The tiger did not try to confront it head-on. Its body darted from side to side in swift, light, elegant movements, like a deadly dance.
Blasts of wind continuously erupted, invisible blades slashing across the bear's body and leaving shallow scratches on its armor. Even so, the metallic plates protected nearly everything, absorbing most of the damage.
The bear finally managed to close the distance. Its enormous arm came crashing down like a gigantic hammer.
'Boom!'
The ground exploded into a cloud of dust, but the tiger had already leaped backward with astonishing agility. Without wasting a moment, it unleashed another blast of wind, then another, then another, creating a wall of invisible blades.
Kyrian noticed something curious. The two beast tamers remained completely motionless. They gave no orders and made no gestures.
