Chapter 28: Boss Battle! Against The Giant Ice Bear!

An enormous bear.
It was about… five meters tall.
It was so big and white I thought it was just a pile of snow.
But why would there be a pile of ice in the middle of nowhere?
No… this thing… was one of the other monsters that tormented me every night back then.
Its roars were utterly terrifying, and each time it roared, I heard the cries of agony of the ice wolves.
But this thing is eating… what seems to be an Ice Gator, a Middle Stage Monster, as if it were a mere snack.
What is… the strength of this thing?
I quickly analyze it while I have the time, but I should start running away right after…
…

Oof.
500+ HP?!
The average strength of 300+?!
Who is this? The final boss of this whole Forest or something?!
I am not fighting this… nope, nope, nope.
Bye.
I quickly move away as I begin to run for my life while using the opportunity of the bear eating…
I keep running and running in the opposite direction.
I will just go around him or something…
Also, I am hungry, I have to find something to eat!
I glance at my back.
A large mass of white fur is looking at me.
Its jaws are coated on crimson red blood.
They just finished his meal and came right after me.
He's… fast.
FUCK!
I keep running away, and the fucker finally roars!
"GROOOOOOWL!"
The bear wipes its giant claws and slashes an entire tree in half!
The tree suddenly begins to fall and falls right in front of my path!
What?! He's smart!
FLASH.
Suddenly, the light is blocked by an enormous figure appearing right above me.
HE JUMPED?!
I infuse my manipulate the winds around me and throw myself into the opposite direction with them!
BOOM!!!
The entire bear's weight falls over the snow, as the ground shakes slightly!
This bastard tried to squash me to death!
He's using the Pounce technique he knows to jump incredibly high and then fall over his prey!
What kind of underhanded tactic is that?
You're a bear, why are you just crushing your prey with your weight?
Are you openly admitting that you are so fat you can kill someone if you fall over them?!
"GRROOOAAR!"
The Bear quickly jumps towards me. He's way faster than his size implies.
I guess that's why he has so much dexterity!
BOOM!!!
He falls again just in the place where I used to be.
I managed to preemptively evade it due to the strong bloodthirst I felt. It made me instinctively jump away.
I begin to think that I can't run away from it.
It just ate so it's filled with energy.
And it wants me as the dessert.
"GRAAAAWR!"
It suddenly roars as he throws five icicle spears at me!
What? He's making them so easily! That's cheating, it took me ages to make a sole ice knife!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
I pretend to evade the attacks, although one of them hits me it explodes when it touches me and just becomes a part of my energy, as I have Ice Absorption. contemporary romance
But I don't want him to know that!
Why? So I can tire out his Mana!
Let him try to kill me at long range so he empties his mana!
I pretend to feel pain as I groan weakly.
I glance at the bear, who seems to even smile a bit.
Is he a sick bastard or something?
He quickly jumps towards me again!
FUCK!
BOOM!!!
I quickly evade in time, but he roars right back at me and jumps just as quickly as he fell over the ground!
Wait, wait, I can't evade this on time!
His claws are about to reach me!
So, I do the most obvious thing I can, I conjure my Magic!
Suddenly, five blades made of ice emerge in front of me, as I send them flying to the bear's paws with powerful gusts of winds!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Some of them manage to reach his body, and pierce deeply into his flesh!
And three of them reach his paw as the beast groan in pain!
That was close!
The bear loses his balance as he falls to the ground, I manage to use winds to throw me in the opposite direction.
I am safe.
I check my Mana… I have spent 120 already by simply using winds to help me evade and the 5 ice blades…
This is bad, really bad.
However, my mana quickly begins to refill itself, after all, I can regenerate 15 per minute.
I need to stall for time.
I have to stall for time, gain mana, and make him lose mana!
The bear groans in anger, as I glance at his Mana…
He only has 40 left.
Also, his HP was decreased by 30! Woah, my blades are pretty strong, what the heck?
We can do this…
Yes.
I can see a path to victory.
I brace myself while swallowing saliva.
Alright then, bastard.
Come at me!
"GRROOOOOOOAAAARRR!"
Suddenly, the bear does what I was expecting him to do.
He's intelligent and seems to have recognized me as a threat when I damaged him.
Now… he's using it.
Berserk Mode.
His entire body begins to be shrouded in the red aura, as he spends almost all of his mana into this!
His Strength stat grows explosively!
But do you think I am going to let you power up in front of me?!
I quickly conjure three Ice Blades, and throw them at him!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"GRAAAAAAAGGGRRR…!"
The bear roars as it was preparing to pounce at me when three strong ice blades pierce his back, his left front leg, and the side of his neck!
There you go.
I see as his HP decreases by a whopping 50!
But he has a crap ton of HP, so he still is over 300!
"GROOOOOWL!"
He roars monstrously, jumping towards me while covering himself on icy winds!
