They moved in groups, the dark and pink rats interestingly moving in separate groups, yet close enough for me to fire in their general direction and hit them just fine.
The first few rats stopped approaching when struck, but the arrow gun had only so many arrows.
I conjured up the next one in my left hand when I was nearly out of arrows, to switch between them effortlessly.
"Give me an arrow gun as well," Henry said when the first ones lunged at the shield.
I conjured one for him and handed it over while continuing to fire.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I have the shield under control." He accurately started firing at the rats latched onto the shield, so I didn't have to shoot into the crowd anymore either, now that the target had come this close.
The shield was about three meters wide and high, exactly as we had seen in my vision, so they were dangerously close to us while trying to claw and climb the sphere.
