Chapter 170: Taking Down The Moose Beast Part 3

Seeing the Moose Beast's cries of pain and fury, Damian pitied the beast, but wanted to take it down and was not going to back down.

[I will need to keep striking at its legs and wounding it while trying to suffer the least amount of damage as possible, until I am sure that it can no longer move as quickly and I can take it down from a distance with my bow] planned Damian within his mind.

He could feel some blood beginning to rise in his throat from the slight internal damage he had suffered from the two strikes he had been dealt, but he swallowed it down and his tempered body could handle the damage.

Damian knew that the Moose Beast was not going to leave its territory or give it up to another being, especially not a human, so he was planning to use that to his advantage.

As long as he wounded the Moose Beast as much as he could and aimed at its legs whenever he could, and the Moose Beast didn't want to give up on its territory, Damian could pick it off with his bow.

He had already wounded one of its back legs and although its speed and agility had barely been reduced, the injury would affect the beast more and more as the battle went on and Damian was planning to continue wounding it until it was no longer able to dodge his ranged attacks.

The enraged Moose Beast charged towards Damian with a burst of speed that was faster than what Damian was capable of releasing even with the Flame Burst Skill and aimed to strike Damian with its antlers.

Damian used the Flame Burst Skill and dodge to the side, but as he did so, his side was slashed by the sharp tips of the antlers as the Moose Beast charged by.

It continued charging, then jumped onto a tree and used it to launch itself towards Damian in the air.

Seeing that, Adam formed Fire Ball in his left hand and flung it over to the Moose Beast that would be unable to dodge the attack in mid-air

The Moose Beast blocked the Fire Ball with its antlers, but that was what Damian had expected and wanted it to do.

As soon as the Fire Ball collided with the Moose Beast's antlers, it exploded and pushed back the Moose Beast slightly and stunned it.

While it was stunned, Adam launched himself towards the beast with a large burst of fire under his feet and managed to slash one of its front feet with the Fire Sword that he had formed in his right hand.

The beast let out another shout, experiencing a sharp burning pain on its leg as it kicked out reflexively and hit Damian in the stomach.

Damian was launched tumbling backwards, but stabbed the sword he had formed into the ground  and regained balance before jumping up into a tree to take a moment to rest.

That kick had added onto the internal damage that he had already suffered and his side that had been cut was pouring out quite  a lot of blood since he was still active and in the middle of a battle, causing his blood to flow much quicker.

Taking off his academy robes, Damian's slim, yet surprisingly muscular and toned body was revealed.

All of the scars he previously had, were burnt off by when he had tempered his body using the Flame Medicinal Mixture that formed a fmooth and perfect layer of skin, but now he would have another scar on his side.

Tying his academy robes tightly around his side to put pressure on his wound and reduce the bleeding as he jumped to another branch and kept moving around in the trees, looking for an opening to strike the beast.

However the angry and protective Moose Beast had set its eyes beedy red eyes on Damian and was locked onto his position, ready to defend itself and strike back at any moment.

Jumping down towards the ground, the Moose Beast charged towards where it believed Damian was going to land, ready to strike him with its antlers as soon as he neared the ground.

However just as Damian was about to be struck by the beast's antlers mid-air, he used the Flame Burst Skil to launch himself higher into the air.

Falling downwards with his Fire Sword in hand, Damian struck the beast's back with his full force along with the dorawnwards momenumt, ceealing it a deep and painful wound.

Leavig his sword, that would disinegrate after not being provided a constant stream of energy for a second, Damian off the back of the beast and formed another.

However before he could use it, the angered Moose Beast, that had suffered multiple deep wounds that were accompanied with painful burns, charged towards Damian and rammed its antlers into his bare stomach.

The antlers pierced into Damian's stomach, but since they weren't sharp, and were quite blunt, they didn't dig in very deep.

However it wasn't the piercing of the antlers that hurt Damian, but was the impact of the antlers striking him.

The Moose Beast didn't stop there and with Damian at the end of its antlers, continued charging at its full speed towards a tree, aiming to slam Damian's back into the tree and dig its atnlers deeper into his stomach in the process.

Damian was almost helpless and could get off the antlers that were imbedded in his stomach, but stayed calm as he streamed energy into his feet, ready to activate the Flame Burst Skill.

Doing so will cause him immense pain and widen the wound that the atnlers imbedded in his stomach had caused him, but it would save him from being slammed into the wall with great force and speed and might also damage the Moose Beast instead.

Just as his back was about to be slammed into a large thick tree, Damian activated the Flame Burst Skill and let out a cry in pain, but was shocked and pleased by what happened next.
