Can You Really Survive In America?

Chapter 81: Mastery in the Darkness 2

As Bayo approached the lair of Osanyin's pet, the growls grew louder, filled with a pain that transcended species. The young man's heart pounded in his chest, a mix of fear and determination coursing through his veins. He was physically exhausted, his body pushed to its limits by the grueling hours in the forest. He had no formal martial training, no physical means of defending himself against a creature that could tear him apart in seconds.

But as the hulking form of the beast came into view -- a nightmarish blend of lion and leopard, its eyes glowing with pain and fury -- Bayo felt a strange calm settle over him. He remembered Amina's words of caution, her fears for his safety, but he pushed them aside. This was his moment, his trial, and he would face it head-on.
