He could not believe his eyes. The woman that was under him at the moment was someone he knew really well.

Dozens of questions quickly ran through his mind as he stared down at her. She appeared to be experiencing the same, but immediately realizing the position they were currently in, Morgana swiftly pushed him away.

Ignoring how she pushed him, Emery asked the first question that ran through his mind, "Morgana! Why are you here!?"

The girl looked at him with a sharp gaze in response before saying, "I was gonna ask the same to you!"

Emery wanted to ask her more about various things, but the words got stuck in his throat as he noticed something. Morgana had been holding her arm the entire time, with blood dripping between her fingers. She was injured.

He wanted to approach her to check on Morgana's injury, as it seemed quite bad, but she hastily stepped back and shouted to remind him, "Don't worry about me, worry about what's coming!"

Ever since he arrived on this island, he had always felt it was strange. That feeling amplified when his spirit reading got distracted when he tried to get a read. Fortunately, even so, he could still use his senses. At this moment, he could hear noises coming from behind the trees, as well as a certain smell of something rushing toward them.

Morgana noticed it as well. She turned her gaze back to Emery and urgently demanded, "Give me a weapon!"

Without delay, Emery threw the sword in his hand toward her and pulled out another one from his spatial storage. At that exact time, he could hear a loud growl quickly closing in on them. Immediately after, they saw the creature finally jump out of the treelines.

It was a wolf beast.

The beast was exactly as the old woman described. The wolf was actually even bigger than a bear, its pitch black fur appeared to be sharp like a sword, and its large fangs, sharp claws and two pairs of red eyes could make anyone tremble in fear. Noticing Emery's presence, the beast stared at him for a while, before returning its gaze toward Morgana.

Seeing the direction of its gaze, Emery quickly casted [Blink] to appear right in front of Morgana, obviously trying to protect the wounded girl.

Unfortunately, Emery's gesture of kindness was not appreciated. Out of his expectations, Morgana used the sword he previously gave to slash his hips.

Splat!!

Her actions caught Emery off-guard, causing him to drop to a half-kneel on the ground from the pain. He wanted to ask her why, but his question was immediately answered.

"It's my hunt!" Morgana simply stated and right after, her four limbs transformed and she with enhanced speed and strength, she swiftly charged at the wolf with her sword.

At that moment, the wolf also charged at her with its fangs, but Morgana was able to find the right timing and immediately dodged toward the ground. She instantly side-stepped and stabbed the wolf's side without hesitation. Although it only made a shallow wound, she was actually quite surprised with the sword Emery gave to her.

Not willing to lose her chance she hastily pushed her sword across the wolf's body in an attempt to make a long cut through the wolf's side,

Blood dripping on teh wolf side and the large wolf howled in pain. To her surprise, the wolf slammed its entire body toward her and threw her away a few meters back in retaliation. In an instant, her body smashed onto a tree, the impact causing her to spit out blood.

Seizing the moment, the wolf quickly charged toward her, but right when it was only a meter away from her, its advance halted. Its body as well as all its limbs were entangled by what seemed to be a mix of various plant roots.

[Entangled], a tier-one plant spell.

Ever since the spirit seed bloomed, Emery regained the ability to cast tier-one spells; [Entangled] was one of them. Moreover, it was a tier-one spell with a powerful spirit force of over 500.

The large wolf was held down. It tried using its claws and fangs to cut the roots and break free, but more roots began tying it down just as the wolf managed to cut a portion of it, entangling the beast even more tightly.

Morgana looked at it with mixed feelings. Even so, it didn't last long. After all, how could she have the heart to waste such a good opportunity? Without hesitation, she raised the tier one sword Emery previously gave her and stabbed the wolf on its neck.

The large beast howled loudly. It tried its hardest to struggle and, using the last of its strength, it managed to break away from the entangling roots and swiftly rushed back to the woods.

Seeing this, Morgana screamed in irritation. She swiftly used her half-transformation on her feet to catch up to the escaping wolf, only to end up falling as she was about to chase after it.

Emery stood up and quickly rushed toward the girl who was panting loudly for the pain. There were numerous bruises all over her body. Not to mention, she was bleeding profusely from her shoulder.

He reached out his arm to her with the intention to help, but Morgana resisted. At first, he thought of just letting it go since she didn't want his help, but seeing the flowing blood, Emery decided to be forceful. He carried her regardless of her unwillingness and laid her back to a tree before tearing the clothes on her shoulder.

Seeing his actions, Morgana only looked away in embarrassment. Emery silently examined her shoulder injury. It appeared that at some point, the wolf managed to bite her shoulder.

Unfortunate as it was, Emery was currently only capable of casting tier-one spells, so he was unable to cast [Nature's Blessing] to heal her. Not yet, at least.

Emery used his spatial storage, took out his healing paste and began to gently apply the paste on her shoulder. The application took some time. After all, the bite wound on her shoulder could not be considered small at all.

"You better explain to me what just happened," Emery sternly demanded.

He then applied some of the past to the injury on his hips, on the sword injury from Morgana.

Morgana stayed quiet for a while, before slowly whispering, "I'm sorry I hurt you... but it's my hunt teh wolf is mine!"
