Chapter 148 Fighting the leopard and tiger
Its eyes, fierce and predatory, were a vivid shade of amber, the pupils narrowed to slits as it bared its fangs, the gleaming teeth a stark contrast to the black of its muzzle.
Its claws extended, its body tensed as it crouched low, readying itself for the strike.
The leopard's lips peeled back in a silent snarl, the threat in its gaze unmistakable as it began to stalk forward, its powerful limbs coiled like springs as it readied itself for the assault.
With a sudden, explosive movement, the beast let loose a deafening roar, the sound reverberating off the walls of the buildings as it launched itself towards me, its claws extended and ready to tear into my flesh.
In response, I raised my fans, my gaze narrowed in focus as I coated my fans in mana.
With a powerful sweep of my arm, I unleashed a two directional wind slam, the air swirling and twisting around me as I sent a torrent of wind slamming into the beast.
The leopard was caught off guard, its body sent careening backwards as it fought to regain its footing.
Its ears flattened against its head, its eyes flashing with a feral intelligence as it righted itself, its claws raking against the cobblestones as it sought to regain its balance
With a powerful leap, the leopard surged forward once more, its body propelled with the speed of a predator as it raced towards me, the air around us swirling with the force of the wind.
I met its charge, my fans flashing through the air as I clashed with the beast with my air, my parries and strikes matched by its own powerful attacks.
The battle raged, the beast's fangs glinting in the torchlight as it fought to overpower me, its claws raking at the air as it sought to find an opening in my defense.
The leopard's ferocity was relentless, its attacks swift and relentless as it sought to tear through my defenses.
Each blow was met with equal force, my fans singing through the air as I sent another two directional wind slam and parried and thrust, my movements fluid and sure as I fought to drive the beast back.
Around us, the battle raged on, the sounds of magic and steel clashing against leather armor ringing out through the night.
But my focus was fixed on the beast before me, my mind and body attuned to the rhythm of the fight.
With a savage snarl, the leopard feinted to one side, its body twisting in a sudden shift of movement that caught me by surprise.
I stumbled, my footing thrown off balance as the beast seized the opportunity to strike, its fangs bared as it lunged towards me, its claws raking the air with a sharp hiss.
I reacted on instinct, my fans lashing out in a powerful wind slash as I sought to ward off the beast, my muscles straining as I threw myself into the attack.
I drew upon the power of wind, the air around me swirling and twisting with magical energy as I unleashed a gust of vortex at the beast.
The leopard was caught in the blast, its powerful body sent skidding backwards across the cobblestones as it fought to regain its footing.
I pressed my advantage, the wind swirling around me as I surged forward, my sword held high as I unleashed another vortex of air magic.
The leopard snarled as it tried to recover, its muscles rippling as it dug its claws into the ground, the stone beneath its feet cracking and splintering as it fought to hold its ground.
But I was relentless, my wind magic lashing out with fierce intensity, the gales of air buffeting the beast and throwing it off balance.
With a triumphant shout, I unleashed a third, even more powerful gust, the wind swirling and twisting around the leopard like a tornado as I sought to drive it back.
The leopard roared, the sound of its fury echoing off the walls of the buildings as it struggled against the powerful gust of wind.
Your journey continues on empire
Its claws tore at the ground, desperate to find purchase, but the gale was too strong, too relentless in its force.
Slowly, inexorably, the leopard was pushed back, its body pressed against the ground by the force of the magic.
As the wind reached its crescendo, the leopard was finally driven back, its body careening into the wall as it was flung backwards by the force of my magic.
The creature let out a final, keening cry as it crumpled to the ground, its form vanishing beneath the stones and rubble as I drew my magic back.
My breaths came in shallow gasps as I took a moment to recover.
Around me, the town was in chaos, the sound of battle still raging through the streets.
I turned, my sword still in hand as I sought to assess the situation.
But I barely had a moment to prepare before I caught sight of the creature behind me - a sleek, powerful black tiger, its eyes burning with a savage fury.
The black tiger was a fearsome sight, its massive form towering over me, the power in its limbs rippling beneath its jet-black fur.
Its eyes were a vivid green, their irises dilated and savage, their intensity fixed on me as it crept forward, its body low to the ground in a hunter's stance.
Its teeth were gleaming white, sharp and pointed as they bared in a silent snarl, the fangs protruding from its mouth like daggers
With a guttural roar, the black tiger launched itself at me, its massive form surging forward with the speed of a striking cobra.
Its paws tore at the ground, the force of its charge causing the cobblestones to crack and shatter beneath its claws.
I reacted on instinct, my body twisting to the side as I unleashed a powerful gust of wind, the air rushing past me in a deafening rush as the magic hit the beast with a thundering force.
