“P-Please, don’t kill me!” a Witch cried out in fear as a Little Girl, who was only four feet tall, looked down on her.
“If you don’t want to die, then break your Escape Rune,” the Little Girl said, her blue eyes glowing with power. “I’ll give you ten breaths to do it. Once the time is up, and you don’t…”
The Witch didn’t hesitate and immediately took out her escape rune and broke it.
A moment later, she disappeared from Janga Valley and returned to the entrance of the Legacy Gate.
The Little Girl then glanced in the direction of the Witch’s teammates, who decided to fly in different directions to better escape her pursuit.
“Futile,” the Little Girl muttered before disappearing from where she stood.
Several minutes later, the Wizards and Witches who attempted to run away were all caught by her.
She broke their legs, but she didn’t break their arms, allowing them to use their Escape Runes to save their lives.
The Little Girl then closed her eyes to sense if there were any other foreigners whom she might have missed within Janga Valley.
She had waited patiently until the night of the full moon before making her move to repel them from her territory.
Truth be told, she was holding a grudge against them since she couldn’t get out even when the food she had stored inside her nest had almost been used up.
She didn’t hold back and broke their legs as a way of venting her pent-up frustration for all the suffering that she experienced because of them.
“Now, only that group with my Kindred Spirit remains,” the Little Girl said after opening her eyes. “I guess it’s time to finally meet her.”
She then jumped into the top of a tree and looked towards the West, where she could feel a strong connection with her Kindred Spirit.
Her long pink hair fluttered in the breeze as she stood on top of the tree, with the full moon behind her back.
A blue gem glowed faintly on her forehead, allowing her to sense everything within her Domain.
She looked very cute, but looks were deceiving.
If someone were to underestimate her like the Wizards and Witches she had just hunted down, that someone would find themselves facing a creature that could easily break a boulder in half with a single punch.
“That weird guy is still with her,” the Little Girl frowned. “… Should I bring some fruit as an offering so he won’t eat me?”
She knew that the Weird Blue Guy had this scary creature hiding inside his body, so she was very hesitant to go near them.
But she wanted to meet and talk with the angelic beauty by his side no matter what, simply because it was what her instincts were telling her.
While she was pondering these thoughts, she sensed a powerful presence coming from the South East, making her frown.
‘It’s probably that snake again,’ the Little Girl pouted. ‘How many times must I tell it not to enter my territory?’
However, the pout on the Little Girl’s face disappeared and was replaced with a grim look when she felt something sinister coming from the strong presence she felt earlier.
‘This power… it’s similar to that vile monster in Deathseeker Forest,’ the Little Girl thought. ‘Although it is different, it feels the same.’
Suddenly, she came to a realization.
The monster’s movements were coming straight towards her as if it had locked onto her body the moment it entered Janga Valley.
Gritting her teeth, her power surged from within her body. She then jumped from tree to tree, intending to face off against the Monster that was targeting her.
The Little Girl knew that even if she managed to escape the creature’s pursuit, it wouldn’t solve anything.
She might be able to escape it now that her power was at its peak, but what would happen after the day of the full moon?
She didn’t want to think about that scenario, so she decided to face the monster head-on and end its life.
That way, she wouldn’t have to worry about being hunted down, especially by a creature who was giving her a very bad premonition.

“That girl is pretty cute,” Ace commented as he looked at the bowl of water. “She’s also very strong. Is she really a Monster?”
“She is,” Emma replied as she gazed at the image that appeared on the surface of the water. “She might be the Fourth Boss Monster of this Legacy Domain, which was missed by the surveying team of Nightfall Academy.
“Where is she going?” Luna, who was looking at the Little Girl with a complicated look on her face, asked.
She didn’t know why, but she felt a very strong connection towards the Little Girl. Although this was the first time she had seen her, Luna could feel that she and the pink-haired girl with a blue gem on her forehead shared something special.
Emma didn’t answer right away. Instead, she lightly tapped on the surface of the water and used her Scrying Ability to check the location the Little Girl was headed to.
A few seconds later, the image of a Giant Silver Snake with red eyes appeared on the water’s surface.
“That looks similar to the Bronze Giant Snake we fought in the Deathseeker Forest,” Sefarina commented. “But it looks bigger now, and its scales have changed to silver. Did it evolve or something?”
“Perhaps,” Bridge softly replied. “It is also coming from the Harrowing Desert, which is the home of that Boss Monster. I doubt that there is another Giant Snake Monster in this Domain aside from it.”
“Is that Little Girl going to fight it?” Archer asked. “Should we help her?
Everyone then looked at the handsome young man, who was the leader of their group.
“Do you want to meet her?” Ethan asked Luna with a smile.
“Yes,” Luna replied in a heartbeat as she placed her right hand over her chest. “Something is telling me that I must meet her no matter what.”
Ethan nodded. “Very well, let’s go. Let’s go meet your soon-to-be best friend.”
A few minutes later, several Wizards and Witches, flying on broomsticks, zoomed across the moonlit sky.
Their destination was the border between Janga Valley and the Harrowing Desert.
A place where two powerful monsters were currently fighting each other with the intent to kill.
