Chapter 73: Canidae Horde Part 2

SLASH

Lex with all the strength in his arms slices down with his blade at the beast that was about to gnash at his throat.

With a glint of light, the razor-sharp long blade slashes down and slices into the back of a fox-type beast that was attacking Lex.

The exquisite blade slices into the back of the beast and as Lex follows through with the attack, as he drew back his blade and blood gushed out of the deep wound.

"Amazing" mumbles Lex in awe seeing how much the blade had increased his attack power.

Howling in agony the fox beast fell onto the ground writhing in pain as its companions became even more infuriated and charged at Lex furiously.

Lex jumped backwards in retreat as he flicked the blood off his blade as he prepares to defend himself against the savage beasts rushing towards him.

No longer seeing retreat as a plausible tactic in this battle, Lex abruptly stops retreating and prepares for battle.

Tightly clenching the hilt, Lex streams as much energy as he can into his arms, as he continues to rapidly circulate the overflowing energy in his body.

Lex stood in the base stance for Katana wielding and closed his eyes as he calmed his nerves and his fused his senses with the blade.

His Scouting Eye allowed him to still see all around him, even with his eyes closed as the enraged beasts pounced at him from all directions.

Lex felt everything around him and steadied his breathing and calmed his mind as he continues to circulate his energy, unfazed by the beasts who were about to strike him.

While the beasts were mid-air, Lex suddenly makes fast movements and slashes his Katana at incredible speeds.

Turning around while slashing with great speed, power and accuracy, Lex sliced open the necks of all the 6 beasts that had jumped at him from different directions.

Blood splattered all over Lex. as the beasts flipped around in the ground suffocating with their throats slit.

Lex felt the exhilarating thrill of battle and felt that the katana was the perfect weapon for this situation and was great for fighting groups and allows for close combat battle from a safe distance.

The Canidae beasts were shocked by what had just occurred and seeing the power of Lex not being higher than them and for some of them Lex was weaker, yet he was able to kill 6 of them within seconds.

With the long blood-stained Katana in his hands and his eyes closed, Lex felt on top of the world and that he could defeat anybody.

However, from his previous experience, he knew better than to give his opposition time to recover or call for reinforcements and he rushes towards the of the beasts with the long thin blade in hand.

The intelligent beasts that were always alert saw Lex charging at them and regrouped together, preparing to defend against Lex and get revenge for their fallen brethren.

Despite their intelligence, which was high for a beast but still incomparable to a human. they were a symbiotic species and would always seek to get revenge for those fallen from their pack.

Their eyes burnt with hate, yet they didn't seem to realise what they were doing to strengthen themselves and their tribe, massacring innocent, weak and poor humans, was something that imbued hatred into Lex.

As Lex had found out through his fast-paced experience ever since integrating with the system, there is no such thing as right or wrong, but there is only self-gain and it is based on perspective.

With his 360 degrees vision and his katana, Lex rushed towards the grouped Canidae beasts who were growling at him and bearing their fangs.

The group of 29 Canidae beasts still alive were huddled together hoping to overwhelm Lex in numbers as they slowly crept towards Lex who was running towards them.

"ARGH" screams Lex as he charges towards them.

The beasts roar and growl as they are about to clash.

Lex dodges a claw slash from one beast and a bite from another beast, but although he was able to see all the attacks, his body was too slow to react and dodge them all.

Stuck by a few of the beasts, Lex had deep wounds all around his body.

Although they weren't fatal they were extremely painful and Lex was losing blood rapidly.

Kano tightened its wrap around Lex's body to reduce the blood loss as Lex clenched his teeth and slashed at the beast closest to him.

It was a wild battle as Lex took another two Mortal Energy Recovery Pills and his body was overloading as he continued to circulate his energy and attack the beasts as they attacked him.

Kano was dyed red with both Lex's and the beast's blood and after slicing over twenty beasts fatally he stood facing the last 8 beasts still alive.

Every time Kano was cut it seemed to reconnect straight after and Lex's robe was the same as when he began apart from being covered in blood.

Stabbing his katana into the ground to support himself, Lex felt that his body would collapse from blood loss at any moment and if he took another pill the side effects would be deadly to Lex, but he also felt his strength rise slightly.

"I can't stop now" he roars as he staggers towards the final beasts, who were also tired, with his long blade.

The last beasts still had the same hate and determined flame in their eyes they had when the battle began, and so did Lex.

Both understood that they were battling for survival, strength and to protect their own and the stronger one will come on top.

Lex was not one to give up and in such an intense and wild battle was where Lex would always thrive, when he had to push past his limits.

Withdrawing his blade out of the ground, Lex and the final beasts slowly and cautiously approach each other.
