"Whoosh—!"
High above Taiger Forest, a figure streaked through the sky like a beam of light, setting off a piercing sonic boom that rang loudly through the forest.
Such a disturbance naturally could not escape the notice of some monsters.
Especially the flying monsters. Seeing that figure darting through the air so brazenly, they immediately could not stand it.
"Caw!"
A pterosaur-like monster with bony wings let out a strange cry, flapped its wings, and charged in from ahead. Determined to swallow this arrogant "tiny" creature whole, it opened its blood-filled maw and bit down with a stench of gore.
This monster was at least level seventy. No wonder it had such a temper.
Unfortunately, it was unlucky.
Because right now, the newcomer had an even worse temper.
"Clang—!"
Just as the monster was about to pounce on its target, a frigid flash of sword light swept past at incredible speed, cutting across its neck.
"Splurt!"
Amid the sound of tearing flesh, the monster's head was completely severed, flying even higher into the sky as blood sprayed wildly from its broken neck like a fountain.
The headless corpse stiffened violently in midair, then fell alongside its own head.
A pungent smell of blood spread through the air.
The sight terrified the other monsters that had been preparing to swarm over.
Once they came to their senses, those monsters fled in a panic. Not one dared to come forward and challenge him again.
Yet that figure did not slow down in the slightest, continuing to streak ahead.
"...Sigh."
Lyd, lying atop his head, watched it all and let out a sigh.
The figure was, naturally, Shien.
At this moment, Shien was flying at top speed. He was not using Teleportation at all, simply flying onward as the fierce wind howled around
