Chapter 146: A Legendary Tier Monster (3)
The dome over Olathe trembled as a high, glassy shriek hit it, and the glowing hexagonal plates flickered, fractured, and stitched themselves back together in frantic pulses of light. Hunters looked up, and many of them swore, but they all already knew. “Barrier integrity at sixty-three percent!” a trembling voice shouted over open comms. “It’s dropping fast!” Then the ground moved. Not an earthquake. A coordinated surge. The streets below buckled as asphalt split apart, and from the depths came the sound every veteran Hunter feared, chittering. Thousands of overlapping clicks. Rhythmic. Purposeful. The first ant burst from the ground like a living battering ram. It was the size of a minivan, obsidian carapace warped and veined with sickly crimson lines. Its mandibles snapped once, tearing a parked armored vehicle in half. “CONTACT FRONT!” someone screamed, and the city erupted with Qi cannons firing. Blades flashed, and explosions turned streets into firestorms. But the an

No one spoke at first. The silence that followed the cut transmission wasn’t empty, it was crowded. Heavy with memories that had no right to still breathe after all these years. Phil Cobblestone was the first to break it, not with words, but with a slow exhale. His eyes weren’t on the shattered chamber or the flickering screens anymore. They were somewhere else. Somewhere far older. “…It was ten years ago,” he said quietly. Hal felt the shift immediately. The air changed, not with Qi, but with memory. “We didn’t call them Legendary back then,” Cobblestone continued. “We didn’t even believe such a rank could exist. Emperor-tier was the ceiling. That was what all our models said.” Alexander Dragunov let out a low, humorless chuckle. “Models,” he muttered. “We lost three cities before we realized models don’t mean shit when the world decides to break its own rules.” The memory unfolded, not as a projection, but as a shared scar. A dragon. Not a wyvern. Not a scaled beast pre

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

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
