Ben instantly switched to the 3rd POV blood vision, covering everything under the radius of 50 meters, and he detected enemies. Not one, not ten, but hundreds of them—hundreds of black energy—were spawning out of the ground like plants, and all of them were heading toward Ben.

"Ouch, it looks like I hit some nerves," Ben said, chuckling. He rotated his spears in his hands, his eyes closed, his expression serious, and he took a fighting stance. The mutant rats were slightly bigger and more agile than before, but what changed was their size.

Instead of attacking Ben through ambush, these monsters were confronting him directly. From all the directions around him, it seemed as if something was trembling them to attack Ben, thawing over their senses only to kill.
