Striking back the attack of the knights and trying to defend themselves from the attacks was not enough, even in the attempt to hide his identity Nicola used only two arms and the body hidden by the cloak prevented him from using his full abilities leaving him at a disadvantage. The disadvantage was getting worse and worse for Nicola and the flames started to burn his clothes exposing his identity.
"Disgusting Tiefling, worms like you shouldn't exist, you demonic scum. The Balta family will eliminate you and your filthy race from the continent." Augusto shouted.
Hearing this, Nicola could no longer endure the abuses and threw the cloak aside revealing all the extra limbs he possessed, had already become proficient in using his tails in battle and activated his prehensile tail ability so that the tails would stretch out to trap the knights while he used the four arms and his daggers to put them out of play.
The armor they wore was really worth the price, the quality was enough that they didn't suffer much damage from the attack, but it was enough to immobilize them while Nicola wove spells to attack Augusto.
With his limits open Nicola had all the resourcefulness to come out on top of them. Attacks composed of various elements flooded Augusto while Nicola was looking for some way out of that situation.
"Surrender and you will be able to live half-demon." Augusto tried to persuade Nicola, but he noticed the malice in the enemy's eyes, the moment he stopped they would attack to kill. Contrary to what he thought, Augusto was not a wizard but a witch, someone who makes a pact with a powerful creature to receive part of his power.
This reduces the mana cost when casting spells and allows you to stay in battle for much longer, after all, much of the power came from the entity. Nicola had already spent part of his mana hunting in the forest and used another part in the battle, so his only solution was to actually run away while he could.
