Yuki planned to extract the one thing that kept his enemies alive.
Yuki was no longer getting exhausted from the battle as he did not need to create flames using his ability in exchange for his stamina. The essence for all things in the new world to survive was stamina. It acted like an energy system in exchange for being used to attack, defend, run, or use an ability, it would consume a certain amount of stamina from the player. As a solo player in a dungeon full of enemies he could not defeat without pushing himself to the brink of death each and every time, Yuki had to exhaust a lot of stamina all the time.
Even with the use of potions, it would drain away quickly when he was faced with a strong enemy. As such, he had to come up with creative and efficient ways on the spot to survive. As he had done previously, Yuki had succeeded in finding a way to survive and move on with the stages.
