CHAPTER 84: A FIGHT BETWEEN MONSTERS
"Tsk... what a troublesome little bastard..." in a vast open field somewhere, a young man of a tall stature, a heroic air and of a solid posture said with a hint of annoyance in his tone, the jet-black sword in his hand vibrating causing it to emit a shrill tone to express its agreement to its master, feeling annoyed dealing with their current opponent as well.
Letting out a loud roar as it creates distance between itself and the bipedal creature in front of it, a five-meter-tall monster of a feline figure, with its entire body being covered by white fur and black stripes like the White Tiger of the east that possesses divine nature, something apparent when one manages to notice the glowing, golden pupil this monster has.
With its towering size, it doesn’t really make sense for a human who isn’t even two-meter-tall standing on his two feet should call this thing little, however, in comparison to the horrors of the size that the same class of monster he previously encountered possesses, this White Tiger is truly not that big at all.
"Hahaha, this little kitty is fierce! Why don’t you go ahead and try using that fierceness for attacking huh!? Is trash talking all you can do!?" seeing the murderous gaze of the monster in front of him, this heroic figure said with a trace of mocking in his tone, certain that his words are something that this monster understands as from his other encounters with monsters of the same class, he can be sure that all of them are sentient and capable of conversation as well.
However much he tries to taunt this White Tiger though, it just continues to refuse to reply to his provocation, its silence kept except for when it roars whenever it creates distance between the two of them.
’I would’ve mistaken those for surrender if not for this little shit being the first one to attack me...’ this figure thought to himself as he recalls the moment this monster turns around as he observes it, immediately pouncing on his direction clearly trying to tear him to pieces.
’Of course, I won’t deny the fact that I also plan on attacking it as well, but damn It is annoying to have the ambush turn against me...’ he mused to himself as he takes a deep breath, pointing the end of his seemingly alive sword towards the White Tiger in front of him, his eyes locked on its figure revealing a murderous intent far powerful than any normal ascender on the same floor as him.
Feeling this, the monster couldn’t help but flinch for a moment as it felt immense terror from just the figure’s gaze, such terror causing it to create even more distance between itself and the bipedal creature as it recovers from being stunned, intending to capitalize on its ranged attacks and swift movements to win this fight.
’Fuck! That bastard kitty is trying to run again!!’ seeing the clear intent to distance itself from him, the figure couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated as he starts increasing his pace to catch up to the clearly intelligent monster, struggling to do so as the gap between the two of them just continues to widen more.
And as the distance between the two of them becomes safe enough, the White Tiger stops widening the space between the two of them, staying on its spot as it opens its mouth wide, a surging white orb of light forming inside its mouth for a moment before it shoots it out, a straight, destructive beam rushing towards the figure’s direction in a speed faster than sound.
"Tsk, so much trouble..." the figure mutters to himself as the jet-black sword in his hand once again lets out a shrill noise as it vibrates, no longer from annoyance towards the White Tiger but rather from excitement as it feels like its master is going to use it properly now.
Swinging the sword in his hand upward as he infuses a sort of energy into it, the young man creates a night black sword wave several meters tall heading directly for the beam of light targeting him, the two forms of attack coming in contact with each other and completely decimating each other in the process.
The black sword wave completely shattering after travelling just a few meters, and the white beam of light splitting into two the moment it comes into contact with the sword wave, before it recovers and continues travelling towards the figure.
Should outsiders were to observe the fight between the two of them, they would definitely think that the figure wielding the jet-black sword is definitely on the losing end of this match, having his powerful attack being mitigated by the White Tiger’s attack, however, if one is just a little bit more observant and well experienced in battles, then they will be able to point out that while both these two has yet to use their full power, the sword-wielding figure is holding back more of his strength compared to the White Tiger.
"Damn, that attack is pretty strong..." the figure praised as he looks at the bright, destructive beam of white light heading towards him once again, even having the time to admire its pure beauty before he swung the sword in his hand once more, creating another night black sword wave, this time twice the size of the previous one.
"That should do it..." the figure muttered as he watches his attack go to completely split the white light beam apart, this time not even being damaged after travelling more than a dozen of meter, nor is it losing its momentum from when it just came out of the jet-black sword, continuing to its target at a constant rate making the White Tiger on the receiving end of such attack widen its eyes as it felt the immense danger from the sword wave.
Once again, it roars in anger as it completely cancels the attack it is using its focus on, deciding to create distance between the two of them once again, this time no longer to prepare for another attack but to escape.
