《Land of Ilragorn》Chapter 5-The Boar
Advertisement
It's been 2 weeks since we met the filolials, and they have not left us alone ever since.
I have never met a brat as spoiled, stubborn, and as much as a sore loser as the chiefs grandson, I am now level 10, and I only get 40 EXP from one duel, which is equal to eating 20-40 flies/suvunktahs, using mind acceleration makes that easy, though I stopped eating them when I made friends with suvunkilbub.
Mom now hides me in a bush while she goes hunting, she always brings back wild boars, but they are a little different from normal boars, they are low tier behemoths.
I asked her how she got behemoths in the day time and she answered that finding them is easy, look for wreckages and there they are, but they are always asleep in the daytime, so she has to be quiet and kill them when they are asleep. Brutal.
The filolials come back again today, looking annoyed, they were tired of it too, "My son wants to sacred duel you again, so follow me."
I thought about it and said, "No, I still haven't got my prizes from the first duel, come back when you have those," they got more annoyed from that, coming all the way here to go back with nothing, though they had to of seen this coming sooner or later.
"I can't give you something I don't have, why don't you come and get it from the chief himself?"
I realize if I go back there I will be challenged to a sacred duel, "Why don't you make him come here, unless you want the punishment of not complying to the sacred duel,"
"Why you little..." mom stood up, scowling at the filolials, making them back off, "I will see what I can do" They leave.
I ask mom, "can we leave after I get my rewards, that will make it harder for them to find us."
She gives me a sad look, "Sorry, can you wait until you are two months old, they should be back by then," she looks at the sun which is nearly setting, "they will be back."
"Who?"
"Our group, and specifically your father."
Oh yeah, I was gonna ask about that, "Who is my father?"
"A shadow chocobo who would sooner make an enemy of the entire world than yield to authority."
"Then why do you like him?"
She thought about it for a second, then said, "He saved my life."
I laugh, "so cliche."
She gets flustered, "I don't know what chiche means, but it is now on the list of words you can't say."
"What happens if I say it?"
"You will have to duel that little filolial 100 times in the next week, no rest."

That shut me up, though I was thinking, cliche cliche cliche cliche, my father really does sound like me.
The filolials haven't come back for a week, I was now a month old and was growing steadily, about 3-4 feet tall.
It was about time for mom to go hunting, so I was walking towards my hiding bush, but then mom said, "I guess you are sentient, maybe I should teach you how I hunt."
I looked back at her, "really? I can come with you, can I get the last hit on the prey," I haven't gotten much stronger since I met the filolials, and I was excited, though while mom was gone hunting I used magic armor until I couldn't anymore, about 25 minutes, this leveled it up to level 3.
Though it has been six days since it leveled up, I'm guessing it needs to block an actual attack to level it up now.
"Maybe, if the prey is weak enough for me to weaken it enough so you can kill it, I can't promise it though, it depends.
"Fair enough," I was satisfied with that.
We walk about half a mile, and then we see trees that had fallen down in a line like something had charged through them.
We follow the trees to find a large boar, though it is smaller than what mom usually brings, it is about the size of an elephant.
It is just laying down without a worry in the world, right in the middle of some knocked down trees.
I am observing the situation, but mom is already near the head, she quickly smashes her foot against the side of its head, then yells at me, "your turn son."
The behemoth gets up head bleeding, then falls down, then tries to get up again.
I activate magic armor and run at it, despite the magic armor getting bigger, it seems to have made me lighter, I run at it, then try to use crushing beak on its back legs while its attention is on mom, it donkey kicks me.
"Magic Armor LVL 3 leveled up to LVL 4"
I only go back a couple feet, probably because of the armor, its attention is still mostly on mom.
Mom looks at me in concern, but refocuses on the behemoth when it groggily charges her, "You okay, you sure you can do this?"
"I got this."
I try to run, but start limping, I use recovery magic on myself, but it is still LVL 1, so it doesn't help without multiple uses.
"Recovery magic heals injured leg, recovery 100%"
I activate mind acceleration, don't know why I forgot about it before. I rush it again with the same plan.
It thinks I am the same as before so he donkey kicks again, but with mind acceleration, he is so slow, I dodge and wait for his leg to land.

I use crushing beak, it crushes his leg.
"Crushing beak LVL 1 levels up to LVL 2"
He struggles to stand so I use crushing beak on his front leg that he is focusing his balance on. He falls on the ground.
