All the hunters came to a halt just before reaching the island, standing still on the frozen lake, as they heeded the caution given by the man in purple. Meanwhile, inside the island, Butterbell and Creambell were armed and ready for any potential confrontation. Finn stood by their side, poised to offer assistance in case the hunters decided to make a move. He even used appraisal on each one of them, and for the bald armored man, the screen displayed,
"Human
Threat Level – E
Description – They are one of the humanoid races, with the least lifespan. However, they are the most populous race. Renowned for their resilience, creativity, and insatiable ambition, members of this race do not possess any innate racial skills like the Pixies' seasonal camouflage or telepathic antennae.
Height – 6 feet"
When Finn used appraisal on the man in purple, the screen displayed,
"Unable to identify the race due to lack of visibility.
Threat Level – D
Height – 5 feet 8 inches"
Appraisal of the man in the green and white robe displayed all the details of a human except Threat Level – F and Height- 5 feet 6 inches. And finally, the appraisal of the giant holding the corpses of 2 White Akuma Bears on his shoulders displayed,
"Giant Human Hybrid
Threat Level – D
Description - They have the mixed traits of a human and a giant. Even though they are shorter than an average giant, they are very agile considering their huge body mass. Due to their giant lineage, they can lift 10 times more than their weight, and due to their human lineage, they have a more strategic mind.
Height – 11 feet"
Meanwhile, the hunters also noticed Finn and were taken aback by his unusual appearance. "Are you some kind of tormented soul, who died here?" asked the bald man, his curiosity piqued.
"My name is Finn Darkling of the Nightmare," Finn replied. However, the hunters couldn't hear him; they could only see his lips moving. The bald man requested, "You need to speak louder."
In a louder voice, Finn exclaimed, "MY NAME IS FINN DARKLING OF THE NIGHTMARE."
Still, the hunters were unable to hear him clearly. "I'm unable to hear you," the bald man stated and glanced at his team for confirmation. "Can you guys hear him?"
"No," replied the man in purple, and this was confirmed by the giant and the man in the green robe.
To ensure their response, Finn turned to the pixies and inquired, "Can you guys hear me?"
"Yes," confirmed Moonlight and Creambell.
Curious, Finn telepathically asked Manual, "Why can't the hunters hear me?"
"When you're in your apparition form, your voice can only be heard by those within the house's area," Manual explained.
Meanwhile, the bald man turned his attention to the pixies and inquired, "Hey, pixies, what is this tormented soul saying?"
Creambell, raising his voice to ensure they heard him, replied, "He's warning you to leave, or else he will kill you. Can't you see all the corpses of the water salamanders? He alone has killed them all."
After hearing Creambell's warning, Finn decided to play along. He contorted his face into a menacing expression, attempting to intimidate the hunters. However, instead of appearing fearsome, he came across as comical and bizarre to them. This unexpected sight prompted the hunters to burst into laughter. Witnessing their reaction, Finn dropped the menacing act, sighed, and muttered to himself, "I should've definitely taken some acting classes."
