The Rat King's series of attacks seemed unending as it frenziedly clawed and pounced on Hugh. Trying to rip him to shreds. Smashing down into the ground.
Despite the intense beating, Hugh managed to stay conscious and endure the pain. He didn't know for how long the assault had been going on, nor for how much longer the Rat King would continue to attack him. But for every minute the Rat King spent venting its rage on his body, his Janitors got one more minute to escape.
It was a far-reaching hope, but it helped Hugh keep resisting the Rat King's attacks.
Unfortunately, as soon as the Rat King pulled out all stops, Hugh lost the ability to resist, and before long, his consciousness started slipping. His body relaxed and was about to release the fetal position he had curled up in to protect his head and face.
