The calm sea began to sway. The cool sea breeze became rough as if a typhoon was approaching, and the waves rose high and made a loud noise. It felt as if the sea itself had become noisy, like a crowd of people gathered on the beach.

“Everyone be quiet! Send the fast hunters out! We just have to hold on! The 3rd Division will take the lead! The 4th Division should prioritize the Construction Guild Hunters and the 3rd Division escorts who operate the altar!”

Seonhwa’s voice echoed loudly across the beach.

Even with my short experience as a hunter, I could see why my mother had made this choice.

The exit from the sinkhole is at the beginning of the climb up the mountain.

If you try to escape with hundreds of people and end up running into the boss, there will definitely be casualties.

In that case, it would be wiser to meet the boss on a beach with lots of water.

The 3rd division has many hunters who control water, and hunters who control water become stronger the more water there is around them.

In that moment, the tiger’s roar echoed through the space once again.

The howling sound heard from afar, it contained a fierce aura as if it were the expression of a king of beasts. Not only me, but everyone in the group held their breath and froze.

Then the boss began to appear from afar.

Even though it was clearly far away, I could tell that its size was unimaginably large. Its white fur with distinct black stripes and its eyes filled with dark emotions reminded me of the white tiger in mythology.

“I…is that a tiger?”

It was the words that came out of my mouth. I had encountered many large tigers in the annihilation battle. But this was not at that level. It was so huge that if it opened its mouth wide, it seemed like it could swallow all the people gathered here in one bite.

“Get up.”

It was then that a huge column of water rose from the sea. The column of water soon took the shape of a crude golem. Consisting of only an upper body, arms, and a head, the golem bent forward as if to protect us.

“Is it okay to make it this big? If it’s too big, it won’t be able to move properly.”

As the mother raised her head and muttered while looking at the golem, the third mother opened her mouth calmly next to her.

“Twenty minutes at most. That’s enough time for reinforcements to arrive. You cover too. I feel an ominous aura.”

“That’s strange. If a guy with such strong energy was hiding, there’s no way he wouldn’t have been discovered by now…”

“There are a number of possibilities. A boss that only spawns after a certain amount of time has passed since all other monsters died… … Or an ability to move through sinkholes like the Amazoness villains… … ”

“Amazoness… ”

My mother looked at me.

It seemed that the word Amazoness made Jiham Oppa come to mind.

“Danpung-ah. Is there any way to contact your son-in-law?”

“yes yes?”

“I thought that Jeong Seo-bang could tame even that monster. My son-in-law is used to that kind of thing.”

“Stop talking nonsense and brace yourself for the shock.”

Third, my mother scolded me in an irritated voice as if telling me to speak sense.

I think I might have tamed it if my brother was here. But I’ve never heard of a skill that can connect the inside and outside of a sinkhole.

But then, with a ringing sound, a sentence appeared before my eyes.

[ Tiring! ]

[Jung Ji-ham used the ‘Sex Telepathy’ skill. Would you like to connect telepathy?]

[ Y / N ]

“Three..sex telepathy?”

“What? Sex?”

“Ah… I think my brother used some kind of strange skill. Just wait a minute.”

If there’s anyone with such obscene and lewd skills, it’s probably none other than Jiham Oppa.

And if my brother already has a skill that can affect the inside of a sinkhole, such as a time stop skill, it is possible that he also has a skill like telepathy that connects the inside and the outside.

“Hello, Maple. Can you hear me?”

As soon as I pressed Y, I heard my brother speak.

This sound, which seemed to ring directly in my head, seemed to be inaudible to others around me.

“Ah, oh… oppa?”

“Are you in that sinkhole with the tiger in it?”

“Yes! A being presumed to be a boss monster has suddenly appeared and is currently in a standoff with the mothers!”

“Just hold on a little longer, in 5 minutes… … … .”

For a moment, as if telepathy had suddenly been cut off, my brother’s voice was no longer audible.

“What is it? Is it Jang Seo-bang?”

