Myles didn't hesitate anymore. His black sword cut through the wounded monster's chest again, this time he exerted more strength so the blade was cleaving deep enough to silence its screech forever.
The body collapsed then twitching before going still.
The next two lunged at him, their claws slashing in frenzied hunger.
Myles stepped forward instead of retreating. His movements become sharper now that he understood their toughness.
He parried one claw with the flat of his blade, then pivoted low. In the next second the crimson glow flashing as he carved across its abdomen.
The monster staggered back and shrieked as always, but Myles pressed without mercy. He sent one thrust straight into its chest, driving the sword deep until the glow in its horn flickered out.
The last creature shrieked and rushed.
Myles pulled his blade free, moved, and slashed upward in one smooth arc.
The horned head split apart and the body collapsed to the fleshy floor with a wet thud.
