Karon wasn't wrong .
In less than 2 minutes after Ian had entered the forest road, a grey rabbit jumped out of the gra.s.s .
Psssh- Psssh-!
A rabbit stuck out like a bullet and then bounced into some other place .
That action made Ian very excited .
'Huhu, this is fun and refres.h.i.+ng, huh?'
The penalty was one level down, but the level of Ian was already over 400 .
And at this point, hunting was what occupied the mind of Ian .
'Let's see, where is my bow for hunting the rabbit . '
To catch a fast and slender rabbit, the ranged weapons were much more advantageous for such kind of things .
And Ian naturally tried to open his inventory to swap weapons .
And of course, the inventory didn't open .
Tring-!
[Inventory cannot be opened in the state of 'dead' . ]
“Hu…”
Ian had his crying face on .
'I need to catch the rabbit with a spear…'
Rabbits were basically herbivores .
Because of that, they had a weak attack skill, but they did have great agility .
That was also the case for a rabbit that was in the beginner's hunting ground in the Colonnare continent .
Many beginner users used ranged weapons and stuff, but the rabbits didn't even bother to look at the users .
It was all because the rabbits moved with agility were very bad for the hunting efficiency .
'Hu, even then, what to do? I have no choice . '
Ian tried to make up his mind and placed his hands around the sword .
The weapon that was in the hands of Ian was the b.l.o.o.d.y Revenge .
It was what he had taken from Limlong, the weapon that was in his hands when he was being cut down by Mukan .
'It's great that I wasn't holding the Judgment of the Spirit King . '
The b.l.o.o.d.y Revenge was like a feather-like sword that had the advantages of a dagger and a sword too .
On the other hand was the Judgement of the Spirit King, which was a spear .
It was clear for anyone to realize which of the weapons would be beneficial for killing a hare .
'There is Blood Split . '
A rus.h.i.+ng attack technique like Blood Split would be a great tool for pursuing a fast rabbit .
Ian decided to make the most of the skill .
'Should I go and find one first?'
Ian, slowly moving towards the gra.s.s, carefully opened the gra.s.s in front of him .
Pussshk-!
Ian killed, then tried to stop all the entering voices into his head and pushed his head through the gra.s.s .
Then the next moment, Ian's impression crumbled again .
'What is this? A dead rabbit …?'
[Dead Rabbit: Lv 3 (transcendence)]
The level of the rabbit was 3 .
'Hu, can't you just be a rabbit?'
The Kailan level, it never lied .
Ian's transcendence level was currently 2 .
And the level of the rabbit was higher than that of Ian, so it was natural for him to be cautious .
In addition, the lower the level, the greater the difference between the levels .
Rustling .
As soon as he approached the gra.s.s, Ian approached the targeted rabbit with light footsteps .
He could have used the Blood Split to approach it at once, but it was better to hold onto it until the rabbit noticed the presence of Ian .
Blood Split was a non-target skill, the closer the distance, the easier it was to hit .
And Ian walked just one meter behind the rabbit…
Capturing the rabbit's hind limb movement, Ian instantly triggered the Blood Split .
Phat-!
[Unique ability 'Blood Split' has been activated . ]
Ian's none-target skill hit rate was unmatched .
Even the archer rankers who are good at hitting with a non-targeting skill would admire the skill of Ian .
Ian, wasn't able to hit the rabbit that was one meter away .
Phak-!
['Dead Rabbit' has been damaged!]
After all, Ian triggered the weakness capture, and precisely hit the critical point!
But the next thing was the problem .
[Vitality of the 'Dead Rabbit' has been decreased by 685 . ]
[The 'Dead Rabbit' is now in 'hostile state' . ]
The dead rabbits just like the rabbits in the Colonar continent was like a monster that wouldn't show hostility unless attacked first .
Which was why the message of hostility had come up .
But that wasn't the problem .
'685? Didn't the damage deal get stuck?'
Obviously, it was just three digits of damage even though Blood Split was a critical hit .
Ian's eyes naturally turned over to the vitality gauge .
Ian was shocked at what he had just witnessed . The vitality of the rabbit was hardly cut .
Was it around 2 or 3 percent?
That was from the damage deal of the Blood Split, which meant that a normal attack would result in a two-digit damage deal .
