"We are finally out." Lark grabbed the water canteen and emptied it in one go.
He laughed out loud.
"Why the long face? Wasn't the rush satisfying?"
"…."
Ryan kept cleaning his greatsword silently.
"So, you can also use your head sotis, huh? It was a good idea to throw that idiot over the Blood boar. It started jumping up and down to throw him off and ran sowhere else."
Lark was used to Ryan's silence so continued unilaterally.
"Betraying him then doesn't sit well with . I wanted to use him like the guy on the first day! Though we were lucky to et that smart idiot. He helpe-"
"Where are we going next?"
At Ryan's interruption, Lark's brows furrowed. But he answered in his cheery tone.
"Guess where?"
He stretched his words at the end and took a dramatic pause before continuing.
"We are going to et our idiot friend's companion. A friend's friend is also our friend. We can't leave them alone."

I held my urge to vomit and grabbed the Iota-rank boar's mane tightly.
After Ryan threw above it. It started darting here and there to throw off.
In its frenzy, it also killed a lot of ta-rank boars.
We were now away from the horde.
The boar kept smashing into trees as it tried to remove .
I had no choice but to cling to it.
The only way I could think of escaping was by tiring it out.
The boar ran to another tree when suddenly it fell. Its body balled over and started rolling.
I knew I would get squashed like a mosquito if I ca under it. So I jumped.
Before jumping, I again looked at my status.

=========
My body rolled over a dozen feet before coming to a stop.
GRAUU-!
Blood curling scream ca from the blood boar as it tried to stand
"It's injured."
My brows knit as I looked at the Iota-rank boar.
There were several cuts on his body, and its front legs were swathed in blood. But that blood had already dried.
This suggested it was injured before it attacked us.
"This was the reason."
The last of the pieces puzzle ca together and finally, the picture was completed.
I could help but grind my teeth at the realization.
"Soone other than us was also hunting the blood boars."
This would explain why the stampede had happened early.
I never thought soone strong enough to kill tens of blood boars was also in the sa territory.
This Iota-rank beast must have escaped them and joined the horde.
Upon seeing soone similar who had injured it, it must have decided to get revenge. This would explain why it was dead set on killing us.
"Haah…"
I knew I couldn't complain about what had already happened.
I should be happy that it was at least injured.
[Agility – 16 --> Agility – 18]
GRAUU-!
The boar scread again as it finally stood up.
I held my spear up ....and realized it was missing.
"Shit!"
It must have fallen during the earlier scuffle.
Not wasting any ti, I took my broken spear out and held both the pieces in my hands.
-THRWKR
The blood boar ran towards . Every step it took made the earth tremble.
Before I could get familiar with my newfound increase in agility, it was already upon .
I jumped and rolled sidewards to avoid it at the last mont.
CRASH-!
It crashed into a tree and knocked it over.
Without giving any rest, it again tried to run over.
The only sound I could distinguish was my heart thumping against my chest as I waited for the perfect timing.
Timing my roll, I dodged just before it was about to crush .
But this ti I didn't wait for it to crash into a tree.
I jumped to my feet and ran behind it to attack.
I thought I could inflict wounds on it by focusing on its cuts.
A mistake.
The mont I stepped near it, it swung its head and easily flung away.
My body flew and crashed into a tree.
"Cough..."
The air was knocked out of my lungs. I couldn't breathe for a few good monts.
GRAUU-!
Holding back the murky liquid rising in my throat, I stood.
'I shouldn't attack it recklessly again.'
I needed to stay calm if I wanted to have a chance at defeating it.
Ignoring the pain, I tried to find another way to attack it.
'Eyes.'
No matter how strong the beast was, the vital points should be the sa.
-THRWKR
'Should I throw the spear to attack its eyes?'
I stood rooted in the sa place and waited for it to co to .
'Or should I try to jump on it and then attack its eyes?'
It didn't even take a few seconds to arrive in front of .
I settled on the safest approach and threw the wooden part towards its face.
The boar closed its eyes to protect them and swung its head.
At the sa ti, I rolled over to dodge it when suddenly I was yanked.
The boar's tusk got entangled with my half-torn jacket!
The jacket ripped even more and covered its eye.
Losing the vision in one eye, the boar started to swing its head wildly.
It felt like my organs were being twisted. Still, I held tight.
This was an opportunity in itself!
I used my free hand and plunged the spear in its eye.
GRAUU-!
It penetrated until only a part of the spear was left out.
But the tip still hadn't reached its brain.
The rattling intensified, and the boar howled in pain.
I could feel my grip losing at any mont.
"PIERCE!"
Before the boar threw off, I used my only skill.
CRASH-!
I was slamd against the rough ground.
"Sh..it"
I unconsciously cursed.
The skill didn't activate.
