Chapter 40: The Swift Battle

"There it is!"

William pointed to the location of the Moon Spirit Leopard and reminded his teammates.

Jason and the others also spotted the Moon Spirit Leopard with William's guidance. Elena immediately dashed towards the target.

She was the most agile member of the team and bore the responsibility of restraining the Moon Spirit Leopard. However, since it was daytime, the Leopard's stealth ability was greatly diminished. Elena's speed wouldn't be affected. She was confident she could hold the Leopard off.

As long as she could stall for a minute, her teammates could catch up, and together they could kill the dangerous beast.

The Moon Spirit Leopard, hidden in the shadows, saw everyone charging towards its direction and knew it had been exposed. Without hesitation, it turned and ran. The rugged rocks around it didn't hinder its movements. With a light step on the stones, it leaped down from the hill and ran towards the foot of the mountain.

The threat these people posed to it far surpassed those who had chased it before. The intuition warned the Moon Spirit Leopard not to let these people catch up.

Jason and the others, seeing the Leopard's decisive action, cursed inwardly. They hastened their pace towards the Leopard.

But they couldn't catch up with the monster's speed. Only Elena, the hunter, and Nichole, the Gold-ranked member, could barely keep up.

"Acceleration!"

With William's incantation, a magical light caught up to Elena and Nichole, enhancing their speed significantly.

"Well done," Elena couldn't help but praise William as she rushed towards the Moon Spirit Leopard.

When the distance between her and the Leopard was within her attack range, Elena put away her shortsword into her storage ring and drew her longbow emitting a faint green light.

"Thorn Net!"

Accompanied by a green light, an arrow shot through the air towards the running Moon Spirit Leopard.

Sensing the attack from behind, the Leopard agilely leaped into the air, dodging Elena's shot.

However, Elena's arrow was not so simple. As it landed on the ground beneath the Leopard, a network of thorny vines erupted from the ground, attempting to ensnare the Leopard.

With no leverage in the air, the Leopard could only be helplessly trapped by the thorny net. Although the thorns couldn't harm its tough fur, the net was quickly torn apart by its sharp claws. But in just a few moments, it was enough for the others to approach.

Elena, being the closest, swung her longbow. Three arrows were shot towards the Leopard.

"Marking Shot!"

"Shock Shot!"

"Binding Shot!"

Elena's three consecutive shots weren't aimed at causing significant damage but rather to control the beast as much as possible, awaiting her teammates' support.

Just freed from the thorn net, the Moon Spirit Leopard couldn't evade Elena's arrows. The arrows struck its hindquarters directly, eliciting a pained howl. Its movement visibly slowed down.

Realizing it couldn't escape the hunters like William's group today, the Leopard turned around. Its amber eyes seemed to be tinged with blood as it abandoned its escape and charged straight at Elena.

The previously reduced speed seemed to recover as the Leopard entered a frenzy. A black figure swiftly approached Elena.

"Watch out!"

Nichole, who was just behind, shouted.

Elena remained calm. She proficiently executed the Hunter's life-saving skill, "Leap Technique." A pale blue wind elemental aura surrounded her as she leaped backward, simultaneously bending her bow to shoot at the Leopard.

"Burst Shot!"

The Leopard dodged to the right, avoiding the arrow, and continued its charge towards Elena. It had realized that unless it dealt with Elena, there was no chance of escaping this pursuit.

The hunter's tracking and control abilities were too strong!

However, the Leopard's plan was about to fail. Nichole finally arrived at the scene in the nick of time, drawing her black longsword and slashing towards the charging Moon Spirit Leopard.

**Bang!**

The Moon Spirit Leopard rebounded with even greater speed than before, landing on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Even though the Moon Spirit Leopard was a Silver-ranked magical beast, only a hair's breadth away from being Gold-ranked, but Silver-ranked was still Silver-ranked. That thin line was like a chasm, firmly blocking its path to resist the Gold-ranked warriors.

Moreover, the one who struck, Nichole, was a standout among Gold-ranked warriors, almost sending the Moon Spirit Leopard flying in a crushing manner.

Nichole didn't say much, directly lifting her sword and charging towards the Moon Spirit Leopard.

At this moment, the roles of offense and defense had shifted!

Nichole arrived in front of the Moon Spirit Leopard and delivered a seemingly ordinary diagonal slash.

However, the Moon Spirit Leopard sensed the smell of death from Nichole's simple attack and dared not resist head-on. With its speed advantage, it swiftly dodged to the side, avoiding Nichole's strike.

Nichole furrowed her brows slightly. Although the Moon Spirit Leopard was a Silver-ranked magical beast, its speed was slightly faster than hers as a Gold-ranked warrior, which was quite annoying.

If the Moon Spirit Leopard knew what Nichole was thinking, it would probably cry out in frustration.

I'm an agility-specialized advanced magical beast. In this aspect, I'm just a tad faster than you, whose main attribute is strength. What more do you want?

However, as a future legendary warrior, Nichole naturally wouldn't be without countermeasures.

"Charge!"

A faint white light flashed around Nichole as her petite figure rushed towards the Moon Spirit Leopard at an extremely fast speed.

Before the Moon Spirit Leopard could react, Nichole, already close, raised her longsword, gathering faint blue electric lights on the blade.

"Thunderous Strike!"

The Moon Spirit Leopard hardly had time to react before it was struck heavily. Even the toughest fur couldn't stop Nichole's sharp blow. A massive wound spread from the Leopard's upper limbs to its abdomen, and dark red blood surged out uncontrollably.

The severely injured Moon Spirit Leopard seemed to want to struggle, but the sporadic flashes of thunderous electric light paralyzed its entire body, rendering it unable to move.

Satisfied with taking down the Moon Spirit Leopard in just two moves, Nichole snorted softly, sheathed her longsword, and happily ran to Elena's side, concerned about her elf sister who had been chasing after her during the pursuit.

At this moment, William, Jason, and Lumbos had just arrived, looking somewhat helpless as they gazed at the almost defeated Moon Spirit Leopard lying on the ground.

It feels like we didn't have much to do?

"That's on you guys, I did make a move," William's eyes glanced at Jason, plainly expressing his disdain for his slacking behavior.

"What are you looking at?"

Jason nudged William's shoulder and then walked towards Elena and Nichole.
