System Killer

Warm-up Hunt

"I didn't like this." Jianyu expressed his displeasure. "They are gathering the strongest parties in this mainland due to BOSS EVENT at a time when the monsters are so weak." He reflected this discomfort as a physical act by scratching his short, neatly combed black hair. Having a fit body at 170 centimeters tall, Jianyu had blue eyes, which is not very common among his compatriots.

"Why are you bothered? We are lower than the hundredth place in the rankings of the strongest parties. We couldn't fight against such an attack, I think it's good."

"Again, we will probably encounter a very weak group of monsters. They will leave a lot of neighbors unnecessarily vulnerable. Anyway. Did you call the others?"

"Yes, but according to what it says here, it will take more than three days for the monsters to get here, so we have a lot of time. Since we are the only party that knows this region best, I think we should plan what kind of strategy we will implement during the war."

"You're right, Murat."

"But before that, it looks like a lvl33 will be out there tomorrow in the neighboring city. How about a little warm-up first?"

"I've seen it, but it's not in our domain after all. It would be unethical to steal someone else's prey at a time when the monsters were so weakened."

"Come on. The parties over there are also on our level. What if it's really a full stat lvl33? If so, they're going to have a hard time, we'll help, what do you say?"

"Okay, but as I said, if an overrated monster comes out again, we will not interfere!"

"Aye aye, capt!"

*** Next day, the Rural Field of the neighboring city of Eskisehir ***

The four-hooved goat-wolf-like monster with large and spiral horns stood on its two hooves as if it were a human, trying to see its approaching enemies. It noticed the approaching threat from the voices it heard, was wiping the blood on its long nose frequently with its furry arm, waiting with tired eyes for the game its own destiny would play on it.

"So this is lvl33?" The party's tank and two detectors were the first to arrive, followed by the Physician and their two Casters.

"Did it come here alone? lvl33 is considered a level close to a boss, where are its minions?" The group was not content to encounter an inadequate enemy.

"Don't relax so quickly. A real lvl33 will stress us. Check it!" The leader of the party was cautious.

"Someone is approaching!" The careful one of the Casters had noticed even earlier than the detectors Jianyu's group coming and activated his superpower, pointing the translucent little cannon he had created on his shoulder in the direction they were coming from.

"WHAT!?" The others activated their powers and turned in that direction and waited.

Jianyu reached the battlefield with three party members.

"Hey, hey, isn't this Eskisehir's weak party that the party leader transferred from abroad?" The other Caster made fun of them.

"What a disrespectful act towards those who come to save your ass!" Murat responded to his cocky rivals on behalf of his leader and other team members. The flames of ambition burned in his eyes, which were the same color as his black hair.

"Our guest is probably an overrated monster like other monsters that have appeared recently. You have also entered our hunting grounds. You do realize that if we report you, you will be punished, right?" Cem, the leader of the Sightseers Party, which is the 127th party in the ranking of the strongest parties, made a speech to keep control.

"So we will not interfere. We are aware of our limits. We're here as a precaution, as you're up against a lvl30+ monster." Jianyu could actually speak Turkish very well, but he was using it only around superpower users to keep himself out of the limelight of society.

"Analyze it, Selen" Considering Jianyu's explanation reasonable, Cem instructed one of his Detectors.

"OV, F....!" Sightseers Party was completely on alert because the monster they were facing was not overrated, but rather a Boss capable of killing them one by one by hitting them once.

Origin Party, which was the 154th party in the power ranking led by Jianyu, had also been ready to help them after scattering around and taking an attack position.

"A real monster Boss, I can't believe it. Its HP is 13.210, we can't kill him before half an hour if we start attacking now. Give the order, master!" Sightseers Party also got ready to attack by activating their weapons and taking combat formations and demanded an order from their leader, Cem.

"..RRRRRRR.....RRRRR" The monster wasn't attacking them, still wiping the blood from its nose. "RRRRR....UUUNNNNN...."

"STOP!"

"WHAT?" Cem asked in a panic.

"This monster's current HP is 950, not 13.210, meaning it was attacked to lose almost all of its health, which seems to have already taken serious injuries."

"So, what? If it hits any of us once, that person will die. We must attack now!"

"But it is not attacking. On the contrary, it is trying to say something in my opinion!"

"Are you out of your mind!? It just growls, monsters can not speak!"

"I know but listen well..."

"....RU...N...A....WA...YY..."

"Oh my god, did that thing say <run>?" Kirana and the other people on the battlefield were in shock.

And out of nowhere, a terrifying type of winged monster appeared in the sky and dived towards the Hybrid Wolf, tearing it apart with its more than one meter-long claws, soaring back into the sky and disappearing into the horizon. It all happened in just five seconds because the winged monster came at the airspeed of a plane with a low-powered engine, killing its prey and vanishing right after… They didn't even get a chance to see the shape of the attacking monster.

"WHAT WAS THAT? DID YOU ANALYZE THAT THING, KIRANA?" Jianyu asked in a panic, keeping his defensive stand as if he were about to be attacked at any moment.

"I AM SORRY BUT I COULDN'T!" Kirana was trembling with fear. "AND NOT BECAUSE IT WAS FAST. SOMETHING BLOCKED MY SKILL AND IT WAS NOT THEM!"

With Kirana's explanation, they started to get even more scared...
