Samiri was currently having a difficult fight against Ragthorax. For the tenth time already, he had been sent flying away by the monster.

Yet despite that, his face still showed the expression of someone craving even more battle.

"Yes! Yes! That’s it! Give me more!" Samiri shouted excitedly.

He slapped his bulky chest repeatedly, provoking Ragthorax to attack him harder. The large wound on his chest quickly regenerated and closed on its own.

Meanwhile, Ragthorax still possessed plenty of health. It opened its massive jaws and lunged forward, attempting to bite Samiri whole.

Samiri grinned wildly and raised both of his arms to receive the attack head-on.

However,suddenly, a crimson-red figure appeared between them.

THUMP!

BAM!

Ragthorax was struck and forced to stumble its head backward while Samiri was blown away into a nearby rock formation.

Samiri looked shocked by the sudden attack. He pushed the shattered stones away from his body and looked ahead.

Oliver was standing there completely covered in crimson aura from head to toe. The aura surrounding him was far thicker and more violent than before.

"Give me more, Husk! I’m really furious right now! I want to kill both of them!" Oliver shouted.

(It will be dangerous. This is already your limit. Your body cannot handle mana beyond this amount.)

"Please, Husk, I want revenge for Tamera. If not, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life."

Husk fell silent as he looked at Oliver’s current state. Even the system had remained silent since earlier.

(Fine. But listen carefully, kid. I’ll only release half of my true power, and I’m giving you one minute. After that, I’ll forcefully stop the synchronization.)

"One minute is enough." Oliver muttered.

Normally, synchronization only lasted for several minutes. But thanks to his high Familiarity with Husk, their synchronization could now last up to seven minutes.

However, what Husk was attempting now was something entirely different, a forced Limit Break.

The risks far outweighed the benefits. One of the greatest dangers was the permanent mental collapse of the tamer.

Oliver had already once entered an uncontrollable state when he synchronized with Husk for the very first time.

But this time, it was far more dangerous than before.

Oliver fully understood the risk. Yet this was the only way to fight these overwhelming enemies.

Suddenly, the crimson aura surrounding him changed from a fading red into a bright, violent red.

Its intensity grew thicker and denser by the second. Sharp claws formed on both of Oliver’s hands and legs. A tail slowly emerged from his back. And his face became completely covered by the aura.

At that moment, he looked less like a human and more like a monstrous wolf.

"What is wrong with this boy?" Samiri muttered. Not a single trace of fear appeared on his face even after witnessing Oliver’s transformation.

Suddenly, Oliver disappeared from his vision the moment Samiri blinked.

Samiri’s eyes widened as he turned to the side and saw Oliver in his Full Crimson Form driving a punch directly into his face.

The impact distorted Samiri’s face violently. But Oliver did not stop there. He immediately unleashed a relentless combo of attacks across Samiri’s entire body without pause.

Bang!

Boom!

THUMP!

Every part of Samiri’s body was struck repeatedly before Oliver finished the combo with a devastating kick to his torso.

The kick sent Samiri flying dozens of meters away toward the Crimsonmoon Forest, smashing through countless trees along the way.

Oliver slowly stood still as hot mist escaped from his mouth.

Then, he shifted his attention toward Ragthorax, which was currently attempting to take flight by flapping its wings.

"You’re not going anywhere until I tame you!"

Oliver dashed toward Ragthorax at incredible speed and grabbed one of its legs. He violently pulled the monster downward before swinging it and smashing its massive body into the ground.

BOOM!

Oliver then jumped onto Ragthorax’s body and repeatedly smashed it with both of his fists. Blood began pouring from Ragthorax as it released painful growls.

Using his eyes, Oliver saw Ragthorax’s HP finally turn red. He immediately raised his hand, preparing to tame it.

"Initiate taming-"

BAM!!

Before he could even finish casting, a powerful blow slammed directly into his face. Before Oliver could be sent flying away, a hand suddenly grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air.

"Hahaha! You really thought your current form could defeat me? It was nothing more than a scratch. You’re still one hundred, no, one thousand years too early if you think you can defeat me." Samiri laughed loudly.

His body looked completely clean,as if he had never been injured at all.

"You... monster..." Oliver muttered. That was the only thing he could say. The man standing before him was someone far beyond anything Oliver could currently defeat.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

BAM!!

The punch was so powerful that Oliver was sent stumbling and rolling across the ground multiple times before finally stopping.

His head spun violently as a concussion clouded his mind. The crimson aura covering his body slowly began disappearing as the one-minute limit had already passed.

[Velkryss (Husk) has entered Sleep Mode for 72 Hours.]

Because of the forced Limit Break, Husk had suffered far greater strain, causing his Sleep Mode duration to increase drastically.

And only seconds later, another notification appeared.

[Cannonyx (Nyx) and Arachqueen (Queen) have been defeated. Both will be unavailable for 24 Hours.]

Utter defeat.

That was exactly what Oliver felt at that moment. Just when he thought he had entered the ranks of the elite after defeating Auron and his Rank S monster.

There existed beings far more terrifying than that. At that moment, Oliver felt unbelievably foolish.

His vision slowly began blurring. Then, he saw Messenio arrive nearby.

"Hey, Samiri. Why are you wasting time already? Tame the monster now. I already tamed mine."

’Done taming? Did he really manage to tame a monster from the system? What is actually happening here...?’

Oliver’s eyes slowly became heavier.

"Tsk. Alright, alright."

Samiri cut his own hand before pointing his bleeding palm toward Ragthorax.

"Forbidden Taming, Unholy Prayer of Corruption!"

A massive black-and-red magical array appeared beneath Ragthorax. Dark mist poured out endlessly from the array before completely engulfing the monster.

Moments later, Ragthorax’s body transformed into countless black particles and entered Samiri’s body.

"No... those are... my monsters..." Oliver muttered weakly.

"Hm? Sorry, child. Correction. They were your monsters. But don’t blame us. Blame yourself for failing to tame them before we arrived."

Messenio looked down at Oliver calmly.

"Don’t worry. We were ordered not to take your life. So live happily. Enjoy your life, and become stronger. Farewell."

The two of them then disappeared into dark portals before the portals themselves vanished into nothingness.

Oliver’s vision slowly became cloudier and cloudier until everything finally turned completely black.
