I'm really not a dragon.

There are limits to a mouse's abilities.

Big Tooth learned one thing from his short rat life: the more cunning you are, the more unexpected problems will arise, unless you surpass the rats themselves.

At the familiar sewer opening, the rats swarmed around.

With its tail severed, Black Fur stared at the returned Big Tooth, its eyes filled with unspeakable anger and fear. "Why...why did you come back?!"

Why did you come back?

Da Ya thought a lot about this issue.

Because the Dragon Lord needs help.

Because the sewers have the largest number of the smartest and most capable mice.

Because it is no longer the large tooth it once was; the power bestowed by the Dragon Lord flows in its veins, shining like the evening stars.

"Because I, the little mouse, have encountered the strongest, most powerful, and most domineering being!"

Black Hair squeaked shrilly, "Wang Qiangda, you...die!"

"Leave, live, stay, die!" The man with the broken tail trembled uncontrollably.

On Big Tooth, it sensed the aura of a top predator, a ferocious, ancient aura that seemed to awaken the fear in the genes of every rodent.

The rats vaguely sensed that Big Tooth had changed.

For a time, apart from the one with the broken tail and the black fur, no other mouse dared to approach rashly.

Big Tooth was very disappointed.

"You are no match for me. Let the Rat King come to me!"

The mice looked at each other, then silently retreated into the darkness.

A moment later, a dizzying, eerie light flickered deep within the sewers.

A swarm of slender-headed rats, like locusts, rushed out, their glowing brains trembling in the air.

The distorted, eerie light flickered as if it were breathing.

The Rat King lay on top of the group of head rats, lazily swaying its tail.

"Big Tooth, you dare to come back! What gave you the courage to face me again?!"

"Because the great Dragon Lord needs the swarm of rats!"

"Are you provoking me? Only a king can rule a swarm of rats, squeak! Who is this dragon lord, you lowly rat?"

The Rat King screamed angrily.

provocative?

Big Tooth didn't think so; being able to be the Dragon Lord's rat was the greatest honor!

On the contrary, it was the Rat King's question that surprised Big Tooth.

"How dare you threaten the Dragon Lord! My lord is in the south, I will make you die facing north!"

The Rat King laughed in extreme anger.

"Let's see who dies!"

The rats instinctively formed a circle, watching the two rats inside with anticipation. This was a battle of kings; the old king would die, and a new king would rise! There was absolutely no possibility of coexistence!

"Little mouse, remember this: get into fighting shape before you start!" The dwarf's words still echoed in my ears.

Big Tooth didn't understand what "state" meant.

But it observed that many humans would drink a certain potion before fighting.

So it stole half a vial of medicine from the pocket of a sleeping human law enforcement officer.

Now, this will come in handy!

"The Ox's Brute Strength Potion! It seems you're no ordinary rat anymore!"

It's just a magic potion; the Rat King has that too.

It waved its paw, and a group of skull rats held up orange-red potions and offered them to the rat king's mouth.

After drinking the potion, the Rat King's muscles swelled into the shape of a bullfrog due to the potion's magical effects, making him the largest rat in the swarm.

It slowly and clumsily straightened its body, its tail lashing the ground heavily, displaying its power in a boastful manner.

"Strength is the reason to be king!"

The rats reveled; the Rat King remained as powerful as ever, unstoppable. What could mere Big Tooth possibly compare to the Rat King!

"Tremble before my power!" the Rat King squeaked.

The clumsy body instantly left a blur, and with a push from its hind legs, the Rat King leaped high into the air!

The king descended from the sky, his face contorted with rage and ferocity!

Big Tooth stared into the air, his beast-like pupils suddenly contracting, revealing confusion and bewilderment, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Meow!"

A beautiful, platinum-gold creature intercepted the angry Rat King in mid-air.

It landed gracefully on the ground, every single hair on its body radiating the benevolent light of a higher realm.

