Chapter 144: Legendary Tier Monster (1)
CRACK! FWOOSH! Hal blocked. Redirected. Slid. His coat shredded under sheer force, skin burning as impact after impact landed. Strong, Hal admitted, teeth gritting. Stronger than I expected. Then he stepped in. He caught Dragunov’s wrist mid-swing and drove his knee upward— THUD!! The impact echoed like a cannon firing. Dragunov’s eyes widened as he was launched backward, smashing through two suppression pylons before skidding across the floor in a cloud of debris. The shadow-beast dissipated violently. For a heartbeat— Silence. Then Dragunov laughed hoarsely as he pushed himself up, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. “Good,” he snarled. “Now it makes sense.” Cobblestone moved. Invisible vectors clamped down on Hal from every direction as Cobblestone activated full authority control. Gravity spiked. Space folded. Movement itself rebelled against Hal’s intent. Hal felt it immediately. He’s not attacking me, Hal realized. He’s commanding the battlefield. C
Chapter 143: The Generals (3)
The decision was made without ceremony.There were no raised voices, no dramatic declarations. Just a quiet shift in the room, subtle but unmistakable, like a current changing direction beneath still water.Phil Cobblestone was the one who spoke.“Numbers tell us what you are,” he said calmly. “But not how you move.”Hal understood immediately.He inclined his head once. “You want to see it for yourselves.”“Yes,” Liu Chen replied. “Under controlled conditions.”Hal didn’t hesitate. “Fine.”There was no bravado in his tone. No challenge. Just acceptance.Because if the world only had a year left, then wasting time pretending was pointless.The MHO training facility lay far beneath the headquarters, sealed behind layers of clearance and spatial reinforcement. It wasn’t advertised. It wasn’t listed on any public schematic. This was a place designed not for Hunters—but for failures that could not be allowed.The chamber they entered was vast, circular, its walls formed from overlapping a

The door closed behind Hal with a muted thud. The room beyond it was wide and dimly lit, designed less like a conference hall and more like a chamber meant to endure the test of time. Dark panels lined the walls, etched with faint geometric patterns that pulsed softly with restrained energy. A long table stretched across the center, its surface matte and unmarred, as if no one dared leave a mark upon it. Five figures sat on the far side. Hal stopped a few steps in. No tension crawled up his spine. No instinct screamed danger. He simply… looked. Five generals. Each representing a country. Five pillars upon which the modern Hunter world rested. He had seen their faces before, on broadcasts, in historical footage, in reports dissected endlessly on HunterNet. But seeing them like this, gathered in one place, all eyes turned toward him, was something else entirely. Phil Cobblestone sat in the center. He represented the United States. Broad-shouldered even in his later years,
Chapter 141: The Generals (1)
The moment Hal stepped out of the dim hallway where he had been kept waiting, Marlon stopped scrolling through his datapad and spoke with an oddly formal tone.“Mr. Rodgraim… It’s time. The generals are requesting your presence.”That alone made the remaining officers in the vicinity straighten stiffly.Hal exhaled. It wasn’t fatigue, it was the weight of the next few minutes.He nodded once. “Let’s go.”Marlon led the way, but the moment they reached the main exit of the Organization Bureau… everyone froze.The doors slid open, and a wall of noise slammed into them.Voices. Cameras. Reporters. Hunters. Civilians.A crowd so dense it looked like the entire city had poured into the street outside the Bureau.Hal blinked, startled.“What the…?”Marlon’s jaw dropped. Several officers instinctively reached for their earpieces, swearing under their breath.“How, we’ve been suppressing the news! How did so many people..?!”But even he knew the answer.Nothing in modern Kansas City spread fa
Chapter 140: S– Special Hunter (2)
The hallway outside the Kansas Bureau’s Detection Sector was already tense, buzzing with whispers and stiff backs, then the double doors burst open with the force of a storm front, and Steven Holmes walked in. Tall, sharp-featured, carrying the air of someone who had never been told the word no and genuinely believed he never would be. His coat swung behind him, boots tapping with the arrogance of a man who had commanded divisions and walked through infernal Gates without flinching. His eyes swept across the stunned Hunters like a heat ray. “Where is Elliot Vorden?” Elliot sighed from the far end of the hallway, pinching the bridge of his nose before turning. “I knew your sorry ass wouldn't stay put .” He stepped forward. “Steven. What a… dramatic entrance.” Steven smirked. “Excuse me for rushing. I heard rumors that a certain young man under your jurisdiction produced a reading that the Bureau doesn’t know how to classify.” “Rumors travel fast,” Elliot replied dryly. “Rum
Chapter 139: S– Special Hunter (1)
Steven Holmes, Guild Master of Hollow Syndicate, sat with his legs crossed, staring calmly at the rows of screens hovering across his office. The man looked perfectly composed silver tie, dark suit, hair slicked back with military precision, but his eyes were sharp and predatory, always searching, always calculating.The second strongest Guild in Kansas didn’t earn its reputation through raw power like Vanguard did.It earned it through intelligence, speed, and taking opportunities before anyone else.His personal secretary, Liam Ford, burst through the door.“Boss, we’ve got something,” Liam said, a bit out of breath.Steven didn’t turn immediately. A corner of his lip curved upward.“Your footsteps say it’s important,” he drawled. “Speak.”Liam gulped once.“Hal Rodgraim has been spotted at the Organization Bureau.”Steven’s hand stopped mid-air.Slowly, he turned, gaze sharpening.“…The E-rank?”“Not just that,” Liam continued. “Elliot Vorden is already on his way there. He left t
