Varian felt suffocated. The mere presence of the mother rat was enough for him to realize he wasn't strong enough to face it.
Step

The mother rat saw the purple blood dripping from Varian's fingertips. The same purple blood inside it boiled and it let out a deafening roar.
"Roarrr!"
Varian covered his hears and stepped out of the cave.
He didn't run first. If he did, he'd be caught up in no time.
'Buy time—distract—avoid…' Various choices popped in his mind and Varian saw the four eyes of the mother rat turning bloodshot.
Time was pressing, and Varian took the initiative.
Pop.
He picked out a beast core from his space ring. It was a red-scaled rat's.
The mother rat's gaze was fixed on the beast core. Sensing the familiar aura of its children, it went crazy.
"Roarr!"
That was the final straw.
Mother rat legs bent and it was about to pounce on him.
