Evan made a hole near the heart of the hyena to look for the core, but he was disappointed because he didn't find any core this time.
Evan looked at the place where the body of the Neko-Chan was before the hyena blasted it away, and only saw blood and chunks of flesh there.
He tried to look around to see if he can find the core of the cat, but after five minutes when he didn't find anything he stopped looking for it.
"The chances of getting a core from a monster are already very low, instead of wasting my time looking here, I should try to kill more monsters" Evan said while sighing and started to walk deeper into the dungeon.
It is already been around forty five minutes since he enters the dungeon. Now he has only two hours and fifteen minutes left.
Feeling he doesn't have much time Evan increased his pace and walked even faster.
After one and a half hours Evan was sitting on the ground while panting heavily. Three black coloured rabbits who were two meters tall and had sharp claws were laying near him motionless.
There were deep cuts on their bodies and no life force can be felt from their bodies.
During this one and half hours, Evan killed seven monsters including these three rabbits. But from these seven monsters, he got only one core.
'Just two cores after all this time huh' Evan thought and shook his head.
Now he has only forty minutes left before the effect of the invisibility potion runs out. He is quite deep in the dungeon, and if he doesn't return now, it will be difficult for him to leave the dungeon once the effect of the potion runs out.
It will take him around thirty minutes to return to the portal of the dungeon, so Evan stood up and started to walk back.
"Since now I have little experience fighting against these monsters, I might be able to gather more cores next time," Evan said while walking back.
After five minutes Evan stopped because he was a monster sleeping in front of him. Seeing the monster he was confused because he was sure that he killed all the monsters in this section of the dungeon earlier.
But then he remembered in dungeons, the monsters will respawn once again after some time you killed them.
The monster in front of Evan was the same wolf type monster he killed earlier after entering the dungeon.
'From here, it will take me around twenty five minutes to reach at the portal. I still have thirty five minutes left before the effect of the potion runs out, if I try my best I should be able to kill it in five minutes. Who knows I might get a core after killing it' Evan thought after seeing the wolf and made up his mind.
He slowly approached the wolf just like last time making sure not to alert it.
Soon Evan was just five meters away from the wolf, when he was five meters away he saw the nose of the wolf twitch.
Seeing its nose was twitching Evan stopped there and held his breath. After some time the nose of the wolf stopped twitching and returned to normal.
Evan once again walked forward and soon he was just two meters away from it.
After seeing the wolf was in his range of attack he didn't wait and just like last time slashed at one of its eyes.
But just as he slashed, he saw all the hairs on the wolf's body stand up and it tried to roll away from there.
But Evan was very close when he attacked on it so even though it tried, the wolf wasn't able to avoid the attack.
Red blood spurted out as the left eye of the wolf was destroyed.
Howl-!!
The wolf howled in pain and tried to stand up. Evan wanted to destroy the second eye of the wolf as well, but just as he tried to attack on it, he saw a cloud of black coming out from its body.
Without any hesitation, Evan stopped his attack and backed away from the wolf
When the cloud of black smoke touched the ground, the ground started to melt. Evan felt a chill running down his spine seeing how the black cloud melted the ground.
The cloud of black smoke expanded around the wolf, and covered two meters of area around it.
Seeing the cloud of smoke Evan knew that he can't approach the wolf.
"I hope the paralyzing poison will soon take effect" Evan muttered while standing far away from the smoke cloud.
After three minutes the black cloud started to disappear and he was once again able to see the wolf.
The left eye of the wolf was bleeding heavily and it was panting heavily. It was obvious that using that black cloud exhausted all of its mana.
After the smoke cloud disappeared the wolf tried to retreat, but just as it took a step back it fell to the ground feeling its body stiffing.
When Evan saw the wolf drop to the ground he knew that the poison was taking effect. He did not wait there any longer and charged towards it.
After coming before it he slashed at its second eye destroying it as well.
Howl -!!
The wolf howled in pain, but Evan ignored it and attacked on it with his sword again and again.
Since the wolf was not able to move because of the poison he easily killed it.
After killing it he looked for the core immediately. He made a small hole near its heart and when he looked there his eyes lit up because he found a shadow core there.
Seeing the core Evan was overjoyed, but he didn't waste his time there and quickly put away the core.
He wasted more than five minutes in killing the wolf and now he doesn't have much time left.
Evan was about to run away from there when suddenly black smoke started to come out from the walls of the dungeon.
Evan was stunned when he saw the black smoke and felt his heart tighten for some reason.
The smoke coming out from the walls gathered not far away from Evan and started to materialize
'A new monster is spawning' Evan thought feeling a sense of danger.
