Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Charging Boar King
With her previous experience, Catherine reacted much more calmly this time.
Catherine, who had stood out from the otherwise hidden grass, undoubtedly disturbed the big boar who was eating, and the stupid big boar looked at the woman in front of him and let out a low roar of dissatisfaction.
"Humph......"
The boar made a dash, and this time, Catherine calmly slashed her sword sideways in front of her.
"Phew!" A crisp voice sounded.
The fangs of the big boar collided with the giant bone sword, and Catherine, who kept her center of gravity stable, blocked the opponent's attack very easily, and then pushed back violently, and the poor big boar was easily knocked to the ground.
The big boar that turned over and fell to the ground struggled to get back up, but it was not so easy, and he struggled for a while but couldn't get up.
According to Wenlong's previous experience, now is the best time to attack. So Wen Long did not hesitate to give an order to Catherine.
"Well done! Now, kill it! Meow! ”
Anyway, Wenlong's purpose of testing his double knives had been achieved, so he didn't bother to do it himself, but handed over this opportunity to Catherine. Wen Long believes that Catherine, who has overcome the psychological barrier, should be able to successfully complete this task, and this is also a rare opportunity for Catherine to practice.
"Okay."
Catherine raised the great sword in her hand high as if she had made a great determination, and at this moment, the giant bone greatsword made of bones gave people an amazing momentum.
"Ahh Catherine shouted.
Then the greatsword fell.
It's not a move at all, it's just a simple feeling like a farmer swinging the hoe in his hand, and the giant bone sword brings amazing destructive power.
The weight of the greatsword itself, combined with the power of Catherine's two-handed swing, fell at breakneck speed.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, a large amount of rubble and dirt flew up, leaving a deep ravine in the ground. However, the big boar, which was still rolling on the ground, was unharmed.
Just now, at the same time as the big sword fell, the body of the big wild boar also rolled, and the big sword that was supposed to hit the big wild boar also fell into the air at this moment.
The blade of the giant bone sword was almost attached to the back of the big boar, but except for cutting off a few pig hairs, it did not hurt the big boar in the slightest.
"Ah, yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Cat, I missed it." The crimson face showed that Catherine was visibly ashamed.
"Shut up, I've seen it, meow."
Wen Long helplessly put his hand on his forehead, and then muttered to himself.
"Forget it, I'm also at fault, it's that I expect too much from you...... I naively thought that you, a woman, could reach the level of an ordinary human as long as she overcame psychological barriers......"
The greatsword has amazing destructive power and good defense, but it also has a fatal weakness, which is the slow frequency of attacks.
Because of the slowness of the attack, it is often more difficult for the greatsword to hit the target when attacking. In other words, the greatsword belongs to the kind of heavy weapon that misses many times, but once it hits, it will not die and be disabled.
As an experienced old hunter, Wen Long can naturally rely on his own experience to predict the actions of his prey, just in that case, if it was Wen Long himself, he could completely use the three-stage charged attack of the big sword that required more time to prepare, and he was not afraid of losing the target.
Therefore, Wen Long naturally thinks that even a novice like Catherine, facing a big wild boar that has fallen to the ground and will not be able to get up for a while, should not lose his target if he uses a faster ordinary attack.
But it turned out that Wenlong's prediction was wrong.
Generally speaking, the three-stage charged attack is the most powerful of the greatsword moves, and it takes the longest preparation time, but that is the case for a veteran like Wen Long.
For novices, because they are not familiar with the moves, and they have not been systematically trained, even ordinary attack moves will contain too many redundant moves, resulting in a decrease in attack speed. So much so that a newcomer's normal attack often doesn't take any less time than a veteran with a charge shortening skill.
And Catherine is clearly such a newcomer.
Coupled with the fact that Catherine would only focus entirely on how to concentrate her forces and neglect how to hit the target more accurately, these two reasons combined to cause this almost all-out blow to be dodged by the big boar with one rollover.
"Looks like I'm too eager for quick success...... In addition to defense, I should have taught this woman some basic greatsword attack techniques before this, otherwise it wouldn't be like this......"
At this time, Wenlong couldn't help but regret his decision.
Thinking of this, Wen Long cast his gaze into the distance again, and then said to himself: "It's just now...... Looks like there's no time left, meow. ”
For just now, Catherine's astonishing blow hit the ground with a loud noise, and this loud noise echoed in the woods, and the birds in the trees were all startled and flew up, and naturally there was also such a group of great wild boars and their leader, the great boar king!
Originally, Wen Long thought that this was a safe enough area not to alarm the Great Boar King in the distance, but now it seems that Wen Long still miscalculated.
Although Catherine's blow did not hit the target, the resonance was far beyond Wenlong's expectations. The alarmed Boar King and his men also searched the direction of the sound to find the location of Wenlong and Catherine.
According to Wenlong's plan, he was supposed to bring a few more big wild boars over to rob and kill, and then consider hunting the big wild boar king, but now it seems that this plan has come to naught.
"Get ready, woman, I may not have time to protect you later...... Meow. ”
Looking at the herd of wild boars that rushed over with the Great Boar King, Wen Long said to Catherine.
At this point, Wen Long's previous tactics of wanting to attract the big wild boars one by one failed and had to face the big wild boar army with a total of eight head-on.
"Eight big wild boars and a big boar king rushed over together, and even if they barely killed one, they would be torn to pieces by the fangs of the other big boars...... It's not fun...... Meow. ”
Wen Long knew that even in the game, the group charge of the Great Boar King plus several Great Boars was definitely not easy to deal with. What's more, this big wild boar king is not an ordinary wild boar that can be compared to the existence, just the super weight weighing a ton and the fangs thicker than a human arm are enough to prove that he can be called the king of wild boars.
Wen Long even felt that such a big wild boar king launched a charge, which could simply be called a rampaging tank!
The situation at this moment made Wenlong, a veteran, couldn't help but sweat, and then looked at Catherine, who was undoubtedly even more nervous and stammered a little when she spoke.
"Cat...... Mr. Cat, what should we do now? ”
"What else can I do? Meow. Wenlong asked rhetorically.
"Huh?" Catherine didn't expect Wen Long to ask herself, and she was stunned for a moment, but immediately after, Wen Long shouted loudly.
"Run, of course! A sucker! Meow! ”
