The Stonehorn Ravager lowered its massive head and charged.
Each step cracked the stone floor as it forced its way through Luma’s gravity field.
Behind it, Crawlers were still being dragged sideways across the chamber, sliding helplessly into the spear line of the bald stone Sentinels.
The statues stabbed downward again and again, skewering the weaker monsters before they could reach the crystal.
But the Ravager kept coming.
Luma whistled.
“Yeah… that thing does not care.”
Seojun narrowed his eyes.
“Luma!”
“Yeah?”
“Push it left!”
Luma twisted his hand.
The gravity field shifted, slamming sideways into the Ravager like an invisible wall.
The beast staggered and slid toward the statue line.
Two Sentinels stepped forward and thrust their spears.
CLANG.
The spears bounced off the armored plates.
Seojun’s Beast Insight flickered.
New lines appeared beside the monster.
Observation Updated
• Armor plating extremely durable
• Weak points beneath plates
The Ravager roared and smashed one of the statues aside with its horns, cracking stone off its shoulder but its still standing.
Viewer1: THAT STATUE GOT DESTROYED
Viewer2: JUNX HIT THE GAPS
Viewer3: ARMOR JOINTS
Seojun ran forward.
The Ravager suddenly turned its head toward him instead of the crystal.
Its glowing eyes locked onto him.
“Oh great,” Seojun muttered.
“Now it’s personal.”
The beast lunged.
Instead of backing away, Seojun stepped toward it.
Viewer4: WAIT WHAT
Viewer5: JUNX DON’T DO IT
At the last second he slipped to the side of its head, grabbed the thick armor ridge along its neck and jumped onto its back.
The Ravager roared and bucked violently.
Seojun wrapped one arm around the creature’s neck and squeezed hard.
“Luma!” he shouted.
“Yeah?!”
“Slow it down so it doesn’t slam me into a wall!”
Luma raised his hand.
Gravity slammed down across the Ravager’s body.
The beast staggered under the crushing force, its movements suddenly sluggish.
That gave Seojun the opening he needed.
He tightened his arm and choked the monster from behind.
Viewer6: NO WAY
Viewer7: HE’S CHOKING A BOSS
Viewer8: JUNX UFC champion
Seojun gritted his teeth.
“Okay… this thing’s neck is huge.”
The Ravager thrashed violently, trying to shake him off.
“Luma!” Seojun shouted again.
“Yeah yeah!”
Luma increased the gravity pressure.
The beast’s legs buckled slightly.
Seojun pulled its head back even harder and trying to break off one of its armor plates near the neck with punches and grapples.
Viewer9: WHAT STRATEGY
Viewer10: BRO IS JUST WRESTLING IT
Seojun laughed breathlessly.
The Ravager roared and slammed its body against the floor, trying to crush him.
Seojun held on for a moment longer
Then shoved himself off the monster’s back and rolled away.
“NOW!”
Luma slammed the gravity field sideways. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
The Ravager stumbled directly into the spear line of the Sentinels.
Three stone spears thrust forward at once.
CRACK.
One of them slipped between the missing armor plates on its neck.
And drove its blade into the exposed gap.
The Ravager roared one last time
Then collapsed with a thunderous crash.
A notification appeared.
Elite Enemy Defeated
Experience flooded their interfaces as the Ravager’s massive body collapsed onto the stone floor.
Luma lowered his hand and stared at Seojun.
“…Did you just wrestle that thing?”
Seojun brushed dust off his sleeve.
“Hey,” he said with a shrug.
“It worked.”A surge of experience rushed through both of their interfaces.
A notification appeared.
Item Obtained: Ravager Gauntlets
Seojun bent down and picked them up.
The metal was thick and rugged, with the same stone like plating the monster had on its body.
A small information window appeared.

Luma walked over and looked at them.
“…That actually fits you.”
Seojun slipped one of the gauntlets onto his hand and flexed his fingers.
The metal plates shifted smoothly.
“Yeah,” he said.
“Good timing too.”
The chat immediately went wild.
Viewer1: JUNX PUNCH BUILD
Viewer2: THE GAME KNEW
Luma shook his head, laughing.
“Now you’re definitely going to start punching everything.”
Seojun smirked.
“I was already doing that.”
Then a new window appeared in front of them.

“Control probably scales how many monsters I can tame later…”
Luma pointed at the gauntlets.
“Or you could become the first professional monster boxer.”
Seojun laughed.

Seojun ignored the chat and started allocating points.
