Science/Magic 48 Facing The Lion Again 2

Regina walked behind Bloed and nodded. "Yes. Moreover, its defenses are very strong. Neither my attacks nor the demon's blows were able to significantly injure it."

Bloed nodded. The same happened with the sniper bullet. Despite leaving a hole on the lion's neck, it didn't truly injure the lion.

"So, it's the strength of an Rank, huh." Bloed shook his head bitterly. This lion could be considered as a weak Rank monster, but even so, it was incredibly dangerous.

Not only its defenses and regeneration, but even its attacks were frightening. Bloed's chest still hurt after the lion's attack, and it was even after the attack was mitigated by the energy barrier and t.i.to's armor.

If Bloed would have received the attack directly or the lion would have attacked again, Bloed would be dead.

While Bloed's group and the lion were in a standoff, Liu Ying returned to the fight. She wiped a drop of blood off her lips and clenched her fists.

"d.a.m.n it, I almost died." Liu Ying grumbled. "Hey Bloed, do you have a plan?"

Bloed nodded. "My saber can injure it. It looks like [Molecular Disintegration] can break through its defenses."

"I see, so we need to give you an opportunity to attack it, huh." Liu Ying smirked and nodded. "Easily done."

"Don't worry, master, I'll create an opportunity for you." Regina put on a determined face.

Bloed nodded. "Let's finish this monster then!"

Then, the group charged towards the lion again.

The lion was not intimidated. Once the bleeding on its leg stopped, it also charged towards them.

Regina was the first to attack. She extended her right hand towards the lion and shot an energy bullet.

The lion evaded the energy bullet easily, but more energy bullets were shot towards it, hindering its movements. Enraged, the lion finally stopped caring about the bullets and charged forward regardless of them.

"ROOOOAAAARRRR!!!" Making use of its powerful defenses, the lion charged through the rain of bullets and arrived in front of the group. Regina wrinkled her brows and formed two energy blades. She then kicked the ground and appeared in front of it.

*Swish!*

The energy blades danced and cut the lion's neck. The lion was enraged and replied with a claw attack, but Regina leaned aside and evaded the attack skillfully while replying with another slash.

Worthy of her t.i.tle as Valkyrie, Regina was not at a disadvantage against the lion despite having her stats lowered to C-Grade. She was able to move leisurely through the lion's attacks using her skillful martial arts and combat techniques.

Unfortunately, her attacks were unable to truly injure the lion and the lion could heal the damage she caused in just a few seconds. Furthermore, the lion was crafty. It baited Regina to attack its weak spots before counterattacking fiercely. If not that Regina's reactions were quick, she would have been injured more than once.

However, all of them knew that if Regina was slightly off while evading, she would be blown away.

Taking advantage that Regina was distracting the lion, both Bloed and Liu Ying flanked it. Liu Ying put into practice Bloed's lessons and used her body to attack. A kick, followed by an attack of her knee and two punches.

But just like Regina said, her attacks were mostly ineffective against the lion. Although it grunted in pain, it ignored her and put all its attention on Bloed and Regina.

However, that was a mistake.

Liu Ying's eyes turned cold. Suddenly, a giant red figure materialized behind her, and her amber eyes turned blood red. The horn on her forehead lit up brightly, and the mana in one hundred meters surged towards her body.

Liu Ying endured the pain caused by the berserk mana and tensed up her muscles. Then, she released her most powerful blow until now.

"Die!" She bellowed.

An incredible sense of danger filled the lion, but it was too late to avoid the attack. Underestimating Liu Ying earlier had cost it the brief window of time it could have used to evade.

Out of options, it raised its front paw to receive the attack.

*BOOMMM!!!*

The claw and the punch clashed, then–

*Crack!*

The lion's leg was fractured.

"HOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWL!!!*

A terrifying howl of pain shook the surroundings. Liu Ying was thrown back and her body fell to the ground, completely devoid of strength.

However, she had given Bloed and Regina an opportunity.

While it was receiving Liu Ying's attack, Regina's energy blades flashed and closed on its eyes.

The lion panicked. It hurriedly moved its head away, but one of the blades managed to reach its goal. With a disgusting sound, it pierced and destroyed one of the lion's eyes.

"HOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWL!!!*

The immense pain turned the lion crazy. It looked at the silver-haired girl with hatred and swung its other claw towards her.

But Bloed was waiting for that.

Appearing from behind Regina, he brandished his saber towards the lion's claw.

When the lion saw it, it tried to stop the attack, but it was too late. With a flash of light, the lion's leg was severed completely.

This time, the lion was not even able to roar in pain.

With its remaining eye, it saw the silver-haired girl rushing towards it with two blades on her hands while Bloed followed behind her full of killing intent.

"ROAAAAAAAARRRR!!!"

The lion roared fiercely. A powerful shockwave left his mouth, blowing Bloed and Regina away.

Then, it looked at the group–

–And ran away without hesitation.

However, Bloed's curved his lips up.

"Do you think you can escape easily?"

Instantly, metallic sand surged up from the ground.

It was Leto!

The metallic sand morphed into various chains that wrapped around the lion, stopping its movements!

Leto had been able to return to the battle long ago, but Bloed had kept it hidden to use it in a situation like this!

The lion struggled to free itself from Leto's bindings, but now that it had lost a leg and the other was injured, it was unable to exert its entire strength. It would be unable to escape from the wolf's bindings without a few seconds of time.

But a few seconds were more than enough for Bloed.

"Haaaaah!"

With a flash of light, his saber cut through the lion's second leg. Bloed then turned around and slashed again.

The lion tried to struggle, but Leto's chains limited its movements. In the end, it could only look in despair while Bloed's saber sliced its waist.

Then, Bloed walked towards its head.

Looking at the lion's remaining eye, he smirked.

"Hasta la vista, baby."

And the saber was swung down.
