Her muscles tensed, and just as she was about to take another step forward, a massive beast leaped out from behind a tree—a stone-skinned bear with glowing red eyes.
Its claws were as sharp as knives, and it roared, shaking the trees around them.
Su Jiyai's heart raced, but she wasn't about to back down.
She activated her fire powers, flames sparking around her paws as she darted to the side, avoiding the bear's first swipe.
She needed to stay quick and smart.
The bear charged at her, but she teleported just in time, reappearing behind it.
With a quick breath, she shot a stream of fire at the beast's back, but the flames barely singed its stone-like skin.
"System, any weaknesses on this thing?" Su Jiyai asked, dodging another swipe.
[Target's weakness: its underbelly.]
"Got it."
Su Jiyai crouched low, waiting for the right moment.
