Chapter 27: Ch. 26 – Who Won?

The battle between Taro and the Blazebound Inferno Tiger reached its climax. Both combatants were exhausted, but they refused to back down.

With one final burst of energy, they launched themselves at each other, their attacks colliding in a dazzling display of light and shadow.

In that critical moment, Taro's quick thinking saved the day. Just as the Blazebound Inferno Tiger's fiery claws slashed through the air, Taro activated his Shadow Veil skill at the perfect timing. The protective shadow enveloped him, shielding him from the tiger's deadly strike.

The Blazebound Inferno Tiger, unable to adjust its trajectory in time, collided with Taro's final strike. The force of the impact sent both creatures crashing to the ground, their bodies sprawled across the ground.
