First Action

Beads of sweat were appearing on Lester's forehead, as he was trying to calm his heart at this very moment within his mind.

Who would've thought he would be chasing a monster so soon?

They stay quiet in the house contemplating their next move as the green binturong continues to sniff around, making slow movements as it carefully looked for something.

"We have to kill it!" Patrick said, almost looking excited about this battle.

Lester on the other hand was calculative, and said, "Fine, but we must have a proper plan."

Outside of their wooden house, the binturong continued pacing back and forth sniffing the ground like a vacuum.

"Hmph!" Lester steps out of the house, with his head high and a facade of confidence. In truth, he was trying his hardest in preventing his legs from shaking.

Lester's heart shook more as it finally saw the details of the binturong. The body of the beast seemed quite muscular as there was some sort of outline coming off of its dark green body. The eyes of the creature spooked him even more, as the crimson red pupil sent shivers down his spine.

"No! Focus...:" Lester thought to himself as he prepared by creating a defensive layer as well as utilizing his other manipulations.

The binturong stared at Lester as its mouth began to water sending sticky saliva all over the grass beneath its head, whilst, exposing its sharp yellow teeth, that could tear anything apart.

The Binturong bent its front paws slightly as it stared at Lester still, and Lester knew it was ready to pounce.

The muscular hind legs of the binturong bent slightly as well as it suddenly attempted to charge towards Lester, but Lester who was ahead of the binturong had prepare tentacles to attach to the hind legs of the binturong, therefore, as the beast attempted to pounce it stumbled instead. The tentacles were not strong enough to hold on for too long, however, just that slight pause was enough. As the Binturons was getting up once more to charge and go for the kill, Patrick had all the time needed to proceed with the plan.

"Take this bastard!" Patrick appears from the side of the house and punched it right on the side, breaking a few ribs in the process as it sent the binturong back a few steps.

The Binturong yelped in surprise and pain, as it was not expecting this second person to appear, however, Lester and Patrick gave it no time to process anything as just like whips, the tentacles bombarded the Binturong.

Unfortunately for Lester, the Binturong's skin was pretty strong and his tentacles simply not strong enough.

"Swoosh!" The binturong slashed forward towards the tentacles as it broke in an instance.

Lester frowned but there was nothing he could do, he understood he was simply just too weak.

Exactly after the swipe, Patrick was quick to move once more as he threw another punch towards the binturong, sending it back again, and possibly breaking a few more of the binturong's bones as the yelp of pain was much louder than before.

Suddenly the eyes of the binturong which happened to be a bland shade of crimson began to glow a red color.

Patrick was startled as he took a step back, but it was too late. With some newfound speed and power, the binturong did a quick turn as instead of facing Patrick it punched Lester, who was so shocked by the actions that he instinctively took a few steps back.

Patrick saw nothing but a blur, however, thanks to his senses, Lester was able to see through the attack and take a step back. Unfortunately, although his senses were quite good, his physical prowess couldn't compare to the binturong which was already in front of him.

Lester was in panic mode as he used all of his powers to not only enforce his layer but also create more tentacles to block the way.

"Bang!!: The swipe from the binturong broke the tentacles and the layer sending Lester flying back.

"Lester!" Said Patrick who darted towards the binturong. The eyes of the binturong had died down, as it no longer glowed bright red. The binturong must've used all of its last powers to kill Lester, and now with Patrick's punch, there is no way it could survive.

"Bang!" With all of his strength, Patrick struck the head of the Binturong, making its green body drop to the grown like a sack of potatoes.

Patrick couldn't care less for his kill though as he ran towards Lester.

"Are you ok dude!?" Patrick walked towards him as Lester was laying on the ground eyes still open and trails of a scratch mark on his chest. He was alive and had barely survived.

He was too weak. He had almost died from a creature that paled in comparison to some of the monsters that the top cultivators were caving, he needed strength and he needed it as soon as possible. The world was evolving, beasts were getting stronger, and if he couldn't keep up he would be left behind.
