Synopsis

The chapter details a group of hunters facing a massive, exceptionally strong wyvern, identified as a 'Named Monster' found in a 'Variation Gate,' which defies the expected monster rankings for the area. The encounter results in the near annihilation of their initial party and a panicked retreat, while also revealing that one party member, despite appearing strong, is terrified due to his past with such monsters. This causes him to lash out at others, while the protagonist seems to be familiar with the situation and is analyzing how the team is reacting.
