The barrel shrunk down and widened slightly, before Aarav raised his arm off to the side, a bone bullet shooting out with imnse speed and zipping dozens of ters away, disappearing from sight in no ti.
"Ohh, I get it...it must have already been in Blood Mode, that’s why nothing happened when I chanted. This feels weird, I can sort of instinctively tell how to operate it...[Blood Mode]," He chanted, the barrel narrowing and elongating, before he firing out a blindingly rapid, piercing beam of blood to the side.
"Nice...now, hurry up and na it so that I can let go already," I remarked with a wry smile.
"Oh, my bad, dude. Uh, let’s see...hm, think I’ll na it after my Class, Blood n’ Bone. Yeah, I’ll call it the Blood n’ Bone Blaster! That’s a bit of a mouthful, so maybe BBB for short?"
"Sure, whatever you want. It’s set as Blood n’ Bone Blaster," I replied, as I let go of his shoulder.
"Cool...this is aweso," He grinned, a gleam in his eyes as he raised his arm and admired his new weapon.
"We should probably get moving soon, shouldn’t we?" Spoke up Cleo.
Gotta say, the further we’ve progressed, the less awkward she’s been. Maybe it’s because of how dire the situation is, seems stress and anxiety is the key to helping her be less awkward around people faster.
"Yeah, we should get going. The sooner we reach the top floor, the better," Nodded Aria prudently.
"Agreed. Avaritia, can you track the scent of the next Sentinel?"
"," She nodded, before leading the way.
"?" Inquired Gula, as she slithered after .
"Hang by Avaritia. Take care of any Monsters that cross our path from up ahead," I replied, after mulling it over.
"."
We followed after Avaritia as she followed the scent of the next Sentinel, with Gula sticking close to her as she led the way.
The other Apostles were on either side of the party, Acedia and Ira up front on either side, with Luxuria and Invidia behind Acedia and Superbia behind Ira.
I decided against summoning Ai, since we don’t want to overcrowd the group too much, it could end up being counterproductive.
It’ll be either Aarav or Jaden who fights the next Sentinel, Angus. I hope it ends up being Aarav, since the next and final Sentinel is supposed to be the strongest.
No offense to Aarav, he’s plenty powerful himself, but Jaden’s undeniably a step above him.
"," Avaritia suddenly inford , slowing down slightly.
"Yeah, I can sense them too, there’s about forty of them," Added Cleo warily.
"Got it. You’re up, Gula, show what you’ve got. If it’s too many to handle, I’ll-..."
"," She stated confidently.
Well, if she says so.
As we continued moving, the Monsters soon ca into sight, several Bullocks and a handful of Minotaurs.
Gula was quick to spring into action, slithering across the grass towards the herd of Monsters with imnse speed, her claws gleaming with a venomous glisten.
She weaved through the space as she closed in on them, slashing at their sides with her claws as she zipped past them faster than they could react.
Agonized roars of pain rang out as the ones she’d clawed spasd and convulsed, coughing out blood and collapsing with thuds, as her venom coursed through their bodies.
Damn, that looks excruciating, real glad poison and venom have no effect on ...
It didn’t take long before she took down the entire herd, most of them having succumbed to her venom and died, the last few that she’d scratched not too far off from death.
She slithered towards one of the Minotaurs, before snapping her jaws around its side and tearing off a large chunk of flesh, blood streaming down the sides of her mouth as she chomped on it before swallowing.
She then took another bite, eating through the Monster ravenously.
As the rest of us walked over, she stopped eating with a reluctant look on her face, before rejoining Avaritia, her face slick with blood.
"," Frowned Avaritia, her snout twitching.
"Here, use this," I chid in, taking out a copy of a bottle of water, opening it before handing it to Gula, who dunked the water over her head, washing the blood off.
"?"
"Uh, sure, here you go."
She took hold of the cap with a curious look on her face, before twisting it off and opening her mouth, pouring the water in.
"."
There is clean water in the Monster world though, I found several crystal clear streams when I-...oh, right, they burned down most of that forest to flush out.
Guess she never ca across one.
Anyway, as we continued on, Gula cut down the Monsters we ca across along the way, with so help from Ira and Acedia a few tis with the especially large groups.
And it wasn’t much longer before the next ring of pillars ca into sight.
Within the pillars, was the next Sentinel, a humanoid bull Monster, laying on the grass with a bored look on his face, a large warhamr next to him.
He let out a yawn and rolled out, before his eyes widened as his gaze fell upon us. His expression brightened as he sprang onto his feet excitedly, picking up the hamr and spinning it around with a grin.
"Ah, finally! Welco, humans, allow to congratulate you on making it this far! Hm? Is that Kanine and dusa? You look different. Well, I suppose it doesn’t matter. More importantly, I finally get to fight! I am Angus, the Bovine King!" He introduced himself cheerfully, a bright gleam in his eyes as he stared at us with a look of anticipation on his face...
