What Happened to Supporting Us?

The Lion Dog charged toward Galan, its dagger-like teeth gleaming with a chilling light.

It growled, exhaling white mist from its nostrils, and its thick hooves left deep imprints on the soil beneath its feet.

It was like a runaway bus careening recklessly down the road.

Galan stood fearlessly not far from the pack of Lion Dog. The moment he ran out of the forest without any attempt to conceal himself, the monsters noticed him and began to drool over the little white rabbit that looked like it had lost its way.

You actually want to eat me?

Seemingly sensing the intentions of the Lion Dog Galan narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile.

As expected, the prey took the bait. Unfortunately, the roles of prey and hunter can change in an instant. In the end, it's still uncertain who will eat whom. When he saw that the lead Lion Dog was less than ten meters away from him, Galan didn't hesitate any longer. After all, facing so many monsters alone was still a tricky situation. So he turned around and ran towards the open space in the distance.

The lowly monsters behind them had no idea of the intricacies of the situation; they only thought that their prey, which was about to be captured, had sensed the approaching danger and was immediately trying to escape.

Although their names contain the word "lion," suggesting a blood relationship with felines,

However, the species systems of monsters and living creatures are completely different. Even the origin of the original monsters remains unknown. The only thing people know is that the Demons race evolved from monsters. They know nothing else, so they cannot be simply classified using the existing system of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

They are not cats, and Galan is not a mouse. In fact, Lion Dog never have the perverse habit of playing with their prey like a cat playing with a mouse. Seeing Galan running away in a hurry, they can only roar excitedly. This feeling of chasing the "fleeing" prey arouses the ferocious and ruthless nature in their blood, making them all rush to their heads and fall into madness.

Their monstrous nature completely overwhelmed their remaining intelligence; they simply followed their instincts and chased after the fleeing Galan.

Thus began a comical chase. Due to its large size, the Lion Dog wasn't very fast. If Galan were to run at full speed, he could quickly outrun them, but that would defeat the purpose of his plan.

So he could only run while secretly glancing back, precisely controlling his speed so that the monsters always thought he could catch up with this plump prey with just a little more effort, but no matter what, he was always just a little short.

It looks quite comical.

Any of them with exceptional intelligence would know that they are now firmly ensnared by their prey.

Unfortunately, despite their powerful bodies and limbs, they haven't evolved the intelligence to match, let alone in their current state.

After confirming that all the Lion Dog had been lured out of the field, Galan slightly increased his pace, a distant smile on his face, and quickened his steps. "Focus more, be patient, and properly refine the Mana needed for this attack. Your aura was a bit chaotic just now."

Frieren's voice rang out behind Lia, "One by one, just like this."

She lowered her head and tucked her pointed ears, characteristic of Elves, under her scarf, leaving only the tips showing.

Her silver ponytail cascaded down her back like two waterfalls. She was leaning against a tree, flipping through Grimoire in her hand, while also giving Lia some pointers. She looked quite relaxed.

He had told Galan that he would be there to assist, but in the end he ended up sitting on the sidelines providing command, like a commander in the rear during a battle, acting as the brain of an army to lead the troops in battle, driving the soldiers to conquer everywhere.

At this moment, she was not only a teacher, but also a gunner, precisely adjusting Lia, this large-caliber "cannon" ready to fire.

Lia had already concealed herself in the woods, setting up her Staff in the clearing outside the forest, like someone hiding in a blind spot on the battlefield, holding a heavy machine gun and waiting for enemies to rush into the trap. This kind of ambush tactic is a well-worn routine in the modern world, but it can be considered quite advanced in this world.

After all, it's difficult to develop military strategies and tactics in the world of magic; one can only rely on one's own strength.

However, comparing Lia to a cannon is not quite appropriate, since the magic she casts does not involve loading and explosion but rather relies on the combination of two different elements of Mana to form a combo attack.

"They're here."

Suddenly, Frieren poked her head out of the book and looked outside.

Both of them sensed the movements of Galan and the Lion Dog through their Mana Detection.

Once they were all within Lia's firing range, Galan suddenly increased his speed to a completely different level. In just a few breaths, his figure vanished completely from the Lion Dog's sight.

His ghostly figure vanished into the forest, concealing his presence.

This caused the monsters to lose all clues about him in an instant.

So it wandered around in the open space nearby, like a lost puppy, not knowing what to do next.

"[Tornado Magic]"

"[Gale Inferno Transformation Magic]"

Under the combination of the two magics.

The fierce wind burst open the scorching flames as it spun at high speed.

The fire tornado enveloped all of the dozen or so Lion Dog. In Galan's eyes, the fire tornado was like a giant living oven, and the Lion Dog trapped inside looked like suckling pigs waiting to be roasted.

A dazzling red light soared upwards along the tornado, piercing the sky, and the sky above Galan was shrouded in a vortex of red lotus.

An enormous pillar of fire stood between heaven and earth, distorting the entire area under the scorching heat.

The magic that had shone brightly in Duncan's hands was now being reproduced in Lia's hands, unlike the unstable state it had been in the past. Lia's proficiency with this combination technique had improved significantly, and its power had naturally increased greatly.

Yes... the power has indeed increased considerably...

Thinking of this,

Galan had just been focused on "cooking a delicious meal," sensed something was wrong. He quickly looked into the huge pillar of fire and found that the monsters that had been screaming were now completely silent and lifeless, turned into huge charcoal pieces by the scorching flames. Our chef, on the other hand, seemed to be blindly increasing the heat, completely oblivious to the cooking process and immersed in his own art.
