Y's move was so fast I only saw its after image. He struck with his sword edge up right into the disgusting creature, then swung up slicing the beast in two halves that slowly parted ways revealing the monster's innards.
"More come, care…" spoke Y as he was readying to fight.
I took a few steps back as many more of the same mole rat creature rose up like a hydra around us.
They dove into our midst, but Y twisted around himself with his extended swords, slicing them apart and away.
The creatures squirmed and squealed as they were thrown and culled away from the platform.
"They live still!" spoke Y, and I was surprised to hear him say something against what I was seeing. They were all mortally wounded, live still is a correct statement, but that's only momentary.
Until I was proven wrong when I saw the first creature that we split in half slowly mending its body back.
