Chapter 22 Gaining the momentum (2/2)

Duck!

Unable to run to the sides, I can only lower my centre of weight to make another wolf-like beast to miss its bite. Using my sword as a counterweight, I spin myself out of the lowered position while cutting two more enemies in my way.

Twist!

I reach with my right hand as far back as I can, feeling the raging current of the air as yet another claws whistle a centimetre away from my chest! Forcing my arm back to its usual spot, I use the momentum to slash from over my head downwards, splitting yet another enemy in half!

”Blop!”

”Path sword-dancer evolved into the second stage!”

The moment I hear those words in my head, my movements suddenly accelerate! What was a hard and risky move before, now became the most obvious line of defence with the opening for a counterattack! Not willing to give up such an opportunity, I guide the tip of my sword at the height of the last wolf-like beast head, effectively cutting it off.

”Blop!”

”Host has levelled up!”

Slash!

With my improved speed, every attack that I mount leads to a faster and stronger continuation. It feels like the longer I will be fighting, the more powerful will I become!

In a mere moment, the remaining beasts are lying down on the ground, dead. While this was fourteen formidable enemies, I killed them all without the slightest problem! Am I a little bit too overpowered?

With all the enemies down, Eve comes down from the hilltop from which she was observing the battle. From her facial expression, I can read both astonishment and happiness.

”Shall we find yet another group?”

The feeling of levelling up is just too good! I think I can easily get addicted to it! Given the ease at which I can raise my levels, enduring the blue balling method of gaining the attribute points looks like a worse alternative now!

”Sure, if you are enjoying yourself, then why not?
