Hal and Liora froze at the sight, aghast.
The unexpected intervention bought them a few precious seconds, as even Arran turned his attention to the beast, but they couldn't feel the slightest relief as a realization dawned on them.
Who else could've killed the Stormshade, if not the Fellkin party from earlier?
The trio had to be at least high B-tier to slay an A-ranked beast, perhaps even A-tier themselves…
Sure enough, a familiar voice sounded a few dozen meters behind Hal the next moment, followed by footsteps:
"Arran? Why are you here? Weren't you supposed to b–"
Khan couldn't finish his words, however, as his eyes fell upon the other human.
"You, how did you escape?" the young Fellkin turned to Liora, gazing at her coldly. "Hmph, no matter…"
Khan soon proceeded to ignore her with a snort, turning his attention to Hal and sizing him up.
"Weak."
The humans wouldn't be able to escape four of them anyway, so he could just catch the female again after killing the male.
