Chapter 304 Panda Kung Fu
At that moment, a fighting aura exuded from the Balance Panda that took Lyrian slightly aback.
It felt as though Lyrian stared at a powerful king, one that ruled the jungle.
A lone traveler that dominated all other creatures with its intellect, sheer brute strength, and ferocity.
It's calculated movements, It's menacing bite. This creature that Lyrian now felt that he was facing was the true king of the jungle.
The tiger.
"Impressive... to have such profound experience in martial arts to mimic a tiger's aura so perfectly is worthy of amazement."
He readied his own blade. "Before I send out any of my creatures... I will fight this beast myself." He grinned through his teeth.
At that moment, the panda began to slowly walk sideways, circling around Lyrian.
[WARNING!]
[A creature with a lethal threat level has blistered you with its killing intent.
- Creature threat level: GUARDIAN]
It had been a long time since Lyrian felt a horrifying chill run up his back, but this was definitely one of those moments.
The presence of the tiger in front of him was threatening and powerful, making him back up slightly.
He calibrated where the beast would attack from and matched its circular movement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFinally, the panda pounced forward. It combined its wrists, opening its two palms as though they were the jaws of a tiger.
It pounced extremely quickly and went straight toward Lyrian's nape.
The attack was so fast that it only appeared as a blur to Lyrian.
Before it could land, Garmr suddenly appeared between that attack and Lyrian.
The impact of the attack sent Garmr flying with a painful indent in his chest.
The wolf howled slightly in agony as it rolled to a stop several meters away.
The panda retook its basic martial tiger pose. Its eyes were now fully red, unlike its normal eyes from before.
"Get it, Garmr!"
At that moment, Garmr forced himself to stand. Shaking its head, it shrugged off the attack and ran toward the panda.
Seeing the incoming beast, the panda assumed the next fighting form of the tiger.
When hunting weak prey, the tiger stalked it and then went straight for the kill to the neck.
However, on fighting an oncoming powerful beast, it would assume its ferocious fighting style of paw swipes.
The panda formed claws with its fingers as it opened up its arms, poking out its chest.
As soon as Garmr entered close, the panda lunged forward and unleashed two powerful swipes.
The speed and strength of the swipes overwhelmed the wolf, as Garmr was slammed across the skull multiple times.
Lyrian rushed forward at that moment, thrusting his sword toward the panda's back.
However, the panda jumped forward and avoided the attack with ease.
Fighting against Lyrian seemed to be as easy as pie. It didn't even need to try at all to destroy him.
"Show me another style before I slay you, panda," Lyrian said as the panda faced him.
"Hmph... if you want to die by another fate, then so be it." The panda remade its stance.
"Panda Kung-Fu; Second Form: Crane!"
The panda elegantly swirled its hand around in a circular motion, bringing them to his body with grace.
It lifted one leg in the air and faced the sky with its eyes closed.
When it opened its eyes again, they were white instead of red, similar to Leon's eyes, but less ferocious.
The creature's entire presence had now changed. Now, it was calm and precise, yet felt much more dangerous than before.
This was because before, Lyrian could tell that the tiger was a beast that fought violently.
Now, however, the aspect of mystery threw him off slightly.
With an elegant path of movement, the panda stepped forward in a rhythm of quiet footprints, appearing before Lyrian in seconds.
With a circular twist, it thrust its palm into Lyrian's chest at a completely incomprehensible speed.
Again, Lyrian was forced to be deemed useless in this situation by Gear.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe one who appeared before the beast now was Tao. Before its attack could land, Tao began moving out of the way.
'Tao's speed is greater than the panda's, so it should easily be able to escape--'
lightsnοvεl The crane attack of the panda hit Tao too quickly for Tao to move out of the way, shocking Lyrian.
Tao was thrown into the air but quickly caught his balance.
"So... that is the power of the crane. So fast that even something with greater speed may not be able to counter it." Lyrian mused in awe.
The crane was a devastating creature. Snakes were known for their fast lunging attacks, but cranes were so fast that they outmatched even the snake in terms of speed and easily hunted them for thousands of years.
"Still..." Lyrian muttered as Tao began to spin back toward the panda, "In this battle of the speed of birds, Tao will come out on top. There is nothing faster than a falcon."
Tao dived down, slashing at the panda's side as it quickly darted out of the way again.
It continued this, swooping down and tearing small chunks off of the panda each time it came down.
"Speed isn't what wins fights. Too much of one thing is what is called... failure."
The balance panda suddenly stomped its leg down onto one of the wings of Tao.
"The stomp of the crane!" Lyrian said, recognizing the crane's fighting style.
When something became too fast for it, cranes held it down and began to attack it.
Before the panda could get its attack off, however, Zuuc appeared before it and pushed the panda off of Tao.
At that moment, Tao flew into the air as Lyrian took a step forward. Tao swooped down, floating above Lyrian.
Zuuc jumped back, standing behind him, as Garmr did the same.
"All versus one, let's see who will win this!"
"If you insist on going all out, then I won't hold back either..."
"Panda Kung-Fu; fifth and final form; Dragon!"