'Even if it is the Middle-Earth, my attack should have been around 1,000…'
At level 2, Ian's current damage rate was exactly 1,350 .
But only half of the damage was done, which meant that the defense of the rabbit was higher than the attack of Ian's .
'What is wrong with this rabbit?'
And at the same moment, Ian was further surprised .
Puak-!
The rabbit bounced and hit the torso of Ian .
[Damage caused by the 'dead rabbit'!]
[Vitality reduced by 6,798!]
“Crazy sh*t…!”
Ian had no choice but to curse .
With the 90,000 extra vitality with the item heal, otherwise, the attack could've killed Ian in a single shot .
Ian's current vitality, minus the item bonus, was only 5,000 .
And this time, it was a bunny rabbit that gained the edge over Ian with just one air kick .
Ian's head started to work fast .
'I can get a thousand points with just hitting it in a flat manner . '
Maybe fighting like this didn't make the rabbit tired .
The rabbit's torso is quite fast, but it wasn't undamaged .
(Of course, if he fought with everything, Ian could win . )
The problem, however, was the time limit .
It took Ian 20 minutes to catch one of them, then that made it hard for him to get five of those in just three hours .
“Hu, I'm having to summon, for a rabbit…”
Mumbled Ian to himself, and eventually decided to borrow the power from his summons .
“Summon, Karceus! Summon, Bbookbbook!”
But the next minute, the system messages frustrated the h.e.l.l out of Ian .
[You cannot summon 'Karceus' . ]
[In the state of 'dead', only the dead summons can be summoned . ]
[You cannot summon 'Bbookbbook'…]
In the state of 'dead', only the 'dead' summons could be the only one summoned .
And in the battle with the Underworld King, Mukan, Ian was the only one who died .
“Ahhh!”
The word that best described the visit of Ian to the Underworld .
-Ian's Underworld Exploration . (Ian POV)
So, what did I do?
How did I deal with that kind of situation?
I fought very hard with a rabbit .
One might laugh, but I was very serious .
The time it took to catch one guy was over 10 minutes…
It made me think that catching Death Knights was times easier than that .
But the problem was, that didn't end there .
In the state of 'dead', even the item drop didn't happen .
The skin didn't drop for three, have you ever heard the sky sing?
It was like the planning team was playing a joke with the rabbit skin drop rate, and that went all the way .
But when thought about it, the system messages really did inform me very kindly .
There couldn't be a complete idiot .
And after realizing that I caught the three rabbits without thought, I picked up the bodies of the rabbit and started to move without knowing .
The time took for collecting five rabbits… was around two hours .
Phew .
It was really hard…
This was difficulty F?
Maybe be the F difficulty meant 'Fantastic' .
It was a fantastic quest . It…
Somehow, I managed to catch all five rabbits and I would hand them over to the butcher and get the five Death Coins .
Didn't I really dream that I would succeed in the quest within 5 minutes?
But after the quest, I will finally get some free time for myself .
It was then time to go around the Underworld and get something called 'information' .
When I arrived at the Thanatos village, I started to wander around the underworld .
The time remaining until Shakran uncle and the t.i.tan to enter the Underworld is approximately 14 days .
I had to get as much information as I could before then .
Of course, If uncle doesn't win against Mukan, then he might not even enter the underworld .
But do you know what's really fun?
After the 14 days, when Shakran uncle opens the portal to the Underworld, I won't be with them .
Unlike those who won't be able to cross the Acheron river, I will be able to open the portal into the town of Thanatos .
The other members of the Lotus Guild, excluding me, will move with t.i.tan .
On the contrary, there were many hunting grounds to raise the level of transcendence before crossing the river Acheron . And Shakran uncle will surely do his very best in there, (I feel like he probably is suspicious…)
Besides, the 'living' inside the Acheron, Erebus had a side effect, and it was a huge risk to take .
Kay, then!
Then why did I remain in Erebus all till the end even with the doubts and suspicions?
Originally, I planned to get as much information as I could until Shakran uncle won against the Underworld King, and I was planning to enter through the door once uncle opens .
Haha, wonder why?
But that, if one thought a little more, one will understand .
Do you know what I wanted to find the most in the underworld?
Huhu .
To find it right away .
Easier than one thought .
And quick too, before he started to hunt in Erebus, I had ten days in hand .
This is, is a story a day or two before Shakran uncle caught the Underworld King .
