When Christian woke up from his stupor, he realized that he was tied with chains to a pole. he opened his eyes and it was James' gaze that greeted him. James removed his mask, revealing his wary face to Christian.Christian himself, in human form was at a disadvantage in this situation. He realized that he was no match for James, who had tremendous power.James deliberately tied Christian up because he thought that the monsters would provide a lot of information if captured alive. He also placed the tip of his sword on Christian's shoulder.Christian didn't show any fear on his face, instead he glared at James, "Did you think a chain would be enough to hold me? You stupid human!""Look who's tied up now? Your slurs have no effect on me!" James retorted.Christian tried to transform back into his mondter form, but James immediately thrust his sword into Christian's shoulder causing him to scream out loud. His legs thrashed, but there was nothing he could do because of the chains wrappe
Zen gripped Ethan's shirt tightly, then tried to hold his neck. However, Ethan was also quick to fight back, he pushed Zen away from him, but Ethan's shirt was pulled by Zen so that it was torn and left the tear in Zen's grasp. Ethan then immediately ran and held Mark.Zen did not give up so easily, he took a gun and shot Ethan in the back, so that the creature fell with Mark. Benjamin, who did not accept his friend being shot, shot back at Zen repeatedly, but Zen was very agile. He kept running and hiding behind a wall. Not a single bullet hit him.Benjamin ran towards Ethan and Mark while continuing to aim at Zen behind the wall. After getting close to them, Benjamin put two fingers on the vein on Ethan's neck. Despite being shot until he fell down, Ethan was still alive and his pulse was felt, while Mark fell silent in fear after witnessing the attack.Benjamin became annoyed and cursed, "Human asshole! Who the hell are you? Are you the perpetrator of so many murder cases lately?
The monsters were astonished at what had happened to their friend. There had never been a problem about eating human flesh before. They could still enjoy the slightly bitter meat and could also change their forms into those humans, except for the superhumans. Superhuman meat did not have any side effects. They just couldn't get information from the humans' bodies, so they can’t transform into them.However, James' flesh seemed to be different. The monsters' bodies seemed to reject James' flesh and blood. There was no match, so James' flesh and blood were regurgitated by the monsters.Seeing that one of his friends was injured, as well as two of his friends vomiting, the other two monsters came forward to attack James who was in an unfavorable condition. They both approached James and launched their punches. James tried to dodge a punch to his face, but couldn't avoid the other monster's punch that targeted his arm. James was knocked to the side, he felt his arm bone cracking. James' b
James stood up and shuffled towards the monster whose skull he had crushed. The beast was trembling, its nose leaked green blood, and its body transformed into an ordinary human. The change in his body shape was irregular. His skin repeatedly turned into scales and returned to human skin. The face itself was no longer perfectly shaped. There were so many dents and transformations in some parts that could not be controlled.James felt sick at the horror. He was sure the monster's brain must have been injured so badly that it couldn't control its body properly. James picked up a fairly large stone.James lifted the rock high using both hands. The monster glared using one eye because the other was out of place. James said, "Does it hurt? I'll end it quickly!"The monster gaped several times, trying to scream, but couldn't make any sound. James slammed the rock into the monster's face until it crushed its skull. The monster's body wriggled a few times and finally died limp.James then turn
Ethan and Benjamin cried out and cursed Zen for what he had done. Zen then killed the two monsters by slashing his scythe into their heads.Strange...the feeling felt by Zen was different from the previous monster slayings. His mind was blank and his hands were trembling. He noticed his hand holding the scythe. It was trembling.Zen then turned to Mark's corpse. His heart felt something stabbing. He felt like a big needle was in his heart. The man clutched his chest and looked down. He was familiar with this feeling. It was the same feeling as when he saw his parents killed by the monsters. That feeling was regret."No... it shouldn't be like this..."Killing children like Mark put a new wound in Zen's heart. He covered his eyes with the palms of his hands and looked up, "How stupid of me...when I just needed to catch him and bring him to NEST."The sound of sirens from police cars began to be heard in the distance. The reinforcements called for by Ben and Ethan began to arrive. Zen p
The monster didn't give up, he took the crowbar that was stuck in his friend's head, then he threw the crowbar like throwing a spear, targeting James. James could not dodge, behind James was Zen who was struggling to stand up. Finally, James caught the crowbar.The monster looked so surprised that a human could catch his throw. The human's hand should have been crushed immediately if he had done that. His red eyes bulged in surprise and he muttered, "No way..."Upon seeing James catch the crowbar, Zen became angry, "Why are you here? They're my prey! I told you to defeat the monster in that house! You'll lose access to HORNET if any monsters find out your identity!"James' own temples crinkled when Zen said that sentence. It was too late to tell him, because these monsters knew from the start.James looked at the monster in police armor in front of him. Its face gaped in astonishment as it continued to stare at James' hand that was holding a crowbar. James noticed the ugly face, he se
After Zen finished off the monster, he contacted Rico. He asked for a pickup for them. They couldn't move freely if their situation was like this. They moved away from the place and hid before the monsters came back. They hid a kilometer away from the place, near the sewer. It was the safest place from the monsters' sense of smell.Even though their wounds were bandaged and left no trace during the journey, they still struggled to control themselves. James and Zen didn't have enough preparation to deal with their wounds. They could only hide behind the stench of the sewer, in the dark, murky tunnel.James was still daydreaming and his vision was blank. He just looked at the flowing murky water without saying anything. Zen herself looked out several times because she was anxiously waiting for Rico's help to arrive."Rico will be here any minute. It's a shame to get hurt like this when you're only facing a few monsters," Zen said to open the conversation. Instead of responding, James r
Zen let out a long breath. His chest tightened again, knowing that there was another colleague who would bear the status of Uncovered. Zen firmly asked, "Tell me, James. Is it Mark's father who knows your identity? Is it because I left you with that monster that they know your identity?"Zen asked a series of questions. He was afraid that another human would die because of his carelessness. His eyes kept looking at James with worry. It was an attitude he was not used to showing to others. It seemed like the incident with Ryo Krugger had really traumatized Zen.James understood that those questions were Zen's fears from the past, so James tried to smile even though it was bitter. He said to Zen, "Calm down. It's not because of you. They already knew my identity even before I entered HORNET. I've been a fugitive from them since the beginning.""How so?" Zen was somewhat confused.James averted his eyes, not daring to look at Zen directly. Cautiously, James began to tell the story, "The
