Night.

on the wasteland.

The members of the Crescent Moon Adventure Party rested here.

Before the campfire.

The crescent moon looked at the dancing flames, a little dazed.

Freya and Wiz resting in a carriage.

The other members also gathered around the carriage.

Suddenly.

A wind blew.

Crescent came back to her senses and looked around.

Dark shadows appeared around.

Is that...

"Steppenwolf!" The crescent pupil narrowed.

"Enemy attack!" One of the archers also noticed that something was wrong around him.

The members of the Crescent Moon Adventure were all awakened.

When they throw out the torch and see the situation around them,

Suddenly, several magicians were so frightened that they took a few steps back.

The red-eyed Steppenwolves definitely outnumbered hundreds of them.

Behind them.

A Steppenwolf King appears.

"Whew!"

The silence was broken in an instant.

Hundreds of Steppenwolves attacked the Crescent Adventure Band.

Their combat effectiveness, not to mention intermediate adventurers, even high-level adventurers, should be paid attention to.

Steppenwolves, who live in the wasteland, come in packs, and every time they appear, they bring disaster.

The crescent moon took out her weapon and rushed directly towards the wolf king.

He knew very well that if he solved the Steppenwolf King, the Steppenwolf would naturally disperse.

But this Steppenwolf King, seeing the crescent moon, ran directly into the distance.

The crescent moon was shocked, but he didn't expect the Steppenwolf King to have such a high level of intelligence, and he actually didn't let him get close.

Several Steppenwolf surrounded him, making it impossible for the crescent moon to pursue the Steppenwolf King for a while.

The Steppenwolf King looked at the crescent moon, and the boy came to mind.

Compared to the crescent moon, the boy was even more terrifying.

He rode the fire dragon and directly killed all his own clan, and the battle between it and the fire dragon was also one-sided.

However, its family is not completely dead.

Instead, he became a summoning object for the boy.

Thinking of this, the Steppenwolf King glanced into the distance.

The teenager watched from afar.

……

The crescent moon was surrounded by several Steppenwolves, and there was no way to return for a while.

Wiz and Freya, the former is good at ice magic, and the latter is good at healing.

The crescent moon was not there, and Wiz was in charge of commanding the battle.

She wanted everyone to huddle, but the Steppenwolf outnumbered the members of the Crescent Adventure Troupe, and several mages had already fallen, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

Several fighters were also bitten by Steppenwolf and completely incapacitated.

Wiz wanted to retreat, but in the dark of night, no matter how good an adventurer was, he couldn't outrun Steppenwolf.

What's more, the carriage could no longer move.

Steppenwolf eats the horse pulling the cart.

"Wiz, my magic is not enough." Freya's voice rang out.

Without hesitation, Wiz took out a bottle of mana recovery potion and threw it to Freya.

Freya took the potion and drank it.

However, the magic power did not replenish, but the head sank.

"Plop" Freya fell to the ground.

"Freya!" Wiz didn't see what was happening, and thought Freya had been attacked by Steppenwolf.

Steppenwolf surrounded him.

Wiz picked up Freya and jumped to the top of the carriage.

Ice magic continues, and a single blow can drive away a Steppenwolf.

Steppenwolf dodged her attacks and surrounded her.

Wiz's heart sank.

She sensed the difficulty of these Steppenwolves.

I watched as the surrounding warriors fell to the ground one by one.

Wiz looked in the direction of the crescent moon.

This moment was very similar to when they left the village.

The crescent moon is nowhere to be found, and Al protects them.

When Al died in battle, the crescent moon appeared.

As a result, Freya awakened her healing powers, and Crescent Moon also awakened her ice abilities.

Her ability is innate.

Wiz sensed that his magic was insufficient.

She pulled out the Mana Recovery Potion.

Just drank it.

Wiz felt the magic and didn't reply.

She stared blankly at Freya, who was unconscious.

"It turned out to be a potion... Sakura! ”

By the time she thought about Sakura, it was too late.

Steppenwolf looked at the fallen Wizz and turned to attack the other adventurers.

in the sky.

A dark shadow appeared.

The fire dragon flew over the head of the crescent moon.

He had just dealt with a few Steppenwolves, and when he saw the figure of the fire dragon, he instantly understood what was going on, and headed towards the camp.

The Steppenwolf King also let out a cry at this time.

This is the order to retreat.

The Steppenwolves began their neat evacuation.

Crescent Moon looked at the fire dragon that landed in the camp, and Sakura who landed on the top of the carriage, and the whole person was stunned.

Sakura picked Freya and Wiz on her shoulders and jumped onto the back of the fire dragon.

The fire dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky.

"Damn it!" Crescent clenched her fists and understood everything.

Sakura: This is taking refuge in the Goblin Camp!

She'd said before that the Goblin Camp had a fire dragon and an animal trainer.

Now that I think about it, the sudden appearance of the Steppenwolf King was definitely done by that beast trainer.

However, he has no evidence ...

Steppenwolf's appearance in the wasteland is so plausible that no one would doubt it at all.

……

Goblin camp in the early morning.

In a chalet.

Wiz woke up.

She sat up and looked at the cabin.

The events of last night are still echoing in my mind.

She had so many things she couldn't figure out.

The biggest puzzle is why Sakura would give her the wrong potion.

Could it be that Sakura betrayed the Crescent Moon?

The door to the "click" cabin opened.

Wiez looked at Su Yu who pushed the door open, and was slightly stunned.

"It's time for breakfast, and I'll explain it to you slowly after breakfast." Su Yu said lightly.

Hearing this, Wiz stood up.

When she walked out of the cabin, she found Sakura and Freya sitting at the table.

Freya seemed to be a little afraid of Sakura, and sat quietly in her seat, not daring to speak.

Sakura's expression was indifferent.

Su Yu sat across from Sakura, leaving an empty spot for Wiz.

on the table.

Freshly baked bread, and jam and pâté, with a pot of mushroom soup in the middle of the table.

Wiez sat down and saw Su Yu and Sakura eating, and she began to eat bread.

After a breakfast.

An unexpected person appeared.

"Uncle Victor?" Freya looked stunned.

Wiz looked at Su Yu beside him.

Su Yu didn't mean to speak at all.

"Freya, Wiz, there's a secret I've always wanted to tell you." Victor said slowly.

"What's the secret?" Freya stared at Victor.

She had a hunch that this matter definitely had something to do with Al.

"Al and I killed the crescent moon." Victor's voice was small.

"Uncle Victor, you... What did you say? Freya froze.

"It was I who let the monster out, knowing that Al would protect you, and the crescent moon and I were watching from the side, I could have saved Al, but the crescent moon stopped me. He said that without Al, you would like him, and Wiz was the same. Victor said with guilt on his face.

"Really... Are you sure? Freya clenched her little fists and looked at Victor.

"Wiz should be aware of this..."

Victor looked at Wiz next to him.

Freya turned to look at her friend.

Wiz nodded slightly.
