[center][h1][color=chocolate]Edward Marsh[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] Ed was right. There was enough force behind the swing to splatter the poor bug into kingdom come. Too bad one had the audacity to sacrifice itself to defend his target. Though the chunky remains of one scout was proof enough that if he did land the hit, he would have splattered the big one too with little issue. No matter. Ed would simply swing agai- An unimaginable and ungodly amount of pain surged through his nervous system. Causing the ratman to suddenly drop his over sized weapon and let out a pained grunt. The mandibles of the bug that bit him had cut deep; he could feel the warm life fluid leaking out of his wound freely down his leg. The adrenaline and anger surging through his body soon helped Ed ignore the ludicrous amount of pain he was experiencing. Numbing the sharp searing pain into a dull throbbing pain. Ed quickly turned his head and glared daggers at the bug still latched onto his ass cheek. If looks could kill, this bug was a fraction of a moment from being smashed into a blue chunky mud puddle in a small depression on the dirt. He clenched his hands into fists to the point that his own claws caused his arms to tremble from the sheer exertion of strength. The only thing that stopped him was the sudden attack and command Asteria had given him. After all, they were here to save Mother Rat. He quickly turned all his attention to the larger Myrminor and observed that the Myrminor Worker made a mistake. It decided that the elder dire rat was a priority target and began skittering towards her. Ignoring the young ratman that literally just splattered one of them in a single stroke a few seconds ago. [color=red][b]BIG GODDAMN[/b][/color] mistake. [color=chocolate]"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"[/color] Was all the young ratman could formulate in his mind as he went straight for the larger Myrminor. At the last moment, Ed lunged towards his foe with both arms raised above his head with hands balled into fists with a familiar killing intent as the skills he used earlier were reactivated once again. But this time there was no Myrminor Scout to come between it and Ed's wrath.
