Chapter 44: Excitement

Taking a deep breath, Nial was ready to fight against the large group of petrification rats that had surrounded him.

After they had crawled out of the numerous holes that were in every wall of the entire cave, it was not difficult to overwhelm Nial, but instead of attacking him one after another, their plan had been different.

Waiting for the entire group to emerge from the holes, they had surrounded him from all sides, before slowly closing the distance towards Nial.

This was not difficult to be perceived by Nial, whose mana perception was also released, providing him with intel about the current situation.

Making use of the pieces of information, he quickly realized that there were roughly 50 petrification rats, which caused him to frown deeply.

'Why are there so many already?!'

Under normal circumstances, bigger groups of beasts would only emerge in the deepest parts of a dungeon.
