Starlted cries left the pyers’ mouths.

  “What is this?”

  “A boss monster?”

  “Did mama rabbit e out because we killed too many of its children?”

  After a short moment of surprise, the pyers became restless. Many dreamed about being the first to defeat a boss monster.

  But the huge rabbit had its tiny eyes focused on Silver Bde at the moment.

  The young woma a kind of subscious pressure, finding it difficult to keep her posure.

  “What is this monster? Why does it stare at me like that?”

  “Use your i skill.”, reminded Liam.

  Cye and Silver Bde followed his advice.

  [Huge Red-eyed RabbitRae

  Level: 3

  HP: 350/350

  Fury: ???]

  Liam ied the rabbit as well. More doubts rose in his mind as he noticed the monster’s HP. They were higher than he remembered.

  But after all this was still a novice area he never personally visited in his past life. Maybe his memory wasn’t as fwless as he thought. Maybe all the praise did get to his head…

  “Ae monster?!”

  “Why does it have so much HP?”

  His teammates’ surprised excmations broke Liam’s train of thought. He calmly answered.

  “Monsters often have tweaked attributes. They are supposed to be difficult to solo.

  Elites are still alright, but the higher ranked lords and all kinds of bosses almost always need a whole party to defeat.

  World bosses even give a group of hundreds a hard time.”

  Cye had sparkles in her eyes, imagining the se of hundreds of pyers fighting a single world boss.

  The blond woman was giddy, about to ehe elite. But Liam stopped her.

  “What?”, asked Cye, clearly annoyed.

  “Wait for a bit. Let the rabbit sort out the other pyers first.”

  At this moment movement came in the area. The elite monster was just about to rush up to Silver Bde when two pyers blocked its way.

  “Hehe, little rabbit, I hope yreat loot!”

  “Yes, y…”

  Before the sed pyer could speak the rabbit attacked with a swift headbutt.

  [-54!]

  With only a single piece of armor the pyer was immediately at critical health, causing Liam’s panions to inhale sharply.

  His friend was stunned for a moment but decided to attack.

  Doing only a pitiful amount of damage he was instantly hit with the rabbit’s retaliation, the thief’s low health points bottoming out from o.

  The other pyer turned around to run but was caught up, his body falling to the ground lifelessly.

  About ten pyers watched the se, their chests tightening.

  Suddenly a man stepped forward, showing his name - Fat Tiger - deliberately, and shouting loudly:

  “Everyohis might be the first elite monster in the game! Let’s bine our strengths and take it down!

  Whoever is lucky gets the st hit!”

  The pyers looked at each other skeptically, but seeing Fat Tiger taking out a rge shield they gained some fidence.

  “Ok, let’s do it!”

  “Whoever is lucky wins!”

  “Don’t steal my st hit!”

  Most pyers at this point pyed the game for fun anyways, thus they were quickly vinced.

  After killing two pyers the huge rabbit lost its aggro. Despite Liam’s team drawing it out by gathering three rabbit eyes, it now turowards the pyer closest to it, an unsuspeg thief.

  The young woman still had some excitement on her face, expeg the group to surround the elite when red eyes suddenly appeared before her face.

  “Why me?”

  Frozen in shock, the thief only mao get out two words before a vicious attack seo the graveyard.

  “Careful!”

  “Move! Attack it!”

  Finally, the group of pyers reacted, encirg the rabbit. A harsh battle broke out. The pyers fought with ons and partially barehanded against fierce teeth and a huge body.

  Numbers popped up, increasing the excitement. But Liam could only shake his head watg the number of pyers dwindling.

  Gng at the back of the group he even spotted the instigator Fat Tiger slowly withdrawing. Clearly, he used the other pyers to probe the elite.

  After a short while only a single warrior remained. He looked left and right in shock, seeing all the pyers on the floor.

  The tall man gulped as a cw pushed his shield away, long, sharp teeth biting his stomach.

  In real life his guts might spill out now but fortuhe game wasn’t this graphic, sending the man to a peaceful sleep.

  Cye stared at the scary se with blinking eyes.

  “That thing still has 220 HP left?! we eve it?!”

  “We . It has lical defense, so you will be our main damage. Don’t hold back.

  Silver Bde, you should e. You also do normal attacks with your shield. They will do negligible damage, but serve to hold its aggro.”

  “Got it.”

