Love Live Online: A Bard Grudge
The Big Boar III

Nathan sets up a plan after learning so many Big Boars are coming from time to time. If Nathan were a little stronger to be able to overcome all those monsters, he would definitely consider this place an EXP land.

How not, one Big Boar alone had already given them nearly a thousand EXP. If only their numbers were up to 300, then it was certain that they would gain over 300,000 EXP and it was certain that they would reach a high level in a short period of time.

“I'll try something, even if it's not too perfect yet.” Renne whispered to Nathan.

Nathan understood right away, which meant Renne asked him to give her some time to prepare for what she wanted to do.

“I'll buy as much time as possible,” Nathan nodded and was very serious.

‘Padahan — ah, never mind.’ Inner Renne.

Renne actually intended to hide it. He did not intend to use it at this time as it was specially prepared to fight a powerful monster like a dragon named Zmaj.

Nathan dispels his whereabouts and so quickly darts, providing an attack by eyeing the vital points of some of the Big Boars that are there.

“Look at that, the two humans are trying desperately to be able to live.” Big Boar King laughed.

Out of annoyance, Nathan intended to bring out his ultimate skill and attack the Big Boar King. But he remembered the previous events. The piggy bank must have prepared a special kind of trick to return to do something that he had done before.

Nathan doesn't want to come back off guard, so he just decides to protect Renne until the preparations made by the girl are done.

On the other hand, Renne occasionally dodged the Big Boar that managed to break in from Nathan's attack range. He opened an inventory and took out some seeds that he had prepared some time ago.

The seed itself has a name and is a dangerous plant if it grows to be very large. The plant is a type of vines and is able to absorb life energy and have time to grow in just a matter of hours.

The problem right now is about the length of time for the plant to grow, but take it easy. Renne had already prepared a very useful skill to ignore that and also control it.

Nathan who realized that did not react in the slightest. He knew that Renne must have been planning something that he couldn't have expected.

Renne threw the seeds in all directions and activated a skill that she had never used at all because it was a huge drain on MP.

“Music of Life!”

Music of Life, a skill Lany taught specifically to Renne. This skill itself serves to increase the growth of certain plants and control them at the same time, also providing buff effects to colleagues within a scope of several meters. The drawback is because this skill is very wasteful, both in the use of MP and cooldown.

The chant of the song that comes out of Renne's harp game sounds so beautiful and soft than Sleeping Lullaby, making some other plants also sway and affected.

Suddenly the seed grew into a bud and became bigger than before. After the entire tens to hundreds of seeds grew to become extremely large, Renne began to control them, and made the thing her refuge as well.

Renne moved the plant here and there, absorbing the life energy of the entire Big Boar that he was aiming for. Nathan was the same, thanks to Renne's Music of Life skill, he became stronger than ever.

That was anticipated by Nathan. He did not have to worry anymore if the Big Boar King was back using the same trick because Renne himself was already in the protection of planting his own vines.

“Conviction Combo!”

A skill that increases speed and adds damage power up to several times. Killing an enemy within a period of 20 seconds would increase the entire attribute to 25%.

Nathan resisted Big Boar King's attack using both of his daggers, then he took out the Stealth skill and tried to butt.

Nathan's attack was then successfully avoided by Big Boar who had anticipated it. It's just that, when the piggy bank intends to attack Nathan, Renne interrupts by moving one of the vines.

‘Almost just!’ inner Nathan.

Nathan then sneaks back in when he realizes his Stealth skill has crossed the cooldown line. He threw his dagger at high speed, but all of his attacks were averted.

“You think such a way would work to hurt me?” Big Boar King laughed.

“Poison Daggers!”

A green-colored liquid believed to be poison began to come out to smear every part of the dagger possessed by Nathan. The man then darted quickly to the right and left to confuse his opponent's vision.

The trick used by Nathan was successful because the Big Boar King was unable to keep up with Nathan's speed using his eyes. He had an attack right in the abdomen and had a little bleeding.

That was enough for Nathan, all he needed to do was make sure that the poison had spread throughout the monster's body.

At the same time, the Big Boar King groaned in pain. He suddenly caught his own soldiers and ate them. This made Renne and Nathan shocked at the same time.

‘Canibals,’ their inner both at the same time.

Renne knew if it was done to increase the power of the Big Boar King and eliminate various negative effects. By eating his own companion, a monster would become extremely powerful.

After some time, the other Big Boars started crowding the Big Boar King and were willing to be eaten. Then Renne did not want to let it happen just like that, he quickly moved the plants so that the monster did not become stronger again.

Nathan was like that too, he again ran towards Big Boar King and unleashed the Wind Cutter skill. However, suddenly a barrier appears and floats Nathan along with the vines controlled by Renne.

Big Boar King laughed, “It's too late, man! I've become even stronger!”

A black sphere surrounded the Big Boar King. Renne knew that, the Big Boar King was going through an evolutionary process that would make him even stronger than before. Disturbing now is also a useless thing because the monster is now transparent for some time.
