The Mist Mane Lion is one of the monsters located in the deepest parts of the Misty Forest. It might not have been an overlord of the deepest part, but it is still relatively strong in that area. The fact that it is now using the ruined settlement as its territory is very troubling.

The Mist Mane Lion is a three-meter-tall pale gray lion with its mane being made of mist. It is different from the Mist Panther as it does not have invisibility abilities, but it has one troublesome ability. It could quasi teleport using the mist as long as it is inside of it.

It could travel using the mist by transforming its body to mist in a short duration. Not only is the Mist Mane Lion invisible during the process, but it is also immune to physical attacks as long as it is in mist form. The two of them did not wait for the Mist Mane Lion to notice them as they immediately retreated.

They immediately returned to the direction of the group and reported their findings. Even Elder Ceo is not confident that they could defeat the Mist Mane Lion. It is powerful enough to even scare the Mist Panther. They need some sort of plan if they are going to defeat it but driving it away is what she thinks is the most viable option.

"Do you think we could defeat it?" Levin Cloud asked as he is still looking at the possibility of defeating the Mist Mane Lion.

"I do not know yet. I did get the description of the monster. It is considered as a field boss, so the fight is definitely difficult." Solstice stated as she presented the description of the monster.

"So, it killed the monster without even getting injured. I guess it is a monster from the deepest parts, but a field boss is a different struggle. Do you think we can win?" Creepysoo stated.

"I think that we can win since most of us deal magic damage. Even the blood sword that big sis uses can deal magic damage when she is in that form. Our only problem would be the fact that we need to keep them alive." Levin Cloud muttered as he looked towards Elder Ceo and the others.

"What is our action plan, esteemed guardian? It seems that the Mist Mane Lion's territory is our ruined settlement. We can divert its attention, but we might sacrifice one of us in order to do that." Elder Ceo stated as one of the warriors have already decided to be the bait if they are to lure away the Mist Mane Lion.

"No need to bait it away as we do not know if it would actually follow anyone that provokes it. We need to plan out our attack. We need to at least incapacitate it if we cannot kill it." Levin Cloud stated.

He knows that it is a tall order to kill the Mist Mane Lion field boss but if they can incapacitate it then they would have free reign in the ruined settlement. The plan that Levin Cloud thought of is to make sure that the Mist Mane Lion is not able to stand up. They need ton only prioritize the legs so that it will not be able to move.

Levin Cloud thought of this plan because the mist elves are great archers that their aim is steady even mounted. They can definitely strike the Mist Mane Lion's legs even if they are riding their mounts. The plan of action is to make sure that the field boss is not able to move. The best-case scenario would be killing it.

Upon agreeing to the plan, the group finally moved towards the ruined settlement. The body of the prey that the Mist Mane Lion defeated is no longer at the entrance. Even Levin Cloud could not detect the Mist Mane Lion near them which means it has already retreated deeper into the ruined settlement.

The ruined settlement is different from their new one as there were some buildings. It seems that the Mist Elves also had a progressive civilization back then, but the current generation has regressed. They had no choice to turn back to primitive ways as they needed to be strong in order to live in the Misty Forest.

"Where do you think it is?" Creepysoo asked.

"I can faintly feel its presence in that direction." Levin Cloud stated as he pointed towards a large dead tree silhouette.

"That should be the previous body of the guardian. It dares to disrespect our heroic guardian! We shall kill this beast for desecrating its holy body." Elder Ceo stated as she got enraged.

"Being mad is good and all but it seems that it also knows that we are in its territory. It started to move from its location." Levin Cloud stated but he suddenly lost track of the presence of the Mist Mane Lion.

The next moment, a large feline creature suddenly appeared behind Elder Ceo and her Mist Panther. It seems that they were the first target as they have been judged as the most powerful among them. The two mist elves moved to block the attack, but they are not fast enough.

The claw of the Mist Mane Lion is crashing down towards Elder Ceo and she is unable to dodged. Levin Cloud reacted immediately and dedicated the area where she is as a Sanctuary. The area around Elder Ceo and the two mist elves suddenly glowed as a pillar of golden light came own upon them.
