"What's wrong? I am not done fighting yet." As the Vicious Black Crocodile retreated, Tyson also
recovered from the state of madness. But he was still in a bad mood.
"They have shown up," Kristen said in a low voice. "Faster than I thought."
On hearing Kristen's words, Ricky and Tyson reacted immediately. They looked straight ahead.
However, what they saw was a group of forty people. Absolutely, they were all members of the Rats.
They didn't pay much attention to this group of people. Instead, they were focusing on these people's
feet, because each of them was stepping on a Vicious Black Crocodile.
"How... How is this possible? How can these ferocious crocodiles allow these guys to step on their
backs?" Seeing this terrifying scene, Tyson shouted uncontrollably.
Ricky and Kristen didn't utter a single word, but from the look on their faces, they were even more
bewildered than Tyson.
"Ha-ha, we all know that when a friend arrives, he must be treated with hospitality. We Rats just
dispatched twenty poisonous crocodiles, but I'm afraid it's still not enough. Now, I, Rattus, personally
lead my brothers here to welcome you all to my humble abode." When the three were still in
astonishment, a sharp-tongued, shifty-eyed thin man appeared from the crowd and let out a roaring
laughter.
While he was laughing, his tiny eyes constantly swept around Kristen's plump body, almost drooling.
"Ha-ha, your name is Rattus. You have a spitting image with a rat." Hearing the laughter, Tyson reacted
from the shock. He sneered at Rattus, and then laughed.
All of a sudden, the face of Rattus turned gloomy, so did the members of the Rats standing behind.
Even those Vicious Black Crocodiles started to roar.
"Leader, please give the order. Let us slay this rubbish and chop him up. Those who insult our leader
should all go to hell!" Warriors of the Rats all shouted angrily.
Their outburst was almost strong enough to submerge Tyson.
"Humph! You bastards, why don't you all fight me? That will be my pleasure as I am not through with all
of you yet. Come and try my fist of fury!" Tyson bellowed after he heard those warriors' clamor.
'This Tyson is really out of his mind. How can I make him calm down a bit? According to the current
situation, possibly it is we that might be defeated. After all, those Vicious Black Crocodiles are not just
for parade!' Ricky exclaimed in his mind as he felt Tyson's craziness for fight.
...
"What on earth are you doing? How can you be so savage in front of this alluring beauty?" Rattus didn't
seem to be impressed. Instead, he turned to talk to people behind him in a calm manner.
However, his calm figure made all the members of the Rats uncomfortable. Some of them even felt
terrified beyond belief.
'Is this Rattus so terrible?' Ricky thought to himself at the sight of him.
At this time, Rattus had grown strong desire towards Kristen. Saliva flowed down from his mouth while
his small eyes almost popped out. He said to Kristen eagerly, "This beautiful lady, will you be my wife?
If you agree, everything that your eyes can reach within Black Marsh will be yours..."
"Get out of my face! Now scram!" Kristen's face reddened with exasperation. She let out a sharp kick to
his crotch right before he could even finish his words.
Without precaution, Rattus was inevitably kicked by Kristen. Then he flew out in miserable scream with
his hands covering his crotch and tumbled awkwardly in the Black Marsh.
Ricky and Tyson were both frightened while watching the ghastly scene.
They thought to themselves that even for the most powerful warriors, to be kicked in their crotches
would be excruciating. They would never want to get kicked in their groins by Kristen, a warrior almost
at the seventh grade of the Bone Reinforcement.
From the eerie scream, Ricky and Tyson seemed to figure out what was called a disaster. They gaped
at each other, deliberating: Kristen was a dangerous warrior. We should always watch our back and
never irritate her.
"Kill! Cease them! Kill them all!" Humiliated, Rattus could not bear it any more even if he was a
gentleman, which he wasn't. His eyes grew dimmer and let out a frantic cry.
Two warriors came up immediately to hold his arms. Remaining members of the Rats as well as the
Vicious Black Crocodiles under their feet came straight to Ricky, Tyson and Kristen like a swarm of
bees.
Everyone seemed in outrage, especially the Vicious Black Crocodiles. They were all howling as if they
also felt the agony of Rattus.
'The alliance between these Vicious Black Crocodiles and Rattus seems exceptional.' Ricky analyzed
the current plight he was in based on his judgement.
Besides, he knew the Rat warriors could handle the Vicious Black Crocodiles, which made him wonder
how they managed to do that.
Despite the fact that mortals and warriors could become combat partners, it was uncommon that this
warrior troop all became combat partners with the Vicious Black Crocodiles.
However, Ricky had no time to spare. He had to first find solution to the present danger.
This time, it was Kristen instead of Tyson who took the lead in counterattacking. She was even more
outraged than Tyson. She was formidable as she had never been. Kristen broke out her power of a
warrior at the sixth grade of Bone Reinforcement, her bloody eyes seeming to be nobler. A long blood-
red whip suddenly appeared in her hand. She brandished her whip flexibly and struck down several
Vicious Black Crocodiles as well as members of the Rats.
'Women in rage are frightful!' Ricky blurted in his mind.
Needless to say, Rattus must have made Kristen disgusted and nauseated, which aggravated the most
furious Kristen.
Tyson standing behind also shook his head, obviously having the same thought as Ricky.
However, Ricky soon found out some key points that Kristen seemed to be able to predict the attack
pattern of the members of the Rats in advance, and then make the most precise counterattack. It did
not take her much effort to defeat these warriors.
'Does her eyes always appear scary as that? Is this another ability of her bloody eyes?' Ricky thought
to himself.
Ricky knew that Kristen's scarlet eyes were odd. And now, this pair of eyes seemed to also ignite the
Chaotic Fire Zone inside his body.
But Ricky couldn't analyze and envision what could transpire during the brutal battle.
The battle was a lot easier owing to Kristen's rage and the powerful strikes of Tyson. Time passed by,
the Vicious Black Crocodiles and the members of the Rats were slowly losing.
Of course, an important factor was that their leader—Rattus, was seriously hurt by Kristen's sudden
kick, making the Rats lose one third of their fighting power.
Because Rattus was at the sixth grade of Bone Reinforcement, his skills and power were equal to a
third of the fighting force of the Rats.
"Step back instantly!" Rattus roared all of a sudden.
