Faster, stronger, and sturdier than him. Great.
Standing before Luke was a two-meter-long lion with a silver mane and two long fangs jutting out of its maw. It didn't look as overwhelmingly menacing as the alpha wolf, yet it carried the unmistakable presence of a predator built to dominate the battlefield.
And right now, it had its sights locked on the two humans before it.
"L-Luke…" Dalia called out, frozen in place, her face drained of color.
Luke didn't panic. He knew exactly how costly even a single mistake could be.
The monster stepped forward once, then again, its red eyes fixed solely on him.
Then it sprinted.
Luke moved at the same instant, shifting his defense and strength into speed as he swiftly lifted Dalia.
"GHUOOO!" The lion roared, jaws snapping open to crush his head, but Luke was faster.
NNIGHHH!
