Immortality System: The Last Human's Transmigration

Chapter 82 Blanca & Ezra Vs Lightning Leopard

"While I don't know exactly when you woke up... Let's just say this won't end well for you." I spoke, my voice reverberating within the area even though I wasn't directly raising my voice.

The leopard growled in contempt after seeing me speak to it so arrogantly, even though it knew very well that I was much weaker than it.

"Heh? Did I anger you, kitty?" I asked with a mocking tone, and as if it could understand me, it immediately exploded out in killing intent before launching itself at me with a blinding speed. However, unlike most people in my position, I was not scared in the slightest as an audible sigh entered my ears, making me smile brightly.

"Earth pillar."

I spoke in a mocking yet dominant voice; I watched as a pillar made of earth shot out of the ground and pierced into the sky as the leopard tried to get out of the way.

While the leopard was fast, it was not fast enough for it to become a blur to my eyes which were now lit with a crimson halo that encapsulated my pupils, nor was it fast enough for it to have the ability to change the direction of its momentum fast enough to evade the attack of my earth pillar that took 3 points of my mana.

While I could have used earth spike instead, I didn't do so since my intention had never been to kill the leopard but rather to move it out of my way. And even if I had the intent to kill the leopard, my earth spike would prove useless in front of the leopard's fur, probably shattering and becoming useless in the process since it would no longer have the ability to move the beast upwards and out of the way.

Seeing the leopard being catapulted up, I used some of my mana to energize all my leg muscles, allowing me to move at an explosive speed for as long as my legs had mana. Of course, such a thing would take a toll on my legs in the long run, but my art of wind martial art had given me a way to use my mana to boost my speed for a short while ever since reaching competent mastery from my previous novice mastery.

As my body blurred towards the blaring light of the star within the cave, I felt a vicious gaze land on me but immediately disappear in the next second as it landed on something else.

My smile only widened when I felt a familiar energy step into the plane's area and face the leopard it had just attacked as the leopard slowly descended to the ground and landed on its feet.

*ROAR*

A sky-shaking roar entered my eardrums, causing me to grimace for a moment but still move forward with one thing in mind.

'Get the star and leave!' I roared in my mind, pushing myself to the limit to not become a burden to Blanca.

On the other hand, Blanca looked at the leopard with a frustrated expression. She had seen me pause on top of one of the trees for 3 seconds as if I was trying to calculate something within my head; however, right before she could reach me, her eyes widened as my figure fell and created an enormous boom at my landing.

"Seems like I'm forced to fight you." She said with an enraged tone that I could not help but shudder at since I knew why she was angry. However, I could not let her fight the creature alone since I still wasn't confident that I could trust Blanca to not snatch a treasure for herself when she saw it, so instead, I took matters into my own hands.

Of course, this explanation only makes sense when you overlook that my battle-maniac side had taken over while my pride had almost been hurt due to how that lowly creature looked at me.

After a few more seconds of running, I felt a sense of dread overwhelmed me while every cell in my body told me to dodge. Yet, before that dread could grow even more powerful, I felt Blanca's aura appear behind me as she deflected an attack and shot forward with all her might.

Right now, the leopard was covered in blue lightning that danced on its skin while hitting the ground sometimes and dancing on there every now and then.

"Your battle is with me!" Blanca roared out as she stretched her arm and punched forward with all her might. While she might be in a more diminutive humanoid form right now, the morphing ability only changed her size and species and did not dedicate her appearance or weight.

The power of her first shot forward with an intensity that would have destroyed me on the spot, but the leopard stood tall and immediately shot out a beam of lighting that clashed with her fist, creating an enormous explosion.

As the dust cloud reached its peak in height, Blanca shifted her weight to her foot and slammed down with all the power she could muster, causing the dust cloud to separate and for the eyes of the leopard to bulge out in terror.

Its instincts at that moment told it to run as far as possible. Yet, even its beastly instincts were too late as Blanca blinked out of existence and appeared right next to the leopard, having used the power behind her leg slam to catapult herself through the air as fast as possible, partitioning the dust cloud further.

When she appeared at the leopard's side, the only thing it could feel was death reaching her hand and trying to pull him into the afterlife. Still, with a quick movement, it let out an attack and catapulted itself away from Blanca, evading the strike about to slam into its abdomen.

Although the leopard may have evaded Blanca's attack, Blanca was still much faster, stronger, and more experienced than the leopard.

The moment she saw lighting striking her way, a sly slime stretched from the corners of her lips as she struck out with even more force, allowing her fist to collide with the lighting.

The explosion that followed sent shockwaves for hundreds of meters, yet it did not end there. Blanca's fist continued to push forward and wholly eradicated the lightning before it before using the remaining energy in her punch to release fist energy that pierced through the forest and consumed anything within 3 meters of its path.
