Without losing momentum, the mutated rat retaliated, spewing a blast of acid from its mouth.
The corrosive spray shot straight toward Ethan, who narrowly dodged it by mere centimeters.
He had tried to block it with multiple shadow shields, but the acid tore through them instantly, disintegrating them on contact.
"A complete bane to my ability… this one's tricky," Ethan murmured, narrowing his eyes as he focused all his attention on the mutated rat.
Seeing Ethan standing perfectly fine, the mutated rat let out an enraged screech and charged again, furious that its prey was so difficult to kill.
It lunged again and again, trying to bite and swallow him whole, but Ethan slipped away every time, calmly calculating its movements while observing each attack.
The fight turned into a game of cat and mouse.
The mutated rat chased relentlessly, doing everything it could to catch him. Yet whenever it came close, Ethan would vanish without leaving even a trace behind.
