The monsters, with their big bodies and dark fur, looked, even more, opposing from up close. Billy frowned when they opened their big mouths that could easily swallow a human head. They looked scary, but they didn't make him hesitate for even a second. When their big mouths approached him, Billy used a Light Spear and impaled their heads from inside their mouths up to the back of their heads. Billy had a hard time pulling his spear, but at least he didn't waste much time dealing with that thing.

The skill Spearmanship obtained 200 experience points.
"See? Pretty easy," Billy said.
Alexander frowned when he heard that, only someone who had steel nerves like Billy would wait until that moment to attack. Failure would be deadly, after all.
Natalie's weapons didn't have the range for her to accomplish the same, but she could always improvise. When one of the bears charged at her, she swung her right sword toward the chin of the creature and repelled the first strike. While the monster was feeling that, she jumped and then stabbed the eyes of the monster with both her swords. The difference in strength was visible, even more so when Fierce Aura was active. Without any other choice, Alexander decided to follow the example of the frontline and then attacked the head of one of the monsters while using Quick Spear. The monster suffered numerous scratches, and then when it tried to block Alexander's attacks with its paws, he saw the moment the enemy lost sight of him due to those, and then he impaled one of the paws and made it hit the left eye of the creature.
Kate, Lily, and Sarah knew more than anyone that those three wouldn't need help, so they focused on using their attacks to help the parties that were having a hard time against those monsters. While pretty much all of them were veterans, there were veterans and veterans. Some didn't have much talent, and others always took it easy on hunting and exploration.
While those three had a lot of firepower by themselves, their combination could only be described as overwhelming. Kate and Sarah could stop the monsters' movements by impaling their legs or freezing them, giving a nearby party the chance to bombard the monster with their attacks or even let Lily herself turn the monsters' heads into pincushions. However, she also focused most of the time on preventing deaths by using her bow. That was definitely more important than killing monsters herself.
Although groups like Billy and the guild masters could overwhelm the monsters with their skills, most parties were struggling quite a bit since they had to keep fighting nonstop. When the monsters realized that biting the adventurers wouldn't be so easy, they used their claws, and while they weren't as deadly, their chance of hitting was higher, thus causing more wounds.
When Billy saw one of the monsters cut off the arm of one adventurer with a single swing, he felt shivers. The adventurer wasn't exactly wearing light armor, so it was clear that those monsters shouldn't be left alone for long. Regardless, while Jean predicted where the enemies would come from, the number of losses was pretty even… but the defenders' side were still losing since they were only fighting monsters.
"... I can't do anything more than what I am already doing…" Billy thought that while trying to keep his cool by thinking about that.
That was what Billy thought at first, but then he had an idea. His speed and the monsters were almost the same, so if he puts some points in there, he will have some leeway when it comes to fighting. Then he will save some stamina by not using Light Spear, if he focuses on using Quick Spear, it will level up like crazy, and the monsters will become virtually useless against him. It was a bit risky, but he put fifty points in there.

His friends frowned when they saw Billy suddenly imitating Alexander. He only had defeated ten or so monsters, so it was a bit too soon for him to run out of gas. While Quick Spear barely consumed any stamina, it would take a while for Billy to take down the enemies like that. Not to mention, the monsters slowly gained ground over the army in the south. However, things played out a bit differently than they had expected…
With his extra speed, Billy blocked all the attacks the monsters tried to launch at him with their claws. At the same time, for a brief moment, they changed their attack, Billy hit their wrists. The monster in front of him grunted in pain since it was a critical hit that hit an artery. The enemy quickly lost their strength in their front paws and was left with only a single option of attacking… By using its mouth.. When the target tried, Billy used his old tactic and pierced the enemy's brain.
