[Dodge!]
The monotonous but loud voice of the System abruptly brought Idan and Arabel back to reality, and they imdiately jumped aside. At the sa mont, a gust of wind blew past them.
Out of the corner of their eyes, they noticed that the rabbit was still standing in the sa place, staring at them.
[It's a Mirage Rabbit! It has the ability to trick the eyesight of its prey. What you're seeing is not true!]
"What the..."— before Idan could say it, both of them noticed that the rabbit that had just been in front of them began to blur and disappeared from their field of vision.
[Use Soul Force to determine the approximate location of the rabbit. Your eyes are powerless against such an opponent!]
Although the System's voice always remained monotonous, Idan and Arabel understood in this situation that she was worried about them. It wasn't often that the System took the initiative and gave them such helpful hints.
Following the instructions, they activated their Soul Force, a power they had only recently learned to use and had not yet fully mastered. After activation, their perception increased significantly, and they imdiately caught a strange sensation from behind. When they turned around, they saw a rabbit standing and looking at them.
However, their eyes deceived them again. With their Soul Force activated, they suddenly sensed a warning signal of danger. They tried to dodge, but it was difficult to determine where exactly the threat was coming from. Their perception covered too large an area, and they couldn't pinpoint exactly where that damn rabbit was at the mont.
Idan jumped away in the opposite direction from where he thought he felt the rabbit coming from. But he didn't manage to dodge completely. Sothing whizzed past his side, and he felt a sharp pain. Due to the impact, he couldn't stand on his feet and fell to the ground.
Idan felt sothing warm soak into his clothes near the spot where the rabbit had hit him. He imdiately realized that it was blood that began to flow out and soak his clothes. Looking at the impact site, he noticed three not very deep cuts, from which blood was flowing.
While Idan was falling to the ground, Arabel pulled out her sword and focused her Soul Force to try to catch the rabbit's movents. Being a descendant of a wealthy family, she studied fencing for a while at her private school just out of curiosity and for fun. She never imagined that in the future she would have to pick up a real sword and fight a monster.
The rabbit, after hitting Idan, imdiately switched to Arabel.
This kind of rabbit had a strange and perverse habit of playing with its prey using its ability to trick their eyesight. The rabbit got great pleasure from this and could not get rid of this habit.
Out of habit, after the rabbit wounded Idan, he left him alone without finishing him off and switched to Arabel.
As soon as the rabbit appeared in Arabel's field of vision, it imdiately rushed at her. However, Arabel was wary when she saw him. Her perception told her that the rabbit that appeared in front of her was just an illusion created to distract her attention and deceive her.
Thinking that she had correctly identified the location of the approaching rabbit, Arabel swung her sword, but the sword only cut through the air without touching anything. Then she felt a blow from the side, just like Idan, and felt a sharp pain. But unlike Idan, she stayed on her feet and imdiately tried to strike with her sword, but missed again, cutting only the air.
By that ti, Idan had recovered a little. He took a small red-colored healing potion that they received from the beginner adventurer's kit. The pain subsided a bit, and he could tolerate it for a while. He also noticed that the bleeding had stopped.
"Take a healing potion!", Idan ntally turned to Arabel, noticing that she was also injured and bleeding.
After making sure that her perception was silent and she didn't feel the rabbit's presence, Arabel imdiately took out the potion from her storage. She quickly opened it and gulped down the contents.
[From the Mirage Rabbit's behavior, you can tell that he's playing with you. He uses his illusion ability to trick your eyesight. Imdiately after using this power, he attacks.] — the system quickly analyzed the rabbit's behavior.
[Although you have not fully adjusted to your bodies yet, you have already awakened and are no longer mortals. You have an advantage over this rabbit — there are two of you and one of him. He attracts your attention with his bait, and then attacks from a blind spot. Cover each other's backs without giving the rabbit any space to attack. Make him attack directly, and then you'll have a chance to win.]
It was their second day in another world, and they were facing their first opponent. Everything was new to them, and they quickly beca confused, their thoughts in chaos. After receiving the blow, they began to panic and were afraid of this rabbit.
It was only after hearing the System's words that they ca to their senses a bit and realized how stupid they had been. They imdiately joined forces and stood back-to-back. Idan pulled out his sword and fully activated his Soul Force, trying to find that damn rabbit. He held the sword with both hands in front of him, feeling excited, because he had never held a sword in his hands before.
After Arabel drank the healing potion, the bleeding from her wounds stopped and the pain eased a little. She clenched her teeth, gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, and, like Idan, concentrated all her Soul Force in search of the rabbit.
Both of them understood that they would only have a few attempts if they used the Soul Force to their full potential. If they fail to defeat the rabbit during these attempts, they will quickly find themselves in a desperate situation.
The rabbit seed to enjoy their suffering and was in no hurry to deal with them, not realizing that his actions were only exacerbating his situation.
Earlier, caught off guard, the couple was at a loss and panicked. However, thanks to the System's prompts, they gradually ca to their senses and gained control of the situation.
The rabbit reappeared in their field of vision, attracting their attention. Then, he swiftly rushed towards Idan. His perception imdiately picked up on the approaching danger, and he ntally signaled Arabel.
Finally, they were able to take advantage of the unique ability of their Pair System - the exchange of stats. Arabel imdiately asked the System to transfer all available stats points from hers to Idan's stats.
The system imdiately complied with her request. Idan felt his body being filled with power, and without wasting any ti, he swung his sword towards where he assud the rabbit was, using the Soul Force.
The rabbit did not expect such a turn of events and this ti was unable to dodge. The sword grazed one of his hind legs.
After one full-force punch, Idan imdiately felt tired. But without wasting any ti, he ordered the System to transfer all his stats to Arabel.
Arabel had been watching Idan closely all this ti, and as soon as he touched the rabbit, she was able to pinpoint his location. The mont all the stats of her body returned to normal, she felt power pouring into her body. She swung her sword at the rabbit and hit it right in the head with a precise blow.
With that blow, she ended their first battle in this world, and they won.
