As the snow-white tiger boss lunged toward Sam, swinging its massive claws down at him with clear intent to tear him apart, Sam merely raised his sword and observed the motion calmly.
Because of his recent fight against Aleris and the sheer speed that battle had reached, even a level one hundred and fifty-five boss like this tiger felt noticeably slow in comparison.
Its movements were powerful and heavy, but they lacked the overwhelming pressure and precision he had just endured, which gave Sam the confidence to attempt something risky.
He focused his entire attention on the incoming claws, recalling the exact wording of [Hard Counter], which emphasized that the timing had to be perfect.
Sam waited patiently, his body tense but unmoving, allowing the tiger's attack to draw closer and closer as he measured every fraction of a second.
