Liu Ming took a few steps forward, and the information about the massive rat finally appeared before his eyes.

Doomsday Battle Rat Kitten: Level 8 (Leader-level)

Health Points: 8,500/8,500

Introduction: The offspring of a terrifying magical beast that a certain secret organization bred at a great expense. It contains terrifying Dark Mana.

Compared to the rats outside that had metamorphosed, this rat had clearly already broken out of the category of ‘beasts’ and was considered an actual magical beast.

At this moment, the Doomsday Battle Rat suddenly leaped up, opened its mouth, and spat out a black Light Bomb at Liu Ming.

The black Light Bomb landed on Liu Ming’s Holy Protection and caused significant damage to it.

Immediately afterward, the Doomsday Battle Rat charged towards Liu Ming at extreme speed with black light around it.

After Liu Ming used his Retaliation Skill to block the Doomsday Battle Rat’s attack, he looked at it with some shock.

Putting aside the Doomsday Battle Rat’s attacking method, the fact that it was so decisive in attacking Liu Ming was enough to show that the AI of the Doomsday Battle Rat was stronger than the retarded AI that Liu Ming had previously encountered by more than a level.

At this moment, the Doomsday Battle Rat adjusted its posture before attacking Liu Ming again.

This time, the Doomsday Battle Rat stretched out its claws that were glowing slightly and scratched Liu Ming.

By now, Liu Ming had long started defending against it. How could he let it have its way? After Liu Ming managed to avoid the Doomsday Battle Rat’s attack, he stabbed the Doomsday Battle Rat’s body with his sword.

Heavy Slash!

The three-figure damage indicator appeared, making Liu Ming rather displeased.

Although Heavy Slash was just a White Skill, it would still result in 200-odd points of damage to the massive rat that had metamorphosed.

However, only less than 170 points of damage were dealt to the Doomsday Battle Rat. That was enough to prove that the Doomsday Battle Rat had a high Defense on top of having high attacking power and HP.

However, Liu Ming was soon filled with battle intent as he started the real battle with the Doomsday Battle Rat. Although Liu Ming could previously kill monsters with ease, it was actually no different from killing the monsters in other games.

Since the Doomsday Battle Rat had such high intelligence and superior stats, Liu Ming felt a sense of pleasure when fighting with the monsters of another world.

…

Liu Ming and the Doomsday Battle Rat fought against each other and entered a battle of wits and bravery. In the end, he managed to beat the Doomsday Battle Rat and forced it into a berserk state by relying on his own flexibility.

When it entered the berserk state, the Doomsday Battle Rat’s HP was already less than 800.

With the side-effect of a 50% reduction in Defense after entering the berserk state, Liu Ming—who had activated Blessing of Lady Luck—managed to kill the Doomsday Battle Rat successfully with the use of Chain Slash.

As the Doomsday Battle Rat fell, Liu Ming finally advanced to Level 7.

Afterward, there was a grand and opulent explosion as usual.

The Doomsday Battle Rat did not drop as many items as the Berserking Hound King did. However, there was a huge increase in quality.

Apart from a few pieces of White equipment, the rest were Green equipment. It had even dropped a set of Blue equipment and a Purple necklace.
