CRACK!
The pick entered the palm and got stuck halfway in.
Surprisingly, no blood came out of the wound.
It was almost like these behemoths were made of pure stone.
The next moment, Kyle felt his hammer getting heavier, and the arm of the behemoth crumbled into stone.
The smaller behemoth quickly jumped up and landed quite a distance away, its speed nothing to scoff at.
From over ten meters away, it looked at Kyle.
Then, it started to rumble, creating a deep reverberating sound.
It sounded almost like a tunnel that was about to collapse.
A moment later, the other behemoths also started to rumble, filling the entire city with the sounds of deep rumbling.
Kyle did not like that sound at all.
Suddenly, Kyle saw one of the behemoths jumping up.
It was jumping right at him!
Kyle scampered to the side.
BOOOOOM!
The place where he had just been exploded in a shower of ruin fragments and stone.
The landing behemoth stretched its arm at Kyle, but he just ran out of its reach.
The rumbling intensified, and Kyle saw more of the behemoths jumping up.
They were attacking!
Kyle quickly ran from side to side as he continued down the streets.
The behemoths were jumping in a steep arc of at least 60° upwards.
'They are made for vertical movement!' Kyle realized. 'They can move rapidly up and down, but they are slow when moving from side to side.'
'They are like toads or frogs!'
'Their arms are slow, but their legs have a lot of power that allows them to jump really high!'
'That's how the scaly Spitters can survive here!'
Kyle avoided another landing behemoth.
More and more of them were slowly walking out of the houses.
One after the other, they jumped at him.
Kyle was running as fast as he could, but all of them quickly caught up.
Their speed was higher than Kyle's, but their trajectories were predictable.
Despite their weight, gravity had a fixed acceleration.
The further they wanted to move, the higher they needed to jump, which meant it took a longer time for them to land.
BOOM!
A behemoth landed right in front of Kyle and extended its arm to him.
Instead of striking the arm, Kyle jumped to the side into the open door of a house.
The gigantic arm tore the wall into pieces, and Kyle quickly ran into the house.
He searched for a window, but there were none!
'Don't have time!'
Kyle held his hammer in front of him and ran into the wall.
BOOOM!
The wall exploded outward, and Kyle stumbled over the undamaged wall near the bottom.
He scrambled on the ground before he continued running.
BOOOOM!
The house behind him exploded as a behemoth landed right on it.
Kyle just kept running, and soon, more behemoths appeared.
It was like a shower of meteors was trying to crush him, and Kyle had to avoid every single one of them.
The streets around Kyle exploded as more and more behemoths landed near him.
Through sheer luck and dexterity, Kyle managed to avoid every single one of them.
He kept running, and eventually, he saw a huge set of stairs.
