'There's Orc Bones as well… quite a lot of them.' Arthur realized after seeing the humanoid skeletons but with skulls that had long tusks attached to them. 'Considering its strength, it wouldn't be unusual for it to hunt down Orcs too.' He thought
Long scratch marks could be seen all around the rock where more beasts were sitting. These were beasts that Arthur was familiar with and had fought several of them before too.
'Five Bone Blade beasts…' Arthur counted them, finding them to be manageable.
Arthur then used his skill, checking what he was up against.

Just as its description said, the Blood Mane Sickle beast was on a different level than the Bone Blade beasts. It was not only stronger, but its skills had also improved on some level.
'The Harming Block would be a pain in the ass for many players. The durability decrease had caused tens of players to go bankrupt trying to fight this beast.' Arthur thought to himself. "Though for me, it is not an issue at all." He after all had the Key Spear which was simply unbreakable.
Next Arthur also glanced at the surrounding Bone blade beasts who were busy grinding their Bone blades against the rock. They seemed a bit bigger than normal Bone blade beasts, making Arthur wonder if they were higher level.
~DING~

'I guess the leader does surround himself with strong minions. This would be a pain for others, especially with the Kin Command skill of the Blood Mane Sickle beast, but I got Brambles.' Arthur smiled, knowing he had this under his belt.
"ATTACK!" Arthur said while leaping into the fray.
"KRIIIII~" Brambles directly opened its mouth and spat out a large fireball that struck the Bone blade beasts that were happily grinding away their blades.

'That just might have injured a player if they used a small weapon like a sword or dagger. The sickle is long enough to graze their arm too.' Arthur noticed as the Blood Mane Sickle Beast tightened its legs.
Knowing that the beast was about to use its skill, Arthur quickly jumped back.
~WHOOSH~
And just as Arthur had predicted, the Blood Mane Sickle Beast used Sickle spin, turning into a blurry red circle. Its sickles were extended outwards, cutting the grass and rocks that were nearby.
It tried to move toward Arthur, but his inferior agility allowed the player to dodge it with ease.
And just when the Beast's skill was coming to an end, Arthur attacked. The beast was unable to react in time and was struck right in its flank.
