234 Intervention
Randy was indeed astonished by the combat skills and the unique combat prowess displayed by the green-clothed young woman. Since, despite her languished state, she still managed to kill more than 20 magical beasts by herself within a short time.
That level of combat prowess, coupled with her mastery of other weapons created a perfect definition of a true combatant- an adept warrior who fought on the battlefield regardless of their state.
Randy hadn’t directly seen many people fighting before besides watching some videos back in his world. However, this young woman’s display of combat made him ascertain that she must be an experienced combatant, and it was at a level where it was not simply from fighting some magical beasts.
Randy recalled that this world was currently at war with each other, and he instantly assumed that perhaps, she used to participate in such wars, hence why her skills became this refined.
Either that, or she was simply a genius fighter. Either way, Randy found it interesting and wish to fight her for reference, as he had never truly fought someone without the intention to kill just yet.
However, as he saw her struggling to fight with the remaining magical beasts, he decided that perhaps, now was a good time to assist her. Furthermore, this also aligned with his current goals, so it doesn’t hurt to assist her.
With that in mind, he stepped out of his hiding position and into the open as he brandished his Glacial Beast Sword, which exuded a cold air in his grasp.
He had been hiding behind a dense thicket all this time, as it served as perfect camouflage.
Afterward, he took a step forward while channeling his mana into the sword. He wanted to try out something that he didn’t think of during his fight with two demons.
.....
Because he was preoccupied with how to defend against their attacks, he didn’t get to test this out with his sword and only momentarily used it during that battle, but it was ineffective as he didn’t prepare enough for it.
Indeed, it was the weapon property of his Glacial Beast Sword!
Naturally, this sword also had its own weapon property, and it was related to ice, which could be guessed just based on its name alone.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
Randy simply didn’t have the time to try it out during the battle with demons. But now was different, he had enough time to test it out before stepping out of the bush this time.
At this moment, the team members of the green-clothed young woman had reached the location where he came out, and when they saw his nonchalant look as he walked forward in the direction they were frantically running away from while ignoring them.
They were left speechless for a good moment, as it was obvious that they were running for their lives based on how they were panting and frantically running away from the direction that the young man was heading.
Subsequently, a stout young man in their group, who looked to be about 16-17 years old, shouted at him, seemingly annoyed by this person who couldn’t take a hint.
“Hey, you! Are you blind or are you crazy? Can’t you see what’s going on?”
This young man obviously did not believe that Randy was strong enough to deal with the magical beasts since he looked to be about the same age as them.
However, Randy simply ignored him and continued forward in a calm manner.
Seeing that the other party was not reacting to his words, the stout young man thought that he might not only be blind but also deaf as well.
Therefore, he decided to speak in a slightly loud voice: “Hey!! Did you not hear me?!! There is a magical beast horde heading this way from that direction!! If you don’t want to die, don’t go in that direction!!”
Randy instantly frowned when he heard the stout young man’s screaming voice.
‘Is this person stupid? Why is he screaming in this kind of place? Now that I am hearing it, his voice was the loudest among the people that I heard screaming earlier.’
Randy wanted to avoid any complications since he planned on intervening without revealing himself.
He didn’t want to speak or socialize with them. However, as things stood, it was a wrong decision on his part to come out without using his stealth skill. No, it was a mistake for him to think that they would ignore him since they were strangers.
As he thought, the stout continued to shout behind him.
“Our Leader is currently fighting those magical beasts off, so take this chance and run away with us back to report back to the Society.”
“Oh right! Damn it! We have to hurry up and report to the Society. Otherwise, the Leader would...”
Randy couldn’t take it anymore and replied with a slightly irritated voice without turning around: “Don’t worry, I know what I am doing.”
Randy slowly walked forward and then after using Dimensional Sense to confirm that no magical beasts were attracted by the stout young man’s shouts, he felt reassured.
After which, he took one step forward before abruptly kicking the ground and charging toward the direction where the green-clothed young woman was fighting with her life on the line.
His departure left the stout young man speechless, as he did not expect to be completely ignored by the other party despite his constant warning.
A moment later he shouted: “Hey! Where are you going?! You guys, why didn’t you... Huh? Where did the others go?”
As he was wasting his time trying to inform Randy many times to turn around and receiving no reply, his companion did not linger there any longer and directly left the stout young man behind since it appears that he was the one that couldn’t catch a hint.
Naturally, this stout young man could take care of himself for a while even if something were to happen to him. However, that was very unlikely since their Leader was currently holding off the horde of magical beasts in the vicinity.
Thus, they left him behind as reporting their situation was more important.
Furthermore, their Leader’s life was on the line here, so they couldn’t afford to waste their time on that idiot who only knew how to act arrogant when there was no need.
On the other hand, after being left in a daze from shock for a few moments, the stout young man came back to his sense and instantly became apprehensive about his surroundings and immediately scurried away without looking back. He no longer cared about that young man.
...
Meanwhile, Randy approached the green-clothed young woman, who was only a few tens of meters away from him.
He was currently depending on his Dimensional Sense skill to check out her situation.
And as expected, she was really holding her own against the onslaught of the different magical beasts.
But as he had noticed before, her movement was slowing down, although it was not affecting her too much at the moment.
Even so, as the fight goes on, she would inevitably fall due to either exhaustion or being eaten alive by those rabid magical beasts.
Not long after, the distance between them closed, and he was only 30 meters away from her.
At this point, Randy decided to use his Stealth Skill and presence concealment to carefully approach the green-clothed young woman.
When he was about 10 meters away from her, something unexpected occurred, which caused him to abruptly halt his movement and look ahead with a slight frown.
