Hongir was the illegitimate child of the Turbak tribe leader.
A product birthed by simply mixing with a human out of amusent.
For this reason, other tribesn despised him for having the blood of livestock flowing through him.
And among them, the harshest persecution ca from his half-brothers, Yifret and Devian.
Pak!
How dare you cheeky livestock call hyung? Do you want to boil you and eat you like the other livestock?
S-sorryYifret-nim.
They would attack him in anger whenever he blurted out the word hyung.
Hongir could neither call his father abeoji nor his brothers hyung.
He thought his life was no different from other humans waiting for the day to be slaughtered.
But even in those hellish days, there was a ray of hope
Proud wolves do not harm their cubs. If you dont want to raise him, then I will.
It was the younger brother of the tribe leader. The great warrior who protected the Turbak tribe, Yamachi.
He took Hongir with him, and began to pass on the Turbaks innate body art.
Youre still young. So until you beco a real wolf who can hunt food with your own hands, Ill take care of you myself.
Th-thank you!
Fortunately, Hongir had a talent for body art, and he tried his best to accept Yamachis teachings.
As ti went by, finally, he had beco a strong man worthy of others recognition.
Im sure you know this well by nowWhirlwind Club Art relies solely on your senses and talent. Therefore, each individual has a clear limit of growth.
Im well aware of that.
Your limit is up to here. But dont be too heartbroken. Even my master, the previous war chief, couldnt learn the techniques in the second half.
Ill devote myself to go further.
Although Hongir couldnt learn the second half of Whirlwind Club Art because of his half-body size, he was satisfied.
He thought even with his current power, revenge would be possible.
Yamachi then asked him.
Are you going to take revenge now?
Thats right.
HuuI wont tell you to love the tribe. The cycle of revenge isnt easy to break.
However, if you still have in your eyes, I hope you can think of the tribe once more. To stop the invaders now, we need the help of strong warriors like you.
Yamachi said and bowed his head deeply.
The savior who had saved his life was now lowering himself and asking him to save the tribe that he hated. Such a mighty warrior was throwing away his pride.
And
When Hongir saw that, he was no longer confident in staying.
So that night, he headed to Earth as if he was running away without his masters knowledge.
He tenaciously survived by adapting to the new world with his skills.
Frankly, even now, after a long ti, he still didnt have good mories of his tribe.
But whenever he recalled Yamachis request, he would feel a heavy debt in the back of his heart.
Even though the Turbak tribe was a shitty placeNevertheless, I have to pay off my debt to master.
Hongir observed the child who had exterminated his tribesn.
The boy could be seen turning into a wolf in his fight against the necromancer.
Boom! Bang!
A deep pit was dug out each ti the mass made of corpses struck the ground.
Even a trained body would find it difficult to survive such an attack if hit directly.
Nevertheless, the boy wasnt intimidated at all as he avoided the attacks like flowing water and bit the huge enemy.
Looking at it, Hongir was reminded of the wolves in his hotown who didnt know the aning of fear.
If nothing else, his courage is comndable.
Although the boy was still at an age where he didnt have much combat experience, his actions were bold as if he was a veteran warrior.
But its going to be hard like this.
As ti passed, the power gap continued to widen.
The necromancers size was growing larger, while the boys attacks were becoming less and less effective.
Hongir thought maybe his revenge would end blandly like this.
But at that mont, the boy suddenly killed his companion and began planting bombs on him.
And soon after, the revived zombie was absorbed into the mass of corpses, causing a huge explosion.
Watching the series of events, Hongir was speechless.
Doing whatever it takes to win.
The boys actions just now werent that of a warrior but a hunter chasing the results.
The heart of a warrior and the mind of a hunter
Hongir was originally worried about killing a child for sothing that wasnt even a request
However, looking at the boy now, such worries were cleanly erased from his mind.
The boy was already no longer a child. He was a wolf like himself.
I can kill him with peace of mind.
CrackCrack!
With the sound of bone twisting, a wolf arm sleeping in Hongirs body was revealed.
