One Strike from an SSS-Rank Beast-Girl
"Hiss!"
"Children of major families really are on another level from us ordinary folk."
"Yeah... I heard they eat Demonic Beast Cores like candy!"
Leon, however, showed no fear at all.
His hand rested on Selena’s waist.
He could feel her warmth through the robe.
Her G cup tits pressed against his arm.
She didn’t flinch.
She didn’t pull away.
"Dear Selena." His voice was calm. "Show them what you can do. Unleash your beast-soul skill."
Selena nodded.
Her power converged.
A radiant white tiger silhouette danced across the sky.
It coalesced into an invisible blade.
**[Sacred Beast Skill · White Tiger Judgment]**
*"BOOM!"*
A deafening blast shook the entire ground beneath their feet.
The invisible blade struck dozens of times in an instant.
When everyone regained their senses, Diana had already been sent flying backward.
Her body was covered in wounds.
Blood staining her clothes red.
She crashed to the ground.
Her deer horns cracked.
Her golden light faded.
She whimpered in pain.
Everyone froze.
Then—an uproar swept through the crowd.
"Th-This... how is this possible?" Magnus muttered in shock.
His face pale.
By the time anyone reacted, Leon and Selena had already vanished.
They were gone.
Like smoke in the wind.
That incredibly powerful beast-girl had gradually faded into the dust stirred up by the explosion.
"A Level 48 beast-girl—defeated in a single blow?"
"How strong is that?"
"What level is she?"
"Level ten!" a teacher who knew the truth murmured.
"A single blow at level ten can instantly defeat a Level 48 beast-girl?!"
Evan’s face was deathly pale.
His expression wooden.
As if he had seen a ghost.
This had completely shattered his understanding of the world.
"Mother... you’ve become something like this?"
His voice cracked.
His fists clenched.
His nails dug into his palms.
Blood dripped to the ground.
Everyone’s gazes turned toward the direction where Leon had disappeared.
Their hearts filled with shock and awe.
"No—this isn’t just about levels."
An elderly man in a grey robe spoke slowly.
His eyes gleaming with sharp light.
"Did you notice that invisible sword energy? That’s no ordinary beast-soul skill. At the very least, it’s an S-rank skill—or even..."
Before the old man could finish, someone in the crowd couldn’t help but exclaim: "SSS-rank! Only an SSS-rank beast-soul could possess such a powerful skill!"
Before they only assumed. Now they believed.
"What?! SSS-rank?!"
"Good heavens—how is that possible?"
"Impossible! When did Aurelia City ever have an SSS-rank beast-soul?!"
Exclamations of shock erupted across the venue like a boiling pot.
Every face was painted with astonishment.
"Master, what do we do now?" Diana asked.
Though heavily injured, she struggled to her feet.
Her face filled with terror.
Her body trembling.
"Hmph!"
"We leave!"
Magnus spat out two cold words.
Then turned and walked away.
He knew.
Things had spiraled far beyond his control.
The Blackheart family had lost.
For now.
[Quest 2 complete. Rewards distributed.]
[Ding-dong! Newbie Quest 3: Triggered!]
[Newbie Quest 3: Participate in the upcoming martial exams and achieve excellent results. Upon completion, rewards will be granted based on exam performance. Maximum reward: 10 evolution opportunities!]
"Hiss!"
Leon was momentarily stunned.
Maximum reward—ten evolution opportunities.
*If I find a few more powerful beast-girls...*
*Who in this world could stop me?*
The SSS-rank White Tiger—the embodiment of slaughter—was already his contracted beast-girl.
If he got a few more Sacred Beast-level...
He couldn’t even imagine it!
"The martial exams, huh?" A smile curled at the corner of Leon’s mouth.
In this world, Demonic Beasts ran rampant.
Natural disasters and man-made calamities struck without warning.
It was an incredibly dangerous place.
On the local level, powerful noble families controlled all the resources.
For example—Demonic Beast Cores.
The rich ate them like candy.
Ordinary people might not get one in an entire year.
This directly led to high-ranking beast-soul masters being almost entirely monopolized.
It was nearly impossible for ordinary people to rise.
If a beast tide came... ordinary people without contracted beast-girls would only become food for the savage beasts.
Or perhaps—in this gamified, data-driven world—no one cared about ordinary lives at all.
Leon clenched his fists.
*I have to become stronger.*
*Contract more beast-girls.*
*Evolve all of them to the highest tier.*
He was done with feeling weak.
He looked at Selena.
Her golden eyes met his.
Her white silver hair swayed gently.
Her G cup tits rose and fell with each breath.
Her fitted snow-white robe hugged her curves.
The gold sash emphasized her narrow waist.
Her peach-shaped ass was firm and defined.
Her thick thighs were wrapped in golden energy.
She was magnificent.
She was his.
"Dear Selena." His voice was soft. "Are you ready for what comes next?"
Selena’s lips curved into a small smile.
"You’ve given me power I never dreamed of, Leon. I don’t know what comes next. But I know one thing."
"What’s that?"
"I’m with you." Her voice was firm. "Whatever happens. Wherever we go. I’m with you."
Leon smiled.
"Good."
He wrapped his arm around her waist.
She leaned into him.
"Let’s go, Dear Selena. We have work to do."
They walked away together.
The crowd parted before them.
Whispers followed behind them.
But Leon didn’t care.
He had his beast-girl.
He had his power.
He had his future.
And it was only the beginning.
