Dave charged forward, his fists flying as he targeted the beasts guarding the mother crystal. With a swift punch, he took down one beast, its body crumpling to the ground. He moved on to the next, his fists striking with precision, the beast’s skull sinking deeply into its head. The sound of crunching bone and the beasts’ pained roars filled the air as Dave continued his assault.
In a few seconds, about a dozen of basic beasts lay lifeless on the ground, Dave wasn’t slowing down at all. He dashed towards another group, his fists punching and killing them with deadly efficiency. The beasts’ attack were no match for his speed and strength, and they fell one by one. And soon, a fraction of the beasts had been put down, but Dave’s gaze remained fixed on the rest.
The intermediate beasts were still closing in from behind, but they were too far away. For now, Dave focused on taking out all of the basic beasts in front of him. If he was able to take the mother crystal before the intermediate beasts catch up with him, then he’ll take it and leave the area.
There’ll be no point in engaging them when he’s already had the mother crystal with him. Unless he wants to continue with his beast army building goal.
As he stood amidst the carnage, about to take down another pack of beasts, he then notice something quite peculiar. An intermediate beast had appeared among the rest that surrounded the mother crystal, its eyes were fixed on a basic beast.
Then with lightning-fast speed, it pounced, biting into the basic beast’s chest. Its claws dug deep, ripping through flesh and black blood, until a red fiery crystal was revealed.
The intermediate beast then swiftly plucked out the crystal as he proceeded into placing it into its mouth. A silent, crunchy sound accompanied the act, and Dave’s eyes widened in surprise. It felt as if the beast had gained a bit of energy from what it just did.
Moreover, the beast continued as it repeated the process with another basic beast, standing by its side. Dave watched, transfixed, as the intermediate beast continued to harvest crystals from the beasts around him and from the ones that had fallen. Seeing this, Dave had started placing all of the beasts he had killed into his void space. He was also in need of their crystals, so he won’t let it take them.
The strange acts of the beast and the scene before him were both bizarre and fascinating. The beasts that were killed by the intermediate beast, for their crystals seemed to be offering no resistance at all, it was almost as if they were willingly surrendering their lives to the beasts.
Yet, Dave didn’t let this strange phenomenon distract him from his goal. He continued to attack the remaining beasts, his movements were swift and deadly. His priority was to stop the intermediate beast from consuming the crystals, as he didn’t know what it was planning to do next.
