Chapter: 30

Jay thought this was either the most genius or most idiotic idea he could come up with, nevertheless, he implemented it.

Jumping at the closest rat, he backstabbed it 3 times, dealing 6 damage before it could retaliate, biting his calf muscle as he continued to stab its neck area.

It counted as a backstab even though he wasn’t directly behind it – perhaps it was the anatomical difference – he was still stabbing its back after all.

Don jumped at another rat and did his thing – biting, clawing and rending flesh.

The other 3 rats jumped and hissed, startled by the ambush. They didn’t respond at first due to shock, but soon attacked, defending their comrades. Jay was fighting 3 rats at once; he ignored the pain and stabbed the last rat in the throat to end it

Don likewise killed his first rat and began to work on the second

As Jay proceeded to fight 2 rats, he levelled up. Ignoring the notification, he fought tactically to preserve energy and health – as they lunged, he dodge backwards and either stabbed them necks or slashed them on their heads.

Both rats lost 3 health each before their survival instincts kicked in and they rushed Jay.

They charged at him, intending to bite. Jay slammed his heel down onto one rat and jumped over the other one, plunging his knife into its lower torso.

“Riiiii!!!~”

The rat squealed as Jay pulled out his knife, its liver was executed. Not giving the rat any chances, he continued to stab.

The rat only had 3 health left before it’s mate could jump and claw at jay.
