[True beastman leader, Dark Lion, Simba point of view]
Strong. The serial killer dwarf is a foe to be reckoned with. I'm sure I can win the battle, but at a steep price, something that I could not afford to do now
(Plus, if I can get that Avery girl, and went to the tree of life, my power would exponentially increase) [Simba]
It's rather unfortunate that Motra's plan fail. Should he/she successfully carried out her last minute sloppy plan, I would use my force to conquer the dungeon that house the tree of Life, mother earth as well as the Fairy queen, the holy beast of Mirage, Titania. Plus, one of the reason why my subordinates are angry with him/her is because they make our plan on kidnapping the Avery harder. Still, I wouldn't be mad at him/her. His/her action bring light to the Avery location, and also serve as learning process on how we should kidnap that girl
"Ouch..." [Horse beastman]
"That damn dwarf" [Lizard beastman]
"If it wasn't for boss, our force might be wiped out single handedly by him" [Tiger beastman]
"Still, we loss 1/5th of our men. Just how did he find us? And why did he attack us?" [Cat beastman]
"We are lucky this portal stone Agnes and Angela provided for us come in handy, but now damn! We can't invade Estel easily" [Horse beastman]
"Guess we have to use the ancient tunnel like always" [Grasshopper beastman]
Good questions indeed from that cat. I can understand that if he found all of us by sheer coincidence. It's still believable. But, to attack an army single handedly is plain absurd. He is either overly confident about his ability or he just loses all of his judgement capability. Still, that doesn't justify any motive. Is he doing it for fun? No, before we are transported, he said
"I'll come and find you. Again and again, for Karon's sake" [Serial killer dwarf]
Karon? Who is he? And
(His red bloody eyes. It's an eye of predator eating predator. He's serious, and he will definitely find us once more until each and every single once of us are devoured by him) [Simba]
To think a dark lion like me felt like a prey. How gruesome. I should change my plan as to make the behemoth slayer and the serial killer dwarf clash

[Saint Louis point of view]
"AARGGHH!" [Slave trader A]
"That bloody saint!" [Slave trader B]
"That is his title after all. The cold blooded bloody saint" [Dark guild member A]
"Again. I ask you. I don't have the capacity to drag you into nearby authority. Those in Kiserre already have their hand full, and I don't want to burden them. Please, repent to Goddess Achalasia and cease this action of slave trading" [Saint Louis]
"Yeah yeah. I repent, so please, move!" [Dark guild B]
"Sigh... Light needles" [Saint Louis]
Bloody saint. How fitting and unfitting at the same time. My hand is tainted with blood, might be more tainted than those from dark guild, but my method of killing them remain the same. A fine countless light needles piercing the spot in between of their eyebrows, and this needles will microexplode once they reach the brain stem, quickly killing them.

Looks like the slaves aren't nearby. From the scene of wreck carriage and the nearby trees being pushed sideways, I can deduce what happen. A large boa monster must have chased them, and in order to escape, they threw those slaves outside to slow the boa down, hoping the slave that was eaten alive slow the boa down, but seeing as how there are only few of them, that boa size must be a large one. For that, they threw multiple people at once but failed nonetheless
(I should look for the remaining survivor) [Saint Louis]
As I went deeper and deeper into the forest, I can sense that the monsters are getting stronger and stronger, but they must have instinctively avoiding me as my light affinity is off the chart, making them scare
~Loud tree rustling~
"Can I assume you're the one eating all of them?" [Saint Louis]
The towering boa, regurgitating some of the inedible cloth of his prey. A toy, a doll, and a shoe of an old man.
"Sorry, before you eat other, I have to finish you off" [Saint Louis]
It might be weaker than a behemoth, but a towering boa is an A rank monster nonetheless. It's cunning, but it is quite predictable. I just have to hide all my mana before
~Charge~
"Giant light knight golem" [Saint Louis]
I summon two of my large knight golem, and make them hold the towering boa, with one of them keeping the jaw of the boa open before
"This is the quickest and most efficient method, and I'm sorry if you feel any pain and suffering" [Saint Louis]
Gathering all my light mana into my staff, I fire off a strong beam of light laser into the boa. The light laser fill the circumference of the boa inner esophagus, stomach and intestines, making it bloated, until it explode. Good thing I already prepare light dome shield surrounding me, or else my cloth will be tainted will blood and viscera raining from above. Ash receive the title behemoth slayer because he solo a behemoth, guess I am now a boa slayer.
"There are some remnants of the slave, I should bury them as to..." [Saint Louis]
"Ohh, but they are alive" [?]
"Who's there!" [Saint Louis]
Thick mist made out of mirage magic suddenly appear. The concentration of mirage magic mana are astronomical to say the least. I can feel multiple small dormant fairies flying around before
"You guys are?" [Saint Louis]
"Are you the one that fairy mentioned? Saint Louis?" [Middle age man]
"Yes. I am Saint Louis" (How did the fairy know who I am?) [Saint Louis]
"Thank goodness we are safe!" [Middle age woman]
"So, we just have to follow this will o wisp now?" [Young boy]
"That's what the fairy said" [young girl]
"Then let us get going!" [Teenage boy]
"Huh? I mean, yes" [Saint Louis]
I don't have much of a choice here. As our group of almost 15 people keep on following the will o wisp, I emit my light mana as to detect the source of origin of this mist. It felt, near endless, and not mention,
(It might feel like we are going straight, but we actually take quite a few turn, even as far as entering the cave and moving downward) [Saint Louis]
I guess we are inside the ancient tunnel now. The light magic I emitted being reflected back onto me, suggesting a tunnel like structure, but the mist are still here, until
"There's the exit!" [Young girl]
"Hurry!" [Teenage boy]
"Don't run!" [Middle age woman]
"This is..." [Saint Louis]
The first floor of the forest dungeon! I can see the stair leading to tunnel entrance to Kiserre side of the dungeon from a far! How?
"The mist is thinning!" [Dwarf]
"Thank goodness we are safe" [Middle age man]
"For now, let us exit the dungeon" [Saint Louis]
"Right!" [Other]
How mysterious. Just as the last bit of mist gone
(Please, take care of the Avery, dear saint beloved by Goddess) [?]
A figure of an adult woman with a fairy wing. It's said that most fairies typically look like a little girl, and the larger the fairy is, the stronger they are. But that just now, is the figure of an adult woman...
I manage to caught a glimpse of the Fairy queen, Titania
