Chapter 99: Speed Run, Real Time Attack - Run 1

A sudden movement made Kir turn, just in time for his spinal ridge to knock away a short-sword that had been headed for his heart.

The assailant was dressed in matte brown leather and grey cloth, with a grey mask that hid the bottom half of their face. They fell to the ground with a thud as Kir took a defensive stance. Then their friends appeared.

A large beastfolk man, goat-like in appearance but with wide horns starting at his brow ridge in addition to the ones on his forehead. Like protective mutton chops. He had a two-meter-long greatsword with what looked like an entire mace for a handle.

A dark-green orcish woman, broad-shouldered and wielding a long bow held her arrow ready from dozens of meters away. Her hair was straw-blonde and her face had a look of complete focus. Only the fact the beastfolk man had stepped in her way kept her from shooting.

Goat, Grey, and Archer - Kir identified and sorted them in his head for convenience.
