Chapter 18: Mutant Lord appears!!
I saw the same flame torch at the corner of the apartment. It wasn't lit but still I felt that it must be the exit clue. I touched it and tried to bend it. It bent to the right
Creak
And a door opened at the back. I entered the door and once again found myself at the tunnel.
But this time, the tunnel had multiple changes. Before I began to notice those changes, I again heard the ferocious roar.
Roar…
I tried to hid myself at the corner where the light from the flame torch didn't reach and observed the tunnel in detail.
The tunnel didn't look same now. Before wherever I travelled, the tunnel looked the same but now I could see the differences. The tunnel looked like a natural passage inside a mountain or something. It wasn't an artificial tunnel. It more looked like a natural one. The occasional wind howling had also stopped but now there was the occasional roar.
Roar…
I followed the sound cautiously and after walking for a while, I saw a weird creature. It was about 10 times bigger than an elephant in size. Its head looked like a lion with a body of rhinoceros. It looked like a combination of a lion and a rhinoceros. It looked weird and strange rather than ferocious and terrifying.
HP:15,000/15,000
EP:1,000/1,000
It was the first level 20 monster I would be facing. I was nervous but while looking at is comical physical appearance, I felt my nervousness fading away.
I was hiding in the shadows and observing it with the
I was observing the beast when I heard a system announcement. But I didn't focus on it.
Ting…
Its body skin is like that of rhino, extremely thick. Its will is like that of a Lion, King of the jungle. It views all other as its prey and dinner.
Weakness: Lacks rhino features on its head. Lacks lion's sharp claws.

After looking at the beast and the additional skill bar, I knew that the

I observed for a while and tried to close the distance. I stopped closing in at a distance of 10 meters. I didn't know if it noticed me or not but I felt that it would notice me if I closed in more.
Roar
Ting
The roar shook me this time. I didn't know that it would affect me if I was closer. I was immobilized for next second. It wasn't that I was scared but the roar itself had something that stunned me. It must be its skill I thought. I changed my plan after being stunned.
I had wanted to rush at it after it roared but that plan clearly went down the drain now. I stopped myself and tried to think a new plan. Though I had higher stat, I didn't want to underestimate it and become its lunch. I would rather make it my lunch. I thought of stuffing something inside my ear to see if it would remove the effects of the roar.
I noticed that the roar not only stunned me for a second but it also blurred my mind. It took me another second to clear my mind. It was really dangerous to be stunned and the blurred in the middle of the battle.
I backed down a bit and tore my handkerchief and stuffed them inside my ear. I then moved towards my previous spot and waited to see the roaring effects.
Roar…
I was once again stunned but this time my mind wasn't blurred. So, it was a plus point.
I activated
When my senses were heightened, Lyro sensed something and stood up at its four legs. It looked around it with its ferocious eyes. Its eyes were really chilly and murderous contrast to its physical appearance. Its eyes made me remember that it was just like normal lion, king of the jungle despite its appearance. So, I didn't dare underestimate it.
Its eyes were like a scanner seeing through everything. Its gaze was moving around and finally it stopped at me.
Ops
I knew that I was discovered. It really had extraordinary sense. I came out of the dark spot and stared at its eyes directly. I wasn't scared neither I was intimidated. I stared at its directly and intently and started to walk toward it with a steady pace. The atmosphere began to tense and spark seemed to fly between us.
When the distance shortened to 5m, Lyro dashed towards me while roaring.
Fuck.
I knew I was fucked up next moment as I was stunned by its roar. I now knew that the closer I was to it, the more ferocious and scarier would its roar be.
I didn't know what to do at this moment. Lyro was rushing towards me with a look that said lunch.
The next 1.5 sec felt like eternity to me. I could see Lyro in slow motion but was helpless to do anything. I could only move my eyes and do nothing more.
Lyro neared me in an instant and
Bam
I was sent flying and I was plastered at the tunnel walls.
-500
Its damage was really high. I only had 1,310 HP right now and its one strike took down almost half of my health. I then realized that with its huge body and huge momentum, its force also wouldn't be small. I was able to move only after being plastered at the wall.
I shook myself and fell down at the floor along with the rubbles. I looked back at the wall and could see a cracked spot of my size. I gulped hard seeing it. I took a deep breath and became serious. I only knew that it wasn't a random mob but a special elite from a legend dungeon. I shouldn't face it half-serious. I needed to give my all.
But the stunning effect was really dangerous. It could stun me if I was near it and I didn't have many things in my arsenal for long range attacks. I only had the bow and the fireball. But even for fireball, I had to be at least 5m away from it.
I was thinking what to do when Lyro rushed toward me. It was grinning this time. Lyro was really happy. It had been so long since it had meat. Now it had the opportunity and it was even human flesh. I could see its intense desire and excitement at its eyes. I then realized that the situation was really turning grim. Next two attacks and I would be done.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself while increasing distance between us. I was faster than it so, it wasn't hard for me. I maintained a distance of 10 meters between us. I was thinking hard trying to find its weakness. There must be a counter for its roar.
I was focusing on the thinking so hard that I didn't even notice Lyro turning back. I only realized that Lyro was gone after a while. I then stopped and hid myself at the next dark spot.
I observed where I was and felt that the tunnel looked completely different. I realized a moment later why it looked different and why Lyro backed down. It didn't give up instead, it must have been scared to come here I thought.
I didn't know what to do. Should I go back or see what type of beast was here?
I waited for a while and decided to look for the beast that scared Lyro.
I opened

I didn't consume the potion right now. I had 21 vitality right now. So, I had a recovery rate of 21HP per second. I had recently discovered that the recovery rate would be activated after vitality crossed 20 points. So, I had recovered almost my entire HP by now.
(HP recovery rate=Vitality per sec)
(MP recover rate=Vitality per sec)

I was waiting for my HP to fill up when I saw something heading towards me.
Ding…Ding…Ding…Ding
Alaram began ringing in my head as a warning sign. I rolled down backward and escaped whatever the attack was.
