After the tyrant rank lizard that had attacked Evelyn and her party had shaken off the stunning effect of Verrader's lighting, it immediately turned around and began fleeing.
It was not the type to engage in difficult battles and normally preyed on beasts that were completely unable to oppose it.
However, Evelyn's group were fast and difficult targets to hit, a and their teamwork made it impossible for the lizard to actually get a decent attack in.
There was also the fact that only the weakest members, Verrader and Aralee had been attacking it which the lizard had naturally noticed. If the others joined in, it was certain it would be whittled down despite its dense skin that repelled most attacks.
Never before had this tyrant rank lizard encountered beings that could use magic in the way that Evelyn's party could. All it and any of the other beasts it had encountered before could do was launch simple magic attacks without any real control.
