Chapter 13: Seen

Young Master. Somethings not right. Its not a monster.

I know.

Youre from a noble family? Im not a merciful man, but this is a very important moment. Get out of here. Ill spare your life.

I cant do that, I have business with the person in front of you.

The words startled Schudlen.

So that bloody woman is the one Young Master Ethan was looking for?

Hed heard she was holding on for dear life, and now that he looked at her, she was dying.

If thats how you want to die, then so be it. Its like killing a mosquito, anyway.

Suddenly, the man unleashed a tremendous burst of energy.

The aura spread out around him, enveloping the three of them.

Schudlens body froze in place as he immediately drew the sword at his waist.

He tried to move, but he could only shudder, unable to move at all.

Fear.

Extreme fear enveloped him.

It was the same for Yerica.

I cant believe hes this strong.

This was it. It was all over. Neither the mysterious nobleman nor herself realized that they would all die.

But then a strange thing happened.

Huu.

With no one else moving, the weakest-looking man began to move.

It was a movement that seemed to be unaffected by the Beast Kings aura.

Ethan stepped off Shudlens back and immediately drew his sword from his belt.

The Beast King stared at him curiously.

I see, so you can move.

Ethan pointed the sword at him.

I could kill you.

It was a bluff, of course.

His level was evident in Ethans eyes.

[Lv 82]

Ethan clicked his tongue.

The man was level 80. Obviously, there were many strong people chasing Yerica, but why was there a level 80 at this time?

When it came to level 80, it was a very high level, even for the entire continent.

Since level 90 monsters were called legendary monsters, it was safe to assume that level 82 humans were also at that level.

I had a method against the monsters of the Dark Forest, but against this level 80 strong man, I have no method right now.

Ethans Heros Breathing allowed him to move without being affected by the Fear he used, which gave away who he was.

Hes not even a monster, yet he can use Fear.

There were many powerful people who used Fear, but only one had such an aura on his face.

The Beast King. I wonder if hes targeting Yericas grimoire.

The Beast King, a powerful man with superpowers.

It was a nickname given to him because he possessed one of the most devastating superpowers of all: Beastification.

Also known as the Mad Beast of Levante, he destroyed everything around him when he wanted to.

True to his nature, he was eventually captured by the Templars and taken to prison, where he also escaped after some rampage.

I knew he was after the grimoire, but who knew hed be here at this time?

Ethan frowned.

As they said, mountains over mountains, nothing was easy. (+)^[1]

TLN: Mountains over mountains, if were talking about Ethan, its basically since he was just overcoming one hardship (Defeating the Goblin Rider King) theres another hardship he has to overcome

At this point, there was only one way out.

Run away.

There wasnt a single thing in his possession that could defeat the Beast King.

So Ethan pondered his best course of action.

If Ethan couldnt take him down, he could at least survive.

Really? Then try it

The Beast King smirked, then twisted his body.

Beastification!

Then his body began to transform with a grunt.

There was a sound of bones breaking and snapping, and then his body expanded.

In an instant, he was transformed as massive as the Goblin Rider King Ethan had hunted, but with far more muscle.

Grrr, a white breath escaped from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were bloodshot and crimson, his mouth gaping like a wolfs, his teeth chilling.

He was a beast.

But now that I think about it, why do I see his level?

Ethans eyes began to glaze over as he asked the question.

As the question arose, a red dot appeared in Ethans eye.

Grin.

Ethan grinned against his will.

He couldnt believe it.

Beastification.

As the name suggests, it was a superpower that transformed him into a beast and gained immense power.

Not only his appearance, but all of his abilities would change to match the name of the beast.

In other words, he became human but not exactly human.

A monster of sorts.

And Ethans skill was one that would give him an advantage over all monsters.

Even if it was a wielder of the superpower Beastification.

The Beast King, completely transformed into a beast, roared.

Grrrrr-!

Predators had an aura that overwhelmed their prey.

The power to instill fear in their opponents!

The Fear spread to the surrounding, even stronger than before.

Schudlens stiffened body dropped to his knees, and Yerica trembled like an aspen tree.

It was a powerful Fear that was on a completely different level than the first one.

Of course, in the middle of it all, Ethan was relaxed.

Oho? You can still move? You seem strangely confident, so I assume youve been hiding a trick up your sleeve. If so, show it to this body.

The Beast King bared his teeth, and then he was on all fours, closing in on Ethan in a flash.

Ethan couldnt even keep track of how fast he was moving.

But Ethan remained calm.

