She moved fast—faster than most could see—vanishing between groups of monsters and reappearing mid-swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tusked beast lunged. She ducked low, flames lacing her elbow, and drove it straight into its jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head snapped sideways with a burst of bone and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another tried to flank her. She spun, crouched, then launched a brutal uppercut that split the creature apart from the inside—black fire devouring its chest before it even hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The field around her was littered with scorched corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, more came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy clenched her fist, breathing slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch. Annoying little bastards...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a gust blew through the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy. Not from wings. Not from impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy’s brow twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...That smell. Shit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the air warped—like space itself was irritated. And from the eastern ridge, they appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six figures walked calmly through the battlefield like it was their backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled under their steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And leading them—Eron Thorne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked with that same funeral-like grace, red coat brushing over monster guts like silk over water. Not a spot of blood on him. Not a crack in his expression. His empty eyes scanned the carnage like it bored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy’s flames flared brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, well. If it isn’t the world’s most punchable face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eron’s steps didn’t stop. He paused only when he was a few meters from her, hands behind his back like a noble with too much time and too little soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lucy Black,\" he said with faint distaste. \"Still playing with fire, I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy cracked her knuckles. \"Still talking like someone asked you to speak, I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the hunters behind Eron flinched, but Eron raised a hand without looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let her bark,\" he said quietly. \"She’s loud, not dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy’s smile vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black flames around her surged upward, spiraling like a dark halo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep running that mouth and I’ll show you where to shove your noble coat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eron tilted his head, then gave a half-smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such sharp words for someone who hasn’t even buried her parents yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground cracked under Lucy’s step. She moved—fast—closing the distance between them in an instant, fist cocked back, flames hissing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a hand caught her wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood between them now, tall, armor slightly scuffed, expression tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you two not kill each other for one day?\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy pulled her arm back. \"Tell your brother to shut the hell up first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’d love to,\" Garos muttered, glancing at Eron, \"but that man’s been impossible since the womb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eron raised a brow. \"Always the peacemaker, Garos. You’d be more useful if you picked a side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am picking a side,\" Garos said. \"The one where the world doesn’t implode because you’re both obsessed with being right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy scoffed but turned away, black flames cooling a bit around her shoulders. \"Whatever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos exhaled and faced the other hunters nearby, who were either stunned or trying to pretend they didn’t hear anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clear the dead. Set up healing zones. We hold this point,\" he barked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena landed a moment later—light shoes touching the earth like a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t say anything at first. Just stared at the bodies. The smell. The monsters twitching in the distance. Then her eyes moved to Lucy, then to Eron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos glanced at her. \"Took you long enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Had to shut down a gate near the southern plateau. Don’t complain.\" Athena crossed her arms, nodding toward Lucy and Eron. \"They already at it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like fire and oil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eron clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t start fights. I end them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy rolled her eyes. \"You couldn’t end a wet dream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before another insult could drop, the sky shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subtle. But real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not from the sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air parted like silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a man stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tall. Handsome. Eyes glowing faintly with something not quite human. His hair swayed with the wind, clothes untouched by dirt or blood. His smile?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo,\" he said, waving lazily with one hand. \"Humans throwing a party without me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every hunter turned, tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weapons half-raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man didn’t react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around slowly, like he was admiring scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his gaze met Athena’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena’s eyes widened just slightly. \"...You.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos looked between them. \"You know him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena didn’t answer immediately.

This many SSS-ranks in one place? I must’ve hit the jackpot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos stepped forward. \"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl tilted his head. \"Does it matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eron narrowed his eyes. \"You’re not registered.

You noticed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without warning, one of the Thorne hunters rushed forward, blade drawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You talk too much—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the man stopped mid-swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stopped moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>POP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body burst like a water balloon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood rained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl smiled through it like it was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eron’s expression shifted—slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...He’s not human,\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena stayed still, calm. \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl stepped forward, eyes landing on her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t answer me last time.
