City of Desire [Kingdom Building]

Chapter 207: Battling The Horde II

Bam!
 
The huge blue gorilla swung its fiery fist, which would have blasted me to the smithereens, but instead, its fist crashed against me. It had crashed against the watery wall that suddenly materialized in front of it.
 
At the same time, the watery tentacles came down from the ground and bound it. 
 
Sizzling under the fire that spread from its first to vaporize it.
 
Though, before it could evaporate those water binds; an enchanted spear came from behind and pierced through his chest.
 
The blue gorilla monster died, but no one celebrated. There were too many such monsters everywhere to have even a second to celebrate.
 
Hun!
 
The gorilla monster had just died; when I saw aireni, a wind-clawed puma, with pure white fur attacked me.
 
It leaped at me. 
 
If it succeeded, the monster would make me fall with its weight and tear my head off with its sharp teeth, and pierce those sharp claws into my heart.
 
I reacted instantly and attacked it with Swift Blade and Weighted Strike.
 
It saw the sword coming and changed its position to the right, stepping on air as if it was solid before coming at me even faster speed.
 
I had been expecting it and moved my sword right toward it, faster than before. 
 
Aireni, is a wind elemental monster; it could use the wind elemental in its claws to step into the air. It makes it very hard for enemies to strike when they can step into the air.
 
Thankfully, it couldn’t do it for more than one or two times at each leap at its current grade or it would be a terrifying monster.
 
Clang!
 
My sword moved to strike its head, but it swiftly blocked it with its claws. The enchantments flared and the blade, which could cut through the metals, stopped by the big claw.
 
I took a step back to manage the shock and create a distance, but it didn’t give me a chance, and attacked again.
 
I reacted instantly, by attacking it, despite my hand hurting.
 
The claw held an impressive power. If my stats hadn’t been high, I would have dislocated my shoulder.
 
I am glad that I had leveled up a week and a half ago in my main class. 
 
I used the attribute point to take my vitality to ten. It had been a wise choice. If I had used it on the mental attributes like I had wanted to, I would have regretted it a lot.
 
Clang!
 
Once again, I stopped its attack with my sword.
 
Growl!
 
It landed on the ground and growled at me. It had also cast a glance at Fang, at my feet, before focusing on me again.
 
It leaped at me once again, and this time, much faster, with its claws glowing with power.
 
Clang
 
I swing my sword and stop the attack with Quick Parry.
 
It is a good thing; I have used the skill because the shock is more powerful and without it, I would have dislocated my shoulder or worse, broken the bones.
 
The skill is not the only one that helped me with it. It is also the footwork that helped me distribute the shock quickly.
 
Clang Clang!
 
It attacked again, and I defended before attacking, which it had stopped with its claws. The enchanted blade barely seemed to have any effect on it, except for making it angrier.
 
A few more seconds passed and not it could do anything to me, nor I was able to do anything to it.
 
I couldn’t touch it while in the air, where one was most defenseless. It would always defend, even when it was falling.
 
It is so agile and fast, that nothing seems to be working against it, but I have to find a way.
 
Till now, I have been lucky, that no other monster has attacked me, but I won't be forever, and I have to finish it before that, or I won’t be able to deal with the other monster while engaging with it.
 
It will not let it happen.
 
“Is that all you got, kitty? I thought you were one powerful monster, but you couldn’t even touch me,” I taunted and attacked the monster.
 
Growl!
 
It growled. It might not be able to understand me, but it seemed to understand the emotions, seeing how it had become angry.
 
Clang!
 
It stopped my attack, with its claws before opening my mouth and releasing the wind bullet.
 
Fuck!
 
I cursed immediately, seeing that as the fear filled my heart.
 
I read only Grade 2 monsters aireni could launch the air bullets, but it seemed like the information I had read was not complete or this one little special.
 
I don’t care for what it is; the most important thing is that I had to dodge the attack.
 
That is what I am doing, using every bit of speed the Rapid Legs give me and even it didn’t seem to be enough, seeing how fast that wind bullet is coming at me.
 
Rip!
 
The air bullet hit me, piercing through the flesh of my arm, and creating a small hole just above the bone.
 
If it had been struck a few centimeters below, the armguard would have been defended against it and a centimeter left and it would have gone for my heart.
 
Even though I am wearing a chest plate, nothing can be said when it comes to sharp elemental attacks like this.
 
