Chapter 2 - Battle Cats?

I stared at the Cat who had spawned or appeared out of nowhere, which the Cat started meowing at me as if to say:

"What are your orders?" To affirm my question, I then quickly looked around then saw the approaching dog monster heading towards me.

"Get whatever that thing is!" Pointing towards the dog monster whom the cat ran towards, it started biting through its furry hide, ripping out chunks amount of furred flesh before angering the dog monster and it grabbed the Basic Cat throwing it hard into the stony wall of the dungeon.

"Uhh... well that did something to it?" The dog monster then looked at me with intense rage and hunger as if it knew it was me who did harm to its scruffy furred body, it launched itself towards me, "Oh FUCK!"

I tried to deftly dodge it's attempts to rip me to shreds, i then focused quickly, doing the same thing on how i summoned the Basic Cat, which unceremoniously appeared which looked battle ready, ready to sacrifice itself for me.

"NYAAAAA!", "WOOOOOOOO!" both barked or meowed at each other which repeated the same action as the previous basic cat did, which ended in the same way however the dog monster is more disheveled and wounded.

Maybe i could spam the basic cat more? Like the cats in game.

I conjured up the same spell or magic I've done but i didn't stop, i closed my eyes and focus on summoning more basic cats before i heard a overwhelming amounts meows of basic cats.

Holy, its like the same mechanics in the game!

"Get those dogs!" I shouted towards the cacophony of basic cats and then sicked one of the cats at the wounded dog monster.

The basic cats ambushed the dog monsters that were busy with the Hunters and thefew dog monsters that eating something fleshy.

Many of the dog monsters were quickly dispatched with overwhelming numbers and bites. As one of the Hunter's who were holding back the onslaughts of the monsters approached me.

He looks like any run of the mill Hunter's often seen in T.V especially after a successful rescue or raid.

"Miss, thank you for helping us and saving the civilians but we should focus on evacuating the civilians first, then we could close the dungeon, with your summoning magic? We could do it much more faster with those summons of yours." His words came out low and urgent, like he was afraid to see any more casualties of innocent lives loss in a dungeon.

"Alright, after i order my cats, we should go find the dungeon boss and close this dungeon." After talking, i ordered 30 basic cats to carry civilians out of the dungeon, they swiftly moved and carried the people on top of their heads and marched, telling them to go the fluctuations occuring inside the dungeon.

After they left, i steeled myself and conjured another batch of basic cats although, the effects of spamming more cats are slowly creeping in. The Hunters were awed and in disbelief as these were the things that helped them slay the monsters, cute but deadly.

"We should move on and find the dungeon boss." I spoke slightly urgent tone since we might never when is the next onslaught of dog monsters come running out of the dim dungeon.

The remaining hunters nodded and steeled themselves for the impromptu dungeon raid.

A few minutes later

We did encounter the monsters but to an extent lesser than the first onslaught, we trudge on where came from and was greeted to wooden gates, the handles were rusty but still movable, the tankers of the group pulled open then we what we saw was large group monsters, couldn't estimate the amount but i knew there was shit ton of them, but the same type of monster though.

Many of the Hunter's realizing that the few monsters we encountered outside were likely the over flow of monsters inside, there we saw a hulking dog monster near a altar that had many dog face shapes.

While the Hunters were communicating with each other and i can see other people quickly praying, i was lost in thought.

Is that a doge faced altar? Yeah it looks like one, if my hunch is right, that hulking monster definitely has a higher magnification. If we clear these peons then that boss is toast like the Deadly Advent Queen Bee heh.

Hearing groans and pained gasp, i snapped out of my thought and looked at the direction of the noise and saw one of the monsters knawing at the tankers bicep.

"Attack those mutts! Go cats!" Ordering my basic cats to attack the monsters who were starting pile on the defenses of the Hunters, each time a basic cat die, i summon another one again and again.

Hunter's gaining more ground as each basic cat launched themselves towards the monsters biting and ripping, allowing the hunters land more devastating blows and lowering the size of the horde of monsters, although they are many, they're still easily slashed and stabbed by the blades forged to cut the hide or skins of monsters.

Quickly the monsters dwindled as my mana dwindled too. All that was left was dungeon boss, which was quivering in rage as it roared at us, reverberating inside the dungeon.

I covered my ears quickly and others followed suit, unfortunately one of the tankers who had their bicep bitten and rippen couldn't really his ears it and temporality turned him deaf, the monster then ran on all fours and rammed into one of the unprepared tankers, pulverizing the lower spine of that one tanker that took the whole brunt of the charge and swinging its arms to the other hunters that were around it, making them slam into the ground with a heavy thud as the monster then forcefully pulled the downed a tanker and brought it close to its mouth.

"Get the ankles, quickly." Silently ordering the cats to disable its important asset of movement while also distracting it from devouring one of the Hunters.

The basic cats bit and knawed at the ankles of the monster suprising it before letting go of the man to stomp on the cats, the basic cats desperately bite small chunks of the monster before a snap sounded, the monsters ankles were ripped by 4 basic cats and squashed a dozen basic cats from falling down due to an achilles.

"Kill it now!" I shouted at the other hunters who were in daze due to unexpected toppling of the dungeon, my shout snapped them out of the daze then readied up their weapons and hammered into the monster, slicing and piercing, loud noises of a monster roaring in rage which slowly became less vocal, the finishing blow which sliced its head off, then a magic crystal fell off from its lopped head.

"So we got 15 minutes or less before the dungeon collapses right?"
