Dodge, Dodge, and More Dodge

Lizzy exerted a great amount of strength from her limbs and jumped to her left, just a second after was the loud booming sound of the Rat kings Lance piercing and breaking the floor, the powerful strength of the strike awed her and made her question if this rat was really agility oriented.

It was at this moment that Lizzy saw a thin black aura surrounding the Lance the rat was holding, she immediately focused on it in order to gain information about what she was actually fighting against.

"WHY THE F*CK!! DOES A RAT HAVE THAT!?!"

"Answer to the hosts inquiry, some monster species can pass on knowledge over to newer generations by gene locking the knowledge unto their DNA via magic, the rat king before the host is something that has inherited such knowledge by coming in contact with a gene strand carrying the information"

Whilst listening to the systems answer lizzy was frantically hopping and dodging the swift strikes of the rat king, on one strike she hopped a bit too late and was grazed just by the wind that the strike carried, this showed her that the systems strength identification can't always be trusted or at least she needed to expect a higher lethality for some scenarios.

Even with her tough skin that could render low caliber bullets useless, the Lance still made her bleed, more specifically it's wind. Lizzy began to brew up a plan since she didn't think that the method she used on the hitman could work.

"Wait, system what species does the dungeon core produce?"

"Host the dungeon core produces a random species of monster once it begins it's activation but a constant life supply or blood supply from a specific monster can result on the core producing monsters that originate from the blood supplies species"

"So if the rat king provides it with rat blood then rats become mass produced via the core instead of the usual reproduction?"

"Affirmative host"

"Tch so that's why he was turning the queen into a core, to complete the lance"

Lizzy kept on running around, she knew she couldn't easily beat it due to the properties of both the Lance and the rat, she decided to use her breath anyway by filling the room with flames as she dodged but she fired it at the rat king to make it not suspect her. The room slowly filled with flames whilst the rat king chased after her, amidst all of these, Lizzy was still brainstorming up a plan.

"tch at this rate I'm gonna run out of stamina... STAMINA!"

She achieves her eureka moment but this moment costed her another wound due to her suddenly slowing down, the pain brought her back to reality and she refocused herself on dodging.

"System if possible please display my stamina and the rat kings stamina" Two yellow bars then appear in front of Lizzy's vision, her stamina bar and one above the rat kings head which was it's stamina bar along with numeric representations and a simplified name.

[Rat King]

ST: 340/450

[Host]

ST: 670/800

"Yes i have much more stamina than him, let us begin draining its stamina and conserving mine"

Lizzy dodged the strike of the Lance in a lunging manner as she wanted to bite or whip it with her tail, the response of the rat king to this was backing away quite a distance and clearing the ground of the flames by tossing clumps of burning soil to the side, it seemed like the Lance wasn't affected by the flames.

"Good run away and around till your stamina drops!"

Lizzy began her counter attack and fired off a couple of breaths before stopping as to save up her stamina, she eyed her stamina after using her flames and proceeded to run and combat with the rat king, they even reached the roof surface

"I didn't notice that the flames actually costs 10 stamina per shot"

[Host]

ST: 590/800

[Rat King]

ST: 300/450

"AoEs are expensive! No spamming flames for now!"

Lizzy suddenly stepped on loose soil as she ran on the roof and began to fall on the ground filled with burning abyssal flames.

"Ah I'm dead..."
