The large cat kicked back viciously with its wounded paw. The former laziness in its eyes was wiped away by the piercing pain it felt. Since it transcended its form and became a Pseudo Legendary Class Magical Beast, this was the first time it had been injured. And it lost an entire toe too.
The speed of the kick was unlike any of its attacks so far, consolidating Domineering Tiger’s claims that the beast was toying with Arthur. Now that it was angry, it struck with full force, at full speed.
Arthur didn’t waver seeing the large paw hurtling towards him like a lock-on torpedo. If it was before, he wouldn’t have dared take this strike, even if he had an extra life. But his fury had granted him unprecedented power, and he wasn’t going to put it to waste. Readjusting his stance from attack to defense, he used the large sword as a shield and placed it before himself.
*Boom*
A deafening sound was produced when the beast’s paw struc
“Thank you Sir. You saved my life.” Arthur quickly expressed his thanks to Wandering Cheetah for his help. Although he had never really seen Wandering Cheetah or interacted with him before, he had heard the famous story of the genius who fell.“It’s nothing,” Wandering Cheetah replied with a wry smile on his handsome face. Although Arthur tried to hide it, Wandering Cheetah still saw the strange gaze the boy directed at him before he quickly regained his composure. After being stared at in the particular way for so many years, he was used to it. It was a look of curiosity, pity and a bit of disappointment. Curiosity concerning the one who was called a genius years ago and whether he truly was what they said he was. Pity upon realizing that he had truly not lived up to expectations, and disappointment because a talent had missed the chance to shine.Now he could even tell when someone looked at him with that gaze. No matter where it came fr
Frowning Tiger crossed his swords to serve as a guard, as the gigantic paw of the excited Pseudo Legendary Class Magical Beast descended upon him. He didn’t have the speed of a Cheetah to evade the blow, and he didn’t have the flexibility of a Mongoose to narrowly avoid it either. He couldn’t conceal himself like a Snake so that the damned beast wouldn’t be able to find him. He was a Tiger. He wasn’t the strongest of the bunch, but his control was so great that he always knew just how much he needed to attack, and defend.*Bang*The power behind the beasts paw wasn’t trivial, and Frowning Tiger could finally experience for himself what Arthur had endured for several minutes before he lost Durandal. He was sent flying several metres back, but his exceptional control of his body allowed him to stabilize himself midair, and land on his feet, potentially avoiding a nasty fall.*Cough*Although he blocked the attack, it wasn
*Bang*The large head of the beast fell down with a thud. There was silence for a while as everyone spectating, from Samoa and the fighters on the sidelines to the Predators on the battlefield, all took a while to understand what had just happened. They were quiet for several seconds, their brains processing what had just occurred, and then they exploded into cheers.“YEAH!!!”The thunderous shouts of the people shook the ground. Men who had never been touchy jumped up in joy and hugged each other. Soldiers who boasted of never shedding tears couldn’t stop the waterfall that fell down their eyes. Ecstasy filled the hearts of all who were on the battlefield. Spectators and warriors alike were all happy with the results. And soon the names of the warriors who took down the beast were screamed out by the spectating fighters.“Durandal!”“Durandal!”“Durandal!”“Head Fan!”
“I will kill you, Foolish Beast!” Unbound Mongoose screamed in rage.“Calm down,” Domineering Tiger who was closest to him wasn’t going to let the man make a stupid decision. He restrained Unbound Mongoose and prevented him for rushing to his death.“Let me go! I’d kill that damned beast! I said let me go!” Unbound Mongoose struggled with all he was worth, trying to squirm out of Domineering Tiger’s strong hold as he screamed with all his might.“I cannot allow you to kill yourself. You aren’t a match for it,” Domineering Tiger resisted Unbound Mongoose’s struggles and still held onto the man. However, his words seemed to have calmed the raging Predator down, and his struggling ceased.Looking at the heartbroken figure of Unbound Mongoose, the others were saddened. Arthur watched in sadness as the stoic figure of Unbound Mongoose was reduced to a mess of snot and tears. The scen
“Is he okay?” Samoa asked worriedly. The healer taking care of Blistering Cheetah checked his pulse and breathing and then nodded his head to indicate that everything was fine.“He is fine. He only fainted due to exhaustion.” The healer’s words relieved Samoa somewhat, but also left him very confused. Why did Blistering Cheetah look so relieved when he was told of Wandering Cheetah’s death? Was there some sort of misunderstanding between the two? But that didn’t seem feasible, given that Blistering Cheetah obviously cared about his friend. “I’m so confused right now,” Samoa sighed and then returned his gaze to the battlefield where his friend and several Predators were fighting a desperate battle.*****************************Swish*Domineering Tiger moved slightly to the side to avoid the claws of the Pseudo Legendary Class Magical Beast. He lightly span his body and then pierced towards the beas
Without regard for his safety, Frowning Tiger dashed forward with full speed. His target? The beast that killed his friend.“Wait!” Domineering Tiger tried to dissuade his colleague from making a foolish decision. But Frowning Tiger ignored him and continued his charge.“Damn it!” Domineering Tiger swore, his composure tossed outside the window. He hesitated for a bit, before finally running after Frowning Tiger.Behind the two Tigers who were leaving were Arthur and his father. Both had their eyes closed as they concentrated on regaining their strength. They calmed their breathing and tried to calm their rioting blood. Village Head Fan opened his eyes first. He had been using Caliburn way longer than Arthur had been using Durandal. Naturally he was able to deal with its rampaging energy faster. He opened his eyes just in time to see Rash Tiger’s death, and he felt his heart constrict in pain witnessing one of his trusted warriors,
They were right in a sense. Blistering Cheetah was indeed unaware of what he said. But his words came from a memory. A memory he was currently reliving.“What do you know about Savior?” the Oracle, a dark skinned pretty middle aged woman asked a young Blistering Cheetah.“It was made by some Scientists after they experimented with the blood of several Magical Beasts,” said the young Blistering Cheetah.“That is not true,” the Oracle shook her head after listening to his words. The young Blistering Cheetah was confused. Then what was the truth. Luckily for him, the Oracle gave an answer even before he could ask.“They didn’t experiment on Magical Beasts. They experimented on people”“What!” Blistering Cheetah didn’t see that coming. If they did, why was it revealed that they experimented on Magical Beasts?“During that time, humans were weak. We didn’t have th
“How could it be him?!” Samoa exclaimed seeing the figure that crawled out of the mouth of the beast.“How can a mere cat swallow the sun?” Suddenly, someone said this confusing sentence, and Samoa naturally turned to see who it was.“Sir Blistering Cheetah?”Correct, the man who was meant to be asleep was awake. There was a huge smile on his lips as he watched the naked figure of his friend standing tall on the battlefield.“For he remains. He is never gone”************************************“How is that possible?” Beastly Tiger asked, stunned with what he was witnessing. A man who was supposed to be dead had come back from the grave!Everyone, from Unbound Mongoose to Frowning Tiger whose breath was getting shallower and shallower by the second, was stunned with what they were witnessing. Not only had they seen the beast trample on their friend, they also witnessed it co
