He grabbed the panther and pulled its flesh apart bit by bit. Then he created spikes from his body that he uses to impale the panther.
Flesh flew everywhere and blood flowed around him while the panther cried out in pain. It was as if he was tearing a ball of cotton apart, not flesh.
Both its bones and flesh were destroyed by him. There was no difference between them to him.
He eviscerated the panther. Then he crushed the panther's neck and killed it.
In just five seconds, he managed to destroy the first obstacle and was already moving on to the next obstacle.
The black crow watching above the arena cawed and said, "Spectacular. It has just been 20 seconds, and the first obstacle has been cleared. It is a wonderful performance by Augustus."
It asked the audience in excitement, "And did you see what he shape-shifted into? It looks like Augustus has gained some sort of inorganic shifting ability. He has become a tougher nut to crack."
