Leveling Up Alone

Chapter 259: A Complicated Truth (4)

Chapter 259: A Complicated Truth (4)

The hyenas were a race so evil and despicable that they were among the few beast races that did not enjoy such rights.

“Tia, Mavros.”

Kyu?”

“Yes, master?”

“I think we have to go kill that stinky bastard.”

Kyu!”

“Hoho~ I’m up for that~”

Tia and Mavros had no qualms about it, as they loved fighting as much as Han-Yeol did.

Han-Yeol called Mujahid over after both Tia and Mavros had agreed.

[Mujahid!]

[Yes, hyung-nim!]

[Stay here and kill all those terrorists while waiting for Tayarana.]

[Huh?]

Mujahid was surprised by Han-Yeol's sudden decision. They had already rescued all the hostages, and all they had to do was meet up with Tayarana. In other words, they no longer had any reason to continue fighting with the terrorists for now.

[The boss monster on top of the city hall building is bothering me. I feel that we will suffer for a long time if we don't deal with it now, so I'm going to kill it.]

[Alright... I will back you up as soon as I meet Tayarana noonim.]

[Thanks, I’ll leave this place to you then.]

[Yes, hyung-nim!]

Tak!

Mujahid kicked off the ground and leaped into the air.

He had been in the backseat, merely issuing commands to his raid party members and observing the situation, but things were about to change. He needed to wrap things up as quickly as possible so that the terrorists would be neutralized by the time Tayarana arrived, allowing them to promptly assist Han-Yeol.

He realized he could no longer afford the luxury of leisurely watching from the sidelines, so he resolved to join the battle himself.

“Let’s go, Mavros, Tia,” Han-Yeol said.

Kyu!”

“Hoho~ Okay, master~”

***

[Hmm…]

The boss monster carved a throne from a large boulder and placed it atop the city hall building. It watched a human and his monster pets approaching through its crystal ball.

The human was undeniably normal, slightly stronger than most, yet there was something peculiar about him.

[There's something familiar about him... Why does this human feel so familiar...?] the boss monster pondered, trying to comprehend the strange sensation it was experiencing.

Seuk… Chwak!

“Gwu Oooh Oooh!”

The human effortlessly dispatched the corrupted soldiers it had created and was rapidly nearing the rooftop. This didn't surprise the boss monster, given that the quality of the corrupted soldiers was considerably lower compared to the monsters the human woman called Tayarana was battling.

The boss monster didn't rely on its corrupted soldiers to fend off formidable adversaries. Instead, their primary role was to sift out the weaker opponents, as the boss monster had no patience for dealing with small fry.

[Hoho~ I guess I have to get ready to greet the guests.]

Whoosh!

The boss monster waved its hand, and Corrupted Sammy instantly turned toward the door.

Ratatatata!

[It’s the zombies!]

[Kill them!]

Terrorists were still concealed within the city hall. They had managed to evade detection by the zombies by concealing their presence, but their cover began to unravel one by one after Han-Yeol entered the city hall and provoked the zombies.

[H-Help me!]

[Get away, you monsters!]

The terrorists were Hunters armed with weapons and skills, but they were no match for the so-called zombies.

[Please forgive me!]

Bang!

A few of the terrorists, feeling utterly helpless in their situation, resorted to shooting themselves in the head. The city hall was now filled with the nauseating stench of blood.

Ugh… Disgusting!”

Chwak!

“Gwuoo… Ooook!”

The corrupted soldiers were cut down by Tia before they could even approach Han-Yeol.

Tak! Tak! Tak!

“We’re almost there!” Han-Yeol shouted as he could see a door leading to the rooftop.

Bam!

Han-Yeol harnessed his momentum to forcefully kick open the door.

Ugh… What’s that smell?” Han-Yeol grimaced and grumbled.

A foul stench, penetrating right up into Han-Yeol's nose, permeated the rooftop.

Gwuoo… Oooh…!”

Then, on the rooftop, Han-Yeol encountered a corrupted soldier who possessed far greater mana than any he had faced until that moment.

“Master.”

“Yeah, I felt it too.”

“I don’t think this guy is going to be easy.”

“Yeah, you’re right.”

Thud… Thud…

This corrupted soldier was indeed stronger than the others, which was expected, considering it used to be a Master Rank Hunter.

[I sincerely welcome you to hell, foolish humans,] the boss monster greeted Han-Yeol and the others in the Bastro tongue.

The boss monster couldn't speak the human language and had been communicating with Sammy through telepathy a while ago.

The hyenas weren't particularly strong in combat, but they possessed various tricks, one of which was telepathy.

‘As expected,’ Han-Yeol thought as he finally caught a glimpse of the face behind this incident—it was the hyenas, just as he had suspected.

"What the hell are you blabbering about?"

Chwak!

The first to respond was Tia, who shot out a poison web at the boss monster, which was emitting unintelligible sounds.

Anything ensnared by Tia's poison web would slowly succumb to poisoning and die in agony, but unfortunately, the poison web failed to land anywhere near the boss monster.

Tik… Boom!

Gwuo… Ooooh!”

“Hmm? That’s annoying.”

“Hahaha…”

The Master Rank Corrupted Soldier threw a bomb that incinerated the poison web. Tia grimaced and grumbled, her attack being effortlessly neutralized for the first time in her short life.

[Haha! How can you lesser creatures be so foolish? You humans are all too predictable!]

[Crazy bastard.]

[What?!]

