209 Picking a Kitten Up (1/2)

The house cat pounced forward and slashed with its sharp claws. The mutated dog barely dodged the attack by lunging forward. The cat clawed in midair while the dog tried to land a bite.

Both animals landed their feet with no damage dealt with one another. They merely traded positions which became advantageous for the mutated dog.

An arrow flew in a straight line followed by a bolt. Both attacks hit the body of the mutated cat which caused it to screech in pain. It turned around while hissing and baring its fangs at them.

When it saw that Anna and Emman were aiming once more, it quickly jumped back and landed on top of a nearby wall.

Jennie finally regained the strength to stand up at this time. Feeling a bit groggy after being sent away, the first she did was to assess the situation.

The Mutated Cat was getting pelted by arrows as it used the walls as covers. The mutated dog took this chance to jump over the wall and tackle the mutated cat into it.

The difference in traits showed at this moment. A dog typically overpowers a cat while cats were much agile than a dog unless cornered.

With the cat pounded into the wall, it shrieked in pain before hissing at the dog with widened eyes, fangs bared sharpened like daggers.

As the mutated dog continued to grind the cat against the wall, the cat started clawing at its head.

This time, the difference in rank came in. Even after getting ambushed and tackled into the wall, the mutated cat was still hanging on, unlike the mutated dog who was starting to slow down due to pain and injuries.

To escape from being pinned to the wall, the mutated cat's sharp claws dug into the dog's head. Pieces of flesh were scraped off which caused the mutated dog to tremble and take a step back.

The mutated cat saw the opportunity to kill the dog and lunged at it.

Unbeknownst to the two mutated animals, a small bullmastiff has been watching the entire scene since earlier.

When Takaw sensed that his fellow dog was losing, he quickly lunged forward to intercept the mutated house cat.

While in mid-air, Takaw's body crackled with red-white lightning. The saggy brown skin slowly tightened as his body grew in size. The forelimbs, the hindlimbs, the chins—all the sagging skin were gone. and all of a sudden, Takaw's body became tone and muscular. He became a two-meter tall Bullmastiff.

He swatted the lunging mutated cat to the ground with his paws and stepped on it. Although the cat was pinned to the ground this time, it did not want to give up and tried to claw at its attacker.

Roar! Until Takaw let out a ferocious snarl filled with murderous intent which sent the mutated cat's hair to rise in horror. It stared at the beast stepping on it and meowed as if asking for mercy.

Takaw bit the mutated cat's back of the neck and carried it towards Anna's group. It was quite a sight to see a massive dog carrying a massive cat while its legs were getting dragged on the ground.

Emman and Erin had their jaws almost dropped to the floor. Never for once have they ever thought that the playful dog they had with them could transform into something like this. The two turned to Anna wanting to complain about not telling them ahead of time of Takaw's ability when they noticed that she was also having the same expression as them: shocked.

Jennie only frowned in surprise but had no other reaction. Then she noticed the mutated dog who was limping towards her, so she quickly ran towards it while crying.

”Auu! au...”

The mutated dog sat down after the two of them met again and this time its eyes were filled with warmth as it stared at its only friend.

Jennie noticed the wounds on top of its head due to blood flowing down from it. She stretched her arm towards it but the sitting dog was too tall for her to reach its head.

The mutated dog remembered that its past owner liked to pat its head, and so he lowered itself slightly to Jennie's level. It saw the tears flowing down on her cheeks and simply licked her tears off. At the same time, Jennie tried wiping the blood flowing down from its nose but it only reddened her hand unable to erase the trail.

Takaw placed the mutated cat in front of Anna before shrinking back to his regular size. The white-furred cat looked around searching for the dog that caught it but it was nowhere to be found.
