Chapter 284 - 237 : Angry Tiger (1/2)
The red arc, like an unstoppable and sharp blade, cut more than forth of the White Tiger's body, causing a mass of flesh and fountain of blood to fall below.
The tiger rotated its body so the arc hit it from behind thus severing its right leg and its tail once and for all. Its behind became mangled flesh and boiling blood that kept gushing out nonstop. In response to this horrifying wound, the tiger roared loudly as it showed a savage look.
It disregarded its injury and leapt at Swain, who now had a pale face and shivering body. It was apparent that his last strike required a significant amount of energy, it depleted him and rendered him unable to move for a short period of time.
Unfortunately for the tiger, it wasn't going an easy feat to bypass the other and directly hit the defenseless Swain, even with its incredible speed, it couldn't ignore them.
Curtis had put the spear on his back and unsheathed his sword and held his shield, he stood in front of Swain and raised his shield while chanting a short incantation.
The silver wolf's usually red eyes started pulsating with a bright blue light, this lead to the world becoming grey and the movements of his allies and foe alike became much slower, almost freezing mid-air.
He activated [Transcendence] and [Eternium] at the same time, generating Natural lightning around him and covering his body with it while also adding a mix of ancient flames and Dark Magic, boosting his Agility to its maximum.
He didn't use the Griffin's skill as he deemed it unnecessary for the time being, its cost isn't something to laugh at and losing more Mental Power(permanently) won't do him any good if he ever wants to overcome the imminent death that befell on him due to breaking his chains.
With a body covered by three separate attributes, each complimenting the other and transforming his appearance from a ferocious silver wolf to a green lightning wolf with two large wings on his back, one made from dark red flames and the other jet black with dark flames on its edge.
Arthur focused his vision on the White Tiger, which was the only one that was moving at a moderate speed even after he used the special ability of his eyes. He crouched his body and, like a cannon, charged at the tiger head-on, planning to crash into it and purposely send it flying toward Astrith, who was more than prepared to welcome it.
When he was only a few meters away from the Divine Beast, the time finally regained its normal speed, the tiger which was supposed to crush Curtis and finish Swain, was momentarily surprised as it felt Arthur's presence so close it.
So far, none of its enemies could hit it when it was moving, moreover, the angle Arthur aimed at was a blind spot. The tiger couldn't lower its speed at such a crucial time or else the others would bombard it with attacks again so, in retaliation, it used its fur to sent countless white spikes at Arthur, who ignored them and continued his powerful charge.
The white spikes were halted mid-air as they clashed with the strengthened Dark Barrier, although they weren't completely deflected, the split second that the Dark Barrier managed to buy for Arthur was more than enough for him to finally hit his target.
However, contrary to his expectations, the second he hit the White Tiger, the latter transformed into a puddle of weird acid that touched every part of his body.
His health didn't decrease but his speed suffered a great loss, it was as if he was carrying a mountain on his back. The powerful charge was for naught as the target used some kind of trick to evade it.
This was the first time the White Tiger such a technique so Arthur couldn't have predicted such an outcome, nevertheless, he didn't despair, he calmly assessed the situation and relied on his map and sense to locate where the true White Tiger was.
