Sheng, who was a step behind, also rushed towards the one closest to him in three steps at a time. The tip of the crowbar he raised pierced half of the giant rat's body at an angle, hooked it up, and then slammed it to the ground again. After several times, it twitched and was about to die.
The one in the center seemed to be more intelligent. Having missed a short distance, the giant rat, shaking its head as it recovered from the dazzling light, turned towards us, about to let out a scream.
That would be a scream that might summon his companions.
However, before that could happen, hand axes and crowbars fell one after another from directly in front and above, intersecting and completing the kill almost simultaneously.

The bright blue notification box reappeared before my eyes.
Before I could finish reading the message, a sudden wave of dizziness hit me. After trying to shake my head and opening my eyes again, I saw not the clean, white floor tiles, but a wooden ceiling.
