The first monster's body slammed into the ground, while my watch rang, indicating that I had gained ten points.
The remaining four were already charging toward me, their mouths stretched wide open, their screams—like nails scraping against a chalkboard—echoing through the area and irritating my ears.
The first reached me, raising his long arms as if trying to pull me into a hug… then bite my head off with that wide mouth of his.
I didn't rush.
I let him reach me and try to wrap his arms around me. Then I slipped between his arms as they tried to close around my body, and at the same time, my sword passed through his waist, cleaving him in two.
The third had already opened his mouth toward me, only for my sword to enter between his teeth and come out the other side of his grotesque head. With a bit of force, I lifted my blade, splitting his head in half as it hung there hideously. Even before his body hit the ground, I was already on the last two.
