At dawn, two uninvited guests arrived at the boundary gate of Little Garden's Fourth Outer Layer.
A guard stationed at the gate, belonging to Thousand Eyes, the largest commonality in the Fourth Outer Layer, was awakened by a special light flashing from the gate and hastily stood up.
This unusual light indicated not intra-layer transportation, but transportation from a higher layer to a lower one.
This meant a high-ranking individual from at least the Third Outer Layer had arrived.
The guard thought nervously. As a faint, brilliant light appeared, a bone-chilling wave of cold slowly spread.
The guard shivered, unprepared for the sudden chill.
Is it that person again? Didn't she come yesterday? Why is she here again today?
The familiar chill instantly revealed the visitor's identity, making the guard straighten up. In fact, under the assault of this cold, it was difficult to remain lax.
"Wel… welcome to the Fourth Outer Layer, 3345 Outer Gate, Queen Halloween-sama. I hope you enjoy your stay."
He straightened, reciting the welcome speech he knew by heart. Only then did the guard notice that, besides Queen Halloween—the woman with ice-blue hair and a gray robe—another, unfamiliar, small girl had arrived.
And judging by Queen Halloween's humble posture, the small girl was clearly the leader.
Who is this girl?! To have Queen Halloween, a high-ranking executive of the terrifying 'Scourge Legion' commonality of the Third Layer, treat her with such deference?
She was a loli, no taller than a meter thirty, with purple hair.
The guard glanced at her, then paled, breaking into a cold sweat, bowing his head in abject terror. He almost knelt before the two women.
The girl wore a black bodysuit, perfectly outlining her slender frame. Her thin, beautiful legs were exposed, a delicate dragon tail swayed behind her, her purple hair nearly reached the ground, dark red spiral dragon horns stood tall, and her crimson eyes curiously examined her surroundings.
The guard's terror was simple: the girl's features revealed she was a dragon.
And a dragon who commanded such respect from Queen Halloween, a high-ranking executive of the 'Scourge Legion,' was undoubtedly a pure-blooded dragon! One of Little Garden's three strongest races!
"Interesting, this is the Fourth Outer Layer? Little Kk, where is that person you mentioned who might be one?"
Even the emotionless Queen Halloween twitched at the nickname "Little Kk." She quickly recovered her composure and answered calmly.
"Reporting, my lady, in the No Name commonality of the Seventh Outer Layer."
"Ah… the Seventh Layer, how boring. Let's not waste time here. Let's go to the lower-layer transportation gate."
"Yes, my lady."
Queen Halloween nodded slightly and led the purple-haired loli away from the boundary gate.
Only after they were gone did the guard, who had almost prostrated himself, breathe a sigh of relief.
He was still alive… he'd heard Queen Halloween called "Little Kk" and was still alive… terrifying! Who is this pure-blooded dragon? Is she the leader of the 'Scourge Legion'?!
"Azi-sama… I think you should tone it down a bit."
Watching the light blue hair loli happily swish her tail, her eyes full of curiosity, Queen Halloween said with a slight headache.
They were now walking through the Fourth Outer Layer's commercial district. The normally bustling area fell silent with their arrival.
Queen Halloween was a semi-regular visitor; most knew her background. Even those who didn't knew better than to provoke someone radiating such intense cold.
As for the purple-haired girl beside Queen Halloween…
That's a dragon! A dragon! A pure-blooded dragon, right?!
Why is a pure-blooded dragon so openly strolling down the commercial street of the Fourth Outer Layer?!
"Tone it down? Why should I?"
Azi looked puzzled, her tail wagging even faster.
Queen Halloween's expressionless face revealed nothing, but her displeasure was understandable.
"Azi… please at least hide your tail and horns?"
Queen Halloween said helplessly. Azi pouted.
"But it's uncomfortable. And we've already walked this far; many people have seen me. Hiding them now is pointless."
Azi said matter-of-factly, leaving Queen Halloween speechless.
"Little Kk, you're always so cold and expressionless. Smile a little."
Azi giggled. As she turned to leave, a shop sign caught her attention.
It was a shop belonging to a commonality under the Thousand Eyes' twin goddesses banner, named 'Perseus.'
"What is it, Azi?" Queen Halloween paused, noticing Azi's gaze.
"Such a cute child, don't you think, Little Kk?" Azi was referring to a small girl with a bow in her hair and soft golden hair. The girl had crimson eyes, like Azi's, and wore a red, gothic-style mini-skirt.
But this petite, lovely girl was a slave, confined in a golden cage. She looked up at Azi and Queen Halloween, seemingly sensing their presence.
Her crimson eyes were as captivating as jade, yet devoid of any light, as if her soul had long since departed, leaving only a beautiful shell.
After a moment of gazing into those sorrowful crimson eyes, Azi made a decision. She looked at the shop owner and spoke slowly and authoritatively.
"How much for this child? I'll buy her!"
