An unexpected observation. In addition to the five hunters, there is someone else.

Five armed men. Leather hunting clothes that do not restrict movement. Hunting rifles (their weapons look better than your rifle).

Suddenly, you see a sixth person coming out of a small tent.

A young girl with long blond hair. She is dressed in a worn-out jacket, female T-shirt, and jeans.

One of the hunters says something to her in a demanding tone: “Keira! Enough chatter - you have already delayed our group! No objections! My guys will take you back to the village right now! It is too dangerous in this forest! And especially this mysterious mansion... There is no question of me letting you come with us! We will do everything ourselves, without your participation... "

Man in a wide-brimmed hat. This man is probably the leader of the hunting group. He is clearly unhappy with the fact that the girl ended up in the camp.

The girl's voice: “But I must, George! My brother has disappeared somewhere in this dark, ominous forest! I have to find him! Why can't I go with you?!"

You see that some of the five hunters continue to collect supplies, put out the fire and look tiredly in the direction of this girl.

She must have tired them out with her presence...

One hunter takes out his rifle and starts loading it...

Suddenly you hear a pop next to you!

The guy who was trying to load the rifle falls to the ground along with his weapon.

You only have time to notice a small bleeding wound on his forehead.

The butler is an extremely accurate shooter...

A moment after the first shot, the group of hunters is attacked from the opposite side of the camp.

A large dark figure jumps out of the thick bushes and immediately appears near the pair of hunters.

Bernhardt...

He clearly caught these two guys by surprise...

The lightning-fast movements of the "gardener's" body make his joints bend in positions that are frightening and unnatural for an ordinary human...

Two powerful swings of muscular arms that have extremely sharp and long claws.

One hunter drops the backpack in which he tried to pack food supplies.

Now instead of a throat he has some kind of bloody mess of torn flesh...

The second guy manages to duck only thanks to the speed of his reflexes.

He somersaults on the ground and takes out a small firearm from a bag on a sling (it looks like a rapid-fire submachine gun).

A series of shots in the direction of Bernhardt.

Some of the shots hit the target: your companion's right leg and right arm are wounded.

However, he does not show any pain shock or fear at all.

Probably, his battle rage is so strong that he continues his rapid attack.

What you see next is... disgusting and horrifying...

Bernhardt pounces on the hunter who shot him and knocks him to the ground.

A series of claw strikes...

Pieces of bloody meat fly in different directions...

Sharp fangs dig into human flesh in the neck area...

This guy screams hysterically in pain and horror...

But it doesn't last long - it's hard to scream for someone whose throat has been bitten through...

A girl stands in the middle of a clearing, paralyzed by the shocking events that are happening.

The leader of the hunting group shouts to her: "It's an ambush! Damned monsters are attacking us! Run away from here while you can, stupid girl!"

Then he raises his rifle, pointing the barrel of the weapon towards Bernhardt...

This man in a wide-brimmed hat is clearly aiming straight at the "gardener's" head...

You act quickly based on reflexes and hunting experience...

Quick aim...

Shot!

You see how your bullet damaged the fingers on the right palm of the leader of the hunting group. Because of this, he does not have time to pull the trigger and the barrel of his rifle rises up.

However. the sound of your shot was loud...

Another hunter notices the bushes you were hiding in.

Obviously, you have been noticed now.

This guy raises his rifle and fires, trying to cause you maximum damage.

The bullet flies as close as possible to your head, tearing the skin off your left cheek and damaging the lobe of your left ear.

You feel profuse bleeding. Drops of your blood run down your cheek and trickle down your neck.

However, if the bullet had flown five centimeters to the right, you would probably already be dead...

With trembling hands, you reload your rifle.

At the same time, the girl named Keira regains her composure and overcomes her state of shock. She screams in fear and runs towards the edge of the forest. She probably decided to follow the "advice" of the leader of the hunting group and return to the nearest village...

However, she was not destined to fulfill this intention.

You see a small object falling next to her and the leader of the hunting group.

You can't see it clearly...

It looks like a grenade...

The grenade doesn't explode...

The grenade emits a cloud of acrid yellowish smoke that envelops two silhouettes.

The girl and the leader of the hunting group cough, trying to cover their noses and mouths with their hands.

Then they both fall to the ground.

You quickly look towards Bellworth: indeed, he has another similar grenade in his hands. So, this powerful grenade throw is his doing...

The last able-bodied hunter drops his weapon and runs away from the forest in fear.

Or rather, he hesitates to do so.

A swift, hunched silhouette catches up with him.

Bernhardt looks like a terrifying beast, whose mouth is bloody from eating the flesh of his victims.

His long, bloody arms grab the hunter by the legs.

The frightened guy falls to the ground, still screaming in horror: "Monsters! Help me! At least someone save me!"

A little more and the sharp fangs will close on the guy's throat...

However, you hear a loud commanding voice: "Enough, Bernhardt! Three is enough for you! The remaining three must be delivered to the mansion alive... Do you remember Mr. Addison's orders?"

Bernhardt growls in displeasure...
