Chapter twenty one... Impossible

There were seven in total and it seemed like two big ones were having a battle. Then suddenly a stone hit one of the fighters on the head causing it to turn his head towards the direction the stone came from and all that could be seen was an eye with bushes covering part of it. The lion roared and ran towards the eye, immediately it was out of sight a boom was heard and a cry of pain and after that no noise was heard. Two went out this time watching each other's backs and then a whip came from nowhere and flung one of the lions to the air, the other was startled and started growling to intimidate his unknown opponent and then a fist came from nowhere towards the softest part of his body, supposedly it's belly, the punches came one after the other and then when the lion was about to counterattack, an ice spear flew towards it's head, it moved to the side and dodged it succefully but it changed direction and went straight for the lion's head, it was about to dodge but then his brethren fell ontop of him and the ice spear hit him instead. Looking at it's dead comrade, he let out an Almighty roar and after that a sword slashed it's head right off,

"I hope it didn't alert the others" Jason said sheathing his sword and then he drew it again,

"shit" He shouted and jumped unto a tree, the next second the remaining four came out and one followed, it was far bigger that the rest and it's mane was flaming,

"We will need all of you for this" Jason said and the rest came out,

"I and Chris would handle the four, you two keep the big one busy" Carin said and started ice skating towards the four and in front of her something started to form,

"Bed of ice" She mumbled closing her eyes and a giant bed looking object made of ice formed and on the other end, it had many sharp spikes,

"go" Carin shouted and then the bed of ice moved at an incredible speed that startled the four, three were able to dodge but one got caught up in the ice and died immediately. Chris jumped out of nowhere with his fist slightly red and then he landed on top of one of lions while it was still in mid-air, killing it immediately,

"Let's go" Chris said running at the remaining two who in turn ran at them as well, Chris used Ki to amplify his legs and boost his speed while Carin made another bed of Ice following the lions, then shifted to the side dodging the attack only to see Chris already ther with his fsts out, they were afst enough to tilt slightly to avoid a fatal blow, one then bit on Chris's hand while the other used his heavy paw to slap Chris away,

"Carin...over to you" Chris said in pain and then Carin skated towards the two who were still open due to their last attack, she froze their legs to the ground and then out of her came two identicle Carins that seemed to also be made of ice, they threw their blows dazing the lions and then Carin made two ice swords and cut of their heads,

"Done" Carin said turning back to check on Chris's condition only to see him already healed up thanks to Tom,

"here" Tom said and a green arrow formed, he shot it at Carin and when it hit, her wounds started to heal,

"ahhhh" A scream was heard and The duo quickly ran to check on Jason and Garry only to see them both in critical conditions, Tom got straight to work on healing them while Chris and Carin were left with the Leader of the Pride, judging by the burnt trees, it had a fire ability,

"A beast with an ability, meaning it's a magic beast, and the lowest rank for a magic beast is A+ rank, the information was wrong" Carin said and fell on her knees,

"Running is useless, it's too fast and it won't let us go after killing his pride" Jason said getting up and they understood their situation, Garry was their best option since he was fire's natural enemy. First Chris deemed this a big enough situation to use his power, red cracks started to a appear on his skin and it gave off a slight heat wave. He ran in and punched the lion, his punch was both empowered with Ki and Tyr's excess energy so it was extra strong, or so he thought, th lion moved some steps back in surprise but other than that, no scar appeared on it. Garry activated his octupus mode, condensing the tenticles and now he was as bif as the Lion,

"I have an idea" Garry said reshaping the uctupus into something elso,

"Nice" Chris said and deactivated his fire enhancement mode. Garry's water monster now looked like a lion itself, the two lions ran at each other clashing and sending shockwaves everywhere,

"Come here" Jason told Chris and then whispered into his ear. Garry was using all his power to attack the wolf yet they were still tied,

"so technically, Garry is now as strong as an A+ ranked" Chris said watching to fight and then Jason raised his hand,

"Temporarily...,... His power is drainin by the second, at most he has ten seconds left" Jason said sensing Garry's mana. Garry also knew this so,

"If I'm going down, you're coming with me" Garry bit the lion's head and condensed his teeth even more causing it to pierce into the Lion's head and then Garry put his hand down and the water consumed the Lion and it seemed like it was about to give,

"Yes" Carin shouted but then The lion let out a roar and combusted evaporating the water and pushing the others away,

"Impossible" Carin said and the Lion started to walk toward them and all of them were drained,

"this is the end" Carin said giving up hope but then suddenly a man with black and white hair came out with a numb face,

"oh, found you" He said and then flew towards the Lion, the lion turned it's attention to the new guy and blasted him with fire but then,

"Na-ah" he said from behind the Lion and a bright slightly golden light appeared and formed a straight line passing straight through the Lion's head and killing it instantly,

"oh hey" the guy said waving at the group.
