Back to Back Quests

His fist connected to the moose, and he felt all his power and speed converge on one point the moose's head. The next thing he knew was the moose's head was gone and its body was skipping across the lake away from him. "Holy shit!! just how strong am I right now?"

Tristan had slight fear from how much he seemed to be changing and how strong he could become. He activated dash for a second time and ran towards where he launched the moose.

Tristan read the last part and felt a shiver run down his spine, if he wasn't the apex predator here with his strength what could be?

Just as he finished the thought he felt an immense sense of danger and instinctively ducked and turned around in time to see a large panther flying right over him. His reflexes saved him from a for sure killing blow however the panther shifted mid-air and reached out a ginormous clawed paw and ran it across Tristan's face as he flew by, leaving 3 long scratch marks up his cheek over his eye, if the claws had gone any deeper he would've lost his left eye completely. As it was blood was covering his face and distorting the view of his eye.

The panther landed and just like that it vanished out of view.

Tristan immediately activated transformation and felt his strength and senses grow. All big cats are apex predators, they are masters of ambush attacks and camouflage. While the strength of the panther was likely alot less than Tristan's at the moment its agility was far greater and its perfected camouflage and ambush attacks make it one of the most dangerous wild animals one could find on earth.

Tristan racked his brain for dealing with the panther, the quest made it clear he can't abandon his kill and run away, and even if he did likely the panther would be faster than him and be able to hunt him down.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw a black streak and prepared himself for the next attack, he turned and charged forward preparing to take the panther head on so he could use his claws and sink in his fangs utilizing all of his offensive means, he met the panther midair and quickly dug his claws in and tried to sink his teeth into its flesh as he did this the panther contorted its body and kicked its back legs into his stomach digging into him deeply. Tristan steeled his mind and fought the pain to bite down on the panthers shoulder, he bit down deeply and heard a crack from its shoulder, after this both him and the panther disengaged each other.

Tristans guts were almost about to fall out of his stomach, and the panthers front leg was dangling completely snapped in two.
