Dungeon Hunter (던전사냥꾼)

Chapter 30: Abnormal Proliferation

The dungeon's 18th floor. The mountain zone that made up the habitat of the saber tigers.

There were more than 600 saber tigers around. The configuration of the group was different. Around 50 had formed a group in order to take over other areas.

And one of the saber tigers received the best evaluation and was called the boss. He led 100 saber tigers and succeeded in mating.

After sowing several seeds that didn't give birth successfully, he finally mated with an attractive female and received offspring. His offspring was born after three months of pregnancy. It was very healthy.

The problem was...the cub was a different colour. Ordinary saber tigers had brown fur, but this one was white. His entire body stood out as unusual.

Saber tigers were agile and skilled at snatching the enemy from the shadows. So the white colour was a sign of a leader.

The boss decided. It was a difficult birth and he was confident the group would follow his lead. He would use this opportunity to make other males yield. He put in strict measures and hunted the group of orcs.

The cub grew well. And after a few months passed, the boss found out that he was deluded.

This cub was unlike the usual saber tigers. It was true that a king of the saber tigers was born. But the king was a little too prominent. The degree of rebellion was enough that he even wanted to challenge the Dungeon Master.

The white saber tiger. Known as White. He reached an adult size in only a few months. And he already had dozens of saber tigers following him. Among there were newcomers who had just been born.

After White was born, the reproduction rate greatly increased. Their numbers reached 300. Of course, they had to become fully grown in order to fight. White showed the most extraordinary performances in the fierce battles.

But...White didn't feel any exhilaration. This much was natural considering his position. He had separate complaints.

First, he had high intelligence. It was enough to feel a difference with the others. He was also much stronger and agile. There were only five adults that were possible rivals for him. This difference became larger over time.

He didn't just want to dominate this floor. White thought this floor was too narrow for the saber tigers.

Yes, it was cramped. He wanted to leave this floor.

But the adults stopped him. They said absolutely not. The Dungeon Master couldn't be disobeyed. If he stood before the Dungeon Master then he would instinctively follow.

Nonsense. He was a king. A symbol of freedom. No one could oppress him.

Grwaaang!

White howled.

He gathered those that belonged to his group. This was his first priority. The true king of the saber tigers would leave this floor. He would widen his forces and even become the master of this dungeon.

White of the saber tigers proclaimed himself as the true king of this place. The numbers in his group gradually increased. White showed an overwhelming strength that made others submit to him. He managed to get his paws on half of the saber tigers when something happened.

A bump. An existence similar to himself.

That black bastard! An unusual black saber tiger was born around this time.

Before he knew it, Black increased his forces to a similar level. That guy was also strong. He admitted it.

But there couldn't be two kings. It was inevitable that they would bump into each other.
