Annabelle Linton dropped the torch on the spot and executed a graceful dodge, intending to let the wolf and the tiger fight each other.
But she had underestimated the tiger’s speed. Just as she was about to move, the tiger pounced on her!
In the nick of ti, Leona Grant pulled Annabelle Linton into a fierce embrace, and the two of them rolled across the ground.
"Ngh!"
The tiger’s claws had raked across Leona Grant’s back, tearing away a piece of flesh. The distinct print of its claws and bloody gashes imdiately appeared on his back!
At that mont, the tiger and the wolf began to fight, the two beasts tearing into each other.
Annabelle Linton looked at Leona Grant.
The tiger’s claws were powerful. Leona Grant’s clothes were shredded, leaving bloody marks on his back. He was bleeding!
Watching his bleeding back, a strange mix of feelings ignited within Annabelle Linton.
’Disbelief, shock, guilt... but not a single shred of gratitude!’
She had never expected him to save her.
Annabelle Linton helped Leona Grant up, and the four of them ran forward.
The tiger was far stronger than the wolf. Even with an injured eye, it finished off the wolf in just a few moves!
Then, it began to charge at Annabelle Linton and the others again!
Xylas Shepherd and Nathaniel Locke drew their combat knives and rushed forward!
They had been with Leona Grant since childhood. The three of them shared a bond forged through life-and-death situations and had spent several years in the military. They were in no way less skilled than Leona Grant.
Nathaniel Locke stabbed the tiger. As the tiger turned to attack Nathaniel, Xylas Shepherd leaped onto its back and stabbed it!
They repeated this pattern until the tiger was covered in wounds.
Just when everyone thought the tiger was about to give up the attack, it suddenly lunged toward Leona Grant and Annabelle Linton!
’Cunning beast!’
Leona Grant shielded Annabelle Linton behind him and was about to attack when Annabelle grabbed the torch, shoved him aside, and viciously thrust it into the tiger’s other eye!
Now completely blind, the tiger let out a blood-curdling roar and thrashed about wildly.
Leona Grant tid his move, leaped up, and delivered a stylish roundhouse kick, knocking the tiger back several steps.
While the tiger was stunned, Nathaniel Locke seized the opportunity to slit its throat.
The tiger let out a final roar, flinging Nathaniel Locke a great distance away.
At the sa ti, it collapsed to the ground, convulsing violently for a long mont before finally ceasing to breathe.
Leona Grant’s back was still bleeding profusely. He had lost a lot of blood, and he could feel his strength failing him.
Leona Grant braced his hands against the wall, panting slightly.
Annabelle Linton turned and supported his arm, frowning as she asked, "How are you?"
Leona Grant glanced at Annabelle Linton’s hand, which was voluntarily supporting his arm, and felt a thrill of excitent.
’She’s actually helping ? And she’s worried about ?’
"Are you nervous for ?" Leona Grant asked, looking at Annabelle Linton with hopeful excitent.
’Is that really what he should be focusing on right now?’
Annabelle Linton’s expression turned cold, and she let go of his arm.
Leona Grant, of course, wouldn’t allow it. He held her hand tightly. "Tell you’re nervous for ."
Annabelle Linton coldly pulled her hand back and started walking. "Let’s go, everyone. We shouldn’t linger here."
With that, she walked on ahead by herself.
Xylas Shepherd and Nathaniel Locke looked at Leona Grant with mocking smiles, their expressions clearly saying, ’Got shot down, huh?’
Leona Grant gave them a cool glance, rolled his eyes elegantly, and, mimicking Annabelle Linton’s cold deanor, spat out a single word: "Psycho."
Then he strode forward coolly.
"What did he say? Psycho? HAHAHA!" Xylas Shepherd was dying of laughter. "I wonder who the real psycho is."
Nathaniel Locke copied Leona Grant’s earlier action, also rolling his eyes elegantly. "Psycho."
Then the two of them burst out laughing.
The four of them walked for so distance before arriving in a circular, hall-like area.
Just as the four of them stepped inside, the stone door behind them slamd shut with a RUMBLE.
This ant they could only move forward; there was no turning back.
