When the energy ca off the horns and zapped the nearby sli, it vanished within a second.
The sli that got hit completely stopped moving, its body shivered with bubbles forming everywhere for a while.
Theo was shocked, that electric strike was this strong?
'It might even be half as good as Spore Lash at level 2. But… Spore Lash doesn't damage the enemy, it only paralyzes them. What about this one?' Theo thought and wanted to ask Bram in curiosity, but seeing him so focused, he refrained.
The calf hadn't stopped; it moved its hoof up in the air and smacked it directly at the sli's body.
Theo saw the sli this ti and sighed, no matter how good an ability was, if one didn't know how to use it, then it was useless.
The sli's core had shifted to the side; even if it was zapped, it was able enough to still protect itself.
The calf snorted and brought its feet above in the air, only to see that the sli had totally latched onto its lower leg and seed to be moving up slowly with each passing second.
Theo felt nostalgia and looked at the leg of the boar with calm, "Can you use the electric shock again, elder brother?"
Bram, who was confused as to what to do now, looked at Theo with panic, "It's… 3 more seconds…"
MOOOOHHHH
The calf shrieked in a high-pitched voice which told Theo that it was really not that old.
He waited for a few seconds when finally, the calf seed cald down and small jolts of electric current ford in its horns.
Before he knew it, the sli in the front got zapped once and it made those weird bubbles again.
When the calf tugged on its leg again, it ca right off, and the sli beca a slush on the ground.
"He… He killed it…" Bram spoke in disbelief and Theo nodded.
All the other slis had already co near enough to latch themselves on the calf.
Seeing that Bram was panicked now and his attendant was going to help out, Theo decided to help himself.
'Spore Lash.' When Theo gave a ntal command, he tried finding the mantis in the clearing, and only when a lot of spores showed in the spot where the slis were located did he finally see the little guy.
The spores were in a large quantity this ti, and Theo was surprised to see that out of the four slis left in the clearing, three of them were paralyzed now.
Theo couldn't see it, but before he could give another command, the mantis greedily pulled so of the sli out of the nearest moss sli and started eating it.
It was as if any scare against these creatures was already gone from its mind. The mantis was the greatest weakness of the moss slis with the tallic nature of its exoskeleton.
With another ntal command, the sli in the front popped completely, making the calf flinch as if it was its first ti looking at it.
Before he gave another command, he saw the mantis get inside one of the moss slis just like the old tis.
But before the cooldown could regenerate, the mantis kept moving closer to the core even though the sli had tightened itself fully.
Another pop sound ca, and Theo was surprised to see the mantis take a little munch of the core before becoming a blur and killing another.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry seeing the glutton just keep taking bites here and there.
All the slis were dead in the clearing now, and Theo entered it.
When Bram ca close too, the calf brisked toward him and kept its face near his chest. Bram patted its head with concern.
"He is not capable of defeating them, right Theo?" Bram asked with a light chuckle.
"It seems we have been playing wrong, elder brother. I get what we have to do now."
"Hm?" Bram was confused. Both Clara and Elira looked at each other and then at Theo, both of them curious too.
"Till you don't level up your beast's skills, it will never be able to defeat sothing with those electric charges. You need to focus on that," Theo spoke, and he knew everybody already knew that part.
But he continued, "But that doesn't an that we will stop for today. I will still help you level up, elder brother," Theo said and smiled.
"B-But, he cannot do anything right now… Theo." Bram was dejected for now; it seed as if his planning had all been battered just because the calf was not able to finish off the slis.
"That is why I am going to propose sothing. For today only, you can beco this small team's support, elder brother. Hit the slis with your abilities and the mantis will deal the killing blow. Is that okay with you?" Theo asked with a genuine smile.
Bram was surprised to hear that, so was his attendant, yet Clara only smiled knowingly.
"Will you do that for ? Really?" Bram asked innocently and Theo nodded.
"Thanks for the offer, Theo. It really feels like a loss that we ca this far in the forest and go back with nothing." Bram spoke and continued with a long breath, "I would like to take your help, yes."
"Great," Theo grinned and moved his elbow up toward Bram, who smacked it with his.
Theo looked at Clara once and she understood. The next mont, the pup went out of the clearing to find more of those slis.
anwhile, they all stayed in the clearing. Theo observed the ape and the eagle without even faking it. The ape glanced toward him a lot of tis too, which made an involuntary shiver run down his spine, yet he tried facing it head-on.
The ape was unlike the one he had faced before, this one was a lot more calm.
Yet on the other hand, the eagle seed restless and looked everywhere, up and down a lot.
"Seems this one's rearing to fly, Elira. Why don't you let it flap its wings?"
