"Guess the talk didn't go as well as I thought?"
-----
May was able to see the Knight's muscles tense as if ready to rush at her again.
May knew she needed to handle this quickly and carefully as she had no mana and her health was low so she chose to try the easiest method, to talk it out.
May turned towards the blond woman and tried to mediate the situation.
"Sorry for landing on you and all that but I had no control over where I was landing so there is no point In us fighting, I mean it's not like I got to cope a feel I mean even if I did we are both women what's there to be ashamed about I mean mine are a little bigger but jealousy is not a good reason to kill someone "
A large clearly visible vein appeared on the blond woman's forehead but she did not act no it was the Knight who finally spoke to her
"My lady I will Protect your honour by killing this vermin"
With his final words given the Knight started rushing towards May
May was bearly able to see his figure as he was extremely fast, much faster than May herself.
May knew she wouldn't be able to hit him and there was no time to think of a plan so May decided to act on the first thought that appeared in her head which was 'Create as much destruction as possible' So with her half-baked plan she started to act
May proceeded to stop on the ground to destabilise the Knight, the spider-like cracks appeared from where May's foot was located causing the Knight to stagger for a few seconds but then he continued rushing towards May.
Seeing her plan A falling she immediately switched to plan B
She turned around towards the injured earth drake and using her impressive strength she lunged forward with impressive speed but she was still slower than the Knight but her plan was never to run away No when she reached the tail of the still very much alive earth drake she grabbed it and started swinging it towards the Knight
'As my old man taught me If you can't hit a bug with the fly swatter then just get a shoe and squash it like the insect it is'

Pov: Gwendolyn Zara Shawcross (Earlier)
"Get off "
'The nerve of that woman, she landed on me yet she still had time to talk to herself'
Gwendolyn was unable to stop herself from using wind magic and pushing her away.
With the figure of the woman flying further away, Gwendolyn decided to get up and support Sir William in killing the adolescent Drake first.
The battle was very simple the beast had no intelligence it only relied on its instincts so with Sir William acting as the vanguard and Gwendolyn supporting and dealing considerable damage to the beast from afar, the battle would have ended in a few more minutes that is until Gwendolyn notices something flying towards her at the edge of her peripheral vision.
"Back!"
With Gwendolyn's shout, Sir William jumped backwards making way for an adult earth drake to impact the adolescent one sending it flying backwards.
'BOOM'
With the impact, the adult earth drake's tail flicked and managed to strike Sir William causing him to fly back into the forest.
The tail flicked back and this time tried to strike Gwendolyn.
Gwendolyn quickly cast a windshield, the first hit cracked the shield but there was another one incoming she knew the shield would not last so she closed her eyes to get ready for the impact but it never came, when she opened her eyes she saw the same woman she threw standing on the beast's head her hand was glowing orange and it was inside the beast's eye.
Gwendolyn was shocked by this display of brutality so much so that she didn't notice that the woman was now in front of her with her back turned facing the last earth drake.
Gwendolyn did not wish to be shown up this woman was younger than her yet powerful enough to kill 2 earth drakes on her own and still have energy to spare to save her, so with every ounce of mana Gwendolyn had she used the only high-tier spell she knew.
'Great Wind Cutter'
Gwendolyn manipulated the blade to pass the woman without harming her then she allowed the spell to do its thing, the spell flew and managed to cut off the front legs of the earth drake, which Gwendolyn knew would make the beast as good as dead.
The woman turned towards Gwendolyn.
"Why didn't you do that before ?"
Does this woman not understand mana consumption no she does she used magic, so she's making fun of me
Gwendolyn gave the woman a cold glare
The woman not knowing how to deal with this situation, pointed her fingers at Gwendolyn
"Good talk love to do it again but I have to go"
'Clk'
'Clk'
Gwendolyn was unsure what that gesture meant but she was sure now that the woman's earlier question was from genuine curiosity rather than from malice, the woman seemed almost cute with her child-like curiosity well almost if now for the disgusting tunic she was wearing and if not for her unkempt hair and if not from the body odour that was making Gwendolyn want to puke.
The woman turned around and started walking towards the bearly alive drake probably to finish it off and grant it mercy but she didn't make it far as Sir William rushed passed me trying to kill the woman with a sneak attack.
Gwendolyn wanted to shout for him to stop or shout for the woman to watch out but due to mana exhaustion, she was unable to move even a muscle that included vocal cords so Gwendolyn quickly started to absorb mana hoping she was quick enough to stop Sir William from killing the woman that saved her life but it seemed that there was no need to warn the woman as if sensing the attack she countered with a stomp that caused Sir William to lose his balance but before the woman was able to even turn Sir William regained his posture and managed to take me some distance away from the woman.
When the woman turned she muttered something under her breath and then proceeded to talk about something so shameful that Gwendolyn's brain shut down but it still did not change the fact that Gwendolyn was angry at her so much so that she was contemplating just letting Sir William kill her but in the end her morals won so she closed her eyes and focused wholeheartedly on absorbing mana from the air.
[A little later ]
When Gwendolyn was finally able to get enough mana to bearly talk and move, she opened her eyes and what she saw left her stunned.