Many times, people take risks, thinking their defensive tools will help them, but they overestimate the defenses and end up losing their lives.
 
I don’t want to be one of those people.
 
‘It had nearly killed me,’ I thought, as I moved my sword toward the monster coming at me.
 
It had not just launched the air bullet at me, but also came at me after. If its first attack didn’t finish me; it wanted to do it with a second.
 
Clang!
 
Thankfully, my sword reached it in time and was able to stop it. 
 
I was trying for its legs, but the monster was too fast. It had stopped my sword with that powerful claw. 
 
Sending me back, before attacking me again.
 
Clang Clang Clang
 
Time passed as I attacked and defended. I tried to take out its legs and head countless times, but the monster was too fast.
 
It would always stop my attack.
 
‘I have to do something, or it will be too late,’ I thought and searched for options, and it didn’t take long for me to think of one.
 
It is my skill. The first I got in the combat class.
 
I used it quite many times in the past, but rarely used it recently as most of my opponents would counter it, but it could work against this monster, like it had against those dumb zombies.
 
With the mind made, I activated Consecutive Strikes, along with Swift Blade and Weighted Strike.
 
These three skills put pressure on me, but I bore it and attacked the monster.
 
Clang Clang Clang!
 
It defended and attacked again, and I countered it without losing the rhythm of the skill and attacked again.
 
Unlike the people who could recognize the skill and move to break it. The monster could only sense the danger with its instincts and nothing else.
 
I attacked and defended without breaking the rhythm of the skill and slowly it got stronger and stronger, before I knew it, I had used it twenty-four times, taking its power, higher and higher.
 
The monster senses something wrong, seeing the way it is growling, but it can’t tell what is wrong.
 
I continued with the attack without breaking the rhythm, which is harder than it looks, and I had to take the risks. 
 
Finally, I used it thirty-sixth times and moved to thirty-seven, where the power of the attack increased further. 
 
Clang!
 
This time, the monster was barely able to stop my sword on time. If it had been even a fraction late, I would have cut the bastard's legs.
 
Growl!
 
It shook the monster, and it growled at me angrily, before releasing the wind bullet at me and leaped for my head.
 
This time, I didn’t move to dodge the attack, but I couldn’t. The bullet is too close.
 
The monster had learned from its last mistake and launched the bullet from a close distance I couldn’t dodge.
 
Since I couldn’t dodge the bullet; I swung my sword at it, harnessing every bit of strength my body and skills could give me.
 
My sword moved faster than it had ever been and reached the bullet in an instant.
 
Clang!
 
My blade clashed against the bullet, and sparks flew. 
 
Rip!
 
I felt the strain on my arm due to the sheer momentum the bullet had before the enchantment of my sword flared to its peak and started to cut through the bullet.
 
A moment later, my sword cut through the bullet, with two ends moving past me from both directions, with much less speed and power, while my sword continued toward the monster.
 
It is shocked and alarmed seeing my sword coming for its head.
 
It had learned from the last time. It had launched the wind bullet from an even closer distance and targeted my head. It is a sound strategy for its small brain, but even it didn’t think I would take on its bullet.
 
Now, my sword was moving very fast toward its head, and to survive it, it was trying to leap higher into the air.
 
It had no other choice. If it came to me, to bite my head, I would decapitate it.
 
This way, way, it wants to save its head from my sword and block my sword through the claws of its hind legs.
 
Unfortunately, they won’t be able to stop my sword. 
 
They are slow.
 
It had made a mistake from the beginning and now leaping into the air. It had given me a clear way toward its stomach.
 
I finally got the opportunity, and I will be damned. If I missed this.
 
Soon, my sword reached it and its hind legs, which it had been counting on to stop my sword, had yet to reach me, like I had been expected.
 
I could see the terror in the monsters’ eyes. As it tried to step into the air again in its panic, slowing its momentum further.
 
People aren’t the only one’s panic and make mistake after mistake; monsters are also the same.
 
Hun!
 
Finally, my sword reached its belly, and I felt the air resistance appear, but it was far weaker than what the bullet had and my sword tore through it, before touching its skin.
 
My sword began to cut through its skin, slowly stopping only when it reached its bone and even then, it didn’t stop for long and started to cut through it.
 
Monster bones are tough as metal and even tougher than it, but my sword has sharpness, enchantment, and a great power behind it.
 
Pachack!
 
So, it cut through its bones one by one, before finally coming out from the other side. 
 
Diving the monster into two pieces.
