it was a win -win situation for all of them, or at least that's how Shichiro registered it in his mind. Everybody was profiting in some way, shape or form, even if he was undercutting his client a bit. Well whatever the case may be Shichiro figured if it ever surfaced, he'll deal with it when the time arises. Now arriving at his destination, Shichiro figured it was in his best interest to just to inform the attendant they were going to continue on with previous request of Pest Control and clear out any more of the buggers that they might find in there.

Smirking at this, he would pull himself out of the bed and go about his morning routine before throwing on his jumper and heading out towards the guild hall. He was to meet with the other two there today, even if they were doing the same extermination mission as before, the meeting place had been decided ahead of time as to make sure they were all there this time.

These sorts of thoughts were filling Keita’s mind as he woke up and got dressed, ready to head down to the building once more to start clearing out the rats. He was determined to get a couple of floors done today, not just a single floor like he had been doing previously. He was getting more and more accustomed to his particular earth magic, and it greatly helped that the entire building was made of reinforced concrete, so he could still effectively use his mag wherever he wanted in the building.

Arriving at the building, Shichiro knew he had one more basement floor to do today before he could join the other two knights, Keita and Seika, at traversing the upper floors, knowing he wouldn't have to crawl around the basements anymore. He was sure that he would have to periodically check down there from time to time as he was sure more rats would move in when the old ones had left. Well, he was being paid to do this until contractors came to fix up the building as best the good for that new business that was going on about. Well, now that he was here, he decided he would just step inside.

Rolling his shoulders, he knew he had a few more rooms to clear before he was done with the first floor, the rather large building had been taking him a bit of time since he had to clear it out room by room instead of just flat out incinerating an entire wing and being done with it. The building still needed to be used later on and if he went with his normal methods of removing nuisances he'd have wrecked the whole thing and brought it down on top of their heads.
It wouldn't take them long to arrive, thankfully avoiding the dreaded back alleys as they all parted ways to deal with their own sections of the building. Seika wondered what annoyances awaited him on the first floor today as he strode forward with a purpose.

It was a bit of a walk going down there but eventually, he made it there. When he attempted to push the door open, he noticed it hadn't budged. Turning the knob and pushing harder he wasn't having much luck. The door must have been stuck or broken or something from within the room. Standing backwards from the door, Shichiro decided to think about what they should do from here. He didn't want to blow it open since it may or may not damage the building even further than it already was.

Hand brushing against the smooth paint that adorned the hallway next to his door, he'd curl his fingers around the handle before wrenching it open with a loud crack before sliding the door against the frame and peered inside. The clustered rodents all turned to regard the sound instantly, their huddled forms shaking in the shadows. There was no sudden movement, no unnecessary sounds. It was deathly silent as the rodents looked upon the man who had stepped into their presence. They knew who this one was.

Keita wanted to make sure that the injured creatures would not get back up and attack him in the back when he was traveling up the floors, and so there was a pressing concern to check the floors that had already been cleared. The second straggler that he had found was eating one of the bodies that he had killed with some spikes the previous day, and for some reason it had waited until it had rotted to dig in, which made Keita slightly gag. Still, a long range spike to the head finished that one off as well, and Keita headed back to the stairwell.

Unfortunately for him, it wasn't that easy. It seems as if the debris was larger than he initially thought so he put his sheathed sword back on his back. "Hey Captain, I think the entire door is blocked off. There's a giant piece of debris just blocking the door. You might not have a choice in blocking this place up or not. We might be able to open it if we both push it together though," suggested Panther. Placing his right hand under his chin, Shichiro decided to take the idea into consideration and give it a try. Afterwards, Shichiro straightened himself and placed both of his hands onto the door, waiting and giving his companion some room.

Keita finally managed to find a floor a few flights of stairs up, and so he did his usual thing of being very stealthy and low to the ground when he was checking out the initial room on the floor, and he suddenly had a great idea. Keita summoned a small elemental that looked like some sort of clay humanoid figure, and sent it over into the room, and told it to do a few rounds of walking through the rooms. This way, if anything was there to ambush him, it would most likely ambush the summon first, and so it would only cost him a bit of mana instead of having to constantly tip toe everywhere and potentially get ambushed by a bunch of rat monsters.

Shichiro decided it would be best to wedge a chunk of rubble between the door in order to hold it open just in case more or of the ceiling comes down in order to block the exit. Well, they were here to do a job but he wanted to make sure nothing obscured his exit. Shichiro then decided it was best if Panther Lily went over to scout on ahead while he tries to clear up the doorway in case they needed to leave this floor quickly for some reason or the other in a hurry. Since it already showed signs of collapsing, he didn't want to die from a cave in.

The chittering mass surged forward again. They had become one now, the true was with them. The true would tell them the right way to go. The true would make sure they were fed. They would no longer have to fight amongst themselves to get scraps. The true knew all. The true said that the intruders must be removed. For the good of the colony. They would make good food. All of them were plump, all of them were
With that thought, a wave of chittering bodies rushed forward at Seika causing his eyes to widen in shock. The previous pace that they had been approaching had been dangerous, but now it was downright ridiculous.
Backing up out of the room, the grown man turn and fled from the wave of bodies that crashed through the door like a tsunami. There were far more rats than had actually been in that room, and as he passed rooms that he had previously cleared in the past he could see even more of the furry menaces coming out of the walls. This was going to be a problem. He had to warn Keita and Shichiro.

