Satisfied with what they obtained from each other, Shye and Seira chatted casually and marched rrily towards their destination: The Side Birch Forest.
Soon enough though, Shye suddenly recognized the surrounding areas.
After all, this area was the place where he, the benefactor, was kicked in the teeth, betrayed by the dastardly adventurers he saved.
'Hoh?' Shye looked around curiously, confirming shortly after that this was the area where he was chased around by the Winged Boarger.
As for Seira, she was quite nervous.
Well, the damned Boarger can rip her apart easily so the fear in her heart was understandable.
If not for Shye, she wouldn't even dare loiter on the safe path near this place.
Winged Boargers are quite territorial creatures, hence, it didn't take long for them to hear sothing that made Seira tremble in fear—her heart racing wildly.
"HYAAAARRR!!"
A primal high-pitched roar resembling the squeal of a boar and the roar of a tiger reverberated across the forest, almost making Seira jump up in fright.
Shye imdiately recognized that the roar ca from a Winged Boarger, promptly drawing out a greatsword in his right hand, and an elental staff in his left—raring to throw it down with the darned creature.
Shortly after, a winged silhouette burst out from the dense shrubbery on the left, landing nacingly in front of them.
Shye stared at it for a few seconds.
"Hoh? So we et again, you bastard." He said with an elated yet partially crazy smile on his face.
He recognized the creature's deep snout wound.
After all, it was inflicted by none other than him.
As for Seira, her disposition was nowhere near as collected as Shye's, trembling in fear were her legs as she tried her hardest to assu a battle stance.
Shye quickly glanced at her, inwardly comnding her bravery as he noticed her efforts.
He didn't have the luxury to look around for too long though.
Shortly after tilting its head and roaring in anger upon recognizing the young man in front of it, the Winged Boarger fiercely pounced toward the two of them.
Unfortunately for the Boarger, Shye was way too ready.
Aiming his staff at the flying f*cker, cold winds converged in the air in front of his staff, materializing into modest-sized frozen shards at a rate of four shards per second, viciously hurtling towards the Winged Boarger and making it cry in agony as the sharp points of the shards dug deeply into its flesh.
Shockingly, it braved the glacial onslaught through sheer ferociousness and savagery, managing to land a forced paw-swipe attack on Shye's chest.
"Puhaahk!"
"Shye!" Seira exclaid worriedly.
The dastardly creature was strong for sure.
If not for the low-grade gold-tier relic protecting his chest, then Shye would probably suffer a grievous wound.
Even so, the fearso attack made Shye's innards tremble, prompting him to vomit blood.
Fortunately, he wasn't so fragile himself, successfully stabilizing his footing after struggling for a few seconds.
"Not bad, you flying f*ck. That hit would be your last though, you should've made the most out of it."
Shye had to admit, the dastardly Boarger's ferociousness caught him off guard, however, he was sure that such a thing would happen again.
He was a human with excellent learning capabilities, after all.
The boarger didn't understand his words, nor did it care as it concerned itself with only one thing: ripping the loathso humans in front of it to pieces.
Unfortunately for it, the chances of such a scene happening were bleak as Shye replaced the greatsword in his right hand with another staff.
He then fired basic spells such as fireballs, icicle spears, rock bullets, wind slicers, and many more—continuously, giving the Winged Boarger little to no chance of counterattacking as it jumped sideways and ran around, desperately dodging all the projectiles thrown its way.
Seira watched everything—dumbstruck.
She had no business butting in at such a high-level fight, however, she didn't want to stay a burden.
Knowing that this was a chance for her to grow accustod to the nimble yet forceful movents of such high-ranked creatures, Seira keenly observed the battle, cautiously waiting for a chance to help Shye.
anwhile, the battle quickly reached its peak.
Shye's simple spells began to strike the Boarger, causing light wounds all over its body. However, the damage gradually built up, and soon the winged creature's movents slowed down.
It wasn't stupid, especially when it ca to matters of life and death, hence, it already knew that it would die if it allowed things to continue this way.
Swiftly deciding to make an all-or-nothing bet, the boarger roared proudly, making the muscles on its tiger's torso swell, seemingly trying to escape the confines of its thick skin.
It looked horrifying after its transformation, however, Shye wasn't fazed.
He knew that the Boarger was on its last legs.
Shye didn't stop firing spells—not for a second, blazing embers, freezing thorns, sharp winds, and vicious rocks hurtled toward the transford creature, producing a cacophony of chaotic sounds—explosions and screeches.
Unfortunately, this ti, none of the projectiles hit.
It seems that the transformation drastically increased the creature's physical capabilities.
Pouncing around in a zigzagging motion, the Winged Boarger masterfully dodged all of Shye's skills, gradually reducing the distance between the two of them.
Seira wanted to help, however, after the Boarger transford, she knew that it would be impossible for her to do so, hence, she decided to behave in the background, praying for Shye's victory.
As the Winged Boarger arrived in front of Shye, it seemingly flashed a nacing smile as if to say "got you!", ripping the air surrounding its paw as it swiped downwards with ferocious montum.
Unfortunately for the flying f*ck, Shye was waiting for this exact mont.
With his elental staffs already aid in front, Shye used his skill, [Blink Lv.3], and reappeared a few ters away.
'Fire Bomb Assault!'
'Frozen Thorn Barrage!'
A flurry of exploding fiery balls and lethally sharp frozen shards materialized out of thin air, fiercely shooting towards the Boarger whose paws were slightly embedded in the ground after missing its attack big ti, exposing its entire body to the fierce onslaught of fire and ice.
*BOOM* *SPURT* *BOOM* *SPURT*
The frozen shards embedded themselves deep into the creature's flesh while the modest-sized fire bombs exploded, ruthlessly tearing and charring its flesh apart.
Shye's ferocious barrage continued for seven seconds, causing Seira's mouth to gape and her eyes to almost pop out of their sockets.
Since the boarger was covered by gray smoke, it was impossible to see what happened to it.
However, Seira was sure as hell that it wasn't breathing anymore.
After all that? No way.
