Soon, the monsters were running, whistling shrieks echoing in the cave chamber. Some of the monsters saw Stallus and took their chances with her.
Since she was not using any skill, they thought she was the weakest, and they were right in a sense. She had no crystals to work with, but she wove her essence around her heavily.
They ran at her, and with her light feet, she moved between them like fleeting shadows. Her hands flashed out, and she started fighting with her fists.
Her hand struck out at ribs. Although she didn't have the strength of Catena, her blows hit hard and fast. Her small knife flashed.
She used that to her advantage to block and cut fingers. The monsters hissed and shrieked, realizing that the one they thought was weak was actually strong and could hurt them back.
