After that, I took another four horned rabbit. Even though, It was just about eight hits to the monster. Even so, it was enough to made me felt fatigued.
" Yeah… No… Good. No good."
To think, I would be tired out by just evading attack and swinging my dagger at the horned rabbit. I sat down on the dungeon ground. It could because my base strength was just 10 points. So my stamina was not that high. Also, I brought a sword on my back too.
I didn't have something you called a magic item like an inventory bag. Maybe, I need to buy something like that. But, I felt that it could be an expensive one.
The thing I did was quite repetitive, too, and the concentration of focusing on seeing the attack from the horned rabbit took a bit of a toll on my brain. But because of that, after I fought five horned rabbits, and never any of their attacks hit me.
I took out the bread I bought before I came to the Guilds. It was pretty hard bread, but a cheap one. I cut the bread and eat it while drinking some water from the canteen. It was a nice rest and for me to gather some will to take another horned rabbit.
But I thought it would be another boring and repetitive one. Maybe I tried to experiment with something that had been on my mind for a while.
My gaze was directed toward a horned rabbit. Just as always on this floor, it was always alone without a group. I heard that the monster started to form a group on the higher level and their level was also stronger.
For the last five, I defeated the horned rabbit in the same ways. Evaded the attack and slashed the horned rabbit after they jumped at me. After they attacked, usually, they needed time to position their body to attack me again. At that time, I usually attacked them. It was the safest way to defeat the horned rabbit.
I could see their weak status, but I was still afraid of seeing their bighorn trying to stab me. I didn't know the damage worked in this world. Also, the HP, I had just about 20 points. It was so low that I was afraid I could die from several attacks by this horned rabbit.
If the damage was strength - endurance, the damage from the horned rabbit would be just - 1 per attack which means I could die by 20 attacks from the horned rabbit. If you think like that, You could feel how weak you were. But, maybe there was a good thing to know more about the system in this game-like world.
This time, after I evaded the attack from the horned rabbit. I didn't attack once this time, and I slashed it twice at the same time. It was like a double slash.
[ Hit - 8]
[ Hit - 6]
"Ah…"
When I saw the second number was decreasing. I was aware that my second slashed was not in full strength. That's why my damage was relatively weak for a second slash. And the double slashed didn't kill the horned rabbit that was still alive with just 1 / 15 HP.
So I needed another slashed before I defeated the horned rabbit. I also found out that doing the double slashed was quite tiring than the usual slashed for this experiment.
"That attack was good if I could defeat the monster with just one attack."
I took the small horn and one small magic stone, the size of the magic stone as big as a small candy. This was the second magic stone I got from my calculation. The drop of magic stone of the horned rabbit was one magic stone per three-horned rabbit I killed.
It was not bad, but I didn't get anything other than a small horn from a horned rabbit. I kinda hoped to get something other than a small horn after I killed six horned rabbits.
This time I put my dagger and took out my dull sword. Even though my sword was called a dull sword, it still caused more damage from my dagger. It would damage 2 more points. The sword itself was relatively heavier than the dagger. That was the reason I like daggers more than swords.
I was pretty lazy, and the sword made me lazier because they were heavy. But, I needed to know more about damage and how this world worked.
This time, I used a double slashed with my dull sword. Because I used it with the sword, it took more power than a dagger, but the damage was quite good.
[ Hit - 10 ]
[ Hit - 8 ]
It was still not total damage on the second slashed, but because I was using a sword. I successfully defeated a horned rabbit with just one attack. And that feeling was quite exhilarating. I felt pretty strong to beat something with one attack. It could be addictive.
That's why this time, I wanted to try something. I changed my form a little since I thought I would attack the horned rabbit with a thrust. As the horned rabbit jumped at me, I didn't try to evade this attack. I thrust my sword with the glowing red eyes of a horned rabbit as my primary target. My sword, in the end, was longer than the horn itself, and I was maybe quite lucky. Since my first ever thrust was piercing the eyes quite deep.
[ Critical Hit - 15 ]
The attack was a critical hit, and I killed the horned rabbit with just one attack. After seeing it, the horned rabbit body vanished into thin air and left another small horn alone.
I couldn't help but smirk. The feeling of one shooting the monster was enjoyable. I never thought I could feel something like this. My adrenaline was on top of my head.
When I found another horned rabbit, I immediately jumped at the horned rabbit. Right now, I took a different approach. The last time, in my mind, was to take the monster the safe way. This time, in my mind, there was only how to kill the horned rabbit as fun as I could be.
I swung the sword, and my sword clashed with the horn since I had more strength than the horned rabbit. The horned rabbit was tossed a little before falling to the ground. At that second, the horned rabbit stopped. I swung the sword with a big and powerful one. I didn't know, but after being defeated and observing the horned rabbit for a long time. I could feel something. It was just as intended. The power behind the swing was enough.
What tremendous power and speed.
The horned rabbit's head beautifully flew off. Smooth and quick. It was a masterpiece.
[ Critical Hit - 20 ]
It was the best amount of damage I got that day, and I felt satisfied. Since I got a small horn and one small magic stone.
"I did it…."
My heartbeat was pounding really hard. I needed to calm down. I could feel adrenaline start pumped into my system. I took a deep breath and sat down. I took my water canteen and drank some water before cutting another piece of bread, before dumping that bread into my mouth, and finishing it with another gulp of water.
"Fuu… Eating and drinking always make me calm down."
I didn't want to lie, but I always eat food or snacks when I feel stressed.
"That was crazy. I didn't know what happened to me… but too bad the body quickly vanished into the air. I still want to see the result of my best attack I ever had."
It was kinda like I entered another realm. My focus was tripled, and the speed around me became slower, and my movement became fast. It was such an extraordinary feeling. I wanted to feel it again.
At the same time, it was pretty dangerous since, at that time, the only thing I felt was how to kill enemies, and maybe at that time, I didn't feel anything about my safety.
My mind was full of killing mode.
"It was dangerous, but at the same time quite thrilling. but… after I took a rest… I started to feel tired. Hah… Did I just stop for the day? But, I wanted to stop after I gained one level up."
In the end, I chose to end this session of adventuring after I gained one level up. So I took another gulp of water and bread before standing up and hunting another monster.
Exp : 45 / 100
"Ah… I found another one."
It was kinda funny that I saw the horned rabbit as something precious since they would give me another easy experience. Just like before, I defeated the horned rabbit with my sword with double slashed.
[ Hit - 8]
[ Hit - 6]
Since it was the fastest and easy way to kill the horned rabbit.
"Hm… Oh, I got another thing other than a small horn."
Yup, after I defeated the horned rabbit for the tenth time, I didn't get a small horn as a drop item, but I got leg rabbit meat as a drop item.
