Hell Crab, Bull, Multi-Headed Dog... The monsters Animal Path had called forth with his amplified Summoning Technique surrounded Susanoo and attacked relentlessly!
The most troublesome was Multi-Headed Dog. No matter how many times Susanoo cleaved him apart with its Greatsword, he would not die—and his numbers only increased!
