SSS-Class Summoner

Chapter 7

Bounty Hunt (2)

Il-hyun looked tired as he walked through an empty alley.

If he gets lucky, he could get two or more ethers today, at once.

However, he could not find any of the four monsters yet.

Suddenly, a rat squeaked and ran out of the building next door.

It ran quickly and stopped near Il-hyun's feet.

He lifted the rat up and put it on his hand.

"How did you go? Was there nothing in that building?" he asked it.

The little mouse nodded vigorously.

Il-hyun sighed heavily.

He was searching through the buildings and streets with his summoned mouse.

He thought that with it, he could find the monster right away.

However, there were many high-rise apartments and many locked spaces, so it took more time than he thought.

"What... Still, it's better than going around alone," he murmured.

He quickly placed the mouse back in his pocket when he sensed someone was approaching.

There were two men who seemed to be Awakeners, running.

He listened to their conversation as they passed by.

"Where did they find it?"

"It was stuck in the library's underground warehouse. Ah, damn it. There are only three left now. I don't have any work these days; I was trying to take advantage of this opportunity."

"Ah... if you can catch even one of them, you get the bounty, and you get ether prices. Big..."

"Let's find one before it's too late!"

They rushed in the opposite direction.

After hearing their words, Il-hyun ran straight to the library.

A little more than ten people gathered in front of the library where Il-hyun was running to.

All were Awakeners, except for the two police officers who ran after hearing the news.

A man opened the library door and yelled, "Coming out!"

When the library front door opened, a man cried.

There were gasps from the crowd as a man and a woman in black coats dragged a monster body out.

It was an ugly monster. Blood was dripping behind it as it was dragged.

Balaks have dark scaly skins and long tails.

One of the men dragging it was swearing over the body.

"Cuck, it was eating one person."

The man couldn't help feeling strong hostility and resentment to a monster that ate an innocent civilian guard.

People gathered around it and buzzed with excitement and fear.

"Look at this guy!"

"It looks unique."

"The real thing is scarier than the photos, though."

Il-hyun blended into the crowd and evaluated the appearance of the monster.

He was surprised at himself because he didn't feel much while looking at it.

I don't find it scary at all. Is it because I am an Awakener?
