Chapter 4 The attack of the monsterized human.

Norah sat quietly in the air vehicle as her pet Giant snake acted as her chair and a deterrent for the men of the two groups under her command.

She was a simple tamer before joining the golden griffin guild.

While the woman didn't like the guild and its methods, the amount of wealth provided to her made Norah remain with them.

Norah had a hobby of collecting rare animals and putting them in her private zoo.

The giant snake under her was one of the few controlled by her ability.

This woman's middle eastern blood made her quite an exotic beauty, and due to the restrictions of her ability, Norah had to wear clothes that made her look like an exotic dancer.

As her actual ability's name was 'Pheromone control.'

This allowed her to spread out pheromones to direct those around her to act in whatever way she pleased subconsciously.

It was similar to mind control but would make any possible enemies reluctant to attack her.

However, it only affected beasts and humans, while monsters and demons would either receive a lesser effect or put them in an agitated state that would last until she died.

Her control wasn't the best, and in a moment of fear or when she knows things are hopeless, the woman's pheromones will surge out for a moment, making her the best lure in dungeons or the worst person to have when no one can handle whatever attacks them.

A nasty quirk to have, especially when the highest-ranked person In the group was an A-ranker, and she was around that level only thanks to items that boosted her ability.

As Norah relaxed, the men and women in the compartment gave lecherous looks toward their leader for this mission as they whispered amongst themselves.

The girl was distracted thinking about her younger brother and disabled father.

Because of her love and care for them, she was in the griffin guild, and the guild master used that weakness to make the woman follow most of his commands.

After this mission, she'd be given time off to see them.

However, Fate has other plans for her.

Just seconds before they were about to land, A loud bang was heard before the plane shook.

Seconds later, the alarm went off in their compartment, causing everyone to cover their ears and wonder.

What the hell was going on!?

With the help of her pet monster, Norah was already making her way to the bridge while shouting out one question.

"WHAT IS GOI-!?"

Her words were cut off by the scene before her.

The primary pilot was dangling halfway through the windshield as something seemed to be pulling the person's corpse out.

While the Co-pilot, who was barely alive, was trying to land the plane with what seemed to be a see-through tail stabbed through his gut!

Seeing how bad things were, Norah immediately ordered her pet to attack the tail that was open for an attack.

The woman jumped off the Giant snake before it charged with an angry hiss!

She was going to try to provide the Co-pilot with some medicine to help their chances of not dying in a plane crash.

Only there was one major problem with her plan.

A large hole emerged at the hull beside her as a reptilian eye glared in her direction, causing a chill to run down her spine.

Remember what her little issue was AND its effects on monsters?

Well, the monster outside received the full blast, and her pet beast got pulled out of the plane thanks to the strength the monster had gained from its frenzied state.

Sharp glass from the windshield went flying about as things turned into a downward spiral.

Her allies heading over also received the same treatment, including the Co-pilot, who stopped controlling the plane that was beginning to spin out of control!

Some of them crashed into the hulls, the Co-pilot got peppered by the flying shards of glass and then ripped in half, and one crew also got peppered in shards before getting pulled through another hole made in the hull.

It was a bloody pandemonium occurring in the brief fifteen-second spin before the plane hit something.

After several crashes and rolls, the plane finally stopped, stuck under some rubble with only half its crew alive.

The compartment's lights lit up the room, but thanks to the blood of the dead, it gave the white flickering lights a reddish hue.

Norah was unconscious, and her skill was going full blast as the other survivors were distracted by the very ability that made her so feared.

Despite how Bloodied and bruised their bodies were, it didn't stop the survivors from quickly reaching the woman before groping her body, licking her blood, biting into her skin, or using whatever they could to take in more of that intoxicating scent she was giving off.

One of the nightmares of every skill holder is times like these when their skills could very well kill them!

But the plane screeched as something forced it to tilt to one side.

Then one of the eight survivors removed a skill-boosting item, which helped the other A-ranker, Entitled as 'Ice daemon,' in the group recollects himself before putting on a crow mask that he collected from one of the dead.

Ice daemon was a Korean man named Kim Gong-ja.

The mask was something all of the members were supposed to have whenever they traveled with Norah.

The rough landing messed up Gong-ja's chance of putting on his making the man lose his mask in the process.

Plague doctor's mask: Negates all status effects on the wearer.

The man took a deep breath before forcing the others to wear whatever masks were intact.

Gong-ja was forced to kill two because of the lack of masks.

However, Norah was not in good condition, thanks to taking too much time to recollect himself.

It was like she barely survived an attack from a horde of zombies!

Even after giving the woman some healing potions, the terrible scars remained as her shrill cries over what had happened brought back some memories better left forgotten.

But most of the survivors didn't care about her mental condition.

Some of them, including the youngest of the group, hurled after realizing what they had done.

However, They had to figure out what had happened and leave the area before the association arrived and buts in.

It also made them forget about one BIG problem that was now looking at them from one of the gaps of the crashed plane.

The low growl that followed helped them remember.

The six survivors quickly grouped up around their strongest skill holders Gong-JA was trying to get Norah to use her ability to get some help from the local beasts.

Several screeching metal sounds reverberated through the crashed plane, making it hard to discern where their attacker was!

The plane rocked violently from side to side.

Then everything went quiet.

"Get ready! It's about to attack!"

Gong-ja could already sense that something was about to happen as he created a set of ice armor for himself and the rest of the survivors to improve their chances of survival, making them all look like Ice Daemons, just like his title.

The calm before the storm caused one of them to gulp.

They tightened the grips on their weapons.

The youngest and most inexperienced of the group was a scout, a young girl in her late teens.

She was already using her mana to scan the compartment repeatedly to ensure no one else.

The girl was a promising scout with the B-rank skill 'Fox's senses.'

It would temporarily change her body into that of a foxkin's.

As long as this was active, nothing could escape her senses.

She'll do her best to ensure the safety of the six other survivors around her.

...Six?

The girl quickly examined the people around her and counted how many were left in their group.

Including her, there were only six of them altogether.

So where was the seventh?

The girl felt her heart sink as she did her best not to panic or scream.

She tried getting the attention of the two people nearest to her without making a target of herself.

But the girl's choice was someone who was a loudmouth during stressful moments.

So the loudmouth man said something that only made things even worse for her.

"What? Did you find it with your skill already?"

The space they were in was big enough to make his complaint sound like a shout, and he also went against one of the cardinal rules when dealing with a monster.

Gong-ja could only curse out loud as he tried summoning more protection for the girl.

Sadly, his actions were too slow as the loud mouth, and the girl's head spun through the air, but it deactivated the stealth ability of the monster hanging right above them!

"ATTACK!"

Gong-ja yelled out in a mixture of fear and fury as the survivors, including Norah, who was using a rifle, attacked.

Starting a fight against a monster that looked like a mutated lizardman in close quarters.
