Bab 88: The Twilight of Winter (Part II)

"Take it easy. It hasn't come yet." Roland sighed as he watched the eager Lightning.

God only knew why she was so interested in challenging demonic beasts. Obviously, she was not cut out for battle, but yet she was hardly frightened of the demonic beasts that scared most people. "Do it the same way you dealt with the first one. Leave your bravado behind. Your job is to draw the beast's attention and lure it here. Watch the height you fly at in case the beasts pounces up to strike you."

"I know. I know," Lightning said, brimming with confidence, "I've learned all the details from the fight against the first beast. Give me some credit. I won't let this one touch me at all."

While they were talking, the demonic hybrid beast was approaching the wall. It crossed the obstacle belt and sprung over the city wall towards the unguarded area. This time, the Militia members did not respond but stayed where they were deployed, waiting for the instruction from the hunter observers.