Just as he thought this, the smoke stopped coming out from the walls and a two meters long and one-meter-tall bat-like monster appeared before him.
The bat was pure black in colour, its two crimson colour eyes were shining brightly and a two-meter-long tail which was shaped like a claw was coming out from its back.
After appearing the bat immediately caught the smell of the blood, and looked in the direction of the dead wolf.
Evan was standing just a little distance away from the wolf and after seeing the bat coming there he started to back away, going toward the direction of the portal.
'Don't use echolocation' Evan thought while running away from there.
But his preyers were not heard by any gods as after not seeing the killer of the wolf the bat opened its mouth and released ultrasound.
As you all know bats navigate and find insect prey using echolocation. They produce sound waves at frequencies above human hearing, called ultrasound. The sound waves emitted by bats bounce off objects in their environment. Then, the sounds return to the bats' ears, which are finely tuned to recognize their own unique calls.
Even though Evan was running he was obviously slower than the ultrasound released by the bat.
If it was a normal bat, he could have avoided being caught by it by changing his posting again and again, but since it was not a normal bat it was obvious that its echolocation skill is far better than normal bats.
The sound waves bounced off after hitting Evan, and returned back to bat who was immediately able to find his location.
But when the bat flew at the location from where the sound bounced off earlier it did not see anyone there.
When the bat arrived there Evan was just fifty metres away from it, still running in the direction of the portal, but because of the invisibility potion, the bat wasn't able to see him with its eyes.
After not finding anyone there, the bat used echolocation once again. Sound waves once again spread throughout the entire hallway and it was once again able to find Evan's location.
When the bat looked at the location from where the sound bounced off just now, it didn't see anyone once again.
As the D rank monster the bat was not stupid, and immediately understood its enemy is using something that can hide him from its eyes.
The bat flew in the direction it sensed Evan earlier, and opened its mouth wide.
But instead of using echolocation to find his location, this time the bat screeched out loud in a high-pitched voice.
Evan who was running around seventy meters away felt a splitting headache and dropped to the ground while clutching his head when the bat screeched out loud.
'Fu*k' Evan can't help but curse and grit his teeth to not make any sound.
After five seconds the bat closed its mouth and stopped screeching, but Evan still wasn't able to stand up because he was feeling dizzy after the bat's attack.
While Evan was recovering from its attack, the bat once again used echolocation and found Evan's location who was on the ground.
Evan felt the sound waves bouncing off from his body and he knew the bat found his location once again. He wanted to stand up and run away from there, but the bat arrived there instantly and spit out a black liquid from its mouth covering Evan's entire body with it.
Evan who stood up with difficulty was stunned when he saw what the bat did, and wanted to know what kind of motherf*king octopus bat is this.
'Looks like I used up all of my luck when I got the third core earlier' Evan thought while looking at the bat who was hovering in the air, looking down on him with its crimson-red eyes.
Because of the black liquid now he was visible in the bat's eyes.
'It is good I don't have a game collection or anything else in this life, so even if I died I will not feel bad, right?' for some reason Evan's mind was very calm even though his life was in serious danger.
'Is this what people mean, when they say you won't feel anything when death will come for you?' Evan can't help but think when he felt his mind was very calm.
From above the bat opened its mouth to attack on him once again.
''Since my mind is so calm, I might as well try my best to survive. after all, I still want to eat something other than those nasty cup noodles''Evan mumbled as his grip around his sword tightened.
After opening its mouth, the bat released powerful sound waves in his direction.
Evan pressed his feet on the ground and jumped sideways dodging the sound waves at the last moment. Like an unstoppable force, the sound waves struck the ground, splitting it open and sending small pebbles flying everywhere.
After jumping away Evan looked around him because he knew he can't attack on the bat through normal means as long as it stays in the air.
When he looked around he saw many small stones which were created because of the sound wave attack of the bat.
Evan run towards the stones and grabbed two golf ball-sized stones from the ground.
Just as he grabbed the stones Evan felt something and jumped sideways without even looking at his back. Just as Evan jumped aside, a sharp claw passed from there barely missing him.
While jumping sideways Evan imbued some of his mana into one of the stones that he just picked up.
The stones glowed with faint blue light, and without waiting Evan threw the stone at the bat which was trying to fly away after it wasn't able to grab Evan with its claw.
The stone imbued with mana travelled like a meteorite and struck the bat right at the centre of its forehead.
Shriek -!!
The bat shrieked out in pain as the stone dug deeper into its skin and black blood flowed out from its forehead.
Because of the sudden attack, the bat lost its balance and started to fall down from the sky.
'Now is my chance' Seeing the bat was falling down from the sky Evan thought and charged towards it.
