Chapter 115: Cornered
“Wendy!!!”
Shye exclaimed in a mix of horror and worry. He decisively used [Rush Stab Lv.2] on the creature to get its attention away from Wendy.
*SPURT*
To his unpleasant surprise, his skill-empowered stab was only enough to pierce through the creature’s thick skin, not even strong enough to pierce through its flesh.
Noticing the human hilariously trying to wound it, the Bull-Lizard swiped its tail in an attempt to send Shye flying.
However, Shye wasn’t any random adventurer, his battle-hardened instincts allowed him to narrowly avoid the tail swipe attack by jumping.
Not giving the creature any time to react, he immediately transitioned into a [Destructive Chop Lv.3] as he swung both of his greatswords downwards in an attempt to sever the bipedal lizard’s tail.
*SPURT*
This time, the result was different.
The tail wasn’t as tough as the lizard’s body so Shye’s attack managed to cut deeply.
Unfortunately, his strength wasn’t enough to completely cut through the tail, hence, the lizard still had the option to use its tail swipe attack anytime.
Still, the damage was enough to completely attract the Bull-Lizard’s attention away from Wendy.
Meanwhile, Wendy, who was recently in a bad spot quickly realized that Shye was helping her so she forcefully snapped out of her stupor and immediately ran away.
They wanted to help their teammates finish off the other orc grunt but it seemed that it would be impossible to do so since they were in a precarious situation themselves.
The creature’s body was blocking the way back to where their teammates were so the two of them had no choice but to flee in the opposite direction, moving farther and farther away from their teammates.
Fortunately, the corpse of the orc grunt was way larger than the two of them combined so the Bull-Lizard hesitated for a few moments.
It was struggling to decide whether it was worth it to chase after two puny humans since there was an easy meal right in front of it, gaining a few precious seconds for the escaping Shye and Wendy.
After around ten seconds, the creature suddenly felt the pain from its tail which reminded it that those two puny humans dared to fight and wound it.
Enraged, the creature chose to chase after the two of them, deciding to ignore the corpse of the orc grunt. As they ran desperately, Shye hoped that the Bull-Lizard would choose to eat the orc grunt instead of chasing after the two of them.
Sadly, his hopes were crushed as dirt flew everywhere, behind them, the lizard was in hot pursuit, gradually getting closer and closer.
‘Shit! That grunt was clearly more tasty than us. Why is this bastard still chasing?!’ Shye complained as he stopped to face the creature, giving Wendy a chance to run a little bit further.
“Just continue running! I’ll catch up!”
Naturally, Shye had the means to temporarily fight off the creature without putting himself in danger. The problem comes afterward when all of his skills are on cooldown.
As the creature known for its fearsome charge was getting closer and closer, Shye activated [Power Slash Lv.3] along with two charges of [Boost].
Then, once the hellspawn creature was in range, he slashed both of his greatswords downwards in an attempt to crack the skull of the charging titan.
*BANG*
As Shye’s greatswords clashed with the creature’s skull, he felt his internal organs shake violently and he was sent flying towards Wendy while spewing blood from his mouth.
Fortunately, Wendy was smart, while Shye was in the middle of engaging the creature, she determined that the creature would defeat Shye and send him flying back to her side.
Thus, once Shye was rolling right in front of her, she quickly helped him get back to his feet and cast [Heal Lv.3] on him.
Feeling the warm and comfortable energy coursing through his body and healing his internal organs, Shye couldn’t help but slightly moan in comfort.

However, he then realized that Wendy cast [Heal Lv.3] far too quickly as if she was expecting him to…
‘Did this lass just expect me to lose the clash?!’ Shye didn’t whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to complain to her in indignation but he wasn’t in a position to do so.
Not only did she heal him, but they were also in the middle of escaping so he decided to temporarily put the matter on the back of his head.
Unfortunately, although they managed to cover a bit more distance, the Hellspawn Bull-Lizard started catching up again.
‘Shit! Shit! Think!’ Shye couldn’t help but remember the intelligence attribute. Would upgrading it allow him to think of a solution?
‘Wait…What am I thinking about?! Focus!’ He forcefully stopped his mind from wandering off as he looked around, hoping to find something that would help them escape.
Alas, as if the gods and goddesses of fate and victory were mocking them, a hundred-foot-fall cliff suddenly appeared in front of them.
“Curses!” Shye exclaimed as he continued running closer and closer to the edge of the cliff, after all, the bull-lizard was right behind them so turning back wasn’t an option.
In just a few more steps, they would have to either stop running or jump down, which would most likely end their lives anyway, thus, he determined that they had to take their chances and fight the massive bipedaled lizard.
The gears in Shye’s brain shifted and turned as he tried his hardest to look for a way out of this nasty situation.
*ROAAAAAARR*
‘Shit! Why are we so unlucky?! …Or…Actually…’
Fortunately, just before arriving at the edge of the cliff, Shye managed to think of a brilliant plan. Quite risky, however, he had no choice but to try it since they would die anyway if he didn’t.
“Wendy! Sorry about this! There’s no time to explain…I trust that you will be able to figure out what to do.” Shye said as he grabbed Wendy’s hands and threw her to a bush momentarily confusing the charging Bull-Lizard.
However, in just a few moments, the lizard determined that the male human in front of it was the threat so it decided to temporarily ignore Wendy and focused on killing Shye, the hateful bastard who badly wounded its tail.
Seeing the (B-) ranked creature winding up its charge right in front of him, Shye took a deep breath.
“Hoooh…This plan has to work or I’m dead…Wendy, I’m counting on you.”