He raised his arm that had beco strangely bloated compared to its size.
The boy had returned to its human form after the battle and there was no sign of him being wary of his surroundings.
The ending is still bland.
Normally, the most dangerous mont for hunters is when the hunt is nearing its end.
His arm swelled up as if it was going to burst. The mont the muscles expanded to its limit, his arm was thrown in one motion like a slingshot.
*First half 3rd style, Piercing Wind.
A long claw tore apart the air and across the horizon. The blade of wind cut through the boys body in an instant.
Swish!
Its over.
Hongir smiled lightly, certain of his success. But
How co hes fine?
The boy stood as he was.
As Hongir wondered how it was possible, he imdiately fired a second attack. However, the boy rolled on the ground as if he had expected it.
Swish!
The attack brushed past the boys collar. It was another failure.
He saw the boy standing up and pulling out a sword as he heightened his senses. With the way things were going, it seed that surprise attacks were no longer useful.
Theres no other choice.
Hongir slowly appeared.
We et again, boy.
As if sothing precious had been stolen, the boy stared at him fiercely.
He took a step closer to the boy.
Its been a while since Ive dealt with soone face to face.
Every muscle in his body contracted with tension ahead of the battle. The blood of a warrior, which had long been forgotten, began to boil.
He could see the boy gripping his sword with wariness. And like how he was asuring the boys range of attack, he was certain the boy was doing the sa.
This much should be perfect.
After reaching a reasonable distance from the boy, he stopped in front of him.
He could see children with shocked expressions around him. Everyone was looking his way with worried looks.
At a glance, he could feel that the children were worried for the boy.
Is that so
Looking at it, he understood why the boy had suddenly attacked the Turbak Brotherhood.
The reason why he took action must have been to protect these children.
He recalled the terrible food culture of his hotown.
The tribesn must have gone against the boys will in the process of seeking food ingredients.
Sohow, in the boys appearance, the image of his master who had worked hard for the weak seed to overlap. He even thought it would be a waste to kill the boy for no reason.
However, he would never miss a target he had set his eyes on.
There will be no way for the boy to return alive today. This was also an opportunity for him to clear his old debt.
Ill have to treat him as a warrior.
Straightening the hem of his coat, he told the boy.
My na is Hongir. I ca to kill you.
But the boy just stared at him without answering.
He could feel a sharp killing intent of being split in two if he got even a little closer.
Killing a young warrior like you is sothing I dont want either. However, you have a debt that must be repaid.
Whats that?
Do you rember the beast nad Yifret, who you killed a few months ago? Hes my half-brother.
Looking back on your actions at the ti, Ill have to kill all the children here too.
Hongir said as he observed the boys expression. There was no change. How was he not shaken when the people precious to him were threatened?
Does that an he wont reveal his weaknesses to his enemies? Such amazing calmness
He held back his admiration that was about to leak out unknowingly. He continued.
But! The cycle of revenge isnt easy to break. So Ill give you a chance first. If you obediently let go of your neck, I promise you I wont touch these kids.
How can I believe that?
ThatsIll make a promise under my honor and my masters na. I simply want to fulfill my promise.
Hongir spoke sincerely to the young warrior. He wanted to give that much courtesy to him as a warrior.
Did his sincerity reach the boy?
***

The boy, who had been still for a while, gently pushed the sword he had been holding into its sheath.
Okay.
With slow steps, the boy began to walk one step at a ti.
As expected
The more he saw the boy, the more he liked him. To the point where he thought it would be a waste to kill him.
For the lives of his cowardly and petty tribesn, this child alone was more than worthy.
N-no! Oppa! You cant! Id rather die!
N-Noah-nim! Y-you dont have to care about us! Please!
The children around Hongir and the boy rushed over. Seeing that, the boy coldly stared at the children.
Hey. Its annoying, so fuck off.
A determined voice as if intentionally trying to lose the childrens affection. Did the boys heartfelt feeling contained in his words reach the kids?
