The huge boar charged at Masala with great speeds seeing he had no chance but to fight he looked at the hand he was using to hold a spear and the side hilts that held his two dagger and he then examined the boar to try and think of a plan to kill it .
He remembered that he found both these weapons and others in a hidden underground storage room then his focus shifted back on to the boar. Then he thought to himself.' With the use of aikido i can try to redirect the attacks back to the boar as it is more powerful than me and I should also see how far my current progress with the martial arts has gotten me to.'
Masala assumed a natural stance and centered his body on both sides of his legs the he activated his spiritual senses to use zanshin to be able to focus on the opponent and his surroundings then relax his muscles before he used kokyu and ki extension.
Then in his focus state he felt each and every movement of the boar. He applied Tai sabaki avoiding fatal injuries but the residual energy from dodging the boar caused slight injuries to his body. As he kept avoiding the blows he started losing too much energy on heavily dodging dangerous charges .
He then stopped and locked on to the approaching boar and when it came close then blended the irimi and Tenkan techniques causing a shiho and kaiten nage lead it to slide through the ground showing it's under belly which seemed soft .He then tried to break his own fall but due to the overwhelming difference in power he broke a few rib causing him internal bleeding as they slightly pierced some of his organs.
At that instant he knew that this was his chance so he used his last remaining energy to thrust the spear to under the head of the boar. The spear pierced the boar but it was still no deep enough to kill it so he pushed it further and ran to it's head to stick both his daggers through both it's eyes.
It wailed for a while then after some time it steadily died .This cause Masala to lay back in relief then ten minutes later he pulled him self up and fought through the pain as he slice down a piece of boar that's enough for him to carry. Then he limply walked home but then he suddenly fell down due to exhaustion and then he thought to himself. 'I can't die here so if any great being can hear know that i will do anything to get my revenge even if i need to sell my soul .' then a sudden deep voice erupted in his head asking him a question 'Are you willing to merge your soul with another soul and share your body with it in exchange for unimaginable power even if takes full control over this body ?'He then agreed to the proposed deal . 'Alright since you are so eager to do so your wish is my command .' Then he fell unconscious his body laying near the river bank due to the internal injuries he had suffered during his battle.

Jack saw the following notifications then he looked around for the perfect place to sit . He saw a nice shade under a tree with a small patch of grass to relax on then he headed there and laid on the grass .
He thought to himself that since he had a system he could check out what he has in his arsenal.'Wait since I have experience everything that Masala has face that means the every skill and mastery he possessed i know have it all ' he thought to himself and the system replied emotionlessly [ Yes master.]As that thought past he asked the system "Can u show my status window even without me voicing it out ?" The system answered back [ Yes master,You just have to just imagine a diplay of your characteristics showing .] 'That's good at least, don't have to seem like an idiot talking to myself .' he thought once more to himself in relief. Then in his head he thought of his characteristics appearing in front of him.
