The fourth level drudnid, after taking care of the red-skinned man, didn't hesitate to charge at the two survivors.
Being a fifth level stellar practitioner, the bodyguard —even when injured— should have been capable of outpacing the drudnid. However, he carried a young lady with him whose weight held him back. Normally, this wouldn't be much of a problem and the man would still be faster than the drudnid, but the problem was that he was injured.
At this rate, it would take only forty five seconds for the drudnid to get to him.
Realising this, the man gritted his teeth.
"Young miss, you're on your own. I'll try to hold it back."
Not waiting for her to respond, he tossed the young lady forward, but had wrapped her in stellar energy to cushion her fall. At the same time, the man turned behind him to face the approaching drudnid.
