Chapter 61

Synopsis
As the trio entered the forest in search of the Goldy Pond, Emma and Ray observed the surroundings of the forest. John then explained about the wild, man-eating demons that post potential danger towards them as he described the characteristics of those type of demons which made the two cowered in terror.

As the group proceeded to look for the pond, Emma tried to learn the skills of hunting by watching and imitating John's moves—much to the latter's dismay as he thought of the slimming possibility of fooling them. Out of a sudden, John fired his rifle and alerted a demon (in hopes of getting rid of either Emma or Ray), as the demon pounced from above to attack Emma.

Noticing the demon, Emma froze in fear, defenceless, as Ray grabbed her by her collar and dodged from the demon in a nick of time. An unconscious Ray then fell onto the ground, Emma immediately got back to her senses, as she grabbed hold of her rifle and attempts to save Ray from the demon. Before she could pull the trigger of her rifle, John —standing on the branch of a tree— shot the demon through its head, saving the three of them from getting eaten.

The entire moment of being attacked by the demon has left Emma in a traumatized state, as she questioned Ray whether is she alive when the latter proceeded to check on her. The two were later greeted by an amused John, as he climbed down from the tree and mocked the two's inability to protect themselves from the demon. In spite of John's mockery, Emma, however, thanked John for saving her.As Emma and Ray assumed the demon is dead, John then corrected them, explaining how the demon is invulnerable to his attack.The shot demon later rose from the ground as it led out a scream to signal its surrounding allies. As the trio stood atop of a tree, surrounded by a pack of demons, John expresses how their lives are in the hands of his and challenged the two to see who will survive in the end.
