A group of demonic rats about the size of wild dogs clustered far away from the main battlefield between the powerhouses of monsters, humans, and Vereenas.
Unlike the stronger monsters, the F-rank demonic beasts remained as far away as they could manage. Occasionally, they feasted on body parts that were blasted in their direction. At the moment, the group of over two dozen demonic rats fed greedily on the corpse of a demonic boar, tearing into flesh with savage hunger.
Nonetheless, they were abruptly distracted when a loud shriek thundered from the sky above them, sharp and commanding, forcing all of them to look up at once. Their gazes met the cold, multicolored eyes of Obsidian, who had already marked them as its prey.
It flapped its massive wings and, with a swift adjustment of trajectory, began descending toward them. From its elevated vantage point, its bird's-eye view captured all their movements clearly as they tensed and prepared for combat.
