"Roaaaaaar!!!"
Roars of pain and anger reverberated throughout the surroundings! The beast had now moved back a couple of meters to prevent itself from being hit by the projectile again.
At this time, Alvin felt that his whole body was sore because of the amount of force he had to exert to send out such a projectile. He looked at his stamina attribute, and it had reduced to 35/155! That means each shot consumed about 40 points of stamina. Currently, he wasn't even capable of sending out a similar attack.
He didn't imagine that sending such an attack would drain him so much. Now, he had to immediately recover part of his energy to be able to affect the next part of his plan. He took out the last piece of saber-tooth lion meat and the other two cooked meats that he had collected from the other Level 1 beast he killed from the system backpack and immediately stuffed them all in his mouth, chewing and swallowing rapidly. He felt energy refilling his whole body as this meat entered his stomach.
[Ding! +40 Stamina]
[Ding! +40 Stamina]
[Ding! +40 Stamina]
He sighed in relief when he saw these prompts.
The silver-tailed leopard, which had now recovered from his momentary disorientation, looked in the direction that the projectile was shot from, growled angrily, and shot in that direction like lightning! Its injury didn't seem to have affected its speed at all.
At this time, Alvin was already on his feet, staring closely at the incoming silver-tailed leopard. He didn't try to run, although he is not slow in any regard; it is still incomparable to the silver-tailed leopard. If he tries to run, not only will he lose his breath, but the leopard will also overtake him, and then he will die regardless of his superior battle.
When speed and strength get to a certain extent, it wouldn't matter if the opponent had superior battle experience. It would just be a simple crush.
In such a tense moment, Alvin's mind became clearer, without a hint of panic. At this time, the benefits of having very high attributes in soul attribute and very abundant combat experience became evident. It allowed him to calmly face this beast that surpassed him by a whole four levels.
With just a thought, a similar pebble to the one he had used before appeared in his hands from his System backpack. Alvin's two eyes watched the incoming silver-tailed leopard. With his very calm mind, he analyzed the situation.
He watched its movements closely, scanning its movement path and the muscles that were responsible for each action. He was searching for the point of breach. The silver-tailed leopard was also getting closer and closer to Alvin: 150 meters, 140 meters … 80 meters!
At this exact time, just at the leopard was about to exert strength into its front legs for another sprint, Alvin suddenly arced his right arm in a position where he could exert the most strength and shot another projectile at the front right knee joint.
The projectile accurately hit the Silver-tailed Leopard's right knee joint. The moment the leopard was about to leap off the ground, the muscle relaxed, but also the two bones separated, revealing the joint. This was the perfect moment to create the most damage!
Without calm and an amazingly analytical mind, noticing this instant is impossible. The projectile went right in between the bones of the knee joint.
'Bang!'
The leopard's movement speed was too fast, making it crash to the ground, rolling a few times. Its right knee was now injured.
Alvin used this opportunity; he turned and ran while taking out another stone. After running about 10 meters, Alvin stopped again.
After rolling a few times, the leopard stopped and reoriented itself. It was now bursting with anger. It couldn't fathom how a creature that it perceived to be very weak could injure it in such a manner. It seriously wanted to tear this opponent.
Without minding the pain it felt in its right knee, it leapt up again towards Alvin. Even though its speed had reduced due to the injury, the speed it had now was faster than Alvin's. But as Leopard shortened the distance, Alvin had already shot another projectile.
"Whoosh!"
Another whistling sound came towards the leopard; this time the projectile went to another joint. Alvin, although not nervous, still paid close attention to his shots, using all his strength; it was frightening.
"Bang!"
The silver-tailed leopard fell and rolled on the ground again. After what happened the first time, the leopard rolled less and went towards Alvin as fast as it could.
Both joints in the front legs of the leopard were hit by the projectile, making it hard to maintain balance. When the beast got to a few meters of Alvin. Because of the pain and anger it felt, it decided to lunge at Alvin.
This time Alvin did not run again; he just stood there, and with a thought, the steel sword appeared in his hands. He prepared one of the strongest piercing attack stances of the [Basic Sword Arts] and prepared to meet the incoming beast.
At this time, with the silver-tailed leopard having disabled the two front legs, it used its two remaining unharmed hind legs to jump at Alvin. If he had run like a while ago and turned his back, Alvin would have already died.
Unfortunately, with Alvin's calm and analytic abilities, he already saw the desire of the leopard.
Usually, when the leopard leaps, it uses its front legs to readjust itself in case of danger or any unforeseen event. Now, because its front legs were injured, it didn't even have the opportunity to adjust itself when it saw Alvin also shooting at it with his sword.
Being the low-intelligence beast, it ignored the sword and opened its jaws intending to bite at Alvin's throat. This was the exact effect Alvin wanted.
"Whoosh!"
Blood splattered as the piercing strike went straight into the mouth of the silver-tailed leopard, shattering its tongue and throat in the process. The forward momentum of the beast further aided the sword in its path down its throat.
"Bang!" Alvin was also knocked over by the large body of the beast!
[Ding! -90 HP]
Alvin's heart beat almost stopped when he saw this damage figure. This damage was caused by the impact of the body of the beast knocking him over. If the beast actually succeeded in a single attack, that would be his end.
On top of Alvin, the silver-tailed leopard's body shook for a few seconds before stopping. It had finally died.
