He deliberately stomped the ground, turning sharply. His foot movement caused the filthy mud to splatter all around. Had Eun Ha not twisted her upper body lightly, she would have ended up with a face full of mud.

[Does the entire race of the ‘Cat that Wanders the Darkness,’ which was once a hunter, all lack manners like this? It whines at length.] [Why are you standing still, Sister? Show them what you’re made of! The angry cat’s breathing becomes rough.]

‘It’s fine.’

Eun Ha pulled her gaze from the vibrating message window.

What was there to gain from turning things upside down here? A triumphant feeling? She had never thirsted for such a thing.

Although it was only for the duration of a contract, Eun Ha wasn’t a lone hunter now. She was bearing the name of the Wolf guild. She knew very well that every one of her actions could turn into arrows against the Wolf guild, against Siwoo.

Throwing a fit out of momentary anger was something only children would do.

‘It’s actually good that I don’t have to deal with this nuisance.’

They said they would distribute a share to Eun Ha after the cleaning was done, even if she only stood at the back and watched, so there was nothing to be sorry about.

Eun Ha decided to leisurely observe their battle.

[Lv.32 ‘Predatory White Shark’ approaches with full force.] [Lv.26 ‘Ferocious Giant Jellyfish’ extends its venomous tentacles.]

Compared to the last time, the gate’s difficulty had increased, and as a result, the levels of the monsters appearing had significantly risen.

However, as if such things couldn’t pose a problem, they displayed skills incomparable to the hunters from last time.

While absently watching their battle, someone approached her.

“Hello, we meet again.”

A melancholy expression and a slender body. It was the Drank hunter and popular BJ ‘King God Soo.’

“Why are you here?”

He was part of the Roar guild. The guild that had won the bid for this gate was the Hwarang guild, not Roar, so why was he here?

Reading the question in Eun Ha’s eyes, King God Soo scratched his cheek and opened his mouth.

“Actually, when I heard you were coming to this gate, I managed to get a spot myself.”

“Why?”

“Why, you ask? I wanted to have another conversation with you.”

Eun Ha’s jetblack eyes scanned him. She didn’t feel any malice. Even the cat was calm.

Afterwards, King God Soo naturally began to walk in step with Eun Ha’s pace.
She knew well that she was talked about on the Internet, for better or worse, as a BJ active in the Kinggodsoo field.

But.

In that moment that the camera could not capture, he saw it clearly with his own eyes.

‘It wasn’t a daunted look.’

Like a predator in front of a herbivore, she stood in front of the monster like that. Even now she was.

Furthermore, she was a figure pushed by Siwoo as the next guild master of the Wolf.

Kinggodsoo, who had survived tenaciously in the notorious BJ world, responded sensitively to the scent that would benefit me in the future.

“Some people doubt that you’re spoonfeeding a cooked meal, but I don’t think so.”

Suddenly, walking alongside Eun Ha, he lowered his voice.

“You, an avatar?”

Although there was a question mark at the end of his words, his eyes were full of certainty.

A divine beast could have dozens, hundreds, or even more contractors, and gave them a part of its power.

But the ‘avatar’ was entirely different. The one who inherits not a part, but the whole power of the divine beast. It’s said that each divine beast can designate only one avatar.

The criteria for selecting an avatar varied from divine beast to divine beast, and there were far more divine beasts that had not chosen an avatar than those who had.

If you pass that difficult selection, it seems that the chosen subject as an ‘avatar’ would obtain tremendous power.

A representative case was China’s Sclass hunter, Wang Wei. He was the avatar of an Ox, and rumor has it he had the monstrous strength to lift a bus with one hand.

Among the hunters, there was even a joke that if he “manifested” he could probably move an airplane with his bare hands.

“The only way an Fclass hunter could kill a Lv.30 monster in one blow is that. The contract with a divine beast is not even displayed on the detector. Which of the 12 divine beasts’ avatar are you? A dragon? Or a tiger? Judging by the destructive power, it can’t be a rabbit or a sheep.”

Waiting for evaluation on his deduction, he looked at Eun Ha with expectant eyes.

“……I.”

The moment Eun Ha licked her lips, a desperate cry came from not far away.

“Hey, there are civilians here?!”

Civilians? Kinggodsoo, Eun Ha, and everyone turned their eyes to that place.

“……They must have been swept up in the gate.”

Eun Ha murmured lowly and turned her steps towards the place. Kinggodsoo’s question was never answered.

“Aren’t you coming?”

“Ah, ah……. I’ll come.”

Kinggodsoo stupidly scratched the back of his neck.

‘Was it my imagination?’
