After angering her to the limit, Theo continued his way to the left. In fact, he had been looping around them with a huge curve to stop the monsters from catching up.
And the only reason he taunted the Dryad was to make her focus on his taunt instead of his actual movement.
Without them realizing, Theo had made a turn and headed back to the grassland.
As soon as they reached the grassland, the Dryad stopped for a second and looked around.
'He got out? But the forest was supposed to be big. There's no way he could leave this place within a few minutes…' The Dryad frowned and soon realized it was her territory, not others. She realized she was too occupied with Theo's taunt, not noticing Theo's real plan was to return to the grassland.
Still, Theo didn't do anything in the grassland earlier, so she thought Theo would be useless this time around.
Now that there were no more trees, she sent more flying beasts to attack him.
