Chapter 233 Monster Hunter Dante 2

"Get over here!" Dante roared as he tugged backward, dragging the monster toward himself.

The monster's eyes bulged as it was pulled back at such speed that by the time it had turned around, it was practically face to face with Dante. In that split second, it saw his cold and furious eyes, which gave it a deep chill.

It was about to open its mouth to spray its toxin as a defense mechanism, but Dante slapped its large face with his hand. The slap caused a shockwave explosion on the other side of the Winged Viper's face, and all its four fangs were knocked out by this.

The eye in its right socket also popped open like a zit and leaked out blood as well as various flesh material from its brain. The monster became limp in Dante's spatial hold, its tongue lolling out as the remaining life left its eye... its left eye, that is.

Dante watched it die coldly before placing a hand on its corpse to absorb its stats. In order not to waste his time, he had already used Quantum Replicated Mutation Cores to raise Absorption to the B Rank, which meant the conversion rate was as high as 160%!

Now that he also had the core of this B Rank monster, he could raise Absorption up to the A Rank after dealing with its corpse. Of course, he could take out the core now and replicate it before using this corpse, but he was not in a rush because one had to remember, he had a hard limit of 500 points to get each round.

If he surpassed that, he would have to release the excess energy. Previously, he had little control over his body, so the expulsion was dangerous and painful, but now he could release large parts of it in a controlled manner.

However, that did not mean he had to go overboard. After all, 160% of the Winged Serpent's stats could take him a long way to his goal, not to mention he was gonna hunt an A-Rank monster after this.

However, thinking about this, Dante paused and kept the corpse in his quantum space rather than absorb it. He almost forgot that he wanted to fight the next monster as he was in order to assess his physical methods because we all knew his magical methods were basically a one-shot.

He took the B Rank core and tossed it into his quantum space for the quantum clone that was free in the mock exam space after using various methods to gather the ten fruits again. That fellow could handle the replication while he continued to fight.

Following the trend of going after powerful monsters in their rank, Dante targeted the strongest known A Rank monster, the Thunder Roc. It was a Chinese mythology-type bird with huge wings, excessive flight speed, and the ability to control lightning.

Of course, the actual thing was just a very big mutated peregrine falcon, but it was publicly called a roc. Anyway, its name did not matter as its territory was rather huge, covering over a million kilometers.

My Brother in Christ, was this not planet Earth that had mutated? Earth was only 40,000 km long in terms of circumference, so where was the 1 million km coming from? That was about as long as from the Earth to the moon times 3!!

Dante calculated his current running speed. At 2000 points of Agility, if he went at his top speed, he could reach mach 81.5, which was 100,000 km/h.

Uh...

Upon calculating this, Dante's face changed to one of flat shock like a cartoon character. He was actually quite dumbfounded this time, as it meant that he could - entirely on foot - traverse the entire territory of the A Rank monster in 10 hours.

Well, okay then, he would stop complaining about ridiculous numbers when he himself had long since journeyed out of the realm of common sense…

Anyway, he shook his head to change his train of thought and opened a portal to the roc's territory. It usually liked to patrol during the day, and its flight speed definitely reached Dante's movement speed on the ground due to the addition of lightning.

Almost immediately, Dante sensed a surge of strong power a few hundred kilometers away. He switched up his Psionics and bumped his Intelligence to 20,000, which meant that his spirit sense could now reach that same distance in meters.

After placing a quantum marker where he was, he used Quantum Leap, this 3rd Rank short-distance spell that was upgraded from the 2nd Rank Spatial Blink to move the entire 20 kilometers at once. It took only 2 seconds to cast, and he was already there, ready to go again since his range had expanded.

Making multiple leaps in such a manner, he soon reached a mountaintop that allowed him to see the blazing comet that was the Thunder Roc, which tore through the sky, causing explosions of sound and power that struck the forest below.

Who knew how many beings were turned into charred corpses by a random strike of lightning and how many trees were turned into leafless monuments of death. Dante shook his head and took out his blood battle halberd, channeling his rich Martial Grandmaster Blood Qi that shone like an aura.

He then teleported onto the back of the moving Thunder Roc and struck down immediately.

BANG!

A huge explosion of red light emerged in the air as well as a shriek of pain. Dante leapt back and landed on his feet like a cat, though the ground beneath him cracked a bit from his force.

He glanced in front of him to see that the Thunder Roc had struck the area in front of him like a crashed plane, causing an airstrip of shattered trees and broken rocks to form for a long distance.

Dante teleported to the end of the airstrip and saw the huge form of the Thunder Roc crumpled in a crater, its wings bent and clearly unable to take off once more.

｢Monster Name: Thunder Roc

Monster Rank: A

HP: 4550/4550

Strength: 534

Agility: 766

Dexterity: 458

Intelligence: 212

Constitution: 434

Vitality: 322.｣

Its stats were pretty impressive for sure. If Dante dared to absorb it with his 160% boost, he would definitely enjoy 'pissing out' the excess energy. As such, he did not have any thoughts, but still decided to keep the corpse and of course take the Mutation Core.

As such, he jumped forward like a bullet from the edge of the crater and pierced a hole through the Thunder Roc's skull, holding the Mutation Core in hand. With a wave of his palm, the corpse was collected, and he checked his database for another target.

This time… an S Rank monster for sure. There were only 10,000 of them in existence and that number often fluctuated greatly due to their own conflicts, hierarchy decisions, and change over time, like the previous Spider Queen who had been at the S rank now being a B Rank loser.

Dante scrolled through and found a target, a cockatrice that made its nest in a poisonous bog. It was very lazy and even disdained fighting back against assailants, simply letting the nature of its environment deal with its foes.

Hoh? Such arrogance.

Well, it was not surprising since such monsters were said to be related to dragons. Since Dante had more conclusive information about it than most others, he decided on it as his target and opened a wormhole to his destination using space magic.

Before he came out of the other side, he naturally put up a spatial barrier to isolate the smell and toxins, which was just as well because the damn place was foggy as hell. The fog was colored purple-black, and Dante could see that the flora here was truly ugly and twisted, leaking pus and having boils like plague-infected patients.

He could fight like this relying on his spirit sense for sure, but why disadvantage himself even if he wanted to get a suitable challenge? As such, he cast the 3rd Rank Quantum Singularity, which was basically no different from opening a car-sized black hole beside him.

Immediately, everything but himself, which was anchored at that point in space, was rapidly dragged into that black hole like water being flushed down a sink, causing an intense vortex of wind and matter.

The trees broke into pieces and were dragged in, especially so for the blinding fog that covered the entire place. In a matter of seconds, an area of 10 kilometers in all directions was barely wasteland with only the bottom part of the topsoil left.
