Ch 43 : Battle against Rats

< In this trial, the four winners of the previous trial must do their best to survive the calamity and clear the objectives.>

<The setting was placed on the apocalypse where humanity was all almost eaten alive by rats, and your performance would be based on how you protect the last few human survivors in the base.>

< The trial will end after All the Rats has been defeated or the number of human survivors has reached zero.>

< Remember, in your world, there was once a saying if you can't beat them, join them.>

< Now the introduction has ended, the trial will start.>

The words from the dungeon fell, and ray could feel the change in his surrounding. the place which was already barren before now became more barren.

But now, there was a small survivor camp in the middle.

[ Number of survivors left: 10.]

[ Number of Rats left: 100,000.]

It seems the dungeon also provided the count for the number of survivors and rats left to ease their burden.

However, all of this could not make their tense feeling gone. In fact, after seeing that there would be more than 100,0000 Rats as their enemy, Elin and Ellen's face has turned into despair.

The two of them were not awakened, and they knew that they would just be a burden to the two guys in front of them. Still, if they were asked whether they wanted to survive or not, the two definitely said that they wanted to survive. There were still many things they wanted to do outside, and they are not willing to die inside this dungeon.

" Umm."

" Don't worry. You don't need to say anything. I will protect you." Ray, who was still in the chicken mask, said to both Ellen and Elin, reducing their burden by a bit.

Still, they knew this trial would not be easy. Just four of them against one hundred thousand rats. Ray could only hope that the rats were just normal rats and not a danger beasts.

Next, Ray, who knew that they must survive this summoned his chickens. At first, he has the thought to just use the DM system to escape this place. But reality hit him hard when the DM system told him that his level was not high enough to bring someone with him.

" *Sigh* Let's just do this."

Behind Ray, an army of ten muscular chickens and one bald chicken appeared from a portal.

" Coop!" { Where is this Boss? Are we gonna do another dungeon exploration?}

" Coop-Coop! { Muscle yeah!}

He then told the chicken about the situation and what they needed to do to survive.

At first, he also has the thought of summoning Freed, but eventually, he decides to keep Freed as his last saving measure. Who knows if there are other trials, and if he used all his trump cards right now, the next trial would be hell to him.

Soon with everyone ready, they could feel the changes in the atmosphere.

Right now, it was full of tension, and they knew that the rats were coming.

From a distance, they could see so many black dots gathering and rushing at them.

" Boss-Chicken, start with the pre-emptive attack!"

Under everyone's eyes, the black dots were moving closer and closer to them, but Ray understood that he must keep his calm.

With his instruction, the Boss-Chicken started to lay so many red eggs and brought them to Ray.

" All set and ready Coop!"

" Nice one, Boss-chicken." Ray took the eggs and gave them to the two girls.

" Here, if they got so close, it would be a horror to us, so we must start attacking them from afar. Throw this to them, and it should give them some significant damage."

Even though Ray had said that he could see that the two girls were still in a bit of loss. Thus, he had no other choice but to show them the way first.

" Look at this. I'll show you an example."

He took one of the red eggs, and with a smooth motion, he threw them at the colony of black dots.

And then...

BOOMMM!!!!!!

An explosion occurred right in the middle of black dots, obliterating many of them.

" This..." The event that just happened now startled the two girls, but they soon recovered, and now their eyes were filled with hope.

" With this, we could survive!"

The hope that they thought has been lost just now has been recovered and they watched the eggs on their hand with excitement.

" You see them, right? We will hold them in the front line. You two keep supporting us from the back." Ray instructed them and left them to went into the front line.

He looked at the front line, and he only saw the ten muscular chickens and the Mahkota heir there.

No fence, no wall, it was all open, and they must be ready for direct confrontation.

" Humph, what you are doing was just wasting resources. Why gave them when you could just use it for yourself."

The Mahkota heirs said to Ray. However, Ray chose to stay silent.

Everyone was different. To him, this dungeon was not that important, and he didn't really care whether he got the reward from this dungeon or not. What he cared about was only to leave this dungeon safely with the others.

" Humph, trying to act mysterious and cool. Let's see who will be the one to survive till the end." Seeing Ray didn't reply to him, the Mahkota heir got a bit angry.

All his life he has been treated like a prince. So when he saw someone was ignoring him, he felt really disrespected.
