September 11, 1987

While I was working in the barn The village chief opened the barn door and told me that someone wanted to talk to me. There were three of them walking into the barn. They carried a lot of burdens with them. So I said two miles west there is a resting place. You can leave your luggage there and then come here.

I know what you came for.

“It's okay, this baggage is necessary to find that thing.” A tall man said in a calm voice. His name was Alexey, he was Russian. As for the other two, Samuel and Kim, they didn't seem like locals who were experts in this area. In fact, if you don't count Alexei.

And those two people shouldn't be Russian. Those guys had just punted all the way here to kill a single bear?

It's considered smart to still have the spirit and determination to work. Now, tell me, four days ago, what happened?

Samuel asked the young man while Kim closed the barn door so as not to disturb anyone.

OK...I'll tell you...everything.

That day, five hunters and I walked into the forest north of the village to hunt a giant bear. that killed a large number of people Each one of them was an experienced hunter and a native of this area, so I trusted to go with them. When he walked into the forest for a while, he found large footprints. Three times larger than a normal bear.

When I first saw those footprints, I started to feel nervous. But the hunters were glad because they thought The bear they were about to hunt must have been a challenge to them. Following the trail until late at night, they decided to take a break in the middle of the forest, light a bonfire, and prepare to build temporary scaffolding to observe the time.

After everything has been prepared They sat and talked and laughed. It was as if this forest was just a playground for them. As for me, I went to sleep in the tent. But then while I was about to sleep There was the sound of gunfire coming from the hunters. nine to ten shots loud The sound of the gunfire was so loud that I had to cover my ears and close my eyes in fear.

But after the sound of the gun was silent for a few seconds, a hunter ran to my tent but didn't open the tent and just told me, Don't just come out. Stay in there, kid.

While I was still conscious, I listened to what he said. I curled up in my tent in fear. As the next gun rang out and a very loud bear roar sounded. Accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps rushing towards you. The hunters started firing more guns and said that this thing couldn't kill, it wasn't a bear. During the loud sound of gunfire,

Footsteps and roars came towards the tent where we were. I heard the screams of the hunter, who slowly tore at the flesh one by one without even injuring them. After the screams quieted down I was in a state of near unconsciousness and unzipped the tent to see the situation outside.

But after I opened it and looked The pictures I saw made me fool myself until today that it wasn't real. The hunters were also crushed. That bear's skill I don't know if I should call it a bear or not. A person who is headless Another person was stepped on by its paw. The upper part of the body was mangled, only the body remaining. As for the remaining people…the remaining people…

Deceiving myself was no longer effective, and the tears that were stored in my heart were about to flow because of the cruel truth, but Kim suddenly covered my mouth with her hand and gently told me, “That's enough. We're enough. I'll know the rest of the details."

As soon as he finished listening to my words They opened the barn door and walked away. I asked them what they would do next after listening to this story. Are you going to hunt it!? Even though you may not believe But it's not a bear. Please believe me, I don't want anyone to fall prey to them again. Alexei stopped walking as the other two made their way towards the forest. He walked towards me.

He put his large hand on my shoulder and said to me, “We know it's not a bear. We know what we are fighting against. And more importantly, this isn't the first time we've encountered those beasts, rest assured.” I don't know if what Alexei said was true. But from the look in his eyes and his words, I could firmly believe that the three of them had come to take down this vicious demon.

While my fear still lingers in my heart I told Mr. Alexey that I was able to lead the way to the camp where the incident took place. At first, Mr. Alexei didn't seem to take it. But I said it with courage. I don't want them to die in vain. I just want you guys to find him quickly and kill him so he doesn't do it to anyone else again!

After I finished speaking, Alexei sighed heavily before telling me that he could lead them to the crime scene. I don't know what I was thinking at that time. I decided to go back into that nightmare again. But my subconscious had courage. Courage is not fearlessness. Therefore, I would like to use this courage to lead them to that beast.

After leading them a short distance, they reached the entrance to the forest. The terrifying screams and roars from four days ago returned again. But I mustered up my courage and led them all the way to the hunters' camp that had been attacked. But I didn't want to see their lifeless bodies again, so I stood at the front entrance of the camp and let them in.

