His form was on point, and so was his imagination, to say nothing of his circumstances.

Once he released his arrow, Jake could have said this one had been powerful. He felt that with the archer's soul, body, and heart. NewW novels updates at novelhall.comilarly, the innocently sleeping wolf could have felt the same as the arrow went through his tough fur and flesh, fixing itself on his forehead. The pain yanked him from his nap, and his eyes sprang open. He leaped onto his four legs so fast that it seemed to have been to a lag.

Which was impossible as no one had ever recorded a lag in the virtual reality game!

[You have done a critical strike!]

[-61 HP!]

Jake and the boss held each other in narrowed eyes.

Only one could have seen any system messages, but it wasn't a reason to celebrate as the damage Jake had left was too little, and it had been the critical strike! The boss's fur and skin were so tough that getting to his brain was like getting blood from a stone!

Those thoughts may have crossed his mind, but Jake didn't take them to heart.

He stood in his soldier form and drew his bowstring behind him, shooting another arrow. This form was the one he'd learned from Richard: the same the newbie helper had corrected so as to Jake could draw out the extent of his strength.

It wasn't a bad form, but it had a few disadvantages that Jake's Master had pointed out.

One of them was that Jake's movements were significantly restricted and that it was unsuitable for someone aiming to conquer the tutorial island!

Jake came to understand that the more he hunted in the forest.

Nonetheless, it was the form he was the most familiar with. His muscle memory turned him into a mechanical beast that took arrows from his quiver and nocked them on his bow before he could have noticed that himself.

[-73 HP!]

The boss growled and impatiently breached the distance between them. He was so close to scratching Jake's face with his paw that Jake could have felt a taste of death on his nose.

He ran behind.

[Your stamina has fallen below 50%!]

[You're getting hungrier!]

Sweat trickled down his temple, and his breathing was rougher than ever before in the game world—Jake understood that he was getting tired mentally and physically.

He looked up at the boss' stats.

[The Forest Wolf Boss Lv.5 HP: 313/500 MP: 100/100]

The second later.

[The Forest Wolf Boss Lv.5 HP: 313/500 MP: 0/100]

The boss howled.

His roar was invisible, yet it sounded like a metro going past Jake. For a moment, it felt like Jake had been hit by a train as he fell backward onto his rear.

[You have been stunned for three seconds.]

It was more than enough.

The wolf ran to Jake's side and raised his paw, lowering it down to finally deal the first-ever damage to Jake in the entire tutorial island!