He thought of his opponent as a monster and stared at his weaknesses.

The Beast King had two weaknesses.

His waistline and the tips of his toes.

Ethan aimed for the tips of his toes, where he could strike the fastest.

His shoes had long since been torn off by the giant claws, and the exposed toes were huge.

Scwack!

The Beast King immediately tried to bite Ethans throat.

Ethan ducked as low as he could. Then he stabbed the tip of the Beast Kings toe.

Keukkkk!

The Beast King let out a scream of pain.

Why does the pain.

By nature, his hard flesh should have been impenetrable to any attack; that was beastification.

As he writhed in agony, Ethans attacks continued unabated.

Slash!

The Beast King twisted and dodged, but he couldnt avoid all the attacks.

Its not just about attacking the enemys weak spots.

Ethan could now clearly understand this Monsters Calamity skill.

It wasnt about understanding the opponent and finding their weaknesses.

It was about exploiting the opponents weaknesses to inflict extreme damage!

Wh-why!

The Beast King panicked and wrapped his arms around his waist, where blood was gushing out.

More red spots began to appear on the Beast Kings body. This time on his thigh.

Ethan kicked the ground hard.

If he took too much time, he would lose.

Therefore, he had to defeat the Beast King in a short time.

A level 82 powerful foe. If I dont defeat him in one fell swoop, Ill never win! Right now, hes just surprised by my unexpected attack!

Ethan took a deep breath.

His entire bodys strength focused on a single point.

He opened his eyes wide, observing everything about the Beast King.

I see it. A tiny dot.

The smallest of the red dots.

It was probably the most difficult, but it seemed to be the weakest, capable of dealing the most devastating blows.

Its too small and too deep.

That little red dot was his collarbone.

The center part of his collarbone, to be precise. A tiny little spot. It was barely visible unless he looked really hard.

But I have to do it.

So that he could live.

Ethan thought back to when hed faced the Goblin Rider King.

Forget about level 82.

What he saw in front of him was not a level 82 human.

He was a high-level monster, and Ethan was a hero. He had the power to hunt all monsters.

Huuuu.

Ethan took another long breath.

-Your whole body is energized!

You little bastard. Im not playing anymore!

With his pride wounded, the Beast King charged forward without looking back.

It was faster than before, and more animalistic at the same time.

And it was a good thing for Ethan.

When he was standing, the height difference meant he had to jump to attack, but now that he had lowered himself, he could aim for that exact spot.

Just once.

A precise stab.

Just as the Beast Kings jaws were about to tear Ethans throat out.

Ethans sword penetrated that spot with precision.

Stab-

Keuk.

With a groan, the Beast King fell forward.

* * *

Yerica marveled at the sight before her.

I never thought hed be this strong.

When the Beast King had been emitting his aura, she had thought that she might have been able to use a trick.

But the moment he transformed into a beast.

All her options were gone.

It occurred to her that there was a difference in power.

A great power consumed everyone in the place, and she didnt think anyone could move without his permission.

But that sickly-looking man moved.

It was like that at first too.

He was moving nonchalantly, even as the Beast King who had turned into a beast was emitting Fear.

He even smiled.

As if this situation was too easy for him.

As if the Fear was having no effect on him.

She could sense that the Beast King was deeply offended by this fact.

He drew his sword and raised it against him.

Yerica watched in pity.

Dropping a drop of water on the giant stone would have no effect. Hed die anyway.

But at the same time, a strange sense of anticipation filled the corner of her mind.

Something. I think somethings going to happen.

No one on the verge of death should be smiling like that.

Then the Beast King moved, his teeth lifting to bite at the nape of his neck.

She couldnt even close her eyes at the sight.

Bam!

She thought his head was going to fall off.

Keukkk!

Things were getting weird.

Whats going on?

She couldnt quite make sense of it.

All she could tell now was that the frail man was gaining the upper hand on the insanely strong Beast King.

Slash!

Stab!

The Beast King was rapidly losing ground to Ethan.

It was ridiculous. If she were in his right mind, she would have rubbed her eyes and watched it again.

Not long after, something even more shocking happened.

Thud!

The Beast King fell headfirst into the ground.

-You have hunted the Beast King!

-Overwhelming achievements!

-Your reputation is increasing!

-You have accomplished an impossible feat! Receive additional rewards for winning an unwinnable fight!

-You have achieved an achievement!

-You have earned likes for the achieved achievement [Perfect Hunt]!

-You have earned 3 likes!

The rewards for hunting the Beast King have begun to pour in.
