Roooar!
Realizing that they were being outmatched by the humans and were rapidly dying, one of the large heavenly lake serpents stuck fighting the crimson flame knight, let out a loud roar before all of the heavenly lake serpents began retreating. Not wanting to continue fighting a clearly lost battle against these hairless mountain gnolls.
"Don't chase after them, our original goal is still the mutated dragon devouring slime!"
Seeing that some of the humans were about to try and chase after the escaping heavenly lake serpents, the crimson flame knight stepped in and stopped them. Allowing the heavenly lake serpents to escape, while also reminding the rest of the humans present about their goal of coming to the fourth floor of the dungeon.
It was also for this reason that he had ignored the curious monster that looked very much like a small dragon that had appeared in front of them just before the heavenly lake serpents had attacked him.
