Of course, the waves after the discussion we had proved my hypothesis wrong as the monsters spawned in and started swinging seriously dangerous haymakers left and right like I had never seen before... in these Trials, anyways.
Literally, giant Ogres erupted from the ground and rushed at us, traveling at speeds that shouldn't be possible with the mass that they had, their bronze skin glistening beneath the sun and distracting me a little since the moment they got within striking distance they swung their hammer like fists and tried to smash me into the ground immediately.
There were dozens of the bastards running straight at me, and upon initial contact with the first I realized that the bronze skin that they had was actually partially metallic, causing the Falcata to screech off of their flesh when I opened up with a swift and shallow cut across their abdomen.
