Above Frost-Wolf Forest and White Wolf City, McLaren Blue Dragon and Milojevic White Bear circled astride their respective mounts. Lord Blue Dragon's timely arrival allowed Landen to shift his attention away from the Bear Knight and deal with the Demigod Witch.

"Heh. She slept through the war against the Beastmen, and she slept through the war against the Devil Race too. Yet now, when it comes to dealing with the hero who defeated the Beastmen, she's going for the kill..." McLaren remarked meaningfully.
