We continued running desperately until Montana suddenly raised his voice and shouted instructions to us. This was the first time I’d ever heard him be so loud.

“We can turn the tide in our favor if we can get it to lodge itself into that tree over there!”

“You sure that’ll work?!”

Montana turned his head around briefly to nod in response to Albert’s shout. “Yes. There’s no such thing as a living being that can’t die,” he explained logically. “Once it’s immobilized, we’ll whittle it down.”

His expression wasn’t much different from usual, and that unshakeable demeanor was incredibly reassuring right now.

“Oh…there it goes.”

There was a loud crash from behind me, then Montana’s head disappeared from view. I whipped around in a panic to see what had happened and saw that the boy had lowered himself further to the ground as he rolled toward the horned boar, which was now stuck in the tree like Montana had said. By the time Albert started forward a few moments later, Montana had already slashed at the monster’s hind legs and was running around to its other side.

“Tough hide.”

He’d probably intended to cut the leg in half, but it was only bleeding slightly. Montana sounded a little annoyed, and slashed repeatedly at the leg several times without stopping. The horned boar, its horn still stuck in the tree, flailed around and unleashed a roar that seemed to echo through the whole forest. Clearly, Montana had finally inflicted some damage.

Albert rushed in then, raising his sword and slashing with all his might, aiming for the leg opposite the one Montana was focused on. It was obvious they were both trying to immobilize it. Montana’s decisive action revived my flagging spirits, too, and gave me the courage I needed.

“You were right, Mon. Now that it’s not moving, it’s just a normal, stationary target.”

The sight of Corinne nocking her arrow and letting it fly spurred me on to use my magic too. I hurriedly started chanting a spell. The arrow sliced through the air and smacked into the horned boar’s forehead before clattering to the ground.

“I was aiming for its eyes, but it just won’t stand still!” Frustrated, Corinne nocked a second arrow.

This is no time to sit back and watch. My target was the neck. If I could damage the carotid artery, that would give us a chance to escape. They had invited me to join their party as a mage, no doubt so I could deliver powerful blows like this. If I didn’t do my part here, then when would I have the chance?

“Blade of wind, arise, sharpen, soar, mow.”

Corinne’s fifth arrow finally pierced the horned boar’s eye, and it shook its head wildly. Simultaneously, the tree where its horn was stuck finally collapsed, with a tremendous creaking sound.

“Pierce where I command you. Shoot, Wind Cutter.”

When I finished the incantation, an invisible blade of wind tore through the air and flew straight at my target. It shook everyone’s clothes as it passed silently through the monster’s neck. And…missed? Nothing happened.
