'Firelords' companion stood aside whilst his elder brother dealt with his unfortunate target, confident that at this level Firelord would require little to no assistance to defeat boar he'd engaged. Shurikai's ears were then rewarded with a level up noise and he broke into a grin. "Damn Okibi." He said jovially. "You beat me to it... Congratulations are in order I beleive?" He continued before sighting the two hostile boar his oblivious brother had missed.

Shurikai allowed himself the luxury of a moments surprise before leaping into action, practically spining around his brother before bracing himself shield forward as the first of the two boars began to charge. The low level wooden shield he carried slowed Shurikai's dagger moves to around the speed of a rapier however an information broker had told him there was a world of counters available later on utilising the shield and it provided some security to Shurikai even if his low strength stat meant he only met the prerequisites to brace rather than full on block. The boar barreled into Shurikai's shield tusk first with a solid crunch as the shields durability lowered dramatically and Shurikai's health took a knock. Shurikai roared his dissent as he positioned his dagger into his opening pre-motion and the weapon immediately glowed purple and plunged forwards into the boar as the move Rapid Bite activated. Two more strikes followed in quick succession with practically no discernible post-motion phases between blows as Shurikai frenzied the three hits into the fiend until it evaporated into crystalline shards. Wasting no time Shurikai turned and raised his dagger over head before gripping it in two hands. Moments later he felt an explosion of power rush through him and released the dagger skill Fud Edge into the surviving boar as it tried to pass, the blade of his weapon sinking deep into the beasts fleshy flanks and leaving a deep red puncture mark. 

"Switch!" Shurikai called loudly to his brother as he waited for the post-motion to wear off.
