Dean quickly set up to climbing the,while Arin found a place to hide where he can have better view of Dean without exposing himself to their prey.
After finding a good concealing place under the tree, Dean proceeded to bring out his hunting bow and poisoned arrows, positioning himself to have good view of his prey, He then proceeded to nock his arrow to the bowstring,Aiming at the spot near it magic core where he knew it will be sure kill, Waiting for the perfect opportunity to release.
Meanwhile, the bear oblivious to the dangers around him was happily munching his meal. Arin then gave Dean signal to release the arrow, striking when distracted.
"One, two, ....
Swoosh...made the arrow as it left the bowstring approaching the unaware bear.
The bear, As if acting on sixth sense, Sensed the approaching danger, moving just in time to cause the arrow to miss it's mark, piercing his right lung instead. Dean quickly let loose another arrow but the alerted bear was ready and dodged causing it meet it's lower left limb.
Enraged, the bear let out a painful roar, looking around for it's assailant. On noticing Dean, it charged toward the tree he was hiding and started shaking it with its prodigious strength.
Dean, disoriented by the failed attack was left stunned and scrambling for his daggers which he kept in his scabbard to defend himself from the enraged bear.
Diving from the tree and aiming for the bear's occipital bone but he underestimated the bear's combat experience as it dodged the attack causing the dagger to dig into its left shoulder, eliciting an enraged howl. The tenrian bear responded with a powerful sweep that sent Dean flying backwards and landing heavily on his back.
"Fuck ... Dean grunted as he quickly stood up to see the bear charging toward him more enraged, then he felt an excruciating pain in his ribs, sensing they might be broken but there was no time to waste because the bear was over him.
With a roar, it attacked with heavy swipe aiming to decapitate his unprovoked attacker in one strike. Dean quickly ducks under the bear's outstretched arm's, escaping by hairs breadth. He quickly counterattacks using his remaining dagger. The attack achieved nothing as the bear's muscles bears the brunt of attack. After he regained his footing, he made another lunge at the bear exposed back but then retreated backwards after noticing heat from bear and it claws recognizing the activation of the bear's innate magic.
Dean then proceeded with caution realizing the danger level of bear increased. He decided to be serious as he used his own techniques, drawing ambient magic from environment into his legs and muscles further increasing his strength and speed.
The two clashed and engaged in a fierce brawl for a minute before retreating to study each other. Dean realizing he can't win with brute force decides to opt for speed and dexterity.
They clashed once again, with Dean feigning an attack on the left ribs of the bear causing momentary confusion, Quickly seizing the opportunity, Dean pulled out the embedded dagger and stabs it further closer to neck of the bear, ducking under bear's arm and then quickly stabbing the other dagger into bear left eye. The bear instinctively made a few erratic strikes, one catching Dean on his chest and propels him backwards. The bear then slowly fell to the ground and Dean lays wasted gasping for air.
