Chapter: 25
[Soap Rat Level 1]
Having a smug grin, Jay spat on the ground as he death-stared at the rat and provoked the rat in a deeper voice.
“DO SOMETHING”
The rat took a few steps forward, hissing, as the rest of its body slipped through and exited the grasses.
Surprisingly, Don pounced at the rat, immediately responding to the rat’s intention to fight.
Before the rat could respond, Don’s teeth were already sinking into its flesh.
Don shook its skull-head from side to side to rend the flesh, while its skeleton-claws were just as damaging – slashing at the rat and digging them into its flesh.
The rat didn’t hiss, but squealed.
“Riiiiiii~!!” It was in immense pain.
Conversely, Don didn’t make any sound, perhaps because Don had no voice box – though Don appeared to be bored.
Jay gasped as he subconsciously took a step back, being shocked at how savagely Don was fighting.
The rat tried to shake Don off but only made its pain greater as it propelled Don to rip a chunk of flesh out of its shoulder.
Don was flung on the ground with a chunk of flesh in it’s mouth as its prize, while Jay stepped forward and stabbed at rat; it then died after suffering only 1 damage from Jay.
[15 Exp]
Jay was completely surprised.
“Wow, you did 9 damage? You’re an absolute savage” he praised Don, amazed as he gathered the loot from the soap-rat corpse.
[Fur scraps] x 2
[Soap Rat Teeth] x 3
“Man, that was the easiest kill ever. I barely had to do anything. I probably could get away with ignoring the fight entirely while cleaning the dirt from my fingernails” Jay said with a proud little smile.
Looking at his blade; It had begun to dull and the point had chipped off. “Hmm, hope these fur scraps are worth something, maybe I can get a better knife or something.”
Don gazed back at Jay with its hollow green eyes as it swallowed the flesh out of a natural reflex.
Jay gave Don a puzzled look as the flesh left Don’s empty skull, slid down Don’s spine and plopped out on the ground nearby – Don seemingly not noticing anything unusual.
“Haha, you’re weird” Jay chuckled as he began looking for movement in the marsh.
Failing to see anything, he began walking in the direction the last rat had come from.
It took a few minutes before the unlikely duo came to a small clearing within the reeds and grasses. The dirty homeless-looking man and a waist-high hunchback humanoid skeleton with a huge rat skull entered the clearing.