HeukY-you cant. Noah-oppa.
Noah-nim
The children backed down awkwardly while shedding tears. Soon, the boy finally sat proudly in front of Hongir.
And even at this mont before his death, the boy was smiling brightly as if he had finished everything he had to do.
What a wasteWhat a waste
He also wanted to sit down and have a conversation with this wonderful boy that transcended age and race, but that could no longer be achieved.
Ill try my best to give you a comfortable death.
CrackCrack!
Hongirs arm began to expand again. Bending his arm back to its limit, he asked the boy.
Is there any final word you want to say?
The boy whispered back in a small voice.
Fire
Fire?
It was the na of a God people on Earth believed in. At the last mont, even this bold soul looked to God?
Suddenly, sothing began to roll down the ground. Black and round tal spheres.
Hongir simply watched because he couldnt figure out the situation.
Th-thats
At that mont, the boy raised both arms and shouted loudly.
Fire in the hole!
?!
Booom!
And soon, a series of explosions hit the bodies of the two.
* * * * * * * * * *
I used explosives and transford my body into gas to imdiately widen the distance.
Fortunately, I was able to avoid becoming naked thanks to the wolf sets option of transforming to fit.
I quickly observed where the kill stealer was.
It was hard to confirm his death because of the thick dust, but I was certain he was still alive.
Did he say his na was Hongir?
I had felt it from the ti I t him in the evening, but his level was definitely unusual.
Although it looked like he hadnt crossed the A-Rank barrier, from my years of experience, I could sense that he was a veteran warrior at the Master level.
I imdiately took out an RPG-7 from my inventory and fired it at where the smoke was rising.
Boom!
For a split second I could see his silhouette when the warhead exploded. Sure enough, he was still alive.
Next, I pulled out a rifle and a direct line of fire was created. In addition, the children who were far away began to give fire support even though I hadnt asked them to.
Dududududu!
Roaring noises resonated everywhere and the sll of gunpowder blanketed the surroundings.
By the ti I replaced the cartridge three tis, Hongir could be seen walking out of thick smoke.
I thought a surprise attack would workbut it seed general firearms wont work.
Hongir calmly shook off the dust.
There were only small scratches here and there, with no significant wound to be found.
YeahThats right. I had forgotten for a mont that you are a warrior and a hunter. I guess I fell into sentint without realizing it.
Shriik!
Hongir grabbed the hem of his ragged coat and roughly ripped it off.
His bursting muscles and nurous engraved scars were revealed in the sun.
He was a freak.
Even if mana could protect the body, I never imagined it would be that tough.
So of the guys I had dealt with in the second round were also dangerous, but frankly, my intuition had told each ti that it was worth a try.
But right now
All I could think of was that it was dangerous.
I didnt expect I would be attacked after having used up Wolf Hour.
If I exclude my items and only consider my abilities, then at the very best I was at the peak of D-Rank.
And if it was a Challenge, I would have been sure that I had a way, but no ssage ca to mind about him.
Then lets play properly since its been a while. Boy!
CrackCrack!
His arm swelled up violently again.
I wasnt able to see the mont the attack flew in earlier, but I thought I could roughly guess what kind of skill it was.
It was impossible to see and avoid.
My only option was to predict the trajectory of the attack based on the direction of his arm.
Finally, his arm, which had tilted to its limits, fell in the short mont before I even realized it.
I rolled on the ground to avoid the invisible attack.
But
Swish
Keuk!
A long cut appeared on my side as the flesh opened.
Fortunately, my organs werent damaged. However, blood was flowing endlessly through the open skin that looked like gills.
KeukeuThats a common mistake. People think they can predict the direction of my attack if they look at my arm.
He gave a mocking laugh and lifted back his arm again.
CrackCrack
The sound of joints and muscles twisting could be heard from all the way over here.
This wasdangerous.
I thought I had understood his attack thod, but there seed to be another variable. As long as that was the case, I didnt have a proper way to deal with it.
