Focusing all his attention on the ongoing battle, Mel was able to take advantage of his position to see what was going on.
Powering his weapon with the element of fire, the cultivator was advancing, slaying wild creatures like grass, swinging his sword even faster after each new victim. His rhythm, speed, and precision were pleasing, but after about twenty paces from his other friends, he was the target of a horn coming out of the crowd.
When those around him suddenly opened, the savage creature that had dealt the blow appeared in all its majesty. The creature's dark gray skin was devoid of feathers. It had four muscular legs to support its overhanging bulky upper body. Its horn was at least half a meter long, which badly injured the fire element-wielding cultivator.
