Chapter 17: The Magic Apprentice

In the overgrown bushes, the young mercenary calmly faced the first hunt in his life.

The furious beast roared, crashing into the skinny human in front of it again and again, trying to tear him apart with its fangs and knock him away!

The bushes are home to the black-backed pigs, and their powerful forces plow deep furrows among the bushes and weeds.

In the face of the frantic pounce of the black-backed pig, Arthur has the calmness and composure that a teenager of this age should not have, and he can only dodge the attack at the moment when he is imminent. It seems to be an extremely dangerous process, but every dodge is accurately calculated, and he refuses to waste even a little more effort.

As Arthur dodged, the sharp hunting knife in his hand slashed over the black-backed pig. Although the wounds pierced each time were not deep, after dodging a dozen pounces, the black-backed chaffin's body was covered with more than a dozen wounds that kept gushing blood, and its black mane was already stained with blood.

This scene saw Tony and Angus in the trees in the distance dumbfounded!

Doesn't this kid know that he is afraid? This is clearly practicing with this demonic beast!

You must know that in the face of the crazy black-backed pigs, even the second-level mercenaries can't cope with it, and some first-level mercenaries who are hunting for the first time are even scared to pee their pants.

How did they know that in the eyes of Arthur, who had long been accustomed to seeing more vicious orc warriors in the orc camp, this crazy black-backed chaffar pig was not as vicious as the wolf in the camp.

After another swoop, the black-backed piggy did not rush up again, its body was already trembling slightly, and the incessant blood loss had made it begin to weaken, but its blood-red eyes were still staring at Arthur, and they were still full of tyranny, madness, and anger!

This is the precursor to a complete outbreak of the black-backed pig, and the furious pigs would rather die together than turn around and flee for their lives!

Arthur clenched the hunting knife in his hand again, bowed slightly, and stared at the black-backed piglet with the same eyes on it, and now he was really serious!

Blackback Pig and Arthur suddenly moved at the same time, rushing towards each other.

The running black-backed pig's four hooves jumped up from the ground, and slammed into Arthur from top to bottom from the air with great force.

The force was large enough to knock Arthur into the air, and a pair of fangs could easily pierce the leather armor and open Arthur's chest before he could fly.

Arthur, the black-backed piggy who was facing him, did not have the slightest intention of dodging, and also jumped into the air. Arthur jumped higher than the black-backed pig, and the hunting knife in his hand flashed coldly, and it had already stabbed out like lightning.

The key to life and death is only whether the black-backed pig's fangs will open Arthur's chest first, or Arthur's hunting knife will pierce the pig's body first?

This is the "Death Decision", every move is to put it to death and then live!

But at the moment when a man and a beast collided, a sudden change occurred!

The black-backed pig's head shook violently, and a pair of fangs in its mouth suddenly shot out, like two throwing knives shooting at Arthur's chest and face.

Tony and Angus in the distant trees couldn't help but let out an exclamation, they had forgotten to remind Arthur that although the black-backed hugh was only a first-level magical beast, as long as it was a magical beast, it had a natal magic skill!

The Blackback Pig is no exception, and its natal skill is to shoot out a pair of fangs. Pigs that have lost their fangs have basically lost most of their attack ability, so until the critical moment of saving their lives, the pigs will never easily give up their pair of fangs. Desperately trying so early, it seems that Arthur's previous teasing really made it angry, and the black-backed pigs are already out of anger!

Faced with the fangs that shot at him, Arthur didn't dodge. At such a close distance, even if he wanted to, he couldn't dodge, he just tried to turn sideways slightly in the air, trying his best to avoid the vital points of his body, his arm stretched forward, and the knife stabbed out faster.

A fang slashed across Arthur's cheek in an instant, bringing out a line of bright red blood. The other easily pierced the leather armor on Arthur's chest, and the huge inertia pushed Arthur down hard.

After all, the hunting knife in Arthur's hand did not touch the body of the black-backed chaffin!

As if the last of his strength had been exhausted, the black-backed hog also fell to the ground, its huge head smashing in front of Arthur as he fell to the ground.

Before the black-backed piggy could stand up and attack again, Arthur, who was on his back to the ground, bounced up like a spring, and his body pounced forward, and the one-foot-long blade in his hand stabbed into the pig's eye socket like lightning.

The black-backed pigs shook their heads frantically and let out a hoarse roar.

Arthur gripped the hilt tightly and spun the blade vigorously, smashing the blackback pig's entire brain.

The black-backed hog's body shook to maintain its balance, but after a few attempts, it fell to the ground and never moved again.

Arthur took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.

A fangs were still stuck in his chest, and the blood on his left cheek was still running down, but Arthur didn't have any strength in his body, and the last blow just now had exhausted the last bit of fighting energy in his body!

You must know that the deeds of a mercenary who has just stepped into the threshold of a first-level warrior hunting a first-level demonic beast alone are similar to an old mercenary who got drunk and said that he once hunted a dragon!

Arthur threw his head back with his hands propped up, smirking at the huge oak tree in the distance.

"This little bastard knew we were following behind. Tony couldn't help but curse, and was about to slip down with the trunk in his arms.

"Ah, no!" Angus, who was on the side, suddenly let out an exclamation.

The exclamation was accompanied by a loud roar.

Arthur, who was closer, suddenly turned his head, and his face, which had already lost a lot of blood, became even paler!

A slightly smaller black-backed husk rushed up like a madman, with slightly shorter fangs and a relatively smooth mane on its back indicating that it was a female chaffron.

"Damn, I met a pair of pigs who are in love, this is just here for revenge!" A strange thought popped into Arthur's mind between life and death.

Between life and death, there was a heat in the chest and abdomen, and the last potential in the body was instantly stimulated, and Arthur stood up from the ground with a sudden. The violent movement pulled at the wound on his chest, and Arthur grinned in pain.

Only a few steps forward, Arthur stumbled and fell again, so weak that he couldn't escape!

In an instant, the black-backed pigs were behind Arthur, and a pair of sharp fangs were aimed at its lower back, unleashing a final stabbing blow.

Angus's hunting bow had just been drawn, and Tony's head slammed into the trunk of the tree, a hundred meters away, and it was too late!

At the moment when the black-backed piggy and Arthur collided, a huge fireball exploded between the two, and both of them were shocked and flew upside down!

Level 3 Magic "Burst Fireball!"

Angus and Tony were stunned......