The boss monster didn't expect anyone to understand what it was saying. After all, nothing was known about the Bastro Dimension on Earth as of the current time, and the same was true the other way around. The only thing the Bastrolings knew about Earth was that it was going to join the second dimension in a few years, and that was it.

The boss monster had never expected a human to be able to speak the Bastro language.

[I really despised you hyenas since the first time I saw you, and I should've exterminated all of you vermin back then. Well, it might be late, but don't worry. I'm going to kill you today, just as you wanted. Oh, but it's going to hurt a bit, since I'm going to rip you to shreds.]

[T-That arrogant tone...!]

The boss monster's eyes shot wide open as its face was covered in sweat. It couldn't believe what it was hearing.

[D-Don't tell me?! N-No way... H-How?! Just how?!] the boss monster stammered, stunned by what it was witnessing. [T-This is not possible!]

Tak!

As Han-Yeol jumped toward the boss monster, the Master Rank Corrupted Soldier leaped to try and block him.

Gwuo… Ooooh!”

.

The boss monster stopped panicking and arrogantly smirked as it said, [Kekeke! Sure, I was a bit surprised after hearing you speak our tongue, but you're going to become another one of my puppets soon enough…!]

Then, the boss monster grimaced and grumbled to itself, [What nonsense was I thinking just now? There's no way that could be possible… This dimension called Earth has ridiculously low mana density to begin with. I mean, how is it possible for a dimension to have so little mana?]

‘Hmm… I guess my psychological warfare failed,’ Han-Yeol thought.

He wasn't disappointed at all, as he didn't have high expectations to begin with. It might have worked against other Bastrolings, but it was unlikely to work against a race that relied on their brains for survival rather than their muscles. While hyenas were known for their pack intellect, their individual intelligence was also quite high.

Han-Yeol knew his psychological warfare was a long shot, but he attempted it anyway, just in case it worked. Of course, it turned out to be an utter failure, but he didn't mind.

Gwuo… Ooohh…”

[Hmm… I heard that you are a Master Rank Hunter too.]

[That’s right.]

[Alright, why don't you have some fun with that guy over there? Let's see how you fare against that Master... Damn it... Why is it so hard to pronounce? Anyway, this will be an excellent test to gauge the strength of the Master Rank Hunter I've corrupted.]

Gwuo… Ooooh…”

The Master Rank Corrupted Soldier aimed its hand at Han-Yeol.

‘Tsk… Why does it feel like that bastard is looking down on me? Let's hold it in for now.’ Han-Yeol was certainly annoyed that the hyena was underestimating him, but he understood that an arrogant enemy was much easier to defeat than a cautious one.

He wasn't accustomed to being belittled these days as a Master Rank Hunter, but this wasn't the moment to let his ego take over.

‘Dealing with one is already challenging, but handling both simultaneously will certainly be impossible. I should leverage its arrogance to my advantage.’

Seuk…

Han-Yeol bent his knees and prepared to jump, but the boss monster suddenly flashed an ugly smirk and added.

[Oh, but those two monsters of yours shouldn’t move an inch from now on. What I want to see is how you fare against my corrupted soldier without their help.]

[No problem,] Han-Yeol nonchalantly replied before turning toward his monster pets.

“Mavros, Tia.”

Kyu?” Mavros tilted his head in confusion.

“Yes, master? Do you want that insolent fool’s head right now?” Tia replied as she clenched her fist and hardened it.

Her fist was so powerful that it could easily rip through reinforced steel, leading Han-Yeol to suspect she possessed some hidden skill related to her hands.

She appeared poised to launch an instant attack on the boss monster and sever its head from its body the moment Han-Yeol gave the command.

“No.”

Kyu?”

“Hmm?”

"We need to buy some time for now. That ugly monster wants me to fight one-on-one against his toy. That zombie bastard is a Master Rank Hunter corrupted by that ugly monster, but the problem is, that ugly monster is way stronger than that corrupted Master Rank Hunter. We don't stand a chance against both of them, so..." Han-Yeol explained.

Tia interrupted and finished his words for him, "...we have to buy time."

"Bingo."

Most people might get upset if their subordinates interrupted them, but Han-Yeol remained quite relaxed about it.

"Hmm... I guess we have no choice," Tia said with a shrug before she picked up Mavros and retreated a few steps.

Boink!

Mavros was squeezed between her breasts, but he seemed oblivious to his current happy situation and continued to look at Han-Yeol. Then, he raised his arm and started cheering for him, "Kyu! Kyu kyu! Kyuuu!"

Gulp!

Han-Yeol nervously gulped when he noticed Tia's breasts bouncing as Mavros squirmed while cheering for him. He found her breasts to be quite enticing.

Tia's attire left very little to the imagination since she wasn't affected by hot or cold temperatures.

Han-Yeol had never seen such beautiful breasts, even when compared to the numerous sexy videos of celebrities and models he had watched. He felt guilty for thinking this way, but her breasts were even more captivating than Tayarana's.

Seuk…

"Hoho~ Your enemy is over there, master~" Tia said, pointing at the Master Rank Corrupted Soldier after noticing that Han-Yeol was distracted by her breasts.

Ahem… You’re right.”

Thud…

Han-Yeol immediately turned around and faced the corrupted soldier, feeling extremely embarrassed for getting caught staring.

"Gwuo… Oooh…"

Sammy no longer had any consciousness; he had been reduced to nothing more than a creature filled with anger and hatred toward the living.
