The Locust and the Target

The moment he saw the beggar-like man's hand transform into one that looked like from a monster itself, he already knew that they should immediately run.

However, things happened extremely fast and after he realized it, one of the monsters they sent was already dead. 

His companion vomited a mouthful of blood due to the backlash of losing his summoned monster.

Seeing the miserable state of his companion, he no longer wasted any time as he directly ran away, abandoning the 'friend' that he once swore to protect while they were adventuring.

However, no one can blame him. The opponent was, after all, a person from the Glorious Panda family.

Even if his 'friend' did not know about it, he clearly knew the story behind them.

In fact, half the purpose of them getting planted as a spy was to use them in a future plan of getting rid of this family that always hinder's their plan.
