Mekwoooooo!!!
A beast’s howl that could peel eardrums—majestic enough to make every hair stand on end. Yu Seha laughed. Not for any particular reason.
‘Even in that form, it still has that “m” sound, huh.’
The faint ‘muaa’ woven into the howl told him: this was his angelic, devilishly cute Meowi.
‘Pretty big.’
A quadrupedal beast roughly twenty meters long loomed—a perfect blend of wolf and cat with yellow eyes and layers of pulsing magical power in its fur.
Yu Seha instinctively realized this was precisely…
‘[The power of a demonic beast?]’
He closed the blaring
Then the [Demonic Nature beast Ma Hana] closed the distance at once and struck Yu Seha with razor-sharp claws.
Bam-!!!
―Muaakaaa!!!
A relentless barrage followed—a one-sided assault that cared nothing for friend or foe. Yu Seha silently absorbed the claws without flinching; with each hit, distinct marks were etched across the
They survived only because this place had been prepared for sealing; in a normal area, everything would have been smashed in a single blow.
‘…At this rate, it’s probably at the low end of S-rank.’
Even as one of his arms was torn off, Yu Seha calmly faced the [demonic nature beast Ma Hana]… Ah, that’s too long. Anyway, she’s big enough to be a royal bully, and royally cute. He decided to call her Big‑Meowi for short.
He analyzed her calmly. A calm yet intense power pulsed from each of her four claws.
When Yu Seha had been wrapped in the <Blood Cocoon>, that power had manifested unconsciously. He recognized it at a glance.
‘Is that ether or something?’
Just as Yu Seha nodded, Bam-!
A strike of a different order slammed into the ground, tearing flesh to rags—an arm crushed, facial skin ripped away—with no resistance and no scream.
“Yu Seha!”“S-sire!”
Ma Tae-han and Han Ara shouted, exchanging grim looks: it was undoubtedly the sign of resealing. Yu Seha raised a hand to indicate it was fine.
“B-but…”“It’s fine.”
He smiled faintly. In truth, it didn’t bother him—every injury regenerated, or rather was restored, beyond its prior state the instant it occurred, faster than an entire limb being blown off.
From now on, unilateral physical force alone could not cause Yu Seha major harm. Only things like the Sword Ghost’s Guiying Sword or the Demon King’s authority would inflict meaningful damage.
Pop-!
Even as his whole head was ripped off, Yu Seha laughed. Two eyes hung on the shattered head spinning through the air—then two eyes on a new head regenerating at the speed of light. With four eyes in total, he stared directly at Ma Hana.
‘Doing well.’
His intuition and senses were telling him that Ma Hana—Meowi, his precious favorite character—was slowly coming to her senses.
‘Maybe, about an hour…’
He figured he could use her as a punching bag until then.
‘Mua…?’
Ma Hana opened her eyes slowly and felt a strange, alien sensation filling her surroundings, as if she were submerged in a high-density liquid.
She understood quickly: this place was inside a [demonic beast], and because it had lost its mind, it was rampaging.
‘Mua…’
Ma Hana perceived the rage and anger vomiting from the [demonic beast]. When she closed her eyes, those emotions transformed into memories and flowed inward—a fragment trapped here for twenty years without knowing why. Its lament tore painfully at her chest.
“…”
Pity softened Ma Hana’s expression. She wasn’t oblivious to the feelings, but she couldn’t leave it like that.
Ma Hana took hold of the reins. Matching her will, she gathered the [demonic beast] into one and embraced it within her own body.
Since they had been one from the start, the power that flowed in met no resistance and soon matched Ma Hana’s mind, finding balance through imagery integration.
Ma Hana heard the
She opened her eyes slowly. The scenery captured on her retinas made her tilt her head.
―…Mkuang?
Mwang? Something’s strange. What had been such a vast place now felt shrunk, like a doghouse. The scent of blood hit her nose. What she saw before her…
“Meowi~”―…M…aa?
It was Yu Seha, covered in blood, regenerating his shredded arm.
Ma Hana froze like stone at her full size, huge eyes opening wide as saucers.
Yu Seha fully regenerated, placed a hand on Ma Hana’s broad nasal bridge, and smiled gently.
“You’re awake?”―…
Ma Hana trembled. There was no need to ask what had happened; the blood and flesh etched into the claws gave the answer. Tears began to pour from her eyes like marbles.
Yu Seha snickered and, as if to say “what are you crying about?”, hugged her muzzle.
“It’s okay.”
He touched Big‑Nyang’s body here and there, folding the sharp claws in and poking the massive jelly.
“Aigo~ even when you get big you’re still cute~”―Mekuaaa…
The cry was a bit scary, but he smiled. Now what should they do?
