Zantem watched with boredom until, finally... the first soldier emerged from the tunnel.
His elemental blade sang through the air, so fast that the human didn't even have time to register his death before his head rolled among the cores.
'Pathetic,' he thought as the body fell. 'He didn't even try to defend himself.'
The next two were equally easy. One didn't even manage to scream before his life was extinguished. At this rate, he would obtain enough kills to get the option to return and report to the Queen before recovering the core.
It was almost insulting how simple it was.
Until it wasn't.
The new soldier emerged differently from the others. His movements were cautious, measured. His eyes stopped on the bodies scattered outside the tunnel, and Zantem could see the exact moment understanding blazed in his gaze.
This human's summon was combined, and the attack Zantem launched at his neck... Only did 180 points of damage.
