I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

"Edgar! You are such a coward! I don't believe you ventured to the forbidden area alone!"

"Who...who said that! I've been there! Just last month! I even climbed over the hill!"

"Then you should tell me what's behind the hill!"

"Yes... there is... just like the front of the hill! They are just shrubs and weeds! There is nothing special at all!"

"No, I remember the old man in the village mentioned that there is a cliff behind the hill in the forbidden area——"

"Yes! There is a cliff! It's so high and so steep! Even the antelope can't climb it!"

"Hahahaha, I'm lying. My father participated in the big search. Behind the hills are hills. There is nothing special at all. Liar! Liar! Edgar the big liar!"

"Damn! Damn!"

A boy named Edgar was holding a stick and beating the weeds on the roadside as if to vent his anger. Then they walked step by step towards the so-called forbidden area in their village, the hills to the north.

"Isn't it just a shabby hill? I've climbed so many, why am I still scared? Look, I'm going to go to the top of the mountain and light a beacon to let those guys know that I've been up there!"

Standing at the foot of the hill, Edgar took a few more glances at this ordinary hill that he saw every day, a little hesitant.

But for the sake of his status in front of his friends, he fought hard!

Edgar began the climb.

The hill is not high, and it only takes an adult a quarter of an hour to climb to the top. At least one-third of that time is spent on the road, but this is not a threat to a child with a short stature and a flexible body. Relying on the physical strength gained from playing around with his friends for a long time, Edgar easily approached the top of the mountain.

"Isn't this nothing special? I haven't seen any evil spirits that can eat people as the old people in the village said."

Edgar muttered as he pulled away the weeds in front of him.

In front of us is the top of the mountain.

Without thinking too much, I subconsciously took a step.

Suddenly, in a daze, Edgar shook his head and felt something strange.

But I couldn’t tell where the misunderstanding came from.

"rustle--"

There was a sound not far away, like something moving in the bushes.

"Who! Who is there!"

The sudden noise startled Edgar, but he calmed down immediately.

"Akio! Radko! Is it you! You are hiding here to scare me, right?"

Edgar pretended to be calm and shouted, but received no response.

Until, a figure with a pointed head and palate, gray-white hair and upright ears, slowly poked out of the bush with a low growl of a beast.

is a wolf.

"!!!!!!"

Why are there wolves? Haven't we heard of wolves in this village for many years?

Although he was panicking inside, Edgar still remembered the words of the old man in the village.

When encountering a wolf, never turn around and run away. This will arouse the wolf's nature as a predator. You must stare at it head-on and back away slowly.

However, the wolf does not know what the creature in front of him is thinking in his heart.

There was only one thought in his head.

Bite, devour—

"Save...Save..."

It was too late to call for help. Edgar could even feel the wild and fishy smell.

I am dead.

"Ah-"

He heard the sound of flesh being torn apart and the heat of blood spurting out.

However, there was no pain as expected.

Have you been bitten by a wolf? Has your throat been ripped open? But I didn't feel any pain at all.

Could it be that he was already dead so soon?

"Hey! Are you alright!"

"what?"

He was startled when he suddenly heard a stranger's voice.

When he opened his eyes, the hungry wolf that rushed towards him had already landed on its head. The warm liquid he felt was nothing but blood spurting from the broken neck of the wolf.

Did the person in front of him save him?

"Hey! Why are you still motionless? You couldn't be scared..."

"Huh? No...no, um, thank you for saving me."

I subconsciously thanked him first, then wiped the blood from my face with my clothes, and then I could see the person in front of me clearly.

"You...are you the traveler who came yesterday?!!"

"Well, yes, it's me. Isn't this your forbidden area? Why are you here?"

Fu Er held the ax, put down the huge travel backpack behind him, and asked sideways.

"me……"

"Stop talking, I've been following you all the way. Now that everything's okay, go back quickly."

Fu'er waved his hand. He said with an indifferent expression.

"Well, won't you leave?"

"You know, there's usually more than one wolf, so for your safety, I have to get rid of them all."

"Then! Were the people who disappeared before also eaten by wolves? I'll go to the village and call for help!"

Edgar blushed and said excitedly.

"No, thank you for your kindness, but I am enough here."

Fu Er waved the ax in his hand, and then let go, causing the battle ax to dissipate automatically.

"Hey, can you see it?"

"You...you are a [Hero]?!"

"Absolutely, so don't call people to hold you back. By the way, unless there is someone in the village claiming to be from the Federation or the Administration, don't tell anyone else. This is a secret operation——"

"Roger that!"

Edgar gave a less than standard salute to Ful, and then hurriedly left here along the mountain road.

"Pfft, if nothing else, you are quite good at fooling children."

The little stone man appeared on Ful's shoulder and said with a suppressed smile.

"Don't be embarrassed, I'm doing this for their own good. And the weapons I have are just heroes' weapons. It's almost enough if I round them up. It doesn't count as lying to him."

"Okay, you are reasonable, you are right, but as a [Hero], it would be too shameful to secretly follow a little boy."

"As soon as I left the village, I heard these little guys discussing the forbidden area. Aren't I worried?"

Fu Er said righteously.

"Okay, you two, stop bickering there. Ful, get down to business."

"Oh."

Fu'er once again condensed the Disaster-breaking Battle Ax and came to the body of the wild wolf.

Of course, the so-called business was not killing the wolf, or in other words, he realized something was wrong the moment he took out his ax to kill the wolf.

There's something wrong with this wolf.

He proposed the concept of [breaking disaster] again, and then cut down on the corpse again.

Different from the strange feeling just now, this time it was more like breaking something fragile. In just a moment, the wolf's body, head, and the blood that had just been splattered all disappeared without a trace. .

"It's an illusion."

"It's an illusion."

A ghost, a stone slab, commented behind Fu'er with an understanding look.

"Nonsense! It's not like I can't see it! Let's do some useful information analysis!"

Ful shouted angrily.

"Anxious."

"Anxious."

"You fucking meow!!!"
