I Became a National ‘Disaster’ Level Monster

Chapter 47: The Ultimate Technique of Kyokushin Karate

「You. What. Are. You?」

Amaterasu was simply bewildered.

After the ancient times ended and only insignificant creatures were left in the world, she thought there was no one left who could rival her in this world.

She was the one who could destroy this world if she wanted to.

But what was this existence?

「In. Any. Myth. You. Did. Not. Exist.」

“Growl…”

「What. Are. You!」

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Without any answer, a pitch-black monster started to rush forward at a terrifying speed.

She shouldn’t close the distance with it.

Sensing this with all her senses, Amaterasu immediately twisted the direction of the tree branches extending everywhere, trying to impale the monster charging at her.

But.

Clang!

「…Huh?」

A predator of nature.

The roots of the sapling would sprout wherever they pierced any hard object and devour all the life within.

Amaterasu’s tree branches, which had once transformed the entire Japanese archipelago into an ecosystem similar to the current Amazon, failed to penetrate the pitch-black monster’s body.

「It… doesn’t pierce?」

“Growl…”

Crack. Crack.

If so, she planned to at least bind it and seal it forever.

But even that was futile as the pitch-black monster began tearing away the branches that started to envelop it, drawing closer and closer.

「This…! A. Defective. Creation. That. Appeared. After. The. Son. Of. God!」

Amaterasu, feeling her divine dignity was scratched, became furious at the reality that something at least 2000 years younger dared to challenge her.

Crack.

“Grrk?!”

The surrounding tree roots began to grow at a frightening speed, fueled by the emotions of the giant who created the forest.

The forest, which had turned the entire dome of the amusement park into a jungle, started to grow instantly, reaching higher and higher into the sky.

It was not just the roots but even the leaves that started to form, growing into a gigantic sapling that could cover the entire sky of Songpa-gu.

「I. Am. The. Sun. God. Amaterasu.」

“Growl.”

「My. Life. Force. Is. Nature. Itself. And. My. Nutrients. Are. All. The. Living. Things. That. Enter. My. Shade.」

“Growl?”

In other words.

If the saplings of the amusement park that are still growing spread out from Songpa-gu and cover all of Seoul, and grow further from there, they will grow into a ‘world tree’ that can cover all of South Korea…!

「You. Will. Have. To. Fight. All. The. 50. Million. Lives. In. This. Land!」

Win or lose, all humanity in South Korea would be annihilated.

「My. Victory! Your. Defeat!」

Amaterasu laughed heartily, confident of her victory.

Fueled by such emotions, the sapling grew even faster.

In less than a minute, its length was already comparable to Seoul’s Lotte World Tower, which was about 500 meters tall.

Seeing such a massively growing tree, all the humans outside the amusement park, be they hunters or civilians, held their breath.

There was no way a tree growing at that speed could be beneficial.

Realizing instinctively that it was harmful, they didn’t even know how to control such a monstrous growth rate.

“Mom…”

“What about the branch manager inside?”

“We can’t reach him…”

“Haha… It’s all over… We’re doomed…!”

Those who despaired.

Those who gave up.

Those who shed tears.

As a god suddenly appeared in the peaceful 21st century, after the Industrial Revolution and two world wars, all humans knelt and begged for their lives.

Except for one person.

“Growl!”

「…What is that…」

Except for one person or one Humanoid Monster who was about to leap.

“Growl…”

‘The kicking technique of Kyokushin Karate…’

Seeing the tree branches starting to grow around him, Shin-woo prepared to leap by twisting his body as much as possible, ready to spin.

Meanwhile, the monster…

Even its kin!

「Is that. By any chance. A human’s. ‘Technique’?」

Amaterasu was dumbfounded at the sight of the monster mimicking the actions of weak humans.

“Growl.”

‘Don’t be surprised just yet.’

Shin-woo leaped about 5 meters into the air.

“Grrk, grr!”

‘I’ll show you something truly amazing now!’

Extending one leg that had gathered rotational force from the ground, he spun 360 degrees, slashing all the tree branches surrounding the amusement park.

‘Kyokushin Karate – Aerial Spin Kick.’

The sharp force from his foot cut through the branches like an invisible blade, spreading instantly beyond the amusement park.

When Shin-woo landed again, the inside of the amusement park seemed unchanged.

But, but…

「The, the trees…!」

“The sky is visible…!”

The completely severed branches stopped growing.

And the 500-meter sapling, detached from its roots, began to lose balance and slowly topple over.

Through the gaps, the blue sky started to come in.

