My Adventures In Philia

The Plan Into Action

The wild boar keeps on rocking its massive body, trying to shake Cobalt off from its back which he cried out, "I can't hold on much longer!"

The monster has so much stamina in it will be able to tire us all out if this fight keeps going. But luckily, I have an idea of how we will be able to win.

But since we are low in numbers, the best bet is to be careful on how to play the cards right otherwise, chances of surviving the fight are narrowed.

I turned my head towards Lexi and briefly told her. "Lexi, there is something that I want you to do."

"What's the plan?" She asked as she is ready to understand what to do.

"In this forest, there is something that we needed for this plan to work. So, all you had to do, is to find a herb-"

As I was explaining the plan to her, Lexi came off puzzled as she tilted her head to the side and had a doubtful expression on her face. She asked, "But what if-"

However, I cut her off knowing the wild boar would give us no time to talk. "Cobalt and I will distract the boar, you need to go now!"

Without a moment to lose, the sword kid nodded her head in response as she rush off through the bushes to find what we need. For now, buying her some time is the top priority in this situation or else the boar will come after her instead.

Glancing at a small rock on the ground, I picked it up and throw it at the boar.

The rock collided with the boar's side which made it swivel its head, glaring at me.

With a huff from its nostrils, the wild boar started to run at me while Cobalt held on to its back. Before it could attack, I tumbled to the right and was able to dodge the attack but as I was about to stand up, the boar charged once again.

In a quick second, I was able to dodge the upcoming strike. As I stood up from the ground, clutching my magic staff, I attempted to assault the wild boar once again. I sprinted towards it and swung my staff to whack its shoulder.

The wild boar let out a low screech and stumbled backward which made it furiously blow out more steam from its nostrils.

It was about to go at me again but then unexpectedly, Cobalt who is still holding on to its back pulled out one of his daggers from its back only to stab the bleeding wound again.

It made the monster screech to the top of his lungs.

It seems like wherever I attack couldn't do any damage. The only critical spot that worked in the back since Cobalt and Lexi were able to do the most damage.

In other words, attacking its back, also known as its blind spot is the key to defeating it.

But the problem is that the boar won't be able to give me an opening.

And that's when Lexi and the herb come into the plan.

Just as I predicted, the sound of the bushes rustle behind me, and a blond-haired head popped out through the leaves.

"Big sister! I found it! It was a little hard to find but I found it!" The sword kid raised her hand in the air to show me a dark green herb with a greyish stripe at the end of it. As I looked at her for a moment and yelled.

"Good job! Next, crumble the weed!"

The sword kid quickly nodded in response.

Before long, I heard the wild boar charging at me, knowing that it was not giving up. As I evaded the attack once again, I took a glance to see Lexi is already rubbing her hands, crumbling the herb.
