The swarm of rats targeting Toz had turned into a figurative sea. It looked almost like a vortex with Toz in the center, consistently swinging his sword, casting magic with his cats. None of them holding back. If they didn't go all out now, they wouldn't have a chance to do so later either.
Mindle acted like a flamethrower. Nil created and sent out various armaments and pieces of metal to block their advance. Lucy kept covering large parts of the sea of rats in shadows, distorting their senses and creating waves in their movement. Lucy held back and distracted a large part of the rats alone, alleviating a great deal of the pressure on them.
Despite the dire situation, Toz and his cats pressed on, showing no signs of faltering or giving up, only leaving a trail of cut and charred rat corpses.
