Raze started giving Joel some distance due to the fact that Joel was bigger and slower. Joel panicked because of this, and this caused him to trip on a rock and fall to the ground. His face hit the ground very hard, and he passed out for a second before coming back.
The monkeys all saw Joel on the ground and saw this as their opportunity. From all angles, they came in, their four arms bared at him.
Joel yelled in panic, his hands over his face, trying to protect himself. At that moment, several spatial blades flew into the group of monkeys, slashing into them.
The sudden attack out of nowhere hit and injured a dozen or so monkeys and caused the rest to scatter. Raze ran to Joel and picked him up.
"I guess you can actually be very useful, as a distraction," Raze said as he picked up Joel. "I was thinking of a way to get rid of them, and you gave me the answer." Raze said. He tapped on Joel's shoulder and started jogging away.
