Jackson was forced to keep moving as it darted around him, attacking from all angles. He kept his distance, deflecting the attacks as he shuffled his feet around, keeping himself away from his final opponent while waiting for his chance.

The panther appeared right before him, and he ducked to the side, barely escaping its claw. He turned, slicing through its thick hide into the powerful muscles in its foreleg.