“It's been four days now and there haven't been any wolves eating up these corpses? After all, that beast didn't eat them?”

“In this case there are two possibilities. The first is that it killed all the animals in this area. Or they are third level people. It was such a level that no animal dared to interfere in its area. Except for humans.”

“Home, Samuel. Third level monster We haven't seen each other in Russia for two years. I really want to know what it is.”

“Judging from the footprints and the desperate attack that was intended to kill, They're probably brainless. There is only strength and no intelligence.”

“That is Kim, a level three beast with enormous strength. Using intuition more than brains, um… Rugaru, of course, don't eat flesh, but eat spirits.”

“Dammit, Rugaru is serious. Can't you just cut off the head and take it to the center?”

“Hahaha, sorry Samuel. You must have taken his stomach with you.”

“Rugaru, so um…I haven't seen you in three years.”

Immediately I heard them talking. By the time I finished, my brain could barely process it, “Huh!? What is Rugaru? So what is this soul eater? What are they talking about?” My fear was crushed by curiosity. I walked into the camp full of cold corpses and asked them what you were talking about.

But they just smiled and followed in his footsteps. I had to follow them too. Because I am very familiar with this area.

It didn't take long for me and them to track him down to the middle of the forest along with the luggage they had brought. Even if you look at it a lot, you feel tired instead. But they carried each other without any problems. To the west was a hill high enough to be able to see everything around the forest. They had me walk up to the top of the hill to observe.

along with handing me binoculars As for them, they prepared things downstairs. They opened the baggage. Out of curiosity, I would like to observe the surroundings. I took the binoculars and looked at them to see what they were doing. Alexey took out three long-handled sticks.

He gave one each to Samuel and Kim, but when they looked closely, the pieces of wood were strangely shaped. I looked at it for a moment and realized that That thing is not a piece of wood. But it is similar to some kind of iron rod. Alexey's is a long iron rod with a long handle on both the left and right sides and an ax handle that, if you look at it, it's definitely not an ax for cutting wood.

Its shape is not an ordinary axe. A normal ax has a curved shape. But Alexey's ax was sharpened in a triangular shape. It was a very strange shape. Samuel's Iron Rod It is shaped like a normal long sword. Nothing special. Kim's bottom part resembles an oriental sword scabbard. The top has a pointed tip.

Just like a sewing needle, there's nothing wrong with it. At that time, my head was full of questions: “Why? Why use those things? Even a gun can't do anything. What the heck is that damn melee weapon capable of doing? They would all be killed before they could even reach it.”

Then they brought out a set of clothes. No, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was armor. From a group of ordinary hunters But now I see The idiots wore armor that looked like it could protect them from that guy. Alexei went from being bigger after wearing that crazy outfit that made him look bigger than before.

The suit had the appearance of a leather suit with steel plates on the shoulders, chest, abdomen, forearms, palms, and on the bottom, there were steel plates on the calves and legs. But Kim and Samuel's outfits It looks different from Alexey's.

Kim's outfit had long sleeves that went up to the palm of the hand but were large enough not to pinch her arms. It's trousers. There is no steel covering at all. Samuel's shirt is long-sleeved. He had a metal plate attached to his chest that was shaped like a trapezoid and wore a scarf. After they finished putting those clothes on top of his original clothes.

They picked up a glass vial and a syringe. Inside the glass bottle, there was a black liquid in it.

Alexei took the black liquid from the glass bottle and put it into the three syringes. But the point is that the syringe has a fortified appearance. Probably to be able to hold a lot of that liquid. Then he took one copy each to Samuel and Kim. They put the needle in a leather pouch attached to their shirt around their belt.

It seems like these shirts look like…um…uniforms?

At that moment, the question in my heart still remained unanswered. A familiar roar sounded from the forest to the north. I pointed the telescope in that direction and saw the snow drifts approaching quickly. Even though I can't see it clearly. But it was big enough to crash into a fallen tree. I gathered my composure and said to the three of them, “

It is two hundred meters north and is moving towards us.” After shouting, Alexey shouted at me to come down from the hill. I immediately slid down as the sound of large footsteps began to get closer and closer. After I landed at the foot of the hill, Alexey told me to run away.

