Chapter Title: The Man-Hating Hunter Seol I-seom (2)

Crack...
Crunch...
"What the hell is this...?"
A Minotaur several times larger than the ones we'd encountered on the lower floors was chewing on something.
What was it chewing on? The human corpses scattered at the monster's feet made it impossible not to know, even if we tried.
"This is so unnatural. Right in front of the boss room... People piled up like trash."
"......"
Sis was right.
The scene unfolding before our eyes was far too unnatural.
This sinkhole had a structure like a maze-shaped tower on the inside.
It was the type where you cleared the maze and kept climbing up to take down the boss.
Plus, the fewer monsters you left alive, the stronger the survivors got. If you mindlessly killed every monster you saw on the way up, you'd end up too weak to beat the boss.
But we'd faced countless Minotaurs just getting up here to the boss room.
There was no way the monsters had gotten strong enough to wipe out a raiding party that easily.
"I'll handle the monster first."
I-seom unnie charged forward.
The Minotaur, with its back turned, showed no reaction even as she drew her sword.
As White Snow began tracing a pure white arc, the Minotaur's body froze over in an instant.
Only then did the monster let out a roar and turn around.
But it was far too late.
"Scatter."
With those words, White Snow struck the frozen Minotaur's face at the perfect timing.
Ice shards scattered in that moment.
The monster turned to glittering ice dust and dispersed into the air without a sound.
"......"
It wasn't beautiful so much as fleeting.
The sight of the monster that had taken so many hunters' lives vanishing in a blink...
The way it shattered like rags fluttering down to the ground like snow...
It was so hollow, not even a sigh escaped my lips.
"It's those Amazoness bitches."
I-seom unnie landed on the ground, grimacing as she turned her head.
Sure enough, traces of the Amazoness were scattered everywhere.
"Their pants are all stripped off, so yeah... They got hunted by men-haters."
It wasn't just pants. Their underwear was gone too.
Everyone was sprawled on the floor with their genitals fully exposed.
"No survivors... Not a single one..."
"Raping men and killing them to level up... No human could do something like that."
"Using monsters to cover up their crimes is creepy too... And they're already halfway done..."
There had been ten hunters in this raid.
But only six bodies were visible.
"Just in case... Sis, could you search the area?"
"Looking for survivors and Amazoness traces?"
"Yeah. And if you see anything that looks like personal effects, grab them."
"Tch... Those bitches who are worse than men... Hiding like rats, what kind of Amazoness are they?"
I-seom unnie clicked her tongue and kicked open the boss room door.
The door flew open with a loud bang, revealing a monster inside that looked three times bigger than a regular Minotaur, sprawled on the floor.
"I'll check the boss room first."
"Okay, do that."
There was no way I could ask unnie, with her misogyny toward men, to handle the bodies.
Especially not like this, with their genitals out in the open...
"Haa... This is why I didn't want to join a rescue party..."
I knew it wasn't my fault.
But the thoughts came anyway.
What if we'd come just a little faster? Could we have saved them?
At least stopped the bodies from being desecrated?
"No rushing back now..."
It was exactly the moment when I missed my oppa's warmth more than ever, in every way.
"Um... Ji-ham oppa."
"Yeah?"
Da-hye handed me a cup of coffee and asked.
"Is this really okay? If Ji-su catches us again... I don't think either of us will get out unscathed..."
"Don't worry about that. I'll figure something out."
"Figure something out how...?"
Doubt crept into her gaze.
Of course, with my sunglasses on, I couldn't peer directly into Da-hye's eyes. But I could tell she was looking at me like she didn't quite trust me.
"We'll talk details this weekend. I'll explain calmly over our date."
"That promise... It's still on, right?"
"Of course."
I took the coffee and gripped her hand tightly.
"Or have you decided you don't want to see me anymore?"
"......"
"Does having a famous hunter for a sister-in-law freak you out? Or are you worried about your husband finding out?"
"......"
"If that's really it, just tell me... If my greed is making things hard for you..."
"Don't say that. It's not your greed. It's mine."
Da-hye sighed and bowed her head.
"After we parted like that, I thought about it a lot alone... Wasn't asking you to satisfy my lust too much?"
"......"
