Using the fleeing exosuits below as a springboard, I reached the scorpion-tailed monsters in no ti at all.
Perhaps it was because I had just slain one of their numbers, but upon noticing my presence, a fair number of them imdiately abandoned their current prey, instead electing to rush at , even going so far as to ignore the survivors running past them
Speaking of survivors, the cruel irony of this whole tragedy wasnt lost on at all. Amongst all the survivors right now, the ones who joined us the latest had to be the most unfortunate. We had no exosuits for them, so I had them arranged right in the center of the contingent. Yet what looked like the safest place ended up being the opposite when the monsters suddenly ambushed us. I wasnt even talking about the monsters killing them either
Weighing in at one and a half tonnes, the entertainnt exosuits easily had the impact of a hover car when they sprinted. In other words, amidst the mass panic of the ambush, the ten or so survivors without exosuits were crushed or smashed to pieces by the ones who were supposed to be guarding them A veritable hell on Gaia for them
Seeing the field of mangled corpses laid out before , a wave of anger imdiately consud . My body shook with fury, and my eyes turned red with blood
I hated those monsters. I wanted them dead, every last one of them. At the sa ti, I hated those cowards, even ard with an exosuit, they still fled like mice. Above all, I hated myself for not noticing the monsters, and for not being able to protect those trampled people
As more survivors fell, my heart only beat that much faster.
RAWWWRR! I let forth a guttural roar, born from my inner helplessness. I took one last leap off an exosuit, then took to the air like a bird!
At the sa ti, one of the canine/scorpion skeletons leapt as well. With its massive body more akin to a bull, it naturally radiated an oppressive pall. In terms of strength alone, it was leagues above .
However, I had Icy Inferno with ! Knuckles white from gripping, I swung the mighty sword at the mid-air monster, slicing it apart with the force of my upward ascent. A clean victory. Unfortunately, that also ant that I was now on a descent straight into a pile of waiting monsters.
The bones of my fallen enemy still falling with a clang around , I imdiately kicked off the ground the mont my feet ca into contact with the ground, twisting my body at the sa, and narrowly avoiding a leaping skeleton. But that wasnt the end either. The monster was now exposed at his flank, and I swiftly followed up with a spinning swing of Icy Inferno.
The impossible mix of fire and ice on its blade cut easily through its ribs. Then with another swing in the reverse direction, I cut its head! By the ti it landed on the ground, it crumbled into a pile of harmless bones.
Revolution Slice was a counter move used during a dodge. Thanks to my superhuman reflexes, I was able to further master its intricacies. In fact, it almost felt like this technique was made for ! Like really made for !
All right! Its ti for you monsters to beco my stepping stones!
As the battle raged on, I only got more and more aggressive. Every slice of Icy Inferno left behind an inextinguishable fla on their bodies. Ard with Revolution Slice, I was able to safely avoid their attacks while launching an attack of my own. In barely a minute, I had sliced apart another four more scorpion-tailed skeletons. Even when they tried to surround , I could easily cut through them when I dodged.
Even though these monsters were a lot smarter and faster than those zombies, they still werent a match for in reflexes and sheer destructive power. Their tactics were swift but predictable not a threat at all to .
While I battled the monsters, I threw a glance in the direction of the girls from ti to ti. Roughly half of the monsters had been attracted by my actions, that left another half attacking the survivors, of which one unfortunate monster ended up attacking the girls.
Like a well-oiled machine, the girls backed away in unison. Bitong commanded the three unmanned exosuits to act as shields for them, forcefully grabbing onto the tail of that monster and locking down the monster in the process.
The force of three exosuits was more than enough to suppress that skeleton, especially when those three were all acting under one will. The first exosuit locked down the monsters tail. The second jumped onto the monsters back. The third locked the monsters neck in a chokehold, completing the seal on its movents.
From the sides, Lixiang and Jiaojiao both wielded their hamrs and began smashing its head, cracking open its skull in no ti at all
Hah who would have thought that the girls would co through like that and Jiaojiao was even crying just monts ago too look at her swing that hamr now In fact, she seems strangely practised in slamming that hamr down onto round objects yikes
Now that we had taken care of a portion of the monsters, the fleeing survivors began to realise that these monsters werent as undefeatable as they first thought. Especially after how they saw the girls gang up on that lone skeleton.
If even those young girls can do it, why cant we? The older n amongst them were probably thinking. Thats right! In fact, so of them even voiced this thought out.
Soon after, a number of survivors began banding up into teams of four and five to take on the monsters. Lest one forgot, these exosuits still had weapons on them, though not very efficient ones. Emboldened, they began overwhelming the monsters with sheer numbers. A shield-wielding exosuit would first block the tail, while the others would then take the opportunity to dogpile on the monster. Following that, another exosuit would crack open the monsters skull.
With a successful example to learn from, the entire morale of the contingent began to soar! Never would I have thought that these potatoes would mount a counterattack like that! Was this what it ans to lead by example? The difference between CHARGE! and WITH !.
Thanks to the overwhelming numbers and inherently sturdy defenses of the survivors, the majority of our casualties ended up only being the initial few and those who were trampled to death
