'A variant, huh?'
Hal took a deep breath before activating [Tailwind] and deciding to flee.
He didn't want to fight this specific Secteed near the eerie underground cave, as he was almost sure that place was the lair of the Midnight Pixie.
Otherwise, why was he about to enter earlier?
Hal huffed and puffed, marsh water splashing everywhere as the Secteed behind him gave chase, sprinting like a human while lunging like a mantis from time to time.
Hal was slightly horrified to find that even with [Tailwind], he wasn't leaving the monster behind.
The gap was widening slowly, sure, but his wind-elemental spell was also about to run out.
'Tch, whatever. I've gained quite a bit of distance from that den-cave, anyway…'
Muddy water splashed as Hal stopped running and turned to face the Secteed, locking eyes with it before snapping his fingers.
The variant humanoid-mantis trembled for a moment.
