57 A sharper Hate 1 (1/2)

With their appearance came a change in Lazar's night vision.

For once, it wasn't showing him just shades of black and white, its color range was a little richer...

In the moment, it couldn't be said that this improvement, if it could be called like that, made Lazar particularly enthusiastic since if what he saw was no longer bichromatic, it was because the third color he was seeing was a gloomy purple emanating from the eyes of these monsters.

Lifeless eyes that were all staring at him, which finished to convince him that he had been unlucky enough to come across monsters that also had night vision.

Lazar took advantage of the fact that his closest opponents where still far from him and didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack him to calmly assess the situation.

He quickly came to a conclusion with a shrug, 'Meh, I guess scouting will not be possible for me tonight.'

It was a wise decision taking into account that in the meantime, many other of those creatures had arrived and that even more were still coming, making increase their numbers from a few dozens to a few hundreds judging by the number of pairs of eyes he was counting.

Not being sure that he could force this encirclement and not wanting to take the risk against opponents whose strength he didn't know, Lazar quickly understood that if this encounter didn't end with his death, it would be with him jumping on the other side of the barrier to flee.

'At least I'll come home earlier and Amandla will be less annoying.' Lazar said to himself in a detached way while jumping on the spot to warm up his muscles since he knew that the next few moments were going to be particularly intense.

Even if scouting was no longer possible, it didn't affect Lazar that much since it was still possible to fulfill his most important objective as well as an additional objective he had just set himself.

The most important objective was still to know what kind of monsters he was dealing with by killing at least one of them in order to get their description in his Bestiary.

As for the additional one, in order to fulfill it he would have to kill a little more than one monster...

Seeing that the creatures were getting closer and closer, Lazar raised his weapon with one hand to place it between his eyes and his ennemies on the horizon, then he took his blade out of its sheath with his other hand to admire its sharpness, 'Offer us a beautiful show and become even stronger.' He thought, indirectly addressing his blade.

Suddenly, all the monsters stopped at the same time.

'What?' While he was trying to make sense of this sudden halt, Lazar saw in front of him one of the monsters break away from the others to advance a few meters in front of them.
