Chapter 176: Mission Completed
The massive Level 9 beast turned its glowing blue eyes toward the youngest and weakest of the trio, letting out a rumbling growl of mockery.
But to the beast's surprise, the sixteen-year-old boy did not turn and flee.
His second-level Spirit Manifestation aura surged up, expanding far beyond what his realm should have allowed.
He stepped directly into the path between the advancing beast and his fallen companions.
Seeing this, the violet panther raised its lightning claws, and pounced at Jace.
"DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ME, YOU OVERGROWN CAT!"
Jace's sword blazed with a searing white light as he launched himself forward.
He didn't meet the panther's charge head-on.
Instead, he angled his approach at a sharp diagonal, sliding beneath the beast's sweeping paw by a margin so thin that the violet lightning grazed the skin of his face.
Astral Severing Strike!
