326 Fighting Rocker Monsters
But the area I was in had few trees, and many monsters. The point I was in was the lowest point in the place. From all sides, the ground kept rising for tens of metres, forming a low angled slope surface, covered with faint green short grass.
Well, they had the numerical advantage and had the terrain advantage. I only got my glaive and nothing else.
The number of monsters just around me was almost a hundred or so, and that was only in the area not exceeding a few hundred metres in diameter.
Facing such a hard situation, I had to take the initiative and control the tempo of this battle. Or else I’d be stamped over without knowing it.
“Let’s go,” the first thing I did wasn’t to fight, but to run. In fact my current place was the worst ever. Even if I managed to kill many monsters here, those coming down from the high ground would pose great threats to me.
So I started off with running. In fact, everywhere around, monsters stood blocking my path. So I had to run in a zigzag like path, trying to evade them.
There was some good news here. The monsters seemed to have slow motion from zero point. That meant they couldn’t match my speed when I got near them.
But once they started running, they’d be more agile, able to match my speed.
I noticed this over the far away monsters. As they had time and space, they started to gain momentum and showed nimble movements from time to time.
Yet those around me were acting slow, letting me bypass them for now.
At least I’d be safe for the time being. Then time came to test their defensive abilities.
*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*
I didn’t hurry to use my armour crushing glaive. I returned it back and used my light weighted glaive first. Yet the result was like a sword meeting a thick shield, giving birth to many sparks without leaving a single mark behind.
That was a little depressing. The heavy glaive was slightly annoying as I had either to slow down my speed while waving it or I’d have to hold it with both hands. In both cases, I’d be deprived of one advantage here.
“Let’s test you then,” As the light weighted glaive failed, it was time for the heavy glaive. And the result it brought was really satisfying.
*Thud!* *Thud!* *Thud!*
Monsters kept thrown into the air by each hit, rolling over the ground before finally stopping with a loud thud. The speed of moving it wasn’t that high, not like my other glaive, but it brought results at least.
Monsters thrown weren’t dead, but they seemed to have deep wounds inside their bodies. I looked at a few monsters hit by it and didn’t see any visible wounds, yet the monsters all roared in pain and struggled to stand up.
So it caused deep wounds instead of flesh ones. Interesting… But how could I use such a thing to kill those monsters here?
The first idea that popped into my mind was by crushing their heads. If the glaive could cause deep wounds to the organs, then it would be best to hit a vital one like their minds.
But trying to hit their heads, much smaller than their bodies, during my fast movement was a challenge. I tried, and failed many times before finally being able to nail one of them to the ground, leaving it dead on the spot.
[Congratulations! You managed to kill one a smaller Rocker Bull monster] ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
[You gained one soul]
[You gained one point for killing this monster]
[Keep the hard work]
These messages came to prove that the previously hit monsters weren’t killed. If so then I should have gained such messages by then.
Well… smaller Rocker Bull monsters… I’d come and kill you all!
But first let me go to the highest ground first.
“Roar!”
Just after ten minutes of continuous running, evading, and killing a few monsters here and there, I finally came to face the greatest challenge here.
The monsters at the far distance were now gathered in large groups, running at me and now we were so close to each other.
The nearest group was formed up of almost fifty monsters, running in no organisation and driven only by their rage.
If I clashed directly at them, I’d die for sure. The only way around was to use unconventional ways to fight them.
But to do that I had to risk things a little bit here.
*Fwoosh!*
Just as one of the monsters up ahead tried to surprise me with sudden acceleration and a direct stab of his two deadly horns, I jumped high in the air, aiming to the side.
My jump covered a distance of a few metres without any problems. But that wasn’t enough but to escape the first monster thrush and I had to deal with the others.
“Eat this,” but before I could land, I turned around in full circle, holding my glaive with both hands, before hitting that bull monster’s body with all my might.
Despite that my focus was mainly over guiding the strike, and not the strength or the weight it carried.
*Boom!*
The strikes used to send any monster flying away for tens of metres, before ending up rolling on the ground for another tens of metres.
But this time I controlled my glaive and aimed precisely for another result.
I wanted that monster to move in a horizontal line, almost parallel to the ground, not hitting it or sharply ascending to the sky away from the monsters around.
The monster I hit just moved in the same way I intended to. It didn’t fly high or get fixed on the ground, moved like a big boulder over the ground.
And that boulder was just as heavy and strong as any other monster here. Coupled with the strength of my strike, it started crushing more monsters aside, throwing them all over the ground, creating an empty path in front of me.
