Chapter 45: Fighting the feline.
Clang...
Without having time to think, a blue light suddenly flashed in his body causing him to be momentarily blinded by its light.
What happened?
Leo absentmindedly thought as his body suddenly flew toward the trash can in the distance like a lifeless kite.
Crashing toward the trash can as his body rolled for a while until it stopped, Leo released a consecutive coughing sound.
Cough... The shield activated on its own, what... Happened?
Although there were no visible wounds on his body since it was protected by the invisible shield casted by Roland, the damage dealt by crashing toward the ground didn't activate the shield, causing him to fall in a slight daze.
Ding!
-1 health!
Not good, it's a trap... The feline deliberately put the purple scroll in the corner of the building waiting for someone to get baited by it!
Leo couldn't help but feel chills deep within from the realization. If not for the shield of Roland, he would probably be seriously injured right now.
Fortunately...
Forcefully standing as he releases a weak cough, Leo immediately puts the purple scroll on his inventory before taking out the sword given to him by Roy.
His expression was dark as he stared at the unhurriedly approaching feline in the distance before casting his gaze toward the shield.
[ Sheild Guarding (0:52)- A skill that was almost comparable to a blessing. It's a divine shield technique that grows with the realm of the caster... ]
"Only less than a minute left... I couldn't seek help from the building since most of them were still unconscious while Jake and Roland probably had no combat ability right now..."
"How idiotic, I should have waited till they all awakened before getting the corpse of the crows. Although it would be much more decayed later and I wouldn't probably gain much more materials, it is still safe..."
Feeling slightly regretful for his choices/actions, Leo took a deep breath as he gazed toward the feline before taking out most of his bronze and silver knuckles from his inventory.
Swish...
Without hesitation, Leo clenched the knuckle on his hand before throwing it toward the feline.
Snort...
Clang!
Looking at the fast-approaching bronze knuckle in disdain, the feline flicks its paw, causing the knuckle to get hit before falling toward the ground lifelessly.
Seeing that his knuckle got deflected, Leo was not disappointed at all as he again threw another bronze knuckle toward the feline...
Clang!
Followed by silver knuckles and another...
...
Hiss!!!
Seeing the 5th knuckle approaching its direction, the unhurriedly walking feline finally got annoyed as it suddenly twisted its body, directly vanishing from its location before appearing beside Leo.
Swish...
Upon seeing the feline materialize beside him, Leo didn't panic at all as he immediately activated his "Mist Illusion" and "Wisp of Poison" skills causing the feline to be caught off guard, reasoning to its senses to instantly drop drastically before Leo silently vanishing in its line of sight.
"Invisibility."
Slash!
After entering invisibility mode, Leo took a deep breath as he raised the iron sword in his hand as he slashed it down toward the caught-off-guard feline intensely.
Hiss!
"Success! F*ck wait..."
With a loud cry, the sword leaves a considerably deep wound on the feline body, causing the feline to release a deep mournful cry as it suddenly swiped its paw toward the origin of the iron sword.
Clang!
Seeing the invisible shield flash with blue light, directly deflecting the damage from the claws of the feline. Leo's body slid backward causing his invisibility to become inactive as his body became visible again in the eyes of the feline.
Ding!
-1 health
(The shockwave from the paws of the feline traveled through his body, slightly injuring him in the process.)
Seeing that his invisibility turned off on its own, Leo cursed inside his head as he immediately activated his invisibility skill.
"Damn skill, you didn't show your weakness in the description from before! Who would have guessed that you would turn off on your own!"
...
[ Sheild Guarding (0:46)... ]
46 seconds left, I should find a way to kill the feline before the shield vanishes... If I could just drag the time...
Leo silently thought as he circled the feline in the distance.
If he could just drag the time, Leo's success rate of killing the feline would definitely increase since most of his skills are good at getting an advantage in long fights.
Getting to the back of the feline, Leo took a deep breath as he focused most of his soul power on his throat... Causing his throat to expand visibly...
1,2,3...5.
After 5 seconds of contracting the soul power in his throat, Leo stared at the cautious feline who was looking at its surrounding area in hopes of finding him as he opened his mouth widely...
WaaHhhhh!
Feeling a sudden danger from behind, the feline tried to evade... Unfortunately, due to his senses being suppressed drastically by the fog, it couldn't evade the inaudible sound in time as its body convulsed intensely followed by its mind becoming momentarily blank.
Chance!
Not letting the chance slip off under his watch, Leo raised the iron sword in his hand as he slashed it toward the front legs of the feline...
Slash!
Again! Slash!
Slashing its front legs two times, Leo could slightly see its pure white bone hidden within its cut flesh, leaving a deep wound on its front leg.
Again, raising his iron sword, planning to slash the feline for the third time, when suddenly...
HISSS!
The eyes of the feline came back to life before suddenly releasing a loud mournful cry toward Leo as it opened its mouth widely, revealing the sharp teeth like a dagger within.
This...
Gritting his teeth, Leo didn't care about the approaching mouth of the feline as he decisively delivered a slash toward the wounded legs of the feline!
"I want you to BECOME CRIPPLE!"
Slash!
"Now! Telekinesis!" After seeing the wound of the feline deepened, Leo manipulated the three knuckles in the air, behind the feline...
With the "Mist of Illusion" being activated, the feline never expected that the knuckles it deflected earlier would be floating behind it.
BOOM!
Hitting the head of the feline heavily, causing its mouth with sharp teeth like a dagger to miss his body by centimeters... Leo immediately distanced himself away from the feline.
