But such were the limits of Beam's own current understanding. Whilst able to imitate what he'd seen Dominus do, he wasn't quite able to understand how it worked. In that face of all the beasts charging together, the defence that Beam had set up crumbled, and one of the beasts made it past him.
Beam allowed it to go, knowing that his only chance was speed. He needed to deal with the third one, and quickly. It attempted to bounce in a different direction as Beam came in close, but Beam was far too quick for it. His sword found the soft flesh under its neck and he kicked it onto the pile.
He turned his attention behind him. The loose Gorebeast had already made it to the other side of the pile, and its face was buried deep in meat. It ate with a gluttony that put all the other monsters to shame. It hardly seemed to chew. It merely opened that jaw that it had to impossible angles, and allowed food to drop down its throat.
