Cornered

Splaat!!

 Thud!

 Sounds of blood hitting the cave's walls accompanied by the noise of bodies hitting the ground could be heard inside the antechamber as Alex made his way deeper into the chamber, slashing every creature he came across.

Every few steps he took was followed by the arrival of more hellhounds that would pounce at him, trying to kill this intruder. Just now, one or two hellhounds could be seen attacking him among the packs of critters, but as Alex kept going further and further inside the chamber, he was confronted by groups of hellhounds every hundred yards.

Naturally, Alex would try to dodge and look for another direction to go if he came across a pack of a dozen or more hellhounds. And if it comes to fighting more than that, Alex will immediately turn around and decide to get the hell away as fast as possible. Alex wanted to train and increase his power, not seeking death.
