter Lim Yuhan? Wait a minute, wait a minute!”

I shook off the association staff and ran toward the Leviathan devouring the forest in the distance.

“Uh, huh?! Im Yuhan!! If you die, I will take care of it!! Lim Yu-han, you haircut bastard!!”

I could hear people swearing at me from behind, but I didn’t care.

‘Using magic energy or blood magic energy would be too noticeable. We have to worry about our external appearance too… Let’s just use force and slaughter.’

Since I registered as an A-level person with physical strengthening abilities, this was the most appropriate.

I awakened a spirit of anger with the essence of slaughter.

And the union with the anger spirit.

Accordingly, the essence of slaughter dwelled in me, and ominous power and energy formed in my hands.

‘Is this the power of slaughter?’

I realized that just by touching life with these hands, it could pierce the body, grind it to death, and cause death.

The essence of slaughter from which the weapon evolved brought out the results of the weapon being wielded.

I grabbed the intangible energy that was writhing ominously in my hand and struck the Leviathan’s body with my fist.

“Black Island!”

“Sussseu?”

Before becoming gigantic, Leviathan was hit by my attack when it was still only 140m long.

Then, a hole appeared in its body, as if it had been pierced by a spear.

The power of slaughter penetrated his body according to the trajectory of my hand.

“Kwaaagh!!!”

“The effect is certain.”

This killing power can overcome the difference in weight class.

On the outside, it can be seen as a variant of physical enhancement combined with telekinesis, so it can be used as desired.

“Kooo!!!”

Leviathan, which received a preemptive attack, immediately casts gigantism, rapidly expanding its body and pushing me away who was nearby.

Then I touched the flesh and skin of the Leviathan pushing me with my hands, and that part began to become tattered, as if it had been cut with a knife.

“You can also use it this way.”

It was possible to inflict damage on an opponent simply by touching it.

The power of the essence of slaughter was quite useful.

‘War, massacre, and annihilation were the possibilities of slaughter. ‘Which is better?’

The compatibility with Anger Simma also had to be taken into consideration.

This is what I found out while comparing the five simmas that currently have essences, and there was compatibility between the sima and essences.

The combination of joy and fantasy was the one with the worst performance.

‘The concept of war would be most suitable for anger. Plus, it’s the easiest to grow.’

Even if we just pour energy into it and grow it in its current state, it could become a war.

Because war is a concept that deepens the essence of carnage of fighting and killing.

I chose a path toward anger, stopped thinking about essence, and refocused on the battle.

“S-Gyahya!!”

Leviathan roared in anger at my murderous energy tearing his skin and flesh to pieces.

Then, Leviathan lifted up its nearby leg and brought it down towards me.

I did not dodge and just accepted his attack.

And I was pinned to the ground like a nail by its weight and force.

There was no damage to my body, but the ground I was standing on could not support it.

The crushing pressure of its enormous weight.

But I’m fine. Rather, the dirt that I am stepping on is supporting my weight, so the burden is less.

“Sgyaakaaa!!!”

Rather, it is Leviathan that takes the hit.

When I raised my hand to the sky and blocked the leg of the guy who was slashing, the energy of slaughter was rushing back and tearing my leg apart from the inside.

‘Slaughter is actually a good match for someone with a large body.’

Even though I was nailed into the ground, I moved my body freely, like a mole pushing the dirt.

‘I’m too lazy to go back underground, so I’ll go back to my body.’

I moved my hand and tore the leg leather of the guy holding me down with my fingers and dug inside.

To put it simply, it burrowed into his leg like a parasite.

And I noticed that my clothes were instantly melting as I delved into its body.

‘Leviathan’s blood is poison, no, it’s no different from hydrochloric acid. The antibody itself is trying to dissolve other substances in the body.’

As a monster that is a biological weapon that Saint Menas spread on Earth, it has countermeasures against internal attacks.

However, it is life-threatening even for a B-level person.

To me, it doesn’t even sting.

I moved like this to reach vital parts such as his heart and brain.

And then something sharp dug out of the monster’s body, and it was torn off like a piece of flesh.

Sigh!

“Oh.”

I never thought they would rip off the entire flesh, not even caring about the damage to the body.

I admired the bold action of the monster and observed something tearing away flesh around me and me.

The thing that ripped off the flesh was a long, pointed thorn tentacle extending out of the body that looked like a mixture of the tentacles attached to the creature’s mouth and teeth.

In addition, there were countless tentacles sprouting from its mouth, and they rushed towards me all at once, digging into the flesh ripped from my leg and where I was.

“This guy has tentacles instead of teeth in his mouth.”

I said as I ripped off the tentacle that was attacking me.

Clearly, this monster was far from an ordinary creature.

Even to me, who travels between different worlds, it seems foreign to me.

It felt unnatural and artificial.

“Guoowaaaa!!”

Leviathan turns around and charges directly at me after the tentacles’ all-out attack gave no results.

The bridge that was hanging in front collided with me, which was floating in the air.

I was amazed at its strength as it withstood the collision in place as an immovable group.

Although it is 10% shorter than Loa like Mountain Range or Mantle, its strength can be seen as rivaling that of S-class, perhaps due to the fact that it is a living creature and its superpowers.

‘It’s definitely too strong to be considered A-level. ‘The synergy of being huge and having a physique that exceeds 100m creates a level of strength that is transcendental compared to its class.’

What if its basic physique was bigger than that of Leviathan, and its level of gigantism reached S-class?

Mountain ranges may be easy to play with.

‘Superpowers also have some pretty scary aspects. I wonder what other monsters are like.’

I nodded at the possibility of superpowers and decided to take out the Leviathan, which began rampaging and destroying the forest.

The power of slaughter gathered in one’s hands.

There was something I realized while wielding slaughter.

In fact, this is not a power like energy, but a concept closer to the shadow exerted by essence.

To put it simply, it was a result that naturally followed my actions.

The ritual of gathering strength is actually close to moving the essence within the body.

I formed my hand into the shape of a capital, then concentrated my essence and power and drew a line in the air.

Wow!

Leviathan’s split paw.

According to the action of my hand, the power of slaughter crossed the distance and cut down.

“Is this fun?”

I continued to move my hands as if drawing pictures in the air.

Leviathan’s body begins to split apart.

Slaughter was the essence of A-grade, but the power of the body that made it was S-grade.

A murderous slash no different from the power of an S class.

Leviathan suffered death with his entire body ravaged like that.

“It’s bland. Does Class A mean Class A?”
