God-blood are mysterious substances that contains various elements such as abilities, God-art and even memories of God-inheritances.
Karl's eyes lit up and he extended his forearm blade, slicing through the skull of the Shadow Panther.
It was a very gruesome sight and the smell was incredibly horrible. However, it was Karl's first time, he would only get better over time.
The skull was thick but luckily Karl had smashed them to pieces due to anger, allowing him to sieve through the brain of the black panther.
In the next moment, Karl's eyes widened in shock and he gently took out a dark colored organic material embedded in the brain of the Panther.
"I'll be damned."
Karl said in surprise. Wasn't it said that this kind of stuff was very rare to drop, especially from low level monsters like this.
Was his luck finally turning around?
Suddenly, Karl's ears twitched. The thing about his strength increasing by four times was that his sense of smell, sight, touch and taste had also increased by four times, making him smell, see, hear and feel things four times that if a normal individual.
Right now, he hadn't truly noticed the changes due to the shock of death. However, the adrenaline in his system was starting to fade and he was beginning to take notice.
For example, he noticed the grass behind him seemed to snap and the ground seem to have vibrated.
Karl's head tilted and he turned sideways to check what it was.
Lo and behold, two glowing eyes stared at him with an uncanny expression.
Karl blinked his eyes as though trying to clear a day dream from his eyes. However, he didn't seem to be day dreaming.
Slowly, the eyes got closer as the beast slowly cat-walked towards him.
Karl's heart dropped and he slowly got up, placing the God-blood in his pocket.
'I'm doomed!'
"Shiiiing!"
Six blades extended out from his forearms as he bent his knees slightly.
However he realized the beast didn't seem to be staring at him.
'Does it want to eat the corpse?'
That was Karl's thought a second ago until the beast got even closer and he saw the beast clearly.
The beast was massive, the size of a large horse, almost 2 meters in height with sleek dark furs and streamlined muscles that enunciated its toned figure.
It was another Shadow Panther, an Elite-Level monster!
Karl's heart immediately skipped two beats as his face turned pale.
'I'm don't for!'
'I killed it's child!'
'Heavens, I was simply joking!'
This time, he knew he was doomed for sure and his legs almost gave out.
The beast continued walking forward slowly and Karl continuously retreated until he was five meters away from his previous position.
The Shadow Panther finally reached the corpse of the smaller Shadow Panther. It slowly folded its legs, laying in the ground, on the same level of the corpse and gently used its face to gently nudge the corpse, turning it face up.
As the face was revealed, the Elite Shadow Panther whimpered and whined, turning around in circles and nudging the body once more.
Seeing the body didn't move, another whimper escaped its lips and Karl knew in that moment, he won't die a good death.
"Awwn, really touching."
Karl couldn't help but whisper in sadness. However, he immediately regretted it.
The shadow Panther suddenly turned its head towards him and its glowing eyes locked onto Karl.
"ROOOOOAR!"
The roar was filled with grievance, fury and death!
Karl's expression changed drastically and his pounded hard like a turbo engine as blood pumped heavily to his system.
Enlarged veins expanded from his chest and rose to his neck and side of his eyes.
His strength soared as his physique reached its peak. At this moment, Karl felt as though he would actually be able to kill the Smaller Shadow Panther if they were to fight once more.
However, a shadow suddenly appears before him like a ghost.
Karl's eyes widened and he screamed.
"Upgrade system by one level!"
Simultaneously, he raised his hands and was about to cross them, but before he could react, Karl felt as though he had been hit by a wrecking ball.
"BANG!!!"
A massive claw smashed into his face and his skull caved in like a deflated soccer ball!
[+999 damage points]
His entire body went soaring backward like a bullet as he smashed through through multiple trees with an astonishing amount of force.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
[+9 damage points]
[+9 damage points]
[+9 damage points]
The trees immediately shattered into thousands of splinters, spreading out in all directions like bullets.
His body skipped four times on the ground as the remaining kinetic energy slammed him heavily into a massive boulder.
"Bang!"
[+99 damage points]
The force, transmitted into the boulder and cracks appeared on its surface.
In that instance, Karl died without a shadow of doubt. With a face as bashed in as that, shattered spine and ribs, twisted arms and legs as well as impaled organs, there was no way even a Demigod would live through that.
He wasn't even able to resist for a single move before he died. It's true what they say, Elite Monsters are another breed entirely.
The Shadow Panther's figure materialized as it's pure dark fur glinted crimson in the dark moon light. It bared it's massive fangs towards Karl's direction, its growl resounding like thunder.
But then its gaze turned soft as it turned towards the corpse of its cub.
