The creatures came from all sides of Lucian, their fangs and long limbs looking for something meaty to rip apart. Their eyes were glowing red against the limelight of Morrslieb, a striking contrast that showed just how evil the power was which puppetted their corpses.
Lucian began his moved forward, the slope being steep did not inspire confidence within the journey that he and Bok were going to be making. Yet as he took a few more steps the ideas of what could be used against the others were already coming into mind.
The first upon Lucian were a pair of wolves with rotting fangs. Cavities of rot which had drilled themselves through the bone and out the otherside. So large they were that Lucian could see small bugs moving between the teeth and rotting gums.
He tried to move his scythe quickly but those monsters were quicker. A pair of fangs flying into his face within inches of his face flinging rotting spit and bugs into his face. The Knight could not cut it down quickly so he instead gripped the back of its neck. So torn and tender was the meat underneath that Lucian’s grip melted the flesh to get a hand onto the monster’s spine.
Then, with a push of forceful will, the Knight threw the offending creature towards the herd coming up behind him. The impact quickly sent three of their kind flying down the stairs that the monsters were still climbing up from.
Lucian did not get to watch the rest of the chaos he caused as he was assaulted by several others. His scythe now animated the Knight was cleaving through the beasts. Their chunks of flesh flew far, with hope that they would slam into the incoming hordes from below and across.
Yet the Knight felt annoyance as yet another came upon him. This one a limby monster that had gripped his scythe in an attempt to rip it out of his hands. With a punch in the face Lucian was able to bash the creature away before assaulting the next group.
He had to push hard and fast, which caused the occasional mistake. Each one of these the creatures threw themselves upon but not enough to bring Lucian down upon his knees. With the others being kept away far enough the Knight was able to approach the first landing.
