Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 164: The Sacrifice of the King of Rat
Night Vision and Appraisal's abilities were activated simultaneously while looking at the surroundings to find out where the King of Rat was.
Nathan communicates with the others not to use light magic, and let himself attack in the darkness.
If it turned on the light at a time when the King of Rat could see inside the darkness, it would only make the King of Rat increase his vigilance. Can make it grow wild and may attack directly blindly.
Natan creates a bone prison that protects them in the middle.
He looked around trying to find the King of Rat, despite how he knew that this enemy was jumping here and there without leaving a sound.
Suddenly...
With a clanging sound, the barrier made of bones trembled slightly as the King of Rat attacked with its claws.
"Everything's approaching!"
Everyone heard the voice and followed it. Everyone's faces looked grim with panic and fear, but it was actually just a mere act.
"Fear me!"
The King of Rat's voice echoed in the room, making it appear to come from all directions and it puzzled those who could not see in the darkness.
Natan pointed his weapon towards the right of the King of Rat; purposely to avoid it in order to give confidence to the enemy.
Bang out!
After releasing a missed shot far beside the King of Rat, the thunderous laughter that echoed in the room again rang out. The laughter sounded extremely insulting, like prey looking at a small, struggling ant, but it made no difference.
The King of Rat again darted in the dark room, each time moving would result in the sound of metal clangs due to the impact between his claws and the bone prison. The voice was heard alternately, not just one place.
Natan fired a shot towards the source of the sound, one second after the sound was heard.
The King of Rat continued to laugh, expressing disdain towards the foolish Natan for not being able to attack him at all.
Ayumi tilted her head as she vaguely saw Natan's missed attack. He could not see the King of Rat, but could see his weak point because Natan's Sharp Eyes allowed him to see the enemy's weak point, this buff skill was also accepted by teammates.
"Haha! How long can you attack?!"
Natan continued to shoot nonstop, shooting one second slower.
The King of Rat laughed again as he looked at the attacks that always missed. But just as he wanted to attack by approaching the bone prison, suddenly the muzzle of the weapon was already aimed right at his head.
Natan fired another shot just after the King of Rat appeared.
Bang out!
The King of Rat gasped and tried to avoid it. He could almost dodge, but it was just barely, as the shot hit his chest and made him fly several meters back.
In an instant, the darkness in the room disappeared and was replaced with blue flames burning on the pillars.
The King of Rat held onto his chest as he managed to stand up. Then he wanted to run back, but Nathan wouldn't let him.
Natan removes the bone prison, then darts towards the King of Rat while slashing his sword crosswise: from top right to bottom left.
The King of Rat crossed his arms in front of his head to repel the attack. The attack was successfully repelled, giving rise to the sound of metal clanking meeting. But that was not the end, Nathan swung his sword horizontally, slashing at the King of Rat's stomach.
A red line was seen in the King of Rat's stomach as the wound was created and there was blood pouring down there.
Natan still had not stopped, he twisted the other-edged sword and slashed it upwards at full force; the sword was enveloped by a black aura like the aura of death.
The King of Rat was still unable to react, as a result of which his lower hand was injured by the sword slash, although it was not until it was cut off, but it was painful and even started to give off a foul scent.
Nathan drew his sword back, then pierced the King of Rat's chest. He turned the piercing sword, making the flesh inside twist. Then as he pulled it again, there was an egg-sized hole in the chest of the King of Rat and it was bleeding profusely like the flow of tap water.
The King of Rat retreated many times with a limped step. He coughed many times as he vomited blackish-red blood. "Poisons?"
"Low-humans! You used poison!"
Natan twisted her body, turning her back to the King of Rat as she bent her body. He pulled his left foot back, stomping on the King of Rat's foot.
The King of Rat lost his balance and almost fell. But just as he was balancing himself to get back on his feet, suddenly a pain came from behind him, and his knees were instantly weak which made him fall in a kneeling position.
Nathan swung his sword crosswise again, then slashed it up again. After injuring the King of Rat's back, he slashed his left hand, then swung it down again to slash the other hand.
Natan pushed the head of the King of Rat with his right foot, making the King of Rat fall to the ground as his head was stepped on. "Is this all? Don't you want to hide anymore? We can play find and hide."
He observed the King of Rat, especially on one of the skills. That skill was Blood Sacrifice and Destruction. Natan did not know what that ability was, but it did not seem like a good one.
The King of Rat gritted his teeth until one of his fangs broke. Blood kept coming out of his mouth as he muttered something very slowly.
Ayumi who saw it, felt the change of Mana under the King of Rat. He looked up to see Natan. "Sister! Getaway!"
Without asking, Natan immediately followed Ayumi's advice and moved away.
A red magic circle appeared under the King of Rat. It gave off a powerful aura with sparks of embers in one of its corners.
"Absolute Defense!" Erina raised the shield as she felt an uncomfortable aura.
***
Southern Wall, Alliance Armonia Guild (Chengdu City)
The reddish-purple portal under the wall was still the center of attention, even after Natan's team entered it. Many people stood on the wall to observe.
"Look! What's that?!"
Watch everyone get sidetracked by the shouts of one of the Taiyang Guild members. They noticed a change in the Dimensional Cave (A); a flash of lightning appeared and slightly struck the surrounding ground.
Then, with a loud bang, the Dimensional Cave let out a huge flame forming a gigantic mushroom that was almost as tall as a wall.
The cit! The cit! The cit! The cit!
A rat-like squeaking sound came from within the blaze, followed by the sound of the roar of a strong wind that sucked all the flames around it.
Thirty people on top of the wall were shocked by the sudden change of the Dimensional Cave, then they walked to the edge and lowered their heads. Their astonishment increased when looking down, it was a sea of giant rats with levels above 450.
"Where is the Alliance Leader?! Is he dead?" One of the women looked worried when she saw the sea of rats.
Many were worried, they knew the residents of Longquan Mountain would be furious and rampage if Natan were to die. If so, then the Gold Star, Light of Eternity, and Taiyang Guild would be affected.
But at that moment, a voice came from the sky.
"Are you guys not being too rude? I'm still alive."
Hearing that, everyone turned their heads to look towards the source of the voice. It could be seen the Knight Bees carrying eight people on it.
Natan himself was quite surprised by the explosion of the Dimensional Cave up to this size. But fortunately there was the Alliance Guild Barrier.
While in the explosion, Erina made a multi-layered barrier, and on exiting the Dimensional Cave, Olivia immediately brought everyone to teleport to the sky, then Natan took out the Bee Knight.
With this incident, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that it could kill more high-leveled monsters, and the disadvantage was not getting the spoils from the King of Rat or the Human Summoning Scroll.
Natan let out a heavy sigh, then raised his hand, making many Bee Knights appear in the air by carrying Magic Archers on top of him.
"Let's just say, it's better to reach level six hundred."
