This is the story of a magician and an elf girl.

"Ms. Wendy! Ms. Youzi! Thank you for covering me! It was a great help!"

"Look... everyone said that, show your courage and confidence."

“… Yeah… I understand.”

The adventurers wielding longswords and giant axes below had no complaints at all. After long-term training and selection, they already knew their own bottom line and proficiency of weapons, which were only suitable for use in close combat - but even they could not predict when this power could be exerted.

"Sickle Moon——"

“Swoosh, snap, snap, snap!”

Light, wielding the long sword, launched his attack while concentrating the outline of his magic power on the blade. The hellhounds that could not escape from the huge blade had their heads cut off by the second blow before they could even cry out in pain. The adventurers, who could feel that Light was so powerful that they could not match him with common sense just by standing there, almost only stood there to cover Light's blind spot.

"...Are you alright, Master Light? Your physical strength and magic power should be..."

"Don't underestimate me, kid. I'm the only werewolf here. I'm good at fighting. If I don't show off my strength now, it would be too embarrassing, right?"

"...But...let's take a break. We can handle monsters of this level."

"...Yes, I'll leave those remaining members to you. Can you do that?"

"Yes! Of course!"

"...Hmph...then go ahead."

After experiencing a great battle with Hera, Light gradually gained the respect and reverence of the adventurers. Now he is no longer the descendant of the lonely werewolf or mercenary - his home has long been here, and the one who gave him this right was none other than the elf girl - in order to repay this kindness, he has a reason to stand on this land and move forward.

However, just as the battle turned into a melee, the situation gradually got out of their control...

"Hey...wait, where's the body that was here just now?"

"Ah... a corpse..."

"Yes, there should be several corpses of hellhounds—"

“——Snap!”

The situation started to deteriorate. The adventurer whose head was bitten off lost his life before he could even scream. Another adventurer, whose legs were weakened by fear, immediately threw several throwing knives, but none of his weapons hit the figure...

“Snap, snap, snap, snap!”

A horrifying scene then struck his eyes. The adventurer who was torn into pieces fell silent under the attack of an unknown monster. The other adventurers who immediately chased it would naturally not sit still and wait for death: "Wait! Asshole! What's going on! The hellhound's actions are completely different from before!"

"Don't hold back! Kill it once and for all! Use the Scythe Moon series of skills!"

“Drinkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Without thinking twice, the adventurers used their skills and cast out magic outlines. Unable to avoid them, the hellhound was hit directly by the third magic outline after dodging the second attack. At the same time, the fourth magic outline cut its body in two - but just as they breathed a sigh of relief, more corpses disappeared from the pool of blood without knowing when.

"Hey! What are you doing? Didn't we say that the hellhound's body must be burned thoroughly?!"

"Huh? Is this true?!"

Da Ying and his group, who were reminded by other adventurers, did not listen to Athena's advice at all. David, who served as the tank, and Xiao Kai, who served as the defender, did not properly deal with the prey they killed. Xiao Feng, who served as the central defender, only had the enhanced attack of the dagger, but he did remind David and the others along the way, but they completely ignored him.

"That's what the goddess said just now! Didn't you hear it?"

"See... I've told you... but they just won't listen..."

"We are all busy fighting! How can we spare the energy to do something like this..."

"I told you that you must do it now! Cerberus are cannibalistic monsters! Once they eat the corpse of their own kind, they will..."

No matter how careful you are, no matter how many times you warn people, people will always make some inevitable mistakes. People are such creatures, such lazy and idle life forms. No matter how important the matter is, or how much life-threatening insurance is, no matter how many and how important the advice is, no matter how many warnings are given, people will always - still be careless and create unnecessary problems.

"Guga?!"

“Swoosh, snap!”

The head that flew in the air rolled in a pool of blood after falling, and the empty eyes were as if they had seen an unbelievable existence and their expression was taken away - at the same time, the medium-sized hellhounds also trampled on the head of the corpse and showed their hideous gums.

"... No... No... These guys... Are they all——"

““Gah-ga ...

“Swoosh, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!!”

Jack, who reacted to the explosion, realized the situation immediately and knocked down the hellhounds in front of him at an extremely fast speed. He left the rest to his companions and went to the place where the incident occurred.

But even so, the adventurers who were hit by the three breaths were already trapped in the sea of ​​fire, and not even a piece of their bodies was left, they were completely burned to charcoal.

"…Hey…what happened? Cheer up!"

Jack arrived at the scene and rescued Xiaofeng, who was almost burned to death, from the fire, and looked at the wreckage of David, Xiaokai and Daying in front of him.

"…I'm sorry… Master Jack… We… actually… lied to you back then… We used our skills to make the fire… We didn't use any tools at all…"

"Alright, alright! Forget about these nonsense! Stop talking!"

"…This time…it's our fault…We didn't handle…the corpse of the hellhound properly…I'm sorry…I'm sorry…I'm always so disappointing…I can't…muster up the courage…I'm really…too weak…"

"No such thing... You've tried your best... Just leave the rest to me... Hurry up--"

Just when Jack wanted to take Xiaofeng away from the battlefield.

“Swoosh, snap!”

The afterimage that passed by his eyes immediately took away Xiao Feng's body. Without even a cry, he turned into a snack in the mouths of hellhounds in the blink of an eye. Unable to save that life, Jack once again recalled the past events - very similar, very similar to that time, the monster covered in hellfire once again snatched his beloved companion from his hands.
