Walking slowly as possible to avoid making a sound. Leading the group, Tom was making unnecessary hand movement to both the girls making them nearly wanting to Burst out laughing as they see the boy was trying to send them a secret code.
With the beast distracted with the raw meat Tom had planted, ambushing a beast will be a walk in a park. The beast has a pair of tusk beside its big mouth, and an ear as big as bunny could be seen. It's a small beast with a body of a snake.
Gripping his double blade tightly in each of his hand, Tom takes a deep breath and immediately start to sprint toward the prey.
Holding both the blade up high in the sky. He start to swung his weapon as hard as he could toward the back of the poor prey's head. The beast Tried to run away after it noticed Tom but it was too late as the blade was already a few inches of its face. Knowing that it couldn't dodge the attack, The beast just closes it eyes waiting for its time.
Like a hot knife cutting through butter, The sword was able to swiftly slash through its tough skull killing it instantly.
"Yayy!! We got a second one for our group now" Emily cheered seeing the easy kill The boy able to made.
"Shushh..." Tom telling her to be quiet as he notices the sound of footsteps. But it sound nothing like that of a human's.
A pair of footsteps? A few maybe?
That's where they all could see it. In the deeper part of the forest, around fifteen to twenty beast are slowly walking towards them. When the group of beast realized they had been noticed by the humans, all of them start to rush towards them in a incredible speed.
"RUN!!!" Tom exclaimed in a panic tone. Even His calm composure was gone when seeing that many beast have been stalking them for how long they don't know. Grabbing both the girl's waist and putting them under his armpit. He start to run away as fast as he could from the horde of beast. Running and jumping around the forest, they were trying to lead the Monster to where the Teachers are so the profesional could deal with them.
But they were already lost deep in the green as they could not find any sign of teachers or student. Tom is getting exhausted, if he let go of the girls He's not sure they able to keep up with him or they would just instantly be the beast's food.
Throwing the both girls as far as he could away from the army of beast and taking his stance, Tom Pull both the blade from behind his back and pointed them at the direction of the group.
He starts to shout.
"Stats Steal !!!"
Tom activated his ability. There's no reason for him to shout his ability names, It just a way to hype him up for the upcoming bloody fight.
Right after his ability activated, His muscle start to be tad bit bulkier and the vein on his arm start to show up. While his body is getting stronger, the beast on the front is getting weaker. Even though it might sound like a good ability theres a drawback for Tom too.
He is in a great pain, the more he use it the more it hurts.
Ignoring the pain that is happening all over his body. Like a madman he jump forward on top of the air. Dropping down, the force of the stomped itself made the ground shattered while also killing half of the nearby beast. Making a follow-up attack, he kicks a beast in front of him causing a hole on the predator's chest. Spining around, he hurl one of his blade to another beast that looks like a lizard instantly cut through the beast head, but it didn't stop there The blade continue to cut through another beast that was behind the reptile.
Using his free hand he punch forward to a beast that was stuck on the rubble cause by his stomp earlier, the poor beast head explode as his fist went through it. Using the blade that was on his another hand, Tom swing his blade vertically with a great force causing a row of beast that was in front of the blade being cut in the middle Completely splitting them in half.
Before he knows it, only one last beast was left standing waiting for its turn. Gripping his blade tightly, he start to cut through the air faster than all of his slashes he made before.
*BOOM!!!*
A lot of the dust was lift up to the air as his weapon hit his target. The sound the impact made almost Tom deaf..wait... Sound of impact?..
Both the girls start to celebrate after watching Tom defeated all the beast alone.
but the celebration was cut short...
After the smoke slowly fade away, the beast could be seen Holding the blade firmly in its hand, the beast's big eyes stared at them while it had a creepy smile that went from ear to ear on his face giving whoever look at it a shivers down their spine. 2 meters tall, no furs, and a tail on its back. It was a beast that looks like a monkey with no hairs
Tom already knew that his attack didn't work since he felt something was off when his blade didn't went through the target. Quickly back away, making a distance between them. He uses his ability again
"Stat Steal!!!"
Immediate pain suddenly rush inside him making him almost scream like a little girl. Quickly regaining his composure, He swing his sword with more strength behind his blade this time.
Slash!, slash!!, slash!!!
Slashes after slashes, Tom couldn't count how many times he swings his blade towards the monster. Blocking the blade with only one of its arm, the beast did it without even moving an inch from his spot. Even though it was weaken by Tom's ability, it was still strong as if the abilities doesn't even work.
*BAM!!*
A whip had hit the beast straight on the face knocking his head backwards, since the beast is too deep into fighting Tom It has forgotten the boy's allies making it drop its defences for Its surroundings.
Seeing that the whip was able to hurt him, The beast start to rush towards Melissa in an insane speed already covering theirs distance in a few second. Legs up high, it thrust its legs towards her chest
Gritting her teeth, Melissa tries to dodge the attacks but it was too fast So instead she Brings her forearm to the front, Melissa is mentally ready to endure the impacts.
the beast attacks was pushed off to another direction making the monkey misses Its target. Seeing that her friend is about to get hit. Emily using her sword she pushes the beast legs to the side, even though She meant to cut the beast. The weapon did no such things as the beast was only annoyed that Its attack had been disturb by another human.
In Its rage, the beast completely ignored Its last target. The monster instinctively charges toward her faster than what they had seen before giving no one a time to react to the attack. This time using its claw It start to swing Its arm, combining with the momentum of the sprint earlier, the attacks was a guaranteed death blow.
"EMILY WATCH OUT!!!" Both her friends warn her on the same time. Tom start to sprints to his friend in hope he able stop the attack in time, Melissa using her whip she tried to push the beast to the side like what Emily did earlier. But to no avail, the claw is already a few inch aways from her neck.
Emily seeing thats her head is about fall off from her shoulder, and watching her life flashes before her eyes, a tears started to fall down her cheeks.
"Ahh f**k... This is it?"
