As he laid eyes on the Red Hobo with a significantly higher level, Zero halted his impending attack and swiftly sought cover, ensuring he remained unseen.
"Man, his level is higher than mine, and he possesses a skill that boosts his attack power," Zero remarked to himself. "Sigh, while I can easily handle other Hobos, defeating this Red Hobo will be a challenging task." Taking a deep breath, he managed to steady his nerves, all the while observing that the Hobo remained oblivious to his presence. A sense of relief washed over him, and he muttered, "Okay, let's see if I can find an opening when they lower their guard." With cautious determination, he cautiously shadowed their movements.

Zero noticed that the Hobos were starting to relax, their guard dropping ever so slightly.
"Now's my chance to strike," Zero whispered, tightening his grip on his sword. In a swift and forceful motion, he lunged at them, delivering a heavy swing that led to the defeat of three Normal Level Hobos.
Red Hobo seethed with rage as he witnessed the brutal defeat of his comrades. His sharp claws unsheathed, he retaliated with an intense fury, launching a series of rapid strikes at Zero. The sheer speed of Red Hobo's attacks was enough to capture Zero's attention, making it challenging to predict each blow.
Zero's instincts kicked in, and he swiftly attempted to evade the incoming onslaught. However, Red Hobo's relentless speed overwhelmed him, making it difficult to dodge every strike. Despite his efforts to avoid the worst of it, a sharp claw grazed his left shoulder, inflicting a slight injury from the Hobo's vicious assault.
Zero tightened his grip on his sword and charged at the Hobo with lightning speed. In response, Red Hobo unsheathed his claws and launched a fierce attack at Zero.
The clash of their weapons created a powerful impact, but Red Hobo's heavy strike proved to be overwhelming, pushing Zero back and causing him to sustain some injuries. A trickle of blood escaped from Zero's mouth as he tried to regain his composure.
Determined not to be defeated, Zero wiped the blood from his mouth with his hand and activated his skill, Rage. Red Hobo, seemingly confident, started laughing mockingly at Zero, "kekhae."
Unfazed, Zero retorted, "What an ugly laugh." With his skill now active, he unleashed a rapid and focused assault on Red Hobo.
As Red Hobo raised his claw to defend himself, Zero's strength allowed him to push Red Hobo slightly off balance, creating a brief opening in the Hobo's defenses. Seizing the opportunity, Zero continued his attack, exploiting the momentary vulnerability.
Zero swiftly launched another full-force attack, channeling all his strength into the strike. "Let's go!" he shouted as he landed the blow on Red Hobo's body.
The impact sent Red Hobo hurtling through the air, crashing violently into a nearby tree due to the force of Zero's attack. Despite the intense hit, Zero noticed with surprise that the Hobo was still alive.
As Zero readied himself for the next move, he noticed Red Hobo slowly rising from the ground, determination burning in his eyes. At the same time, Zero was struggling to remain on his feet due to his low health.
Zero's health had significantly depleted from the excessive use of the Rage Skill. Red Hobo, while also sustaining damage, hadn't suffered as much as Zero.
Seizing the opportunity while Zero was weak, Red Hobo launched another attack. Despite his own injuries, Red Hobo activated his formidable skill, Iron Slice, ready to strike at any moment.
Worried about his dwindling health, Zero eyed Red Hobo, who appeared poised to attack. "I need to use that," Zero thought to himself.
With Red Hobo closing the distance, Zero quickly accessed his inventory and exclaimed, "Use Status Recovery!"
He had obtained this item by completing the daily quest earlier.

As the Red Hobo's attack came perilously close to Zero, he swiftly dodged the impending strike and immediately activated his powerful skill, Rage. Seizing the opportune moment after evading the attack, Zero unleashed a devastating counter-assault on the airborne Hobo.
In a swift and skillful motion, Zero sliced off Red Hobo's head, bringing the formidable enemy to a decisive end. As the lifeless body of the Hobo fell, a notification window appeared.

Upon seeing the notification window, he immediately sprang into action, determined not to waste any time in finding the Red Hobo. "I can't waste any time, let's move!" he told himself, urgency in his steps.
While in search of the Red Hobo, he unexpectedly came across another monstrous creature. Assuming it was another Hobo, he quickly took cover behind a nearby object and activated his Skill Observe to gather crucial information.

Upon reviewing the Hob Goblin's status, he realized that this creature was even stronger than the Red Hobo he had just defeated, and it had an undisclosed Rank, indicating its formidable prowess.
Feeling outmatched and cautious of the unknown threat, he slowly backed away, whispering to himself, "Man, this Hob Goblin is stronger than the Red Hobo, and it seems to have a rank too." He knew he had to retreat swiftly, muttering, "I need to get out of here before it notices me."
Ensuring he didn't make any noise to draw the Hob Goblin's attention, he skillfully withdrew from the area, leaving the dangerous creature undisturbed.
After some time had passed.

As he continued his search, a hint of worry crossed his mind, "I hope I didn't venture too deep into the forest."
Suddenly, he spotted a lone Hobo, and his instincts told him that it might be part of a larger group. Without hesitation, he swiftly engaged them, taking down four Hobos, including a Red Hobo.
