As Asher was about to slice through Rick's neck with his sword, his opponent's eyes flickered with a hint of panic.
Without wasting any moment, Rick called out his Spirit, which materialized and attacked Asher from behind, hoping to use it as a diversion while also taking his opponent by surprise.
However, Asher reacted right away and avoided its attack by shifting his position to the side before jumping away from his position.
The next second, Asher saw the true features of the Spirit; its appearance resembled a black panther with sleek, obsidian-black fur, adorned with flickering flames of fiery orange and crimson. The air around it was hot and dry, making one feel suffocated as if standing within a furnace.
"Hahaha.... You are doomed to die now, bastard! I will devour your soul with my Shadowfire leopard." Rick said with a sinister smile on his face as he pointed at Asher, his eyes glimmering with anticipation for victory.
