As Kore used the Analysis skill on a monster for the first time, he had no way of comparing them, but the first thing that caught his eye was that it was an uncommon monster. He first associated it with the rating system of the video games of his old world. Uncommon was pretty weak and easy to find, but he knew he couldn't underestimate it. He didn't know where his previous enemies were ranked, but he himself wasn't strong either. He may have the ability to increase his stats by who knows how much, but right now they are still low. Meaning, if the monster before him was weak in terms of this dungeon, it might be the same strength as him or even stronger.
The second thing that caught his eye was the warning the system gave him. When the arms got lauched at him, they did so at a great speed, but when one of the arms tried to attack him, it wasn't really strong. Of course, he didn't get hit directly, but there was something else he wondered might be the case. For someone to punch someone strongly, they need to use their whole body. If there was only one arm, it would be quite weak. That meant his thought was confirmed that the monster before him was no ranged attacker but a melee one.
The bear jumped back a bit with its eight arm-legs and launched another arm at Kore. He didn t have much time dodging the attack as he wasn t fast enough for that at this distance, but as he held his knife near his face to cover himself for an attack, he was able to just hold out his knife and let the arm fly directly at it. At least that was what he wanted to do, but the arm was just too flexible. It quickly grabbed the knife's tip with two of its fingers and swung past it, landing directly on Kore's hair.It started stabbing its nails in his head as he started bleeding. At the same time, the bear started running at him with its other arms made into fists.

His health quickly decreased as the arm on his head started going wild on his head. If he tried to kill the arm on his head, the monster bear would try to attack him while Kore´s hands were focused on the arm. If he attacked the monster, the arm would probably kill him before he could finish it. That´s why his thoughts led to the only avaiable option. Fall back a bit, destroy the arm and then attack the monster as the arm wouldn´t need so long to deal with anyways. At least that was what he thought he could do. When he tried moving backwards, he couldn´t. This was because of an orange arm stabbing his foot in the ground. It was the same orange arm that he let fly over him. He thought it might try it´s best to come back to Kore as soon as possible but he didn´t know it was this fast, as the speed of it getting thrown at him was incredible, he thought it landed pretty far away from him. Far enough for him to land the finishing blow on the monster as that would have probably killed the arm too. He knew that because the System didn´t count the arm as an individual monster, as he didn´t get any Xp from killing it. Meaning the arms were connected to the bear and he probably controlled them.
Being in the situation Kore was in right now, he had only one option. He positioned his arms in front of his face as he was about to get hit by the monster. The monster ran at him and was about to punch him with two of its four arms on one of its sides. One landed on Kore's arms, which were in front of his face, and the other one landed in his stomach, making him fly back due to the impact. His HP went down a lot as he landed on his back on the ground.

But there was something else that caught his eyes when looking at the ceiling from below.
[The egg got hurt quite a bit from the knockback].
[It is getting fired up for a fight]
[95% hatching completed]
He was lucky it didn´t break in his backpack as he put some towels and other things around it to keep it safe in the dungeon. He still had no idea what would happen if it does but he didn´t want to try it. Still there was another thing he noticed. When getting kicked back both the arms of the monster on his body got kicked away and weren´t moving. Maybe they got knocked out or something like that if it was possible for arms to do that but Kore just knew he had the chance to actually fight now. He was sure the monster wouldn´t want to lose more arms and it couldn´t use the ones it uses as it´s legs as it was just barely enough for it to lift itself. With that being thought by Kore, he figured out it´s weakness.
Kore stood up with wounds all over his body and his knife, luckily still in his hand, which might be broken right now. Still, he had to defeat the monster in front of him. That's why he tried to run as fast as possible at the monster with a hole in his foot, while keeping his body low so he could try to attack its legs.
When getting close, the monster tried to hit down on Kore with all four of its arm-arms, but he evaded it by rolling forward and was now right before its legs. He swung his knife at the leg, only to realize it wasn't moving.That is because his arm was held by one of the leg-arms. It started piercing its nails into his arm once again, and Kore let out a silent scream of pain. "Argh!"
[Hp: 4/14]
He took the knife with his left hand and slashed the arm, holding it. After that, he slashed another arm and noticed the bear losing its balance. It was just about to hit Kore and probably deal the finishing blow when he slashed another leg and it fell forward. Kore rolled sidewards to not get hit by the falling bear and now just had to start stabbing it until it died.
