Chapter 12: Horde

  With all of their backs exposed to me, I quickly pulled Guillotine from my back, releasing it from its magic attat point. Positioning the heavy bde to my right side, I tightened my grip on the on's handle and dashed forward, quickly c the remaining distance.

  The instant I was in range, I performed a wide cleaving swing with such force that I effortlessly cleaved right through three-mole rats closest to me like a hot khrough butter, splitting them apart and killing them instantly. Within a couple of seds of pleting that swing, the remaining mole rats noticed something wasn't right through the heavy movement I just made.

  As they were about to turn around and start iigating, I tinued my charge forward at my fastest possible speed. Swiftly arriving at the new prey, I transitioned into atack, cleaving through two more mole rats and right as my bde sailed past, both of their bodies erupted, releasing copious amounts of blood.

  While the blood started pooling, the remaining mole rats that I'd yet to deal with finally got themselves together and turned around. Just as they did the rgest mole rat from before, who I suspected to be their group leader, released a high-pitched screech signaling the remaining mole rats within the group to charge.

  Looks like I'm left with two more directly in front of me and five more on my right. I doly want to be handling enemies from multiple dires, so I deal with the two ahead of me first before I move to elimihe st five on my right side.

  Done pnning out how I wao dispatch the remaining mole rats, I wasted no time and rushed the two in front of me and made another wide cleaving movement, easily killing off those two poor bastards. With those couple of moles taken care of, I turned my attention towards the five ining mole rats and took a step forward while making an insanely wide swing. Which actually mao cleave through four out of the five-mole rats, surprisingly, although I lost my bance for perf such a wild maneuver.

  As I was trying tain my bahe st remaining mole rat smmed into me and brought me to the ground. With my baow against the hard rocky surface of the tunnel floor, the mole rat tched its jaws around my thigh and started thrashing its head bad forth, attempting to tear a k out of me. But unfortunately for it, my armor held up firmly against it, thus it mao do absolutely jack shit to my armor, let alone me. Although its bite force lying quite a bit of pressure on my p.

  Unwilling to let the mole rat tio chew on my armored leg and do as it pleases, I tossed Guillotine aside, and tried prying the creature's jaws off my leg. After attempting to get the damn thing to release my leg for a short bit, I had no luck due to the rat's bite force being quite high. Thus, I retrieved my trusty bat Knife from its sheath and stabbed it directly into the mole rat's jugur, and ripped it up the side of its netil my knife was stopped by its spine.

  As blood spewed out from its neck, it tio thrash about for a short while until it began to lose strength and a few moments ter; it stopped moviirely. When the mole rat died, its jaws lost all strength, so I uned it from my leg and stood up back before I kicked its worthless corpse off to the side.

  If there were any more of them that could've ended badly for me, I'll have to watd keep track of all oppos going forward no matter how weak they may seem.

  Now that all the mole rats were dead minus the ohat ran deeper into the miunnel, I walked over to where I tossed Guillotine and picked it up. Pg it on my back, I backed up to wait and see what sort of friends the sole survivor would return with, but with my 12G Laser Pistol drawn and my stockpile of grenades ready to be thrown at a moment's notice.

  Nothing of note occurred for a while and as I was beginning to get antsy, I picked up a small rumbling sound ing from the tunnel's depths a some faint vibrations from the rocky floor.

  Looks like reinforts are on their way, time to farm.

  Ready to receive the ing exp, I waited eagerly for the mole rats to arrive. No more than a mier, a rge group of about three dozen mole rats came running into view, unaware of the dahat awaited them.

  God damn, that's a shitload of mole rats. I better start lobbing greo thin their numbers some.

  Not wasting a sed, I hurriedly holstered my 12G Laser Pistol and started throwing my stoFC Grenades right into the ter of their group.

  Whilst I was in the midst of rapidly chug my grenades, I began putting some distaween myself and the swarm of mole rats. A few seds into bag up, the grearted nding in the middle of the small hoard. Seds after the first nded, it went off produg a a of psma that engulfed and vaporized the mole rats he ter of the bst and turning the ones he border of the bst radius into piles of ash.

  With the first MFC Grenade going off, the other two sailed through the air and followed suit shortly thereafter, with the same a of energy thinning their numbers even further down to just eight of them. As the as of psma cleared, the remaining mole rats started produg panic-sounding squeaks.

  So with a prime opportunity sitting in front of me I drew Guillotine from my bace again and advanced forward with my bde at the ready as fast as I possibly could. Reag the mole rat within seds, I performed my usual right-to-left swing, slig through two of them right out of the gate.

  Those two disposed of, I tinued moving forward. But just as I was closing in on another kill, one of the little rats leaped at me with its jaws wide open, ready to take a k out of me. Reag quickly, I swung the ft side of my sword at it and the moment my on made tact with its torso; it produced an audible ch from the impact.

  While its body flew off and crashed into the tunnel wall, I tinued rushing forward onto the few mole rats in sight. Once I was in range, I cleaved through them like the rest, leavih only two standing and the one colpsed over by the tunnel wall. With the group of them nearly wiped out, I speedily made my way over to the two still on their feet and ehem then and there.

  Now that those two were sent on their way to their life, I turned back around and walked over to the mole rat that I had incapacitated earlier. The instant I arrived in front of it, I saw that the mole rat was having trouble breathing and was barely hanging on by a thread.

  "Sorry little guy, but it's a dog-eat-dog world out here and I have no iion of leaving this world anytime soon." I said to the struggling mole rat before I raised the hefty bde I was carrying above my head and swung down on its neck, ending the little guy's suffering.

  All enemies eliminated, I sed the area to see if there was any immediate danger. When I found none, I took a moment to settle my heart rate and breathing while leaning up against the tunnel wall.

  Yeah, I think that's enough for today. I could definitely do more, but I'd rather not get ahead of myself a bogged down by more ehan I handle. I holy don't know how I vinced dad to let me venture in here all on my own, the Daddy's Boy perk must've dohe heavy lifting.

  Spending the minute resting, both my breathing a rate calmed down enough so I returned Guillotio its spot on my bad moved my 12G Laser Pistol from my belt to its designated pouch along with the MFC Grenades. From there, I began my journey back through the tunnels in the dire of the mirance.

  ...

  As I was closing in on the mirance, I heard araordinarily loud rumbling sound behind me, inating from the depths of the tunnel.

  Seds after the rumbling became noticeable, an arm started bring as Old Mae came charging over yelling at the top of his lungs. "BOY GET YOUR ASS INSIDE NOW!"

  Not wanting to find out what sort of trouble was ing our way, I did as he told me to and raced straight into the vault. Whilst the rge metal doors of the miraarted to close, I caught a glimpse of a horde of at least several hundred-mole rats st over.

  Staring at the ing tide of them, half in amazement and half in horror, the massive swarm crossed over into the firing range of maurrets surrounding the entra that point, all hell broke loose and the dozens of turrets started unloading onto the waves of blind mole rats, creating a literal light show like no other and eliminating swaths of them.

  While the ser turrets were putting in work, the couple gatling turrets finally spooled up and started spewing hate de at the many, many moles charging for the mirance.

  *Brrrrrrrrrr...*
