"Shit, shit, shit!"
Whoosh!
Wise darted to the side, his feet sliding on the water's surface, unsettling it as a gust of green, putrid slime shot out of the water.
The foul liquid cut past him, the putrid smell hitting him like a bus. He gagged, one arm on his nose and the other on his sword.
"What the fuck!"
It even smelled worse than he had expected, like shit marinated in skunk musk.
Voom!
Another wave surged forward, tearing the water apart and unsettling the pond. Wise jumped backward, then twisted his body as another wave rushed past him.
And then the first Dolodile emerged, splitting through the water like a freight train and sending water in all directions.
Its limbs were tucked by its sides, its mouth closed, making it akin to an arrow—
For maximum speed.
Wise swerved to the left, the monster cutting through his side just as he lashed out at it, tearing off its hind limb with his sword.
Whoosh!
Another monster emerged with a thunderous fury, its maw wide open.
