My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Chapter 42 Spot Versus Shadow Lynxes

Spot followed Lucas' order immediately.

Swiftly dodging another incoming strike from one of the Shadow Lynxes, he turned toward another direction and sprinted toward it madly.

Lucas ran parallel with them a few yards away. His speed was quite slow, and he was soon left behind by Spot and the Shadow Lynxes.

Spot continued to run forward, and hearing another order from Lucas, he swiftly entered an area with many dark oak trees.

"Let loose, Spot!"

Lucas shouted from afar as he saw that Spot and the Shadow Lynxes had already entered the area where he had set up the trip traps.

"Stay in the center and out maneuver them. Allow them to blend into the shadows if they want to. Strike swiftly when an opportunity arises," he ordered. The distance between him and the ongoing battle slowly reduced as he picked up his speed.

Finally stopping fifteen yards away, Lucas took out the Armadon Tonfa and prepared to defend himself if the situation needed him to.

Ahead of him, Spot fought the four Shadow Lynxes alone with great effort.

From one simple look, Lucas could tell that Spot was stronger than any of them Shadow Lynxes.

His physique was extremely strong, and his brutal way of fighting could hardly be defended by the Shadow Lynxes.

However, as strong as he may be, Spot was still alone, and the Shadow Lynxes always relied on stealthy maneuvers to try and attack him. Using the shadow of the trees around them, the Shadow Lynxes easily put themselves in the blind spots of Spot.

And that was where the trip traps he made came into play.

Tied between one tree and the other, the trips set up a foot above the ground were barely noticeable to the naked eye after his seamless cover-up.

Suddenly, one of the Shadow Lynxes retreated from the onslaught and slightly hopped toward the shadow of the giant trees, trying to blend into the shadows to strike back if the enemy was careless enough to ignore it.

However, as it did so, its body suddenly froze—its front legs tripped by something it hadn't expected to be there. The force of its initial lunge caused its body to continue forward while its legs stayed in place, making it stumble and fall miserably.

Seeing that, Lucas' eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Nice! Spot, go!"

Spot also saw the opportunity at the first notice. Even before Lucas could order him, he had already sprang into action.

He dashed toward the stumbling Shadow Lynx in an instant, and before it could recover from the fall, a massive paw had already fallen toward its head.

Boom!

The Shadow Lynx's mind spun from the impact of the paw. Blood was squeezed out of its orifices as it struggled to calm its disoriented mind. And before it could do so, Spot's paw was once again falling toward it, this time with an added sharp claw along with it.

Blood splattered in the ground as the three remaining Shadow Lynxes finally arrived to support the fallen Shadow Lynx.

However, everything was already too late the moment they arrived. The Shadow Lynx's eyes lost their luster as Spot hopped back to the center of the trees.

The three Shadow Lynx purred in agitation and rage as they continued to surround and attack Spot from different angles.

With only three of them remaining, though, the pressure was considerably less for Spot.

Although victory was in sight, Lucas did not dare to come too close in the battlefield, lest he get targeted by the Shadow Lynxes all of a sudden. He might be confident in confronting some kids in the street, but there was no way he would fight a beast head-on if he could avoid it.

Staying on his spot, Lucas silently prayed that the Shadow Lynxes would once again stumble on his trap and create another opportunity for Spot to eliminate any of them.

The second Shadow Lynx to trip another of his trip traps also succumbed to Spot's paw and died with a swift death.

With the second Shadow Lynx's death, the situation of the battle immediately turned for the worse for the remaining two Shadow Lynx.

One of them silently appeared right beside Spot and bit his legs. Spot snarled at it and flung it to the side with such force that Shadow Lynx smashed into a tree as a result of its action.

As for the other one...

'Wait, where's the other one?' Lucas realized in horror that the remaining Shadow Lynx was no longer in sight.

The moment he realized that fact, a gust of wind suddenly hit his face.

His face lost its color as a shadowy figure leapt in front of him from one of the tree shadows around him.

"Shit!"

Lucas cursed out loud as he brought his two arms upward.

Cling!

The sound of metal hitting metal echoed in the area as sparks flew in the Armadon Tonfa in Lucas' hand.

'Too strong...' Lucas grimaced in pain as he felt the force from the impact of the Shadow Lynx's paw landing on the Armadon Tonfa in his hands. His whole body shook as he felt as if a sledgehammer had struck his arm. His muscles taut as he endured the pain.

Gritting his teeth, he immediately redirected the force away by flinging the Armadon Tonfa to the side as he hopped away to retreat.

The Shadow Lynx brushed past him and landed softly in the ground. It immediately turned its body and lunged toward him once more. Its speed was incredible, as it managed to leapt in front of Lucas once more. Its paws extended forward, slashing toward his neck. Continue reading at empire

Lucas was barely able to react. His heart beat faster than it ever could. However, his thoughts remain calm and composed.

Although he did not expect this situation to happen, he had always prepared himself for the worst that could happen.

Rotating the way he held the Armadon Tonfa, he smashed the Armadon Tonfa toward the oncoming paw of the Shadow Lynx, blocking its advances for a brief moment. However, that brief moment was all he needed to hop away and retreat once more.

Feeling the force reverberating through his arms, Lucas gritted his teeth and retreated away as fast as he could.

The Shadow Lynx quickly followed behind him, hopping toward one tree shadow after the other.

Although he was retreating, Lucas' eyes had always been glued to the Shadow Lynx, afraid that it would disappear toward his blind spot once again. This way, he could also respond, evade, or block its paws if needed.

In order not to hit a tree while retreating, he even especially ran toward an area with fewer trees. It just so happened that the shadows in that area were considerably less as well. Although there were still shades coming from the tree leaves, it was considerably less dark compared to the trunk's shadow.

Arriving at the center of that clear area, Lucas prepared to meet the paw of the Shadow Lynx with his Armadon Tonfa once more.

However, at the next moment, Spot has already appeared with his paw descending toward the Shadow Lynx's head.
