"You forced my hand."
Given the situation, Demon had no path left but to play his trump card, unless he was willing to abandon his original plan.
But that was obviously impossible. On one hand, there was the bigger picture. On the other, Demon could not afford that humiliation. Being defeated by natives without King of Abilities getting involved? If word got out, Chthon and the others would laugh themselves to death.
Therefore, Demon did not waste any words and directly revealed his trump card—the greatsword Chthon had given him.
The moment the crimson greatsword left its sheath, the terrifying stench of blood sent the surrounding rats scurrying in every direction. They no longer even obeyed Second Generation Rat Catcher's commands.
There were many of these rats, but they were still ordinary rats. It was perfectly normal for them to be timid.
"The rats are afraid. That sword is terrifying."
Second Generation Rat Catcher hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, be careful! I can't control the rats anymore. They're going to run away!"
As Second Generation Rat Catcher spoke, the rats retreated like a tide. However, how could Demon, burning with fury, possibly let them leave?
"Stay right where you are."
Demon roared, and the greatsword blazed with red light. Then, the red light rapidly expanded, wrapping all the fleeing rats like a crimson curtain. Miserable shrieks soon rang out from beneath it.
After a while, the red curtain drew back. Every rat had turned into a dried corpse, a horrifying sight.
In truth, that was only the surface of it. That crimson curtain had devoured the rats' souls as well.
Not only did the Suicide Squad gasp sharply, even the Ability Users stood dumbfounded. Aside from shock, their gazes toward Demon carried fear and estrangement.
