Chapter 42: Warning

Alex brought the corpse back to the camp for the admiral to go over and butcher since subspecies parts were always in high demand. it only took the man a quick look to notice how alex killed the thing but he wasn't surprised. alex had always shown his intelligent way of hunting so it was not unbelievable that he would use such a method to keep the body intact for study. considering the first wave of researchers was likely to pass through into the area within a day or so it would be in excellent condition to study at that time.

Alex didn't mind hunting an extra creature for a day or two before eating the rathalos's corpse as the researchers looked it over. monsters rotted very slowly in this world so waiting a day or two with the corpse in the camp wouldn't effect the meat at all. not that it would have been a problem for alex if it did rot normally since he had the stomach boosted by the A virus. alex simple brought back a lavasioth later that the admiral dismantled while nabbing a bit of meat for himself , not that alex minded all that much.

Much like in the game a deviljho also started to show up along with the various tracks of the elder dragons. alex was very interested in deviljho since it was the only monster that acted in a similar manner to alex in hunting whatever was available. he knew that the behavior of the deviljho was actually because of it's failed evolution into what it was today. alex theorized that the species was on the verge of evolving into a new type of elder dragon in the past but something went wrong causing the species to become stronger at the cost of it's relentless hunger.

It was about halfway into the elder dragon hunt that the first deviljho showed up in the ancient forest and alex was there waiting. alex confronted it before it could put alcina in danger however by slamming into it's side from above knocking it over. alcina freaked out as she hadn't even realized the thing was nearby when the beast was struck by alex. he made a "leave now" motion while the deviljho struggled to right itself angrily huffing out dragon smoke. alex slammed his tail into the beast throat but the spike was stopped by the thick skin and muscles. 

This was fine though as alex sent a bolt of lightning through his tail making the beast spasm uncontrollably. the disadvantage of such a huge amount of muscles without a resistance to electricity was shown as the deviljho thrashed around damaging itself in the process. alex slashed the deviljho across the throat with his metal coated claws tearing out a deep gouge. the beast was helpless to stop alex as he ripped out chunks of flesh from it's throat while carefully avoiding it's jaws.

In the end alex killed the deviljho from a heart attack as it's heart didn't have enough blood to pump after it bled out making it seize up and stop entirely. the trip back to astera with the corpse was fairly normal and the corpse was identified as indeed a deviljho by the researchers before being dismantled. alex did not enjoy eating the deviljho as the meat was stupidly chewy and hard to break down. it tasted a bit like bison meat to alex but even the fact it gave as many points as the low rank kirin didn't convince him to hunt another one.

As he was eating however the second fleet master had shown up to bother alex about his metal crafting. the brown man was completely fearless apparently as he wasted no time tapping and running a file over the metal on alex while he was eating. the man was like a kid in a candy store about the high quality material and refused to take no for an answer about getting some. alex growled a stern warning when the man began to brazenly pull on a metal coated scale trying to remove it. for added effect alex sent a weak but painful electric shock through the mans pliers making the man curse and let go.

The nearby fleet commander saw all of this happen and immediately rushed over to get the second fleet master away from alex who did not look happy at him at all. the message was received loud and clear to everyone watching that while alex was very patient with them he had limits that he would retaliate if you crossed. the first limit officially recorded was not to steal from him while trying to forcefully take one of his scales was now recorded as the second. no one blamed alex though because the second fleet master was essentially trying to rip out alex's "hair".
