The Rescue Mission

Ronan and Lisa rested on a rocky outcrop overlooking the entrance to the cave after long running time to reach the hideout. The harsh, cold wind had begun to pick up, and the sun was setting, casting long shadows over the landscape. Lisa, her lion-like features softened by fatigue, sat quietly, her eyes scanning the horizon as she caught her breath.

Ronan, seated beside her, observed her carefully. He knew their upcoming mission would be perilous, and he wanted to ensure Lisa was as prepared as possible. He had already scanned her stats with his True Vision:

- **Health:** 38%

- **Stamina:** 15%

- **Mana:** 100%

- **Strength:** 20

- **Agility:** 25

- **Intelligence:** 14

- **Luck:** 5

- **Magic:** 28

Despite her low health and stamina, her mana reserves were impressive, indicating she had some magical prowess that could be valuable in the coming fight.

Ronan and Lisa had spent an hour resting to regain their strength. During that time, Ronan had learned Lisa's name and discovered she was from the lion tribe of the Kemonomimi. Her strength and agility made her a formidable ally, though her low health and stamina were concerns.

They approached the cave entrance the successfully sneak killed all 4 guards quickly and quietly at the entance, the air growing colder and more oppressive as they moved further in. The sounds of muffled voices and the clinking of chains grew louder, signaling they were close. Ronan signaled for Lisa to follow closely. As they rounded a bend, they saw the first cells, where slaves huddled in fear.

"Three guards out front and a big guy in charge," Ronan whispered, noting the three thugs loitering near the cells and the imposing figure of the boss towering over them. "Lisa, you handle the thugs. I'll take the boss."

Lisa nodded, her eyes narrowing with determination. The plan was simple: Ronan would use his superior combat skills to deal with the boss, while Lisa would use her agility and strength to eliminate the thugs.

Ronan and Lisa took their positions, and with a swift and silent move, Ronan took out one of the thugs from behind, his blade finding its mark with precision. The remaining two thugs immediately went on high alert, their eyes darting around. Lisa sprang into action, her lion-like agility allowing her to dodge and weave with ease. With a flurry of swift attacks, she overwhelmed the two remaining thugs, her claws and magic dealing quick, decisive blows.

As the thugs fell, the boss an imposing former knight from Arcanis turned his attention to Ronan. The boss's massive sword glinted in the dim light as he swung it with ferocious speed. Ronan's True Vision allowed him to anticipate the boss's moves, and he dodged the sword's arc with practiced ease.

The battle was fierce. The boss was skilled and powerful, his every strike a testament to his former training. Ronan weaved around the boss's attacks, using his agility and combat skills to gradually wear him down. The former knight's grunts of effort filled the cave as he tried to land a decisive blow, but Ronan's speed and precision kept him on the defensive.

"You're good," the boss grunted, panting heavily as he swung his sword in a wide arc. "But not good enough."

Ronan smirked. "We'll see about that."

As the fight continued, Ronan's strikes became more calculated. He noted the boss's weakening stance and increased his attacks, exploiting the openings created by the boss's fatigue. With a final, powerful blow, Ronan struck the boss's side, sending him crashing to the ground.

The System you successfully level up 8 /10

Breathing heavily, Ronan stood over the fallen boss, the fight finally won. Lisa, having finished with the thugs, joined Ronan at his side. The two of them stood amidst the aftermath of the battle, the cave now eerily silent except for the faint whimpering of the liberated slaves.

Lisa looked at Ronan with gratitude. "Thank you. I couldn't have done it without you."

Ronan nodded, sheathing his weapon. "Let's get these people out of here. They've been through enough."

As they began the process of freeing the slaves and leading them out of the cave, Ronan and Lisa none of them find out what they looking for but only one cell left that they didn't check.
