CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
Luck and the Large Tyrant Tiger clashed, their claws letting out tremendous lightning strikes whenever they hit one another, causing the surroundings to tremble greatly.
The Tyrant Tiger had the power and size, but Luck had the speed and explosive damage. His claws gained the element of flames and winds, enhancing his attack's speed and damage over time.
In just a couple of seconds, the Tyrant Tiger looked to be in quite the pickle, his entire body flaring with flames, burning rapidly while covered in many slashes.
"GROOAAARRGH!"
"Bring it!"
CLAAAASSSH!
Luck wasn't using any of his killer moves, nor any other transformation either, wanting to test his newest Skill and putting to use all of his stats, learning how to use his strength and body as it developed.
Although he just reached Tier 5 on Physique, he was much weaker compared to Aquarina, this was because Aquarina's body had been tempered from a young age by her father and mother's training, much like mine.
So even as he leveled up, it won't be easy to break the gap between him and the two of us. Hell, I'm pretty sure Zack has higher stats in a few things than him too.
Luck's main trump card, that even allows him to win against Tier 7 monsters by himself is his transformations, which give him divine auras and spiritual power.
This is the way he can close the gap between him and us… However, it's not like he can do it all the time though. And he doesn't want to abuse that power.
That's why he's training his best to fight physically without having to rely on transformation and boosting skills, which will eventually help him raise his stats, as stats grow the more you put your body into stressful situations and exercise.
His Beast Runes are particularly good at that, they're specifically made to boost his physique, so the more the fight, the more their "true power" will awaken.
And as for Lara…
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
While Zack decided to slay one of the three tigers, Lara decided to take care of the third, who was swifter than the one Luck was fighting against, leaner, and slightly smarter.
It was constantly trying to crush Lara with kicks and punches. However, Lara was constantly, and playfully, escaping his grasp using her Spirit's assistance.
She enveloped herself in Spirits of the Sky, and flew around like the wind, evading his incredibly fast blows, leaving the Tyrant Tiger shocked and slightly exhausted.
Lara had an incredible amount of Magic Power and Mana, and although she was handling things fine now, her physique was very weak, and she had to rely completely in magical power to survive anything.
So, naturally, she was constantly forming barriers of spirits and more, but lacked the mastery necessary to create complete arrays without wasting so much Mana.
She can brute force a lot of things, but eventually, she'll run out of Mana and then, it'll be over for her… For someone so specialized on magic power, she needs to learn how to utilize her resources properly without wasting them.
And finishing off her foes quickly too, something that might not be what she has in mind due to her playful nature. Another thing she lacks is a way to restrain foes properly.
Let's see how much she can blossom with this!

Her stats increased by a lot, especially her specializations. And she only gained… a single skill? But a rather strong sounding one!
And she also had a strange skill she hadn't used before at all, it was called… Divine Spirit Beast Transformation? Is it similar to Luck's? So she can do something similar?
Odd, she hasn't even used it now…
"Ah, this aura…!"
FLAAASH!
Lara quickly realized she had Ranked Up, her Spiritual Senses and Keen Senses Skills leveled up, making her ability to sense her surroundings and predict enemy's attacks sharper.
"GRAAAH!"
The Tyrant Tiger attacking her tried to surprise her with a blast of light magic from its hands, followed by a descending kick as it leaped above her.
However, Lara smiled confidently, as dozens of Spirits gathered in her hands, her eyes shining bright rainbow in color.
"[Spirit Fusion]! [Spirit Weaponization]!"
FLUOSH!
All Spirits she gathered around her converged together, merging together and then taking a shape and a form she couldn't create before, the shape of a huge red and green shield!
CRAAAASSSH!!!
The tiger's kick was blocked, as Lara was pushed several meters back, but kept her ground. The shield gained countless cracks as it effectively tanked the attack, and when it was about to break as the tyrant tiger smiled triumphantly…
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!
It exploded with flames and cutting winds right in front of its face, unleashing all the accumulated energy it absorbed from the impact!
Did she copy the effects of Sapphire?!
