As we enter the forest we immediately started to look for the Tiger Wolf. I told Jarret that we should split up so we can find it faster but it was immediately shut down. He told me that He can't leave a kid like me in the forest with a dangerous Tiger Wolf roaming around. so Jarret suggested we should set up a trap and hunt an animal as bait. after arguing on what we should do we decided that we will do Jarret's plan so we searched the forest to look for bait. after hunting for a few hours we managed to hunt one moose. After hunting a bait, we set a trap for the tiger wolf, we made a pitfall with a corpse of a moose that we Hunted earlier, after setting it up and dug a hole around it then we piled a lot of dried woods and leaves to hide the hole around the moose, we hid a few meters away from the trap to avoid being detected by the tiger wolf. then after waiting for a few more hours the Tiger Wolf finally a arrived and walks towards the dead moose. when it stepped on the pile of dried woods and leaves the Tiger Wolf fell down in the Pitfall. As we thought that we have captured the tiger wolf., we get out from our hiding place. but To our surprise, It climbed up again and roar at us. We didn't have any options anymore but to fight it head-on.
"Claudia, I will take the front, go and cover me from the shadows and make a sneak attack, make sure it will make damage to the monster,"
"got it, but be careful because I don't want to have any casualties in this quest"
"Ok Now., let's go! "
When we decided to fight it head on, we attack it simultaneously to try to damage it but all of our attacks were repelled by the tough skin of the Tiger Wolf. I tried to use my spell shadow spear and air bullets but the Tiger Wold didn't take any damage, so I tried to think of another way while firing Shadow spear and Air Bullets to help Jarret. after thinking for a while I remembered that I have a skill that can paralyze the Tiger Wolf even for a moment and attack it while it was paralyzed, I tried to cast Shadow Bind at the monster, Jarret was sent flying by the Tiger Wolf and was slammed on a nearby tree. and was critically injured by the attack of Tiger Wolf I immediately went in to help him get up and brought out medicine that can boost his regeneration and we run away at the Tiger Wolf so we can regenerate some of our mana.
"Jarret, can you still fight? "
"Yes, this is nothing, don't worry about this. instead, let's think of a plan to kill the Tiger Wolf "
"Don't worry I already thought of a plan but you need to distract it so I can bind it using my Shadow Bind skill. and while it's paralyzed we should attack it with everything we've got"
"okay I'll do something about it but please make it quick."
After that, we lured the Tiger Wolf to an open place to make our attacks more efficient and accurate. After luring the tiger wolf out, I was also finished casting my spell. I placed my shadows in every direction surrounding the tiger wolf.
"Jarrett use your strongest skill now. I finished casting Shadow Bind"
"Just do it! Or I might be killed by this monster at any moment!"
After casting Shadow Bind, it locked down on the Tiger Wolf and it enveloped the TIger Wold making it unable to move even a bit. It was paralyzed by Shadow Bind.
"Jarrett, take it down! NOW!!!"
Jarrett didn't answer me and he looks drowsy but he still went and charged at the Tiger Wolf and launch a barrage of sword attacks. It made a lot of explosions and huge smokes around the Tiger Wolf. When Jarrett finished with his attack he then groups up with me, he looks very exhausted. I then immediately cast all of my offensive spells. Wind Cutter, Wind Bullet, Shadow Spear, dark Sphere and summoned 5 Tornadoes at the Tiger Wolf. and exhausted a third of my mana.
when the tornado dissipated. The Tiger Wolf roared at us like a rumble of thunder then charged at us, all we can do now was to dodge because we were too tired and out of strength to fight it but Jarrett was still fighting the tiger wolf.
When I saw Jarret fighting the Tiger Wolf alone, I felt very depressed because I can't do anything to help him, so when I saw an opening I took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack but it only scratched the tiger wolf.
After a few more minutes of struggle, Jarrett finally collapses then the Tiger Wolf ignored him, and is now focused on me it sent me flying away for a few dozen meters.
After it sent me flying, it walks toward me slowly, and all I can think was, how hopeless I was.
"I can't stand anymore, am I going to die? I don't want to die yet! I still haven't lived here long enough!"
I started to feel fear and despair, like when I was bullied before I reincarnated in this world, at that moment, the tiger wolf reached me and stood there, in front of me, all I did was to sit, while tears flowed on my cheeks like a river, I closed my eyes as if I accepted my death, the tiger wolf open it's mouth wide open as if it wants to devour me whole In a split second that the monster bear its fangs and wants to devour me, I suddenly felt a very strong killing intent with a surging energy brush passed me and I subconsciously opened my eyes to see the tiger wolf being thrown out by the surging energy, at first I didn't see it clearly but after a careful observation it looks like a sword attack. I took this opportunity to muster all the energy that I have to get out of the attack range of the Tiger Wolf, and as I was looking for the source of the strong attack I saw Jarrett standing quite far away from me, he looked like a different his hair color changed into golden yellow and he was enveloped by energy and lightning at that time and I focused all of my attention on him to see what he will do next. when the Tiger Wolf stood up Jarret immediately closed the gap between him and the Tiger Wolf with insane speed. and kicked the Tiger Wolf on its rib and sent the Tiger Wolf flying then Jarret suddenly summoned a giant sword covered with lightning and sliced the Tiger Wolf in half. then the giant sword suddenly dissipated and Jarret collapsed on the ground. I then rushed towards him to see if he was still alive. and held him in my arms
"Jarret!!!! ah.. are you ok!!?"
"ye.. yes I'm fi.. fine don't worry I just need some rest"
after answering me Jarret suddenly fell unconscious then I went to the Tiger Wolfs corps and beheaded it and stored the body and head in my Item Box then I carried Jarret and rushed towards the village so he can be treated as fast as possible. when we finally reached the village I saw that a lot of villagers were standing in front of the gate with a grim face.
"I need Help!!! please treat his wounds immediately"
then the village chief stepped in to see what was happening
"Wha.. what happened to him. did you failed to kill the Tiger Wolf?"
"no., we are successful, don't worry we already killed it so please treat Jarret's wounds as fast as possible"
after giving Jarret to the villagers to start the healing process of his injuries, I went back to the place where we fought the tiger wolf to bring back the head of its corpse to become proof that we killed it, when the villagers saw the head of the Tiger Wold all of them were shocked and happy at the same time. they didn't believe that we could really kill the Tiger Wolf by ourselves and they thought that they would never see us again when we entered the forest.
