Although Hidan was very displeased, Tobi still stayed behind.
"Tobi, go play over there. After I cut off this guy's rat head, I'll come find you."
"But Shinji-senpai…"
Tobi hesitated.
"It's okay, that bastard will just blame me if asked."
Tobi's eyes lit up. "Can I push everything onto Hidan-senpai? That's great!"
"No way! Are you trying to trick me again?!"
"Huh? No, forget it—I'll stay here and help out instead."
Tobi put his hands behind his head, adopting a pose like he was trying to cheat someone.
Hidan's face immediately darkened with several black lines, and he gritted his teeth: "Fine, do whatever you want. Just stay far away and don't interfere."
"Yay, deal!"
"I'll tell Shinji-senpai right away."
"Talking nonsense and whining, go die!"
The rat-headed guy, ignored by everyone, suddenly launched the attack first. His speed was so fast that Tobi was startled.
"Whoa, my head's about to get bitten off!"
Tobi immediately scrambled and ran, and the rat-headed guy really flew past his head, missing with his sharp teeth.
Hidan was furious—this guy clearly didn't take him seriously!
He immediately charged forward, swinging the Bloody March Scythe fiercely at the rat-headed guy!
Although the rat-headed guy blocked with his claws, his strange weapon was inherently difficult to defend against.
The longest blade immediately scraped off the rat-head's thick fur, giving him a mohawk hairstyle!
The rat-head, retreating to a safe distance, touched his bald scalp and saw that his eyes weren't even red anymore—they were bloodshot.
"I will eat you alive!"
"Evil Rat Curse — Body of Ten Thousand!"
The rat-head's skin instantly swelled with a series of large lumps, and then tiny rats no bigger than a palm began to crawl out from inside.
But as these rats hit the ground, they immediately catalyzed into sizes comparable to cats or dogs, with blood-red eyes and saliva dripping from their mouths.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred enormous rats appeared beneath the rat-head.
Having finished all this, the rat-head instinctively looked to inject deadly disease bacteria into his "babies," but when he turned his head and saw the empty space beside him, he froze for a moment, then remembered that Tuogen was currently unleashing his domain and slaughtering wildly inside.
"No disease spirit, I, the Rat King, can still take down these two humans!"
The rat-head made a sudden decision—he didn't call back the rat swarm, choosing instead to leave them be.
Because this was a critical moment; without their help, the remaining low-level curse spirits probably wouldn't be able to succeed for a while.
If he recalled the rat swarm prematurely and caused the plan to fail, his own fate would be grim.
"Come on, my babies, eat them all for me!"
Following the command, a horde of giant rats pounced at Hidan and Tobi.
"Ahh! Such terrifying rats, so disgusting, ugh!"
"Don't bite my butt, senior Hidan! Save me~"
Hidan swung his Bloody March Scythe, killing all the attacking rats, while watching Tobi run around wildly—running from east to west, north to south, with a huge swarm of rats chasing him and biting.
But no matter how many rats chased or ambushed him, Tobi couldn't be caught.
Though he yelled desperately, not a single hair was actually touched.
In fact, Hidan himself was injured—his legs already bleeding.
That made him even angrier!
"Tobi! Can you stop flailing around in front of me?!"
"No, senior Hidan, there are just too many rats here, I'm so scared~"
Damn it!
Hidan cursed under his breath. His eyes grew even crazier because of the[Fanatic Follower].
Especially as he kept slaughtering, his power kept increasing.
This "target" is quite perceptive!
Obviously, these mutated rats, which are roughly the size of normal cats or dogs, are targets he can kill.
And both effects triggered simultaneously!
Hidan relied heavily on his body's instincts and combat reflexes, and now his power doubled.
Facing countless rats biting from all directions, Hidan surprisingly handled it with ease, always managing to kill the most rats with minimal cost.
The rat-head couldn't sit still anymore.
He shook off his claws, ignored Tobi, and charged straight at Hidan.
In his view, his "babies" couldn't defeat this damn human, but they could create opportunities and distract him.
This way, he could freely advance or retreat.
But what he didn't realize was that Hidan had completely changed from just a few minutes ago.
The Bloody March Scythe was glowing with a terrifying dark red—an indication of[Slaughter Hero]'s effect stacking deeper and deeper.
Piercing Heart!
The rat-head saw the perfect opportunity. His entire body suddenly spiraled and shot forward, aiming straight for Hidan's back.
But Hidan, at the crucial moment, seemed to have eyes behind his head. Not only did he perfectly dodge the piercing attack, but he also swung his Bloody March Scythe as if embracing the moon.
A missed strike from the rat-head.
He immediately bounced off the ground and lunged again at Hidan's face.
This was a double attack!
The rat-head saw clearly—his attack trajectory would land on Hidan's waist, which was not fatal.
But his claws would almost simultaneously pierce through the human's head.
And at that moment, he saw a mocking smile appear on the human's face?
Hidan relaxed his body, letting himself fall back, while activating the[Evil God Mark]on the rat-head.
"What does that mean? Do you think that can make you avoid it?"
"Idiot!"
"Idiot!"
Both of them showed the same expression, then time resumed its normal flow.
Puff!
Boom!
Immediately, dust filled the air.
Hidan fell to the ground, his weapon vanished, but a wild, joyful smile was on his face.
"Hahaha!"
Looking a bit farther away, the rat-head was pinned to the ground by the Bloody March Scythe, as if smashed apart.
[Slaughter Hero] had increased Hidan's strength by 370%!
[Evil God Mark] triggered a 4x damage increase!
What is the terrifying power after multiplying these two effects?
At this moment, the rat-head's eyes showed a few traces of fear.
His miserable appearance was caused by the human just now throwing his weapon away. When struck, his entire body lost sensation, as if it was no longer his own!
