Chapter 172: Cause(Part 2)
"This is so gross," Groaned Tacitus, as he smashed a couple of Vermin heads with a powerful slam of his blade, before springing back as several more leapt towards him.
He then whipped his sword across, sharp crunches ringing out as the large blade slammed against the Monsters with crushing force, killing them almost instantly upon impact.
As he swung his blade across to fling them away and get the blood off, he then raised his left foot as one sprang at him and nipped at his heel, before he drove his foot down, stomping on the top its head powerfully and crushing its skull.
"Don’t back away too far from the entrance, we don’t want to give the Queen a chance to get away!" Exclaimed Aster, several Vermin trapped in the grasp of his Telekinetic Zone, before the sound of flesh ripping and squelching rang out as he twisted and mangled their bodies, before blowing them away with a telekinetic shockwave.
About ten minutes had passed since the Vermin Monster Queen unleashed the hidden swarm of her Monsters towards the Knights, their numbers seemingly endless as they continued to stream out ceaselessly.
The trio of Knights had backed away to a few meters outside the entrance of cave, intercepting and cutting down the Vermin as they rushed out of the cave.
Their task would be a lot easier if they backed off further, but they were maintaining a tight defence around the entrance to make sure that the Queen couldn’t sneak out and run away while the swarm of Vermin kept the Knights occupied.
While the Monsters were weak and no serious threat to the Knights, their sheer number was overwhelming, attacking relentlessly, so they couldn’t afford to get pushed back too far.
"Damn it, my arms are starting to ache, I’m not sure how much longer I can keep this up," Nile thought to himself with a grimace, as he ceaselessly swung his axes across.
He whipped his right axe across as a Vermin leapt towards his chest, slicing through its head before swinging his left axe straight down at another one, splitting its skull open, before he swung both his axes outwards as a couple more sprang at him, slashing them apart and recoiling slightly on disgust as some of their blood splattered across his torso.
He then swiftly drove his right knee up as another Vermin jumped in towards him, striking its stomach and knocking it up into the air before unleashing a rapid diagonal swing of his left axe, slicing across its body, grimacing as he felt a slight twinge in his left forearm.
