Absolute Dweller

A high-level, rapidly reproducing, and queen-centered monster species.

Aside from the Giant Wasp Colony, there had been two other candidates.

But now, with only one slot remaining for a Subjugation Contract, a decision had to be made.

And there was one main reason why I chose the Giant Wasps over the others.

‘With this, we might be able to secure mobility.’

The difference before and after taming Kellikans had been massive.

Thanks to their mobility, we had been able to claim nuclear power plants across the country and establish forward bases.

Without them, we wouldn't have been able to push into Seoul so soon.

However—

‘There’s a limit to how many Kellikans I can tame using Subjugation Contracts.’

Back when the number of retainers was still small, this hadn't been an issue.

But now, with 85 retainers, I couldn't provide Kellikans for everyone.

Even now, the teams assigned to Gyeonggi Province were forced to travel on foot.

‘If we can use the wasps as mounts, not just the retainers but the entire hunting team could have mobility.’

I had experimented with providing motorcycles and bicycles, but nothing compared to flying.@@novelbin@@

‘For now...’

I turned to the now-docile Queen Wasp and gave a command.

[Do not attack humans.]

At that moment—

A huge wave of pheromones radiated from the Queen.

BZZZZZZZZZZ—

Immediately, the nearby wasps swarmed toward her like a storm cloud.

Even with Absolute Dweller’s Eye, I couldn't fully interpret the pheromonal signals, but it wasn’t hard to guess what was happening.

Just moments ago, these wasps had viciously attacked my retainers.

But now?

They had completely stopped.

‘Looks like my command has taken effect.’

So far, everything was going smoothly.

However, the change only applied to wasps that had been near the Queen.
