"Oh? Did I already lose them?"
It took a few seconds for Hal to recover from the [Knockback]'s momentum, a few more to stabilize his glide, and another moment to realize that he had lost his pursuers.
Two of them, at least…
As his burst of speed began to wane, the distant bushes started rustling again, but this time, only one pursuer was left.
The creature soon revealed itself after tearing through another dense thicket.
It was the brutish humanoid monster from the race Hal didn't recognize.
'This bastard sure is persistent, huh?' Hal mused, momentarily glancing back to assess his chances.
Perhaps he could defeat it?
But then, his heart sank as he suddenly sensed danger from above.
He quickly looked up and spotted a massive shadow swooping toward him.
'Shit, of course…'
