Chapter 23: Demon Boars

Sounds of the bushes being moved could be heard as monsters approached the area.

It wasn\'t just Eijas that had appeared, but other monsters as well.

The wolves of the forest had an excellent sense of smell that was further improved after the system arrived and the world\'s mana started going rampant.

Toskars, demon boars, which although have \'demon\' in their name, are not truly demonic creatures.

Their appearance was demonic as they had spikes growing out of their back and their blood-red head was enough to spook any new adventurer that came to the forest. Their tusks were about 20cm ( 8 inches ) long and curved down next to the mouth.

The interesting thing about the tusks was that they couldn\'t stab with them, they actually used them as blades as the forward part of the tusks was incredibly sharp.

They ate meat and only meat. Their mouths were full of incredibly sharp teeth that could rip apart flesh with ease and were considered to be some of the most dangerous beasts inside the forest.

From what Lyle was able to see, the demon boars were definitely more powerful than the other monsters at this moment.

As soon as the monsters laid eyes on one another, they started attacking.

The forest floor was a mess, the monsters tore apart one another as Lyle simply looked at them from above.

He wasn\'t going to join the battle, at least not yet.

He held his throwing knives as he used them to pick off any monsters that were close to dying in order to get more Soul Power, but that was all he did so far.

There were simply too many monsters present and he would get torn apart by them if he went down.

The Eijas were powerful and could crush a normal human easily with their bare hands, but they were slow and clumsy, which made it relatively easy for even normal humans to escape from them when in the forest.

The Toskars were even worse their numbers down had thinned and were almost completely killed by the other monsters.

The wolves were fast, deadly, and cunning, which made them one of the apex predators of the forest.

The demon boars, however, were simply powerful. Their thick hide and large size made it almost impossible to stop their charge. They were also quite swift and attacking them from the side or back would not give the best results.

The spikes they had on their backs not only defended them against attacks but were also another means of attacking the enemy after charging at them.

Lyle waited for about 6 minutes before the number of monsters went down. He took out his spear and infused mana into his right hand before pulling it back and throwing his spear with full force at a boar.

The spear flew through the air and penetrated deep inside the already wounded boar. It had previously scrapped against two wolves before running into an Eijas that had managed to grab its body before attempting to squish it to death.

The spikes had saved the boar as they penetrated through the monster\'s hand and forced it to let go of the boar.

Now it was dead, the spear had penetrated right above its head and dealt the final blow.

Lyle nodded to himself before jumping down at an Eijas that was currently holding a wolf that had tried to jump on top of it and bite its neck.

Lyle quickly stabbed down at the shoulders of the Eijas before pulling out the dagger that was being held by his right hand and stabbing the Eijas\'s neck from the side.

He didn\'t stop, his right hand continued moving as he opened up the neck and a fountain of blood started flowing out.

The Eijas let go of the wolf and tried to hold his neck, but the result would still stay the same.

Lyle jumped off from the back of the Eijas and slashed at its eye before falling down on the wolf the monster had let go and stabbed down at it.

Lyle\'s daggers were incredibly sharp and penetrated through the fur of the wolf with ease.

He quickly pulled his hands back as the daggers cut open two large cuts on the wolf\'s stomach.

Intestines could be seen coming out from the body as the wolf yelped in pain. Lyle simply stabbed it in the eye before jumping back and dodging a charge from another demon boar.

The boar continued forward and hit the wolf, the tusks immediately cut deep inside the body of the already dead wolf before the boar lifted it with his head and threw it back.

The body was almost cut in half from the boar\'s actions and fell about 1 meter in front of Lyle who was running at another Eijas that was squeezing two Toskars in his hands.

He quickly threw his daggers at the two small monsters.

Thud!

Thud!

The daggers stabbed deeply through the heads of the monsters as Lyle jumped up and pulled them out before stabbing the Eijas in its eyes.

The monster screamed out in pain and let go of the dead Toskars before trying to catch Lyle in a bear hug and crash his body.

Lyle was ready for it, however.

He had stabbed the daggers so that the serrated parts were facing down. With that, he was able to get a good grip on the eye sockets and used the daggers in order to pull himself up and get above the head of the Eijas that was now bent over.

The daggers had been pulled out and Lyle quickly stabbed at the neck. He could have stabbed the head, but he wasn\'t sure whether he had enough strength to actually penetrate through the thick skull of the Eijas and therefore he opted for the easier, more certain way of killing it.

By the time the Eijas had fallen down, the demon boar had killed another two wolves and it was only it and Lyle that was left alive.

The boar had some wounds on its body, but they weren\'t anything serious while Lyle was completely unharmed.

He had managed to kill all of his enemies without sustaining damage and was actually quite proud of himself for doing so.

He stared at the boar as it charged at him with the tusks pointing straight at his body.

The boar was about 1.3 meters ( 4.25 feet ) tall and the soil beneath its feet were getting thrown around from the sheer power it had during the charge.

Lyle knew that he would be unable to stop the charge of the monster. His equipment was great, but he was unable to use it to its fullest as he was simply far too weak at this moment.

He sidestepped in order to dodge the charge before running toward the body of the boar he had killed with the spear.

He needed it.

Even though his daggers were sharp enough to even cut through the spikes on the boar\'s back and perhaps even the tusks, he would be unable to do it since his body was much, much weaker now.

With the spear, however, he would have more options.

The best way of fighting an enemy like the boar was to have a weapon that would allow you to have a good reach distance. His daggers were simply too short to present him with such an advantage, but the spear would be more than enough.

The boar was, however, faster than him and he needed to jump to the side twice in order to dodge the attacks.

One of the attacks had managed to graze his leg, and even though he had a leather of a powerful monster equipped, the power beneath that simple graze was enough to give him quite some pain.

The thing with better equipment was the fact that they needed mana in order to be used to their fullest.

Without having sufficient mana to activate the equipment, they were simply a bit better than average ones.

The armor for one, without being infused with mana, would not have even a third of its normal defensive properties. The same went for the weapons and any other items he had.

Lyle could use mana and infuse it into the items, but he now had simply way too low of a mana capacity, and doing it once would make his mana reserve go down.

Lyle sprinted and grabbed the spear before turning around and widening his eyes.

The boar was right in front of him.

Dodging at this moment was impossible, there was simply not enough time left.

Lyle planted the spear in front of him and aimed it at the boar, hoping for the best possible ending.

The spear went through the head, but it also dug deeper and deeper inside the soil.

The momentum of the boar carried over even after its death and soon it collided with Lyle.

The sharp tusks dug deeply into the armor as the boar fell down on him. The heavy body of the boar almost squished him as he struggled to push it to the side and free himself.

Such a battle would probably make the other monsters second-guess whether they wished to come here or not, but the intense stench of blood would still make some too curious.

He needed to take his knives back and get the hell out of there before more monsters arrived.
