Chapter 210: Attack Run

Lake started his run with a subtle move of his sword that would count as the start of the attack and kept that going forever as he moved forward. He was holding his sword at about shoulder height so once he started cutting into monsters he was able to take heads and arms pretty consistently depending on how tall the monster was.

Finishing the last monster, Lake was happy to find that his idea for this running attack had allowed him to use less stamina while killing the monsters even faster than what he had been doing earlier. This would mean he would be able to clear out a group of monsters even faster and have less to worry about from them.

Lake was about to start running again to build up another monster hoard to kill when he saw a gargoyle jump from one of the buildings onto the street he was standing on. It was clear the monster had heard what was going on here and decided to take the shortest route to him which was over the building.

He was happy to know he had succeeded in drawing the monsters towards him but he wasn't sure standing here waiting for them would be faster than him running around but he was willing to give it a try. Cutting down the gargoyle Lake waited until the next one showed up and it took a while so he started to think they might be having a hard time finding him.

Putting his sword away, Lake smacked the gargoyle to the ground in an ear ringing sound. Lake saw the fact they had metal bodies as a perfect way for him to make some noise to draw the others right towards him. The fact that Crunch made his strikes meet no resistance meant they were pretty quiet with the only real nose they made being the whistling from a sharp blade cutting the air.

Lake didn't kill the gargoyle right away and inspected the dent he had been able to create with his slap. He had been wondering for a while if he would be able to kill one of them with his bare hands but was too apprehensive to try it because they were made of metal and he had been in time sensitive fights with them.

This was the first time he was alone while fighting them as well so he wasn't worried about the others getting killed while he tested his strength. Seeing his strike had also caused a small crack to appear, Lake knew he would be able to fight them like this but decided it would be a waste of time for him to do so.

At least that was what he had been told by his father. Donny had only been a few years old when the Dark Domain had fallen so he hadn't actually been there to see what had gone wrong during their defensive effort. It was too bad because he felt having that experience would help him understand why the Demon Worshipers were doing this or what they would do next.

At the moment he was stuck just reacting to whatever happened instead of being able to predict what would happen next and it would mean they would be stuck with the Demon Worshipers having all the initiative in these fights. After he thought this Donny was able to disengage who he had been stuck fighting for the last minute or so and turn and attack someone who had been facing away from him in the back.

This wouldn't have been possible in a one on one since his opponent would have used this as an opportunity to attack him but he had two people that were also taking his main opponent's attention so he had all the time in the world to strike other enemies from behind. This was one of the main reason fights like these ended pretty soon after you were outnumbered.

Of course they had been the ones who had been outnumbered at the beginning but they had been able to slice through the undead pretty quickly and from there the Demon Worshipers had been the ones on the back foot. Dodging a spell that had almost hit him Donny looked where it had come from to see it had just been a random spell that had missed its original target.

There was always a chance that something like that would happen in fights where both sides were just all mixed together so he quickly forgot about it and went back to distracting his main opponent in hopes the rogue he was fighting with would use the opportunity to finally land an attack on the Demon Worshiper's back.

Even if they missed though the Demon Worshiper would have to react to dodge or block so he would have a chance to attack the Demon Worshiper as well unless the Demon Worshiper used some kind of defensive spell that kept him from doing any damage. Right after the Demon Worshiper turned towards him Donny saw the rogue appear and go for a back stab.

Not seeing any signs of a spell being cast or the Demon Worshiper turning to defend, Donny knew that they hadn't noticed the attack coming from behind. Donny still swung his sword though on the off chance the Demon Worshiper noticed at the last second and tried to dodge.

His swing didn't end up being necessary though because the rogue was able to plunge their dagger deep into the center of the Demon Worshiper's back. A strike like this would hit the spine and the heart so they would be Dead within a few seconds if they weren't hiding some kind of health item in their mouth already.

It was also possible that this particular Demon Worshiper was an undead and in that case they would need to finish the job by destroying a few other critical parts of their body or they would slowly heal over time. It didn't seem like that was the case though because the rogue had already moved on to find a new opponent so they had probably received the Exp that told them the Demon worshiper had died from their attack.

That meant he could move on as well. Looking around he found another Demon Worshiper not too far from where he was with their back to him and decided he might as well go for the kill. He wasn't very sneaky because of his heavy armor but there was enough noise to make that not really matter.
