Chapter 121:
We kindly ask for your understanding regarding the inconsistency of character pronouns, particularly for the Entities (ex. The Greedy Predator). In Korean, pronouns are rarely used, making it challenging to ascertain a character's gender or identity until later narratives unfold.

On a more important note, refrain from sharing this work on social media to ensure our survivability. Thank you for your cooperation!
The fantastical creature summoned through a contract that Seora had acquired from the United States. Seora had mentioned it could use her skills.

The fox appeared so distressed that Kang Sejun hesitated to proceed. He stood still, observing as the fox turned its attention to the three-headed dragon and began walking away with the cube in tow.
Relieved to spot the fox approaching Monique, who was still engaged in battle on the ground, Kang Sejun couldn’t help but feel puzzled by the creature’s behavior. While it was understandable for a summoned creature to become angry when the contractor was in a dire state, this particular appearance was perplexing.
“It’s almost human-like,” Kang Sejun muttered to himself, even though he found it hard to believe. He shook his head in disbelief.
After confirming that Monique had treated Seora, Kang Sejun returned to the dragon. Only three heads remained, and they needed to dispose of the dragon swiftly to ensure Seora received the necessary care and leave this place.
Realizing the urgency, Kang Sejun launched a Meteor attack toward the dragon.
