Mutual Destruction

However, before the boar could reach her, a shining sword light landed on its body, drawing its attention.

The remaining member of the team has finally caught up with them. The Captain's cultivation was the highest while the woman, with her affinity with the wind element made her more agile.

Thus, the man was left as the slowest of the team. However, him being slow was only relative to his partners.

After all, as the vice captain of their group, his strength had reached the fifth stage of the gilden core formation realm.

The sword light landed on the boar's flank, leaving a not so small gash. The boar howled in pain turning to face the man who was still charging towards it.

The man faced paled as he realized he was still charging towards the boar. The other two were not in a position to help him, which meant he was going to be facing the boar head on.

The boar, angered by his actions didn't hesitate to turn around and charge towards him.

With a grunt, it directly tried to impale him on its tusks. However, the man reacted in time. He quickly placed his sword in front of him in a defensive posture.

This was done just in time because as soon as the sword was in front of him, the sharp and pointy tusk of the boar directly collided with it.

A sharp sound akin to metal hitting eachother resonated through the surrounding.

A hint of joy appeared on the mans face. He was relieved that he was able to block the strike. However, his relief soon disappeared as a cracking sound soon entered his ears.

He looked down to see his silver rank weapon filled with cracks. Before, he could react, his silver long sword shattered into pieces just as the tusk of the boar gorged into his stomach.

The boar which hadn't stopped its charge continued going until it smashed into a nearby boulder.

With a few shakes of its head, the man that was previously impaled on its tusk was flying away to another corner.

His body now has a gaping hole where his stomach used to be. He couldn't be more dead.

All of this happened in a few seconds, so, before the captain could rush to help, he was met with his dead vice captain.

He watched in despair as the light faded from his vice captain's eyes. Anger clouded his mind as he let out a loud roar in agony.

He started a mad dash towards the boar. The boar, enraged by the blatant provocation didn't back down.

However, even though the captain was incensed, he wasn't acting rashly. Before he and the boar clashed, he suddenly leaped into the air.

He landed heavily on the boars back and plunged his large saber into its spine. The beast howled in pain and started thrashing violently.

When the captain removed the saber and attempted to plunge it deeper into its spine, the wanton thrashing of the beast shook him off its back.

He was able to land safely and swiftly retreated in order to avoid the beasts tusks.

However, this move inadvertently sealed their teams fate. The boars eyes had turned red from all the pains and anger.

It had just entered into a berserk state when it spotted a figure on the ground not far away from it struggling to get up.

It was the female member of the team. Though she was not dead, she was in a pretty bad shape.

The hoof she took to the side had shattered some of her ribs and caused her various internal injuries.

Previously, she had been knocked out by the impact which was why she was able to avoid all the beasts rage.

However, now that she had woken up and was trying to get up, she had inadvertently drawn it's attention.

The pain shot through her body as soon as her consciousness returned. She couldn't help but let out a slight breath filled with agony.

Her mind was still fuzzy so she didn't remember where she was. All she could think about was the pain that was coursing through her body.

'What's going on?'

' Why does it hurt so damn much?'

' It feels like I was kicked in the chest by a boar.'

As soon as the last thought crossed her mind, her eyes shot open as she clearly remembered where she was.

She tried to get up but her condition didn't make it easy. She was struggling when she heard a loud roar that reverberated through her soul.

She turned her head and the sight the met her eyes filled her with terror. Her face paled with fright as she saw the massive boar barreling towards her.

The captain, who was on the other side of the boar saw this scene and immediately became frantic.

He immediately started chasing after the boar and yelling. He was doing everything in his power to draw the boars attention.

However, it was all for naught. The boar didn't even pay him any attention as it kept speeding towards the woman.

It only took a few seconds before the boar arrived in front of her. It drove its hoof into her body, crushing her bones and internal organs.

The woman didn't even have the time to scream before her life was gone. It was a painful death. However, the beast didn't stop.

With its hood through her body, it dragged her body around the rocky terrain until the woman upper torso was eventually separated from her body.

"Ahhh" yelled the captain as he lost his mind. Discarding his own safety, he charged straight for the boar.

He had lost all his teammates to this hateful bor and he would take it down, even if it was the last thing he would do.

He met the boar head on. He roared as his massive saber cleaved into the boars skull, splitting it partially.

The boar shrieked in pain as all the adrenaline from its berserk frenzy was already wearing off.

With one last desperate lunge, it impaled the captain. His eyes widened as he spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing onto the ground.

His eyes were filled with despair and regret before the finally lost their light. He was dead. The boar had singlehandedly dispatched a team filled with multiple golden core formation realm experts.
