Chapter 10: the first exobeast kill

Due to it being stretched very thin, the makeshift rope snapped in 2 with just one laser beam.

BOOM!!! His hard work was finally put to use, as the handmade spears quickly sprang up. It was just an imitation, so the spears didn’t have enough force to shoot off from the ground like the ones used by the Spartan army. But this was just the right force to inflict enough damage to the big cat.

It seems like the panther sensed the danger, as it tried altering its jump trajectory but it was already too late. The spears ruthlessly impaled its exposed belly, it growled in rage and pain as its bowels and blood freely flowed out.

Due to the force and momentum from the panther’s moving speed, the spears conveniently cut it from where it impaled on its belly to its leg as one of the spears got stuck in its leg bone.

Still refusing to underestimate it, Clark leaped at it as it fell, stabbing with his sword at its neck.

More blood rained down as the panther struggled violently, but he steadied himself despite the shaking. He quickly stabbed its other undamaged eye with immaculate precision, successfully blinding both eyes. He stabbed with his other dagger repeatedly on its head, as he got bloodied all over from the blood spurting out.

On Leo’s side, after the Leopard gave Clark a scar, he bravely clashed with the exobeast as they quickly entered a bloody melee battle. He persevered as his injuries accumulated, while he tried injuring it also.

He witnessed how the panther was caught in the formation, and how Clark dealt with it. So, he restrained himself a little, stalling by focusing on defense and waiting for his friend to finish the panther off so he could help him kill this troublesome leopard together.

Not long later, the panther grew weak as it now barely clung to its life. As Clark saw how it was still alive but weak, he glanced towards Leo’s battle. Seeing how bloodied his friend was, he decisively left the panther with his dagger stuck on it.

Even though the leopard was weaker than the panther, it was still an exobeast. It was already impressive that Leo was able to hold on for so long without dying.

He picked his sword up and sprinted forward to meet the leopard, the intelligent big cat tried to retreat immediately as it already saw its stronger companion dying. But its mistake was for it to not have retreated since. Leo sensed its attempt to retreat and did a reckless bash on it with his body.

After the reckless charge, he immediately felt dizzy as he tried to remain sane while the leopard staggered towards his friend as it was obvious it didn’t expect that.

Clark thrust his sword forward with outstanding force, as the air parted to allow the sword to move faster. An exobeast is naturally a different beast entirely with inhuman instinct, as it displayed its insane battle reflexes.

It clawed with its limbs despite its staggering posture while trying to bite at his head. He was surprised, but due to his increasing experience, he pulled back releasing a sideways swing at it with his sword.

Pfft!! The sword connected accurately to its neck as blood rained down, it roared in pain as it fell. During all this, Leo was already clear-headed. He followed by jumping up as he smashed down with his sword at the wounded exobeast’s neck.

The leopard’s head rolled away from its body, as it twitched on the ground. Both friends quickly turned to face the panther alertly after this, they were both relieved as they found that it already breathed its last breath.

Pheew!! They both exhaled exaggeratedly in relief as they plopped down to the ground tiredly.

Leo suddenly burst out in laughter as he roared, “Clark we actually killed an exobeast. Not one, but two exobeasts,” he exclaimed with joy. He continued laughing as he felt a strong sense of joy and fulfillment engulf his heart. Clark couldn’t help it; the joy was infectious as he also burst out laughing.

So there, 2 bloodied friends lied, as they both vented their craziness without restraint.

They rested like that for 30 minutes before they stood up to wash themselves up. They found a small water reservoir nearby, they rejoiced as they quickly washed themselves up. It didn’t feel good being drenched in blood.

“Leo this will be my first time getting exobeast meat. I’m really tired, let’s eat before we tend to our injuries”, Clark suggested as they were both famished. That’s exactly what they did, as they roasted the meat and ate to their satisfaction.

To their surprise, they found that time was already around 4:00 pm, so they decided to rest and that’s what they did.
