The Rat King sensed Hugh and his, in comparison to everything else on the plane, body filled with mana and rich vitality. Despite not even seeing the dust cloud that followed the Rat King, Hugh felt a chill run down his spine when the King looked in his direction. For some reason, Hugh instinctively knew that the Rat King was targeting him. Whether it was the weight of the gaze locked on to him or something else was irrelevant.
When up against the Rat King, it would be better to accept the instinct as truth instead of disregarding it and luring the Rat King to his squad. While the Forest Janitors had excellent teamwork and would frequently subdue enemies with greater individual strength than themselves, they wouldn't get the chance to properly prepare against the Rat King, an enemy described as making numbers meaningless, regardless of whatever type of teamwork was used.
