Chapter 146: Twelve Zodiac Legion (4)
‘Let’s see... Should I take a look at my stats?since it’s been?a long time?’?Han-Yeol called up his status window after some thought.

‘It always feels so good to check my status window,’?he thought and nodded in satisfaction.
His growth might not be as prominent as the one he had after hunting the Queen Labyrinth Spider as he hadn’t been hunting diligently. However, he was confident that only a handful of people in South Korea, no, in the entire world were capable of looking down at his stats now.
He was aware that he had an edge—the ability to cultivate numerous skills. He was quite confident that this fact alone set him apart from the others.
He could have focused on a single set of skills and reached the pinnacle with them, but he had no intentions of doing that. n0Vεlusb.c0m
‘Why should I waste my greatest advantage of being able to learn all sorts of skills?’?he shrugged his shoulders with that thought.
Han-Yeol could dare to dream about being the best in not only melee but also in ranged combat. But of course, he was still lacking compared to S Rank or Master Rank Hunters, and he knew very well that he was not a match against either Tayarana or Mujahid even if he summoned all of his demons.
In fact, he was not looking at his status window for the sole purpose of admiring his growth.
‘Hmm... I can dish out much stronger?heals?if I use Restore and Healing Bullet in tandem...’?he tried to come up with various combinations.
The Horus raid party was quite an experienced organization, so he hadn’t had the opportunity to use healing skills so far. Well, there was also the reason that they had been purposely hunting in lower-level hunting grounds to get used to the Korean monsters.
“Kyu! Kyu!”
Now that the monster rabbits were taken care of, the Egyptian Porters were about to do their job. However, Mavros suddenly showed interest in the monster corpses for the first time.
‘Hmm? What’s he doing?’?Han-Yeol wondered.
Mavros might look cute and weak, but there was one fact about him that Han-Yeol never forgot.
‘Mavros is a monster too,’?he thought.
It was a shame that his cute appearance was going to disappear one day, but every creature was bound to grow up eventually. That being said, Mavros might be cute and cuddly right now, but he was going to mature into a fully-fledged monster in the future.
‘Don’t tell me...that day is today...?’?Han-Yeol thought as he observed the baby black dragon with worry and anticipation.
[Vice Leader-nim seems to be doing something over there, so let’s go and work on that side first.]
[Roger that.]
The Horus raid party Porters were seasoned veterans as well, so they could tell at a glance where and what they should be doing, and that was the reason why the Egyptian Porters decided to give space to Han-Yeol and Mavros.
Han-Yeol continued to observe Mavros after the Porters left.
“Kyu!”
Mavros bit a monster rabbit corpse and started to violently flail it around.
After five minutes passed, Han-Yeol noticed that the baby black dragon only appeared to be playing with the dead rabbits.
‘Hmm...? Was I overreacting?’
Truth be told, Han-Yeol did not mind if the baby black dragon stayed the same forever and merely became his mascot. He could always depend on taming other monsters and increasing the number of demons he contracted with if he ever fell short of firepower.
Mavros was an extremely cute creature that made Han-Yeol feel at ease just with his appearance alone. In short, he was like an emotional support pet to him.
‘Well... I don’t mind if he stays this way,’?Han-Yeol thought before moving to pick up the baby black dragon so as to not get in the way of the Porters.
Kwachik!
Just as he walked toward the baby black dragon, he heard the sound of a bone being crushed. Surprised, he muttered to himself, “Huh?”
The baby black dragon ended up doing what Han-Yeol initially thought he was going to do a while ago. Even though he had only been interested in the fresh meat that Han-Yeol fed him up until this point, he surprised Han-Yeol by suddenly munching and devouring the dead monster rabbits.
Kwachik! Kwachik! Kwachik! Kwachik!?
Han-Yeol found the sight to be quite gruesome despite raising Mavros himself. He watched as the baby black dragon’s sharp fangs pierced through the mana-protected bones of the monster rabbits with ease.
Chomp! Chomp! Chomp! Chomp!?
Mavros merrily munched on the monster rabbits’ corpses.
‘This means that a monster is capable of devouring their fellow monsters once they have grown to a certain extent. There have been no reports of monsters eating each other unless those reports?have been?kept?from the public. This is definitely not something a normal monster would do,’?thought Han-Yeol, convinced that the baby black dragon was displaying strange behavior.
It was exactly as he suspected. Numerous scientists and experts had entered the hunting grounds alongside raid parties to investigate the monsters’ natural instincts, biological composition, etc., and all of the findings from these investigations had been published for others to see.
The monsters were creatures that had a positive effect on this world by pushing the humans to evolve, but the humans always kept in their minds that these same creatures could potentially cause their downfall and extinction.
What was going to happen if the barriers the aliens had erected suddenly disappeared one day? Simple, the monsters quietly waiting in the hunting grounds were going to come rushing out like a tidal wave.
Humanity was not completely defenseless against the monsters as the Hunters were present, but the monsters were definitely going to possess superior quantity to make up for their lack of quality.
Most of humanity was going to be extinct by the time the best of the Hunters subjugated the monsters. In fact, there had even been a simulation run on the doomsday scenario of the world in such an event by a think tank.
