Evan and Gerda watched as one of the five Ogres chopped a thick root. Its axe was very large and its blows strong enough that after a few blows the root slowly fell to the ground.
The waves dispersed away from the felled root and the Ogres moved on. They weren't chopping that root for nothing, they had a target - the lad, who was there. This time they failed to get there in time. Seeing what the Ogres were doing, the young man quickly jumped to another root next to it.
Looking at the slow moving monsters Evan thought to himself, <Hmmm, I am very far away from them. It won't be long before they get to me, but in the meantime, need restore my mana reserves.>
Evan looked at Gerda and calmly said: "I think our cooperation is over."
"What?" The girl said in surprise and immediately got ready to fight. If Evan wanted to, he would overpower her.
