บท 96: A terrifying thought

Seizing the opportunity, Alex lowered his stance and launched himself forwards, directly towards the panther's position. 

With how close the two were to each other, the panther had no time to react before Alex already had his fist dug deep into its abdomen.

Growl!

It let out a painful roar as it desperately slashed and clawed at Alex with all its might, prompting him to jump back, away from the range of the beast's claws.

But the damage had already been done.

Alex's punch wasn't any ordinary punch — his fist was infused with fire, increasing the lethality of his attack by a huge extent.

By the time his fist had come into contact with its stomach, it was already too late for the sneaky beast. With the kinetic impact of his fist packing quite a punch, it seared through the panther's skin, muscles and entered deep into its gut.
