?The lines between the two sides were drawn.
The mushroom zombies wouldn't move forward without my orders and it seemed like the rat army was scared of the mushroom zombies.
But of course, that wasn't strange since just these few mushroom zombies had wiped out a quarter of their entire group.
The spores of the mushroom zombies were as overpowered as I had imagined and they were the perfect tool to cut down the rats.
Now I was just waiting to see what the rats would do.
Reacting to the move of the rats would be less destructive than attacking them head on.
After all, a cornered beast was the most dangerous.
The stalemate seemed like it would last for a while, but then there was this strange high pitched roar that came from behind the rats.
Though there were only a few lights around the mushroom zombies that had been thrown down, these were bright enough to see where this roar had come from. Or rather, it could be said that these creatures were big enough that they would be hard to miss.
These were the humanoid rat monsters that Cecilia had mentioned before.
As soon as these things came out, the rat army started to tremble as if they were afraid of them.
It was clear who reigned over this group of rats.
These humanoid rat creatures stood six feet tall, had jet black fur like the other rats, and had the normal rat features. But the one shocking thing was that these creatures were completely jacked.
They were like masses of muscle with how much muscle they had on their bodies.
It really was terrifying and strangely fascinating to look at.
They were basically bodybuilders with rat masks on and fur all over their bodies.
Once these humanoid rat monsters had appeared and gave the order, the rats no longer hesitated and began charging forward again.
It was clear that they were unwilling, but they didn't have a choice when the order was given.
A few of the rats that had tried to sneak off were crushed instantly by the humanoid rat monsters. The rest of the rats knew that they would be next if they tried to flee as well.
It seemed that to defeat this group of rats, we would need to take out the humanoid rat creatures.
Once that happened, the rats should scatter on their own since we had the mushroom zombies.
But neither Cecilia or I gave the order for our troops to attack.
This was all going according to plan still.
We had gathered all of our troops in specific locations just so we could deal with these humanoid rat creatures in the first place.
The mushroom zombies were disposable since the life of a zombie couldn't be compared to the life of a human.
Though I did make sure to keep one back.
I wanted to examine it and the spore that it released.
If I could find a way to turn that spore into a weapon, then it would be much easier to deal with dungeon monsters in the future.
So I wanted to keep at least one sample.
But the rest were all deployed to fight the rat army, though there were still some that were left in the hands of our troops.
When the mushroom monsters saw that the rats were charging at them, they suddenly grouped together in one area and waited for the rats to come at them. They could have jumped up and bounced down on these rats to release the spores again, but instead they waited.
That was because…there was another trap waiting for the rats.
We had only thrown a third of all the mushroom zombies that we had after all.
We were just waiting for the rats to charge again.
Seeing that the rats were about to reach the mushroom monsters, Cecilia's hand came down again and said, "Throw!"
Once she gave this order, the soldiers holding the mushroom zombies threw them the same way as before.
These mushroom zombies landed right in the middle of the rat army again with a large burst of spores. As soon as these spores fell onto the rats, mushrooms immediately started sprouting from these rats and they all fell to the ground.
It was the same thing as before where the rat army had been lured in before being taken out in a single AoE attack.
That was just how effective the mushroom spores were.
But this time, there was something that changed.
One of the humanoid rat monsters suddenly charged forward.
It moved at a speed that caught everyone off guard and when it stopped, it was already in front of one of the mushroom zombies. With a single swipe of its tail, that mushroom zombie was cut in half. n(0)vel(b)(j)(n) was the first platform to present this chapter.
But before it could do anything else, there were fire arrows that suddenly fell down on this humanoid rat creature.
This humanoid rat creature was shocked to see this, but it quickly spun its tail again to block these flame arrows. The tail was stronger than the steel arrowheads on these arrows and knocked them all to the ground without hurting the humanoid rat creature.
But these too were a distraction.
The other zombies suddenly charged forward and attacked the other humanoid rat creatures that were in the back.
These were the zombies that we had gathered while coming here.
There were many different zombies and they all charged at the humanoid rat creatures in the back.
As for the one that charged out, it turned back as if it wanted to help the others.
"Die!"
The humanoid rat creature was barely able to react in time to turn around to raise its arms to block the attack that came at it.
This attack caused the humanoid rat creature to fall to its knees before sliding back a bit.
When it was over, one could see that there was a slight dent to the arms of the humanoid rat creature.
It was clear that something was broken.
