The silence was cut short by the monsters that started to come out of Gate.
Without saying anything to each other, all of them got back to their work.
Lucas runs toward the upcoming monster with incredible speed.
Ignoring the monster that was lunging at him from the ground, Lucas dashed to the side to avoid being landed on by one of the jumping hounds, allowing the momentum to impale it on the sword.
Before the heavy carcass could weigh his sword, Lucas used the long hilt as a lever and slammed the dead monster into the mass of its attacking kin.
By that time, one jaw was already closing on his thigh, and another was centimetres away from his forearm.
"Astral Dash" Lucas shouted as he activated his movement art's first move.
The monster who was about to change off his thigh and forearm met nothing but air.
Lucas appeared a few meters back, slightly panting for heavy breath.
