Chapter 325: Legendary Sword
After emptying the gigantic boar's health points, he received notifications stating that he killed it and that he received Experience Points.
At that moment, Eman heard a hum coming from the oak tree.
When he looked at it, he saw the tree shaking for a few moments as if possessed by a strange spirit. And from the hanging beehive, dense miasma burst out all of a sudden. They looked like they were swirling around it but in reality, they scattered around.
The trees around started swaying as well as if a strong wind brushed them. However, what was more surprising was that there wasn't even a slight wind.
The forest suddenly shook and there were loud noises that sounded like heavy footsteps.
The noise came from all directions as if he was surrounded by it.
At that moment, the gigantic boar that he thought he killed, suddenly wriggled fiercely.
Eman was taken aback.
"Hey, System, isn't it supposed to be dead? How is it still alive?"
This sight baffled him. Moreover, with zero percent in its health bar, how come it was still moving?
Eman was overwhelmed with shock. What kind of horror is this?
<Sorry, Host, there's little information so far. But I'm sure it's already dead.>
If even the System didn't know the mystery behind it, then this was not something he could understand as well.
"Don't tell me it turned into undead?" Eman frowned.
After a "hong" sound, the earth spikes that were impaling the gigantic boar were crushed after some furious shaking of the gigantic boar's massive body.
Blood splattered from the gigantic boar's wounds. However, it didn't seem like its injuries were bothering or hurting it.
Besides that, around him, Eman felt many presences.
One by one, pairs of glaring red objects appeared in the darkness, which he thought were ferocious eyes.
Before Eman could move, the gigantic boar suddenly came bolting at him again. He noticed that it was faster than before.
Eman summoned earth blades and shot them at the charging gigantic boar. The earth blades turned into red-orange lights, piercing through the air.
They successfully hit and pierced through the boar's skull. However, there wasn't any reaction from it, as though his attack didn't hurt.
This made Eman realize that the gigantic boar was unaffected by any physical attack.
<Watch closely, Host. Black energy enveloped the entire body of the gigantic boar. That thing must have something to do with its abnormalities.>
Like System said, the entire body of the gigantic boar was enveloped in black energy.
"Is that a miasma?" As he asked this, the gigantic boar was right in front of him.
<A stronger one. Caused by strong murderous and killing intent.>
Eman knitted his brows when he heard it. The gigantic boar was already right in front of him once again.
In this situation, even if he moved away, he would still definitely get hit.
In an instant, the dirt was scattered and the trees were crushed by the force of the gigantic boar's assault. It was like a speeding train running at full speed.
Eman suddenly disappeared from his position. In an instant, he appeared and landed on the gigantic boar's back.
He managed to dodge the gigantic boar's assault by using an instantaneous leap, one of his assassin subclass skills. While perched on top of the gigantic boar, Eman used the <Stun Finger> skill. A strong electrifying force flowed through from his fingers to the gigantic boar's body.
The gigantic boar did not react but it stopped moving. This was a good sign. But before Eman could breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes widened and he suddenly jumped into the air.
Suddenly, the gigantic boar writhes and jumps as if it wants him to fall. While in the air, Eman suddenly disappeared again.
Like a phantom, he reappeared behind it with ten steps of distance between them.
There was a look of shock on his face. Even his <Stun Finger> skill didn't work on it either.
What wonder is this? Eman grumbled inwardly.
This was his first time fighting this kind of enemy. Maybe it was indeed an undead. But, even the undead might not be able to withstand being pierced in the head. And this one, even though its head was pierced by earth blades, it was still lively. His attack had no effect.
Eman glanced around. He also wondered why the other enemy hadn't attacked him yet. From their smell, he was sure that they were also wild animals like gigantic boars. However, their presence is different from ordinary wild animals. Their presence is no different from the gigantic boar.
Their silence gives him anxiety. They seem to be waiting for the right opportunity, or perhaps they are gauging his abilities. This sent goosebumps into his skin.
The only good thing about his situation was that the gigantic boar only had a simple attack pattern, which was easy to dodge as long as he didn't make an error in his moves.
After he thought about it, a massive shadow overshadowed him from the sky. The gigantic boar suddenly jumped high into the air.
Eman's eyes widened in disbelief. When did it learn to do that? He couldn't stop himself from asking this inwardly.
When it landed, he thought a ship had fallen from the sky. A loud crash erupted that shook the ground. In a radius of 100 meters from where the gigantic boar fell, you can see the terrible fate of the land. The ground cracked and crumbled. A chill ran down his spine as he looked at the massive crater in front of him.
He was sure that the reason why the ground had such a big crater was not only because of its weight.
At the center of the crater, he saw the gigantic boar standing. It seemed unhurt.
It suddenly rushed in his direction, rumbling as it was climbing the slope of the crater.
While Eman was confused, the gigantic boar if it was in its right mind would surely be confused too because all its attacks were quickly avoided by the human opponent.
Eman sighed. With a flick of his fingers, a white silvery sword appeared in his hand. Its color made it look translucent, but it truly wasn't.
The sword was emitting a silver aura that felt like ice fumes. It wasn't cold though.
Using one hand, he waved it at the approaching gigantic figure.
From the sword, along with a "hong" sound, a white energy in the form of a crescent moon shot straight. It flew in the blink of an eye, passing through the body of the gigantic enemy.
A second later, silence descended. There was a noticeable long and deep slit on the ground where the crescent white energy landed.
On the other hand, the gigantic boar stopped on its track. A thud was heard. It turned out to be the gigantic boar; it fell to the ground.
Something surprising happened. The body of the gigantic boar could be seen split in two!
Eman was shocked as well. He did not expect the power of this legendary sword to be so amazing.
"That Spirit Discharge is so strong!" Eman exclaimed in high spirits.
Spirit Discharge is the ability of the legendary sword, Spirit Sword.
Looking at the gigantic boar. It looked like it finally died this time. Or maybe it was more correct to say that it was finally stopped.
The dark energy surrounding it has also disappeared.
<Spiritual attack is indeed effective against it.> System said.
Eman nodded in agreement.
"That means it didn't become undead but was controlled by another element."
<Dark spirit.>
After saying that, they suddenly heard a scream coming from the tree. Its scream was terrifying and eerie as if it came from the cemetery.
Eman noticed that the red eyes around him were glowing brightly. At the same time, the intense murderous aura spread around.
Without wasting time, he quickly ran away toward the opposite direction of the beehive.
He didn't need to look back to find out what those rumbling noises were behind him.
The forest became noisy because of their chase. Eman also noticed that the bees had joined in chasing him.
Since they were no longer chasing after Sphin, he unsummoned her.
Using his speed coupled with the use of instantaneous leaps, he was able to escape his pursuers.
Eman quickly resummoned Sphin. They didn't directly fly in the direction of the town. They headed in a different direction.
Once confirmed that the enemies were no longer chasing him, just then they flew in the town's direction.
The next day, Eman immediately informed Rowan of what happened that night.
In Rowan's office, he and Eman were talking. This time, Zennie, Zoey, and Sol were with them.
"You said an oak tree in the northern part of the forest?"
"Yes," Eman nodded.
"You are right. There is indeed an oak tree there. But it was more than a mile away from here. And it's in a dense part of the forest. Besides that, our ancestors once said that oak tree was a very mysterious oak tree unlike any other oak tree. And you know what?
They also said that once it absorbs enough Yang Energy, it will be approached by spiritual creatures."
"I see." Eman touched his chin and pondered. Maybe the scary noise he heard was from a spiritual creature.
"But why did the beehive go there and what is it doing there? Do you think the oak tree has a connection with it?" Zennie suddenly asked.
