Chapter seven: More enemies
…
Rick, we have been walking for over one hour and we have only killed thirteen monsters, Tom mumbled.
Don't bother yourself excessively, I think we should find another group of monsters soon, I said while caressing his shoulder.
Eh, I can see about twenty monsters along our route, May announced while generating her star blades.
Now that should be interesting, Tom said while taking his pistol from its case.
So what's the plan? May inquired.
You handle seven monsters, I told May before turning to Tom and you take six and I will deal with the remainder.
But why do I have to get the smallest number, Tom said with a frown.
Your stamina level is low so, I don't want to demand too much from you, I replied.
Hmmm, he responded. Anyway, let's deal with monsters as soon as possible.
I activated my katana as I charged toward the monsters.
"clang," my sword vibrated as I retreat away from the monster.
A monster that has a katana and can fight like a human, would take a long time before I can end this battle, I thought.
Screech, the monster howled as it began to charge toward me.
Suddenly, the monster formed a magic circle on its palm before shooting a water blade.
What, I yelled as I evaded the attack. At least this one is not as strong as Miss Tasha, I sighed.
Time barrier, I mumbled as I began to run towards the monster.
But before I could strike the monster, he formed a large water shield.
Shit, I mumbled as I stopped my attack. Even if I manage to shatter the shield, I won't be able to inflict much damage to it, I presumed.
If only I had a magic skill that could attack my opponents, I whispered angrily.
Roar, the monster yelled as he formed a water shield around me.
What, I said with an alarmed look. If I don't get out of here now, my situation may become worse than before, I said while trying to break the shield.
However, all my efforts to break the shield were futile. Unexpectedly, I felt a sharp blade pierce my chest and it was only a few inches from my heart.
Gah, I muttered in pain as blood began to flow down my skin.
Rick, are you alright? Tom asked in fear.
Watch out, I yelled sickly as I saw some monsters dashing towards Tom.
Flamethrower, he said while burning the monsters that were approaching before launching another attack towards the monster that stabbed me.
Suddenly, the monster roared and then, more monsters began to come out of the forest.
Shit, I mutter as I stood up before activating the emergency tracker with me.
Tom, you should help May, I said before adding I, will eliminate the monster.
Are you sure? Tom asked with doubt.
I am, I answered.
Time barrier, I mutter as I charged towards the monster before a blue light enveloped me and my sword.
Suddenly, my sword vanished as I threw it towards the monster before I also vanished.
Abruptly, I appeared behind the monster before grasping his hands and legs tightly.
Disable, I said with a smirk. Unexpectedly, my sword reappeared behind the monster before cutting off its head.
Hmm, I said with a smile on my face. I knew that skill would work.
Anyway what is that, I asked no one in particular as I observe the black core stone that came out of the monster's head.
Hmm, this should be valuable and besides, I need to help Tom and May, I said as I put the core stone in my pocket before staggering towards their direction.
….
Meanwhile, Tom and May were surrounded by monsters and were finding it hard to handle them until Miss Tasha and some military personnel arrived.
Where is Rick? Miss Tasha asked Tom with fear visible on her face.
He is over there, Tom replied while pointing in my direction.
Rick, she shouted as she ran towards me.
How did this happen, she asked while pointing at my injuries.
Never mind, I replied to her while shrugging my shoulder.
Anyway, let's get out of here she said while carrying me inside the helicopter that was waiting for us.
Eh, May said when she say Miss Tasha carry me inside the helicopter.
After dropping me, Miss Tasha suddenly became serious before asking us a question.
What happened to you guys? She asked.
