"Hey! Come here, fierce dog!"
Kaizoku tried to strike Cerberus's right leg with his right hand.
Before he could land the hit, Cerberus's middle head swiftly caught Kaizoku's right hand in its jaws. The middle head began toying with Kaizoku, jerking him up and down repeatedly.
"SYLPHY!!! HELP ME!" Kaizoku screamed in terror at the top of his lungs.
"OH! LOOKS LIKE CERBERUS IS TREATING BILLY AS ITS NEW TOY!" the announcer's commentary energized the crowd, who cheered as they watched Cerberus playing with Kaizoku.
Sylphy watched in fear as Cerberus toyed with Kaizoku, but her fear didn't stop her from fighting to save him from the middle head's grasp.
Taking deep breaths, Sylphy steeled herself.
"Huff, huff, huff... Alright Sylphy, you can do this..."
She extended her sharp claws from both hands.
"Come on Sylphy, you've trained years for this..."
She assumed a stance ready to sprint.
Sylphy crouched in a starting position to maximize her speed.
"Ready... 1... 2... 3!"
After counting down, Sylphy darted forward like a wild predator. She clawed at Cerberus's left leg to climb up its body.
Dodging all attempts to bite from the left head, Sylphy finally reached the top of Cerberus's massive, broad back.
Still running, she charged toward the middle head that was busy playing with Kaizoku's right hand.
Sylphy leaped and plunged her sharp claws into the side of Cerberus's head, raking them down to its neck.
The attack forced the middle head to release Kaizoku's right hand in pain.
Sylphy continued clawing down to Cerberus's belly before withdrawing her claws.
"Void Walk!" she used Void Walk to save Kaizoku before he hit the ground.
Carrying him in both arms, Sylphy rescued Kaizoku and ran far behind Cerberus.
She stopped once they were at a safe distance.
Kaizoku, still in Sylphy's arms, vomited on the ground from the effects of Void Walk.
"Oh... I'm so nauseous, and my right hand hurts terribly," Kaizoku said weakly while his hand bleeding.
Seeing Kaizoku's pained face, Sylphy felt sympathy and offered, "Kai... You're not ready to fight. Why don't you rest? Let me handle Cerberus."
"No... I won't give up that easily, I am a man of his word. I will do everything to end this fair and square! Animals never defeat me, no animals can defeat me! Whatever its size is!"
Kaizoku pushed her sideways, falling from Sylphy's arms.
"I still have one hand left, my left. We can finish this fight..." after saying this, Kaizoku forced himself to stand, despite his dizziness and throbbing right hand.
"Kai..." Sylphy could only watch in moved silence at Kaizoku's determination.
Though standing, Kaizoku looked extremely weak. Blood still flowed from his right hand, and vomit stained his right shoe.
"Hey... Sylphy... Give me one of your sharp claws..." Kaizoku said softly and weakly.
Sylphy obliged, biting off her right thumb's claw. As soon as it detached, a new claw grew back within seconds.
Kaizoku gripped the claw tightly, ready to plunge it into Cerberus's body.
