Chapter 202: Imbue Light

After watching the last of the monsters pile in after the first that had the person Lake turned to his companions and asked. "Do you know what those were?" If they did he might not have to wait till the first fight to know how strong they were. "They looked like gargoyles, but they were the wrong color."

Lake knew nothing about gargoyles in this world but he had heard of them before and from what he knew they were stone monsters that lived on churches or something like that; he wasn't too sure about the part where they lived. "What color are they normally?"

"They are usually a gray color because of the fact that they're made from stone or metal. Those ones were a dark black color so they might be something we have never seen before." Lake nodded and asked the three dwarves. "Should we go after the ones we saw enter the building or move on?"

"We should try and find others before we start fighting. We might not last long alone depending on what they turn out to be." Lake nodded and started to head in the direction that the suspected gargoyles had come from. He could hear a commotion coming from this direction so he was sure that would be where they found other people fighting. The source of this content is N0veII_bIn

They didn't make it far before they ran into more of those gargoyles. Like the last ones they had seen, these ones were following one that was carrying a body. Lake was sure they would find a nice quiet place to eat their meal if they just stayed out of their way so he made backed himself behind the corner he had just passed.

One of the three dwarves looked around the corner and said. "They're definitely gargoyles, but why are they taking bodies with them? Gargoyles can't eat; they're a type of summoned golem." Lake had no answer for this so he just shrugged and kept walking towards the noise that he was sure was others like them fighting these apparently strange gargoyles.

Once he started to get close enough to the noise to actually tell there were in fact people fighting just a few streets over Lake stopped again to let another group of gargoyles pass with a screaming man in their hands. Turning towards the dwarves, Lake said. "I know I should have asked earlier but can you three fight?"

The sword started to glow and the light it was giving off made a good amount of the gargoyles notice them and look their way. Lake was fine with that and while taking his first step towards the gargoyles he saw what looked like chains fly from behind him and wrap up the legs of a good portion of the gargoyles.

This was the spell the dwarves had chosen to use and he felt it made sense for them to help in this way since Metal, which was the element they specialized in, wasn't particularly strong in this situation. Like this they could use their own mana to slow down the gargoyles that would have attacked them otherwise and give Lake time to thin them out.

Lake didn't go for the ones on the ground though and chose to kill the ones that were still on their way towards them. Once he was close enough that his sword would be able to bite deep into the gargoyle, Lake used Crunch and swung towards its midsection.

He was fighting against what the dwarves had called a special type of golem so he assumed he would have more success if he cut them in half instead of decapitating them which was what he did most of the time in a fight.

He had aimed well and his strike not only sliced through the gargoyle's midsection but took one of its arms off at the elbow as well. Lake didn't inspect the one he hit past that and just went towards the next one. If it ended up being that his attack wasn't lethal to the gargoyle he would know because he wouldn't get any Exp so he could just move on.

Slicing the next gargoyle, Lake chose to do so slightly higher up on its body to see if he would get Exp right away this time. Even if they were golems they should have some sort of weakness and he might find it if he tried different spots instead of just attacking the same spot on each of them.

Not getting any Exp Lake decided he would try the neck this time. Using crunch again since he had already used it twice and needed to Lake took the next gargoyles Head off with his next attack and still no Exp. It still went down though so he moved to the next one and decided he should split its head.

Lake felt there was a good chance that it's core or whatever would be inside its head. Cleaving its head in half Lake was able to make it all the way down to its crotch and completely split it in half because of the effects of Crunch. He still didn't receive any Exp though and taking a quick look behind him and seeing the ones he had attacked still on the ground he was starting to think that there was a chance Gargoyles just didn't give any Exp to begin with.

He wasn't too worried about Leveling up so he just moved this possibility to the back of his mind and continued to attack any gargoyle that got close to him. As he was doing this his glowing sword was slowly getting the attention of all the gargoyles that hadn't paid any attention to him at first so the group he was fighting was growing giving the fighters that had been fighting for their lives a chance to breathe.
