Elena was moments away from being devoured by the beast when she suddenly vanished, slipping into her space just in time.
Seeing that Elena had disappeared, Ethan let out a sigh of relief.
He focused intently on the falling beast, which was now thrashing in the air, confused and furious as it searched for its prey.
The residents' descriptions of the roaming beast had been accurate.
Its black fur was matted with filth, and its body was riddled with injuries that oozed pus.
Its teeth were razor-sharp, and its claws could slice through nearly anything. The creature was as large as an elephant.
It wasn't a wolf or a tiger, as the rumors suggested—it was a mutated cat.
He sighed, eyes fixed on the beast as it roared in fury.
Meanwhile, inside her space, Elena stood stunned, still processing the sight of a Tier 1 mutated beast she had encountered moments ago.
