However, even though each of them had their own techniques for killing monsters, they were still nowhere near as swift as the spear-sword in my hands. Add to that my considerable strength, and these carrion beasts could barely get back up after a single stab. Thus, as we advanced, I stabbed and tossed them aside, and the carrion beasts were practically incapable of putting up a fight. We slaughtered dozens of them in what probably wasn't even half an incense stick's time!
