All of the surviving hunters gathered around Jin-Woo as Ju-Hee tried her hardest to heal him. They were all tired, but Jin-Woo looked the worst since he was the weakest out of them.

"Ju-Hee... it's okay now; you can stop..." Jin-Woo said, feeling more comfortable since the ice was no longer incasing his foot, and Ju-Hee had healed enough for him.

Ju-Hee paid him no mind and kept healing. "HANG IN THERE! I PROMISE I'LL HEAL YOU!"

"Geez, no need to yell, Ju-Hee, we are all next to you..." Magnus stopped because he saw a spurt of blood coming out of nowhere. Looking at his arm, 'Yup, it's not mine. Mine is still frozen. Then who...'

"Shit, Ju-Hee. You overdid it; your nose won't stop bleeding. *Lowkey kinda nasty, it's mixed with snot*" Magnus said, the last part was supposed to be unheard, but since Jin-Woo is next to him, he heard it.

Glaring at Magnus, he commanded. "Mag, don't be rude and help her. Check if she's okay."

*sigh* "Fine, but you do notice I'm missing an arm, right? Cant, you be nicer to me?" Magnus asked with his puppy eyes. "Fine, my bad. My head just hurts because of this overthinking that I'm doing." Jin-Woo explained; feeling bad, he kinda snapped at his puppy-like friend. Where was Magnus similar to a puppy? If anything, he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Except, this wolf wants to be railed by the sheep he is getting near to.

"Will she be okay?" The other female hunter asked.

"How terrible..." Mr.Kim mumbled.

"Well, at least she survived." Mr.Song said.

"Wow, that was an extremely insensitive comment, old man," Magnus said as he moved next to Ju-Hee. "Hey, hag, you okay?"

Ju-Hee just nodded while Mr.Song said, "Nice injury."

"Can it, old man. I know you wanted to feel young again and tried to copy me with my injury. Gosh, sometimes old people should just stay in their lanes." Magnus bit back, clearly annoyed, but couldn't do anything about it.

'What is he talking about? I literally got this injury first, so it's him who wanted to copy me... Wait, that's not important right now.' Poor Mr.Song, he went with Magnuss flow.

"Anyways, we started out with 18 people, and now there's only six left. Twelve fellow hunters died..." Mr.Kim said, trying to bring the group back to the main focus.

"And three are gravely injured. Jin-Woo is missing his leg, Magnus is missing his entire right arm, and I am missing my lower left arm." Mr.Song said as he looked at Mr.Kim.

"It's unfortunate that you lost your arm, but this is all because you made rash decisions as the party leader. Mr.Song... You just wait for your punishment." Mr.Kim said, trying to sound righteous.

"It would be an unfortunate event if you stopped being a man today. Since I seemed to remember you and your friend being the first to agree. Mr.Song isn't the one to blame. After all, we chose to come here. Didn't we, Mr.Kim?" Magnus had enough with this old man that only knows how to belittle and blame other people. He had swung his scythe down, but it missed its target since he only had his left hand. The target being Mr.Kim's old raggedy dick.

"Tch, cant even use the scythe; I might as well just shoot an icicle instead. That way, even if I miss it will shatter due to the frigid cold." Magnus said, mostly to himself, as he brought his dragon-covered left hand up and aimed it in between Mr.Kim's legs.

"Magnus, It's fine. He has a point." Mr.Song said as he brought Magnuss hand down. "Well, Mr.Song, it seems you have fooled me into thinking you had a backbone, seeing as you have ignored most of my comments." Magnus glared at Mr.Song. At the same time, the 'Lord' started to move again. But this time, towards the 'magical seal' that Mr.Song found earlier.
