The Pigman who had retreated into the passage earlier rushed out first.
Tadiff felt like he was losing his mind looking at these maniacs. He was just a mercenary, supposed to handle things without too much mental burden, but he had his principles when it came to getting paid.
"Damn it, pay me more... more money!" Tadiff's face beneath his helmet appeared ferocious as he drew his axe, disregarding the shattered scale armor on him and the gaping wound, charging at the Pigman.
Others were also ready for a desperate fight at this moment, but none had expected the scene that unfolded.
The Pigman who had rushed out suddenly paused in his steps, and in the next second, a longsword pierced through its back and emerged from its chest.
As the sword was withdrawn, the Pigman's body collapsed, revealing the figure behind wearing tattered armor.
At the same time, a soft voice spoke.
"I hope I'm not too late."
