"A new way…" Theo muttered as he saw the boar move its face left and right when it went past the pollen.
Just a second later, its eyes widened, and it tried stopping and stomped its hind legs everywhere.
'That is not what I expected, but it's my chance,' Theo thought and gave the mental command again. The mantis's forelegs started shining yet again before it became a blur and slashed at the neck of the boar again.
Another deep gash formed on the neck, and a slightly screechy sound came when the attack hit.
Theo realized that if the mantis had attacked right at the previous injury, they might have already been done with this fight.
'Hide again and attack at the same spot again,' Theo gave the command and saw the mantis hop to the right, and the next second, it could not be seen again.
The boar was already unparalyzed, yet it squealed again and again at the injuries that it had faced.
It looked at Theo with its bloodshot eyes.
