When the cat started walking towards Evan, the hyena-type monster that had been sleeping also woke up.
Upon witnessing this, for some reason, Evan couldn't help but curse the receptionist who had sold him the invisibility potion.
The cat-type monster slowly approached Evan's direction, carefully scanning its surroundings as if searching for something.
The cat monster was similar in size to a house cat, with a body covered in pitch-black fur like other shadow-type monsters. Its deep red eyes gleamed brightly.
'I hope this Neko-Chan isn't coming for me,' Evan thought, staying still, fully aware that if he were to die at its hands, he will not receive another transmigration ticket.
Unfortunately, the cat continued to approach his direction, stopping just two meters away from Evan.
In such close proximity, Evan began sweating profusely. The cat-type monster paused, sniffing the air and wearing a confused expression.
Evan glanced sideways at the hyena-type monster and noticed it also appeared confused, indicating its senses were much weaker than the cat's.
'Neko Neko go away come again another day--' to calm down his mind because of how close the cat type monster was standing to him, Evan started to sing a bullsh*t song inwardly.
Just as he began singing, the cat-type monster turned away and returned to its previous sleeping spot.
Relieved that the cat hadn't detected him, Evan finally released the breath he had been holding.
Soon, the cat settled back into its slumber, and the hyena followed suit.
After ensuring both monsters were sound asleep, Evan didn't immediately move. He waited for approximately five minutes before cautiously approaching the cat once again.
Soon Evan was just five meters away from the cat-type monster. As he reached this distance, the cat's nose twitched slightly.
This sight made Evan's heart skip a beat. Fortunately, the cat didn't wake up, and its nose returned to normal soon after.
Taking a deep breath, Evan cautiously moved closer to the cat.
When he was just two meters away, he didn't hesitate any longer. Gripping his sword tightly, he used the long blade of his sword to slash at the neck of the sleeping Neko-Chan.
Just as Evan slashed, the cat's eyes snapped open, and it attempted to leap away.
Despite its swift reaction, Evan's sword was faster. Before the cat could escape, the sword made contact with its neck. And just as Evan expected, the cat's defense was way weaker than the wolf he had slain earlier.
Upon contact with its neck, Evan's sword didn't pause for a second, swiftly severing the head from the rest of the body without resistance.
After killing the cat, Evan quickly turned around and saw that the hyena had already awakened. Its eyes widened as it gazed at the lifeless body of the cat.
To ensure his position remained concealed, Evan distanced himself from the cat's corpse.
After moving away when he looked back at the hyena, he noticed it was looking around with a confused look on its face, indicating its inability to detect him.
After confirming it can't detect him, Evan was about to move toward it, when he saw the hyena opened its mouth and launched a black energy ball towards the cat's body.
Boooomm-!!
The energy ball exploded upon impact, blowing away the cat's remains.
But after seeing it was unable to locate the enemy, the hyena began firing energy balls in all directions.
Witnessing this, Evan quickly increased the distance between them. However, by chance, the hyena shot an energy ball in his direction just as he was retreating.
Startled, Evan swiftly crouched down, narrowly avoiding the energy ball that landed ten meters away, leaving a small crater in the ground.
Evan gulped down his saliva after seeing the crater, he was sure that if that energy ball hit him earlier, the chances of him instantly dying were 99.99%
After barely avoiding death, Evan quickly stood up and put more distance between himself and the hyena.
The hyena continued shooting energy balls for the next five minutes, attempting to locate Evan, but it failed to find him.
After using its energy balls multiple times, the hyena was almost out of mana and was panting heavily.
When Evan noticed that it had stopped attacking and appeared completely exhausted, he began walking towards it.
Although exhausted, the hyena remained cautious, looking around with alert eyes.
Eventually, Evan was just ten meters away from it, and the hyena still hadn't noticed his presence.
'its senses are much weaker compared to that Neko-Chan,' Evan thought as he observed the hyena's obliviousness.
He gripped his his sword tightly, and approached the hyena. Even when he was merely three meters away from it, the hyena still failed to detect him.
Evan narrowed his eyes as all his senses heightened. He took a large step forward, and a light blue aura enveloped his sword. Instead of slashing, he used the sword like a spear and thrust it into the eye of the hyena, which reacted too late to defend itself.
Due to the use of mana during the attack, the sword easily pierced the hyena's eye, penetrating all the way to its brain, instantly destroying it.
The hyena didn't even have a chance to make a sound before its lifeless body dropped to the ground motionless.
Seeing the dead hyena, Evan finally felt a sense of relief and retracted his sword.
"My mana reserve is truly awful. I used it for only a second and lost one-fifth of my mana," Evan shook his head in disappointment, realizing how much mana he had consumed.
'I need to increase my rank if I want to improve my mana reserve,' Evan thought and looked at the lifeless body of hyena wondering if he will get any core from it.
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.
