Chapter 243 - Open Sesame

Breath of fire!

Eren executed his fire-element spell close to the boar"s eyes. He had selected that region because the exoskeleton couldn"t cover the beast"s eyes.

"Biyeeeeeeeek!"

The F-Rank boar cried in pain and anger. It had gotten blind at this point. So it let its instincts take over and ran straight towards Renita and Bel.

"This b.i.t.c.h won"t die this easily. I need to do something else."

Eren thought and tightened his grip around the beast"s tusk with his left hand to secure himself on top of the beast as it kept on running. He then took out Diceros-Right that he had just stored inside his ID stone before aiming its tip straight at the beast"s eyes.

Eren had coated his weapon with fire and lightning element spells. But this time it became detrimental to him as the beast sensed mana fluctuations reaching for its blind eyes and tilted its head forward in an exaggerated manner.

The beast also stopped suddenly as he did that action. The force of inertia suddenly turned zero for the beast"s body. But the same could not be said for the adventurer"s body which was riding on top of its head.

Eren was thrown in the air as the beast stopped its advance abruptly. His weapon was just a few centimetres away from the beast"s vulnerable eyes when the beast managed to shake him off of his head.

"d.a.m.n it."

Eren thought as he adjusted himself in the air before safely landing on his two feet some meters away from the beast. He was thrown back a few meters more by the force with which the beast had managed to throw him while his legs were still on the ground.

Eren cursed himself for running fire and lightning element spells through his weapons. He had understood that the mana fluctuations were the reason behind the beat getting tipped off of his attack despite being blind.

"Renita, aim near the d.a.m.n boar"s hooves. Don"t take a shot at it for the time being.

Bel, I know it"ll be tough for you but create one more fire apparition and surround the beast from front and back. Don"t make the apparitions attack it. They are going to serve as a roadblock for the beast."

Eren decides to corner the blind beast using Bel"s fire apparitions. He didn"t like running around with the beast. So he was planning to make it appear as though it"s been boxed.

With Renita sending it warning shots and Bel covering the beast from two directions, the boar had only one way left. And Eren was waiting for it to make use of that path he had specially kept open.

This time, the beast followed Eren"s script. It sensed that its left and right sides were dangerous to approach because of the fire apparitions. The way behind had been blocked by Renita"s warning shots.

The beast brain made the only logical choice it could think of and decided to head towards Eren"s way even when it knew someone was present there. The butcher nodded to himself after seeing that the beast had decided to approach the seemingly least threatening path for itself.

Diceros Left and Right were both called out this time. The butcher knew that since he had attacked its eyes, it would be extra sensitive around that part of its body. So he needed to attack the other vulnerable part of the beast where the exoskeleton didn"t cover the flesh.

"d.a.m.n it. I need to clean my weapons thoroughly after this fight."

Eren"s face suddenly seemed to have the grim shadow cast upon it as he realized what must be done to slay the beast. He activated Blitz Bolt and stacked it. And ran straight at the beast.

It was but a moment"s delay for him to reach the beast. The beast"s tusks were again a few meters away from colliding against Eren"s dual weapons.

But this time, Eren wasn"t looking for another collision. He activated Sedated Perception just before the weapons touched the tusks. The butcher found himself in a stagnated world, with the beast slowly approaching him with reckless abandon.

This time, instead of jumping over the beast, Eren ducked down and moved forward. He crawled beneath the beast"s torso and came out from behind it.

Eren saw that the beast"s genitalia was also covered by the exoskeleton while he was pa.s.sing under it. When he got behind the beast"s back and stood up, he saw the only thing that wasn"t covered by the exoskeleton: the beast"s a.n.a.l opening.

The beast suddenly sensed that the human approaching him from the front had vanished. It was expecting the human to pull the same stunt as he did last time: jumping on top of it and targeting its eyes. So it was ready for it.

But then it sensed that the vile human had somehow gotten under its torso. It was able to sense this since the human"s movement spell had lightning tongues encircling his legs.

The lightning streams would send tickling sensations whenever they were near the beast"s body. So it didn"t need eyes to make itself aware of its existence in the vicinity.

The beast was confused but it couldn"t think of more complicated thoughts than this. It decided to continue on its path.

The boar intended to break the siege after all. Not take part in a battle that it could feel it was going to lose. So it decided to speed up its retreat and join the sounder where it could feel safe again.

It suddenly sensed that a very serious attack was heading its a.n.a.l cavity that was left unprotected by its defensive spell. It wanted to stop and move the back of its torso away from the approaching attack. And it had also set the action in motion to kick the ground by its hind legs to s.h.i.+ft the location of its rear entry away from the incoming attack.

But alas, it was too late for the beast.

When the beast sensed the attack coming, Eren"s attack was already sure to land on its intended spot. The latter had an awkward expression as his plan to molest the beast almost came to fruition.

"Open sesame!"
