Kain leaped forward as the beast's massive claws swung down at him, but he remained unfazed.
A grim smile stretched across his face as he brandished his sword to block the strike.
"Bang!"
The beast's devastating blow clashed with Kain's sword, sending a metallic screech echoing through the air.
The claws of the beast, as formidable as the strongest metals, scraped harshly against Kain's weapon. The ground beneath Kain's feet cracked and crumbled from the force of the impact, but he stood steadfast, his muscles tensed and veins bulging as he pushed back against the lioness. The sudden force made the beast stagger, creating a momentary distance between them.
But Kain wasn't finished yet. A blood-red aura, ominous and divine, flowed from his veins and enveloped his sword.
This was the colour of his divinity and the god he descended from.
The divinity of Ares!
