Chapter 208 - Bleamen (4)

The fight continued. However, with Auron's help, it was not as intense as before. The swordswoman and cleric burden lessens. Julia also helped them a lot with the debuff.

The fight continued until there were 10 minutes left in the quest's countdown timer. During this time, Auron could see several other players who were hiding not far from the battle. Auron knew their intentions. Since the fight was going well, they felt that they could get another free reward.

They hid until the Third Prince was near, then they would go out from their hideout and went to Bleamen's ten metes mark to be eligible for the quest rewards. After that, they would decide on whether to continue the quest or not based on the upcoming situations.

Julia didn't mind about the freeloader as long as they were safe. Moreover, Julia's action and Auron's help had reduced the team's burden. Furthermore, she was a freeloader once a long time ago when she was still a low level. 

Meanwhile, Auron, who saw the freeloader, didn't complain, or rather he could not complain. After all, he was a low level, and he could be considered as a freeloader as well. Moreover, Julia and her teammate, who was doing the most work, didn't complaint.

As the fight's pace became milder, Bleamen, who kept on getting furious when an unprecedented situation happened, started to calm down slowly. His rage quelled down. When that happened, he began to feel something wrong with the current situation.

However, he still didn't know what was wrong with the situation right now. He began to think deeply. He began to think from when the three women were running away from him.

The three women didn't want to fight with him; that was the reason why they ran away. Then, he managed to chase the three women and injured one of them. A great turned of event for him. Then, they engaged in another fight. This time, they fought to defend their life since they were afraid the same situation would happen if they escaped once again.

Then, they made a mistake in which he exploited it. Unfortunately, it didn't go well for him. He failed to kill one of the women because of the newcomer. Starting from that point, the man who helped them fought with them.

With the man joined the fight, Bleamen felt that it was more difficult for him to find a mistake. Even if there was a mistake, they could still cover it. A weird feeling surged inside Bleamen. Then, a question popped out inside his mind; why didn't they used this chance to escape?

After the man helped them, Bleamen could see that the swordswoman's burden lessen. Moreover, the annoying mage started to change her way of attack. Instead of using an attack spells, she used a debuff spells. They should have a great chance to escape, but they didn't use it.

A sudden thought resurfaced, "What if they didn't run away, and instead, they kept him busy to stall the time."

"But Why?" Another question popped out in Bleamen's mind. A few seconds later, another answer popped in Bleamen's mind, "Reinforcements!"

Bleamen stopped his attack to the swordswoman. Then, he began to move backward and looked at his surroundings. He saw several other players hiding from him. Why didn't they help the three women? The hiding player's action further confirmed his suspicion. There must be a reinforcement coming here.

He needed to escape, that critical thought was the only thing in his mind right now. However, he didn't immediately run away. Instead, he chose to charge towards one of the players who was hiding near him.

Julia and her teammate, as well as Auron, caught off guard when Bleamen moved backward and looked at his surroundings. They wondered whether Bleamen knew their intention. They hurriedly chased Bleamen, afraid that he understood their plan and tried to escape. Soon, the Third Prince would arrive, if Bleamen escaped now, then their hard work would be gone.

However, when they saw that Bleamen charged to one of the players who was hiding around them, they started to relax. They felt that Bleamen didn't know their intention and just trying to vent off his anger to someone else since he could not kill them.

Bleamen, who charged to one of the players hiding, looked back and saw that Julia and her teammate chased him. Now, he was 100% sure that a reinforcement was coming to this place.

The hiding player who was being targetted by Bleamen, shocked. He never thought that Bleamen would focus on him since he saw that Bleamen was busy with his fight. Meanwhile, the other player also began panic; however, when they realized that they were not Bleamen's target, they felt relieved. But, to be safe, they maintained their distance away from Bleamen.

The player who was Bleamen's target became panic. He had already been killed four times by Bleamen. If he died once again, then it would become his fifth death. He began to run away.

Bleamen chased him from behind. He used all of his might and skill to run away as he became more panic. Then, in panic mode, he looked behind him to see how far Bleamen from him. What he saw shocked him once more.

Bleamen, who was chasing him, made a sudden turn. He turned right and went to the town's gate direction, ignoring him. Bleamen's swift action caught everyone off guard, including Julia and her teammate.

Auron tried to use his [Sticky Talisman] to hold Bleamen so they could surround him. Unfortunately, he was too far from Bleamen and could not use the talisman on Bleamen. The one who chased before became the chase target.

The three women and Auron, as well as the other hiding player, tried their best to follow Bleamen. Unfortunately, Bleamen's sudden action gave him a slight advantage over them. He was already far away from them. Bleamen arrived at the town's gate successfully.
