บท 67: Obstacle Course

Like Toz had expected, he easily made it back to where the Rat King had diverted from its set course. He had even managed to increase the distance between himself and the Rat King with the help of Mindle and Lucy attacking it.

Since they barely weighed anything, especially Mindle, it didn't matter if they rode on top of Hugh's limp body while they threw out various attacks to try and stall the Rat King. Although the projectiles and hindrances of fire barely affected the Rat King despite the differences in the types of fire Mindle and the Rat King wielded.

Lucy's shadows also barely affected the Rat King. Blocking its senses didn't do much since it only needed to continue straight ahead for at most a second until the darkness dissipated. Using the Rat King's shadow to grab hold of its feet also didn't do much since even with the large shadow, the Rat King was strong enough to almost instantly break free.
