The Inferno boars huffed out steam looking ready to a attack but right before they could open their mouths I heard Zara call out " Eclipse!". A black shadow jumped out from Zara's backpack and landed infront of us " trash!, Exactly why am I still wasting my time with you" said a deep voice coming from a black wolf that was a little bit bigger than Calestia. The black fur was shiny and looked soft but it didn't make the wolf look less fearsome, in fact it added a certain charm to it. No matter how slow I am it is not hard to recognise that this is a spirit beast.
The Inferno boars were now frozen in fear no longer looking fierce and eager, " I'm not gonna help you, just kill them quickly while they're still pissing their fur with my presence!" Said the the wolf with a deep gruff voice that made me shiver. I quickly took out the two healing potions that were in my backpack and drank them in two gulps, because they were low level healing potions they only helped with the burbs. My leg was still in a very sad state but they helped enough for me to atleast move my arm and use magic a few times.
I cancelled the aqua shield and started to gather energy directing it to lessen the preparing time. I generated powerful bolts of lightning, imbued with the ability to shoot off and strike up to three different places at once. The bolts moved with amazing speed,
Striking the Inferno boars at the centre of their heads. Thunderstrike Cascade is the new move I created and i know it sounds exaggerated but as I grow stronger this will a very strong attack imprinting fear to my opponent. Still I was able to injure them causing Zara to do his dark desire circle and the same thing that happened to that Fistboon happened to the Inferno boars. The mana stone was forced out of them in a very cruel manner.
" Thanks for helping out Eclipse but I still think you could have came out sooner " said Zara with a very annoyed expression, how can he converse casually with such a scary looking beast. "Shut up, trash doesn't deserve to speak" said Eclipse and it seems trash was his thing while Calestia is obsessed with Superiority. Eclipse started to heal Zara and even though he insults Zara a lot it's pretty obvious that they have a bond. " Hey can you heal her too" asked Zara making me remember that I still had a wounded leg. " Why should I ? She has trash that takes care of her" said Eclipse causing Zara to be confused but then a roar was heard thrn a very beautiful tiger jumped out of my backpack . He stood infront of me in a very protective manner but then dropped that by stretching his body while yawning.
" You have a spirit beast too" shouted Zara causing me to give him a pitiful look " don't tell me you thought it was only you in the world who'd have a spirit beast" I didn't shout like an idiot when his spirit beast came out , that just shows who is and who is not 'superior'. I giggled with my thoughts. " Just who exactly did you call trash you inferior indoor puppy" said Calestia causing me to feel nervous. Eclipse slammed his paw on the ground causing it to shake and Calestia did the same causing it to also shake " ho-w how about you two go back in our backpacks and finish whatever you are doing later cause me and Claudia still have two more Inferno boars to find" said Zara standing infront of Eclipse giving the wolf a very fierce glare. Eclipse growled, he shrunk himself and jumped in Zara's backpack. Calestia began to heal me covering me in a ball made of stars that no only healed my injuries but also recovered my Strength and mana even fixing the holes on my clothes. After he was done with that he also jumped in my backpack.
" We should continue , the crystal indicates there are Inferno boars nearby so we should be careful" Zara and I nodded fully agreeing with him. We can't let history repeats itself, I may be healed now but I still remember the pain I felt after being hit by those fireballs and I really don't know how I managed not to cry.
We continued walking and I had my lightning ready for action in both my hands. This time we saw three inferno boars but two looked different " two level 2 Inferno boars and one level 3 Inferno boars. You take the two and I'll the level 3" said Zara and I didn't have a problem as long as he could handle it. All I know is the mana stones are mine and the tusks too. I shot two lightning bolts at the two boars that were smaller than the level 3 one,they were unprepared so my attack landed perfectly. Angered they fired two fireballs that were smaller than the level 3 Inferno boars that almost killed us. I created my aqua shield causing they're attacks to bounce back wounding them greatly. The decided that charging at me will be a great idea but I killed them with my lightning bolts before they could even get to me.
I ignored Zara who was still fighting the level 3 Inferno boars cause he has a spirit beast and went to carve out the mana stones which was very hard cause the skin of these things was very strong. I threw the two mana stones and their tusks in my backpack and waited for Zara to finish. While watching his fight I heard the grumbling of my stomach , it was already 2pm and I haven't eaten at all. " Ok just one more then we're done, if you want we can go together and exchange the others things that we got for money, I'll make sure that they won't cheat you" , " yeah that's a great idea plus we can eat something afterwards" he smiled at my suggestion and nodded agreeing with it.
After killing the last level 3 inferno boar with a couple of other level 2 Inferno boar we rushed to the town. I was getting hungrier by the minute, after exchanging everything to a person who was very respectful towards Zara I was given 1000 gold coins causing my jaw to drop. '10 silver coins is equal to 1 gold coin' so I have . We bought something to eat from the shops that were by the road which was a very thrilling experience for me. " We did great today, I didn't think things would go so smoothly even though we faced some issues there and there you're a great partner" said Zara and I didn't have much to to him so I continued eating.
" How about we continue this partnership?" Asked Zara causing me to almost choke on my food, what does he mean continue the partnership. I hope he isn't In some trouble and why exactly do I care? " Like take on requests on hunting special beasts , we can contact each other using this" he said while giving me a small mirror. " You'll not only be making money but also gaining experience. Once you reach level 3 it'll be very hard to advance to other levels so buying materials to help you and absorbing special mana stones will be something you have to do in order to get stronger" ...
