Forest north of the capital Justin's P.O.V.
As the bear charges I am surprised by its speed, even only using four legs to move it is quicker than a horse. Emelia reacts the fastest but her arrow sticks in the thing's fur and doesn't penetrate.
"Shining Slash!"
My slash only leaves a shallow wound across the thing's chest. I have to immediately throw myself to the side to avoid being trampled by the thing. As it turns to follow me Koko appears above it and swings at it's head, but her sword just bounces off it's skull. Emelia manages to hit it with an arrow in the wound I left on its chest, but it doesn't go in very far.
This thing is really tough, I am starting to wonder if we can even kill it. Maybe going by road and dealing with soldiers wasn't such a bad idea after all. As I see the bear above me I realize this is not the time to be laying around thinking about other things!
