The dead Rat King’s body shook harder. Then twitched violently, the underbelly suddenly began to split.

It was as though someone was unzipping a dress and then a new King Grey Rat stepped out.

This one was more muscular, thick and was about 4 meters tall with sharp claws, longer tail and large eyes that gleamed with intelligence.

Andrew checked it.

[Name: King Grey Rat]

[Grade: 1-Star BOSS]

[HP: 0 / 5000 / 10,000]

[Phase: 2]

[Combat Index: 800]

[Skills: Crunch | Blitz | Berserk | Claw Swipe]

[Info: An ordinary rat that found a pool of Earth Milk Liquid. With years of drinking and bathing in it, it developed intelligence comparable to a 6-year-old. It became the King Grey Rat.]

800 Combat Index.

Andrew’s current index was 474 with everything stacked and this beast was double his own combat index!

The beast had four skills it hadn’t shown yet, and four skills on something with 800 Combat Index made it too op!

It didn’t choose to attack when it saw Andrew. Instead it observed him with its beady eyes. as though wondering how Andrew had transformed into a 3 meter tall human.

Andrew knew he was in trouble and if he didn’t use his all, he might actually end up dying here.

Without hesitation, he activated both Dragon bloodline and Magus bloodline.

An horrific transformation occurred as a five meters tall, two headed, four arm, winged monster replaced Andrew.

Blue and red scales raced across his skin in interlocking patterns, neither bloodline willing to fully give way to the other.

The cave felt small with him in it now.

His combat index climbed as bloodline bonuses stacked on Titan bonuses stacked on Body Enhancement.

He felt like he was about to explode from the sheer amount of strength he was carrying and felt like he could punch a bike through tev sky and tear through the void.

But it’s obviously an illusion from the massive raw power flowing through his body like a tsunami.

"Now let’s fight!"

Andrew grinned as a massive Killing intent erupted from him as though he was an incarnation of death.

Godslayer released a high pitch noise as it expanded In his grip to about two meters in length.

-----

Andrew moved first.

"Flowing Phantom!"

The world bled to black and white. He accelerated along the crimson line and vanished — reappearing mid-swing as Godslayer came down at the beast’s left flank with the full weight of 948 combat power behind it.

"DING!"

The claw came up from nowhere and blocked it.

Sparks erupted between the blade and the claw with a sound like two trains colliding together.

It’s speed was actually so powerful that it could react to Flowing phantom. And it hadn’t even activated its Blitz skill yet. Which meant if Andrew wanted to keep up with the King grey rat, he needed to use flowing phantom constantly!

Andrew’s didn’t back down. His four arms clenched his blade hilt as he pressed down on King Grey Rat’s claws.

From this close distance, Andrew could se every expression of the grey rat and could smell the stench of human flesh it had consumed.

Suddenly, a thick rope wrapped along Andrew’s ankle. His face changed when he realized it was King Grey rat’s tail. Before he could react, the tail yanked him powerfully like he was a toy doll.

It slammed him side to side on the ground like an hammer sticking rapidly against an anvil.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang! "Bang!"

Andrew felt his brain rattle and bones cracking.

[Oily Skin] (E-Rank)

Andrew entire skin turned frictionless and he easily slipped out of the tail like a slippery loach.

Andrew pulled back immediately and reactivated two skills, layering them this time.

"Flowing Phantom! Chaos Violent Strike!"

He combined them — using Flowing Phantom for the burst of speed and loading Violent Strike on top of it, the blade trailing purple fire as he blurred in from the beast’s right side, attack coming from a completely different angle than the first.

The Rat King didn’t block this time.

It moved.

"Blitz!"

One moment it was directly in front of him, the next moment it was not. Andrew’s strike hit nothing but air.

His pupils constricted and he quickly turned.

The Rat King was behind him.

"Crunch!"

The jaws was about to bite his head but Andrew raised his left arm and the mouth clamped against it with a massive force.

"Fuck!"

"GRRK—!"

He tried to fire Chaos Dao Flame directly down the beast’s throat at point-blank but his meridians were shattered, slowing down the attack.

The BOSS sensed the threat and then yanked backward, biting Andrew’s arm clean off.

It slowly savored Andrew’s arm and chewed it slowly in its mouth. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Andrew’s face was slightly pale. This was the second time had arm had been torn off.

Steam was already rising from the wound as Titan Regeneration rapidly regenerated his arm. The regeneration took seconds which was incredibly fast but in this battle, it was too slow.

The Rat King ran in all fours and suddenly activated Blitz again.

"BOOM —"

It crossed the distance in a few milliseconds came in with Claw Swipe — four simultaneous slashes from a claw the size of a dining table.

Andrew activated Flowing Phantom to increase his attack speed but he was still a lot slower than the Rat King.

He raised his four arms to block but the Rat King Blitz behind him as four Claw Swipe slashed at his back shoulder and waist in a fraction of a second.

"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
