The monster's bellow ripped across the broken street.Cars flipped. Windows shattered. The ground trembled.
Leon shielded Helena.Chris grabbed his radio.Jake clenched his fists.Sherry raised her gun.
And Nobita…
He stood alone in the center of the battlefield, dagger trembling in his hand, blood dripping from his shoulder.
He stared at Ustanak with a mixture of pain… and determination.
Then—the system spoke.
[Hunter Mode: 60% Synced][Adrenal Reactivity: High][Mental Stability: Locked][Permission to evolve: Granted]
Nobita's breathing slowed.
His heartbeat calmed.
His vision sharpened until every raindrop, every crack in the asphalt, every spark in Ustanak's joints became crystal clear.
Leon noticed the change instantly.
"…Hey… kid… your eyes…"
Nobita's pupils narrowed to slits.A feral glow—gold and cold—began to spread.
Sherry gasped."He's… transforming?"
Chris stepped forward."This isn't normal. This is biological evolution. But how?!"
Nobita dropped into a low stance.
The dagger glinted.
His shadow stretched unnaturally long.
Ustanak roared—
And Nobita whispered:
"…Hunter Mode… activate."
3 — Hunter Mode: Full Synchronization
[Hunter Mode: 100%][Speed × 7][Strength × 4][Pain suppressed][Predator Instinct: Online]
Everything went silent.
Leon felt a shiver.Chris felt his breath stop.Jake muttered, "No way…"Helena stared wide-eyed.Sherry's jaw dropped.
Then—
Nobita vanished.
No footsteps.No dust.No sound.
Just—
SHOOM—
A black blur rushing straight toward the monster.
"WHAT—?!" Leon shouted.
Even Ustanak couldn't react.
Nobita appeared behind him, sliding low along the ground like a black dagger shot from a bow.
The creature swung—
But Nobita wasn't there.
He was already climbing.
Running up Ustanak's back like a shadow on fire.
Cutting off the first arm
Nobita planted the dagger into the monster's shoulder and whispered:
"…Cut."
Then he pulled.
The blade sliced through flesh, cables, and steel like paper.
SHRRRRRRKKK!
Ustanak screamed.
Its massive mechanical arm dropped onto the ground with a deafening thud.
BOOM.
Leon's eyes widened.
"How did he—!?"
Chris's heart pounded.
"That kid… just cut… THAT arm?!"
Jake gritted his teeth."That thing weighs a ton…"
Sherry whispered:"He's not human…"
But Ustanak was still alive.
It lifted its remaining arm—massive, fleshy, and brutal.
It swung at Nobita.
This time, Nobita didn't dodge.
He stepped toward the attack.
Leon screamed:"KID, NO—!"
Nobita lowered himself, eyes glowing brighter.
His legs coiled.
His fingers tightened on the dagger.
And then—
WHOOSH!
He jumped straight upward.
The attack passed under him, crashing through a building.
Nobita twisted midair and slashed across Ustanak's elbow joint.
SKRRRTTT—
The remaining arm fell.
Blood sprayed across the street.
Both massive limbs gone.
Ustanak roared in pain, stumbling backward.
Its balance broke.
Its anger rising.
Its fear… for the first time… visible.
Chris whispered:"This boy is… a weapon."
Ustanak charged blindly, trying to stomp Nobita flat.
But Nobita was already moving.
Hunter Mode didn't let him think—It let him hunt.
He sprinted—faster than bullets—low to the ground, zig-zagging so violently the asphalt broke under his steps.
Leon's voice echoed somewhere far behind him:
"Kid! Keep moving!"
Nobita wasn't listening anymore.Not consciously.
His instincts roared:
[Disable mobility.][Target legs.]
Nobita slid beneath Ustanak's legs—
And slashed.
SKRACK!
The Achilles tendon broke.
Ustanak fell to one knee.
Nobita spun to the other leg—
SLASH—
Tendon snapped.
The monster crashed to the ground like a collapsing skyscraper.
When the dust cleared—
Ustanak lay helpless.
Legs severed.Arms severed.
Nobita stood in front of him, covered in dust and blood, chest rising and falling slowly.
A hunter staring at prey.
Leon approached slowly.
"Kid… step back. You've done enough. You'll die if you—"
Nobita didn't move.
Ustanak roared one last time, desperately trying to lift its broken stump of a body.
Nobita lifted the dagger.
aura flickered around him.
[Final Strike Permission Granted]
He stepped once.
Twice.
Then, He pressed his dagger in the monster neck
and....
SHHHHKKK—!
A perfect hunter's finish.
Ustanak's head slid off…And rolled across the street.
Silence.
The monster's body collapsed like a dead tree.
Nobita stood still.
The system echoed:
[Boss Defeated][Hunter Mode Cooling Down][Vital Energy Low][Force Shutdown Imminent]
His vision blurred.
His legs trembled.
Leon dropped his gun and ran forward.
"Kid! Hey!!"
Sherry rushed behind him.Helena limped.Jake followed.Even Chris looked shaken.
Nobita's golden eyes flickered…
"…Leon… Helena… I saved you…"
And he collapsed face-first into Leon's arms.
Leon caught him and shouted, panicked:
"Kid?! Stay with me! HEY!"
Chris crouched beside him.
"This boy… he just saved the entire team."
Jake looked at the severed Ustanak corpse.
Sherry held her breath.
Helena whispered, voice trembling:
"He's… a monster-slayer…"
Leon held Nobita tightly, shaking.
"…Who are you…?"
Fade out.
