Chapter 25: Emotions and monsters ( V )

Rowan observed the monsters storming out of the forest with keen eyes, he hadn't expected this many monsters to suddenly attack. He was cautious enough to not enter the forest, but sadly, that could not stop the monsters from picking up on the sound of nearby human activities.

These monsters—Ratax, as they are called—are rat-like creatures. Among all the monsters known to mankind, Ratax are the only omnivores. They eat edible plants and fruits when available, and when they aren't, they start eating smaller animals and humans. They are truly dangerous.

At this moment, watching more than two hundred of these monsters storming towards them made some of the young soldiers wet their pants.

The loud, collective marching of the Ratax as they drew closer was terrifying, as were the bright red eyes that seemed to pierce deep into the young soldiers' souls.
