『19』

Once Shinju landed on the ground, the stone walls started crumbling around her and disappeared.

What she saw was a room withing nothing, literally nothing except for the large amount of magicules here.

The sounds of her steps echoed the entire room as she started walking around, she was quite confused on what should be here.

Then a loud click enveloped the area, Shinju detected a lot of monsters coming from above, like way more than a dozen of them.

As the ceiling of the area cracked, all of the monsters She's fought before came down.

The first one's that landed were the 6 beetles, next were 2 large centipedes, 2 large spiders, 2 large mutated bats, and a knight spider.

At this moment, she knew she fuc- never mind, but this was going to be a hard battle for her.

The 2 large mutated bats let out ultrasound waves that detected where she was, knowing that, she immediately started running around as 3 beetles started chasing after her while the other 3 started shooting turds.

Shinju immediately activated her eye of all seeing, all she needed to do was to focus on her eyes and fill it up with magicules.

As the 3 turds came from behind her, 3 beetles were in front of her while spiral sound waves were coming from above. Shinju decided to leap forward at the first beetle, using it as a launching bad, she jumped up and twisted her body in the air to avoid the sound waves. The 3 turds that were shot at her hit the beetle on the left rendering it in shock, taking this chance, Shinju pulled out her katana and pierced the beetle, 12 more monsters to go.

Once first beetle was killed, the other 5 started to surround me in 5 different directions, it was in a coordinated formation. The 2 large bats let out sound waves as the knight spider started to move. The 5 beetles somehow understood and 3 of them went over with it.

The 2 beetles charged at Shinju with it's fangs wide open but it was useless as a blue trail of lightning appeared and the 2 beetle's dropped to the ground, headless.

3 turds came at Shinju who easily evaded it but it seems that was what the beetles wanted. The knight spider swung one of it's sharp claws at her in hope of killing her, but of course it didn't go the knight spider's way.

Shinju easily side stepped left, unsheathed her katana and cut off one of it's legs in a blink of an eye. The knight spider backed away as the beetles started shooting the turds towards me.

In the corner of her eyes, a centipede emerged from the ground, it was quite hard to miss out on because of it's size. Shinju's attention was now focused on the centipede, she was able to see every detail of it.

ZTTZT

A trail of blue lightning appeared in the area where she was standing, immediately appearing above the centipede's head, she pierced it through without any time for the centipede to react.

Despite it's death, the other centipede erupted behind Shinju, but with her eyes, she can see it all. Immediately using the centipede's pierced head as a launching pad, she struck the blade right at the top of the stomach and started dragging her blade down as the internal organs of the centipede started spilling.

Luckily, she was able to jump off of it before it the organs could touch her.

"10 more monsters, I guess I'll go for the easier ones first." muttered Shinju.

Immediately, she sprinted towards the knight spider that had it's legs cut off, despite behind protected by 3 beetles, she was able to easily weave past them and appear in front of the knight spider.

It tried using it's hardened legs to shield from the attack, but it was useless, Shinju's katana cut through the legs like butter and was already making it's way towards it's head.

But before she was able to reach it, steel threads came at her and she twisted her body mid air to avoid it. The knight spider backed up along with the three beetles as I dropped to the ground.

Due to the bat's sound waves, it was able to communicate with the monsters and detect Shinju. Looking around, the monsters were in a 5 by 5 formation. Shinju's best bet was to attack like they were humans, yes humans, her eyes turned a bit dull as the pressure in the air suddenly increased. The monsters were cautious of the sudden change in the air.

The 3 beetles were Shinju's first target, her speed was quicker than the monster's eye tracking meaning they couldn't even see her. As all 3 beetles were cut in half in a horizontal slash, the tops of the beetles slid off as it's lower body dropped to the ground.

Now that the knight spider had no protection, Shinju was easily able to get past it's defences and kill it by stabbing her blade into it's abdomen.

Now there were six more, 2 bats, 2 spiders, and the last 2 beetles. The 6 monsters paired up with one another, 1 bat, 1 spider, and 1 beetle on the left and the same thing on the right.

'Where did they get their intelligence from?' thought Shinju.

Monsters back in the Jura Forest weren't this smart, even if there was another type of monster, intelligence of this level was pretty abnormal for monsters.

Though there wasn't really a point for her to think about it now, she just needed to kill these monsters first.

Rushing towards the left side, the beetle was first, as threads, turds, and spiral sound waves were coming at me. Shinju threw her katana and changed into her orb form and flew towards them.

None of their attacks were effective against her as she was in my spiritual form though her katana was going to head somewhere else. Changing into her human form, she grabbed the hilt of her katana and threw it at the beetle. It tried shooting turds to stop the blade but it was useless, it pierced through the beetle as the spider's threads were a bit too late.

Shinju started sprinting in different patterns to avoid the threads and spiral sound waves that came at her. Making her way to the corpse of the beetle, she pulled out her katana and made her way towards the spider.

It shot sticky threads and steel threads but they weren't effective at all, she was able to cut the threads easily and before all the monsters knew it. The spider was now headless as it's body went limp but she didn't stop there though, using the corpse of the spider as a launching bad, she launched herself towards the bat.

The bat was able to avoid it but Shinju already predicted it, after all she could see it's muscles moving and predict it's route. Shinju's foot hit the ceiling and used that momentum to launch herself to the bat. The bat never expected this, due to the speed of Shinju and the shock, she wasn't able to dodge and fell to the ground which a sword piercing it's stomach.

Now it was time for the last 3 of monsters...
