Galaxy glanced at Ae-yeon. Her head and clothes were in a mess due to the wind and rain. Whether she had trampled on it with her shoes or not, her cheeks were covered in mud.
“Do we have to kill that child? We just want our item back.”
“Didn’t you hear? She didn’t steal anything.”
“….”
Verde’s face twisted in disbelief. This woman doesn’t make sense.
Kwaaack.
The strength of the vine coiling around the wrist increased. The pressure was enough to twist the wrist bones.
“You’re not getting through to her.”
Seemingly sharing the same thought as Verde, Galaxy raised the opposite hand without changing her expression. And.
Whoosh─
A red flame erupted from the palm of her hand. Should have worn pants. That thought crossed Ae-yeon’s mind for a moment.
‘That’s enough.’
Galaxy clenched the air in her hand. Simultaneously, the vines coiling around her wrist turned into crispy ashes and scattered.
‘Nature type?’
Verde, who had been watching the scene, narrowed her eyes.
If awakened individuals chosen by humanity were considered special, awakened individuals with unique abilities in the nature type were treated even more exceptionally.
Nature types generally had infinitely diverse applications compared to ordinary abilities, and depending on the rank, they were evaluated to have the potential to subdue a gate in the blink of an eye.
“……. ”
“……. ”
Between the raindrops, Verde gazed at Galaxy. Galaxy did not avoid her gaze.
‘Is she planning to fight?’
It’s getting annoying. Even without knowing her rank or name, just being a nature type hunter is enough. Moreover, plants and fire. The compatibility is not good.
As Verde finished her brief thoughts and was about to give a subtle nod to her companion.
Thwip!
An arrow swiftly flew through the rain. However, unbelievably,
Thunk!
The woman caught the arrow flying towards her with her bare hands.
The arrow, which had flown energetically, helplessly snapped in two under Galaxy’s strength.
Along the finger-shaped trajectory, drops of blood fell. It wasn’t a significant injury; it had just grazed the arrowhead.
However,
‘This is bad.’
Ae-yeon bit her chapped lips. She knew it wasn’t an ordinary arrow.
Knowing that Galaxy possessed a unique natural ability, to them, ‘ability suppression’ would be the most rational judgment.
Blocker.
Indeed, his presence was the most troublesome. If he weren’t here, Ae-yeon wouldn’t have been cornered like this.
Swoosh─
Swift vine tendrils, not missing the opportunity, rushed towards Galaxy.
Galaxy, in turn, extended her palm towards the vines, but…
No flames came out. Galaxy, who paused, checked her own palm.
‘Caught you.’
Verde subtly raised the corner of her mouth.
The unique ability was a special power granted by the system. And the ability of the blocker was precisely ‘temporary system blocking.’
In other words, not only the unique ability but also the physical abilities granted by the system as an awakened hunter temporarily declined. It meant becoming a body no different from an ordinary person or an unawakened civilian.
However.
“……!”
Pop!
The woman leaped quickly, avoiding the vines. Her movements were so agile that it could hardly be said that she was affected by ‘Block.’
Like a cat.
‘What happened?’
Both Blocker and Ae-yeon were also puzzled by the unexpected turn of events.
“Carlos!”
Verde urgently shouted. Simultaneously, summoning dogs gathered like clouds.
Creak, thud! Thud!
As Galaxy, who had leaped into the air, landed, the summoned dogs closed in around her seamlessly.
The dogs, revealing their teeth as if ready to bite, lunged towards her. However.
Crack─!
The wide-swinging raincoat traced a round trajectory,
Crash…….
The summoning dogs fell weakly, like candles in the wind, accompanied by a dull sound.
It all happened in an instant.
“……. ”
Amidst the motionless summoning dogs, Galaxy raised her head smoothly.
When her golden-dyed iris met Verde’s gaze, Verde’s Adam’s apple moved significantly.
‘What’s this?’
Clearly, she had come into ‘contact’ with the arrows, and her abilities should have been blocked. However, the movement just now was simply…
‘Could it be a divine being?’
For those favored by divine beings, the Block ability didn’t work.
To be precise, it didn’t work ‘properly.’
Depending on the cultural region, hunters contracted with different types of gods, but there was a commonality among those sponsors, including the twelve zodiacs in the East and the twelve gods of Olympus in the West.
Whether it’s the twelve gods or the twelve zodiacs, they all desired to have more contractees, and among them, they selected only one divine being to favor.
A divine being is a being where a god and a soul are bound together. Since there was clearly a domain where even the system couldn’t intervene, blocking abilities was possible only in a very limited way.
‘But.’
As far as they knew, there was only one Korean hunter who was a divine being: Maestro.
The first hunter and the only divine being had long since changed his nationality to the United States, and there was currently no divine being among the hunters active in Korea, including S-ranks.
Even the famous Korean hunter Baek Ya, not to mention a divine being, was not.
Korea’s status was not high compared to other countries in the era of Grand Hunters, and that was the reason.
Then where did this woman pop up from? Perhaps she’s not Korean but Chinese?
Could the arrow have missed her? No, it definitely hit her.
While Verde was in confusion, Galaxy, who had leaped into the air, stood before them with a thud! sound. More precisely, she stood in front of the Blocker who had shot arrows at her.
Thud.
The broken arrow fell powerlessly to the ground from her grip. Blocker, who had been gazing at it, raised his head again.
The black pupils in the golden iris were vertically torn. An unknown liquid, whether rain or blood, fell from the black raincoat onto the ground.
Jebuk, she approached.
“Aren’t you going to apologize?”
Whirr─
The flames began to ignite again above both shoulders. It shook incessantly between the strong raindrops, never extinguishing enough to cover the sight.
Unknowingly, Blocker took a step back.
It was unbelievable.
Was she really a divine being? No, even if she were a divine being, Blocker’s blocking ability wouldn’t have been released so quickly.
Gazing at the distant flames, Blocker absently licked his chapped lips.
“Mo, monster…”
Yeah, a monster.
She felt like a monster inside the gate, or even more than that.
