The platform shattered beneath the impact. The leopard twisted at the last moment, avoiding a fatal hit, but its shoulder was crushed downward, bones cracking audibly.
It roared in pain, then darkness erupted outward violently as it used its (Night Devourer) skill.
The entire cavern dimmed as black mist spread everywhere, attempting to blind Old Ni's vision.
But within Sword Domain, he closed his eyes instead, as every grain of dust in his territory felt like a blade. He sensed the leopard's heartbeat 3 meters to his left.
Then he stepped and slashed in response.
Slash!
A deep gash opened across the leopard's flank, black blood splattered the crystals.
The beast snarled in fury as it leapt backward and raised both claws.
Hundreds of shadow spikes materialized in mid-air as it used its (Abyssal Rain) skill. They launched downward like arrows.
Old Ni gritted his teeth and spun his sword rapidly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