  “Uood.”

  With a mix of apprehension aement, Silver Bde took a few steps forward, drawing the rabbit’s attention.

  The elite gs teeth. Suddenly it recalled the group who brutally dug out its brethren’s eyes.

  With fur swaying in the wind the monster angrily rushed at Silver Bde.

  [- 34!]

  [- 26!]

  Two huge damage numbers appeared above the monster’s head.

  “Ha! Take this!”

  Cye excimed happily as she lowered the rabbit’s HP before it even arrived. Unfortunately, her [Holy Strike] didn’t hit perfectly, thus only dealing half the damage.

  “Good job. We got this!”

  Liam enced his team as the rabbit lowered its head and rammed into Silver Bde’s shield.

  [Stance – 14]

  Silver Bde felt a powerful blow. She took a step back before ramming her heel into the ground.

  “S, I only defend two times!”

  Speaking in a solemn voice the young woman gathered all her tration, striking with her shield.

  [- 2!]

  With Silver Bde seg the aggro, Liam approached from the side, swinging his sword at the rabbit’s belly.

  [-22!!!]

  Liam’s wasn’t too surprised as he nded a critical hit. This low-leveled elite’s belly was its weakness.

  But Cye chuckled.

  “This was a critical hit? Watch me!”

  [- 34!]

  “Show him, Cye.”, praised Silver Bde with a smile.

  Liam could only accept the superiority of magical damage while the fight went on.

  The elite titag Silver Bde. A ded, almost emptyiance.

  “Careful!”

  Liam’s warning came too te. Silver Bde didn’t expect the beast to have a skill, which it sent out instantly after its normal attack.

  Sharp teeth broke through Silver Bde’s defense, scratg her shoulder.

  [-42!]

  Cye stared in shock as her best friend almost lost half of her 89 HP.

  “So fierce!”

  “Don’t wuys, one more rotation!”

  The girls nodded, Cye staring at the cooldown of her [Holy Strike].

  “I have a lot of fury, I will save it for [Sidestep]!”, announced Silver Bde calmly.

  “Yes.”

  Everyone knew what to do. The rabbit’s HP emptied out gradually. Liam didn’t nd another critical hit, but Silver Bde expertly dodged the attack.

  “We almost got it! One more normal attack from Cye!”

  Silver Bde spoke with a bright smile, disc the fun in gaming for herself.

  But at this moment, Liam’s vigince was maxed out, his attention not on the elite but on the surroundings.

  Suddenly something rustled between a few trees.

  “Watch out!”

  A low hiss sounded out as a fast arrow shot towards the elite.

  Liam reacted immediately. He jumped to the side, his sword meeting the arrow.

  [Stance -7]

  A tremor ran through Liam’s arms. He smiled smugly, his eyes staring at the pyer hiding behind a tree.

  Furrowing his brows from the failure, the bowman turned around, ready to leave.

  “Not so easy!”

  Liam khat trying to kill steal was an essential part of the game, but this didn’t mean that one shouldn’t suffer any sequences from it.

  “You guys end the fight, loot quickly aurn to the town. Those pyers will wake up soon!”

  Hastily direg his teammates Liam dashed towards the trees, chasing dowacker.

  Two pairs of eyes met. Liam reized the gaze of his oppo, weling challenges, even searg for them. A grin formed on Liam’s face as he discovered a like-minded person.

  Another arrow shot at Liam, f him to dodge.

  [Stance -4]

  The pyer escaped through the forest, not allowing Liam to engage him in close bat.

  When Liam reached the trees, the arrow pierced out of the foliage. Unfortunately, at these low levels Liam had no skill to close the dista, f him to dodge again.

  With a frown on his face the young man leaned his body against a tree. Using it as shield against the arrows, he didn’t lose more stance.

  A stalemate ensued.

  At this moment a notification popped up before Liam.

  [gratutions oing the elite monster ‘Huge Red-eyed Rabbit!]

  [Received 25EXP]

  [EXP: 45/500]

  Liam instantly closed the notification, not daring to be distracted.

  Suddenly he noticed a movement among the leaves on the ground. His arm twitched, his sword moving quickly.

  “Hm?”

  The thief couldn’t suppress his voice as he dodged backwards.

  But Liam didn’t really attack, only feigning his movement.

  With a grin on his face he jumped, using [Double Ssh].
