Chapter 48: A Different Monster
"Fuck, you fucking monster bastard!"
KWAANG! The A-rank hero who had just returned from a dispatch kicked a trash can and shouted in frustration.
It was understandable — this was already the fifth dispatch just today.
And yet, they hadn't even gotten close to touching the monster, hadn't even seen its tail, so it would have been strange not to be angry.
Black Cat was a despair-class monster with a special ability that fooled the monster detection devices.
At the same time, it was a mutant... or at least, they thought it was — a monster that didn’t hunt humans.
If a hero stronger than itself appeared, it would act friendly, pretending to be harmless until it was absolutely sure it could shake them off.
"Why is Black Cat acting like this all of a sudden?"
"It's not all of a sudden — we were just stupid enough to fall for it until now."
"It’s not awakening — it's just revealing its true nature."
Black Cat was darting around W-City at an absurd speed, hunting humans.
It had been three days since Black Cat started hunting, and in that time, about five hundred citizens had died.
