Some had left the center of the battle after being injured, and there were those waiting at the sidelines for an opportunity to kill people and steal the keys once the battle was over.
A few had that plan in mind, but the beasts did not think that way.
Many people were gathered at the sides, most of them already injured. In the eyes of the beasts, they were blood beads that they could harvest!
The golden python and two other beasts rushed over, catching Calruz and Toren off-guard as their eyes widened, and their hearts nearly leaped out of their chests. The two of them never expected danger to come so quickly!
If Olesm had not been so badly injured, they might have been able to deal with it. At worst, they could have fled as they fought back. However, Olesm was injured, unable to even stand up straight, let alone help. The two of them would need to avoid the attacks while they protected Olesm.
This was the moment they believed their end had come.
Toren cursed at Calruz internally. The man's greed for the keys, resulting in his unwillingness to leave, landed them in the worst predicament possible!
The three powerful beasts charged at the three of them. The two of them who were still able to fight were already injured. The chances of them getting away was only 50 percent!
It was not the time to think about it.
Toren took a deep breath and suddenly turned to look at Fane. "Hey, can you help us fight these beasts? We won't trick you, don't worry!"
