Chapter 94
94 Assassination (III)
The Horn-Flame Boar Leader slept soundly at the back of the cave, but its posture and the way its ears and snout twitched from time to time made it clear it was still fully alert and ready to battle at any time.
A scorching heat filled the cave, not because of the Horn-Flame Boar Leader but due to the large red ores embedded over the walls. They unleashed powerful fire energy, which benefited the Wave Beast.
Suddenly the Horn-Flame Boar Leader opened its eyes as an ominous feeling assaulted its heart, but although it managed to unleash its Life Wave, it could not dodge the dozen ice arrows that landed on its face.
“AHHH!” The Horn-Flame Boar Leader shrieked in pain as the ice arrows harmed its eyes and snout, hindering two of the most important senses.
That shriek of pain was deafening, and despite the cave being in an isolated location, some Wave Beast should have heard it, alerting the entire horde that someone was attacking the Horn-Flame Boar Leader.
However, the Horn-Flame Boar Leader’s shriek did not alert anyone since something else had happened just as those ice arrows landed on its face.
“?BOOOM!” “?BOOM!” “?BOOM!” “?BOOM!”
Multiple explosions echoed through the forest as the cadets and soldiers unleashed all sorts of loud spells and explosives into the horde, harming many Wave Beasts and making them scream in pain.
The Horn-Flame Boar Leader was not exactly wise, but when it heard the explosion and cries of pain from the horde, it knew that no one would come to help it, no matter how hard it shrieked. That realization only filled the Wave Beast with resolution and killing intent.
.....
Wave Beasts did not live in a structured civilization like humans and faced the law of the jungle from the moment they were born. The Horn-Flame Boar Leader had faced countless life-and-death fights over its life, and it kept rising until it became a mighty Level 5 Wave Beast.