“Growl.”

‘It’s time to finish this.’

「Don’t. Be. Arrogant. I. Am. A. God!」

The World Tree, a symbol of Amaterasu, which grew all the way to the cosmos, had already been cut down at the beginning of the battle.

But still, the most formidable evil deity of Japan remained defiant.

“I. Am. The Sun God. Amaterasu!!”

Still hiding in the shadows, Shin-woo began to rush towards the Sun God like a madman, just as he had done before.

And the first thing he did upon reaching her, trampling all the stems that were trying to grow from the ground again, was:

“Kyokushin Karate – Basic Straight Punch.”

A straight punch that carved a large hole in her solar plexus.

Bang!

“It. Is. Useless.”

As her chest, which had been blown open, began to regenerate, Shin-woo raised his hand high and performed:

“Breaking 100 Roof Tiles!”

A hand blade strike that cut Amaterasu diagonally in two.

Squeak.

“It. Is. Useless!”

Even so, as roots sprouted from the cut parts and reconnected her body, Shin-woo proceeded to:

“Kumite (組手)…”

“!?”

“Form of the Thrust (突きの型).”

From the preparation stance of the third strike form, he focused more power on the arm pulled further back.

To deliver a faster, stronger, and more powerful finishing blow!

He poured into it the level of ‘Kyokushin’ that could dislocate his shoulder.

“Karate Secret Technique (奧義).”

“You, you scoundrel!”

“Piercing Straight Punch.”

With all his strength, Shin-woo delivered a sincere and full-force Piercing Straight Punch.

That blow instantly obliterated the life force stored within Amaterasu’s body, which had been draining the Kitsune family for 2,200 years.

Crash!!

With a pleasant sound, the entire upper body of the evil deity was blown away, and beyond her back…

“Wow…”

“The, the sky…!”

The sky, literally without a single cloud, was split in two along with the atmosphere, revealing a clear blue sky.

“What is that…”

Almost all the hunter forces of Korea, who were barely supporting the 500-meter sapling, looked at the aftermath of the Piercing Straight Punch with disbelief in their eyes.

“Is this machine broken?”

“Why?”

“Well, I brought a portable danger meter just in case, but it seems like it’s broken.”

Researchers who brought high-performance radar for monsters to understand the situation inside the amusement park.

Among them, Hee-jeong Lee, who was in charge of the machine, frowned at the absurd readings on the machine.

“It suddenly showed the message ‘All Stats 17.’ It’s probably broken since it’s an old device.”

While the outside was noisy.

“…Ah.”

The body of Amaterasu, now just a corpse, began to slowly enter the body of Kurumi, who had summoned her.

A natural phenomenon seen when summoning beasts managed by Beast Hunters.

However, no one in the Kitsune family’s history had ever recorded reverse summoning Amaterasu in this manner.

In other words, Kurumi, who had successfully subdued the evil deity, could feel it now.

Thump! Thump!

Her cold heart, which could have stopped at any moment, was now regaining life and beating rapidly.

“Ah, ah! Ahhh!”

She didn’t have to die.

She would be alive even a year later.

With that realization, Kurumi hugged herself and began to cry.

And despite the significant strain from the battle, Shin-woo, whose body was in tatters, sighed in exhaustion. He turned away from the princess, who was overjoyed to be alive.

It was time to escape.

But at that moment.

With a sudden embrace.

“Thank you, Shin-woo.”

Princess Kurumi ran up behind Shin-woo, who was about to leap away, and hugged the monster without any prejudice.

He thought he would be hated forever due to the monster hunter’s debuff if his identity was revealed.

“Growl…”

“Really! Really… Thank you!”

Kurumi instead turned Shin-woo around to face her.

And now, without the blindfold she wore to avoid the world, she looked straight at the jet-black Han Shin-woo without any disgust.

Smooch.

“!?”

With all her heart.

Even if he was in the form of a monster now.

Kurumi kissed his lips as a sign of gratitude for saving her.

“Uh…”

“……”

“Was it… not good?”

Looking up at the jet-black monster, who gave no reaction, Kurumi blushed up to her ears and asked shyly.

But here, whatever he said would only sound like a ‘growl.’

Pat, pat.

Instead of answering, Shin-woo patted Kurumi’s head, who was waiting for his response.

Then, in preparation for the approaching hunters,

“Don’t, don’t move!”

“Chief, are you okay?!”

“Is that… the monster of Jamsil?”

As they entered the amusement park through the main gate, Shin-woo escaped through the hole he had punched in the park’s outer wall.
