Chapter 37:Mri V The Monstrous Panther, The First Counter


    The panther moved first. A blur of black and red, striking like lightning.


    Mri barely dodged, his instincts pushing him to the limit.


    > "Fast."


    The beast slashed. Claws cut through the air—Mri ducked, twisted, countered with a brutal kick to its ribs.

    The panther staggered back. It wasn''t expecting that.


    > "You thought I was weak?" Mri smirked.


    The fight intensified. Speed for speed. Strength for strength.


    The panther lunged. Mri weaved through its attacks, landing precise blows. Each strike sent shockwaves through the air.


    Then—the beast roared.


    Its red aura exploded, burning brighter. Its body twisted, muscles bulging, teeth sharper.


    With one monstrous strike, it sent Mri flying through the trees.


    Mri landed hard, coughing. His body ached.


    > "Tch… you''re tougher than I thought."


    He stood up. His own aura ignited.


    The jungle shook. The air grew heavy.


    The panther hesitated.


    Mri grinned.


    > "Scared?"


    The panther snarled and charged.


    Mri met it head-on.


    Fists vs. claws. Power against power.


    The jungle would never be the same again.
