Chapter 362: Black leopard

The black leopard pounced with terrifying speed, its massive form bearing down on Mira.

She braced herself, knowing she couldn't dodge in time.

"Hyahh!"

With a grunt, she raised her blade to intercept the beast's claws, but the force of the impact nearly knocked her off her feet.

CLANG!

The claws, shimmering with elemental energy of unknown origin, collided with her blade, sending a jarring shockwave up her arms.

The power behind the strike was immense, and she could feel the energy coursing through her blade, threatening to tear it from her grasp.

Gritting her teeth, she pushed back against the leopard's weight, but the beast's overwhelming strength made it a losing battle

"Mira!"

Alex shouted again, his voice edged with concern.

Mira's muscles screamed in protest as she held the beast off, her feet digging into the dirt for leverage.