"Strictly speaking, a normal sex partner and a married woman are totally different. Like how fuckbuddies and affairs aren't the same..."
"That's just how it looks to the world's judgmental eyes."
"...Huh?"
I walked right behind the counter.
And stood in front of the dejected Da-hye.
"Everything's just about labeling. It depends on the perspective."
"......"
"Who cares what others think? What matters is what I think... And what our Da-hye thinks. Right?"
"Ji-ham oppa..."
"So tell me one thing. Do you want to keep seeing me? Or do you want to end it?"
I lifted my sunglasses and peered at Da-hye's face hiding beneath.
Her face was ridiculously beautiful.
Unlike usual, her face looked a bit puffy... Had she been crying?
"I want to keep seeing you."
"......"
"Don't you?"
I grabbed her waist with both hands and slowly slid them under her clothes.
Feeling the smooth texture of her waist, I moved my hand toward her navel.
"Ah..."
My finger caught on the piercing.
The piercing connected to her navel still had the letter H dangling from it.
"Can this be my answer instead?"
"For real... Even a married woman like me is okay?"
"That's why it's great."
In that instant, soft laughter bubbled up from both of us at the same time.
"Wanna do it from behind then? I'll let you cum inside the married pussy."
Da-hye flashed a pretty smile and pressed her lower body right up against my crotch.
"When have you not let me?"
"That was me as your fuckbuddy. This is Bae Da-hye, the married woman."
"What's the difference?"
"None. It's all about the label."
Our faces drew slowly closer.
The thrill of kissing a married woman out in the open made me close my eyes in excitement.
But then.
Instead of kissing me, Da-hye yanked me downward.
We dropped right to the floor.
We were now hidden behind the cafe counter.
"D-Da-hye?"
"Ji-ham oppa. You can sneak out just like when Ji-su came last time, right?"
"Why all of a sudden?"
"No time to explain. She's almost..."
At that moment, the cafe door opened with a man's voice cutting in.
"Honey."
"Ah, y-you're here?"
Da-hye adjusted her sunglasses and stood up.
In her rush, the piercing on her navel swung wildly.
"What are you doing down there?"
"Dropped something and was picking it up."
"Yeah? Then who was that guy who just went behind the counter?"
"What are you talking about...?"
"Weird. I'm sure I saw him."
"Time Stop!"
Panicking at the approaching voice, I shouted the keyword.
"Whoa... That scared me..."
I sighed in relief at the 55 seconds floating before my eyes.
Before standing, I brought my face down to Da-hye's feet.
I pried open the hem of her white cotton tee and admired her body nestled inside her clothes.
Her pubic piercing, swaying side to side before freezing unnaturally.
Her abs forming perfect elevens.
Her flat chest that didn't need a bra.
"If only she had some tits..."
Swallowing my regret, I stood up.
That's when I saw him.
A man over 180 cm tall, handsome face, and a well-trained muscular build.
Bae Da-hye's husband, Kim Cheol-su. He was stepping behind the counter with a puzzled expression.
"Damn... He looks like he'd kick my ass in a fight no problem..."
But it wasn't impossible.
Kim Cheol-su was a B-Rank hunter, and I was an S-Rank awakener.
Even if we both hunted diligently, I'd eventually catch up to him.
"Hey, bro... I was about to blow a nice load in your married wife's pussy... Timing sucks, huh?"
I hugged Da-hye from behind and planted a light kiss on her nape.
Then I just slightly lifted my head to look at Kim Cheol-su.
It was an action unthinkable without time stop.
That's why my heart pounded even harder.
Why it felt even more thrilling.
"If I had more time, I'd have fucked her right here..."
I could've chained time stops to make penetration possible, but I held back for now.
I'd already used it once eating out Bojian, so two in a row would max me out.
"Gotta save it to try on Hye-jeong while fucking her..."
Instead, I tried something else.
First, I slipped my right hand into Da-hye's pants and covered her pussy.
Then I placed my left hand on her chest and gently cupped the soft mound.
Finally, I stuck out my tongue, licked along her nape, and spat out one line.
"Yo, your girl's smoking hot, huh?"
"......"
"Nah... Your wife's fucking delicious, man."
"......"
Of course, Kim Cheol-su showed no reaction.
He was just frozen stiff in the halted flow of time.
