He walked throught the building, it was mostly empty and deserted. No sign of life. Perhaps he had scared the rats off? Soon, he found himself wrong. The rats were simply calling for more backup. Ren noticed this when there were several loud screechings to be heard. Giant rats began to swarm from all direction. The young ronin smirked at this fearsome sight. He quickly moved his right leg back and bent his knees while bringing up his sword above his head with both his hands. A little bit of wind picked up when he did this stance, but he was too occupied to notice it. The giant rats striked, and Ren swung down his sword in a sideway arc, with one swing he had took out all the rats that were hit by it. With his sword now on his side, he was able to do another full horizontal swing. Taking out the rats that were beginning to surround him. Right after his sword reached the end of the horizontal arc, he wasted no time and dashed straight towards a direction with his sword brought out, taking out all the giant rats that were in his way. He followed it up with a couple more quick swings, his body moved in a dance, not stopping for an instant. But then as he kept slashing at it he found the number of rats to be quite overwhelming.

When the bloodbath ended, Ren sighed a breath of relief. Although he was a fighter, he had never fought a swarm this large; and something tells him that this was just a few of the giant rat’s army, and that there were many more in the sewers. A sudden realisation occured to him that maybe his sheer strength alone was not enough, and that he needed to start working on his magical abilities as well. Something to take note of when he was done with things here. He swung his sword to the side, knocking off the excessive blood that stained it, before he wiped it with a part of his clothes. A samurai tradition he had never forgotten. It was his father who taught him that anyway. He caught something moving at the corner of his eyes. It was one of the rats that somehow managed to survive, fleeing its escape. Ren wasted no time tailing it.

It would be crazy to venture deeper into sewers after that battle. But curiosity won Ren over. Instead of heading back to safety, he decided to discover the unknown. He turned a few corners in the sewer, and all he found was scattering footsteps. It was probably the remaining giant rats running away for their lives. They understood that Ren was not a force they should reckon with. One might question why Ren was still searching for something when he had exterminated a lot of the giant rats. It was because he did not believe that the ‘mother’ rat was their leader, not at all. He believed that it was just one of their stronger units, and that their leader was still somewhere in the sewer. Hiding, lurking, watching his every move.
That was when he saw something moving. A shadow, a sillhouette that had the shape different from that of the rats. Like before, Ren wasted no time in tailing the figure. It seemed to have noticed that Ren had noticed of its presence and sped up. But they were no match for Ren’s speed. Slowly Ren began to catch up with it. Suddenly several giant rats then jumped at Ren from the sides, but in just one slash of his blade the giant rats dropped dead to the ground. But they did manage to slow Ren by a little bit. That gave away the information that whatever Ren was chasing, it had to be someone important, someone that mattered to the giant rats, or someone that could control the giant rats itself. That was when Ren decided to lunge forward to tackle down the sillhouette. As Ren got closer to the figure, it spewed out a black fog that took Ren by surprise, stopping him in his tracks. The black fog messed with his vision, he couldn’t see anything. So following his instincts, he backed away. When his sense of sight slowly returned, he noticed that he was alone, and whatever he was chasing then had already escaped. He had lost it. With no more clues to track he trace back his route to where he came from. There was a possibility that he could get lost in the giant sewer system, thankfully he had enough experience in the wild to navigate his surroundings.
With the remaining strength he had, Ren walked out of the building with a few scars and bruises here and there. But it was nothing that he couldn’t handle. As he exited the building, a man clapped his hands to congratulate him. Wonderful, he told Ren. He mentioned that he was one of the people working for the person who posted the job advertisement. He told Ren that he noticed the flyer had gone missing and went to see the site for himself. He said that Ren did well in exterminating a major amount of the rats and even the bigger life-threatening one. He also mentioned how dexterious and scary Ren was, and that he look forward to working more with Ren in the future. He gave Ren the rewards he deserved and with that Ren walked away, itching for a nice warm bath.
