Rise of the Horde

Xiao Chen brought the length of his spear parallel to his chest and right on cue, the Abyssal Felid pounced at him, to which he bent his body backwards at an almost ninety degrees angle. Time seemed to slow down for him as he stared at the belly of his foe, who was passing by just a few inches above him. He safely evaded the attack of his opponent.

Using his spear to maintain his balance, Xiao Chen was about to retaliate with a swing of his weapon when the whip-like tails of his opponent came for him. Raising his spear to block the incoming attack, Xiao Chen stumble a few feet back as the shaft of his weapon was whipped by the tails of his opponent, which produced a loud clanking noise as the pointed ends of the tail struck his weapon hard.

"Ugh... That's some powerful tails..." he muttered as rubbed the insides of his palms, which went a little numb by the vibration of his weapon after being struck hard. Xiao Chen stared at his opponent, that turned its head around while baring its fangs at him.. Those eyes on its shoulders were giving him creeps as he stared at them.

Approaching him slowly, the Abyssal Felid had its tails dancing wildly as the spiked end of its tails whipped forward. Xiao Chen raised his weapon horizontally above his head as he blocked the incoming tails.

He was having a hard time evading the strikes of his opponent that came from impossible angles. The Abyssal Felid was just standing in front of him while growling, but he couldn't find an opening because of the continuous strikes that were keeping him at bay. Xiao Chen rolled to his side and evaded two tails that were supposedly going to crash down on him. The rocks and the ground got shattered as the sharp end of his opponent's tail struck the ground and raises a dust of cloud.

"Damn... That would have hurt..." Xiao Chen can't help but cuss. Even without his armors weighing down on his body, he was still not a match for his opponent's speed. Rising to his feet, he pointed his weapon out at his opponent, who was staring at him. Xiao Chen didn't know how, but he felt like he was being mocked by his foe. Those eyes of his enemy that were misplaced because of some sick joke of its creator was giving out a vibe of mockery.

"Fine... Let's slug it out..." he muttered as he adjusted his grip on his weapon. He was going to trade strikes with the Abyssal Felid and focus more on offense. Slowly, he inched forward as he readied himself. Breathing in deeply, he shouted his lungs out and charged at his opponent.

The three whip-like tails came again, to which he rolled forward to evade them. Rolling under the trajectory of the tails that came in a thrusting motion, he successfully evaded and while he was rolling, he whipped his right leg upwards and gave his opponents a kick right under its jaws.

The Abyssal Felid reeled back in pain as it was taken by surprise. Xiao Chen didn't waste the opportunity that was presented to him. Flipping his body up, he dashed towards his opponent and unleashed a flurry of blows while it was still dazed by his previous attack.

He thrusted his spear forward towards his opponent, but despite being dazed, the tails of his opponent wildly danced in front of it and deflected his attack and tampered with its trajectory, sending his thrust to the ground. A tail whipped down and struck Xiao Chen on his left arm, but he was unperturbed by his fresh wound and spun his body around and along came his weapon. He whacked his opponent on the right side of its face and the momentum of his attack dragged the tails that were going to try to deflect his strike.

The face of the Abyssal Felid was pushed to one side as Xiao Chen's attack landed squarely on its face. Without missing a beat, he spun around again and brought the crescent blade of his weapon down. His target was the root of his opponent's tail. He finally got rid of the annoyingly tails of his opponent that released an ear piercing howl of pain.

The cut off tails thrashed around in a similar manner to some lizard's tail after being cut off to keep their predators occupied while they flee. "Heh... Not so tough now are you..." Xiao Chen mocked and his foe turned its head at him then pounced forward with such speed that he wasn't able to react.

Xiao Chen vomited blood as his opponent's attack landed squarely on his chest. He was now on his back and his opponent was mounted on top of him while swiping down its claws. Using the length of his spear, he was attempting to throw off his opponent with his weapon, but it seemed that he drove the Abyssal Felid berserk after he cut off its tails.

Xiao Chen's face was now full of scratches as he couldn't react in time to deflect all the attacks of his foe. Lifting his shoulders off the ground alternatively, he was trying to free himself from the grip of his opponent. The Abyssal Felid pushed its face forward with its jaws wide open. It was attempting to bite off the orc's head.

"Oh, no you don't!" Xiao Chen shouted as he pushed his spear upwards. He drove the shaft of his weapon inside the jaws of his foe while keeping a tight grip on it. Successfully, he denied his opponent's attempt, but it seemed to have driven it even more berserk as its claws came storming in. Xiao Chen's chest was now full of gashes as the Abyssal Felid kept up on its attacks.

He was in immense pain. His chest felt like it was set ablaze and burning fiercely. Xiao Chen raised both of his legs upwards after somewhat managing to free it from under his foe. He pushed them upward and hooked his legs on the neck of the Abyssal Felid, then with all his might, pulled on the neck of his opponent.

Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief albeit while being in a lot of pain. He no longer has to worry about his opponent's jaws and was now able to deflect the crazy swipes of his opponent. The Abyssal Felid shook its head from side to side to free it from Xiao Chen's legs, which were hooked around it and pulling it back, making it stare at the now brightly lit sky.

Xiao Chen was able to grab one of his opponent's paws and gripped it with all its might, and it didn't take long for him to be able to have a hold on the other paw. The Abyssal Felid thrashed around wildly while Xiao Chen strengthened his hold on his foe.

"You're not the only one who can bite..." he grinned as he brought his face near the exposed neck of his opponent and sunk his teeth into them while applying pressure on the neck and the paws of the Abyssal Felid. He tore off a chunk of flesh from the neck of his opponent before spitting it out, then he dug in again and bit his fpe in the neck.

A deep, guttural howl of pain reverberated as the Abyssal Felid became more aggressive in its resistance. Xiao Chen's face was drenched in fresh blood as the bitten neck of his opponent showered him. He didn't show any mercy as he tore more chunks of flesh from the neck of the Abyssal Felid while it continued to roar in pain.

"Your flesh tastes like sh*t!" Xiao Chen commented after spitting out another piece of flesh, but he took another bite, anyway. A large part of the Abyssal Felid's neck was already missing, torn away by Xiao Chen's bites.

It shocked those who were witnessing what was happening to their core. Their chieftain's and his foe's roles were quick to be reversed, and they now saw their chieftain as the wild beast and not the Abyssal Felid as he continued tearing off his opponent's neck with his mouth.

Xiao Chen's mouth was filled with blood and even his tusks had bits of flesh hanging on them. He could feel it. His enemy's end is fast approaching as its struggle became even more intense. Xiao Chen's muscles continued to bulge as he applied more strength, his veins threatening to pop open.

On the other side, Capricorn was having a hard time dealing with the other Abyssal Felid, even with the help of Ulfrus and Akwilah. Diving, the eagle was targeting the head of the Abyssal Felid. Retracting its wings and folding them in, Akwilah fell from the sky with great speed, but their opponent seemed to have an eye atop its head as its tails pointed upward and skewered Akwilah.

Ulfrus charged in after seeing that their enemy was busy trying to eliminate their fellow summoned creature which was beating its wings wildly in an attempt to remove the tails that went through its body. Ulfrus was about to maul the Abyssal Felid when it got thrown away by a heavy swipe of their opponent's claws. Capricorn, too, was thrown away by the tails of their opponent that swiped him away after shaking of the enormous eagle.
