Chapter 55: Battle in the Core Region
In the depths of the Misty Mountains, deep within the core region,on top of a huge mountain, the roars of two distinct beasts could be heard. If someone were here, they would be astounded to find the two creatures engaged in battle.
One of them was a beast known as the mountain bear that was as big as a building. Parts of its body was covered in stone which resembles armor. Its massive paws smashed against the rocks as its strike destroyed a huge chunk of the mountain. However, there was no joy on its face as its strike missed the intended target.
A silver flash could be seen descending upon the bear as it furiously clawed at the bear. If people were present, they would be astonished to find one of the most rare species of beasts, the silver-winged tiger here.
The bear couldn’t dodge and a large claw mark appeared across the it’s chest. A roar filled with pain resounded as the bear, which was previously standing on its two hind legs was forced to descend on all fours. The silver-winged tiger, not wasting this opportunity lunged towards the bear’s neck as it attempted to bite it off.
However, the ground suddenly shook as the bear let out another roar. The silver-winged tiger was thrown off balance which enabled the bear to land a solid attack that opened a deep wound in its side. A few ribs were broken as it was sent flying off the mountain.
Only after using its wings was it able to steady its descent and land groggily.
Now both beasts were critically injured. A fierce look appeared in the silver-winged tiger’s eyes as if it had steeled its resolve.
It soared high into the sky before suddenly stopping. With its gaze on the mountain bear, it released a deafening roar that was accompanied by a silver beam of light. The light beam didn’t miss its target as it pushed the bear back several meters.
The silver-winged tiger then rapidly descended towards the mountain bear. It turned into a silver blur as it flashed right in front of the mountain bear. It completely gave up on dodging as its massive jaws clamped down on the bear’s neck.
Because it hadn’t recovered from the silver beam attack, the mountain bear was caught off guard, it swung its paws while shaking its head repeatedly trying to get rid of the silver-winged tiger.
However, the silver-winged tiger didn’t budge. Every swipe of the bear’s paw landed like sledgehammers, leaving injuries all over its body, yet the silver-winged tiger didn’t budge. It held on as its jaw continued to tighten on the bear’s neck. Gradually, the bear’s strikes became weaker and weaker until it gradually stopped resisting and finally succumbed to death.
