As this little argument and teasing was happening in the shelter. There outiside in the forest, Zoro who have lost the direction from which he came from was walking without any deep thinking or understanding.
His curved katana monster souls were already in his hands for any kind of monsters trying to attack him or even people trying to ambush him like those from before who had robbed his team.
As many and many times this thought came to his mind, he always get more uncomfortable inside his heart that he failed in something and this was cutting slack to him that he was surrounded by monster at that time because he was pure perfectionist when it comes to fighting strength and fighting style.
Frustration of his failure was so much that it made him go in berserk like state and slash the trees around him.
His slash attacks were fast and fierce but it was consuming his energy really fast. Trees were falling all around him causing loud noises.
This loud noises was a complete disaster for anyone this deep in forest because it gave away the location to all the monsters in surrounding area.
And finally it happened where monsters started rampaging into this area.
Zoro wasn't even giving this any thoughts but when he noticed the presence of monsters. He was even more furious because if not for the monster at that time stopping him, he would have killed the robbers without any teammates being hurt.
His swing was becoming strong even though he was just getting less and less enteric by each swing of katana. But swings may have become stronger but its pattern and style was getting distorted.
Monsters were of all kinds form bull, rhinos, bees, mouse, and flies of huge sizes.
His wild attacks left the openings for comparatively small monster than other monsters like bulls and bees.
Zoro who have dropped to half of his peak stamina was fighting big monsters and these monsters had the strong outer skin which make it hard for Zoro to kill them with low efforts.
Like a domino effect, monsters seeing other monsters attacking in this direction started running after them and joining in this fight.
Countless number of monsters pouring in this fight with different sizes and strengths had weaken the Zoro's sight ability, counterattack ability and defensive range.
Zoro feeling this overwhelmed, he called enigma ranked monster soul armour and was covered in the red ruby colored armour from head to toe.
Bees, flies and other monsters kept appearing. Defences and stamina of Zoro kept decreasing until the point, where one katana was flung out of his hand.
Zoro's POV
"Death stance sword Style" I screamed in frustration before finally switching to the katana fighting style of my family from the modified martial arts.
I stood in one place instead of dodging, putting strong strength in my legs, katana in front of my face gripped with both hands.
I called back the katana sword that had fallen. But I had no time to summon the monster soul and assume the two katana style again.
My katana swings now well coordinated as I was using the family sword style which I was used to by now even though using it against so many monsters were mental tiring as this style require me many swing like one stroke that kept going connecting through each dots like in those puzzles.
To do this, I had to predict the moments of all monsters and make attacks on monsters who are near first.
Strength and flow behind the katana strioke was increasing with each monster kill.
I wanted to end it quickly because there is limit to how much of flow strength can my body bear.
3rd Person POV
A strong Rhino monster seeing his monsters getting slaughtered was now enraged.
He walked back and ran at full speed toward the Zoro. Zoro was in middle of fighting other bees monster who are poisonous and those monster which are near him.
This monster made a direct hit with him and it was so strong that he was thrown into air for 7 m even after his strong stance.
His other katana had the crack on it from the impact. It clearly meant that this rhino was either very strong evolved ranked monster or even stronger enigma ranked monster because Zoro's katana was enigma ranked monster soul.
"You katana fighting style is good but it is too energy inefficient. You would run out of energy first before your opponent t if you met someone with same strength level." Suddenly this voice came from the woods behind the Zoro.
A person walked out of these woods while wearing dark mask. Crafted from dark, weathered wood, the mask bore intricate carvings that depicted snarling demons and twisted, contorted faces. Its horns curled upward like the branches of a gnarled tree, adding to its intimidating aura.
The eyes of the mask were hollow and eyes of person wearing were slightly red and black in the middle instead of usual blue, black or brown colour of eyes.
Person's height was not any short from 6 feet, he was wearing the black trench coat with red stop patterns on it.
He had a very long katana himself in his hand but there was no curve in it. This was an infamous shikomizue blade that was also called as grass cutter.
He jumped high while holding the katana in form in piercing style, and he made the attack on the eye of monster rhino. As blade was long, after it pierced the eye, it also destroyed the brain of rhino monster killing it.
Zoro looked at this person. Person utilizing the time and distance of monster started making several piercing attacks. His hand speed was really astonishing as he cleared the small monsters first before switching to larger monsters.
.What are you spacing out for? Quickly, stand up and start fighting if you want to leave alive from here?" Person said to Zoro before continuing to fight the monsters again.
