352,

Yuna wasn't worried at all.

It was confidence, a certainty that there was still no one in this continent who could match her.

This confidence was not like Cyclone's bluff, but a true conviction.

Yuna would be bestowed with the title of the strongest witch on the continent, and naturally there were reasons for it.

The multiple barriers set in the forest would trap any outsider who entered, unless they had the magical mark left by Yuna, rendering them helpless in the illusion.

One could wander in the forest, but they would never leave unless they turned back.

Furthermore, if the intruder possessed a source of magic, Yuna would sense their presence.

Therefore, Cyclone's home was safe, undetectable and silent.

With this confidence, Yuna could shout and fight without any worries.

However, there were exceptions.

Could it be that she had become too carefree? It was understandable since she had recently gained medication from her little dragon sister and toys brought back by her sister Eileen. Cyclone's fighting power had been continuously improving, and there was a possibility of relaxing in that one moment...

Yuna pondered, but in the end, she shook her head.

No, it's too difficult. Just because I've been there many times doesn't mean someone can catch me in the act and break in. In other words...

Yuna dismissed some impossible scenarios.

There were others outside the barrier. Targeting the hunting girl... Not only picky eaters, but also those who didn't accidentally wander into her barrier...

As Yuna contemplated, accompanying Cyclone, she wondered what kind of monster had come near the forest.

Finally, Cyclone found a witness, a man who claimed to have seen the creature in the morning.

"Black? Horned?"

"At least those men with torches didn't say it was you, isn't that good?"

With this evidence, Cyclone's worries disappeared.

At that moment, Yuna glared at Cyclone below.

"Oh, but it does have horns."

With a hint of joking, Yuna smirked.

"Hu-Husband? That man also said it was very huge, even taller than me!"

"I know, I know..."

After some investigation, Cyclone and Yuna determined that the creature in the forest was not them.

While the water priests were still gathering a crowd, Cyclone and Yuna had already left.

The missing girl and the monster in the forest were not matters Cyclone wanted to deal with.

However, Cyclone would still go after him.

"Wife, are you sure?"

"Yes, there are some remnants of the Source of Darkness here, just ahead."

Though she said she didn't care, Cyclone still set off.

Not for others, but for themselves.

If they let this monster continue to wreak havoc, the citizens of Babecaner City would eventually come to them.

To avoid trouble, Cyclone decided it was better to deal with the matter now.

Since Yuna was with him, there was nothing to fear.

But if any unexpected situation did arise, together with Little Dragon and Eileen, Cyclone was confident they could handle it.

The two of them arrived in front of an abandoned mansion, which was already in ruins, leaving only a wall and some skeletal remains of the house.

There shouldn't have been anything here.

But Yuna chanted a sentence towards a large stone, and the stone disappeared immediately.

"Be careful, I still can't sense a strong magical aura. The other party is either weak or has sufficient strength to hide themselves."

Beyond the large stone was a hidden passage, a staircase leading to the dungeon.

Yuna glanced at Cyclone, then looked back again.

"Follow behind me~"

"Isn't that obvious~"

Of course, Cyclone would follow Yuna. Now was not the time to act like a fool and play hero by walking ahead.

However...

"Huh?!"

Cyclone accidentally tripped over a tree root on the ground.

"Ah! Damn it!"

With a gasp, Cyclone tumbled down towards the bottom of the stairs.

"Husband?! Husband!!!"
