I don't understand why I finally accepted Eren's invitation to join him. On the one hand, I didn't want to know about other hunters' successes, but on the other hand, I had the same goal as them, which was to restore the balance between this world and Smoky Hollow.Eren and I parted ways when I refused his offer, but he gave me his business card anyway. And after thinking about it for a while, I finally contacted him and agreed to his offer."I just found five people, so with you we will be seven," Eren said as we walked through a deserted alley in the neighbourhood where we met.The neighbourhood was deserted, as most of the residents had fled the isolated area for safety. All the doors of the houses were closed as we walked."Are they all from Midtown?" I really wonder how many hunters there are in this town.Eren shook his head. "Only the two of us are from Wouland. The others are from different countries."I nodded. "Then, how did you find it?""The first day the Smoky Hollow Gate
Midtown is becoming increasingly chaotic. Now it wasn't just the southern districts that were on lockdown, but the neighbouring districts as well. The four of us drove to the place I was talking about. We kept our eyes on the road all the way.It was late and completely deserted. Even the buses, which used to run all night, were in the garage by 5pm. There were no more people on the streets."Eren! Stop! There's something strange over there!" Jovian, who was sitting next to Eren, pointed in one direction. Eren stopped the car and looked in the direction Jovian was pointing."What's wrong, Jo. I don't see anything."Just like Eren, I couldn't see anything either. It was so dark that our view was limited.Jovian chuckled and pointed in one direction again. "There's something behind that tree. And it doesn't seem to be a creature or a man."Hearing Jovian's words, I immediately sharpened my vision. "This person, why is he here?""Do you know, Leon?" I gasped as Kasto suddenly spoke to me
Behind the wall of a building, I could see the three men pointing their guns at the FROG. I could see that they fired several times at the giant frog.But before their bullets ran out, they couldn't destroy the frog. I could even see Jovian's angry face clearly.Something was strange here. Looking at the level of the frog as well as the weapon used when the person chased the giant frog, it should have been destroyed. But why was the giant frog not even injured?The frog jumped again and was able to cover several hundred metres in a single leap. His foot stepped directly on a house, causing it to collapse instantly. I saw it shoot out its huge tongue and hit a truck parked on the road, causing it to crash onto the road.Eren, Jovian, and Kasto ran over to the giant toad. Jovian's smug face was gone, replaced by one of annoyance at not being able to destroy the frog.I twisted my body and moved to the left side of the window so I could keep an eye on them. I continued to concentrate on
"Look! The news about FROG was on the national news." Kasto gave Eren his tablet when we had just arrived at the hospital parking lot.Eren took Kasto's tablet and watched the video Kasto showed him. "No one saw us, right? It'll be bad if someone finds out about us. Especially since we're using weapons that are banned in this country."Eren watched the video intently. His brow furrowed, while his eyes squinted occasionally to focus on the video in front of him."All clear! No camera will ever catch us as long as you stay close to me." Jovian said confidently. It was my turn to ask myself what he meant. What skills did he have that could not be caught on camera? It turns out that there are many amazing abilities that I don't know about.After making sure that none of their images had been recorded, Eren handed the tablet back to Kasto. Then he turned to me."Are you sure that this hospital is the beginning of all this?" Eren asked me in a serious tone."Actually, I'm not sure, but I no
After failing to find a way to repair the leaking gate, the three decided to return home while they searched for a way to resolve all of this.After the three had left, I returned to this place. My eyes remained fixed on the cracked barrier. According to Jovian, only hunters with magical abilities could overcome it."Newt, do you know where my wand is?"[Your wand is not in the inventory, Master]"Perhaps it was left where I fainted earlier?" I quickly turned and walked towards the special door. Arriving outside the hospital, I immediately took off my PPE and handed it to the security guard.Once outside, I immediately took my motorbike from the inventory. I rode the bike at high speed because I didn't want to lose my cane. Considering what Jovian had said, it would be dangerous if any bad guys found my stick.As the roads were very quiet, with hardly any vehicles passing by, I was able to reach the place in less than 10 minutes. However, I couldn't go straight into the area because a
I immediately ran towards the source of the noise. But I couldn't find anything, even though I'd surrounded the place. It seemed unlikely that Ian had travelled far."Newt, do you sense any human energy around here?"[No, Master]"Maybe he's far away by now." I shrugged, not wanting to think too much. Whether Ian lived or died was not my concern.I quickly returned to where my bike was. After picking up the dropped phone, I quickly got on the bike and rode off. I had found a mouse trail to get to this place.I turned off the engine and put the bike in inventory before walking into the area. It was just a footpath, rarely used, as almost everyone had a motorised vehicle.I walked slowly, looking left and right to make sure nobody saw me. It was completely deserted, like the rest of the neighbourhood. The people who still lived in the area must have been afraid to go out, especially at night.I walked for quite a while until I reached the spot where the fight had taken place earlier in
I frowned when I saw that the potion I had made was dark brown. "It's not working." A long sigh escaped my lips as the back of my hand wiped away the sweat dripping down my temples.I poured the liquid into the sink and washed the utensils I had used. Just as I was about to dry the utensils I had used, the sound of shouting came from the direction of the glass room.I quickly placed the jar next to the sink and rushed towards the glass room. There, I saw that the person I had brought last night was now standing. His hands were clenched into fists, and he seemed to be grinding his teeth.I looked at his changing eyes. Sometimes they were completely white, but sometimes they were normal like any other human."Has he turned into a zombie, Newt?"[I still feel human energy, Master]"So I can't kill him yet?" I sighed roughly, not knowing what to do with the human in front of me.Nothing changed, so I decided to try again to make a healing potion."Huft! I can't fail this time." I picked t
I felt that Eren was a trustworthy person, so I invited him into my potion room. I also showed him the person I found in the street that night."He has almost turned into a zombie, but he still has human energy. We can't kill him," Eren said when he saw the person in the jar for the first time. He stood for a long time with his eyes fixed on the person."Everything will be easier if he turns into a zombie," I said, standing next to him. I also folded my hands in front of me and played with my beard with one hand.Eren turned to me and nodded. "So, do you have any plans to bring him to your house?"I nodded once, then turned. "I plan to make a healing potion and try it on him. If it works, we can use it to heal the infected."As the number of infected people grew, the government eventually erected a razor fence around the area that had previously been sealed off by removing the uninfected.My hospital was one of the hospitals used to check people coming out of the area. If they hadn't
