Chapter 776 A Battle To Prove Oneself!

-----

"Found it." Luck thought, his eyes shining brightly within the shadows of the forest.

Hiding himself within the bushes, he stood in silence as he glanced a large beast, of over three and a half meters of height, graze around the forest floor, smelling the floor with its huge snout, looking for mushrooms or any dropped fruit in the floor.

He had covered most of his body with mud, so his scent wouldn\'t be easily detected by the Wild Boar, and he had covered his body with leaves to fool it as he slowly approached its back.

While the beast slowly began sniffing the floor, and as it gave him its back…

"Now!" He thought, immediately emerging out of the bushes and pointing his wooden spear at the Wild Boar.

CLAAASH!

The spear immediately pierced the Wild Boar\'s back with all his strength! For a few seconds, Luck celebrated, thinking he had done it…

Yet.

"GRUOOOOOOHHH!!!"

The Wild Boar, with a spear stuck on its back muscles, roared, immediately charging at Luck with all of its might!

"I-It didn\'t die yet?!"

Unlike small Wild Boars, which were mostly infants, an Adult one had tough enough back muscles to easily survive a measly spear attack.

TRUM! TRUM! TRUM!

The giant beast\'s steps made the forest tremble as it furiously charged against him. With horror, Luck quickly climbed up a tree, fearing the beast\'s anger.

"GRUOOOHH!"

CRAASH!

CRAAASH!

CRAAAASH!

The Wild Boar started hitting the tree\'s furiously, as the tree gained several cracks right away, which spread upwards into the tree\'s entire body.

"D-Dammit!"

CREEAAAAK…!

BAAAM…!

The entire tree ended falling down into the forest, as Luck had to jump away before he were to land on the floor head-first.

"GRUOOOOHHHH!"

The Wild Boar immediately started chasing him from behind, Luck tried to climb another tree, but the Wild Boar was much faster. He had to quickly evade before getting his legs pierced by the boar\'s tusks!

CRAAASH!

"GRUOOHHHH! GRAAH!"

The Wild Boar, however, got its tusks stuck into the tree!

"Eh? This is my chance!" Luck thought, instantly rushing towards the Wild Boar\'s back, only to barely evade a kick from the beast\'s back legs.

CLASH!

"S-Shit!" Luck gritted his teeth, leaping like a wolf would do over the beast\'s back and then grabbing the spear out of the back!

With blood dripping off the spear\'s sharp end, Luck smiled, finally having his weapon back on his hands.

"H-Hahh… I got it!" Luck roared, quickly pointing the spear at the Boar\'s neck this time. "Just… die already!"

CRAAASH!

"GRYEEEEEHHH! GRUUOOOOHHH! GRYEEEEHHHHHH…!"

The Wild Boar finally felt agony as it screamed its lungs out like a pig would scream before getting slaughtered. It began hitting the tree continuously, as Luck realized a single stab wasn\'t enough, he started stabbing the boar in the neck and back several times.

"Ugh…! RAAAAAHHH!!!"

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

"GRUOOOHHHH…!"

However, the Wild Boar, using its insane, monstrous vitality, finally managed to throw Luck away from its back. The young Wolf Anima boy landed on the floor, rolling over it like a ragdoll.

BAAAAMM…!

"Ungh…!"

Luck suddenly felt he broke one of his ribs, as he vomited a mouthful of blood. His vision became fuzzy, and he could barely move his arms, while the rest of his body felt… completely paralyzed.

"A-Ahhha… Ugh…"

"GRRRRHHH…"

The Wild Boar slowly started walking towards him, covered on all the wounds he had caused him, and bleeding severely. It wasn\'t going to live much longer, but the wretched beast wanted to make sure he would die first.

"N-No… I can\'t die like this…" Luck thought, but his consciousness was slowly fading.

The memories of his life began passing through his mind. The moments he enjoyed with his brother, surviving as much as he could, as he always tried to make him smile. And everything else was just… with Lara.

Her smile, her giggles, her surprised face, the times she pranked him, and the times he pranked her back. The laughter, and her eyes filled with hope.

"I want you to come with me to an adventure! There\'s a whole wide world outside!" Lara said, smiling cheerfully as usual.

"Come on, cheer up Luck, I\'m sure things will get better. We have to keep working hard and keep trying. Trust me." His brother smiled.

Those memories flashed through Luck\'s mind, as he faced imminent death.

"L-Lara… Big brother…"

Although his body was telling him to give up, and that there was simply no other chance for him to move again, or to do anything at all… He continued striving, he continued trying.

He couldn\'t die here… He couldn\'t die like this. He had his big brother and Lara, two precious people on his life…

"Move… move, you damn body… Move… Gods! Anybody… Please… At the very least… Help me move this damn body!" Luck roared, suddenly, he felt an electrifying zap run through his entire body.

ZAAAP!

"Ugh?!"

FLASH!

And then, his entire mind landed somewhere else… A jungle filled with verdant nature, and animals everywhere. And greeting him in the middle of this sanctuary of life was a beautiful, tall woman, as tall as a mountain, wearing white robes.

Her skin was bright white, almost a bit pink. Her long brown hair shone brightly, and her eyes were emerald, green, shining like real jewels, animals of al types gathered around her, and as he noticed further, larger animals he had never seen before, Ancient Beasts sat around him, their sharp eyes glaring at him with the fierceness of nature.

Luck couldn\'t speak, he simply could see everything unfold, as this beautiful goddess and the divine beasts surrounding him unleashed bright threads of light, that reached his very soul.

FLAAAASH!

"Awaken, King of the Beasts." The woman said, as the other Beasts lowered their heads before him. "The Path towards the strength you\'ve been born with has been opened."

"My… own strength?" Luck thought, as his mind quickly went back to his body.

FLUOOSH!

A golden light started flowing across his entire body, there was no longer any more pain on his legs, and he felt oddly connected with the entire forest now… it was as if he could see and hear anything.
