Jacob was the first one of their group to reach the beasts. These were the smallest beasts they had all fought so far. The bird-like creatures they had to kill before were almost four times the size. Jacob was a bit curious how much damage his punch would do. However, after colliding with the first lunging rat, its head exploded into a bloody pulp upon collision, painting Jacob and the surrounding area dark with blood. Jacob looked down at his fist with amazement.
"How much stronger have I become since I left the kingdom?!"
While he was lost in a daze, another rat lunged at his side. However, Maria kicked it away with her insane power. She looked at him with concern in her jade eyes.
"Don't get distracted. We're going to be fighting these things for a while."
