As the massive human began to make his way out of the town, Scaly began to grow more desperate in her escape from the gnoll chieftain and the forest rabbit lord.
Not only had the knight human managed to catch up to her after covering himself in flames with his magic, but he had also begun to slightly overtake her. Meaning that the first person that the gnoll chieftain and forest rabbit lord would attack, would be her!
Even if the knight human still wouldn’t escape being caught up in the battle as well, he would at least have a chance to retreat given that he wasn’t the main target.
In the end, this would result in her having to face both the gnoll chieftain and the forest rabbit lord all on her own.
Although a powerful human might still show up due to how close they were to the human town, she understood that it would be close to impossible for her to escape if she was busy trying to survive against the attacks of the gnoll chieftain and the forest rabbit lord at the time.
Only by not being stuck fighting the two or having the human knight tank most of the damage, did she stand a chance of safely escaping from her current situation.
Thump~!
For this reason, Scaly wasn’t the slightest bit afraid when she saw a massive human that exuded an even more terrifying aura than the gnoll chieftain and the forest rabbit lord jumping over the wall of the town before landing on the ground outside the town.
[Human, Fist Master, lvl 61]
Only after seeing the terrifying level of 61, did she feel like it might have been a mistake to attract a powerful human to help deal with her current situation.
Roar!?
Squeak!?
However, this regret quickly disappeared after she heard the gnoll chieftain and the forest rabbit lord let out surprised sounds as both of them came to a stop. Clearly not feeling confident in continuing to chase after her with the appearance of the powerful human.
Hehe, with the human around to intimidate them, I should be able to escape without any problems!
Narrowing both her eyes happily as she thought about this, Scaly didn’t notice that the powerful human was not just looking at the gnoll chieftain and the forest rabbit lord but was also looking at her.
"My lord! Please save me!" Not aware of Scaly’s thoughts or the fact that the two monsters chasing them had come to a stop, the human knight desperately called out for help upon stopping the massive man who had landed outside the town, a hint of relief on his face as he understood that the man in question was more than strong enough to face the gnoll chieftain and the forest rabbit lord by himself.
Only when he reached the perimeter of the town a few hundred meters away from the town gate, did he let out a sigh of relief and started to calm down.
"Galahad... Stop burning that poor acolyte or he will really end up dead..."
"Ah! I forgot about him!"
However, the voice of the massive man reminded him of the fact that he was still using his fire-based skill to increase his speed. Meaning that the poor acolyte continued to be in a state of being burnt alive while trying his best to use his meager healing magic to keep himself alive.
"Haaa... Still the same from back then I see."
"Hehe..."
Only able to let out a somewhat awkward laugh in response, the human knight continued getting closer, while at the same time stopping the usage of the skill that covered his entire body in flames. Giving the trainee acolyte an opportunity to relax after battling for his life during the few short minutes that it had taken them to reach the town.
"Don’t worry about those two monsters, I will take care of them... Ah! And that little lizard as well, its scales are rather unique, so it should be quite valuable." Shaking his head as he said this, the massive man who had been standing at the same spot ever since he had jumped out of the town finally made a move, as he dashed towards Scaly and the gnoll chieftain and forest rabbit lord behind her.
Ah!? He’s targeting me as well!?
Seeing this, Scaly could not help panicking as she wasted no time in turning around and rushing back in the direction of the gnoll chieftain and the forest rabbit lord. Understanding very well that she would stand no chance fighting with the terrifying human-
BANG!
Only just barely managing to reach the gnoll chieftain as the terrifying human crossed the several hundred meters between them and clashed with the gnoll chieftain head on.
ROOOAR-!
Not having the time to care about Scaly at this moment, the gnoll chieftain used all of its strength to just barely push back the terrifying human, while Scaly took the opportunity to rush in the direction of the swamp that was the closest area she could hide inside of.
Squea-
Bang!
Crack~!
Roooar-!
Seeing this, the forest rabbit lord was about to jump out and stop her but was quickly stopped by the gnoll chieftain who was sent flying directly into it.
Making it very clear that the gnoll chieftain was nowhere near strong enough to face off against the powerful human on its own.
Squeak...
Roar...!
And so, after a quick chat before the human could attack them again, the two lords of the forest sprang into action as both of them began to work together in attacking the powerful human.
Knowing just how strong the human in front of them was, they both understood that they didn’t have the time to continue chasing down the troublesome lizard and had to work together in fight the human if they wanted to continue staying alive.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the end, they couldn’t even be on par with him like this and they were slowly starting to retreat back towards the forest with each passing second...
