Pain. The first thing we felt was pain, the creature bit our tail and even I, with my skill not relaying the sensations, felt it.

Yoshi screamed and trashed while the monster had its jaws locked on us, blood was pouring and the creature was gouging on it, taking huge chugs. Was it a vampire or was it just having toying with us? The thing didn't let a drop of blood fall on the ground at all!

Yoshi maneuvered and tried to bite the coyote, only then the monster's jaw left us. Our attack didn't hit, the creature just jumped back, damn it was nimble!

Yet again the coyote chose to circle us, probably would try to attack our blind spot again. My isekai Tri-pointed Spinosaurus disliked the idea of falling for the same strategy again, she decided to rush against it instead of waiting to be bitten.

Yoshi charged against the coyote and used one of its thorns in her back like a lance, but the dog just evaded it as well. It was way faster than us, the moment we missed its mouth counterattacked and struck against our neck!

If blood poured from our tail, the bite on the neck made it flow like a faucet!

"SHIT!"

GODDAMMIT, what should I do?! Fuck, I can't do anything, at this rate we WILL die!

Fuck, shit, fuck!

Yoshi's vision is getting blurry and darker as more blood is lost, blood loss always ends with you fainting, is it the creature strategy?

What should I do, dammit! I can use my skills to alter the blood flow? But that won't stop the thing biting us at all…

Perhaps, perhaps I can do something, it's risky, but it's our only chance! I gather all the mana from Yoshi's core, and try to make it flow faster as possible and one way: the blood escaping the wounded neck!

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Whats gonna happen? Will that help? Fuck If I know! Even with the small amount of mere 10 mana points, I try to make it count!

The coyote was happily drinking our life juices when it hit, I don't know what it felt, but it dislodged from us and vomited a lot of blood while shaking its head in chaos. It didn't look like it was hurt, probably was surprised with the unsuspected sensation it got from our blood.

Yoshi didn't waste time at all, while the creature was astonished, my ride lunged in a last attempt and actually landed a hit!

The coyote screamed, a guttural screech, and shook itself even harder than before! I couldn't see well, our visions was too blurry, and we were being shaken as well since we got stuck on the monster body by one of Yoshi's thorns.

Quickly, I activated my Host Operator to diminish the blood flow. Not long after we fell on the earth along the coyote. With the blood loss stopped, our vision slowly got better. In front of us, the piece of shit laid fallen, but not dead.

The monster had one of its eyes pierced sideways, the thorn entered its skull but ended penetrating until it pierced its cranium upwards, it probably happened due to its own strength while shaking its head trying to free itself. The coyote, however, was still alive but jerking on the ground while its mouth started foaming. Was it because of the poison? Did it graze the creature brain and poisoned it directly? Who gives a fuck, we didn't die!

"YOU SON OF A WHORE!"

Yoshi was pissed! She stabbed the creature a dozen times until her rage was placated, the strikes were feeble because my blood pressure shenanigan made her muscles really weaker, but it was enough to pierce the skin and fill the monster with more poison. It had a gruesome ending.

[It's already dead, you can stop now, Yoshi].

"I want to be sure. Hey, what did you do?"

[As I said, I am your supporter, I tried to make it get the same thing you felt while using mana.]

"That shock made me get up too, you did well, parasite."

Hm, thanks?

After resting a bit, Yoshi decided to eat. The monster carcass didn't look enticing, or edible at all, but that did not stop my companion to fill its hunger. I did shit off the hearing transmission, I really did not enjoy the crunching sound of bones and flash being shoved down Yoshi's maw.

[How can you eat it, it looks disgusting.]

"It's easy to get used to."

[But its raw, like, what if it has parasites?]

Yoshi stopped for a little and then proceeded to chomp its meal.

"I have done worse during the war."

[I REALLY don't think there is something worse tham gwaing on an almost rotting monster body.]

"Heh, you don't know what is a war boy, I have done much worse to survive, this is nothing."

Damn, that gave me chills, what could this lizard have done worse than this right now? I don't think I want to know…

[You know, I am not a boy, I'm 30!]

"Yet 56 years younger, so yes, you are a boy."

[I think we should know each other a bit more. Like, we are tied to each other anyways.]

"Stop wasting your time, boy, you want to know about the war."

Damn, that was as straight a response as I can get.

[So… what was it about? Why did it start?]

Yoshi didn't waste time and stop eating, since we had been speaking with our brains, well, her brain.

"For the same motivations that all wars happen."

[Freedom?]

"Ha! A war for such a thing, would you imagine that! There is no war for that, boy. People don't die or kill for such nice things."

[Hm, then why was it?]

"For the same as any other, for money, for power. Those are stuffs worth sacrificing the lives of thousands and killing even more."

Huh, what? I don't like how this is going.
