Panther Rabbit
Somehow, he felt replenished after drinking his urine. If there's just any source of water Kai wouldn't go this far. Also, he can't take to drinking the liquid falling down the ceiling as he was afraid that was contaminated with poisonous chemicals. Well, it wasn't bad to think about that since the smell it was released was enough to determine that liquid wasn't safe to drink.
Swoosh!
A swift sound and shadow occurred to him after standing in the middle of the spacious hallway. He slowly whirled around to see what was the thing now awaited for him.
"What's that?"
He frowned his brows as the only thing he could see there was the magical crystal intact on the dungeon wall.
Kai shrugged his shoulders, thinking that he must be having some hallucinations because of hungriness. "This is bad! My eyes and ears are starting to deceive me, It's better to find some food here before I'm going crazy."
He backed his glance in the long straight path in front of him and hoped that he can find a path to leave this dungeon.
As soon as he moved his left leg, another suspicious tone went to his ears. But at this point, he was certain that he wasn't hallucinating as he saw the small rocks on the ground suddenly move and the mild air gently touched his body.
Swoosh!
Kai grabbed his sword on his waist, then moved his head to the place where he heard the sound occur. Yet, he received the same result because there was nothing there besides the small rocks and blue-white crystals.
'I'm not hallucinating, also I'm still in the proper state of mind to think about that.' He uttered his mind along with the thought the creature here was making him fool.
"Hey! Come out! I know someone is here!" Kai said in a high tone and his voice echoed throughout the place.
Kai thought that he was currently in the middle section of this spacious hallway where the rocks and crystals can be found. Yes, he knew hiding it wasn't the best option in this situation, so it was way better to approach the monsters before he attacks him without being noticed.
His eyes were focused on the possible areas the creature possibly approached. And based on his observations, the creature here had elevated agility as if he was expecting a sneak attack.
Swoosh!
"Above!"
Suddenly, he perceived the sound of someone was taking off, so he moved his body in that direction to intercept the upcoming attack going to him.
His eyes were widened while looking at the new type of monster attacking him from above.
"Panther Rabbit?" He was confused about where he had gotten that word. Yet, he knew it was how to describe this monster. It had colorless black fur, 67 or 68 centimeters tall, had keen claws in both arms, and red aggressive eyes.
Moreover, Kai didn't forget to protect himself from getting severe damage. To begin with, he strongly placed his rusty sword in front of his head to block the sharp claws slicing in the air.
Clang!
The sound of two metals colliding with each other went to their ears. After Kai discovered he had greater strength against this monster, he stepped forward his left foot to gather some strength while swinging down the sword.
Swish!
Swoosh!
The monster's defensive stance was destroyed that forcing it to step by just simply flipping back with the help of its flexibility.
Eehk! Eehk!
It was smirking at him and licking its claw, showing it was the weapon that would use by this monster to eat his fresh flesh.
"It's laughing?"
On the other hand, as soon as the crystal brightened the monster's outward appeared. A blue screen appeared right before his eyes, so he glanced at the interface.
[Panther Rabbit] - it's an aggressive type of monster who usually inhabits a dark place. Hiding in the dark the monster increases its movement speed by 10%.
To describe it, Panther Rabbit was a nightmare for all the gamers who played RPG Online as its fighting interface was similar to the assassin class. With its speed, massive power spike, and the assistance given by its passive skill, it can easily eliminate a certain player in just a blink of an eye.
He sighed deeply along with a broad smile on his face despite his current situation. "Yes, I admitted that I'm lucky to block that attack and forced the monster to step back. But my thing here is, I have a new idea of how I supposedly fight this monster."
Swoosh!
First, he went in the direction where the magical lights can illuminate a large area. In order to win against this monster, Kai should stop the monster from activating his passive skill.
Just like he expected, the aggressive monster would pursue to chase him where did he go. He whirled around, then pointed his sword toward the monster's neck.
"Test me! If you really wanted to see the afterlife." Kai said in a deep tone, at the same time, watching Panther Rabbit how would do approach him.
Within the 15 meters distance to each other, the creature charged straight towards him right away. By this, Kai already anticipated where the monster's second will arrive.
[Thorn dash]
He used his skill to have extra movement speed. "I have to match the speed the monster has, it doesn't matter here if I can't active the passive effect of [Thorn slash] skill." He explained, then fully swung his left hand to inflict higher damage to the monster.
Swish!
His movement suddenly increased and seemed the rusty sword was near to hit the monster's neck. However, something unexpected happened, the panther rabbit lowered itself by kneeling on the rough surface.
Swoosh!
After it managed to dodge the attack, the creature utilized its claws to slash the man's legs and passed to him. Yet, it appeared that the monster's attack wasn't ended with that as it twirled to the air cutting the man's back.
"Ahh!"
Bam!

[HP: 114]
In just a blink of an eye, those attacks weakened him as they pushed him to kneel on the ground. At the same time, his health power decreased dramatically and let him experience throbbing pain in parts where the monster successfully landed a hit.
"Shit! This monster is a way more skilled fighter than I thought." While in his position, Kai twisted his body in 180° as he felt the monster coming to attack him.
Swish!
His rusty sword punctured and black blood splashed in his arm. It appeared, that the monster didn't anticipate this human could counterattack in such a position.
Thud!
With the force given by Kai, the monster whacked to the dungeon wall. Even though he was having a hard time regaining his footing, he still, must do something to end this fight before his stamina depleted and become exhausted.
Bam!
He jumped over the monster and seated it on its chest. Kai then raised the sword with both hands over his head and swung it down directly to the monster's forehead.
More black blood splashed on his arms, in a simple swiped they've transferred to the surface. "I hit its vital point, there's no reason it would be stayed alive."
Not like the skeletons, Kai wasn't forced to kill the Panther Rabbit by hitting its core. Why? It had a simple explanation. The skeletons were alive because of the magic or easy to say that someone summon the skeletons while the Panther Rabbit had its own life as it has own race.
[You've received 82 EXP from killing the Panther Rabbit!]
Huff... Huff... Huff...
He leaned his back against the wall, then kicked the monster's corpse away from him. "Damn it! That monster gave me a wound, it's just making me hard to survive in this dungeon?"
Like the game, using health potions can help to replenish all the health points reduced to a certain player. But in Kai's case, it seemed he should cure his wounds to heal them manually.
Meanwhile, there was no strength remaining left in his body. Yes, he could move his limbs, but the problem was, the damage he received from the monster probably consume more of his stamina. Aside from that, it was not impossible he was going new types of monsters in his way.
He looked at the monster along with a disturbing idea inside his head. "What if I eat this monster? What would happen to me?"
