Upon seeing the severity of the situation, more gargoyles joined the battle. Without any warning, one had already flown, creating a wild breeze in the surroundings and diving in with one fist forward.
Monstein was cornered from all sides, not knowing who would attack first. This diving gargoyle came out of nowhere from his perspective.
Monstein is not the fighting type of being. He's one who uses pure brute strength to rampage through the battle, overwhelming almost everyone. However, the hurdle to power up is still significant. At the very least, he should defeat one of them to become stronger, and the irony enters there as he wasn't strong enough to accomplish that first step.
Like a key locked inside its own cage, fortunately, he was not the only one there.
