*WHOOOOOOO*
"GHHHH...!"
A cone of fire erupted right in the face of the armored centaur who immediately raised their shield in that direction - Coconut's charge was stopped, and they were about to face the consequences of their rash decision.
"...!"
Even while receiving the brunt of the continuous powerful fire spell that was heating up the tower shield in the centaur's hand as well as slowly raising the temperature of the entire armor too – Coconut saw two new opponents except for the fire user.
A nimble small one falling at her from the above and the large one armored up almost as much as they were was approaching from the side – and the armored one had a tower shield just like Coconut!
"!!!"
The one approaching from above would be faster – obviously – their body twisted in the air as they unleashed a volley of skill-empowered daggers before reaching out for their main weapon – a heavy dagger that seemed created with armor-piercing in mind.
"HMPH!"
*clang* *clang* *clang* *clang* *clang* *clang* *clang* *clang* *clang* *clang*
Coconut scoffed and straightened their back, locking up all the joints on their back, rendering all the descending daggers useless – then, without even a moment of hesitation, the armored centaur moved, allowing for the stream of fire to crush against it torso and...
*SLAM*
"UGH-AGRGH...!"
*WHAM*
"KHH...!"
...swatted the agile opponent to the side like an annoying bug and positioned themselves in a perfect spot to kick with both of their hind legs right at the shocked armored opponent – who still managed to block the attack with their shield but ended up getting sent back anyway, leaving the deep trail in the ground.
"OH, YOU FUCKING BITCH! THUNDER!"
"!!!"
*BOOOM*
The stream of fire cut out just to be followed by a powerful electric discharge that hit the armored centaur, making them flinch...
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BITCH, YOU BITCH?!"
...but the paralysis effect did not activate and the infuriated Coconut shouted back, launching at the cursing mage!
"FUCK!"
The mage ended up dodging to the side while cursing loudly but ended up right where the centaur wanted them – in a perfect position to get trampled.
"!!!!!"
Coconutgot on their hind legs, raising their massive body, and then stomped right at the horrified mage who froze in place!
*THUNK* *THUNK*
"URGHHH...!"
"GHH...! Damn, this guy's heavy...!"
But luckily enough for the mage – two warriors got right in at the perfect moment and blocked the hoves with their shields, letting out gasps of shock – the stomping attack turned out to be far beyond their expectations and they couldn't even counterattack it as they originally intended.
"I WILL NEVER FORGIVE ANYONE WHO ATTACKS MY LORD!"
"WH-WHAT THE...?!"
If anyone thought that the centaur would stop at that moment, they would be dead wrong – instead of backing off immediately, Coconut reached down and grabbed both warriors and lifted them up with terrifying ease.
*SMASH*
"GHAAA-RGH...!"
"URGH... ! FUCK...! My leg...!"
The first one got it easy, they merely got thrown back down right at the mage trying to get up.
As for the other one...
*SLAM*
"!!!!!!!!"
The other warrior ended up getting headbutted and went limp – losing consciousness with a single hit – but their problem was, Coconut wasn't going to stop at that...
The enraged armored centaur immediately went for another headbutt clearly aiming to finish the warrior off completely, even though the blood was pouring out of their opponent's indented helmet already – as there was a clear difference with the built quality of their armors and the warrior had some outdated equipment, to begin with.
"AS IF I LET YOU!"
"...?!"
*WHAM*
Getting lost in anger turned out to be the Coconut's downfall – literally – as when they were about to deal with their opponent, the armored one with a tower shield ended up ramming right into their back, sending the centaur tumbling back like a metal-clad ragdoll.
"Ughhhh...! Eh?!"
Coconut gritted their teeth while trying to scramble back on their hooves, but then they saw the end business end of a scepter pointed right in their face...
"A shame you're not an undead..."
Another mage sighed, shaking their head.
"Holy smit-UKYAAAAH...!"
*thump*
They called out an incantation before suddenly a stream of spider web hit them and they got pulled back so fast that they dropped the scepter.
"Pawpaw!"
Coconut turned their head and gasped, just to see the massive arachne handing down from the wall as she turned the second mage in an immobile cocoon in less than five seconds.
*SPLASH**SPLASH* *SPLASH* *SPLASH* *SPLASH* *SPLASH* *SPLASH* *SPLASH* *SPLASH* *SPLASH* *SPLASH* *SPLASH* *SPLASH*
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"PARALYZING VENOM – DON'T LET IT HIT YOU!"
Pawpaw – the black and green arachne – only smirked reassuringly at the fallen centaur before she unleashed a barrage of poison-filled orbs that rained down upon the people manning the fort.
"Coconut, are you alright? Divine recovery!"
In the next moment, the armored centaur got approached by the female minotaur who used a healing spell on them without even waiting for the answer.
"Tangelo! Thank you!"
Coconut gasped and got back up with the help of the female minotaur.
By the time the armored centaur was ready to battle again the armored warrior with a tower shield and both of those with small shields as well as the agile one hit by their shield, got entangled by the webs shot out by Pawpaw – the one who managed to remain free was the first mage who had simply burnt the webbing before it reached them.
"What in the...!"
"THERE'S MORE OF THEM?!"
Five more people appeared as they come out of the headquarters building to the sight of carnage.
A warrior, a tank, a mage, a healer, and a rogue – all young humans that didn't have the same threatening aura as the first opponents, but who seemed to be capable of holding their own ground too.
"I DON'T CARE WHOEVER ARE YOU ALL, BUT KNOW ONE THING! EVERYONE WHO DARES TO TAKE OVER OUR LORDS PROPERTY WILL BE ERADICATED! LEAVE ON YOUR OWN OR PREPARE FOR YOUR DEMISE!"
Coconut stomped their front-left hoof angrily and raised their shield back up.
"That's right! EMPOWERING AURA!"
Tangelo the minotaur agreed, raising her hand and unleashing an area of effect buff spell on all of her allies in the fort.
"..."
The five that arrived didn't back off and instead took out their weapons...
It was time for wave two.
