Killing Monsters
"Weapon?" Aroon was surprised to hear that as the typical way of fighting was through using the two guards to launch deadly beams and lethal darts. "Are you sure?"
"Roar!"
It had the same dark green skin as the other monster, however, it had only one tentacle and a heavier body. Two thick and strangely short arms extended from each side of this weird monster.
However, Aroon knew for sure how deadly these two arms were if he got caught by them.
"A tanker… it seems nice to test my new power on you," Aroon wasn't fazed by the monster. He was more interested in the strange answer he got from his system.
After all, if things went south he could simply use his superhuman strength to kill anything at this moment.
The monster was famed for its tough skin and endurable body. It wasn't easy getting rid of that five paired eyes monster, but it had one fatal weakness… It was moving very slowly.
Which made it an easy target to practice upon.
"A sword," he muttered, "I want a sword."
Aroon ignored the mockery in the system tone, something he never experienced before while dealing with the system.
"You are acting so weird since showing up… speaking to me and even cracking some jokes," he couldn't help but say, "you always used to be cold and silent all the time with us."
Aroon didn't give much heed to the system's regular answer that started to be boring for him.
He imagined a sword while watching the tentacle moving upward from the monster's back and started to dance in the air with its sharp end.
"Wow!'' The next moment a long broadsword appeared in his left hand, looking the same as he pictured in his mind.
He glanced at it with amazement while not knowing from where this sword came.
"I like it!" he grinned.
"Roar!"
"You are noisy," he turned to glance at the rapidly incoming tentacle. "Let me deprive you of your fastest weapon first," he said before turning around himself in reflex and evading the incoming tentacle.
Then he simply landed his sword over it, cutting it into two parts without further ado.
"It's sharp," he noticed how easily it cut through the tentacle, "I like it even more!"
"Later on?" Aroon wasn't putting that monster in the eye at all while moving fast right and left, using an old tactic to make this monster drowsy. "What do you mean by that?"
The system threw this bomb over his head while Aroon's eyes widened for a moment.
"Wait for a second, are you implying that I can… level my grade up?" he didn't want to jump to such a conclusion before confirming it.
The system simply confirmed the wild thought he got just now.
Aroon knew how important getting ranked was in the current world, especially if the ranks were determined by the number of the twins and the special abilities of each one.
For sure the final power of their netvors and their success record would help in determining any system holder rank.
"B- But no one ever managed to do that!!" He was so shocked that he didn't advance and kept flashing right and left.
Even when two other monsters just crushed the wall and entered the room to join their comrade he didn't move to attack and simply kept defending.
This matter held a greater significance to him than killing three meagre monsters like them.
"Hahaha," Aroon couldn't help but laugh, "I take back what I said before about you… you are the coolest stelsel ever!"
"Yes sir!"
Aroon then stopped playing around and first got rid of the two fast tentacles that kept chasing him. His sword was so fierce that it went through the tentacles without any problems.
"Now it's your turn," he said and the monsters roared.
The usual tactic in such situations would be retreating fast, trying to separate the group of monsters apart before hunting them down one by one.
However, Aroon was carried away by the wave of adrenaline in his blood and didn't even consider that. He simply moved forward, clashing directly with the three monsters head-on.
"Bring it on," he roared and the monsters roared back. One monster jumped to the front to act as a shield while the other two moved to surround him from the side.
"Bad move," he sneered while running towards the one in the front. The monster just rose slightly up, letting its triangular-shaped head hit through the roof.
"Wanna crush me with your body? Not that easy buddy," Aroon laughed as he already was well aware of this monster's attacks and tricks.
He fought and killed many of such monsters before with his two brothers. Facing them now just brought back bitter memories and to some extent useful experience.
As he got closer to that monster the monster let its body slam heavily on the ground.
"Told you, it's not that easy," he simply stopped, jumping a couple of steps backwards while letting the monster hit nothing but the air in its descent.
"And now die!"
As the monster slammed on the ground with all of its body, Aroon flashed his left hand and let the sword cut through the exposed head at high speed.
"Roar!"
And the next moment the monster reared its final breath before lying there without any sign of life.
"One down," Aroon found the old game of counting down the kill amusing once again, "two are left to kill."
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The two monsters roared in response to the fall of their comrade. Aroon didn't freeze or wait for them to jump over him like the other one tried to do.
He simply kicked the ground, flashed right and left before jumping high in the air. Holding his sword's hilt with both hands, he landed heavily and shockingly over the head of one monster, cutting it from up down into two big halves.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The two parts hit the ground massively, making him feel a faint tremble. Yet he didn't stop to see them fall as he turned around and kept moving inside the room.
One of the biggest lessons he learnt painfully was not to underestimate these monsters.
Giving them any chance to retaliate was a very big mistake. He knew it and learnt such a lesson first hand when his two brothers fell in front of his eyes.
"Die!" just recalling such events made him quite angry.
He reached the monster at the back and inserted the sword deep inside the flesh. "I recall your heart was situated slightly to the right, right?"
He said it in plain tone while the sword moved all the way to penetrate the monster's body and even got to its belly.
"Roar!"
The monster faintly roared before falling weakly to the ground, and Aroon's sword got extracted out from its body while it fell.
And all of sudden the system said while Aroon stood there, covered in the monster's black blood that gave him a scary image.
"What matter?" Aroon asked while glancing around in check to be sure no other monsters were drawn to here.
