Chapters 1808.
Nodding slightly in response, Ray then replied,
"Very."
Hearing that, Gerald could only sigh in relief. However, when Gerald turns to face Ray again - about to say something else - both he and Juno realize that Ray is staring wide-eyed at something behind them.
At that very moment both of them sensed the presence of another creature nearby. There must be something wrong.!
"At the back of you two."
Shouted Ray, prompting Gerald and Juno to dodge to the side, making sure to also drag Ray to safety.
As they were quite far away from their tent, the three of them watched the black figure jump high into the air before landing right above their campfire and extinguishing it!
Now engulfed in darkness, the terrified Ray shouted,
"that's what I saw before! I'm sure it is."
As if to prove Ray's point, a pair of bead-red eyes gleamed in the darkness at that moment, and they stared right at Gerald and his group!
"What kind of creature is that.?!" Juno asked while furrowing her brows.
Watching Ray shake his head, clearly unsure of what it was, Gerald then ordered, saying,
"Whatever the problem is, disperse! Standing together will only make it easier to attack all of us at the same time! Also, get a flashlight in your bag, Juno! I have an idea!"
"Understand!" Answer Juno.
"For you, Ray! Find a place to hide while I handle this!" Added Gerald.
Gerald didn't have to say that twice. After all, Ray wouldn't live near that horrible thing! Moreover, he knew that he would only hinder Gerald if he remained here.
With that thought in mind, Ray then nodded vigorously as the three of them dispersed!
The red eyes themselves immediately began to dart towards Gerald! Realizing that the creature was very fast and was already close enough to him, Gerald managed to dodge his attack before shouting, and then he,
"When, Juno! Light this place up!"
"understand!"
Shouted Juno while shining a dazzling light towards those red eyes!
After that Juno threw another flashlight at Gerald - which he caught easily -, Gerald turned it on as well, and with two bright lights shining in his eyes, the three were finally able to see who their attacker was.
It was a boar! As if his tusks had yet to look frightening enough, his entire body was also lined with sharp thorns!
Gazing with wide-eyed eyes, none of them anticipated to meet a savage beast here!
After all, the three of them knew that the boar was extremely aggressive, and if anyone was hungry, it would attack anything it considered food. Apparently, they're on the menu.
Either way, they all gasped as the boar began to charge towards Juno almost madly! Seeing that, Gerald immediately shouted,
"Be careful, Juno! Turn off flashlight!"
"Put back down and let me handle it!"
Gerald added as he quickly turned to face the boar that was now charging towards him because Juno had turned off his flashlight.
Watching the sharp-tailed boar open its mouth wide - clearly aiming to prey on Gerald-, Gerald knew that a single bite from it could kill an ordinary person, or at the very least, injure them.
Naturally, with that in mind, Gerald wouldn't let a boar do that. By rolling to the side, Gerald then summoned the Astrabyss Sword.
Although the sword's primary purpose was to face ghosts, Gerald believed that it would still hurt as an ordinary weapon.
Regardless, even though the boar was clearly ferocious looking, its large body made it extremely slow and inflexible.
As a result, he was unable to stop completely after Gerald dodged his attack, and ended up crashing into a huge tree!
As the sea of leaves flew to the ground due to the impact of the wild boar, Gerald knew that it was now or never.
Jumping into the air, Gerald then quickly began to descend, pointing his sword at the boar's back!
"Dead!"
Raung Gerald while sticking his sword into the boar's back before slicing it with great force!
With blood already gushing out from his back, the forest boar in pain let out a huge roar that echoed throughout the forest.!
To think that the peace and tranquility of the night would suddenly be interrupted by such a terrifying cry.
Whatever the case may be, when her cries finally subside, the boar falls to the ground, dead.
Since Gerald only needed to use one move to complete it, on the one hand, the boar was not a difficult enemy to deal with.
Either way, after realizing that Gerald had killed the boar, Ray heaved a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed now as he stepped out from behind the tree he was hiding in.
Together with Juno, the two then walked towards Gerald and stared at the corpse of the huge boar. Feeling that the boar was even bigger than he had imagined, Ray could not help but exclaim,
"Yes God! What a big pig!" Gerald and Juno must agree.
"...Well, as they say, good meat should not be wasted! I guess we now know dinner for us! If you're worried, wild boar meat is pretty good!"
Gerald replied with a smile as he started using the Astrabyss Sword to cut a large piece of meat from the boar.
As Gerald said, they haven't had dinner yet, and he's glad they haven't had dinner. After all, she - of all people - knew that wild boar meat tasted amazing! Ironically. The boar is now being preyed upon even though he is hunting for food.
Although the experience was truly frightening, none of them complained because their dinner basically came to them.
In any case, Gerald quickly rekindled the campfire before starting to roast the meat over the fire. Before long, a sweet fragrance began to smell, causing Ray's mouth to water as he stared at the roast meat while saying,
"This will be my first time tasting a boar!"
Ignoring Ray's comment, Gerald paused for a moment before asking in a curious tone,
"Tell me, Ray, do you know what a cultivator is.?"
"...A cultivator.? Is that some kind of stuff." Asked Ray curiously.
