Defeating the Enemies

[Third POV]

Back in the village, a sudden change has occurred in the tides of chaos.

"[DADADADA!!]"

Ceobe is currently throwing knives at the unsuspecting human bandits. She dashes towards them with great speed and hurls her weapons at the enemies' direction.

"[BANG! BANG!]"

With no hesitation, she aims for the bandits' heads, killing them instantly. The other human bandits were shock to see their comrades drop like flies and were angry at the beast girl.

"Capture that brat!!" One of the bandits yelled.

"Like hell I will let you do that!"

However, the bandits stopped by a monkey face person with a sword, which aggravates their attention onto him.

"[Take this! Really Hot Knives!!]"

With the bandits distracted, Ceobe took this opportunity to unleash three knives coated in fire at the enemies.

The knives not only inflict damage to the bandits but it also scorches them because of the heated blade. The bandits scream in agony as they collapse to the ground, eventually dying of blood loss.

"[Damn, missy. Do you think that's overkill]"

"[Hehehe~]"

Ceobe giggles goofily at her actions and Geese couldn't help to sigh.

After their short banter, they continued onwards to save the beast people.

However, little did the duo knows that they were being followed a shadowy figure that constantly lurking behind the trees,

----------------------------------------------------

Once they arrive near the enemy's carriages, Ceobe and Geese hid themselves behind the tree and saw the bandits collecting the beast children as they peek.

Ceobe can hear the sad cries of the children with her dog ears, which irritates her badly. She couldn't help herself to snarl at the bandits and grip her knives tightly.

Geese, seeing her buddy getting angry, places his hand on her shoulder. Noticing her shoulder being touched, Ceobe snaps out of her anger and looks at Geese.

"[Easy there, missy. You don't want to lose your head because of anger, do you?]"

Hearing Geese's warning, Ceobe meekly nods and calm herself down. Then they begin to prepare themselves to jump in and save the day.

"[Ready, mister Geese?]"

"[Yeah, I'm ready]"

After confirming each other, Ceobe and Geese both dash towards the carriage. The bandits spotted them and they also charge at the two.

"[DADADADA!!]"

Seeing the enemies coming at her, Ceobe hurls a bunch of knives at their general direction. One by one, the bandits fall to the ground as they were struck by the incoming blades.

However, some of them were able to dodge and parry Ceobe's attacks.

'Crap, they know my attack patterns. What should I do?'

Ceobe looks around her surrounding and spotted an axe sitting by the chopped logs on the corner. She sprinted towards the log area and grabs the axe.

[An old yet sturdy axe acquired]

While Ceobe was obtaining the axe, a bandit managed to sneak behind the young beast girl and decided to attack her.

"TAKE THIS, YOU BRAT!"

"!!"

Ceobe was caught off-guard by the bandit and didn't have enough time to react. But then suddenly a red blur rush through the fire and strikes the bandit in the head.

"Hrrgh!!" the bandit grimaces as he falls to the ground.

Ceobe was surprised by what happened and decided to inspect the bandit. Once she arrives, she saw a red spear was pierced through the bandit's skull.

She then looks at the direction where the spear came from and she saw shadowy figure of a woman standing beside a certain tree.

When Ceobe tries to approach the figure, it immediately retreats behind the tree. When she looks back to claim the red spear for herself, she was shock to see the weapon was no longer there as well.

"[Little missy, why are you just standing there?]" say Geese who approaches Ceobe.

"[Ah, it was nothing. I was spacing out]"

"[We better get going. There are more bandits incoming]"

"[Okay...]"

The two people then continue to defeat more bandits and save the beast people.

----------------------------------------

"[BANG! BANG!]"

One by one, Ceobe swings her axe in a frenzy and the bandits grimace in pain as she chops their limbs off. The other bandits saw this and they became cautious of the beast girl.

"Who the hell is that brat?!"

"I don't know. Why does she have an axe?"

They saw the young beast girl's eyes glow in red while she holds the bloody axe, snarling at them. Seeing that, the bandits were scared of Ceobe and they wouldn't dare to approach her.

"Well, well, well, looks like a feisty little fellow decided to fight back"

Suddenly, the boss of the bandits shows himself.

"Who are you?!" Geese asked, wanting to know the identity of the person who just showed up.

He has a rugged look, a scar on his right eye and a sword on his hand. The boss of the bandits stands intimidatingly in front of Ceobe and Geese.

"My name is Garus Cleaner, the boss of these fellows. You two seem to ruin our fun kidnapping these beast children. Especially you, brat" the man said as he points his sword at Ceobe and glares at her.

The young beast girl glares back and growls ferociously. She grips her axe tightly as she assumes a defensive stance. Seeing this, Garus laughs and begins charging at Ceobe in a very fast pace.

As the man approaches her, Ceobe threw a flurry of knives at Garus.

"[DADADADA!!]"

However, he weaves and dodges the attack while maintaining his momentum. Ceobe repositions herself and fires another wave of knives.

"[BANG! BANG!]"

"Tch, you're wasting your knives, brat. Give it up"

Garus taunted while he parries the knives, making Ceobe panics and kept on throwing knives at him.

Unfortunately, he dodged them all and she has no more knives to throw. So, she made a desperate attempt and hurled the axe at the man.

"[ORA!!]"

"Futile mistake, you dumb dog!!"

Ultimately, Garus parries the axe and then he went for a sword swing at Ceobe.

"Ceobe!!" Seeing his friend going to die, Geese shouted her name.

Garus grins and swing his sword, while Ceobe closes her eyes.

----------------------------------

However, a wonderful fate occurs...

"STONE CANNON!"

Out of nowhere, a huge rock came hurling towards Garus and he instinctively steps back. He looks at the direction where the rock came from and widens his eyes.

"It's you, Pet owner" Garus says in annoyance.

Curious on who saved her, Ceobe opens her eyes and saw Rudeus with the Holy Beast by his side. He stands imposingly in front of her and she was mystified by his presence.

"[Are you okay, Ceobe?]" Rudeus asked.

Ceobe was speechless, so she only nodded in response. She couldn't take her eyes on him because of how she was saved by him from a certain death.

"Tch, no matter. I will just kill you and then that mutt" Garus grunted as he brandishes his sword.

"Eris, Ruijerd. Take care of him"

Before Garus could attack Rudeus, a red-haired girl and a spearman appeared at both side of the man and pointed their weapons at him.

"Drop your weapon, now" says the red-haired girl.

Complying to her command, Garus drops his sword and surrendered.

After that, Rudeus raises his staff and created a rain cloud, which it extinguishes the fire in the village.

Ceobe, seeing the formation of rain, was utterly amazed by the display of power and magic. She was bewildered seeing magic being performed for the first time.

"[I want to learn that]" she mutters.

After a while, Gyes and the other beast men also came and apprehended the rest of the bandits.

And so, the beast village was saved in the very end.
