Chapter 73: The spotted leopard

I had barely killed the wolf when I heard a loud snarl behind me.

I looked back to see a spotted leopard.

It jumped at me.

"Air wall". I said and formed a barrier of air between me and the leopard.

However the leopard was more agile than the hawk.

After all cats will be cats.

It used the air wall as a padding and jumped jumped just in time.

It landed just a few feet at me and snarled.

Snarrrll~

"One directional wind slam". I said and sent a sharp gist of air at it.

The leopard jumped of it agilely and ran at me.

"Air wall". I shouted and threw another air wall up.

This time the leopard didn't turn back, it headed straight for the air wall and slammed into it.

The air wall parted into two as the leopard flew through it unhurt.

It was flying at me with great speed so I didn't have time to be surprised or show my shock.

I hastily threw up another air wall directly in front of me.

The leopard was too close to to dodge it and it couldn't prepare for it either.

It slammed into and fell back.

The force of the collision threw me a few into the air and I landed on my back with a loud thud.

Thuddd~

Pain shot through my arms, my butt, my hips and lower back.

Arghh~ I exclaimed but there was no time to wallow in the pain, the leopard was rushing at me.

Luckily my fans hadn't fallen off too far from where I was.

I picked up the fan quickly and shouted "air arrows!" As I sent seven sharp arrows at the running leopard.

It dodged each one of the arrows and stalked at me.

Then the leopard released its own powers.

It fired two fireballs at me.

I scrambled to get out of the way and I fired a one directional wind slam at it.

The leopard dodged it and fired three fireballs at me in rapid succession.

"Air wall". I said and threw up the barrier between me and the fireballs.

Then I sent two one directional wind slams at the leopard.

It dodged them but this time one of them almost hit it and I realized what I needed to do to win.

The leopard was very alert and focused, therefore it could hone in on any attack and either avoid it or block it.

When there was more than one attack however, the cat found it difficult to cope.

This was because it couldn't focus on the two attacks at once.

Therefore he focused on one to dodge it, then shifted his focus swiftly to the next so he could dodge it as well.

That was why the second wind slam almost met it.

I knew what I had to do to win but I wasn't sure what the outcome would be.

The two directional wind slam was as hard to control as it was effective.

And while it would probably take out the leopard, it could just as well injure me or mage around us.

I wanted to keep it as a last resort.

I fired two one directional wind slams at the leopard again and once once more, it struggled to cope and barely got out.

However it fired four fireballs at me this time.

I tried to avoid all of them but one grazed my arm as it wheezed past me.

I felt pain in my arm as part of my skin was burnt slightly.

The smell of singed hair filled my nose and I decided enough was enough.

It was time to use the two directional wind slam. Sёarch* The Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If it went out of control, then that would just have to be the price I paid to get rid of the beast.

"Two directional windslam!" I shouted and fired a two directional wind slam at the cat.

It dodged the first slam but it was too slow to avoid the second one, it hit it right in the jaw, breaking it.

Blood started to pour from the wound in the jaw and the leopard snarled in pain.

Snarrrlll~

Despite the pain and tiredness I felt, I let out a chuckle.

"You don't look so tough when you cry you know?"

As if it understood what I said, the beast monster suddenly turned its gaze to me and I could see it's set determination to kill me.

Seriously, what is it with all these beast monsters and anger issues?

"Two directional wind slam". I said and fired another two directional windslam at the leopard.

This one caught it right on the chest and it fell to the ground.

A quick glance told me it was still alive but injured.

I hastily rained down air arrows on it.

The leopard let out a low bray and stopped moving.

[1 beast monster killed, + 10 mana points]

Three down, more to go.

There were no more attacks on me by rouge monsters so I ran towards the garrison of earth mages.

The first beast I would see was a small fox.

"One dimensional wind slam". I shouted and fired at the fox.

The gust of air raised it into the air and slammed it down hard.

I shot two air arrows at it just to make sure it stayed down.

The next animal was a sparrow.

It was a little comical to me that such a small bird would be sent as part of the beast army.

"Vortex". I said and shot out a vortex at the bird.

It was sucked up by the vortex and was roughly turned before the vortex disappeared into thing air and the bird fell to the ground lifeless.

The next beast was a wolf.

'My old friend'. I thought and smiled.

I shot out two one directional wind slams at the wolf and unlike the leopard, it was too slow to avoid them both.

It dodged the first one but the second one hit it in the jaw.

I sent three arrows at it just to make sure it was dead.

Then I felt a hand tap my shoulder.
