"It's a deal then! I believe a magnanimous being like you will honor its words till the very end," Marvin said as he thought that a being that pride itself as a mountain lord will have a characteristic of a prideful person.

"I will not attack until they go away, but my patience is limited. They only have five minutes to get out out of my sight." The draconian snake said as it merely gazed at the group with its three ruby eyes.

As they weren't going away, Marvin grabbed their hands and stepped a few meters back with both his wives before stopping as to not agitate the snake.

"Why are you both pouting? Do you know how cute you look right now? Joke aside, why are you both not going away from here? It wasn't easy to get this chance for me," Marvin said as he was surprised attacked by both the beauties.

"No, it's not a deal. Why do you think we're just decorations? I am a magical being! I can fight just as well as you can. Besides, two is better than just one. So, I am not leaving you here to face this being all alone," Leilani said while pinching the right side of his waist.

"I love you, so I will stick with you through thick and thin and all the time, even if it means dying together!" Bai Yue added as she pinched the left side of his waist.

Holy shit, why are they spewing out so much cliche dialogue?

Marvin was certainly not trying to sacrifice himself. It wasn't going to be easy to win against it, but even then, it wasn't far-fetched to say that he'll be able to easily run away to safety by using his all-so-powerful movement abilities. Besides all that, he was only trying to send them away so that he could truly go all out. In truth, they were a huge burden to him in this fight. It was hard to fight a battle where you've to protect multiple persons, after all. Furthermore, as he has seen the future, he was sure that he failed to protect them from the sneaky attacks of the draconian snake, which, however, caused poison to spread throughout their body, and led them to enter a comatose state.

He didn't want them to get hurt as it hurts him, but he didn't also want to hurt them emotionally more than he already has either. That's why he didn't voice out his thoughts and he only whispered his plan in their ears,

"Don't worry, my beloved wives. I am not sending you away from here for no reason. First off, go and group up with fatty Liam. If I don't return to the camp by night, you can go to the nearest city, and demand them for help. If I am in trouble, it would truly be helpful if you guys can come to my rescue with twenty or so experts."

As he said those words, he handed over the military medal that was bestowed upon his heroic soul, and Bai Yue accepted it against her will before protectively storing it in her chest pockets.

"We'll be back soon for sure," Leilani said. "Little sister, let's go," she added before grabbing her hand by a warm thread made out of mana and dragging the reluctant Bai Yue along as she ran.

She knew that the draconian snake was awfully strong and they weren't going to be useful in this fight at all. In the very first confrontation, she couldn't do anything but defend, while Bai Yue's attack couldn't even cut through its sharp vines, after all, however, they could prove their worth by hurrying to the nearest city and use the medal of honor to demand help. This might even save his life.

"Don't you dare die!" Bai Yue shouted as they vanished from his vision.

As they went away, the oppressive aura of the Draconian Snake was fully released, causing the low-level beasts nearby to roar in distress and run away in a scatter. This, in turn, helped Bai Yue and Leilani quite a lot as they evaded fighting against the magical beasts, and they ran through the tree-dotted area with all their strength to reach the overgrown vine where Fatty Liam had set up a camp.

"Eh, what's going on?" Disturbed by the roars and sudden stampede of the beasts, Fatty Liam woke up.

Roars of beasts? The colour on Fatty Liam's face immediately changed when he heard the loud commotion. He jumped up to a tree with a single leap. "It's coming from the direction where they went. Brother and his wives might be in danger!"

He thought as he jumped from a branch of one overgrown tree to another, and made his way to the stream as fast as he possibly can.

"Holy shit!" He was still a good distance away from there when he saw the mighty figure of Draconian Snake. This caused him to be bewildered and a little bit hesitant about whether or not he should continue going there

"Young one of the human race, you've earned my respect. It was a good heroic sacrifice. So many foolish mortals and beasts have come here, however, each and every one of them tried to sacrifice the other for their sake. Nevertheless, I consumed their flesh and bones, not letting even a single one of them escape from me. But you're the first one to sacrifice yourself to save the others. To show my respect, I'll leave your corpse as it is if you hurry up and return me my continental's fruits."

The Draconian Snake has killed an uncountable prey in its over 20 years of life, and this was the first time that he saw a person sacrificing himself for the sake of someone else. That's why he was impressed with Marvin.

"Don't try to act humanely when you're just a filthy beast," Marvin said as he stored the fruits in his spatial ring while turning around to glare at the beast. "The fruits are stored in my spatial ring. If you want them back in your embrace then you just got to kill me, but you will be the first one to die among us," Marvin added with a murderous smile as the inquisitor dagger was taken out from his spatial ring and clutched in one of his hands.
