Chapter 11: Ch. 11
Suddenly the thing bends downward before screeching loudly, loud enough for those around it to start bleeding from their ears. Due to the damage to their hearing, the guys around it fell on their knees and struggle to regain balance on their feet. The man struggles but it was all useless as they succumbed to their imbalance and collapse. The creature walks toward one of the fallen men and holds him up by the neck, as the man struggles to free himself the creature looks at him eye-to-eye. When the man realized his efforts were useless he just stares shortly before spitting at the creature's face. This provoked attack enrages the creature so much so that it pulls its arms back before changing the shape of its hand into a spear and stabs the man through the middle abdomen. I watch as the man loses his life and is now bleeding profusely while hanging by the neck.
"Jesus, this thing is brutal"
The creature then throws the lifeless body a few feet away and walks toward the next descender who is desperately crawling away with a look of hopelessness.
"Should I step in now or after the thing finishes each of them off, the end result will be the same no matter"
As the thing gets closer to the man he then screams out.
'Help! Please, someone, help me !'
He was now crying as he was screaming.
"I guess I should step in now, maybe I can exchange my assistants for some food"
I jump downward and sprint towards the thing, luckily, it was too focused on the screaming man and was unable to notice me getting closer from the back. Once I reach a close distance I quickly drew my sword and slash toward the thing's neck.
'Aaaaahahhdhshah!'
The thing screams before turning its head towards me and screaming, the same scream that caused those men to drop to the ground. But sadly, its scream wasn't that strong nor did it cause the same effects. The reason was that I have successfully slashed a bit of the thing's neck, specifically the left side.
"I guess that's where its vocal cords for that scream was, lucky me"
When the thing realized that it couldn't perform its scream it extends its arm back to stab me. I quickly jump back out of its range of attack before it could even attack. It strikes but the range was too short and so it charges at me to close the distance, I quickly evaded the charge and landed next to a down descender. Looking around I notice a short sword next to the down man and quickly grab ahold of it. Looking up the boss is now running at me from a few feet from but was quickly getting closer. Without much thought, I threw the short sword at the boss that successfully pierced the boss's right eye. The boss now suffering from the injury inflicted on its right eye quickly tries to remove the puncturing object but struggles to pull it out due to being weakened from the fight with the descenders and losing a bit of blood from the throat. Seeing a chance to strike once again I quickly run forward while peeping for a cut and quickly slash the creature's left leg, resulting in the creature losing balance and falling. Despite losing its footing, figurative and literally, its focus remains unchanged from trying to pull the sword out of its eyes.
"Another chance for me then"
I approach forward and slash at the boss's last arm left, which was still struggling to pull the sword out. Once its arm was cut off it tries to escape by wriggling around to adjust itself before bending its last leg inward in an attempt to propel itself from the ground forward. Before it could finally release its final remaining energy to escape I cut off that leg too, leaving the creature with nothing buts its abdomen and head.
"This is just pitiful "
I slowly approach the boss and the closer I get the more the boss wriggles around while making a sad desperate cry. Not wanting to see this deformity I strike down into the thing's skull. All was silent until I see a…

"Not bad, not bad at all"
I smirked but then realized I forgot about the descenders around me. I check each and every one of them, sadly all but one perished. I quickly dragged them to a single tree side-by-side and waited until they woke back up. I decided to sit not too far and wait under a tree and noticed that throughout the fight System did not notify me of any upcoming boss attacks.
"Hey system you there?"
[Yea]
"Why didn't you help me?"
[Did you need help]
"Not anymore"
[There you go]
Annoyed I didn't further question his lack of assistance and instead focus my attention on the loot. I received a triangle object and upon opening it I received [Boots of Swift I].
"Oh nice, my shoes were pretty worn out after wearing them for 3 years now."
Upon wearing them I felt nothing has changed but as I walk back and forth I can sense my movement being a bit faster, as I notice my simple steps were creating a wider gap than usual upon every step forward.
"This might come in handy for some speed grinding"
Looking back at the body of the boss I can see that weaker creatures were appearing around due to the smell.
"Let's hunt some for the time being"
With my new loot, I quickly put it to good use as I ran faster than ever, fast enough to surprise each and every creature allowing me to strike first.

After 2 hours I was able to loot some food and parts from most of the monsters. As my fatigue reach a certain threshold I sat down and rest.