As he walked into the room, he was sure to check the corners and such with the golem method he had done previously, so he watched as his little mud golem ran into the room and made a bit of a commotion, before heading to the case. Keita might as well just send his little dude over there so that he could grab the case and just bring it to the master who summoned him, instead of just doing it himself. As the golem grabbed the case, suddenly the room shook slightly, and a large rat creatures appeared from seemingly nowhere, eating the golem in a single bite.

After a few seconds of looking, he couldn't really tell what was going on and so he decided he would try and make his way back to Shichiro. If he could go back and tell him without alerting the rats, they might be able to enlist the help of the other two Knights to come down here and take care of this group of four. As Panther began to walk backwards slowly, he missed a step, falling backwards. He landed on his butt and the sheathed of his sword landed onto the ground with a loud metal clang. This caused the rats to stop what they were doing and began to look in the direction they heard the noise form.

The being reached forward, it's 'arm' stretching forward as it 'grasped' out at the man, wave after wave of bodies reaching toward the man that had escaped so far. Seika grunted in exertion as he 'heard' the sound of the bodies crashing towards him rather than saw them as he jumped forward and turned, his hands already glowing with magic as he thrusted out his hands and unleashed two large balls of plasma towards the grasping forms. His teeth gritted as he watched only the bodies that had reached out towards him be incinerated and them assimilated back into the forms. This was starting to become ridiculous.
His body crashed into the floor hard before rolling into a vault that launched him back into a sprint, his body rushing down the hallway as fast as he could.

Keita was fine and was bracing himself on the railing near the stair well, and he was going to stay there for the time being, as he was pretty busy controlling his summon. He did not want to give it a simple command such as: attack, as this would simply lead the gorilla into swinging on the rat monster without any heed paid to his defences, and would most likely end up getting destroyed. The large summon that he had was rapidly draining his mana, and it was quite a bit to summon it in the first place, so he did not want to lose him. As the fight raged on, it seemed like the rat, with actual internal organs, was being worn down.
Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:35 pm
Before he could make a move, Lily Panther had begun to yell at Shichiro, "OPEN THE DOOR AND GET OUT!!! WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE OR WE'RE GONNA BE RAT FOOD!!! THERE'S TOO MANY!!! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!!!" Shichiro's eyes had widened as he turned back towards the door he had just finished clearing the area of and opened it wide before jumping through. With his left arm outstretched to touch the doorknob, he had waited until his companion passed through in order to slam the door shut, hoping it wouldn't break from the sudden impact. Luckily it was a bit sturdier than it let on. Lily Panther once again transformed into his battle form and began to hold the door shut alongside Shichiro.

He cupped another ball of plasma and threw it into a room ahead of himself, the explosive force behind the ball impacting the wall and essentially incinerating everything inside upon contact blew him into the wall on the opposite side of the hallway mid stride. He didn't let this slow him down however, continuing to run as fast as he could to escape what would likely be an extremely long and painful death at the mercy of thousands or millions of small teeth and claws. That was not an end he wished to have thank you very much.
Sun Jun 27, 2021 10:17 pm
This was going to be impossible, however, because it had made the critical mistake of overstaying its welcome, and soon it fell to the floor, too tired and beaten to continue fighting with the gorilla. As it fell to the floor, Keita was not a soft hearted person and would simply make sure that this thing was dead, and so commanded the gorilla to smash its head in with as much force as it could muster.
Sun Jun 27, 2021 10:47 pm
Shichiro nodded, slowly releasing his grip on the doorknob in order to dash up the stairwell in hopes of finding both Keita and Seika. He needed the help of two of them in order to deal with the rat infestation downstairs. It took only a couple of minutes to reach back to the first floor of the building by running up the steps. Opening the door to the lobby, Shichiro couldn't see anything immediately. He then came out and began to yell for both Keita and Seika. he wasn't sure if they were even still on this floor or not but he would at least have to try and get their attention for Lily Panther's sake. After all, he was still downstairs with the horde of rats, keeping them at bay as best he could.
Sun Jun 27, 2021 10:59 pm
Eyebrows shooting upwards, he would finally unleash the condensed ball of plasma towards the wall of flesh. Upon impact with the ground the ball would expand and then splash outwards blanketing the mass in flames that attempted to burn them all away. It was not to be however as the flames only seemed to deter the mass for just a second before it burst through just as his body slammed straight through the door into the lobby, his form crashing over the receptionist desk and landing near the stairwell to the basement.
Sun Jun 27, 2021 11:25 pm
Keita looked around the floor, giving it a once over before he was absolutely sure there was nothing else here and that there was nothing that was going to jump out at him either, before heading to the next floor, where he saw something more normal, which was simply a gathering of six of these rat monsters.
Sun Jun 27, 2021 11:48 pm
He was unsure if Seika was currently unconscious or not but he knew he couldn't just leave him there. For now, he'd just bring him back down with the rats and assess the situation. Any minute now, that monstrosity that Seika had faced previously would descend upon them soon. That much was clear but when it did, what would they do? He was currently unaware what Keita was doing at the moment so he couldn't even call him for help with these fiends or the rat infestation behind the door Lily Panther was current;y using all of his might to hold at bay.
