The Craftsman 313 First Beast Down

Daedalus knew that this was a chance his teachers had set up for him to show his progress. So he had chosen the long sword, Icarus his longest lasting weapon was a short sword, so Daedalus chose to use a two handed weapon.

It wasn't that he was bad at using the specific type of sword, it was simply that he didn't practise as much with the lesser mobility weapons like a two handed long sword. Putting all of this to the back of his mind Daedalus focused on the opponent in front of him.

His senses might have been dull because of the lack of mana however his natural hearing and eyesight, as an elf and dwarf hybrid was good enough to keep up in a battle against someone or something with the same level of strength. As the boar ran past him due to the flexible dodge that he had performed Daedalus took advantage of the momentum and stabbed at its flank. As he did this the tip of the sword was at an angle that could be described as aimed in the direction the boar came from.

Due to this the boars left hind leg was slashed deeply causing it to yowl in pain. As it turned to face Daedalus again the look of rage in its eyes burned even brighter. It new that even if it survived it could very well be scarred for the rest of its life.

Thus with a howl it charged again, this time it was prepared to sidestep in a way that if Daedalus tried to dodge again he would be skewered on one of its tusks. If a beast could think this far it was clear it wasn't just strong, but Daedalus couldn't here its thoughts.

Unfortunately for the boar Daedalus felt that something was off, like a premonition and jumped up rather than dodging to the side. As he did this he placed the longsword back into his spatial pouch and brought out an axe.

This axe was made out of steel the same with the rest of the tools he had been given. It was also considered by his axe teacher as his weapon, although his axe teacher wasn't here as he was with the rest of the medium ranged combat teachers.

As Daedalus had jumped he had managed to get an amazing twelve metres off of the ground. With the boar charging with its head down Daedalus had managed to acquire a trajectory with its spine. Daedalus through any hesitation he had aside and put his full strength into delivering a blow to its back.

And the ma.s.sive spine was cut in half, at the cost of a pretty good axe, even if it was made with poor materials. Daedalus knew this would be a problem in the long run because he only had the one axe, and his teachers had only let him take extra materials with him to build a house for the time he stayed in the mountain.

So he sighed and began to slowly make his way farther into the mountain. It was a very lush and overgrown forest where he had been dropped off so Daedalus took out a short sword to make his journey a little easier.
