HISSSS!
The lizard-things hissed, their eyes swirling with strange patterns.
Their claws scraped against the rocky floor as they slowly moved closer, surrounding me like a pack of beasts waiting for the right moment to pounce.
One of them lunged.
I didn't move.
Its body twisted mid-air, jaws wide open, fangs flashing toward my throat.
I raised my scythe with both hands and spun sharply to the left.
SLASH!
The blade carved through the air and cut straight across its chest. Blood sprayed out in a wide arc, hitting the walls like wet paint.
The creature's body smacked against the ground and didn't move again.
That was all the signal they needed.
The rest charged in, shrieking.
I stepped back with my right foot and swung again.
One came from the side, so I ducked, planting my left hand on the ground, then twisted my body low and sliced upward with all my strength.
CRRACK!
The scythe tore through its stomach, splitting it in half. Its insides spilled out across the floor.
