Through the hallways nearby the town of slimes; Shinto and the group hurriedly rushed along the paths as they battled against the rats that appeared.
"Kiikk!" The rats pounced forward towards Frey—However, in return for fire, Frey hurriedly kicked the rats towards a wall. Then, from behind her, Kon scurried over as he sent a burning flame, swiftly turning them to grey-ash.
"Is it me, or are the rats much fewer in numbers compared to back then?" Frey tilted her head in question.
"Well, Rustly did say this part of the catacombs was heavily guarded by the slimes," Shinto explained whilst shooting out a few mana sparks over to the running rats. Following up with that, he casted [Divinity Point], pushing them back slightly.
"If they're few in numbers, it means we can just level up peacefully," Ethaniel calmly stated whilst swinging his sword in an arc, turning the rats that Shinto had pushed back into ash.
