“Hey, it’s f*cking real. This really works, doesn’t it?”

 

“A good harvest for the first time in a while. Let’s see… wow, isn’t that a Griffin?”

 

“We’ll get more Griffins later. But what’s that thing with it?”

 

The noise definitely belonged to humans.

 

Rough, loud voices that were harsh to the ear. I didn’t feel good. The calm sensation in my heart faded away, and it began to beat fast.

“What… Wait, isn’t that a woman in the corner? A human woman?”

“A banshee, she must have transformed. Oh, but banshees bring bad luck… “

“That’s because someone dies when that b*tch cries, you idiot. You’re just pretending to be smart at the end of the day.”

 

Without any hesitation, the people who came into the cave chatted with excitement.

 

Two men and one woman. They were all very suspicious, armed with odd-shaped equipment, and as excited as hunters who discovered wonderful game, rather than being frightened by the sight of Popo and Griffin.

 

I had a feeling I knew what they were– Poachers.

 

I had heard of poachers, who illegally hunt and collect monster cores by purchasing relics in the black market. They seemed to have been led into the forest after detecting magic with the relic they had.

“Hey, that’s a shame. Banshees are supposed to be dirty old witches, but this one is a beauty…”

 

“Let’s get this over with. I saw earlier that there were paladins all over the place, and if we get caught, we’re really screwed.”

 

I didn’t move a muscle. I hardly breathed. Popo and Griffin were strangely still.

 

The man holding a light blue shining sword approached Popo as if he was amazed. Popo’s mouth was tightly closed, hiding its teeth.

 

“I don’t think they’re coming here. The legend said that a giant lizard cub was asleep here… but what the f*ck is this? Rabbit or raccoon? What was the name of this thing? It looks so stupid.”

“Hey, let’s get this one first. The monster is pretending to be a human being.” The flaming red-haired woman gestured toward me.

 

At that moment, a man who was scratching his stomach turned toward me, smacking his lips.

 

“Ku, ku, ku, ku…”

 

Griffin let out a sound of laughter. To be exact, it was more of a low, bizarre cry, but to my ears, it sounded like a laugh. And… Popo opened its mouth. Popo’s wide-open mouth enlarged throughout its huge body, revealing a space full of eerily beautiful sharp teeth and skeletons.

 

I didn’t make any noise until the end.

The sky seemed to be getting darker and darker, and the heavy rain began to pour. The sky-high trees didn’t help much either.

 

“Lord Izek.”

 

Someone put out a cigarette of leaves. Izek shook his head as a gesture of rejection and looked at Durahan’s corpse at his feet. It was the monster he’d caught a while ago. Only the remaining monster core and the severed head rolled around at his feet.
