appear in areas inhabited by humans, even a large country will suffer losses of a historic scale if they do not deal with them correctly. Smaller countries surviving the appearance of such monsters would be considered a miraculous event that would be remembered in history.

Monsters of these Ranks can only be found in A-class Dungeons or the legendary S-class Dungeons that are said to exist in the southern reaches of the Bahn Gaia continent and in the ruins of the Demon King's Palace.

The reward for defeating such monsters is a sum of money that the average adventurer cannot even imagine. Events commonly heard in legendary folk songs, such as the hero taking the princess's hand in marriage, are also possible.

Generally, things that can have a price put on them can be bought. The materials become ingredients for creating Upper-class and Legendary-class items.

Monsters of these Ranks are those that appear in legends. This includes superior Dragon races such as Storm Dragons, Arc Demons, Nightmare Krakens and the Familiar Spirits of gods.

There is no record of monsters of these Ranks being tamed by anyone other than the champion Nineroad.

Incidentally, the champion Bellwood is said to have defeated monsters of these Ranks with ease.

A hero among heroes or a someone who a superhuman would consider a superhuman would be needed to exterminate monsters of these Ranks. If such people are not present, one cannot be blamed for abandoning all hope in this world.

Such monsters would influence the fate of not only large nations, but entire continents.

Even a party of A-class adventurers could be wiped out by a monster of these Ranks. A party would become not only a legend but a myth if they defeated such a monster. A god's Familiar Spirit might even descend upon the world to invite them to join the gods.

The only one who has defeated such a monster on his own in recent times is the Amid Empire's S-class adventurer, the Thunderclap Schneider.

The materials that could be harvested from monsters of these Ranks would become ingredients to create Legendary-class and Mythical-class Magic Items. Whether they can actually be created is another problem entirely, however. Astronomical sums of money change hands in the trade of such materials, and it is natural for even unprocessed materials to be acknowledged as national treasures.

Monsters of these Ranks are those that appear in myths. This includes the weakest of evil gods, as well as Elder Dragons, true Colossi*, Beast Kings and Pure-breed Vampires.

TLN*: I translated this to Giant initially, then Titans came along. But it doesn't make sense for Titans to be smaller than Giants, so Giant/Giants -> Colossus/Colossi.

Of course, nobody in the history of Lambda has ever tamed such monsters.
