'Shit! Is there meant to be a huge difference between a normal and boss beast, I can still manage to kill a tier 3 normal beast easily, but why would a tier 1 boss beast be making me feel so threatened.' Tang Zhan stood rooted to the ground the entity behind him calculating his move if he decides to make one, while he as well is calculating the best time to run.
'I have to make a run for it, there's nothing bad if I told lord Beavis I couldn't do it.' Tang Zhan thought as he tightened his legs and gripped the ground as hard as possible.
He takes a silent breath in and exhaled powerfully as he blasts off from his spot. He knew running was not a good choice, as he would need to at first pick up speed and he is sure the beast will catch up to him if he does that, so he leaped to the front and will use the momentum to continue running at full speed.
As he leaped to the front and was anticipating gravity to take control and bring him down, he suddenly felt a change in the air. The pressure he felt from behind was now before him and he finally see how exactly the beast looks like.
It was a rat as he remembered it to be from earth, but it wasn't just a regular random rat, but rather a rat that was big enough to rival his height when on all fours, and the one before him was moving on its hind legs alone, it was almost times two of his height.
Taking a huge gulp, Tang Zhan saw as the rat twisted it's body swinging it's whip like sectioned tail at him. He tries to manipulate his movement, but it is extremely difficult as he couldn't move his body properly almost like he forgot how to move.
'Now I know why they say you can't suddenly move in mid air.'
He couldn't move out in time and could only watch as the tail slams hard into his left ribs, a crack following right after as he is hit like a baseball into the trees.
He crashes and breaks through six trees before he finally stops on the seventh, as he falls to the ground with a piece of the tree that broke with his back.
"Keuk..." He pukes out blood as his eyes widen, he couldn't get his bearing as the world before him is currently spinning and all topsy turvy.
He shakes his head as he looks up to where the beast might be, but he instead get a knee slammed into his chest as he hits the tree creating a double impact.
Another mouthful of blood pours out his mouth as his eyes slowly turn drowsy. He ears are constantly ringing deep and loud.
The beast stops as it decides to look at his prey for a while, seeing as it's prey is currently lying dead the beast expression turns angry as it shrieks out in rage.
In anger it grabs Tang Zhan's head and bashed it on the rough forest ground. It raises him up again and bangs on the ground, this time more harder than the first. It raises him again and shrieks in his face, as if it was complaining to him about something as it bashes his head over and over again.
Tang Zhan could feel his skull start to crack and crush a little bit as all his brain juice swishing and roiling around trying to reduce the impact his brain is receiving.
'ng... ha, an... an, ang... han, Tang... Zhan, wake up... stand up... you have to come back home, to us... fight back... fight back... FIGHT.BACK!' Tang Zhan suddenly heard the voice of X in his mind, probably as all his brain juice is turbid perhaps it made him to hallucinate but he doesn't care as the voice that speaks in his head reinvigorates him, the panicked and stressed tone in X voice causes him agony more painful than the beating the beast is giving him.
The beast has left him but is rather hitting trees as it continuously shrieks, Tang Zhan sight that had been blurry right from the start is finally clearing up as he sees his system panel beside him, piles with numerous warning notifications he had been receiving ever since the fight began.
Looking at it he can see the most current one being his health, and conditions.

Putting a fist to the ground that now had a medium sized crater, Tang Zhan gritted his teeth as he gathered as much strength as possible, his veins were all popping on his skin as blood flowed down his chin through his gritted teeth.
He sight was still blurry so he opened his eyes to the maximum and even stretched further as the sides of his eyes started to tear, blood rolled down his eyes as he finally stands on his feets.
The raging rat beast notices that he is back on his feet as the rat calms down a little seeing as Tang Zhan is finally up.

"So you're about to breakthrough uhn, and fighting a strong opponent is meant to help you... Don't worry, I'll be your opponent"
The beast cocks his head sideways as it tries to understand Tang Zhan's word but it only seems to be concerned about the fact that Tang Zhan energy wave just became much more domineering.
The beast becomes all jittery as it runs toward the new arisen Tang Zhan. As the beast approaches him, Tang Zhan raises his hand as shadows pour out from it.
The shadows manifest into three shadowy figures, the first was the dealer to the purple shop, the second was 6% zombie, and the third was the 8% zombie that fell together with him from the helicopter.
All three of them stood before Tang Zhan as they faced the approaching beast.
Seeing newly added opponents the beast only got more happier and excited. As it rushes on all fours towards the group.
Tang Zhan opens his white eyes that is stained and tinted red with blood from his bleeding head. He points his right hand to the front as his scythe materializes into it, "attack."
With a loud whispered command, the shadows charged forth to meet the beast head on.
The 6% was the first to get there as he punches at the beast, the beast dodges to the side as it swatted his claw, tearing off the upper torso of the shadow leaving only two legs standing.
The beast was expecting to see blood spray out endlessly but nothing of the sort happened, rather the shadow began to reform as they gathered back on the legs.
The beast immediately got confused as it swats at the legs of the reforming shadow, not noticing the dealer shadow behind it as a heavy punch sinks into its skull.
The beast was thrown yo the ground as it rolled away from the dealer, it stood up but received an uppercut from the 8% shadow named Z2.
D1 and Z2 both launch attacks at the rat beast while Z1 reforms itself.
[Energy: 5,692/19,114.]
Tang Zhan looks at his energy and sees how much it drops just from a hit the beast gave to the shadow. 'So the stronger the attacker the more feedback it gives to me and the more energy it expends to reform... If three of them can't handle you, then how about four of us.'
Tang Zhan rushes forward as well with his scythe in hand as he searches for the right moment.
Suddenly the rat is hit by Z2 as it propels backwards but before it can hit the ground, it is caught by D1, who holds on to the tail and starts spinning.
Spinning fast enough the D1 releases it's hand as the rat beast is throw to the sturdy trees.
Choosing this as his chance, Tang Zhan runs towards another tree, as he puts a feet on it before he then jumps at the flying beast.
Slash!
The blade of the scythe sinks into the beast chest before slicing out through the side.
The beast collides with the tree and breaks it before falling to the ground. While Tang Zhan holds on to another tree as he looks at the tip of his scythe's blade.
'seems like I missed the heart a bit.'
The beast grabs its chest as it looks at Tang Zhan in fear and shock, it stumbles back as it wonders.
Tang Zhan slides down the tree as he approaches with his shadows, "sorry I missed just now, but I promise you I won't miss the next one, so... Shall we?"
