The soldiers had already been reduced to less than 10 and Athos decided he didn't need to play around. He dodged an aura fist aimed at his head and ran towards the mine entrance.
The ogre roared in annoyance, Athos was simply too fast to keep up. He thought for a moment about undoing his transformation to regain his speed, but chose not to. His energy has already dropped to 70% and he still hasn't landed a single hit, so reducing his destructive power wasn't an option right now.
Athos managed to get into the metal mine, almost immediately bumping into a mining cart being pushed around by a minotaur, but it slashed his chest and kept running.
The ogre outside thought about what to do and undid the gigantification, before continuing to pursue Athos. The few soldiers left behind started running for their lives the moment Athos was out of sight.
