Episode 4: The Fall Of The Mini-boss
"Alright... time to show how a true Rogue fights."
Kuro gripped both daggers tightly, eyes fixed on the Stone Gnoll before him. His skill bar blinked—Quick Step, Shadow Strike, and Camouflage, all ready.
The beast lumbered forward. Its body, made of solid rock, radiated power. Each step caused the dungeon floor to tremble.
"HP: 1200... I need to make every move count."
The Gnoll roared, slamming its fist down. The ground cracked.
Kuro faded into the shadows, darting behind the beast.
He struck at the spine.
[Critical Hit – 120 Damage!]
The monster staggered but retaliated swiftly.
Kuro narrowly dodged. A stone fist whooshed past, scraping his shoulder.
"Damn... I can’t take many of those. I have to keep moving."
He lunged at the beast’s leg.
The Gnoll roared again—
[Enrage Mode Activated – Speed Increased]
Time Left: 30 Seconds
"Seriously? Now it’s faster too?"
Kuro retreated behind a pillar, calming his breath.
"Pattern. I need a pattern—Dodge, strike, hide."
Shadow Strike → Attack
Cycle after cycle, chipping its health down.
CRACK! The monster dropped to one knee.
Kuro sprinted forward, leapt, and drove both daggers into its head.
The Stone Gnoll exploded into blue light.
