Bab 55: Doublers

The arms flew down and Vain had just enough time to roll and jump out of the way just enough to dodge the rapidly approaching hands. The Clump didn't seem scared to go out of its way to attack and the huge pile of flesh that made up the body fell out of the hole of the ceiling and with several weapons all ready to attack Vain as it fell.

Using some of the arms without weapons, the Clump pushed itself in Vain's direction and used the momentum to make a more powerful attack. The Clumps before this level had always just attacked from one space and slowly moved to attack. This one behavior alone made the Clump's attack style extremely difficult to deal with.

Vain did his best to defend himself against the Clump. With more arms and closer distance, Vain could only hold the Clump back by dodging and blocking the weapons with his sword. Vain could only slowly cut one arm about once every twenty minutes when he could only get a single chance against the Clump.
