Lorgar found that this wild, ugly flying monster who had hairless wings and terrifying strength sounded somewhat familiar.

”Wait, doesnʼt it sound like the white pigeon whoʼs very close to Ashes?” The Wolf Girl thought. A fierce image of the bird she had imagined flashed across her mind again.

”Maggie?” The name slipped out of her mouth before she realized.

”The wolf can actually speak, coo!” The monster gave out a strange cry and hurriedly retreated many steps with its eyes widely open. Seeing this, the Wolf Girl froze in the place, unable to decide whether she should spring at it. She did not know why Maggie launched this sneak attack at her but still thought this incident was a good opportunity to challenge Maggie. However, the panicked monsterʼs actions made her think that Maggie was the one being ambushed.

”Itʼs a witch, idiot.” A crisp, immature voice suddenly came from the monsterʼs head. ”Whoʼre you? How do you know us?

Lorgar looked up. She had to slightly narrow her eyes to look hard and found another witch floating in the air with the sun behind her. In the glaring sunshine, the Wolf Girl could only vaguely see her short blond hair flying in the wind and a weapon reflecting silver light in her hand.

Lorgar was surprised that this little girl seemed to have a lot of fighting experience. This technique of using dazzling sunlight to hurt an opponentʼs eyes was not very easy to master.

Knowing that these witches did not come to challenge her, Lorgar let herself relax. She liked challenges, but she did not want to pester her opponents. Besides, she still remembered what Ashes had said about Maggie, ”All the people who challenged her could not get rid of bad luck”. With this in mind, she decided to avoid this trouble when she was strengthening her fighting capacity alone.

She dropped the pack that was in her mouth and transformed back into her human form. ”Iʼm Lorgar Burnflame from the Desert. I came here with Ashes and Andrea. Ashes mentioned you on the way, Maggie.”

”Ah, I remember.” The big monster shrank in the blink of an eye and turned into a little girl whose height was only up to her waist but had long white hair almost touching the ground. ”Iʼve met her when I went to pick up Ashes. Coo!”

”Didnʼt Ashes tell you anything about me?” The blond little girl grumbled.

”Youʼre…”

”Lightning, the greatest explorer in the Western Region, no, in the entire Kingdom of Graycastle!” With these words, she plunged down and landed in front of the Wolf Girl. ”Youʼve got to remember it!”

”Coo... why did you take off your clothes?” Maggie curiously looked at the Wolf Girlʼs chest and then touched her own. ”Is that something you can conjure up? Coo!”

Lightning gave Maggie a knock on the head. ”Stop staring at her. Thatʼs just individual differences.”

Lorgar put on her coat. ”So why did you attack me?”

Lightning stopped being so confident and seemed even a little embarrassed. ”I thought you were a mutated snowwolf. Itʼs our job to keep watch on the northeast, eliminate wandering demonic beasts in the Barbarian Land, and bring fresh preys back to the castle.”

”And stealing birdsʼ eggs from their nests, picking honeycombs, and roasting food in the wilderness!”

”Those arenʼt our work!” Lightning instantly interrupted Maggie. ”In short, thereʼs almost no one in this area, plus the Months of Demons just ended, so...”

”I see.” Lorgar nodded. She accepted this explanation since she had repeatedly heard that the border regions of northern kingdoms would become very dangerous during Months of Demons every year. After the fight against the Four-winged Eagle, Ashes had also told her many things about hybrid demonic beasts. It was sensible that these witches up in the sky had mistaken the big Desert Wolf she had transformed into as a wolf demonic hybrid.

”What about you?” the little girl asked. ”This is the Barbarian Land. Many demonic beasts wander this place and something even more terrible may also hide here. What do you want to do out here alone?”

”Something more terrible... Do you mean demons?” Lorgar calmly said. ”If so, I think Iʼve come to the right place.”

”You know about the demons? Coo.”

”Iʼm looking for an abandoned city. I heard the demons have appeared there.” She paused for a moment. ”I want to hunt them.”
