Chapter 100

I had killed all the smaller ones within a few seconds before finally jumping back and allowing my eyes to land on the human-sized rat in front of me, looking at me with its giant red eyes.

"Nice eyes" I chuckled with an enormous grin on my face. I had no idea that my eyes were red just a few seconds ago, and remnants of that crimson red still remained in my irises.

"Looks like I'ma have to kill you too big guy." I let out another chuckle that made it growl slightly and try to get down into a fighting position, yet without missing a beat my body had already burst from my position and had lunged itself towards the rat, slashing towards its throat with my ax with all intentions to decapitate it on the spot.

However, The rat had moved back slightly making my ax's blade barely graze its neck, allowing a small amount of blood to flow out of the wound without any signs of stopping any time soon.

The cut wasn't deep enough for the rat to drown in its own blood, yet it was not shallow enough for it to simply overlook as a battle injury.

It was only then that it had chosen that the best course of action was to run, a decision that made me pause, look at the running rat and laugh mockingly before lunging towards it at full speed.

Thankfully, however, I was way too slow to catch it immediately meaning that I was likely to never catch up to it especially after you see the speed it was moving at.

You might be asking yourself right about now, 'why thankfully? Isn't this something bad?'.

Well, he is the thing, it would be considered a bad thing for my prey to run away in normal conditions, but at that moment it could not have been better.

As the rat had begun running at full speed in another direction, I watched as the bushes to its right rustled, and before the rat could react it saw the insides of an enormous maw that had enveloped most of the rat's body before biting off everything other than its legs.
