However, the tiger seemed to be much bigger than the flaming wolf. The aura it emanated was much more terrifying too. “B-Blazing Tiger… I-It’s the Blazing Tiger!” Zain was trembling from head to toe when he saw the demon beast. He was so horrified that he even began to stutter.
Jared was confused when he saw Zain’s terrified demeanor. Although this Blazing Tiger has a scary aura and is surely powerful, there are so many of us and only one beast. It doesn’t make sense for him to be so scared. “Monkey, why are you so afraid of it? Is this tiger a powerful demon beast?” Jared asked in confusion.
“Don’t you know, Mr. Chance? This Blazing Tiger is the king of the demon beasts. I assume this part of Demon Beast Mountain is the territory of this Blazing Tiger. One Blazing Tiger might not be that terrifying. We can defeat it as long. as we work together. However, the Blazing Tiger can summon hundreds or even thousands of demon beasts. If waves of demon beasts come charging at us, I’m afraid. we won’t be able to survive,” Zain explained to Jared.
Jared finally understood the reason behind Zain’s fear. Zain wasn’t afraid of the Blazing Tiger, but of the demon beasts it might summon. Kayden and Claus also bore similar expressions of panic and fear when they saw the Blazing Tiger.
The two exchanged gazes before yelling, “Everyone, attack! We need to kill off this Blazing Tiger as fast as we can! We absolutely can’t allow it to summon other demon beasts!”
With that, Kayden and Claus took action simultaneously to attack the Blazing Tiger. The groups of people they each led also charged toward the Blazing Tiger. If they could not kill the Blazing Tiger in time, they would have zero chance of surviving if it ended up summoning other demon beasts.
The Blazing Tiger roared when faced with the incoming attacks and opened its bloody maw to breathe fire. Coupled with a surge of terrifying aura, the flames immediately devoured two disciples of Waxing Crescent Castle and burnt them to ashes.
Claus had no time to look out for his subordinates as he stabbed the Blazing Tiger’s neck with his long sword. Kayden reacted almost at the same time and sent several glowing daggers soaring toward the Blazing Tiger.
The Blazing Tiger seemed to have sensed impending danger as it suddenly waved its long, thick tail and struck Claus, sending the latter flying into the distance.
Kayden’s daggers burned and produced ear- piercing hissing sounds upon making contact with the Blazing Tiger’s body, but immediately after that, they bounced off its body instead of penetrating it..
Although the daggers did not cause much damage to the Blazing Tiger, they still inflicted pain on it. In response, the beast roared and flung its tail about like a whip, striking everyone nearby.
Its humongous claws were invincible, capable of smashing a person’s head effortlessly. In the blink of an eye, several people from Zahrin Sect met their deaths under the Blazing Tiger’s claws.
“Jared, are you just going to stand there and enjoy the show?” Kayden yelled angrily when he noticed that Jared, Zain, and Evangeline were not doing anything to attack the Blazing Tiger. Claus was also fuming when he saw the trio standing still. “If we all die, you won’t be able to escape from the Blazing Tiger either!”
Only then did Jared hold out his hand, and the Dragonslayer Sword appeared in a flash. Shortly after, the draconic essence flickered, and the Power of Dragons began gathering, causing the Dragonslayer Sword to emit a brilliant light.
Soon, a golden dragon gradually manifested behind Jared. The ferocious Blazing Tiger that was raging about was momentarily stunned when it saw the dragon behind Jared, its eyes filled with fear.
Roar! It let out one last thunderous roar before turning around and running away. “Don’t let it get away!” Kayden yelled and was about to chase after it, but Claus stopped him.
“Don’t bother. We can’t catch up to such a strong demon beast. It’s better to leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, none of us will be able to get out of here alive!” Claus exclaimed.
