The girl was a descendant of the Tengu clan.
She had lived in these mountains and forests since childhood, and was extremely familiar with every plant and tree here.
She had originally thought she would live a carefree life in these mountains, passing her days peacefully.
But at some unknown point, monsters appeared, suddenly breaking the tranquility of the mountains.
The monster was a brown bear corrupted by evil energy, having lost its sanity.
When it stood upright, it was taller than a human.
Trees were like paper in front of it, completely unable to withstand a single blow.
Not only that, but this monster could also spew dark purple flames from its mouth.
Wherever the flames reached, they would burn everything to ashes.
To protect the peace of the mountains, the young girl unhesitatingly decided to stand up and fight the monster.
Possessing the power of the Tengu, she could not bear to watch the monster wantonly destroy her home.
The girl exploited the monster's clumsy movements, seizing the time difference to launch an attack.
Having lived in the mountains for many years, the girl had made herself a hunting bow.
Although the hunting bow was roughly and simply made, it was more than enough for daily hunting.
The girl drew her bow, aimed at the beast's weak point, and shot an arrow cleanly and decisively.
However, the monster had thick skin and tough flesh, and its fur was like a layer of armor.
These arrows were merely an itch to the monster, like a light scratch.
But the girl still persisted in drawing her bow and shooting arrows,
because this was the only thing she could do at the moment.
However, all of this seemed like a provocation in the monster's eyes; its emotions became increasingly out of control, and it charged wildly towards the girl.
Seeing this, the girl could only use the terrain to fight and retreat.
Unbeknownst to her, she had already been forced onto the edge of a cliff by the monster.
Behind the girl was a bottomless abyss; if she fell, she would definitely be smashed to pieces.
At this moment, the monster caught up, opening its mouth and spewing purple flames.
Seeing this, the girl quickly spread the black wings behind her and swiftly dodged.
Although she escaped, her small body could not withstand such an impact, and she fell heavily to the ground.
At this moment, the girl looked somewhat disheveled; her originally clean and fair face was covered in dirt, and her simple clothes were torn beyond recognition.
The girl shakily stood up; she could feel that her strength had reached its limit.
The air she breathed felt like flames entering her lungs, making tears flow uncontrollably from her eyes.
Her wings behind her also throbbed with excruciating pain; even a slight movement would pull at her muscles and bones.
Things couldn't get any worse.
But even so, the girl did not show any expression of fear or timidity.
She reached out and vigorously wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes fixed on the monster in front of her.
She once again took her hunting bow, aimed at the beast, and shot an arrow.
This was what the girl could do at the moment, and the only thing she could do.
It was just a pity...
The effect was minimal.
The beast roared, then charged furiously towards the girl.
Before, the girl could have used her small body to dodge the beast,
but prolonged combat had left her severely wounded, and all her strength was exhausted.
"I thought with my abilities, I could protect these mountains forever..."
"It seems I can't..."
The girl murmured softly.
It was at this moment that a lightning-like pattern, resembling an eye, appeared above her head.
The pattern was composed of lightning, sacred and majestic, containing unparalleled power.
Before the girl could react, the lightning from above her head struck down, landing directly on the girl's hunting bow.
At that moment, purple lightning covered the entire hunting bow.
The girl could clearly feel a burning sensation from the hunting bow in her hand.
That heat was not scalding, but a kind of indescribable warmth.
The girl's expression was somewhat dazed,
because, due to the lightning's embrace, the hunting bow in her hand seemed to have instantly improved by several levels.
Compared to before, there was a world of difference.
Before the girl could figure out what was happening,
dazzling purple lightning flashed around her body.
By the time the girl reacted, she was already bathed in a sea of light.
The girl could feel her body's fatigue vanish instantly.
Not only that, but all the injuries she had sustained earlier were completely healed in an instant.
It was this magical purple light that brought her power.
The girl also noticed that a Vision had appeared on her waist at some unknown time.
At this moment, that Vision was exceptionally bright, with surging purple lightning pouring out, its light enough to illuminate the night sky.
Seeing this scene, the girl was slightly stunned.
Was this... the gaze of a god upon her?
The girl had no time to think; she simply drew her hunting bow and aimed at the monster in front of her again.
The monster also sensed a huge change in the girl's aura.
Its roars were no longer filled with anger, but with trembling and fear.
As the girl released her hand, the arrow seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, shooting straight forward.
The arrow was so powerful that it seemed to tear the night apart.
Accompanied by the sound of tearing air, the monster, which had been so imposing, collapsed with a crash.
Even with its thick skin and tough flesh, under that ultimate arrow, the monster had no room to resist whatsoever.
The girl stared blankly at the scene before her, feeling it was incredibly unbelievable.
She knew deep down that her own strength was far from enough to kill the monster,
It was the sudden gaze from above her head and the appearance of the Vision that helped her accomplish this.
At this moment, the girl heard a sound behind her; she sharply turned to look.
The girl noticed that someone was rapidly approaching the cliff.
Looking closely, that person had the exact same lightning pattern above his head as the girl.
Although the patterns were identical, the lightning emanating from that person was even more intense and majestic,
like a god.
When she saw this scene, the girl was completely stunned.
Was that gaze and the Vision, all bestowed upon her by this older brother?
