I watched in horror as the beast chomped down on John’s head, but then my eyes widened because the beast bit nothing but air—John had disappeared from front of it at the last possible moment and appeared a few meters to the side with a young man beside him.

’It’s him.’ My eyes flashed. This guy was the youngest member of the Celestial Order’s trio I saw earlier.

Growll!

The Iron Tier Dark Beast roared in rage seeing its prey being saved, then it rushed toward them. Since they were just a few meters away, it reached them in the blink of an eye and swiped its large clawed paw at the young man, intending to shred him into pieces.

The young man watched it calmly without any fear on his face.

I subconsciously glanced around, wanting to see the other two to jump in and save him. I spotted them standing at the back of the beast horde, but to my surprise, they showed no intention of stepping in.

The possibility that they wanted him to die flashed in my mind for a brief moment before I discarded it because this shouldn’t be the case.

Then there was just one possibility left—this young man, who seemed even younger than me, was strong enough to face this Iron Tier Beast on his own.

As if to prove me right, the young casually took a step forward, clenched his fist and punched.

Crack!

His fist was tiny in comparison to the beast’s paw, but when they met, an unmistakable sound of bones shattering emanated from the beast’s paw before it was deformed and the impact travelled to its body.

BANG!

First, its momentum came to a halt, then it was sent flying and smashed into the village wall that shattered.

The young man withdrew his unharmed fist, then looked at me. He didn’t say anything or mouthed any words, but I understood he wanted me to come over and take care of John.

I rushed over and grabbed John. Then I watched as a large, black broadsword appeared in his hand out of nowhere.

Just one look at it, one could tell it was heavy... really heavy.

But the man casually hefted it onto his shoulder and walked over to the beast trying to get up within the debris of the broken wall.

Step! Step! Step! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The battlefield was very noisy, but I could hear the sound of his footsteps clearly.

When he reached the beast, it tried to attack but with a swing of his broadsword, the beast was slashed into two.

’Damn. He has got the full protagonist aura.’ I couldn’t help but click my tongue in amazement, my heart racing.

Once he was done with it, he turned around and fixed his gaze on the Iron Tier Beast Randy was facing.

The Dark Beast glanced at him and I could see fear flashing in its eyes. Strangely though, it didn’t show any sign of retreating and instead began attacking Randy with increased savagery.

Randy didn’t back down either and continued launching suicidal attacks on it.

The young man frowned in displeasure seeing this, then he kicked the ground and launched himself in the air, landing several meters toward them. WIth another jumped, he was upon them.

Ignoring the beast momentarily, he kicked Randy away, then slashed out with the broadsword, cutting its paw into two and pushing it off-balance.

Swoosh!

He made another slash immediately afterward and cut through its neck cleanly.

Thud! Thud!

The beast’s neck, then its body fell to the ground one after another.

He moved on and killed the remaining two Iron Beasts before coming to a stop.

He then glanced at his two companions and said, "Go slaughter all the Dark Beasts in the village."

"Yes, Young Master." The men nodded and shot into the village like shooting stars.

This surprised me.

Previously, he had been standing behind the middle-aged man like he was his subordinate, but he was giving orders now.

’So he is one of those less arrogant young masters.’ I thought. This was good. After all, this type of people were easy to talk to.

After giving out his order, the young master put away his broadsword and began moving around the battlefield, punching the Dark Beasts into paste with his bare fists.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Seeing this, everyone who could fight also resumed killing the beasts with renewed enthusiasm.

I wanted to join and kill a few more beasts, but there was no one else to look after John.

’Oh shit.’ I realized I hadn’t been paying attention to John and he was motionless as he leaned on me. He wasn’t even breathing.

I quickly checked his condition and to my relief, he was still breathing, though it was extremely faint—he was about to die.

I glanced at the system screen and my eyelids twitched because my viewers were praising the Young Master while hurling insults at me, calling me a fool.

Without a second thought, I ended the stream.

[Stream Ended.]

[Peak Viewers: 20]

[Total Gifts: 1]

[Broadcast Evaluation: Average.]

[Stream Points Awarded: 500]

[Ding! Stream Point Multiplier applied! 1.2x. You’ve received 600 Stream Points.]

My eyes flashed when I saw I had received a gift.

’Please be a permanent one.’ I thought before I glanced at the SPs I received.

I had thought I might not get as many SPs as before since I had killed just one beast and it wasn’t as entertaining as the earlier stream where I was engaged in the bloody battle with the weaker Dark Beasts. So, seeing I had received more SPs compared to what it had given me was really a surprise.

’So the viewers’ satisfaction isn’t the only parameter. What a pleasant surprise!’ I thought in satisfaction before I snapped back to my senses and quickly opened the system shop and bought a Basic Healing Potion.

After seeing no one was paying attention to me, I forced open John’s mouth and made him drink it.

Soon the battle ended, but no one celebrated the victory. Instead, a grim silence settled over the area as everyone looked at their fallen comrades.