Breathing hard I hear him say, "What happened... why young one... when I was sure I injured your leg... and made sure you were weak... how did you suddenly get stronger..."
"You can talk?"
"Hurry, I want to know how I was beat before *COUGH COUGH* I die."
"I have a skill that allows me to steal others peoples skills when I kill them, I ate a fly and stole mind acceleration," I didn't feel the need to hide anything in front of him, he sounded old, probably survived through a lot of things and was just born weak, poor guy.
That was my mistake.
"HAHAHAHAAHHAAHAA stupid bird," He started glowing green, his wounds were healing.
I had already dropped my guard and got hit with its tusk, piercing all the way through my right-wing.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," all I could do was scream, my wing was stuck, and he was waving me around causing more pain.
"Acquired skill: Pain Resistance LVL 1 (LVL 1 mildly resists pain, LVL 5 Moderately resist pain, LVL 10 evolves into pain nullification."
That helped almost none, I couldn't think because of the pain, I instinctively tried pulling my wing off, but I was stabbed to far.
"HAHA stupid bird, I also have a starter skill, my skill gives me a burst of healing magic if I hear how I lost, so it's your fault you and your mother will die."
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH," then I see mom in an instant right in front of me, she takes me off of the tusk and smacks the wild boar in one smooth motion.
Mom puts me down on the ground and I get a good look at her, all of her feathers are standing up and her eyes are pure red without a speck of intelligence.
She gets in a charging position and then runs to the boar in a instant.
The boar had just got up from an impact with a tree, but mom then hits him into the tree again and continues to hit him up, after about 10 hits in the air she smashes him into the ground and launches three large fireballs to chase him, all hitting.
Mom lands and then immediately faints.
"Little bird... I'm sorry... Can you please tell me... these words, 'it is.. because she is... a mother... if you do... I will let you... live if you do..." he is still glowing green, but it is a lot dimmer.
I stay silent, not because of his plea, but because I barely have any energy left, I need to use all of it to heal me and mom, then get us to safety.
"Stupid tiny bird... say the words... if you don't... we will both die..."
I start healing myself enough to walk.
"Recovery magic, healing destroyed wing, recovered 15% "Recovery magic, healing destroyed wing, recovered 16% "Recovery magic, healing destroyed wing, recovered 17%" "Recovery magic, healing destroyed wing, recovered 18%" "Recovery magic, healing destroyed wing, recovered 19%" "Recovery magic, healing destroyed wing, recovered 20%" "Recovery magic LVL 1 leveled up to LVL 2"
My wing looks a little better, but LVL 1 said it can only heal scratches and first aid, and I am losing energy way too fast, I probably will faint before I got to 50%.
I use the energy I have to walk over to mom and start dragging her towards a bush.
"Don't ignore me... ugh screw it... Your gonna die anyway... hey little one... do you think... you could quickly take me out... I bet you can't... steal a skill... I am old so I have a... lot of them..."
I didn't care, I just wanted to get mom to safety, I think they were getting closer.
"Come here... Are you scared... At least one of us will survive..."
Just then the wind picked up, and the ground shook, and then you could hear loud roars.
I finally got us into the bushes away from the roars.
It was the daytime when they ruled, the dragons. Around five as big as the boar and 2 two that are little smaller came. They looked like big velociraptors from J*rr*ss*c W*rld, but in this world they were dragons.
He had healed enough to run, but not fast enough.
"Noooooooooooooooo," he screamed as the dragons reached him to bite into him and claw literal chunks of flesh off of him.
I looked away for a second and then saw another mistake, I had dragged blood all the way from my original spot.
I look at the dinos/dragons and sure enough one noticed it.
It starts slowly walking towards our bush, my heart starts beating way too fast.
It was less than ten meters away when the other dinos are blasted by a beam of light, I look for its source, but I can't see anything.
The dino roars in rage and runs toward the source, it also gets blasted.
Then the source comes out... it's ugly, oh wait, its Suvunkilbub.
I activate mind acceleration, but it causes too much of a toll on my body.
"Dontstrainyourmind,justsitstillKwehzalcoatlandIwilldotherest."
I do as she says and stop using mind acceleration.
"Suvinkilbub is using recovery magic on you, Recovered 100%"
I look at mom and she gets healed too.
Then out of exhaustion, I faint.
