Hal remained petrified for a few more seconds, forced to watch the ongoing cataclysm unfold just a dozen meters in front of him.
One moment, small craters formed as the Orc Captain's massive axe missed its target, smashing onto the ground.
In the next, an entire column of trees was annihilated by a massive wave of lightning that the Orc Shaman barely managed to dodge.
The scrawny, blindfolded orc then counterattacked with wind cutters that toppled several trees, slicing them cleanly in half.
'I-I can't stay here like an idiot!"
Hal somehow managed to wrestle back control of his thoughts after the heart-stopping scare he had suffered just moments earlier.
Trembling, he moved his legs one step at a time, reaching his maximum speed after a bit of a struggle.
The battle fortunately didn't end as quickly as it began, buying him more time to leave the area.
Soon, the sounds of battle faded in the distance, but Hal kept going, his focus sharp as a laser.
