"B-Bloodwings...!?" The knight, Martha, gasped, her voice trembling slightly as she quickly brandished her sword…!
"That's right~," the butler, Sebas, answered smoothly, stepping forward to prepare himself for the upcoming assault. "C-Rank avian monsters known for their signature red 'bloodied' wings."
Those 'bloodied' wings—avian monsters numbering in the dozens—rose into the blue sky, soaring higher than the plateau highland. They circled the four humans below, their sharp eyes fixed on Anastasia and her servants… like birds of prey stalking their next meal.
"But there's too many of them…!" She clenched her teeth, gripping her sword tighter. "I thought they were solitary monsters—not these pack-hunting fiends...!"
"Usually, they are. However, remember, Miss Knight… this is The Garden of Hell," he explained calmly, his tone unshaken. "Different monsters adapt to different behaviors depending on the environment they live in."
