CRAAAASSSHH!!!
The powerful Giant Blazing Wild Boar landed over a tree, crushing it and setting it ablaze. The beast quickly stood back up again, the deadly wounds it had taken from Luck were still there, though they were slowly regenerating.
The stronger the beasts were, the faster their regeneration would become. The power this beast had, as a Tier 3 monster, was incredible, and so was its Magical Power and Mana…
"It is not dead yet?" Luck was surprised. "I literally launched it all the way there…"
"Beasts of higher tiers are incredibly resilient, boy." The Golden Tiger's voice echoed within Luck's body. "If that beast is truly the one that felled your father, then you must defeat it at all costs! You have less than a minute to maintain this form but use it to defeat it! Now, to summon my strength, you must summon my body parts! My claws, my legs, my fangs, and my eyes! They're simply spells engraved within your magic circle, use them!"
"Got it." Luck said, nodding with a serious face. His entire body began channeling this golden, beastly energy into his claws, legs, eyes, ears, and fangs.
"[Golden Tiger's Rapid Legs]!"
FLAAASH!
Luck leaped once more off the ground, in a mere instant, reaching the Giant Blazing Wild Boar!
"GRUOOOHHH!"
The beast greeted him by opening its jaws and unleashing a large quantity of flames!
"Now, my claws!" The Tiger said.
"[Golden Tiger's Sharp Claws]!"
Luck imbued this golden power into his claws, as he swung them horizontally and vertically against the beast, slashing across the flames and then landing several hits into its face and body!
SLAASH! SLAAASH! SLAAAASH!
"GRUOOHHH…!"
The Wild Boar instantly began running away from the attacks, its entire body covered in deadly wounds that weren't regenerating so fast!
"You're not going anywhere!" Roared Luck. "[Golden Tiger's Deadly Jaws]!"
Luck opened his jaws and leaped towards the Giant Blazing Wild Boar, biting its big neck and slowly tearing apart the flesh! Blood began gushing out everywhere, as the beast's flames covered his body, attempting to burn him to death!
"RAAAHHHH!!!"
"GRUOOOOHHH…!"
Both beasts clashed against one another, as Luck continued biting it or slashing it, while the boar unleashed flames and charging blows with its tusks!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
"You're so resilient… But I'm not giving up! I can't die here… I can't!" Luck roared, his eyes glowing redder, as he leaped towards the blazing boar at the same time as the beast charged against him.
His claws pointing at the beast's eyes and piercing through them!
CRAAAASSSSHH!!!
The claws then reached the beast's brains through its eye sockets. The wild boar instantly stopped its charge, feeling an agonizing, electrifying pain before finally dying on the spot!
BAAAAMMM…!
The beast's gigantic body rolled over the forest floor, standing still… the adrenaline continued surging through Luck, as he gasped for air, slowly falling to his knees…
"H-Hahhh… I-I did it…" Luck sighed; tears quickly began flowing from his eyes.
The moment he defeated the boar, he felt even more power flowing into his body, as his Physique manifested, and his muscles and bones began to strengthen, yet the wounds he had were still not recovering.
"I-I did it… father… big brother… La… ra…"
The blood loss and having emptied all of his mana reserves quickly exhausted him. As his transformation ended, he fell into the floor, slowly falling unconscious…
"Little brother! What are you doing here?!"
"Luck! Please don't die! Please hang on!"
As Luck's slowly fell unconscious, he heard the voice of his worried big brother, and Lara. Her warm tears fell over his face, as her healing light slowly covered his body, slowly healing his lethal wounds before he were to die…

Once Luck woke up the next day, he found Lara sleeping at his side, resting her legs over the wooden floor of his house and her head over the bed.
"Ah! W-What… Huh? I'm here…" Luck gasped for air, looking around.
For a moment, everything that happened yesterday felt like one long dream, so many things all at once… It was simply insane.
Yet it all happened for real. He had not only defeated the beast that killed his father, but he awakened magic and new powers he never thought he would had.
"L-Luck…?" Lara slowly opened her golden eyes, looking at Luck. "LUCK! You're awake!"
She jumped over his body, hugging him tightly.
"Uwaagh! Wait, don't hug me so tightly, you brute!" Luck complained.
"But you almost died, you dummy!!!" Lara cried, hugging him. "I was so worried… your brother was so worried too! Why did you go hunt a monster in the forest?! It is too dangerous!"
"Lara…" Luck sighed, slowly and gently pushing her away from him. "I… I had to do it. I wanted to prove to you that I was strong, that I am useful… I didn't wanted to live on your shadows anymore either…"
"E-Eh? Prove what? W-What in the world are you talking about?" Lara sighed, cleaning her tears. "You never needed to prove anything to me… You're my precious friend, my family… You're the one I love…"
"L-Love?!" Luck suddenly blushed.
"A-Ah… D-Did I just said that?!" Lara began to laugh nervously. "A-Anyways! You should- Ah, buddie! Thanks!"
Suddenly, a small creature made out of dirt crawled over the bed and gave Lara a small fruit. This was something Luck had never seen before on his life… Thinking it was a monster, he was surprised.
"Huh? W-What is that?" Luck asked in shock, suddenly jumping off the bed.
"Oh? Ah! Don't tell me you can finally see my buddies, Luck!" Lara was shocked. "Everyone! Come here! He can see you all!"
"Pigyuh!"
"Gaguuh…!"
"Gehehe…"
"Kyun!"
Suddenly, countless tiny creatures emerged everywhere. Some resembled spheres of light with tiny faces on them, some looked like small, walking stones. And others were like floating droplets of water. A few, resembled tiny clouds... As he saw all of these creatures, which amounted hundreds, Luck almost couldn't believe it.
"These… what are these things?!" Luck asked.
"Huh? They're my buddies of course, dummy!" Lara giggled playfully. "They're my friends, they've been always there since I was born, helping me and… protecting me! And they help and protect you too, they really like you! Some people call them… Spirits."
Lara, without a doubt, was the Saint of Spirits.
