For a few seconds, Legs felt regret.


    ''Why didn''t I use the Special Developer Package on this guy?''


    ''He would have made much better use of the package''.


    ''He is almost a perfect beast''.


    Throughout the battle against the Warpsnare, all that Legs was engaged in was observation. He carefully observed the abilities of the Warpsnare to determine if it was worth it for him to take as his 4th contracted beast.


    The first Frog form of the Warpsnare was powerful but if that was all that it could offer, to Legs, taking it was not worth it.


    After the death of it''s first form though, the ability of the Warpsnare to revive in another form was the first ability that fascinated him.


    Knowing that the Warpsnare had a Blood Vampire form increased his overall grade for it. The power shown by the Blood Vampire impressed him, this was the reason why he decided to finally end the show once and for all.


    He was already satisfied with the Warpsnare, he didn''t want it to kill one of the hunters before interfering because that was already the trajectory of the battle.


    When he decided to subdue it, he didn''t expect the Warpsnare to have other forms. When a Dark Warg appeared, Legs was surprised and impressed but he was even more shocked and impressed when he received the first attack.


    Neither of the Vampire or Warg attacked him yet, it was another form beast.


    The form that attacked him was a Deceit Monkey.


    "Wow! 4 forms, that is crazier than I expected already!"


    Another important factor that shocked him even more was the incredible ability of the Deceit Monkey to bypass the protection abilities of the gray world and use abilities that sessfully affected his mind and soul.


    To him, it was already a given, he must get this Warpsnare, this was the reason why he didn''t even bother to hold back any longer.

    You have activatedbat ability: Combat Master


    ----


    This was all he needed to subdue the Warpsnare.


    Before attacking to subdue the Warpsnare though, Legs needed to fight to regain the correct perception of reality. At this moment, the reality that he saw was one where everyone of his hunter teammates were tripled.


    Not only that, the Warpsnare''s forms were quadrupled.


    And still not just that, some of his hunter teammates seemed to go against him. ''Why would they go against me? What a ridiculous reality!''


    Whoosh!


    He rushed forward at all the Warpsnare forms as it also reacted.


    The Dark Wargs made their moves.


    "Arctic Summoning!"


    "Dark Telepathy!"


    "Compulsion!"


    Instantly after the activation of these 3 abilities, 3 things happened.


    First, a teleportation portal opened through which an army of Wargs wielding both dark and cold affinity charged through. Even as they charged towards Legs, the Dark Telepathy ability also took effect.


    In an instant, more hunters seemed to have been convinced by the incredible abilities of the Warpsnare as they turned against Legs, raising arms against him.


    Not just that, Legs was also not free from this harassment.


    ''Legs! Give up! You can''t win!'' These voices floated into his ears.


    ''Fighting against me is futile!''


    ''I cannot die!''


    ''I cannot be killed!''


    ''You cannot see my Deceit Monkey form and without seeing me, you can never break free from my Perception Distortion and Deceit abilities''.


    ''You have already been caught in it, this is your reality now''.


    ''You can''t fight it, sumb to it''.


    ''Surrender and be another of my vessels, fulfill your full potential by bing my new form. Join me let''s dominate the world together''.


    "…" Legs felt ridiculous.


    "Hahaha…!" Heughed loudly. "So funny!"


    "I came to make you my contracted beast and surprisingly, you now also aim to make me your vessel and new form, this life is really full of cannibalism".


    "Only the strong get to make the rules".


    He grinned. "Let the strong write the history today".


    At this point, like the Warpsnare said, Legs recognized that he was already drawn too deep in this distorted perception of reality.


    Even as he easily defended himself against the horde of attacks that flew towards him from the Warpsnare''s forms and his own hunters, he also recognized that at this moment, he was making no progress in subduing the Warpsnare.


    This was why he changed his strategy.


    ''Before, I loved calcting and strategizing since I was never strong enough''.


    ''But this time, I am actually the stronger of us 2''.


    ''There''s no need forplicated strategies, pure strength trumps everything''. He grinned.


    "Ak!"


    Despite how much his perception of reality was distorted, the Deceit Monkey was still nowhere powerful enough to distort his connection to his own contracted beast. Ak charged through all the interference towards him.

    ----


    Bzzz!


    Power oozed out of Legs'' body into the surroundings.


    Instantly after he fused with Ak again, he did not hesitate this time, manipting Ak''s powers, he activated the Alpha Wolf Specialty as instantly, the power of tens of thousands of wolves rushed into his body.


    He did not stop at that, Legs also decided to conjure Predator''s powers. Instantly, darkness energy rushed into his body with the force of an avnche.


    Legs felt bloated with power.


    He didn''t even need to attack, the pure manifestation of power around him finally exceeded the tolerance limits of the Deceit Monkey.


    Crack!


    "Yeee…!" The Monkey yelped in pain as it coughed blood.


    The fake reality created by this beast shattered.


    And for the first time, Legs saw the Deceit Monkey as it''s injury temporarily forced it to appear. It was an old ck monkey that looked like a Baboon, but much hairier, with a much bigger head.


    "Found you!"


    Before Legs could pounce on this opportunity to attack it though, he discovered something, there wasmotion all around him.


    "You bastard!"


    "Edgar, you traitor! How can you do this to us?"


    "Who is this guy? He is not one of the Grade C Lords of the Hunter Society, have you betrayed the trust of the Hunter Society?"


    "Edgar, what have you done?!"


    "Bastard! I trusted you!"


    All the hunters were already triggered by his sudden decision to subdue the beast singlehandedly. Him revealing his true powers made them snap back to reality, they were all veteran hunters, they easily understood his motive.


    ''He intends to take the Warpsnare for himself''.


    Despite the division andpetition in the Hunter Society, when faced against an external enemy, every hunter put aside their ego and cooperate, this was one of the core rules of the Hunter Society.


    Since the poption in Austere was at an all-time low, added to the fact that there were even fewer supers, literally every hunter in the Hunter Society knew the Grade C Lords in the Hunter Society and Legs was not one of them.


    For decades, they were indoctrinated into a set of rules.


    ''Any Super not part of the Hunter Society is an enemy''.


    ''He is either a rebel or even worse, an alien sent by the Monsters to trick us into surrendering the rest parts of the that is under out control''.


    ''We cannot fall for their tricks''.


    ''We must remain strong''.


    ''We shall defend our to ourst breath!''


    Remembering these words, all of them felt their passion be stoked. "Edgar, tell us! Is he a rebel or an alien?!"


    "We shall defend our to ourst breath!"


    Edgar was already in trouble as he retreated from the battle after being attacked by multiple attacks from the hunters he previously saw asrades.


    Seeing everything that happened, Legs finally understood.


    ''So the Deceit Monkey didn''tpletely make up the conflict in his distorted reality. He simply took facts from reality and slightly twisted them, nice''.


    Despite the frenzied charge of the hunters, Legs was not fazed, nothing would stop him from getting his goal today, he charged towards the Warpsnare.


    Unlike the other hunters, the Warpsnare was totally shocked by what happened. This was the first time in a long time that its distorted reality was shattered so convincingly even after it was forced to bring out all 4 of its forms.


    This was rich considering that in its eventful life, it had killed 2 Grade C Monsters that let down their guards already.


    Legs'' convincing effectiveness told this intelligent beast that it stood no chance, the Warpsnare finally decided to cut its losses and escape.


    "Shriek!"


    Its screech was loud as its Deceit Monkey form became invisible again.


    Thest 2 forms also turned in a bid to escape.


    Legs snorted. "Not under my watch!"