The Rat King's neck and above had disappeared into the big cat's mouth, and his body was convulsing from pain and suffocation.

"Meow, it doesn't taste good!"

The cat chewed twice and spat out the headless corpse of the Skull Rat King.

The mice present were stunned—the king had died.

It wasn't until the big cat walked towards them that the mice belatedly realized what was happening and squeaked and ran away.

Among the rats, the happiest were Black Fur and Broken Tail. With the king gone, perhaps their previous punishments could be wiped clean.

The two mice exchanged a glance, then grabbed the large teeth from one behind and dragged it into the darkness.

"squeak!"

"Run, Big Tooth, quick!"

Big Tooth stood firm and unmoving, raising its tail to protect the mice behind it.

"You all go! I'll hold it off!"

The two mice were dumbfounded.

"Big Tooth, you!"

"That's a cat!"

That wasn't an ordinary cat; it was a cat from a higher, benevolent dimension.

The benevolent aura emanating from it, belonging to a higher plane, has an extraordinary deterrent effect on the inherently evil creatures like the Skull Rat.

"I'm so sorry, Black Fur, and Broken Tail! This time, I won't abandon you!"

"Moreover, the Dragon Lord has already bestowed upon me extraordinary power!"

Out of fear, Big Tooth once betrayed the other hamsters.

After obtaining the dragon vein, the mouse, whose intelligence had greatly increased, began to reflect on its previous behavior.

Some things are more precious than life itself, and worth defending with one's life.

The mouse didn't understand what that thing was, but it vaguely felt that at this very moment, that thing was right in front of it!

Big Tooth went against the flow of rats, his tiny figure appearing so lonely, yet so determined.

"Meow, instead of running away, it's walking towards me?"

The big cat couldn't help but take a second look at Big Teeth.

Despite being despicable and evil creatures, ugly rats, they displayed rare courage for their companions.

Since that's the case, Quixote the Rat, charging towards the invincible, I acknowledge your will!

Let me send you to meet your Rat King! Meow!

The big cat leaped into the air, its fluffy fur dancing wildly in the wind like a white firework. This ball of fire landed on the ground, revealing sharp claws and teeth as it tumbled and twisted.

Big Tooth used all his strength to dodge the big cat's slaps and bites.

The strong wind blew, disrupting the mouse's thoughts.

In a trance,

The barbarian's words still echoed in my ears.

"Little mouse, when you fight, praise your ancestors, and they will protect you!"

The mouse doesn't know what its ancestors were; it only knows the Dragon Lord.

In that case, let's just praise the Dragon Lord!

By the Dragon Lord!

May the little mouse live to see you again!

Sharp claws sliced ​​across the scales on the mouse's neck, creating a blinding spark.

Suddenly, the mouse had a flash of inspiration. It grabbed the big cat's empty paw and, using the momentum and the power of the dragon vein, dragged the big cat with its big teeth and completed a perfect over-the-shoulder throw.

boom!

"Meow?"

The cat crashed heavily to the ground, dazed and confused, as if it had triggered a forbidden switch. The celestial cat gradually dissipated into silvery-white specks of light.

"Damn it! Meow, you rat, you only got lucky!"

The cat was furious and resentful because it was summoned from a higher plane, and its summoned body would dissipate after being severely injured.

If it were its own body, it would never have been defeated by a mere rat.

I'm so unwilling to accept this! Meow!

Big Tooth stared at his claws in disbelief, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

It actually defeated the nemesis of mice, the cat!

Is this the blessing of praising the Dragon Lord?

Countless mice emerged from the dark sewers, bowing and worshipping the large teeth.

"Big Tooth, King, Big Tooth, King..."

The law enforcement officer, who had been watching the show from a corner, rubbed his eyes.

"Am I still asleep?!"

Another law enforcement officer shuddered. "I had that feeling too! It's unbelievable to see a mouse defeat a cat!"

"These are no ordinary rats; we must strike hard."

"Yes, yes, summon more cats!"
