As he distanced himself from the others, he focused his senses on his surroundings. He expanded his awareness, feeling the energy in the area.
Then—he sensed something.
Far from where he stood, deep in the forest, a beast was lurking.
Seojun narrowed his eyes. "So that's why it wasn't caught..."
He moved swiftly and silently, reaching the location within a minute.
Before him stood a massive tree, its branches stretching like twisted claws into the sky. At its base, the beast sat completely still, as if waiting for something.
[Lucky that it was you who found it, host. That thing was waiting to attack anyone who got close.]
Seojun stared at the beast, unfazed.
"Yeah... lucky me," he said flatly.
His eyes examined the creature perched under the tree.
