Two painful hours pass, Mikey and Miyu are freezing as they wander through the forest. Thankfully, it seems to be getting warmer as they slowly but surely reach the purple forest biome and the area is less and less snowy.

Few more minutes pass when Mikey and Miyu finally leave the snowy biome completely and are in a warm biome again, they take off their jackets.

"Keep it if you want, I don't have space in my inventory anyway." Mikey says.

"Sure, I will." Miyu stores the jacket in her inventory.

"However, I think this is where we part ways." She says.

"Where do you plan to go?" Mikey asks.

"To be honest, I have absolutely no clue, but since I have my passive invisibility, it's better for me to go by myself." Miyu says and turns the other way.

Mikey and Miyu fistbump eachother and both head their ways.

"Miyu, I hope we meet again." Mikey says. Miyu smiles and dissapears.

About ten more minutes of walking passes and Mikey is starting to feel something. He always has this feeling whenever there is danger around him.

In that exact moment, a spear pierces his leg from behind.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" He says. "I can't catch a fucking break." He groans in frustration and pain, this is probably the fifth time someone tried to kill him.

Mikey quickly turns around and sees a player behind him. This person has long brown hair and a wolf mask over their face. They are covered in an armor made out of wolf skin.

The nunber above the player's head reads ninety-nine with a bounty of two thousand Emerald Nuggets.

Mikey gets surrounded by wolves from all sides who suddenly reveal themselves, he hadn't noticed them up until now.

"Mikey Hunt, do you know how wolves hunt?" The person asks with a feminine voice, which implies that she is very likely a woman.

"Tell me, how do wolves hunt?" Mikey asks, he's simply buying time because he knows that Lucy must be nearby.

"The wolf pack separates out and surrounds its prey. They only reveal themselves once their prey is injured and can't run away." She says.

"Can't run away?" Mikey asks and pulls out the spear out of his leg.

"Who said anything about running away?" Mikey asks again. His black aura surrounds him. The aura around him is quite scary, which makes some of the wolves hesitate, but once they look at their leader, the woman, they regain their mental fortitude and lock in on Mikey. Mikey's eyes become cloudy as his still unknown "Deranged Fighter" ability activates.

The woman throws up a strange hand sign which looks like a wolf. All of the wolves charge at Mikey the exact moment she does that.

Mikey pulls out his Duskblade and aims it at the woman, he teleports behind her. The woman realizes it and points at one of her wolves, which allows her to switch position with that wolf in an instant.

Mikey slashes the wolf and cuts off its head. His eyes are cloudy, the same way they were against Arthur.

"So you can teleport too. Well, it doesn't matter."

The wind gathers around Mikey's feet and he feels as light as a feather. He dashes to the woman so fast that it almost seems like an instant teleportation to her. Mikey punches the woman, this time she doesn't teleport and takes the full impact of the punch, she is sent flying head first into a tree.

"That was much easier than I thought it would be." Mikey says and puts his duskblade away. His eyes appear normal again.

Even though I am saying that, I used about all of my remaining strenght there, not gonna lie. Mikey thinks to himself and looks at his leg. The leg is slowly regenerating and the pain from the spear is being suppresed by his Durable ability.

One wolf suddenly pops, quite literally, as if a bomb exploded inside its body. The woman stands up and is completely unscathed.

"So you sacrificed one of your wolves to save yourself." Mikey says.

"That's right, I also know that you are on the brink of passing out, just surrender already." She says.

Mikey smiles nervously, his aura dissapears. He puts his hands above his head and says: "Sure, come finish me off."

The woman is completely shocked, she didn't expect Mikey to give up so easily.

Does he have a trick up his sleeve? Or perhaps he can still keep fighting? No matter! She throws up the wolf handsign again and five wolves head for Mikey, who tries fighting them off, he manages to slowly defeat all five of them, but they leave their marks. They managed to bite Mikey several times before he killed all of them.

The woman starts slowly walking towards Mikey, pulling out another spear out of her inventory, and aiming it at Mikey. That's when she hears a Dragon's Roar. Shivers come down her spine as she turns around and sees LUCY flying at her with a hybrid dragon of Fire and Water.

Half of Lucy's hair is red, the other half is blue. Just like the Dragon. The look on her face is completely hostile towards the woman.

A familiar face appears in front of Mikey. It's the number three ranked woman with angelic appearance again. The one who saved him after his fight with Arthur.

She doesn't say a word, she only puts her hand on Mikey's forehead and casts a healing spell on him, after that, she dissapears.

The woman sends all of her wolves into different directions and starts running away too. Lucy chases her for good two minutes while hunting down her wolves aswell so that she can't switch her positions.

(Lucy was watching Mikey's fight this whole time with her attribute, so she kinda knows the woman's abilities)

However, the woman eventually gets away. During the chase, Lucy set several trees on fire. She uses the Dragon's water abilities to put out the fire, she flies to Mikey and the Dragon dissapears.

After landing on the ground, Lucy is hit with the backlash of her attribute, which surprisingly isn't that bad, only a few burns marks and wet clothes.

She quickly runs up to Mikey, jumps on him and hugs him, after a few seconds, she drops down."If you EVER, EVER separate from me AGAIN, I'll beat you up!" She shouts at Mikey with a really angry expression and voice.

Now that Mikey recalls it, he always separated from the entire group by simply being Unlucky.

First time on the cursed island, second time when he ran into Arthur's trap, and the third time, when Miyu used her domain on Mikey.

"You understand?" Lucy asks.

"Yeah, but it's not like I wanted to separate from you or the others, surely you get that right?" Mikey asks.

"Yes, but I don't care." Lucy says, Mikey looks at her with an expression that clearly says "Are you serious right now?"

Lucy bursts out in laugh and says: "No, don't worry Mikey, HOWEVER, from now on, you will always stay with me, and I mean it. I can't have you getting separated again. You almost died, AGAIN!"

Lucy hands Mikey a strange black stone.

"What's this?" Mikey asks.

"It's an item that I found, I wanna test out how exactly it works, just put it in your inventory." She answers.

"Oh, this is really convenient." Mikey says

"I know right?" Lucy replies.
