He counterattacked many times and injured the tiger many times. This made the tiger very angry. It roared and snarled at him many times.
Eventually, the tiger got impatient and leapt at him. What it got for its effort was a full-powered blow to its head with the giant sword.
The giant sword crushed its skull and split it in half. There was no doubt about it that it was dead.
He dragged the tiger out of the green forest and quickly took it to the beast hunting center to exchange it for hunting points. Then he returned the following day to hunt again.
This continued for a while. Most days, he succeeded in hunting, and other times he came back empty-handed.
He met other hunters in the forest too. They mostly avoided each other. But there was an occasion when he couldn't avoid the hunter.
He came across a trapped boar. The boar was impaled with many stakes from below. The sharp stakes had taken advantage of the boar's weight and softer belly to penetrate its defense.
