Asshole Cat

With heavy breathing and steps that exhausted more energy than normal, HugeP finally caught up to Balatro.

Other teammates were beside him, and the Tier IV combatants who didn't swallow the pills to reach the next tier regretted it too late.

"Where is Balatro?" he asked, his darting eyes furiously.

Amidst this chaos, they caught a glimpse of Nero.

The cat was quicker and deadlier than anything they had ever seen.
