According to Kim Min-ho’s report, a monster called "Ratman" was inhabiting the basement of the apartment complex where the Kellican flock had nested.

As its name suggested, the creature resembled a rat in appearance, which led me to believe Seo Ye-jin’s ability might work on it.

[Their average level is estimated to be around 16.]

Considering that Seo Ye-jin’s tamed, evolved giant mice were only in the low level-10 range, this was a much higher starting point.

If we could tame them and add them to our forces, we’d gain a power boost of at least two or three levels. If we added zombification on top of that, their level would rise by another two stages.

‘Not bad!’

If they reached level 20 and were enhanced with Seo Ye-jin’s Enhance skill, they might even survive long enough to reach the Wolseong base.

[Additionally, there appears to be a monster acting as their leader.]

[A leader?]

[Yes. Since we haven’t hunted it yet, we don’t know its exact level, but judging by its size and the aura it exudes, it’s unlikely to be at a low level.]

[Can you describe it in more detail?]

[Certainly.]

According to Kim Min-ho, who had directly encountered it, the massive rat monster was about 5 meters tall, with an imposing and muscular physique.

‘If even Kim Min-ho found it intimidating…’

Ever since we prepared for the Vampire War, all the retainers had been trained to a minimum level of 45.

Moreover, they were all boosted with the three-star power of the stars. If Kim Min-ho’s team—trained to this level—felt threatened by the creature, it was likely at least close to their level.

‘It might even exceed level 40.’

Considering the Ratmen underlings were only in their mid-teens in level, it was unlikely the leader surpassed level 40. However, even exceeding level 30 would be significant.

‘If Seo Ye-jin can tame it, this crisis might be easier to resolve than I thought.’@@novelbin@@
