Synopsis

The chapter begins with observations on the Naga's power level and then shifts to the rat-like creatures, who are initially focused on digging and avoiding being eaten. Tretch, initially seen as a cowardly digger, finds a marble that promises power, inspiring a rebellion against their subjugation. The rats, empowered by the promise of the marble, attempt a risky maneuver to reach the labyrinth core, showcasing their desperation and newfound ambition. A human observer analyzes the situation, noting the rats' inferior strength and the drop in enemy morale after the leader's actions, concluding the labyrinth won't be a major threat.
