Chương 57: Necrotic Fiend II

"Rui, hold it steady!" Ram charged forward; his knife raised high.

With a powerful swing, fueled by his physique—now augmented by Groot and the extra physical attributes acquired from upgrading his basic techniques prior—his Physique attribute soared to 32 points.

With a powerful swing, the blade sliced through the corrupted wood, sending the spiritual flames deep into the panther's body. The flames burned through the layer of curse power protecting it with ease.

"Roarr...roar!" The panther howled in agony, its body convulsing as Ram's spiritual power worked to purify the curse energy.

Desperate to extinguish the flames, it lashed out with its sharp claws, but Ram persisted. He blocked the beast's attacks with his knife, using the weapon as both shield and sword.

Although the panther's physical attributes were higher than his, the 'Glacial Thorn' had frozen most of its body, making it harder for the beast to move and cause much damage to him.