“Yes. I think they’re coming this way. They’ll be there in five minutes.”

“Hmm… … As expected from a son-in-law. I really did have a good son-in-law.”

At that moment, the third mother clicked her tongue as if she was displeased with the mother who was smiling contentedly.

“Do you really need to tell such a lie to raise morale? If the man doesn’t show up in five minutes, morale will be lowered even more. Lie moderately.”

“Well, I understand. Since you haven’t really felt our son-in-law’s abilities, you might think I’m lying.”

“Abilities? I know a lot about abilities. As for the ability to hide behind a woman and give orders, we saw it in the last battle of annihilation.”

“If you’re so jealous, why don’t you introduce me to a pretty and talented daughter like me? Oh, it won’t work out because I only have a son.”

“Huh… … ”

While we were chatting, a tiger suddenly came up to us.

The third mother punched the air as if venting her anger, and the golem followed suit and swung its fist at the tiger.

The tiger, which had been walking leisurely, swung its forelegs at the golem’s fist flying towards its face.

Front legs that slice through the air at a speed incomparable to that of a golem’s fist.

In an instant, the seawater splashed up and a shockwave that shook the ground spread out. Fortunately, the golem’s attack worked, and the tiger let out a loud roar and retreated.

“Ugh… … … . My… my whole head feels like it’s shaking…”

I covered my ears, endured the dizziness and fear, and my legs trembled.

But most people, like me, couldn’t stand the sound of crying and just collapsed on their seats. Some even crouched and trembled in fear.

“3rd Battalion! Focus on the altar skill! If the altar skill is released, we’ll all die!”

A skill that creates a temporary altar and gathers the power of numerous hunters into one person.

A golem created with such skill that it would be impossible for a single human to create it, just like the day before when his mother turned the southern region into a sea of fire in the sinkhole.

Even after being hit by that much golem, the tiger was still burning with the will to attack.

“Are there only two hunters who can fight properly? This is going to be tough even for 5 minutes.”

At that moment, I took out the bow that my mother had prepared in advance. It was an artifact that, although inferior to the altar-level skill, increased the user’s abilities several times more.

“Let’s just hold out until my son-in-law comes.”

“I told you to stop lying… ”

As the mother pulled the bowstring, an arrow of fire as thick as an adult’s forearm appeared.

As soon as the mother released the bowstring, the arrow flew straight towards the tiger’s eye, drawing a red trajectory.

But the tiger put out the flames just by opening its mouth wide and roaring.

The wall of water that had been unfolding in front of us to offset the shock of the sound also burst apart so abruptly.

“Swing your fist a little more. I’ll attack the square.”

I wanted to do something too.

I wanted to show off what I learned from Miho and Lime.

“Ugh… … My… body isn’t moving properly… ”

But my body was trembling with fear, completely against my will.

.

.

.

“The fifth one is really angry. I think he’s almost lost his mind.”

As soon as the bus entered the sinkhole, he frowned and muttered.

We were flying in the sky on Gold’s back, who had transformed into a dragon.

“Maybe I should have just come without wearing any clothes? It’s not too late, is it?”

“It looks like you’re holding up better than I thought.”

I clutched the bus’ chest tightly and looked down.

In the distance, off the coast, a tiger so large it could cover the entire shoreline was visible, roaring and swinging its arms.

The attack was parried by a golem-like creature rising from the sea, and the moment the tiger was pushed back, a red arrow flew towards the tiger from among the people gathered together.

“I’ll subdue you when I get there. Can you tame me right away?”

I shook my head at Gold’s voice ringing in my head.

“No. It’s hard right now because I don’t have a taming choker. Even if I had one, I doubt I could put it around the neck of such a large animal by myself… Can I just subdue it?”

“It’s possible.”

“… … . ”

I hugged the bus tightly and was lost in thought.

＇The surprise mission was clearly to save Baekho, not the Eden Guild people… …. No matter how you look at it, Baekho isn’t in danger, right?＇
