"Gork!" In response to his rhetorical question, the two boars let out a deep yet brief snort in unison, causing the smile on Valyr's face to become wider as he returned his attention to the status screen he had just brought up.

'Well, with these stats, they won't be doing any of the attacking any time soon.' Getting a rough idea of the capabilities of the two Arx'has Boars before him, Valyr proceeded to close the screen he had brought up before shifting his gaze to the two boars, taking a look at them in greater detail.
Aside from the fact that they were over four meters in length, these boars stood at a height of just a little bit over a meter while standing, giving Valyr the feeling that the boars would overwhelm him in terms of body size. Then again, with the disparity that existed between their stats, that feeling had become more or less negligible, prompting him to move his attention onto the other parts of the Arx'has Boars.
'I wonder how much they'll level up after taking on one round of Shadow Tigers?' As this question lingered in his mind, Valyr moved closer to the boars, taking note of the fact that the two were still looking at every move he made. With that, he shifted his gaze to their ash gray fur, which surprisingly glowed a faint brown under the dim lighting of the Shadow Plane.
After that, Valyr grazed his hands over it, only to find it surprisingly soft to the touch.
'I guess that's part of the reason why these guys were chosen as mounts for the orc warriors, aside from their large size.' Seeing that the other boar was conveying to Valyr through its expression that it wanted its fur to be ruffled as well, the young man let out a faint chuckle before proceeding to do the same thing to the other boar, which made both of the boars let out a satisfied grunt in response.
"Alright. Let's talk about our game plan." Feeling that he had spent enough time familiarizing himself with the two Arx'has Boars, Valyr moved in front of them before proceeding to initiate a conversation with them. Though their response to his words was nothing more but a simple snort, with the connection the two had to his soul, Valyr nodded back in response as he went silent for a bit.
"Hmm… how about this? I'll be scouting ahead for signs of Shadow Tigers while you two will maintain a set distance behind me." Saying these words, Valyr looked at the two to see if they understood. Fortunately, even though it took a while for the gears in their mind to turn, the two boars let out an affirmative grunt in response, allowing the young man to continue with his explanation.
"Then, once I find signs of Shadow Tigers, I'll give you guys a signal and that'll be your cue to wrangle them all up so I could deal with them in one hit."
After Valyr had finished laying down his plan to the two boars, he then proceeded to make a sharp whistle sound with his mouth, informing the two boars of the signal that they had to listen to. Of course, with how the mental faculties of the Arx'has Boars were somewhat lagging behind their physical capabilities, Valyr was forced to explain the entire plan to the two a couple more times, growing slightly more annoyed with every subsequent repetition.
"Gork." Thankfully, the two boars eventually understood what Valyr wanted to happen, prompting the two to let out affirmative snorts in unison, causing the young man to let out a long sigh of relief while nodding.
Taking in a deep breath, Valyr turned around to look at the area in front of them before proceeding to hop onto a nearby branch. Then, nodding at the boars to signal that their plan was beginning, the young man proceeded to move through the branches in search for Shadow Tigers, with the Arx'has Boars tailing behind Valyr, making sure that there was a decent amount of distance between them.

"A summoning skill…" Watching Valyr and the two boars he had summoned move farther away from where he stood, Noel's eyes were wide open as he was left at a slight loss for words. "You're telling me he also uses summons in his combat style?"
"Him being a blacksmith is understandable. After all, it's what allowed him to become a candidate for the Four Pillars' Inheritance in the first place," muttered Noel to himself as he tried to make sense of what he had just seen. "Him being a spearman is also understandable, since earning combat experience would help out in forging."
"Him being able to cast magic is also understandable, since it's an incredibly versatile system to use." At these words, the old man scratched the back of his head in slight fury. "But to even have access to summoning skills, and strong summoning skills at that…"
"Absurd." Feeling that he would only get a headache the more he thought about it, Noel shook his head as he placed his current train of thought at the back of his head, deciding to start moving if he wanted to see Valyr's summons in action.
"In any case, those boars Valyr summoned are unlike any type of boar I've seen in the past." Whilst he moved in the direction Valyr and the two boars were heading in, Noel thought back to the appearance of the boars the young man had summoned, rubbing his chin in the process. "I wonder if it's a species of boar unique to the summoning skill he has?"
"Well, whatever the case may be..."
"Let's see if these boars could stand their ground against the Shadow Tigers."