“Uh, Meowi, can you shrink?”
Big‑Meowi shook her head. Yu Seha asked the two people behind, but it was no use—of course it was Ma Hana’s original power, not anyone else’s.
Just as he worried what to do,
Flash-!
“Hm?”
The [SlaSla] he wore began to emit a brilliant light. Yu Seha reached into its pocket dimension and pulled out the Myth-grade artifact [Scale’s Bridle].
‘This is…’
He’d received it as a <Yulius> legacy after meeting conditions the day Ju Na-young kissed him, but he’d been disappointed: [Only <Summoner>-type classes can use it.]
Yu Seha had feverishly completed it, only to be told he couldn’t use it—apparently different from the GAL era.
‘Why is that thing suddenly shining?’
Just then the watching Yokai King offered advice.
‘Yeah, I guessed that too, but I can’t use it anyway, right?’
[‘Demon King’ says he actually hesitated to say this back then… and asks whether you really need to cling to that method any longer.]system_ebd
‘What do you mean?’
Eat it?
Yu Seha blinked, stunned for a moment, then shivered as if struck by lightning.
Right. That’s it.
‘Why didn’t I think of that?’
Yu Seha possessed the absolute authority [Complete Devour], a power that could devour anything, draw out the consumed thing’s performance and power to over a hundred percent, and adjust them as he desired.
‘I’ve been trapped by preconceived notions.’
Like Tang Seo-ran had used it, he’d thought he had to follow the same method—but there was no need.
‘All I need to do is forge my own path.’
He activated [Complete Devour] and swallowed [Scale’s Bridle] whole. Ignoring the astonished looks from Ma Tae-han and Han Ara, he analyzed, decomposed, and induced a transformation of the power that entered his source. It sublimated into the form he wanted, and the
“Wow…”
Yu Seha stood dumbfounded, mouth open. A Myth-grade artifact fused to a Myth-grade skill—extraordinary, and far more broken than he’d imagined.
The options were long and varied, but in short: he could serve targets, and some served targets could be classified as his retainers—and he could do a lot for them. It was a pinnacle option for a <Summoner>-type. The line about perfectly unlocking the potential of blood immediately brought Ju Yuri to mind.
‘Dragon Form…’
Originally, the power [Scale’s Bridle] held would have been its own option—Ju Na-young could probably do something similar with just that.
Yu Seha closed the
He explained everything to Ma Hana, who watched with bright, alert eyes. He intended to use [Contractor of All Things] to assist in controlling the skill and restore her to her original form.
“You okay, Meowi?”―Mua!
Ma Hana nodded. Yu Seha seized the new power and raised both hands; golden strands rippled along his palms and wrapped around Ma Hana’s body like a broad scarf.
Blazee-!!!
A burst of dazzling light. Ma Tae-han and Han Ara called their daughter’s name.
“Meowi!”“Hana!”
Yu Seha shouted too.
“Meowi!!!”
The light dimmed gradually as the demonic beast’s main body faded. The cluster of light slowly descended.
Yu Seha raised both hands, called out his signature ‘muaa~’, and imagined Ma Hana nestled in his arms. The Meowi that appeared was undoubtedly humanoid.
“…Huh?”
However, there was an unexpected variable.
“Huh!?”
Yu Seha was flustered—face flushed, a cold sweat breaking out. He embraced Ma Hana as she was tucked into his arms and tumbled backward with a thud-!
“U-uaaah?!”
‘…Mua?’
Ma Hana lazily opened her eyes at Yu Seha’s scream and smiled brightly at the exceedingly handsome face right in front of her. She sensed it had worked just as he intended.
Huh? Seha’s reaction was strangely off.
“U-uaa!? Uuaaah!?”“…Mua? Seha?”
When Ma Hana asked, she flinched and touched her neck—her voice had completely changed.
A slightly husky, naturally sensual tone… the so-called 100% noona voice.
“Mu, mua?”
She panicked as she looked over her body. Her chin-length bob had somehow grown long enough to reach her hips.
Her limbs were long enough to lightly slap Moon Bora and Ju Na-young’s cheeks.
Finally, she saw a chest so ample she thought, ‘Why are there two watermelons attached?’
She’d grown taller too—slightly shorter than Seha, around 180 cm. Way too big.
“Mu, mua… ah, no way!?”
Only then did Ma Hana realize: the humanoid form of the [demonic beast] she had subdued earlier—another possible form she would have naturally developed—had manifested. She now looked exactly like that.
In other words…
“Se, Seha!”
“Mu, Meowi!?”“I-I’ve turned into a noona!”
