Eelzad's attention was drawn to a particularly large rat, distinguishable not just by its size but by the malevolent aura it emitted. This rat seemed to be directing the others, its eyes glowing with an eerie, demonic light. The sight confirmed Eelzad's suspicions—this creature had been touched by a demon and mutated, gaining both size and intelligence as a result.
"Looks like I've found the source of the problem," Eelzad muttered to himself, his resolve hardening. He knew that defeating this demon-touched rat would be key to breaking the aggressive coordination of the others.
As he approached, the giant rat let out a guttural growl, its eyes locking onto Eelzad with malevolent intent. The smaller rats responded immediately, moving to intercept him. Eelzad activated his Aqua Sphera Gauntlets, feeling the familiar surge of Ripple Magic course through him. The gauntlets glowed with a soft blue light, ready to channel his power.
"Alright, let's see what you're made of," Eelzad said, his voice steady.
The battle began with a flurry of movement. Eelzad dodged and weaved through the smaller rats, delivering precise, powerful blows that sent them sprawling. Each punch was infused with Ripple Magic, the light energy burning through the rats' flesh and dispersing their demonic influence.
Despite his efforts, the numbers were overwhelming, and Eelzad found himself constantly on the defensive. The giant rat, meanwhile, watched with calculating eyes, waiting for an opportune moment to strike. Eelzad knew he needed to take it down to disrupt the pack's coordination.
