Derkile was in Short of what to do next. He steadied his clawed gloves weapon to his hand firmly, and took a good look at the beasts while they charged forward.
They looked like long skeletons with skinny flesh on them, and they had long fangs protruding from their mouths, unlike the beasts Derkile he'd fought in the forest, they had 2 eyes but weren't as strong as the beast Derkile had firstly encountered, which had 6 eyes.
Derkile knew that if he wanted to win the battle between this bunch of beasts, he would have to use his full powers, but he wasn't bothered about it due to the fact the others wouldn't be able to notice if they were engrossed in their own fights. He had decided and now it was time to teach these berserk beasts a lesson...
" I think it's time for some fun"
Derkile said as the beast finally approached them, and the battle began.
One of the beasts tried to hit Derkile with his claws, but using his speed, he easily dodged it and stabbed it with his own clawed gloves in the head. At the same time, another one tried to attack him from the back, still Derkile easily sensed this also with his enhanced senses, he jumped and counter attacked with a powerful flee kick of his own, hitting the beasts in the torso and causing it to be ripped into halves, black blood squirting everywhere.
He wondered how blood still managed to be inside such skinny beasts. He continued fighting, hitting the beasts with powerful punches and kicks, killing each of them with just one hit and also stabbing some with his weapons, until there was a pile of dead beasts around him. So far he had killed the highest amount of beasts among all of them.
It seemed to be easy for Derkile as he was using his secret powers, but the same couldn't be said for others, as they struggled to kill each one of the beasts, even though no one had lost, it was still a struggle for them as more and more of the beasts were rushing out of the ground were they had firstly emerged from.
It looked like the beasts weren't going to stop coming, and they all started to grow tired from fighting them, Soon the beasts started to overpower them and some people started losing to beasts and fell, failing the test, as each one of them fell to the ground they were teleported away from the battle field.
A boy was easily tackled to the ground by the beast, he seemed extremely tired and passed out due to fatigue, and then he was teleported.
Derkile himself had started feeling a pinch of it and was shocked at the amount of beasts still attacking them, had they not killed enough already??.
Derkile needed to think of a strategy, so as to find out the source of the beasts, and he was going to need a help from the others if they were going to pass the test.
He needed to firstly clear all the beasts around him, to get enough time to summon the others. He started punching faster, killing almost all the beasts around him in on go, his speed was incredibly fast, He jumped gave a knee jab to one of the beasts, crushing it's head and sending it flying, crushing into some other beasts in the process. After clearing the beasts around him, he searched for a place he could stay were the beasts would not be able to reach, and he spotted the raised platform a few metres away, where announcer stood on while he was addressing them, it seemed like the coordinators had gone back to the palace and we're watching them from there, probably to send those who lost home.
He ran at supreme speed towards it, and jumped as high as ever onto the platform, he was impressed at his powers, but didn't have enough time to think of all those, he had to call the rest. He spotted Bane along side Luna, fighting with the beasts together.
Bane was using his curved tip sword to slice and stab the beasts, but he wasn't strong and fast enough, as when he was with his own magic weapons, same for Luna who was supporting bane by killing the beasts that tried to attack Bane unawares with her long katana sword, the two of them seemed to use team work, and that was what Derkile needed them to do.
He still wondered what type of relationship the duo had with each other, but kept that aside for now. He tried to tell bane's name but he couldn't hear from the distance, he wondered what he could do, when his eyes came upon a instrument, used by the announcer to make his voice turn louder, while he was addressing them.
He grabbed it and began to yell.
" Guys!!!, hey everyone!!, over here!!"
He yelled, his voice echoing through the field. Everyone stared at him, shocked at how he got there.
" Please, I know this may sound somehow but we need a strategy , I need all of you to get here soon we can plan!!"
But they didn't seem in the mood to do so, Derkile started thinking of what he could do.
He noticed that whenever a beasts was killed, another would show up there, then he understand their weakness, they all moved towards the person with the highest kill counts, so as to take the most powerful down first before taking care of the weaker ones.
Derkile thought of a plan, he looked around and spotted a seven meter long iron pole on the side of the platform. Using his strength he carried it above his head and stood, facing the side where the beasts were rushing out from, ready to haul it down at anytime.
He wanted to make the beasts get distracted by throwing the pole down with all his strength, so the beasts could get distracted, and then the others would have time to rush over here. He just hoped the plan would work.
He used all his might to throw the pole down, it created a screeching noise due to the force Derkile used. When it reached the ground, it went spinning, killing a lot of beasts in the process before it plunged into the ground, creating a large crater.
The beasts suddenly stopped fighting for a second, looking towards the the place where the noise came from, and noticed that a bunch of their comrades where killed, they quickly rushed towards the scene, attacking the pole viciously, but it didn't seem to flinch as they thought it would, so they continued attacking it, forgetting about the others they were fighting.
The people confused, were in Short of what to do next. Derkile quickly snapped them out of it.
" Guys!!, quickly over here, before they come back, we need a plan!!"
Bane and the rest started running as fast they could, towards the platform. Finally as soon as they reached there, they needed to find a way to get up, but that was quickly sorted out, as Derkile had found a ladder on the platform earlier, once they were up, Derkile started speaking.
" Uhm, everyone please I know this may be a difficult time now, but I believe if we follow the plan up I have up ahead, then we might be able to pass this test, so who's in??"
Derkile asked, praying that the others would agree. Soon Bane and Luna raised their hands.
" If this is going to help us pass the test, then am in"
Bane said, sweating profusely, he seemed to have be tired out due to his fight.
Soon others started raising their arms, one by one until all of them had their hands raised, Derkile was happy, they agreed.
" Good, so now this is the plan.....
