" Perhaps you're not lying, but all the more reason to kill you." The Alpha Eagle proclaimed resolutely, before turning his head up to give a complicated and apologetic gaze to the White Avian Qewie who was anxiously watching their fight a couple of hundred meters above them.
All of a sudden, the Golden Were-Eagle's aura underwent a radical shift in atmosphere. A demonic presence of boundless savagery and cruelty began to radiate wildly from the half-man, half-beast warrior. The spirit energy fluctuations were so disordered that one would suspect that his whole soul was about to explode.
Then Jake noticed the first change. The Were-Eagle, nearly his size in his non-miniaturized form, experienced a sudden growth spurt, its vast size and wingspan soon covering the Mutant with their gargantuan shadow.
You may wonder why Jake doesn't use his full arsenal and techniques right away, despite his great intelligence. (except for the sake of a plot twist, of course).
The main reason is that here the enemy is very strong, but above all, and we can easily forget it, these fights happen at a dizzying speed. Against an ordinary human, Jake would literally have minutes, hours of thoughts to plan his next moves and even develop, improvise new techniques if necessary. Against a faster enemy, it is obviously more complicated. Especially when emotions get involved.
