"Tsk." Rui frowned. ('Not incompetent, are you?')
His eyes narrowed as the three of them managed to regroup. Their eyes turned towards him, flashing with a predatory glint.
They immediately began moving in his direction with Squire Draxel and Isin in the lead and Varay trailing a little behind. This slowed them down quite a bit. Rui was fast enough to outpace them as long as they tried moving as a group, but that was a strategy that would not lead to his victory.
He was the one who was on a time limit, not them. That strategy would simply lead to him tiring out, and them taking their time to take him down.
Squire Isin and Draxel had cleverly inferred that Rui did not want to engage with them in close quarters, which is why they chose to lead the charge, hoping to try and confront him while Squire Varay trailed behind to make sure that Rui couldn't use the strategy he did before.
