Chapter 31: CH 031: Fighting as a team (Mass release 2)
The beasts were closing in, their eyes gleaming with hunger as they moved in slow, deliberate steps. The ground trembled under the weight of their massive bodies, their jagged teeth bared in snarls that sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
Gunther’s hand tightened around the hilt of his large sword, the blade glinting ominously in the fading light. Its curved edge gleamed, promising a swift end to any creature unlucky enough to be in its path.
With a deep breath, he unsheathed the weapon in one fluid motion, the sharp sound of metal scraping against the sheath echoing in the tense silence. His eyes flickered to the others, who were already preparing their own weapons. Some drew axes, others pulled out cutlasses, and a few checked their guns, all of them fully aware of the danger ahead. They had no choice now, they had to fight.
"Everyone, attack!" Gunther’s voice rang out, authoritative and commanding. His words sparked an immediate response from the group.
Without hesitation, they charged in and Dave had also found himself moving with them, his heart pounding in his chest. The weight of the situation was heavy in the pit of his stomach. This wasn’t just a training exercise, it was real, and they were facing creatures unlike anything they’d encountered before.
Yet, despite the fear bubbling in his chest, he couldn’t deny the adrenaline coursing through his veins. He was in this now, and there was no turning back.
’Heck, is this how it feels as an ordinary human? Is this how the others had felt during all of their expeditions? I must say, they are really brave. I don’t thinkv
Chris, who had fallen into step beside Dave, glanced at him and spoke in a low voice, as if trying to steady the others. "Although they are beasts, they don’t seem too dangerous. Look at their slow movements, we should be able to take out the majority of them without too much trouble."
His words were meant to reassure, and in a way, they did. The beasts weren’t charging at them with wild, unpredictable speed. Instead, they moved like slow, lumbering giants, their claws scraping against the earth as they inched forward. It made them seem less terrifying, almost manageable, despite their size and strength.
