At that moment, a whistle sounded from the forest.

“It seems to be starting. Let’s hurry.”

“Yes, let’s go.”

I replied bravely.

Then, I turned into a hedgehog.

Well, from a while ago, I’ve been thinking, it’s best to protect my own body. I stick close to Idriche to make sure the curse doesn’t get stronger.

Idriche, who had turned into a white tiger, lifted me slightly with his mouth and settled on his neck. My whole body was almost hidden in the fluffy fur.
I grabbed his fur tightly with my mouth and four paws.

As agreed, I rolled his neck twice with my hind legs.

Idriche, confirming that I had taken my position, leaped up.

Kyahuhuk, today is so spectacular! How many times are we going to soar!

Idriche ran to the sound with me on his back.

The place was already a mess. The deforestation site, caused by explosives dropped by a squirrel from a tree, was a mess, and two eagles were rapidly patrolling around a tree to catch the culprit.

There must be a squirrel being-something in that hole.

It was a tactic that only wild animals could unfold.

Idriche silently climbed up to a tree a little away. His giant body was unbelievably light.

Then, hiding, he approached the direction where the eagles were patrolling. We held our breath, waiting for the right timing.

‘Is it okay if there are two at once?’

Our plan was like this.

Squirrel beings infiltrate the entire forest, throwing explosives from top to bottom.

Then, the eagle, Agila, who was watching, will turn into an eagle and fly up. At that time, the squirrel beings will hide in small tree holes.

When the eagle tries to break the hole where the squirrel is hiding, that’s when we wait for the timing.

Idriche will shine at that moment, catching the eagle and cutting off its life.

It was a plan that utilized the small physique of the squirrel beings, the topography of the forest, and Idriche’s ability to control fire.

In addition, the squirrel beings scattered sporadically to prevent Agila’s forces from gathering in one place.

Idriche shook his body and lowered me onto the tree. He seemed ready to go and fight.

No, I want to go too. What if the curse worsens suddenly while fighting?

I hesitated, not wanting to send Idriche alone, but with my current hedgehog body, I couldn’t persuade him or stop him.

Idriche jumped into the air towards the eagles.

He caught the flying eagle in an instant. He grabbed its neck and slammed it to the ground. While one of them was thrown to the ground, another eagle attacked Idriche.

In terms of brute force, Idriche was overwhelming. However, the opponent was an eagle. Facing someone who dodges attacks and fights in the air didn’t seem easy.

If this continued, the plan would be a mess.

It would be a disaster if another eagle came.

Then, I saw a pile of scattered weapons on the messy ground.

Despite the explosion, there seemed to be a usable bow in the middle of the chaos.

If I had that, could I help Idriche? If there’s a brief moment when he can attack.

Ever since receiving the bow from Terminus, I’ve been practicing whenever I had a chance.

It was because I didn’t want to just stand still like a fool in moments like this.
Of course, my skills were still pathetic… but at least I could divert attention for a moment.

I transformed into a human and descended from the tree.

Fortunately, the eagle being, preoccupied with fighting Idriche, didn’t notice me.

I grabbed the bow, aimed at the eagle, and shot.

Aiming at a moving target was not easy. Even a stationary target missed five out of ten shots, could I hit that one?

The bow was larger and more powerful than mine, shaking my arms.

No, this would make it even harder to hit accurately. Just a little more, I have to endure a little more.

I held my breath and pulled the bowstring to the maximum.

The arrow flew with a ping sound, but it couldn’t even get close to the eagle.

I just drew the eagle’s attention for nothing.

The eagle let out a loud cry and flew towards me. With each flap of its large wings, the eagle in front of me grew larger.

Without hesitation, I grabbed another arrow. It was the last one.

Since it’s coming straight at me, it should be easier to hit than before.

I pulled the bowstring tight again. The weary arm couldn’t hold for long, and I shot the arrow.

“Kweeek!”
