Ninth Floor Boss
With nothing but his simple spear in his hand, Tom stared at the boss.
Tom couldn't know whether it wanted to set a trap by pretending to be asleep or if it was actually sleeping. After he woke the monster up with a kick, attacking it while it was asleep was no longer an option.
In a sense, Tom deprived himself of great advantage. While that also meant not taking the potential risk of stepping into the trap, taking the chances of that happening, Tom still made quite a tactical loss.
'All according to the keikaku,' Tom thought, bringing up an ancient meme in his thoughts.
The lizard slowly moved up, not showing any signs of a hurry. It appeared that it was aware of the vast difference in power between itself and the invader. As such, it didn't showcase any anxiety or caution, taking its time to shake up the drowsiness.
'I wonder if I can pull it off,' Tom thought, feeling how the adrenaline started to flow through his veins.
