"Haa... Haa... Haa..."
With a gasp, Litch looked at the remaining rabbits without letting himself rest. He had just killed one Angry Rabbit, but there were four others. And those four were looking at him fiercely, angry for killing their mate.
'Really. This is going to be more complicated than I first thought,' Litch thought bitterly and raised his spear again.
Although he was tired, he could surprisingly feel his body becoming more energetic and stronger. The reason was not difficult to guess.
'It was because I leveled up. Because of that, I must have regained some of my health as well.'
With the Spearman class, his endurance and strength stats must have increased by 1 each, and his health must have increased as a consequence. But, now he had no time to check his status window.
Litch moved into position quickly, as soon as he saw the four rabbits running towards him.
Puhat!
The rabbits narrowed the distance quickly with their thick, muscular thighs. Litch wanted to step back and launch an attack, but two rabbits were already in front of him.
'They are too fast!'
The two rabbits launched their fists at the shocked Litch.
Kwa Kwang!
[You have received 1 damage.]
Litch avoided one of the blows, but the other he had to block with the shaft of his spear. But the force behind the rabbits' fists was enormous and he was pushed back.
'Not only fast, but also strong?'
He took a deep breath
He saw now that it would be extremely difficult to face these four rabbits. He himself only managed to kill the last one because he caught it by surprise, but now he had to face four at once.
'For now...'
Litch raised his spear and stepped forward.
'I must eliminate these two quickly!'
He came within a few steps of the rabbits and aimed several blows at them.
Kwajak!
Kwajajajak!
[You dealt 5 damage to the target.]
[You dealt 4 damage to the target.]
[You dealt 6 damage to the target.]
Although the rabbits were very fast, even they could not avoid the attacks directed at their sides from Litch. He planned to kill the rabbits with little damage, but with consecutive attacks.
Kwajaaak! Clang!
Whenever the rabbits tried to run away, Litch's spear cut them down and gave them no opportunity to retreat
[Angry Rabbit]
[Health: 4/20]
[Angry Rabbit]
[Health: 10/23]
Litch looked at the health of both of them and sketched a smile.
'Just one more hit each and I'll...'
Suddenly, he interrupted his train of thought and quickly stepped backward.
".....?!"
He wasn't quick enough, however. The two other rabbits he had forgotten about attacked him from both sides.
Pak!
Pook!
[You have received 10 damage.]
[You have received 12 damage.]
"Cough! Kuaaaak...!" Litch spat out a bit of blood. He was sure that several bones in his body were broken by those attacks. He bit his lips hard making them bleed and gritted his teeth with wide eyes.
'I want to scream. My body hurts. I don't want to move.
Damn it...
He wanted it all, but if he didn't move, he was going to die. Taking a step forward, he gritted his teeth and moved his broken body.
'Just one more!'
If he stopped at this point or tried to retreat, the chance of him actually getting away was close to zero.
He kicked the ground and quickly approached the two rabbits covered in wounds. The other two tried to stop him, but before they could, his spear was already aimed at one of the rabbits.
Peeeeong!
[You dealt 20 damage to the target.]
[You killed an Angry Rabbit!]
[You gained 2 experience points.]
With the spear stuck in the rabbit's head, Litch swung it to the left, interlinking an attack on the other rabbit.
Chaeeng!
[You dealt 12 damage to the target.]
[You killed a Furious Rabbit!]
[You gained 3 experience points.]
Blue light bathed your body.
[You leveled up!]
Before he could feel the changes brought about by leveling up, another rabbit appeared right under his nose, and another on his back.
Going against the situation he was in, Litch closed his eyes.
'It's certainly a situation to worry about. If I get hit, there's no chance of survival. I know that, but...'
But, why am I getting excited?
The pain was attacking him, but a smile revealing its teeth was forming on his face. Both his arms had broken bones from being hit by the rabbits and were bleeding, but he forced them to move.
Puhok!
He thrust his spear back, hitting the rabbit on its back in the head with the spear shaft. At the same time, the shaft of the spear ricocheted as it collided with the rabbit's forehead, and Litch took advantage of the momentum to attack the rabbit in front.
Kwajak!
[Critical!]
[You dealt 40 damage to the target.]
[You killed a Furious Rabbit!]
[You gained 2 experience points.]
With the spear stuck in the rabbit's head, Litch swung it to the left linking one attack to the other rabbit.
The spear pierced the rabbit's head and it fell dead to the ground. Soon after, it spun in an arc toward the rabbit from behind, giving it no time to dodge.
Chaeeeng!
[You dealt 12 damage to the target.]
The rabbit that was wounded in the left shoulder, tried to escape with a backward jump, but something pinned its leg to the ground. It was Litch's foot stepping on its leg.
-Kyu?
The rabbit raised his head. What he found were two eyes looking like a deep well that absorbed all the light, and a fierce smile.
-Kyu! Kyuuuuuu...!
The rabbit tried desperately to move its leg, but it's trapped leg would not move.
"Do you want to run away?"
At that moment, an amused voice sounded in its long ears. At the same time, the sharp blade of a spear appeared beside its neck.
-Kyuuu! Kyuuuuuuu!!!!
Jeong!
Litch moved his spear and the rabbit's head flew into the air splashing an uncontrollable amount of blood.
[You killed an Angry Rabbit!]
[You gained 1 experience point.]
"Kukuhu. I never heard that playing would be so difficult..." Litch fell to the ground with a smile on his face. He couldn't move even his finger, his body besides being bruised was exhausted and his vision was blurred and covered in blood.
'...Damn, if I continue here, other rabbits may appear. But, I can't move an inch of my body.'
He managed to kill five rabbits and escaped death, but would he succumb at this moment?
He didn't want to fall now. Litch put strength into his legs and tried to stand up.
"...Move! Damn it, move!"
Litch gritted his teeth and forced his legs to move.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
A trail of blood accompanied his steps.
'Quick!'
He moved.
'Euk! Heck! Hat...! Hat...!"
One step at a time, he eventually moved away from the hunting ground. Even after leaving the hunting ground, he continued to move. He felt the stares people gave him as they watched him walking covered in blood, but he didn't care and kept walking - his direction was the training camp!
He didn't have a home in this world yet, the only place he could go was the training camp.
"Heok, heok! Humnph! Keok!"
He walked on, forcing his exhausted body to move.
Soon, he came to a place with a familiar sign hanging in front. He opened the gates and threw himself inside.
"Heok... Pant... Pant..."
"Uhm? Little girl? You came back a little faster than the others-" Ashard who was still on the bench saw him out of the corner of his eyes, suddenly stopped his speech, and widened his eyes. Seeing Litch's condition, he quickly jumped towards him.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"I-I..."
"Okay. Don't talk."
Ashard supported Litch and inspected his body with a quick glance.
'There are fractures everywhere. How could any rookie move with so many wounds on his body? This kid...'
"Tsk. Drink this." Ashard clicked his tongue and pulled a glass bottle with a strange greenish liquid inside from the countertop and handed it to Litch.
Litch's vision was still blurred and he was dizzy, but he grabbed the glass bottle and swallowed the contents inside.
Suddenly a green light covered his entire body and his wounds began to recover at an unbelievable speed.
[You have recovered 50 health.]
