Chapter 63: Going All out

It was common knowledge that if a human D-Rank and a beast D-Rank faced each other, the beast would win seventy percent of the time.

Monsters were stronger than humans in almost every way.

This was why most hunting groups sent two or three E-Rank hunters together—or a low D-Rank among them—to bring down an E-Rank monster.

Numbers mattered. So did tactics. Even with a D-Rank on the team, the fight could easily go wrong.

The gap wasn't just biology, though monsters did have an edge there.

Their muscles were denser, their bodies more durable. But it was also the way they fought.

Monsters always attacked with pure killing intent. Relentless. Without hesitation.

Humans fought to survive. Monsters fought to kill.

That difference alone made survival a brutal challenge.
