Infinite Mana In The Oasis

Chapter 277 Eren vs Dire Tigers P2

Grrrr!

The male dire tiger lunged forward, its claws slashing through the air, aiming to rend flesh and draw blood. Eren evaded the attack with a swift side-step powered by Blitz Steps, his movements guided by agility and a deep understanding of his opponent\'s tactics.

However, the beast was relentless, its feral instincts driving it forward.

Eren retaliated with lightning, unleashing crackling bolts of electricity from his fingertips. The Rank 2 male dire tiger, momentarily stunned by the sudden surge of power, snarled in defiance. It used a simple yet potent fire-element inherent spell to coat itself in flames and boosted his overall offensive and defensive capabilities. The beast shook off the effects of the lightning and charged once more, its immense strength evident in every sinew of its being.

Recognizing the need for a more potent attack, Eren conjured a swirling vortex of fire, enveloping his hands in searing flames. With a focused gaze, he launched a concentrated blast of fire at the male dire tiger. The flames licked at the beast\'s fur, scorching its skin and eliciting a pained roar.

The male dire tiger, undeterred by the pain, retaliated with a flurry of claw strikes, its razor-sharp claws leaving deep gashes on Eren\'s flesh. The lightweight leather armor offered some protection, but it was not impervious to the beast\'s relentless assault. Eren gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as he calculated his next move.

Harnessing his knowledge of Spell Integration, Eren tapped into the combined power of the Alfem, Igni Shards, and Igni Breath. Another flock of fire-element birds was conjured around Eren.

The fire-element summoned creatures rallied around him, their presence providing a shield. They engaged the predator in a fierce battle, their elemental prowess matching the ferocity of the beasts. Meanwhile, Eren tried to recuperate using his healing spell along with a simple healing potion he bought from the city market.

With a renewed focus, Eren channeled the essence of elemental fusion. He infused his lightning spells with the power of fire, creating a devastating combination that crackled with raw energy. As he unleashed this amalgamation of elements upon the male dire tiger, the forest seemed to tremble with the sheer force of the attack.

The Rank-2 male dire tiger, sensing the impending danger, launched a final assault, its claws tearing through the air with deadly precision. Eren\'s evasive maneuvers were not enough to completely avoid the onslaught, and he suffered deep gashes across his body, blood mingling with the sweat on his brow. Yet, fueled by the sheer power coursing through his veins due to his infinite mana core, he pressed on.

The elemental fusion spell reached its crescendo, a swirling vortex of fire and lightning colliding with the male dire tiger. The resulting explosion consumed the beast, flames dancing along its form, intermingling with sparks of electricity. And when the beast was finally too stunned to move because of the sheer volume of the elemental attacks on him, its head was severed by Eren\'s Tachi.The once-fierce predator let out a final, agonized roar before collapsing to the forest floor, defeated.

Eren stood amidst the aftermath of the intense battle, his breath ragged and body adorned with wounds. The other three dire tigers, witnessing the demise of their leader, faltered for a moment before launching a fierce assault at Eren\'s summoned creatures which were keeping them busy till this point.

With the male dire tiger lying defeated on the forest floor, Eren turned his attention to the remaining adversary—the female dire tiger. The scent of blood hung heavy in the air as they locked eyes, each recognizing the determination and savagery in the other.

The Rank-2 female dire tiger prowled forward, muscles rippling beneath its sleek coat. Eren knew that this opponent would be just as formidable as the one he had just vanquished, if not more so. But he was undeterred, ready to face the challenge head-on.

Drawing upon the wellspring of his fire element spells, Eren began to channel the incendiary power within him. Flames danced along his fingertips as he summoned the Alfem, fire-element birds with wings ablaze in hues of orange and red. They circled above him, ready to carry out his commands.

Focusing his gaze on the female dire tiger, Eren unleashed his first fire-element spell. Igni Wave. With a swift swing of his Tachi sword and a deft rotation of his Behemoth axe, fiery weapon slashes shot through the air. Each strike carried the searing heat of the flames, aimed at engulfing the dire tiger in a conflagration of pain.

The female dire tiger, quick on her feet, dodged the initial onslaught, her lithe form evading the fiery assault. But Eren was relentless, his movements fluid and precise. Igni Chains, his next spell, came into play. He conjured fire-element chains, attaching them to his dual axes, effectively extending their range. With increased reach, Eren lashed out once more, the fiery chains whirling through the air with deadly accuracy.

The female dire tiger, momentarily ensnared by the chains, roared in defiance. She clawed at the fiery restraints, attempting to free herself from Eren\'s grasp. But he was not finished. Igni Shards, another fire-element spell, erupted from his hands, transforming into sharp shards of flames hurtling towards his adversary. The shards struck with precision, searing into the dire tiger\'s fur and flesh, leaving scorch marks in their wake.

As the battle raged on, Eren recognized the need for a more concentrated attack. He stepped back, creating distance between himself and the female dire tiger, and drew upon the power of Igni Breath. Inhaling deeply, he summoned the compressed fire element within him, the air around him shimmering with intense heat. Then, with a forceful exhale, a torrent of flames surged forth from his lips, engulfing the female dire tiger in an inferno.

The dire tiger, now trapped within the blazing conflagration, unleashed a series of desperate attacks. Claws slashed through the flames, but Eren\'s control over the fire element was unmatched. He weaved through the onslaught, his movements a dance of agility and precision.

The intense heat began to take its toll on the female dire tiger. Fur scorched and smoke billowed from her singed form, yet still she fought on. The fire element had ignited a primal rage within her, lending her strength and resilience.
