Chapter 18 - 18 Blazing Light, Frog Croaks and Red Fireflies
Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Blazing Light, Frog Croaks and Red FirefliesThe night's mountain wind carried a slight chill, and beneath the sparse starlight, Char bent his head in calculation.
These two cubs were obviously from the same litter as the Steel Teeth Pig cubs he had killed during the day. Although it was a bit strange for two adult Steel Teeth Pigs to let the cubs out of sight to
Beyond that, two more Skills were added.
One of the Skills was called "Steel Teeth", a 1st Rank Skill.
The other was "Steel Needle Burst", also a 1st Rank Skill.
Looking at the boar's panel, Char's face grew solemn.
The boar had one more Skill than Lantern Firefly, and what troubled him more was the "Steel Needle Burst" Skill. Just from the name, one could almost picture what kind of Skill it was.
Even for Lantern Firefly, if it were struck by a Steel Teeth Pig at the brink of death, it would be very dangerous.
As for himself and Lotus Leaf Frog? Absolutely no chance of survival.
Only the defense of Star Worm was enough to safely withstand this round of attack, but what use was surviving this round? Star Worm had no ability to kill the Steel Teeth Pig!
The tenacity of the Steel Teeth Boar took Char by surprise. The only consolation was that the sow's Challenge Level hadn't reached 2, and among its Skills, it did not possess "Steel Needle Burst."
As for the two adolescent Steel Teeth Pigs, with a Challenge Level of only 1/2, they were not a concern.
While Char was pondering, up ahead, the Magic Pets had already begun to fight according to the plan they had formulated beforehand.
The Steel Teeth Boar turned to circle behind, protecting its mate and offspring, ready to counterattack against Lantern Firefly. Just then, from the grass beside the boar, erupted a blinding Blazing Light.
The intense light brought a strong stimulus to all the Steel Teeth Pigs, making them subconsciously close their eyes.
In Char's vision, the forest seemed to suddenly burst into a white blaze of light. He was still at a distance and it was intense, so what must the Steel Teeth Pigs caught right in the burst of light have felt?
Probably trapped in the white light, even with their eyes closed, they could still feel the blank whiteness all around them, right?
This was the first time Char had seen Star Worm use "Blazing Light," and the effect was surprisingly good.
The Steel Teeth Boar let out a threatening and nervous howl. Its intelligence was not low, and it naturally felt an intense sense of crisis.
At that moment, he heard a loud croak not far away.
The croak disturbed the Steel Teeth Pigs' Perception, causing those with keen hearing to overlook the already very light sound of Lantern Firefly's flight.
Suddenly!
The boar felt an intense pain in its right eye, and before it could scream, there was also a severe pain in its brain, accompanied by a strong burning sensation.
It was as if a red-hot Steel Needle had pierced through the eye and then stabbed into the brain.
Such pain was inhuman, even for the thick-skinned and dull-pained Steel Teeth Pig, it was maddeningly painful.
It crazily tried to launch "Steel Needle Burst" for a dying blow, to drag the enemy down with it, but it didn't expect that as soon as this thought surfaced, the Red-hot Steel Needle in its head stirred violently...
Then, its thoughts scattered like snapped strings, forgetting to launch "Steel Needle Burst," and after that, its thoughts were completely severed, plunging into eternal darkness.
Blazing Light faded, and the forest returned to darkness.
Only to see the Steel Teeth Boar frozen in place as if immobilized, with Lantern Firefly fluttering before it, the Red-hot True Red Thorn piercing through the boar's right eye.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a silent and clear chant as True Red Thorn was sheathed. Lantern Firefly quickly retreated, dodging the angry attacks of the other Steel Teeth Pigs.
'Success! The situation is settled!'
Char felt great joy in his heart.
With the most troublesome and potentially dangerous Steel Teeth Boar killed, the remaining pigs could no longer cause any trouble.
From the very beginning, in formulating the battle plan, he had focused on this boar.
He himself would shoot from a distance to attract the attention of the Steel Teeth Pigs, then have Lantern Firefly initiate "Red Glow" from behind as a sneak attack.
But while "Red Glow" did considerable damage, it was not the true killing move. Just like his arrows, "Red Glow" was a feint.
The real killing move was the combination of three major Magic Pets: Star Worm, Lantern Firefly, and Lotus Leaf Frog!
