Bloodlust-:

"Have you fought with any such type of creature before," Scarlett asked.

"I have, why do you ask," said Aurel.

"Just because...…"

The stone headed creature looked like a hybrid of an alligator and an armadillo with a large tongue revealing out of its mouth.

Aurel quickly opened his stats table-:

Just as he used his 'scan' skill on the creature, notification after notification started to pop out,

The creature leapt in the air and claws appeared from its two front limbs. Despite having a thick muscular body type, it was fast as hell.

Scarlett backed out at once throwing Aurel to the other end but between this short amount of time she managed to give a large cut to the creature.

Aurel put on a huge grin on his face but the cut started to close and the creature slowly started to recover. That grin on his face disappeared at once.

The Vermin Draco had learned from the last attack and sprawled over Scarlett to her side. She somehow managed to move to the side but her response was not quick enough, the creature quickly threw itself over Scarlett.

The creature was now at an advantage as it was on Scarlett trying to chew her off with its drippy mouth.

Aurel threw a stone at the creature but the creature was showing its wrath only to Scarlett. He ran towards her and enthused his sword inside the creature. It fell of from Scarlett on the ground covered with blood.

The creature lay dead on the ground. He picked up Scarlett from the ground who was sweating profusely from the attack.

"Are you okay, is it hurting somewhere," Aurel asked while she just gave a vague 'no' nod.

<50 exp gained>

Multiple notifications had been received at once and everything was just a fantasy for him. Not only did he receive 50 exp at once but also gained some bonus exp.

He quickly opened up his stats tab and noticed that his exp table showed <70/100> and his agility point has also been added.

"Now what, I don't see any necktie on him," said Aurel. "Are you sure the other beast will really come."

"You can't see it, it's a nano chip and it's embedded on the skin surface," said Scarlett. "We need to move, the beast will come looking for us on its own."

"As you wish, your honour," said Aurel.

"Stop giggling and just walk."

Aurel started walking disappointed on her remark, "crazy demented girl," he thought.

After fighting with just one basic level beast he knew he had to be very careful even against the other basic level beasts.

They ran straight while Aurel had no idea where they were heading to. All he could do was to run since he had no choice but to trust in Scarlett.

Just as they ran straight, they noticed a building ahead of them. Although it was in a bad condition but it was still better than most other buildings in their way.

They ran inside it and the hall space was large but not anything like vast. They spotted a stairway and ran through it to the top to get a clear view of the prison.

But as soon as they put the last step on the staircase they heard a growling sound. They turned around and it was like their nightmare come true.

There were nearly 8 Vermin creatures all looking desperately hungry.

1 was difficult to handle and those 8 creatures were nearly impossible to fight and that too all at once.

Scarlett took out a sharp baton and said, "move aside."

The creatures marched forward on the stair and as they reached halfway on the stairs she hit the baton on the ground with full force and the shockwaves created from the hit sent the vermins flying in the air.

The creatures growled out loudly in pain.

Scarlett held his hands and ran over as fast as she could.

"How many can you take down," Scarlett asked while running.

"Eh, what…. Who should I take," Aurel was still in shock.

"Ah, I can take 4 of them down, yes,4," said Aurel.

They reached the topmost floor and drew out their weapons ready to attack on the beasts. In no time, the beasts recovered and charged towards them all at once.

Aurel dashed forward and sliced one of the Draco almost in half while the other prowled at him. He moved out of the way and the beast hit its head on the sword.

The other 2 beasts charged towards Scarlett, the first one got killed in one blow from the gauntlet, while the other one clomped its sharp fangs inside Scarlett's arms.

Aurel was too quick but he was surrounded by the Vermins from both the side, one of them sliced Aurel's abdomen with its sharp claws, this had a great effect on Aurel's HP. It decreased by 1 points instantly and its pain could be felt thoroughly.

He took the sword and in one blow pierced it through the Vermin. This shot scared the other vermins and they backed off slightly. Scarlett had killed both the creatures and then with the mighty gauntlets hit one of the vermins on the head.

Now only two of them were left, seeing their comrades die the creatures became more aggressive than before and each of the vermin attacked ferociously.

Their attack seemed too powerful to handle. Even scarlet was shocked with the sudden increase in their power.

The vermin bit Aurel on the leg and pierced its fangs through it, Aurel screamed in pain. Scarlett quickly jumped off from the other Vermin and sliced the thorny end of the gauntlet through the neck.

Aurel freed himself from the vermin and soon Scarlett also killed the last one in one blow on its head.

All the creatures lie dead on the ground while the whole area was covered with blood.

Meanwhile, there was chaos brewing out inside the academy. All the students including the teachers were running haywire.
