Chapter 28
“Kyaaah!”
Hoi-in collapsed, letting out a grotesque scream.
The man, impaled through the chest and pinned to a tree, soon dropped his head.
‘Ten down. Clear.’
After hunting the first Hoi-in, Dojae continued to take on the Hoi-ins that kept appearing.
One by one, two by two.
He hunted them swiftly before they could summon others.
And the more he hunted them, the more an odd feeling began to take hold of Dojae.
‘What is this queasy feeling?’
Was it because their appearance resembled humans?
Or was it because of their reactions?
The Hoi-in kept trying to talk to him.
It was the same with the Red Oaks.
Facing increasingly powerful opponents stirred up a strange feeling inside me.
After fighting only mindless creatures of grades 7 to 10 so far, battling beings capable of communication was confusing.
‘Are the other hunters fine?’
Attempts to coexist with monsters have been ongoing for a long time.
A few humans advocated respecting monsters’ right to life, and scholars sought to communicate with them.
But such people are treated as heretics.
Countless people have suffered harm and been wounded by monsters.
They have always shown unconditional hostility toward humans, and not a single monster has ever sought to interact with humans.
Ultimately, monsters are humanity’s primary enemy.
That’s why Dojae had always treated monsters as prey, but he felt something strange about the Hoiin who approached him.
And it wasn’t pity or guilt.
‘I want to kill them.’
