(Kyosei’s View)

These f*ckers are big but there are no big enemies for me. The bulldogs are trying to circle me down. One was clearly too aggressive and when the f*cker tried to jump towards me, I quickly ducked away and pull out my Colt 45 and fired three times on its stomach. Although it looks tough, its belly is not. The three bullets pierced through and caused it to lose strength and crash on the ground. Also, I realized that the dogs multiplied which means there are two additional dogs.

The other dogs saw this and get angry at me as they growl at me with ferocity. As soon as I managed to get into position, they attacked together without any kind of control. I keep my calm and ejected the grappling hook to the nearest dog. Since the hook is a sharp-pointed one at first but will spread out once it pierces or landed on something, I made use of its function to deal with slight damage.

As soon as the grappling hook pierced through the body of the bulldog, the sharp point spreads out inside and attaches its latch inside. As soon as it gets to hold through, I grab the line of the grappling hook and pull the bulldog.

However, I realized the weight of the bulldog. The dog is heavy that I don’t think I can pull it. But that is fine. Grabbing the line, I pull out the kukri again. This particular bulldog is the one that caused the kukri to get a little bit of damage. 

Because they are attacking at the same time, I made sure to avoid them. Still, with the grappling hook attaching one of the rampaging dogs, I need to control my movements properly. Running a little bit and confusing the dogs altogether, it allowed me to get close to the second bulldog. With the kukri raised, I proceeded to stab the bulldog on its nape and with repeated lethal strikes, the bulldog died. The only bulldog left is the one with the grappling hook attached and the one that is still unscathed.

I don’t want to drag the fight any longer so I pull out the Naginata, grab the line for the grappling hook, and charge to the bulldog. The bulldog disregarded the pain coming from the wound that is sustained from the grappling hook and attacked me while opening its humongous mouth. With the Naginata on hand, I focused all my strength to the Naginata and aimed it to its mouth.

”Close that f*cking mouth!”

SSUK!

I slightly throw the Naginata straight to its mouth. With its slender handle and slender blade, it passed through the throat of the dog, straight to its heart. Of course, as an undead, that did not suffice. When the Naginata pierced, I grab the kitchen cleaver behind me and smash it straight to its head.

SSUK - TCHK!

Its skull is thick and I have to strike a little bit harder to make damage. Good thing the cleaver is somewhat different than the ordinary cleaver. From my guess, this is already made with reforged steel. Another push with it and the skull was broken through.

The last dog seems to cower but due to its feral attitude, it refused to retreat. I pulled out the Naginata and retract the grappling hook and held the kitchen cleaver hard. I need to deal with a decisive strike on it so that I don’t need to waste too much energy.

I didn’t bother to just put it on fate’s hand and let the dog escape. I rush forward with my hands ready to pull out the wakizashi out from its sheath. The dog saw me charging. Of course for the bulldog who already lost its rationale tame nature, it also rushes forward with its teeth bared to me.

”Rest in pieces.”

SLASH!

A quick batou stance allowed me to cut the dog in half. As expected of a katana, one slice can cut a monster cleanly.

As soon as the dog’s remains fell, the medics arrived. They carried the two away from the battlefield. Although she was unwilling to leave the battlefield, she has to accompany the injured.

I sighed in dissatisfaction. I wasted my time saving them so that they can assist the battle but they ended up being taken in an emergency. Flicking the katana’s blade to remove the blood, I move my way to the area where I can attack the behemoth.

Just when I saw the Behemoth on sight, the large bastard started moving again causing an Earthquake in the surrounding area. The soldiers on the nearby buildings that I can see clearly from afar had to grab on the pillars and other things around them to avoid falling to the ground.

”The Behemoth is moving! The nearest squad, throw your C4 to the body of the behemoth! Retreat afterward! Prepare the others to throw the bomb while the others will activate the explosion before the second batch can throw their share of C4!”

Since the behemoth is big, they plan to destroy it by explosion chains. This is what the explosion chains are. Once an item or a certain matter is bombarded with an explosion already but if they are still being given with another explosion, the damage dealt on the first explosion can expand. That is what chain explosion means in our code.

With a limited amount of C4, we can only keep on holding on. And we hope that by chain explosions, the Behemoth will be blasted away which is, of course, a plot only. I looked at my watch and sighed. The night rage is almost there. I can bet that we will still be having a hard time as the undead started to gather around.