If this continued, I would be eaten little by little and would eventually fall at so point. The alarms were going off in my head.
The mont I had such thoughts, a ssage ca to mind.
[ level of understanding has increased. ]
And just in ti, he swung his arm again.
Then, sothing vague which I hadnt seen earlier caught my eyes.
I imdiately flung my body.
Swish
Again, a wound appeared on my shoulder. But this ti, it was shallower than before.
Hooo, you have a good sense.
[ level of understanding has increased. ]
Again, the effect of Heavenly Body was activated. Now I was starting to roughly understand what kind of martial art he was using.
ThenLets end it here.
His arm began to swell up again. But this ti, two consecutive attacks flew in.
I could clearly see it now. A long crescent-shaped blade extending from his claws.
And I could sense where the blades were headed. I rolled on the ground to avoid the attacks.
The blades that passed by grew in size and split the hill made of garbage.
Piles of garbage that had been piled up neatly lost its balance and began to collapse.
Boom!
Whats this? It cant beCan you see my attacks?
Through the noise of trash falling, I could hear his confused voice. I ignored him and ran in a straight line.
Hoho, really. I guess you thought my close combat would be weak.
Extending his steel claws, he shrank for a mont before stretching out his arms and flying towards .
[ level of understanding has increased. ]
It was the first half 2nd style, Cyclone.
His body, which was flying in a straight line, suddenly rotated, creating a vortex.
However, I, who had already grasped his attack, turned into gas and surrendered my body to the flow of the wind.
Keuk!
I felt a tearing pain all over my body from his attack that was infused with mana.
If it wasnt for being in a gas state, my body might have already turned into sothing like liquid inside a blender.
I endured the pain and seeped into his airway.
*Drain Life
My wounds began to quickly heal.
Keuk!
Hongir grabbed his neck and groaned painfully. Then, a ssage I hadnt seen in a very long ti appeared in my mind.
[ Discovered genetic information that can be absorbed. Do you want to absorb the gene? ]
Honestly, this wasnt in the plan, but now whatever it was, it was enough if I could hurt him.
Absorb.
[ Beast genetic value has increased. ]
[ Beast genetic value has increased. ]
[ Beast genetic value has increased. ]
.
.
.
The Beast genes, which were dormant inside , quickly flowed along my body.
If I could persist like this
The mont I thought as such, he suddenly began to breathe heavily.
Shuuup! Huu~!
Like a wolf from a fairy tale, he exhaled strongly with his mouth.
[ level of understanding has increased. ]
I flew away like a kite with its string cut. Garbage scattered everywhere and the surrounding area turned into a ss. I lifted myself up off the ground.
HuuI thought I was going to suffocate to death.
Hongir walked toward with a slightly flustered look.
I didnt know youve been hiding that kind of trickThat was your only chance. But now that Ive figured out all of your tricks, lets really end it now.
His long claws were pulled out again.
At that mont,
Ding!
[ level of understanding has increased. ]
[ Youve reached a certain level of understanding. ]
[ While the battle continues, you can imitate the skill based on your understanding. ]
Yes!
Finally, the mont I had been waiting for had co.
Hongir twisted his body and charged toward like before. The violent gust of wind threatened to grind my body into pieces.
anwhile, I quickly transford into a dire wolf. Then, I faced him who was quickly approaching.
And
*Second Half 1st style, Lightning Storm.
My front foot, which stretched out like lightning, struck his body.
Boom!
Kuaaak!!
With a thunderous roar, he quickly flew away like a cannonball.
The pile of garbage that collided with him imdiately collapsed as if it had been bombarded.
Boom!
Soon, among the collapsed piles of garbage, his face popped out. In that state, he struggled to climb up through the garbage.
Blood was dripping from his broken claws, and on his head, a cup of noodles that had been thrown away by soone was falling down his head.
He muttered with a vacant look.
YouHow can youIve devoted my whole life
I smiled brightly at him.
Ah, thats not how you use Whirlwind Club Art.
As expected, gas are the most enjoyable when you deceive.
