Chapter 560 - Arrived Back (2) (1/2)

Every Auron's members were invigorated by Auron's speech. Just like what Auron had said, they had only less than one day of travel before they could reach back to their base camp. After a long week of this mission, they needed something to tone down their nervousness.

When Auron's group was about to leave, all of them heard a bustling sound from the path where they came from. All of them immediately stopped moving. Auron gave a signal for them to hide.

All of them quickly hid, only leaving Auron and the new swordsman alone. The two of them held their own weapon. Auron was currently using his swordsman character and made his mage character hid just like everyone else.

A minute later, a shadow sprung behind from behind the tree and attacked Auron, who was at the front. Auron quickly raised his sword and managed to block the attack.

The shadow was actually a weird monster with the body of a lion and had a scorpion tail. It was like a manticore. Auron frowned, looking at this animal in front of him.

There was supposed to be no wild monster at all in the Bridge World. There was only one possibility, the monster in front of him was a battle mount. Unfortunately, he never saw any of Regalia's people using this manticore which made him confused.

Auron blocked the attack. However, the manticore was powerful. It gave more strength and pushed Auron back. The new swordsman quickly helped Auron.

And, just like what Auron had thought, an arrow appeared from the forest and aimed towards him. Auron dodged the arrow, but the manticore, like had known what Auron did, attacked the location where Auron was fleeing to. Auron was surprised by the mount's intelligence and could not block the attack.

Auron was thrown to the ground by the mount's sheer power. Then, from the direction where the arrow came, four shadows emerged. Three of them directly attacked Auron and the new swordsman.

Auron, who was on the ground, was in danger. He could only roll over and tried to defend against the attacker. Fortunately, the other members who hid didn't stay still. Axton fired arrows while Auron's mage character also used [Fire Ball]. Meanwhile, the cleric gave her heal spell to Auron.

Cedric, who was nowhere to be found, appeared behind the archer at the back and attacked him. The archer had already known this coming and defended against the attack.

With the long-range help, The three enemies and the manticore jumped back and regrouped with the archer. Cedric, who was dealing with the archer, also fled before he was surrounded.

Auron quickly used this chance to stand up. The two sides were separated. Auron with six people while on the other sides were the four enemies plus one manticore. It was a 6 versus 5 situation.

Auron's group still had the number advantage. However, he didn't want to underestimate the enemies. Moreover, the manticore was quite powerful.

In the Bridge World, the mount was allowed to be used. However, they were rarely used because at the Bridge World. There was an unknown power that suppressed the power of every monster here, including normal animals like horses. That was also the reason why there was no monster live in The Bridge World.
