12 Tricky Boar (1)

'How aggressive!'

Regained his composure, 'the crossbowman' did not try to avoid the ramming at all.

He instead confronted him directly and directed his crossbow towards the boar.

Concentrating the energy around his arm, a projectile came out from the crossbow.

The projectile hit the boar right between its tusk. But as if it didn't feel anything, the boar continued the attack without reducing its speed at all.

'Ugh!'

Directly being hit on the belly, the crossbowman flew some meters away.

'What is this!'

He flustered with what was just happened.

While feeling pain in his stomach, he tried to stand up as soon as possible, expecting another attack from the aggressive wild boar.

'!!'

What he saw after he regained his composure was very different from what he had experienced a while ago.

There was still a boar right in front of him, but it was facing the other way.

The color was different from before! The color that was previously like any ordinary boar in the real world was now white, her body size was also smaller.

Shaking his whole head and rubbing his eyes. He was silent for a few moments. Flustered.

'Am I daydreaming? Where was that big boar?'

He checked his current health. About 25% of his HP bar reduced.

'Is it a kind of illusion attack?'

He quickly observed the white boar that leisurely walk away from his direction.

'Palemoon Boar huh?'

The notification box that appeared in front of him showed very little information about it.

Besides the name, The other information below it said 'Rarity: Unique'.

The crossbowman ready his weapon again.

Shuu!

An arrow-like projectile flew again. But this time, the arrow just passing through the boar's body.

Flustered, the crossbowman only cursed inside his mind.

'What the hell is going on!'

Right after that, the boar turned to him and began to enlarge.

It became the same aggressive boar from before.

'It... it's a bit tricky.'

Tried to grasp the situation. Some theories came upon his mind.

The big brown aggressive boar directly charged him again. Readying his stance, he shot the projectile again. But this time he was already prepared to dodge the charge.

The boar hit nothing.

The crossbowman then quickly turned his head to the boar's direction after successfully dodge rolling from the ramming boar.

'!'

Flustered by what he saw right in front of his eyes, he tried his hardest to run for his life.

The boar had already on its way to give him another hit!

'Shit!'

Bruakk!

A nice sound came from two solid things collided.

He stands on his feet again after flew a few meters.

'Haah~'

With a sigh, he picked up a potion from his inventory and drunk it.

"Okay, you damn 'unique' boar. I hope you give me nice rewards."

Now, he was sure of how this 'unique' boar 'works'.

Picked up a stone from the ground. He throws it to the 'pale color boar'.

The stone just flew through the boar's body like before.

While the boar changed its form again, now the crossbowman followed it up with another projectile shots. But the projectile just passed through like before.

"Aah.. he is still in iframe condition huh."

Iframe conditions stand for invisibility frames. Means how many frames of an animation a character was completely invincible from others attack. A common terms in action games and other genres too.

The boar had completely changed to its aggressive form. Few arrow-like projectiles directly came to its face. On its opposite side, a human with his crossbow on his arm rapidly shot to its direction.

The boar flinched a bit but quickly charged the crossbowman.

The human still rapidly shot the boar but while the boar was coming his way. Like it didn't feel anything, it still aggressively charged him.

After the boar was very close, the human avoided his attacks by sidestepping to his side and still not stop shooting with his crossbow.

The boar who did nothing stopped abruptly and quickly changed its direction.

"Ugh! He changed the direction just like that."

The human was a bit flustered by the current situation but still shot the boar endlessly.

The current outcomes happened for some other minutes.

'He is so tough! Expected from unique monster!'

A few minutes passed and now the human just stands still and prepared for the hit.

The boar then successfully hit him.

And he flew again.

'Ugh! I have prepared for this hit but it feels stronger than the previous impact."

His HP reduced by about 45% this time from this only hit.

"I guess you hit harder the more I hit you huh. Well, I can't help it. My mana is almost depleted."

He sat still by watching the small white boar in front of him acted like nothing happened after he rammed him that hard.

He replenished his HP by drinking another potion and waiting for his EP to replenish itself over time.

"Haha, this damn boar. It is very lucky for me to meet a 'unique' monster as my first encounter. And this class too... two consecutive times. What will happen to me in real life?"

Giggled while wandering on his own mind. Remembered how there were some jinxes about how luck occurred. When you were lucky ingame, you couldn't complain about unlucky stuff in real life.

That was the famous jinx when the gacha game was so popular worldwide. Of course, it was not entirely accurate but that was the popular inside joke nowadays.

The crossbowman then came back on his stance again. He was readying for another round.

"Okay, let's go for another round pig! You better give me a worthy reward."

He began the attack as before. He has become used to the pattern and played more and more effectively now.

But after a few minutes passed. The 'Palemoon Boar' in its aggressive state stopped moving while staring fiercely at the human.

"What now?"

Rooaarr!!

With a loud roar, the boar enlarged again. In terms of size, it just grew a bit, but the color has significantly changed to a very mesmerizing color. Silver color sparkling with some brownish aura on its limbs and tusks.

"Damn... that's a cool transformation you have there!"
