The tiger woman took a moment to calm down her pounding heart. Her animal nature had taken control over her senses, feeling the impending threat, and she had reacted with all her might.
With all intents and purposes, her attack had contained killing intent. But now that she realized who she had thrown, her heart froze.
Dashing toward the king, still embedded in the tree, she returned to her human appearance, with only her ears and tail remaining.
"I'm so sorry, King Astaroth!" she immediately apologized, kowtowing into the dirt.
"I shouldn't have attacked you back! I should have dodged or taken the strike! I will take any punishment you deem fit!" she exclaimed, not even looking at him.
That's when she realized Astaroth was laughing his ass off.
"Ahahahahaha! That was blood-rushing! Who'd have thought someone could fling me around like that? I wouldn't have put all my strength behind a hit if I'd known. Ahahahaha!"
