Chapter 32 He Can’t Retreat

Peter was breathing heavily now.

The Rat King shrieked and lunged at him again.

“You damn beast! Go die!”

Peter roared as his spear shot out like a dragon.

Lightning exploded around the spearhead.

The Rat King let out continuous cries of pain.

But at that exact moment, its hardened tail suddenly whipped toward Peter.

“Watch out!” Steven shouted.

But it was too late.

The tail slammed violently into Peter’s body, even cracking part of his armor.

Peter spat out a mouthful of blood in midair and was sent flying all the way back to Steven’s feet.

“Are you okay?” Steven asked worriedly.

Peter’s face had turned pale. Using the spear to support himself, he forced himself back up.

“Why are you still here? Waiting to die?” Peter snapped.

“I don’t dare leave! How am I supposed to know if there are more around here?”

Peter looked helpless.

“There aren’t any left here. Just those eight. Hurry up and go! Don’t drag me down!”

“You should’ve said that earlier!”

Peter coughed up another mouthful of blood.

The King crouched low, gathering strength.

Then, it shrieked toward the sky once again.

The sound seemed to travel deep underground.

Right then, Olivia’s voice came through the earpiece.

“Captain! A huge group of Bloodfang Rats is coming up from underground! There are Level 2 Bloodfang Rats, too!”

“Captain, there’s a Level 3 Bloodfang Rat King over on your side! Be careful!”

“Oh no! Several more Bloodfang Rats are heading toward Peter!”

Message after message came through.

A shadow settled over every member of Team Ashen.

Peter’s face became grimmer than ever before.

“Well, that’s just great. Nobody is leaving now. More Bloodfang Rats are coming.”

Bianca and Vanessa froze and instantly panicked.

Steven’s expression sank. “How many?”

Finished

The captain’s voice sounded through the earpiece.

“Olivia, notify the other squads and the military immediately! We need backup!”

“Yes, Captain!”

“Peter, hold on!”

Hearing that, Peter felt unprecedented pressure crushing down on him.

Facing Steven’s question, he didn’t even know how to answer anymore.

“Kid, once the Rat King draws the others here, find a chance and run.

“I honestly don’t know if I can hold them off.”

Steven’s expression turned serious. “Haven’t the other teams and the military already been notified?”

“We have. But they won’t get here that fast. When the time comes, you have to leave. Otherwise, I won’t be able to protect you.

Steven nodded. “Got it.”

The Bloodfang Rat King shrieked again and charged Peter once more.

Peter spat out a mouthful of blood. “Damn it! Kill!”

He exploded forward again, lightning surging around him as he fought desperately.

Steven sighed inwardly.

Lightning exploded inside his eyes.

All three Divine Sigils erupted with dazzling brilliance.

Thunder burst wildly from his body.

Then he roared, “Thunderwyrm Armybreaker!”

Instantly, the spear in his hand blazed with blinding lightning as he thrust it forward violently.

A terrifying bolt of thunder shot out from the spear.

Even the Bloodfang Rat King seemed to sense the danger.

Instinctively, every steel–like spike on its body stood upright.

It curled itself into a half–sphere, using its spiked fur to block Peter’s attack.

Boom!

The thunderbolt slammed violently into the Rat King’s body.

Then, it exploded.

The terrifying blast swept across the entire area.

Inside the surrounding houses, civilians trembled in fear, not daring to stick their heads out.

Watching the scene, Steven felt unexpectedly calm.

Finished

“Bianca, look. That’s the power of a Divine Sigil talent. It’s what the academy has always taught us. After reaching the first sigil stage, every Divine Sigil awakens a talent.

“For offensive–type Divine Sigils, that talent is their trump card–their life–saving move.

“That’s called sigil pattern power!

“Every Divine Sigil gives birth to its own corresponding sigil pattern. You’ll have one someday.”
