Number One Dungeon Supplier

"Fuck! What kind of Demon Rat is that!?" Bu Dong shouted as he deflected one of the attacks, letting Shi Zuo take over his place. Although he had managed to block each and every one of the Demon Rat's attacks, there was no opening for him to take advantage of.

"I am Demon Rat General Roughscream!" The Demon Rat shouted as he had enough of the mindless shouting from those humans. He was not able to understand what they were saying but he did not realise that the Pandawans have an auto translate function based on the System's relentless curiosity to learn its language after catching a few of the Demon Rats.

That was when both the Pandawans and the System had finally found the identity of the Demon Rat that attacked the former. Jin was quite shocked when he found out that the Demon Rat was of a General rank as he did not expect a General to come alone to fight the cultivators.

"You undying humans, I will kill you until you never dare to come back!" Roughscream shouted with excitement as his attacks started to be faster and more precise which Shi Zuo was unable to follow without inserting more chi into his body to keep up with the attacks. He had to channel his chi to strengthen his muscles so that his reflex would match up to the Demon Rat General's attack.

However, he eventually received wounds from Roughscream even though he was very sure that he had evaded it. The only thing he could think of was that his weapon has some sort of ability that allowed the Demon Rat to attack away from his range. That meant that Shi Zuo had to either evade further or faster or he had to block the attacks instead. Yet, when he did the latter, he could feel a deep pierce through his upper chest when he blocked the pickaxe from falling into him.

Shi Zuo checked his HUD and noticed that his health was dipping significantly. The assault did not weaken his block but the inflicted damage caused him to react by jumping backwards to gain some distance. Somehow, that caused Roughscream to smirk as he pulled his weapon backwards like how a miner would retract his hands after a mining action and suddenly Shi Zuo was being pulled back towards him.

"You are not going anywhere." The Demon Rat said as he did the very same action once more by slashing his pickaxe downwards to the very same position where he hit Shi Zuo.

"I am not going to die just like that!" Shi Zuo shouted as he took his axe up and portrayed his Mad Monkey silhouettes above him. His axe, which was initially the size of a hatchet, grew in size with the amount of chi placed into it, causing it to be a great axe in an instant.

"Intermediate Great Axe Art! The Divide Between the Mountains of the Mad Monk-" Shi Zuo was still saying the name of his Great Axe technique but he did not realise that Roughscream practically screamed once more causing him to lose his footing since the sound waves were able to push Shi Zuo backwards and stopped him from activating his technique. This was mainly because Bu Dong and Xiong Da were attempting to attack Roughscream at the same time and the Demon Rat General screamed to stop them from advancing.

At the same time, Roughscream leapt forth and crashed himself onto Shi Zuo, preventing him from moving away and subsequently sending his pickaxe right straight into his skull. Shi Zuo was killed swiftly and that caused Luo Bo who was on the sidelines to yell in anger. Even though she knew that Shi Zuo was not dead per se, the loss of her husband caused her to rage.

"Intermediate Bow Art, Rupture Shock Arrows of the Rabbit!" Luo Bo shouted as she released a continuous barrage of arrows imbued with electricity, allowing her arrows to fly faster than normal considering how Roughscream was able to deflect her attacks with his unique signature ability.

"You guys are pathetic." Roughscream thought to himself as he took his pickaxe up and slammed the ground, causing the tiles and dead bodies of the previous Demon Rats to float upwards, blocking the dead straight arrows flying towards him. Next, he saw where the rest of the Pandawans were and moved to attack each and every one of them.

Xiong Da performed a similar attack by slamming the ground as well to block his advance but he did not expect the Demon Rat General to cut through everything in his path and smashed his pickaxe right straight to his chest, aiming for his heart.

"Do not underestimate the Hippo-" Xiong Da suddenly stopped talking as the general's pickaxe dug further into his chest and penetrated his heart directly, causing major blood loss within himself. The Demon Rat smiled as he knew that he had won if he could kill the invaders this easily but Xiong Da was not going to give the Demon Rat an easy time as he grabbed onto Roughscream and initiated an overload chi inscription- basically a human bomb in layman terms.

"Let's see who has the last laugh." Xiong Da thought to himself but he did not realise that his strength could be overpowered by the Demon Rat General as Roughscream squeezed out of his grapple and kicked him towards the remaining Pandawans. At the same time, he took two dead Demon Rats Elite and used them as body shields. The only unfortunate part was that the moment he picked them up, those Demon Rat corpses turned back to their original 'resource' and the General somehow had been wounded with quite a bit of damage. But other than that, Roughscream continued his onslaught and defeated each and every one of the Pandawans that was alive while letting out a warcry of victory to show his strength. "No matter how many times you are back, I will kill you."

"Hmm. the Pandawans are more conservative than I thought in this particular fight," Jin said to himself as he had them on one of the main console screens in the Dungeon Maker.

"The Demon Rat Elites they fought previously had caused them to be fatigued as they did not expect to face a General rank Demon Rat almost immediately. The System assumed that they are taking turns to fight Roughscream so as to regain their stamina." The System said as it recorded the strengths of the Demon Rat General.

"Their deaths were pretty brutal though. And given the pain metre had been set as realistic, it would take guts to face the Demon Rat General once more." Jin said to himself but he had forgotten that the Pandawans were not the type to give up after their deaths. Instead, they would be back for revenge.

But with the Demon Rat General left undefeated, it seems somebody or somebodies were watching with great intent. "Seems to me that we have ourselves a brand new target -oops I mean a group of brand new targets to look forward to." Kraft thought to himself as he retreated back into the Dungeon Maker Instance's shadows and disappeared alongside his trusted Drow Elves.
