The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low profile

The once joyous campus graduation ceremony had now become a hunting ground for rats.

Despairing and terrified screams intertwined, forming a vast net that enveloped everyone.

A large number of mutated gray rats and Doom Rats with blood-red light permeating their pupils continuously poured out of the tunnels.

They squeaked and chattered.

They were unrestrained.

They orderly chased after the fleeing humans.

The noble students and teachers scattered in panic, each running in a different direction.

The band that had been playing was also hiding in fear.

A young girl who was running slowly tripped over the hem of her long dress.

"Save me, Charles!"

She cried out to her partner in despair.

However, her partner, who had previously sworn eternal love, glanced back before turning away and abandoning her.

In the next moment, the desperate girl was overwhelmed by a large number of mutated gray rats.

Torn and pulled by the gray rats, the girl was dragged into the dark cave until darkness swallowed her desperate cries.

Her dance partner didn't run far either, before a lean Doom Rat bit through his heel, causing him to fall to the ground.

Screaming in pain, the nobleman named Charles was also dragged into the dark cave.

At this moment, students, teachers, and other personnel throughout the campus were constantly being besieged by mutated gray rats.

Although there was some resistance, those sporadic attempts were quickly crushed by the gray rats with dozens or hundreds of times their numbers, then torn apart and devoured.

A scarlet and terrifying blood-colored ceremony was cruelly blooming within the campus.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and death.

Over the past half month,

the rat infestation had been escalating throughout the city of Augran.

There had been horrifying incidents of people being bitten by gray rats, and even dragged away by them.

The fear stemming from the "Rat Plague" began to spread throughout the city of Augran.

The Augran City Hall had already formed rat-catchers and volunteer militias, along with the police force.

They began to exterminate the sewer rats.

Poisoning, traps, blockades, and even the use of a large number of hounds to encircle and suppress the sewer rats were implemented.

Thousands of gray rats were killed.

The "Rat Plague" seemed to be contained for a time.

Zorn knew that the City Hall's actions would indeed weaken the intensity of the "Rat Plague" outbreak to some extent, and protect Augran City.

However, driven by the [Forbidden Blood Source], on this day when the blood source of the superiors bloomed, the [Rat Plague] would erupt in a twisted and frenzied manner.

Now it seemed that today was the day when the terrifying blood source power would erupt.

If it had been a day earlier or a day later,

and the graduation ceremony of the noble academy had been avoided,

then the "blood-colored ceremony" currently happening at the noble academy would not have occurred.

But the trajectory of fate is sometimes so unpredictable.

Since a "blood-colored ceremony" had appeared here,

then other areas would also experience symbolic events marking the outbreak of the rat plague.

On the second floor of the teaching building,

watching the scene of gray rats preying on humans and using them as food,

Jolia, having witnessed the cruelty of the supernatural world, covered her mouth, her face slightly pale.

Although she was a level one witch, if she were to be besieged by these gray rats that crawled out of the sewers, she might not be able to escape.

She secretly glanced at Zorn.

Only to find that Zorn was calmly surveying the campus, as if searching for something.

She immediately understood.

"The Master has already seen through everything!"

Her faith in that great and mysterious [Saint Warlock Master] grew even more fervent.

A rapid assessment of the campus revealed that the "Nightmare Rat-men", each as large as an adult man, that Zorn had once killed, were now appearing on campus.

They directed the mutated gray rats, constantly dragging captured humans into the caves.

There were seven or eight of them just within sight.

Zorn estimated that there were actually twenty or thirty of them, or even more.

At the same time, among these gray rats, there would also be a terrifying [Rat King].

A [Rat King] with high intelligence.

"Hide, go upstairs."

Zorn suddenly bent down, lowered his voice, and said quickly.

Without asking why, Jolia immediately imitated Zorn and bent down to hide.

Zorn noticed that two Nightmare Rat-men were leading a large number of Doom Rats and gray rats, heading this way.

These rampant rat swarms were actually searching for other humans.

And that was the terrifying nature of the [Rat Plague].

In a localized area, they could tear everything apart.

The two climbed all the way to the 5th floor along the stairs.

As soon as they reached the top floor, they discovered an elderly campus cleaner wearing a gray-blue uniform hiding in a corner not far away, trembling.

Obviously, the situation outside had frightened him.

"Shhh!"

Jolia made a shushing gesture to him.

And when Zorn's gaze swept over the cleaner, his pupils contracted slightly.

"Zorn, what do we do now?"

The two squatted down, and Jolia asked in a low voice.

Zorn, however, silently began to mobilize the evil energy of the Evil Spirit Warlock.

Did your mentor teach you any close combat skills?

Zorn asked in a low voice.

"I was taught some, but I haven't had any practical experience."

"Being taught is enough, get ready, you'll have practical experience in a moment."

"What?"

Jolia was still in shock.

Zorn had already turned around abruptly.

The [Doom Annihilation Orb], black mixed with blood-red, hit the cleaner hiding in the corner the moment it was released.

"Boom!"

The huge roar made Jolia feel a ringing in her ears.

While throwing his right middle finger over, Zorn said quickly.

"Go to the stairwell and guard against those Nightmare Rat-men."

The order from the envoy made it impossible for her to refuse.

She immediately ran downstairs, while glancing at the location of the explosion just now.

A viscous darkness mixed with blood threads, like a strange black mist, spread out.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

A low, hoarse voice spread from the black mist that was shaken by the explosion.

At the same time, these black mist quickly converged.

A level two [Nightmare Rat King] with red hair all over its body, a full two meters in size, and also in the form of a Nightmare Rat-man, walked out of the viscous black mist.

Although it used special means to avoid Zorn's "Doom Annihilation Orb" attack.

But it didn't completely avoid it.

Half of its cheek was charred black from the explosion, and its flesh was turned out.

Even though the blood threads were constantly blooming and growing, trying to heal the wound.

But the damage from the "Doom Annihilation Orb" made it clear that it was not so easy to heal.

"Boy, how did you find me?"

This level two peak [Nightmare Rat King], who wanted to capture humans for sacrifice to advance, licked its wound with its tongue, revealing sharp fangs, its voice low and full of anger.

A pair of cold blood-colored eyes, glowing with a scarlet luster, stared dead at Zorn.

It would torture this human transcendent who had injured the great [Nightmare Rat King] until he regretted being born into this world.

Faced with the oppressive Rat King, Zorn appeared relaxed and comfortable.

Rat King BOSS?

It's not like he wasn't a BOSS himself.

Originally, he participated in this blood-colored ceremony because he wanted to find the Rat King and hunt it down.

And then complete the level two advancement.

As a result, the [Rat King] hid in a place they also thought was safe.

"You don't need to know how I found you."

Zorn said lightly.

"Anyway... you're going to die soon!"

As soon as the words fell, Zorn rushed up quickly.

He punched towards the [Nightmare Rat King]'s head.

"Roar Roar..."

Having eaten Zorn's punch, the furious [Nightmare Rat King] waved its claws and counterattacked Zorn.

One man and one rat instantly entered into a high-intensity close combat fight.

Zorn had many other means to get rid of this [Nightmare Rat King].

However, Zorn's [Basic Skull-Cracking Fist] experience points were already at 95%.

Engaging in a high-level fighting match.

This was one of the upgrade conditions for [Basic Skull-Cracking Fist].

At the same time, this was also one of the elements for the [Fighter] advancement.

Killing the Rat King was only a secondary purpose.

Using the Rat King to complete his skill upgrade and level advancement was the primary purpose.
