Osiris was back in the air, flying through dusk forest towards the center, on his way to hunt after having breakfast with Adam and his two new wives.
Osiris still had a smile on his face after thinking about how cute his two lovers were, however it soon faded as he got further into the forest, turning into a face devoid of emotion.
Only indifference remained as he flew, eventually Osiris had flown far past the spot where he killed the lion and was now in the third ring of the forest, around 1,100 miles in.
Osiris had noticed that the forest seemed to be split up into rings, with the outer first ring being 500 miles wide, and filled with first order and other normal beasts.
The second ring was about 400 miles wide, and filled with peak first order and many second order beasts, such as the lion that he killed yesterday.
The third ring, where Osiris was now, was abundant with many peak second order beasts and a couple third order beasts from what he could see, and if he had to make an educated guess, would say it's around 300 miles wide.
However, from the fact that he couldn't seem to find any peak third order beasts and that there was still a couple hundred miles to go towards the center, Osiris believed there were most definitely fourth order beasts living in this forest, and possibly the chance of a fifth order beast ruling over it.
Back to his current situation, Osiris spotted a black leopard, around 11 ft long and probably stood up around 7 ft tall, resting on a tree branch, however he diddnt dare treat this leopard like he did the tiger, as this beast was in the third order.
Early stage third order to be exact, from the strength of its aura it was giving off, and Osiris wouldn't take this beast lightly as this was the first third order beast he was going to fight.
It had to be known that the increase of lifespan one gets after entering a new order wasn't just for show, as it is relative to the power one receives after they enter that order.
And third order beings gaining a whopping 1,000 years, more than the first orders 300 and second orders 600 combined, gives you a hint at just how much more powerful one gets.
And to give a hint at the amount of power one holds once they reach the fourth order, their lifespan increases by a mind boggling 10,000 years, ten times that of the third order and the reason he didn't even think about challenging one without already being in the peak of the third order at least.
Back to Osiris, he decided to land on the ground near the tree to see how the leopard would react, however he didn't know whether to laugh or seethe with anger by the fact that the leopard dismissed Osiris's presence altogether, not even attempting to look up at him.
It had to be remembered that Osiris was technically still within the peak of the first order, as he hadn't even begun the refinement of his bones and viscera, that meant that though the leopard sensed a deadly danger coming from Osiris, it dismissed him since it believed anything in the first order had no way of endangering its life at all.
Even with Osiris's imposing stature, the leopard didn't care, but that made Osiris want to defeat and kill it more as he couldn't stand a mere beast that had underestimated and looked down on him.
Osiris's pride as a dragon flared as he charged at the giant 100 foot tree and slashes his razor sharp claws across its thick trunk, severing it across and leading it to crash down with a resounding.
*BANG*
And the black leopard, now furious at its resting time being disturbed by a large first order creature, did not even hesitate as it charged at Osiris, full of killing intent.
Osiris however was satisfied at his provoking and charged at the leopard as well, resulting in his claw and the leopard's paw slamming into each other in a test of strength.
To the leopards dismay, Osiris seemed to be evenly matched if not stronger than itself, and the leopard ended up being sent back a couple tens of feet, however it still managed to land on its own paws as it stared at osiris with a serious look, not underestimating its opponent in the slightest now.
Osiris though took the initiative this time and charged back at the leopard, but with the leopards body built more for speed than power, it doged to the left of Osiris before leaping at his neck and latched onto his throat with its teeth in an attempt to rip it out.
But it only managed to barely sink its teeth into Osiris's thick scaly hide, drawing some dark golden blood from his wound.
Osiris, fully enraged now at the fact that he drew blood, grabbed the leopard by the tail and yanked it off of him, slamming it on the ground like a mallet.
Seeing the leopard crawl out of the crater he had just created, Osiris couldn't help but praise in his mind.
'Indeed, the third order is a lot stronger than the second order, as their spine would have been fractured had they taken that blow'.
Focusing back on the battle, the leopard was a lot more bloodied and beat up than the beginning, but with the increased stamina of the third order combined with the toughness the second order received, leading to his battle lasting longer than it usually does.
Osiris charged for a final time, knocking it onto its back with a swipe of his claw and jumped on top of it in an attempt to finish the battle.
The leopard, far from giving up its life, attempted to struggle as it bit and clawed at Osiris, enraging him more as its claws managed to tear into his hide and draw blood.
Wanting to quickly end this, Osiris managed to hold down the leopards arms and tore into its neck like it had attempted on him before, except this time Osiris had the power to pull the move off as he tore the leopards windpipe out, its life quickly being snuffed out after giving in to its injuries and choking on its own blood.