At that time, I was in shock and couldn't do anything. The consciousness that had been controlling him all this time had slipped away and could not be recovered now. Alexei suddenly turned towards the direction of the sound. With that he took out the syringe.

“Did you come to the place? Thank you so I don't have to look for it.”

“Be careful. Don't be careless.”

After the conversation ended, the three of them picked up syringes filled with black liquid and injected them into their throats at the same time. I was stunned. What were they injecting into their bodies? What the hell happened? Suspicion mixed with fear mixed with the sound of the footsteps stopping. The figure of the demon appeared in the corridor. Along with making an eerie cry

This time there was no more snow covering it, making its body clearly visible. It had sharp teeth and long front canines, clearly resembling a saber-toothed tiger. Its eyes were glowing green and it walked on four furry legs like a bear. But its size was not even close to that of a bear.

It's three, if not four times bigger. I stood trembling, wanting to run for my life but I couldn't. It was as if my legs were now bound, but what was holding my legs was nothing but the deepest fear in my heart.

The three of them began breathing more heavily after injecting the black liquid. They were dizzy, as if they were about to pass out. But it faded in a few seconds.

“Run away.”

“I….I can't move.”

“Run…go!!!”

Alexei's voice seemed to completely change from a firm voice to a hoarse one. like the voice of the devil His eyes had enlarged arteries covering his black eyes. The veins in his palm began to bulge in preparation for fighting that Rugaru. Suddenly my legs couldn't stand still any longer.

I gathered all my strength and ran out of there. I ran as hard as I could until I almost died. But I stumbled and fell down on a tree stump. At that time, I had no consciousness left, my legs couldn't stand, I could only crawl away and cry out in fear. I turned to look at them and when I could still remember they used their right hands to make some kind of hand sign.

Suddenly, their eyes glowed. The strangely shaped ax now had its sharp edge shrouded in white light. The long sword, which looked like a knife from the Knights' era, was also shrouded in white light at the sharp edge. As for the weapon that looked like a needle, it seemed to have the same characteristics as before, nothing had changed from before. Afterwards, they rushed towards the Rugaru as if the weapons they used would be able to kill him.

After getting within attack range, Rugaru raised her hand and slammed Samuel. But he was able to dodge attacks that would cause him to die quickly if he missed. Samuel then extended one hand while the other gripped his sword tightly. He made some kind of hand gesture. Then, a loud explosion sounded throughout the forest. That sound made Rukaru stagger and you were confused by the sound of the explosion.

Kim ran to its side and stuck a needle-like thing into the animal's ribs. As it screamed in pain mixed with anger, it tried to attack Kim, but Alexei and Sa. Muel kept attacking Rugaru. No matter how it attacked, they quickly dodged its attacks.

The Rugaru became crazy and devoted everything to killing them. The Rugaro lunged at Alexei, opening its wide maw, ready to rip him to shreds. But instead of dodging the attack, Alexei cocked his ax and prepared for a counter attack. As it approached, he slammed his ax down hard on the Rugaru's nose, but it didn't stop moving immediately.

It bit hard at Alexei. If he were a normal person, his body would probably be crushed, but he could withstand the Rugaru's attack. Immediately, Kim and Samuel rushed to help. Kim used a needle to stab both sides of Rugaru's jaw. Meanwhile, Samuel attacked the animal's left hind leg, causing it to break. Alexei's jaw opened wide.

Alexei was released from the Rugaro's jaw. He appeared uninjured from the outside. At that moment, Kim lunged and stabbed Rugaru's chest and rolled away before being hit by a counter attack. The Rugaro began to roar loudly again, but it was no longer a frightening sound.

The Rugaro didn't want to fight and started looking for a way to escape, not paying attention to Samuel who was on his back ready to kill him at any time.

“Samuel, come down, I'm going to burn it!!” Kim shouted to Samuel. I am quite confused by the incident. Burning? They were so far apart that even if it were an arrow, they wouldn't even be able to hit it. How could he think of being able to burn it from such a great distance? After the doubt in his heart stopped Samuel drew his sword and struck the creature's spine, but it was moving too fast to be able to balance on its back.

