31 Birth of a duo (2/2)
Therefore, he focused only on the Beta in front of him who was swinging its arms from left to right aiming for his throat with its claws.
Many more would come, so Lazar was ready to multiply the daring maneuvers to get rid of each of them as quickly as possible.
With his left hand Lazar wedged his scabbard against his shoulder. Doing so he was taking the risk of parrying with one hand an attack he had failed to parry cleanly with two during his fight against Lucas.
This experience was allowing him to see the difference between the strength he had in his last fight with a constitution of 12 and that now with a constitution of 22.
He managed to stop the Beta's claws and this time he wasn't sent flying nor did he feel that his bones were going to shatter upon receiving the impact of the attack.
He had parried the attack with enough ease to determine that his strength was now slightly greater than that of the Beta, 'Compared to my past strength it's night and day.'
Blocking the attack this way wasn't only a test of strength, the point of this maneuver was above all to be able to defend and attack at the same time.
The Beta in front of Lazar for example had only focused on his offense using both arms to attack, so confident in himself that he didn't even notice let alone defend against Lazar's blade which was also heading towards his throat.
The cut was clean and deep, the Beta collapsed right away and the blood gushing from his throat formed a pool on the floor quickly.
”OWOOOOO!” Lazar refocused his attention on the two Omegas on the ground, both were Garaches.
The one who had lost her arm was rolling on the ground in pain and didn't seem to have paid any attention to what had happened while the one who had lost her leg was crawling towards the Beta and howling for help.
[You have eliminated a beta Ganipote (E ★★★☆☆) .]
[150 experience points obtained.]
The reason Amandla hadn't aimed for the vital points by shooting the two garaches was that she wanted Lazar to kill them himself so he would gain experience points faster.
It might seem immoral to make these two Garaches suffer just for a few experience points, but frankly, whether it was Amandla or Lazar if there is a point by doing that, they didn't give a damn about playing with the lives of those who try to kill them.
At his level, the Omegas no longer represented a serious threat to Lazar so he just calmly approached the one-legged Garache and plunged his blade in her head without much precautions.
Anyway, like the other Garache she wastn't paying attention to him, she had seen him but she didn't stop him, the last thing she did was reach out her hand towards the Beta, not fight for her life.
[You have eliminated an omega Garache (E ★★☆☆☆) .]
[75 experience points obtained.]
The other Garache had apparently passed out because of blood lose, Lazar was also going to finish her and was standing over her with the tip of his blade just above her forehead.
He stopped briefly when out of the corner of his eye he saw more annoyances coming, then plunged his blade anyway and jumped back to put some distance between him and the group that had arrived.
[You have eliminated an omega Garache (E ★★☆☆☆) .]
[75 experience points obtained.]
Seeing this, the group of about 15 Ganipotes and Garaches completely ignored Amandla to rush on Lazar, knowing what he was planning to do she didn't intervene.
”OWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.”
A huge howl echoed, when they heard it all the members of the group that were rushing towards Lazar stopped and began to shake with fear.
Lazar had heard a similar howl once, so knew exactly what it meant, 'An Alpha is near. I doubt his plan is to let me go this time.'
”Energy Slash!” He didn't let himself be impressed, he continued to act logically by getting rid of the group since they were paralyzed and that they were going to pose a problem afterwards.

3 Betas and 13 Omegas killed instantly, the basically gray roof would forever keep a bright red tint on a part of its surface after the passage of Lazar and Amandla.
'Amandla wasn't lying on this part.' The black smoke had become thicker and thicker with each level Lazar gained and that wasn't the only thing that make him think feels like something special would happen at the next level gained because looking at his arms he saw his veins pumping a black blood.
”OWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” Before thinking about going to the next level, he had to survive first.
The howl of the Alpha was too close, the fight couldn't be avoided, faced with the urgency of the situation Lazar hurried to invest his 5 stat points, 3 in agility and 2 in energy. Then he got into position to make an energy slash before the alpha even arrived.
”Lower your blade Lazar, I feel the movements of only one monster and besides him all the others have regrouped and retreated, he's not here to fight.”
'I hope her strength matches her serenity.' Lazar do as she said.
”She's right.” A masculine voice full of confidence could be heard from the street below, to the left of their roof.
