Niken managed to trick the rat monster by moving quickly while slicing the beast with her dagger.
Niken ran to behind the beast while jumping over the creature's tail to avoid its attack. After that, she slid down the rat's body with her dagger's pointed tip scratched on the rat's belly.
'Growwwwwlll!'
A groan of pain mingled with anger came from the rat beast. Before the creature realized Niken's actual position, Niken had moved back to another place.
However, Niken underestimated the ferocity of an enraged beast. Niken never thought that the rat beast would spin its body and tail like a windmill.
Its long and thick tail hit Niken's back, causing the girl to knocked off and hit a tree.
Niken felt unbearable pain, and her blood rushed, gathering inside her brain, affecting her vision. Instantly, her concentration shattered, breaking her indigo magic circle.