Even though it had three legs left, its speed was almost the same as before. Samuel rolled down from behind it, but after Samuel fell, Kim made some hand gestures after finishing. As the Rugaro ran at speed, fire shot out from the wound where Kim had stabbed the needle. Its jaws, chest, and ribcage were blazing with fire as if it were being consumed from within.

The Rugaru stopped moving and fell down. The snow spread everywhere but in a short time the Rugaru's lifeless body was revealed. The flames that shot out from him gradually decreased until they disappeared. Samuel, who was not far from the body, walked over to it to check if it was completely dead.

When he made sure that his breath was gone, Samuel drew his sword and slashed at the animal's head, the fur was severed and red blood splattered everywhere. Kim then approached the Rugaroo's lifeless body and took a knife and cut open its belly. The knife seemed to be an ordinary knife, but it had some type of characters engraved on it. Kim used his bare hands to reach into Rugaru's intestines. It looked absolutely disgusting. Then he took out its innards. From the looks of it, it was probably Rugaru's intestines when Kim used it. Cut it open with a knife.

In its stomach, it instead contains pieces of various animals that it has eaten but never It had a green glow in its stomach. It's not ordinary light, even though it cuts through the skull, those lights don't go anywhere and remain in the skull as before.

“Eighteen, no, twenty. This thing eats like crazy and many people have been killed by it. If only we had come sooner.”

“Don't blame yourself, Kim. We've come as fast as we can. We haven't had much time to rest since the basilisk hunt in Eden Forest.”

“Huh, it's true what you said. On the bright side, if we come later, the number of people he killed might double.”

Kim and Samuel talk. It was as if these things were normal things that happened in their daily lives.

“Alright everyone, let's wrap up work and get out of this situation.”

"wait a minute! Calm down Alexei, I haven't cleansed their souls yet.”

“Um…okay, hurry up and do it.”

After Alexey's voice Kim then picked up a knife with characters on it and stuck it into the ground before reciting something resembling a Latin prayer. After the chanting stopped, he put the knife in his bag and put it back in the bag. The green light in Rugaru's stomach disappeared. After that, the three of them closed their eyes. The place, which was filled with the sounds of explosions and the Roogaru's roars, was as quiet as a cemetery.

After a while, they began to breathe again, their breathing coming heavily as if they were enduring an enormous amount of pain that could not be screamed out. But the sound of that breathing quickly faded. I am very confused by the incident. Who exactly are they? How was it that they were able to kill a monster four times the size of a bear and twice as fast as a bear without getting hurt at all?

“Hey kid, I told you to run away, why are you still here? If we lose, you will die too. Why don't you listen to what is said?"

While the questions in my head were still kept Alexei ran up to me and spoke to me in the same normal tone. There was no longer a hoarse voice resembling a demon. The eyes look brighter, the blood vessels are no longer swollen. It was as if they had now become normal humans.

“Sorry! It's me..”

“Oh, it's okay. It's okay now.”

“Thank you for saving my life.”

“Um, that's fine. But you saw everything.”

"yes"

“Alright, kid. You can go home now. Go tell the people in the village that the bear is dead. There is no need to worry any more.”

“D..Okay, I'll go quickly!”

"wait a minute!!"

Mr. Samuel's voice made me stop as I was running.

“Is there something wrong!?”

“This one is just a bear. Not a demon or monster at all. Don't tell anyone about this matter, we understand the same thing.”

"yes! If anyone asks, I'll say it's a bear!”

As soon as I finished speaking, Kim dragged the Rugaru's head towards the hill. Open the box that was big enough to hold the entire head of that Rugaru. and then put that head in

As I looked at them, Alexei smiled and waved goodbye. As for the doubt in my head, I couldn't contain it any longer. So he shouted and asked at the top of his voice, “Who exactly are you?!”

“Hunters, we are only hunters.” The answers that came out of their mouths made me stand stunned for a while. But at that time I was in a state where I couldn't ask any more questions so I said goodbye before walking away without looking at them.

"Mr. Huntsman"

“They are just hunters.”
