Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Sofia squinted her eyes, staring intently into the depths of the dense forest.

"..."

Just now, she clearly felt a strange force slowly invading her territory.

Those guys first probed cautiously, and then boldly stormed in when they determined there was no threat.

Arrogant!

So outrageously arrogant!

Sofia's expression grew colder and colder, her agile lower half, like that of a steed, firmly rooted in the ground.

She didn't make any rash moves but instead pretended to notice nothing, continuing to observe quietly.

Quickly, her gaze penetrated the mist and fell upon the figure gradually approaching from afar.

Though she couldn't truly see the other's appearance, their aura was as conspicuous to her as someone holding a torch in the dark.

It was a Legendary Demon!

Sofia had no recollection of this aura.

A newly ascended Legendary creature?

Just reached Legendary and already wants to challenge me as the Lord?

Do they all think I'm easy to bully?

Ha!

Upon confirming the general strength of the enemy, Sofia revealed a disdainful smile.

"Hmph, a bunch of idiots, even you dare to provoke me!"

She lifted her hand, feigning to grasp an illusory spear out of thin air.

Buzz.

Sofia squinted her eyes, once again confirming the opponent's position, and fiercely hurled the spear imbued with Legendary aura.

Whoosh—

The moment the spear was thrown, it vanished without stirring the air, but the next moment, it landed right in front of the invader, digging deep into the ground!

And along with the spear came a cold warning.

"Get out of here!"

Though Sofia was angry, she didn't immediately act.

This was merely a warning.

She was abiding by the rules of the Misty Mountains.

The demons living in the Misty Mountains have always adhered to ancient laws.

When a demon's strength enters a new realm, they then devise ways to expand their territory.

Once the expansion reaches its limit, they choose to invade another demon's territory, confronting the territory's Lord.

After a brutal fight, the victor claims the territory.

Such battles are extremely fierce, so generally, both parties do not wish for them to occur.

When others mistakenly enter their territory, the Lord first issues a warning, declaring their ownership of the territory.

If the other party retreats, the battle can be avoided.

But if the other remains stubborn, the battle will unfold.

Now, Sofia has issued a warning, urging them to leave her territory quickly.

If they obediently listen, she might let bygones be bygones as if it never happened.

But the response from the other side made Sofia lower her eyes slightly, unable to suppress a cold smile.

"Heh heh..."

Upon realizing Sofia had detected them, instead of retreating, they blatantly stopped the pretense altogether.

In their initial panic, those guys brazenly rushed in.

Feeling the provocation, Sofia's smile turned even colder.

"Fine, you brought this upon yourselves!"

The centaur female warrior let out a low growl, announcing her anger to the entire territory.

"I will make you understand that you have stepped into a place you should not have entered!"

"All of you will pay... the price!"

At this moment, she no longer gave the enemy time to think. Suddenly exerting force, her hind legs kicked, and her entire body leaped into the air, running directly in mid-air.

She was going to give those fools a painful lesson!

The centaur heroic spirit quickly vanished, her figure hiding within the mist as if she had never appeared.

Soon after Sofia left, the once-quiet lake surface rippled again, as if some creature was probing the outside world.

After a moment's hesitation, instead of advancing toward the previous direction, the lake water slowly moved in the direction Sofia had gone.

...

Sofia ran in the high skies, her hooves stepping on mist, crossing half the territory within moments to reach the enemy's position.

But just before acting, Sofia's eyes widened in shock.

"This is!!?"

She saw the enemy's form.

Mist Ghost Wolves.

But it wasn't just one as she sensed.

Instead, it was a whole mountain of wolves!

The numbers were wrong!

Over a thousand Mist Ghost Wolves surged like a pale tide, their eyes glinting an eerie green light, casting a chilling glow in the dim light.

They all simultaneously lifted their heads, staring intensely at the approaching Sofia, revealing grim smiles.

Something's wrong.

It's a trap!

"..."

Sofia stood in mid-air, squinting as she looked at the lead wolf in the center of the pack.

The head wolf noticed Sofia's gaze, slowly standing up, emerging from the pack.

It was several times larger than a normal Ghost Wolf, its pitch-black fur spiked like needles, with a ghostly blue fire burning on its body, its eyes filled with ferocity and cunning.

This was a Legendary level Mist Ghost Wolf!

In a group where the general strength was only Middle Tier, with very few reaching High Tier, a king surpassing all its kind was born.

Legendary Demon, Mist Ghost Wolf King!

Sofia squinted, looking down from high skies at the wolf pack below.

Even though she didn't know how the Ghost Wolf King managed to conceal the aura of these thousands of kin, these Ghost Wolves with only High Tier and Middle Tier strength posed no real threat to her.
