I Became a National ‘Disaster’ Level Monster

Chapter 92: The Monster That Set Akihabara on Fire in Japan

The Japan-themed dungeon map in .

The first part of the Kitsune Family episode, the Ballroom Raid, involved five cycles in total, where monsters trapped in the basement would escape through dimensional portals.

In other words, if the first blackout had started, it meant that similar incidents would occur about four more times.

‘Naturally, the danger of the monsters appearing will increase exponentially with each subsequent blackout.’

At first, only ragtag monsters of D to quasi-C ranks appeared, but during the final fifth blackout, a monster emerged that had once driven 20th-century Japan into terror.

The A-rank monster, a descendant of the “dinosaur monster” known as “Godzilla,” named Godzilla Junior appeared.

‘Of course, it would be easy to capture if I brought Lorensky here…’

However, there were too many eyes watching to use Lorensky here.

Before being a national power-level Hunter of Russia, he was, on the surface, branded a “criminal” as a Soviet war criminal, making it impossible to call him recklessly.

Then, the only remaining option was…

‘Looks like I’ll have to step up myself…?’

After all, I had anticipated something like this when I entered the ballroom.

Of course, I couldn’t transform into a monster with so many people watching.

Yes, I couldn’t transform into a monster where people could ‘see.’

However, there was a trick I learned after wandering around the Kitsune Family map for a staggering 60 hours.

“Keeek!”

“Kigigigik!”

As soon as the monsters appeared after the blackout, I immediately crouched down.

Then, I stealthily crawled to the location I had in mind, out of sight from others.

That location was none other than under a table covered with a tablecloth.

‘Who would have thought that the ‘hiding spot’ would be under such a shabby table~.’

Just as I thought.

It was truly ridiculous, but the space under this table, made with no special materials and in the most ordinary way, was the only hiding spot in the Kitsune Family ballroom map.

In other words, as long as I stayed here, there was no chance of being caught by the monsters!

Originally, it was a location I had discovered by accident while playing as a long-range Hunter in the game.

At the time, I was so surprised that I even worried whether such a function had disappeared because the game had turned into reality.

“Kikikikik!”

“Kagakak!”

“It’s quite effective, huh?”

The monsters just passed by without noticing the space under the table.

Even the black lightning that erupted from my body the moment I transformed into a monster would be invisible since it was the same color as the blackout.

Click.

“The second one…”

As the humans were gradually being cornered.

Everyone pressed against one wall of the ballroom, waiting for the moment when they wouldn’t be caught up in my transformation.

Click.

“The third one… now!”

Finally, when I only felt the presence of monsters around the table where I was hiding.

“Uraaaaah-!!”

Click.

As I transformed into a monster, I tore through the throats of all the monsters that appeared in the blackout.

“What, what is that…?!”

“A humanoid monster?”

The moment the lights came back on, the area around me was littered with the bloodstained corpses of monsters.

“Grurrr…”

‘Fortunately, everyone held on well, clinging to the wall.’

While reassuring myself by looking at the people.

“Fire… Fire!”

“At whom?!”

“Just fire at everything that looks like a monster!”

Rat-a-tat-tat.

As expected from the bodyguards protecting one of the world’s top 10 families.

Seeing them equipped with monster-hunting bullets that were nearly impossible for non-military personnel to acquire, I felt a bit relieved.

While being pelted with bullets that didn’t hurt at all, I assessed the situation.

Princess Kurumi’s side seemed fine, and since I had dealt with more than half of the third blackout as soon as the lights went out, we could probably resolve this incident easily…

“Asuna!”

…was what I thought.

“Krk!?”

Come to think of it, in the original story, the Ballroom Raid was an episode that was cleared as a two-person team with Asuna.

Which meant that Asuna, fighting alone without the protagonist, would naturally encounter unforeseen circumstances.

“Krgaaaaak!”

Asuna, who had moved too far ahead while defeating the monsters.

Her familiar, Tengen, was on the complete opposite side of her.

There was no one around to protect Asuna, who had closed her eyes, resigned to her fate.

So…

“Watch over my death until the end.”

In the original story, she had brought about her own death to eliminate the family’s corruption, no matter what.

Watching her die with resignation in every playthrough as I tried countless times to save her through the screen had always left me feeling suffocated.

“Kraaaaaaa!!”

‘There’s no way I’m going to watch something like that here too!’

Boom-!

Don’t make me stressed out by the game I bought to relieve stress.

With that in mind, I quickly dashed forward and punched all the monsters surrounding Asuna into oblivion with a single blow.

And that wasn’t all.

Rumble-!

“The, the wall!?”

As expected from the territory of one of the world’s top 10 families, all the buildings in the Kitsune Family’s territory were constructed from special alloys that didn’t exist in the real world.

