Kapitel 26: Bunny versus lion (Round 2)
<Protip #20: In Online, "World update" happens every ten years, to fix the bugs and make the system more balanced>
**********************************************************************************************************
"Raarrr!"
I dashed at full speed.
The lion raised his claws.
I jumped.
He slashed.
Sheeeng!
The rock below my feet just seconds ago turned into a flat table that reflected sunlight.
I was still in the air.
Lion slashed with his other arm.
Oh no! My legs!
I grabbed them and pulled my lower body up.
Wooosh!
Dodged!
The lion missed by a hair breadth.
Gulp!
Dangerous!
I landed, dodged a few more attacks and then temporary retreated.
I see...
I got carried away.
What an idiot me, charging right at him like that.
This is troublesome.
He's totally different!
Unlike the beast form, the anthro form gave the lion more freedom and control over his surroundings. His arms gave him a very long reach and significantly expanded his strike zone both horizontally and vertically.
Defending also became much much more easier.
And not to mention the claws…
Cut things like butter.
Gulp.
23 HP left… One scratch and I'm done for.
Can I beat him?
Not sure.
…
I started to regret taunting him earlier.
**********************************************************************************************************
"DIEEEEEEEE! Rarararararara!"
The lion sprinted, swinging his arms madly at random directions and demolished everything in his path.
This is bad.
There's no way I could get near him like this!
So what to do?
Run of course!
I ran for my life at full speed!
The lion chased.
**********************************************************************************************************
"Raaaawwwr! Stay still!"
"NO!"
I ran in zig zag path.
The lion cut down everything standing in his way like a storm of death.
**********************************************************************************************************
"YOU ARE MINE!"
"NO!"
BAM!
The lion leaped, but slammed his face into a tree.
Just like this, he almost caught up to me a few times, but when he got close I just changed my direction suddenly and let his own speed work against him.
But damn this guy was persistence!
"Don't run!"
The lion kept shouting nonsense behind my back.
Who do you think I am? An idiot?
"No!"
**********************************************************************************************************
"Hu-hah, hu-hah"
As the fight prolonged, I realized my biggest disadvantage.
Endurance.
This bunny body, although it was fast, it was so weak and fragile.
My stamina was decreasing fast.
My fur soaked in liquid sweat and at the same time, I found myself gasping for air.
My legs were on fire and worst, my throat.
"Hu-hah…"
I could drink a lake now.
**********************************************************************************************************
Schweeng schweng schweng schweng!
The lion cut down trees and rocks like paper.
"YOU CAN'T ESCAPE FROM ME!"
"NO!"
My mouth answered on its own.
And worse, another problem arose.
Remaining MP … 18.
Shit.
[Quick feet] really DEVOURED my MP!
I reached my limit.
"Hu-hah"
I see.
So this is what it feels like to be weak.
To fight with your life on the line.
Not fun at all.
Is this what I truly wanted?
I don't know.
Something doesn't feel right…
And as I was thinking that…
BAM!
I made another sudden turn and tricked the lion again.
**********************************************************************************************************
Uwahh!
I'm in a pinch!
What should I do?
I'm running out of stamina and MP.
I can't attack.
In fact, there's no point attacking because of his regeneration skill.
I can't outrun him either.
So … hiding?
Good option. But where?
This lion can flatten the whole area!
No place is safe!
Shit.
Does that means...
Shit!
I have to use it!
There's no option left!
I thrust the knife into the ground and used it to make an U turn
Sorry lion, I don't want to do this, but...
In the end, it's kill or be killed.
"FIRE BALL OF INSTANT DEATH!"
I shouted, but no fireball. I threw a fork instead.
Wooosh!
"Wahh!"
Just as I predicted, the lion fell for it! He startled and twisted his body to avoid the "instant death".
A perfect opening!
I closed the distance as fast as I could and slid on the ground.
"What? You tricked me! How dare y-- what!?
The lion turned back, but saw nobody.
"Where the fuck..."
I'm here, under your crotch you idiot.
And then, as silence as a reaper, I thrust my knife at his ass while twisting my body like a hurricane and my most deadly passive skill activated.
[Assassinate]
Automatically activate when successfully delivered a surprise melee attack. That attack will deal 10x damage, with sure crit and ignore defense.
Yes, that should be enough.
Taste this!
Million years of…
My blade shone brightly like the morning star.

"WHAT? HOW!?"
Unfortunately, I failed.
At the critical moment, the lion suddenly jumped up high and avoided death.

[Kawaii_Story_Bot's note]
~White lion~
Evolved from Grass Lion at level 20.
In Online, the Lion race is known as "The king of the forest". Its members are the most powerful and prideful ones among all beasts.
At level 20, just like any beast, a lion can evolve. Interestingly, the lion race has different evolution colors depending on one's sex life.
Leon was white because he was a virgin.
After the level 20 evolution, a beast will gain a skill called [Anthropomorphize]. This skill allows beast to transform into creatures with humanoid traits, known as Anthro. With this form, a beast can use weapons, wear clothes, armors and learn different combat skills.
[Anthropomorphize] also gives the beast the ability to have conversations with human. However, the major of beasts dislike humans, and thus they refuse to talk in human language.
Stat gain average: 4 STR, 3 AGI, 3 INT, 4 VIT, 2 LUK and 10 free points per level.
