Chapter 194 - Fateful meeting (part 3)

"Wh-who are you...?"

The gray-eyed martial artist wanted to pick up the monster's fang but their hand stopped mid-air and they looked up to ask staring in fear at the black-haired man.

"A guardian of the guardian, I suppose."

Zoemi shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and smirked mockingly at the shock in the martial artist's eyes.

"GRAOOORRGH!"

*SLASH* x5

Before any of them could say another word, the frenzied golden brown bear-like monster growled horribly and stood on its hind legs to unleash a flurry of attacks with its odd-numbered arms.

*THUNK* x5

"!!!"

The thing was, unlike how it was with the grey-eyed marital artist, the combo ended with only one hit each, as even without taking a defensive stance, the black-haired man's body turned out too sturdy for the beast's claw to leave a mark.

Far from it – Zoemi didn't even budge, causing the monster to be the one getting damaged from the failed attack.

"GHRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGH...!"

*thump* x2
