Deep in the forest lay a region people rarely entered due to the scarcity of monsters.
It was the location Cohen had claimed to discover—though in truth, Farid had informed him about it.
Noon had just passed, and Cohen sat at the foot of a tree.
He sat expressionless, watching the distance where the Outliers—excluding Stein's party—and about seventy Awakened were hunting.
Bobby and Hide, his two publicly revealed Primordials, were also hunting ahead.
Scattered around were other Awakened who had chosen to simply watch for the meantime. Their levels were above most of the monsters here, so the hunting was left to the lower-leveled individuals.
'So if I were… a normal Awakened… or just a normal person, I would be moving on with my day, unaware of what was coming.'
Cohen let out a quiet chuckle.
'There's still something peaceful about that.'
