The small group of men had only advanced a few meters towards the source of the scream when the leader noticed something in front of them. In under a second, a flash of lightning erupted from the trees in front of them, and large blue lightning tiger rushed towards them.
It was only because Edward noticed it before the spell was cast that he could cast a first circle, earth element protective spell. The others were not so lucky. The lightning tiger moved with such high speed that he had already butchered several of the men, before they even noticed he had moved.
The small wall of earth, protecting Edward, had been shattered immediately, sending him flying away, but saving him from certain death. The others quickly noticed their companions turning to dust and began to panic as they scattered away.