There was a reason why the buildings had remained intact for over 2,200 years without any major construction.

But thanks to my rage-fueled punch, a huge hole was made in the wall of the building, which had been used as a ballroom and a place of harmony for over 2,200 years.

“How, how could this happen…!”

Originally, the ballroom was a place that couldn’t be exited until the five blackouts had ended.

I naturally locked eyes with the people who were secretly chanting spells nearby, who looked every bit like the masterminds behind this incident.

“Are you… people from the Shiburo Family?”

“Ah, Princess Asuna?! You broke through that wall? How on earth…?”

“Ah, well…”

Asuna couldn’t answer properly since it wasn’t something she had done.

‘Are those the fallen Hunter families that were only mentioned in the original story?’

Meanwhile, since things had come to this, I decided to skip through this raid part quickly without waiting for the five blackouts.

“Krk! Krk!”

“A, a monster?!”

I was about to walk towards the people who seemed to be from the Shiburo Family.

“Damn it! Since it’s come to this, I’ll show you our ultimate, life-risking strategy!”

Mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble.

The fallen family in front of us started chanting something like a spell.

It was a pattern I had never seen in the original, but I knew what kind of trump card they would pull out.

“Come forth! The legendary national disaster-level monster that once threw all of Japan into terror!”

“N, no way…!”

“Yes, that no way!”

“Shiburo Family! Are you truly planning to commit an unforgivable sin?!”

“Hmph! Such things… We were prepared for this ever since we planned this terror attack!”

A huge magic circle began to form among the people of the Shiburo Family, who were covered in black cloth.

And simultaneously, a massive presence began to emerge from within the magic circle.

“Show yourself! The great monster that once burned all of Akihabara in Tokyo to the ground, ‘Godzilla Junior’!”

“Grurrrrr…!”

It was like seeing a Tyrannosaurus Rex straight out of the movie *Jurassic Park*.

A giant lizard, roughly the size of the castle in the Kitsune Family’s territory, revealed itself.

“Kraaaaaa-!!”

At least carnivorous dinosaurs have small arms.

This thing had huge arms, making it a true monster.

‘Its size must be around 50 meters?’

“Godzilla Junior! They released a national disaster-level candidate monster that was sealed in the Kitsune Family’s underground…!”

“Hahaha! Our family had no future left anyway! If you’d helped us when we reached out, this wouldn’t have happened!”

“What nonsense…! The reason the Shiburo Family was doomed was due to internal corruption, why are you blaming us?!”

“Grk?! Y-you… silver-spooned brat! Do you even know what it’s like to be part of a noble family on the brink of extinction?!”

If I’m going to die, I’ll take you with me.

Seeing the people of the Shiburo Family spout such righteous-sounding nonsense, Asuna quickly stopped thinking.

It was like talking to a brick wall.

“Th-that black monster over there!”

“Grk…?”

‘Me?’

“You seem humanoid, so you must be a familiar that can communicate at least a little. Hurry and bring Sister Kurumi here. Only she can stop that monster!”

It seemed that Asuna recognized me as an ally, considering I had protected her, and so she gave me orders instead of my master.

‘Does she plan to use Amaterasu to kill that thing?’

Well, considering I’ve fought Amaterasu, I thought that not just Godzilla Junior but even Godzilla himself would be no match for her.

‘But I’m right here…’

Still, it hurt my pride a bit.

Why did she have no expectations of me when I was standing right there, having defeated Amaterasu (with one arm broken)?

“Grk? Grk?”

‘What about me?’

“…Huh? Why are you pointing at yourself all of a sudden?”

“There’s no time, so

hurry and bring Sister Kurumi! There’s no way you, even as a monster, wouldn’t know the famous Sister Kurumi.”

Geez, that’s harsh.

It was the first time I had been treated like a background character since transforming into a monster, so it seemed I got a bit worked up.

“Kraaaaaaa-!”

“Hahaha! Yes! Go, Godzilla Junior! Go and wipe out every human in Japan, including the Kitsune Family!”

That big lizard monster.

I’ll ‘hunt’ it.

As a martial artist, I couldn’t let it slide when my pride was on the line.

I prepared to deliver a precise and clean punch to the belly of Godzilla Junior, who was slowly charging towards me…

Boom-!

“What?”

“Huh?”

“Grk?”

…but before I could.

“The Monster of Jamsil! Just as they say, you meet your enemy on a narrow bridge, and here we meet again!”

The figure who landed in front of the collapsing corpse of Godzilla Junior, whose ferocious face had been blown up like a firework.

“You wouldn’t have forgotten Lorensky, would you?!”

“……”

‘Damn, why is he here?!’

At the sudden appearance of Lorensky, I immediately retracted my fist and instead prepared to deliver a knock to the head that wouldn’t kill, my original specialty, Han Shin-woo style.
