The beast was initially ecstatic as it thought it was getting a 'buy one free one' deal; however, its upper chest was penetrated before it could swallow any of them. It was in pain and anger. Hence, it came out from hiding and blocked everyone's way.

When she had steadied herself, one of the guardians guarded her while the other one rushed over to the scene.
