Chapter 48: [48]:Ratman
~ I have added this Fanfic to my Patreon. If you’d like to read advanced Chapters, feel free to check it out!
~ I’m planning to increase the number of advanced Chapters to +50 this weekend!
~ I’ve edited some of the previous Chapters to remove anything you might consider "cringe" or "unnecessary." I’ll continue reviewing them from time to time!
~ Very soon, we’ll return to releasing two Chapters daily, including bonus privileges for Power Stone contributions

At the far side of the room, a raised dais had a larger than normal ratman sitting in what looked like the lotus position. It was slightly shorter than Byral Warfang had been and was in much better physical condition than either Byral or Farsqueaker. Whipcord-lean limbs corded with muscles beneath the black fur, what little was exposed.
It wore similar clothes to the Gutter Runners from earlier, but they were also far better quality and his most of its fur from sight. It also possessed a hooded cape that ended at its lower back. Two handles were sheathed at its waist, ones Issei recognised as belonging to [Weeping Blades].
"So...you have slain-killed my disciples, man-thing." The black-furred ratman spoke, its eyes still closed.
"Yeah...the whole hide and seek thing got boring after the first time I almost got shanked by them." Issei replied casually, "Really hope you aren’t planning on somehow snuffing out these candles and pulling that on me."
"Keh...a man-thing is weak-weak prey for my skills." The dungeon boss replied contemptuously, "Darkness will be unneeded to slay-murder you."
Eyes still closed, it stood up and rolled its head around before its eyes snapped open. They were totally red, sclera, pupil and iris.
