Have To Escape

The three creatures naturally didn't care about the discomfort and annoyance that appeared on the faces of those three people. Their job here is simply to catch, or kill intruders who dare to enter the domain of their master and even enter her sacred pond.

"How's your progress?" Clyde asked Samuel and Leyan.

"90%" Sam replied.

"Same," said Leyan.

Clyde progressed slightly ahead of them because he entered the pond first. However, he didn't know if he would be able to finish it before the three creatures attacked.

'Or maybe, I can lure them in and fight in here?' thought Clyde.

"Hey, they don't seem to want to come in here," said Leyan.

His words made Clyde and Samuel turn toward the three creatures. It turns out that what he said was true. They stared at the boiling water in the pond with troubled expressions on their human-like faces.
