Just as Yuu was staring at his friend getting impaled, he quickly lost his vision as he flew through the air, roughly landing on the ground as he was thrown off.

Looking ahead of him he was able to see the creature roaring as it walked over to the shielded man, most likely trying to end his life before he could do more harm.

“Dammit! Damn you!” the man with the shield yelled. He had his hand around his stomach while drips of blood fell off his lips. Even if he wanted to run, he couldn’t at all.

The magician who had distracted the beast tried his best, but he could at most slow it down as none of its attacks pierced and the creature was already

close, rendering him ineffective.

“Gagah!” The creature muttered a strange noise as if it was trying to speak before lifting up its arm, preparing to smash him as if he was a fly.

“Finally! Just die you ugly cockroach!” a girl nearby yelled towards them as the surrounding area turned slightly purple. It didn’t encompass a large area, but it was bigger than a couple of queen beds stacked next to each other.

Little specks of purple light started to come off the ground as if they were starting to float to the heavens. Yet within each light contained a strong resistant force of mana. It didn’t seem lethal, but it certainly seemed strong.

Sensing something off with the light the creature decided to accelerate its actions. Having its arm already in the air, it quickly slammed it down, trying to

end the man’s life.

“Gah!” It roared. Even though it was about to kill it stopped moving, getting on its knees, unable to stand up any longer. Despite the constant strength it showed, the ability to withstand knife wounds, spear wounds, resist against the magician’s earthly attacks, it looked like a lion turning into a sloth, weak and defenseless.

Seeing the creature falling on its knees, no longer actively moving, the girl yelled at the two, “Quick! Stab it to death! My magic can only restrain him, it can’t actually harm him!”

Without much being said, Yuu was already on the move. He grabbed his scythe from Leah who had it in her storage and was slashing down on its neck, barely getting past a centimeter, yet that didn’t dissuade him.

He kept pulling his scythe out, and slamming it back in, causing the red yet slightly orange blood to drip out.

The creature made a grunting sound, but it was restrained so it could not even roar properly.

Having already gotten back up, the man with the shield also started to stab the creature with a short-short, barely piercing into it but like Yuu, he was making progress.

Taking an entire minute of constant slashing and thrusting, the two of them were finally able to get past the skin and into the meat with the creature going unconscious as the pain it had to endure was too much for it to handle.

Ensuring that the creature would actually die, they went halfway through its big neck, blood dripping everywhere.

Deciding to finally stop, the two of them huffed and puffed, tired from constantly attacking. If it weren’t for the girl with the restricting magic, they would have not survived and would have had casualty along the way.

Remembering that his friend got stabbed by the sword, Yuu began running towards Jqonle.

Looking at his body, he could see that he was still breathing, however, there was a large cut around his stomach, causing blood to constantly roll out his body at a slow pace.

“Oi! Is he okay?” a new voice appeared behind him.

Looking behind his back he was able to see a young man wearing a religious robe immediately taking a look at Jqonle. Next to him stood a sweaty guard who was most likely protecting him.

“I’m so sorry for being late. I’m a part of the support group in the back, we were dealing with casualties before this so we were late!” the robed man said apologetically.

Not caring for apologies or the like right now, he asked the healer a question, “Will he be alright?”

“From what it looks like, yes! He is a lizard man, full-blooded at that, so blood drains much slower. If he were human he would have died long ago. But to stay conscious for this long…” he said with a grim face.

Opening his hands, the robed man began changing a spell under his breath. This caused a bright light to surround him, causing his face to ease ever so slightly.

“This should help him survive. I don’t have the ability to fully heal him but at the very least I can keep him alive. I’ll drag him back to safety,” the man said. Despite his skinny arms, he lifted the man and his gear with ease before heading back with the guard.

“Good thing that you’re buddy is safe. Thanks for the help,” the man with the shield said.

After getting a nod from Yuu, the man invited him to join their group temporarily to defeat the enemy.

Knowing how absolutely exhausted he was, Yuu replied immediately, not wanting to go by himself as there would not be anyone to save him if something went wrong.

Deciding to take a moment to look around the battlefield, he could see that there were about fifteen creatures still remaining. With the previous estimate of twenty, only five were gone. Though it looked like many were still holding on, it was just that his group was unlucky with barely receiving any type of support until the very end.

Nevertheless, he ran with the new group he was in to continue battling, though they decided to take it a bit easy and get closer to the support group in the back, assisting those who need to be saved.

=====

While all this was happening, the front lines were going crazy with the fight. If a bystander were to watch the war, their focus would mostly just be towards them as everything around them would slowly be destroyed.

Despite the huge overwhelming number of enemies attacking the group, the main group had the advantage, with them destroying a lot of the enemies. However, they did not come out unscratched.

“Gar, just hold on a little longer!” A woman shouted, swinging her sword while icicles made with mana were constantly shooting throughout the battlefield.

While a normal person would not be able to attack with a weapon and shoot magic, for some reason the woman managed to do that. Though it seemed more like a second mind was shooting out magic as it was not too consistent with her motion.

Even so, due to this, she was able to fight against multiple enemies, taking on four people. A female bandit, a male bandit, and two goblins who were geared out more impressively than their fellow kind.

Though despite there being four strong individuals attacking her, they were at a complete stalemate.

Sometimes she would get the advantage, sometimes they would. Determining the final outcome would be hard unless an external factor came into play.

Yet while she was in a stalemate, her fellow comrade was not. A muscly and tall man held a bow in one hand and a dagger in another.

While he was also strong, holding against three enemies, he was huffing like a dog while sweat poured down his face.

Despite him wearing what appears to be heavy plated armor, there were a few areas that were deformed. Not enough to have a crack, but enough to bend small areas of his armor.

As he gasped for air he could see the three in front of him quickly approach his body. With each second feeling like his chances of survival were dwindling.

“Die!” A hooded-figure that was a part of the three yelled while aiming their spear towards their chest.

The man quickly pulled the strings on his bow back before shooting it towards the hooded-figure.

While it was one single arrow, while the hooded-figure was already in close-range, it had actually touched the thin tip of the spear.

Getting thrown back, the person with the hood quickly summoned wind magic and slowed down the impact while also causing themselves to charge once more towards the man.

Even though the man was having a bit of a tough time with one person, he still had to deal with the other two while the figure charged once more.

It did not take long before the man was at a disadvantage as a goblin, a part of the three, took its dagger and clashed with the injured man’s dagger.

A bandit who was wearing nothing but shorts quickly swung his large hammer down towards the man who was dealing with the goblin.

Though like the hooded-figure, he was blown away by an arrow. While the man would usually use the hand with the dagger to shoot an arrow, he summoned one with mana and used his mouth to shoot it.

“Ah!” A loud voice sounded through the area.

While the voice sounded out, this voice did not belong to any of the enemies. Looking to his left, the bow-wielding man saw the hooded-figure slamming a spear around his armpits, aiming at a weak location where his armor was already bent.

Getting distracted due to the sudden event, the man failed to defend against the goblin, causing his right arm to drip a large amount of blood, spraying on the grass.

“Gar!” the woman cried out, slamming her sword against her opponent.

The woman watched as her comrade slowly bled out, screaming in agony. Her eyes filled with tears as she tried to push against her opponents, but barely unable to budge.

Just as the man was about to be beheaded by the goblin, two figures appeared from their backs, with the shirtless bandit barely defending against an attack, causing him to get throw three meters back.

“We just arrived in time,” huffed a man, even though blood was covering his body, Yuu would still be able to recognize him. It was Chrisel who had barely saved the man.
