Upon witnessing that, Jared couldn't stand by and watch any longer. He ignored Hammerhead's warning and shot a golden light toward the demon beast with a flick of his right finger.
The demon beast roared after getting hit by the golden light and collapsed to the ground, dead.
With his current power, Jared was strong enough to kill that level of demon beast with just a wave of his hand.
Seeing that the beast was dead, the young woman crawled to her feet with a baffled and frightened look.
Moments later, she timidly faced Jared. “T-Thank you.”
Suddenly, everyone heard furious roars coming from the distance while the ground shook.
“This is bad!” Hammerhead knitted his eyebrows. “A large group of demon beasts is heading toward us. We must leave post-haste!”
“You should escape quickly, miss. Many demon beasts are charging here,” reminded Jared as he prepared to depart with Hammerhead.
However, the young woman snapped her sight toward the dead demon beast before lifting it onto her back.
Gritting her teeth, she trudged forward one step at a time, that feat visibly straining her.
Jared was perplexed to see that. Why is she carrying the demon beast's corpse instead of escaping?
“You should ditch the body and flee, miss! Otherwise, the incoming demon beasts will catch up to you!” he shouted.
That didn't dissuade her from continuing her efforts as sweat and blood drenched her body.
Seeing that the horde of demon beasts was about to arrive, Jared couldn't bear to watch the young woman be eaten alive. Hence, he grabbed her and leaped hundreds of meters away in an instant.
