《Raven's Tale》Chapter 3 - Battle of attrition
Advertisement
The bear was huge, at least 3 meter tall, had caught sight of them and was preparing its attack, Raven held up his short sword and prepared for the large bear’s attack.There was drool dripping from the bear open mouth, it razor sharp teeth with it red eyes the it's the fearful aura it gave out caused Raven and Yaira to unintentionally back away. It looked like a he was starving and couldn’t wait to have another meal.
This will be harder than, I never seen such a huge monster of a bear
Despite the the size of the beast it front of him raven didn’t intend to back away he knew he needed to get stronger.
"Yaira just follow my instructions we can kill it."
Yaira only nodded she seemed to be shaken by the beast size.
Without even thinking the beast charged at Raven and Yaira, aiming it sharps claws at raven.
Raven rolled to the side while barely dodging the trees the where once behind him where in a instant ripped apart.
What scary strength, he is stronger than I expected, this will be troublesome.
"Raven this is scary we should escape."
Yaira muttered while trembling.
"You can escape, but I wont leave without this guy head."
Raven said with determination as he ran as he could while keeping his head low he aimed his sword at the large bear right foot tendon to limit its movement but before he could the bear with its left paw aimed at Raven.
Raven seeing this halted his sudden attack and instead jumped back and slashed with all his might at the bear paw that had missed him by just the skin of his teeth.the paw was almost cut off, the bear backed for a moment growled in pain he seemed anger seemed to have increased further.

With its paw bleeding like that he should slow down a bit
In a flash the bear started rampaging towards Raven with eyes full of anger, Raven was caught by surprise by the speed the bear still possessed, without time to dodge he twisted his body and tried to use the sword to soak up some of the impact but it wasn't enough, the impact was too strong and raven was thrown a full 10 metres until he hit a tree at full force and vomited blood.
Fuck it still had that much speed and this crazy strength
Raven was in intense pain , he had probably broken a few ribs as the result of the impact.
Raven looking at Yaira she was immobile, she was in a state of vulnerability and fear.
The huge bear ignored Yaira and was slowly coming towards Raven with its huge teeth showing as he though raven was probably done for the bear was preparing to feast on raven body.
As the bear approached raven, it could see raven eyes were still alive and it to finish raven off it raised it huge left paw and prepared to slash raven with all his strength, with the bear preparing to slash Raven, Raven was supposedly doomed.
in the next second the bear left paw was cut off and fell next to Raven. The beast blood spattered everywhere as it backed away in horrendous pain. Raven had fallen sideways and used all his strength to slash the the bear paw off.
The bear instantly fell back with it arm bleeding heavily. Raven was still staggered as a result of the damage but he used the chance the bear gave to regain his senses.
Now that the bear couldn't use its huge paws with incredibly sharp claws, the left one was cut off and the right one was severely cut, still the huge bear intimidating presence was frightening.

Yaira seeing Raven hurt had gained some determination as she grasped the dagger and ran past the bear that was still agonizing towards Raven.
"Are you okay raven she said while helping Raven stand up."
"I am okay, I underestimated him but now we can finish it off."
"What do we do?"
"For now I will draw it attention."
"O-kay" Yaira said with reluctance.
The bear noticing the now standing Raven, snarled and charged at him it was still bleeding but it’s anger far surpassed it’s pain.
"Come at me and prepare to die!" Raven shouted
the bear charging and tried to bite raven but its movement with its head were far slower than it was with it’s paws, with that raven dodged and without wasting a single moment he prepared his counter attack.
Thats it keep exhausting yourself
Raven had dodged and created some distance between himself and the monstrous bear, he was still injured but he couldn’t show weakness or he would die.
"Come on come at me!" Raven shouted and the angry beast charged towards him again, this time the beast was even slower it was probably due to huge amount of blood loss,with its attack being more predictable and slower raven could dodge them with ease while swinging his short sword to slowly damage the large bear.
After keeping up this strategy for the past 10 minutes the bear was exhausted its movement where heavy and its was full of deep cuts on its body, blood spattered everywhere, one last time the large bear charged at raven with it mouth open and its deadly sharp teeth showing but its was extremely predictable and raven just skipped to the side it and aimed his blade at the bear right eye piercing it eye, at the moment the large bear crouched.
"Yaira now!"
With that Yaira who was watching while following Raven fighting the bear came and took the chance to strike both of the legs tendons of the large bear, the bear collapse it had no more energy and couldn’t stand anymore, the blood gushing out quickly formed a huge pool of blood, Yaira looked relieved, It was already night with only the beautiful full moon proving light, It would be hard to leave this dense forest at night.
"Let’s finish him off."
"What you gonna do?"
Raven held his sword and swang it towards the bears neck but, its with its thick neck muscles it wouldn’t be easy Raven struggled and eventually with Yaira help they managed to cut the bear head off.
"Yaira this is our trophy" Raven said in a low voice.
"Raven are okay? "
"I am okay just let me rest a bit" Raven slowly said as he closed his eyes.
"R-Raven!!."
