Keep going

 Some riders tried to chase Zaos, but even though he was carrying someone on his back, he felt strangely lighter, despite the fact that he saw one of his best allies being killed a few minutes ago.

 Zaos moving speed was higher than usual, and he could tell that it was due to the spear Verkan threw at him. Most likely, it was a magic item that enhanced one's speed and strength. When the first riders approached him, Zaos turned around and welcomed them with a strengthened Fire Sword. The projectile exploded and made riders and their horses burn.

 Some of the riders had bows and decided to use them against Zaos since getting close was too dangerous. Still, their first volley of arrows never reached him because he used a strengthened version of Wind Sword. When the projectile hit one of the arrows, it exploded, creating a small tornado and hitting the projectiles.
