Chapter 130: The Will to Become Stronger
The tiger charged instantly after finding out the cause of all his misery.
It leapt forward with terrifying speed, its massive frame soaring through the air like a boulder flung by a god himself. The soul shadows surged up to block it, but they were useless now.
They clung and swarmed in front of him and screeched out, but it was practically useless because it did nothing to stop the tiger. It didn’t even slow down. Its eyes locked on Liora, who was not just the cause of its pain but its enemy too.
Liora’s eyes widened. She raised her hand instinctively to command the shadows again, but her mouth didn’t open fast enough. The moment she took a step back, it was already too late.
With a deafening crash, the tiger slammed into the ground where she stood. The impact blasted the earth apart. Rocks and dirt exploded around her. Her body flew through the air like a ragdoll from the sheer force of the shockwave.
She hit the ground hard, her ribs cracking on impact. Pain burst through her chest like fire. The breath was knocked out of her lungs, and her vision blurred. She rolled once, then twice, before finally skidding to a stop.
Silence followed after the massive impact.
Only the sound of her own gasping breath filled her ears.
But she couldn’t stop.
The tiger was already coming again.
Her body screamed in protest as she forced herself up, her arm wrapped around her side. Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth. She wiped it away and stood again—barely. Her knees trembled, but her eyes were steady now.
