Don't raise a red flag damn it! He shouted inwardly. Although they are sprayed with the Eluding perfume, the wild animal behind them already smells their scent before they were able to spray the perfume.
Then just like in any other novels he read, a cliché like this is always bound to happen.
Gerard's hair stood up when he heard a low growl behind them.
For fuck sake… he hopelessly murmurs and turns around.
A White Fang Tiger!
Its appearance is the same as the tiger from the earth. But the stripes around its white coats are colored gold not dark. Its tail reaches five feet long and its shoulder height is probably around 250 centimeters to 270 centimeters.
The White Fang Tiger's bare teeth which were long as the saber tooth indicated it in an angry state.
"Mr. Payne!"
Lex shouted and immediately placed himself between Gerard and the White Fang Tiger.
Gerard commended Lex for being agile and collected. His job class precedes him!
Gerard activated the Supreme System and read the information about the White Fang Tiger's head.

His attention was caught when Lina told him to step aside for the time being.
"Mr. Payne, please get back for now. Let us handle this."
Aliyah intervene and drew her sword from its scabbard and the rest followed suit.
Sally backed off and readied her bows while Lina distance herself from the White Tiger Fang trying to get around the wild animal.
Lite followed Aliyah while Angel stand beside him and readied her staff and start casting supporting skills to Lex. Giving the latter increase in endurance and durability.
Sally as a proclaimed leader of their group starts to remind everyone how to defeat the enemy in front of them.
"Be careful everyone. White Fang Tiger is not a monster but a wild and ferocious animal. They are agile and can deal great damage in a single attack. Let's do the usual strategy in dealing with one enemy."
"Yes!"
"Lex, try to taunt him now!"
"Got it!"
Lex quickly uses [Skill: Taunt] to White Fang Tiger, gaining its aggro. The White Fang Tiger quickly pounces on him and tries to slash its heavy paws toward Lex but the latter was able to block it using its durable shield. Nonetheless, he still groaned and received damage. But thanks to Angel's support skill and his shield, the damage was lessened.

Although he received damage, Lex use his other skill [Skill: Earth Splitter].
After brandishing his Greatsword and plunging it to the ground, creating cracks that run toward the White Fang Tiger and inflicting damage upon contact, and giving the White Fang Tiger a mini stun for 0.5 seconds.
The White Fang Tiger HP threshold decreases due to -25 Damage from [Skill: Earth Splitter].
But the damage didn't stop there when Lina, Sally, Aliyah, and Lite simultaneously attack the White Fang Tiger.
Even before the [Skill: Earth Splitter] reaches the White Fang Tiger, four of them cast their skill so when the White Fang Tiger received the mini stun, their attack is already on the way to its target, dealing simultaneous damage that appears above the White Fang Tiger's head.
-79 Damage from [Skill: Sword Stab]
-80 Damage from [Skill: Sword Stab]
-68 Damage from [Skill: Force Shot]
-83 Damage from [Skill: Multi Dagger]
The total accumulated damage drastically decreases the White Fang Tiger's HP threshold.

Blood splattered everywhere upon contact which made the White Fang Tiger roar in agony.
But the misery of the White Fang Tiger is just the beginning as the players start to use their normal attack once again. Even Angel who is not adept in combat uses her normal attack damage. Lex also joins the free hit against the White Fang Tiger.

Now the remaining HP of White Fang Tiger is now down to 589.
After the duration of [Skill: Taunt], the tiger jumps backward and distances himself while baring its fang.
"Everyone, distance yourself and be ready. Angel, heal Lex quickly."
Angel quickly cast her skill towards Lex and the latter thanked her.
The White Fang Tiger seems to lose its coolness as Gerard saw its MP drastically decrease. Lina and the others also noticed it and she quickly shouted. In that instant, the White Fang Tiger vanished in the air.
"Lex! Protect Mr. Payne and Angel right now! All the DPS damage split around and practice awareness. The enemy used his skill!"
"Huh?! What skill?" Lex shouted as he dashed forward to protect Payne and Angel. The DPS damage dealer split around and heighten their senses, trying to figure out the location of the enemy.
"I don't know either! The system didn't display the skill!"
And then Lina use her other skill and vanished in the air as well but her silhouette can still be seen during daylight, fortunately, the sun is already set and the sky is growing darker as stars start to appear one after another.
Gerard was perplexed. What happened? Why did these players' systems didn't display the active skill of the White Fang Tiger?
Don't tell me?!
But before Gerard can finish his conclusion, the White Fang Tiger suddenly appears in front of him and slash its paw against Lex. Due to shock, Lex wasn't able to shift his shield to block the attack making him vulnerable on his end.
This time, the damage deal two times as the first one, making Lex shouted in pain.
-155 Damage
-157 Damage
Angel, quickly heal Lex but the healing is not enough for him to get his HP back to half.

Fortunately, Sally is quick enough to draw the White Fang Tiger's attention by using her [Skill: Slash] to deal damage to White Fang Tiger and quickly retreated back.
-58 Damage
The White Fang Tiger roared in anger and dash forward to pounce on Sally but the other DPS dealer followed suit and have their share to attack the White Fang Tiger.
-45 Damage
-43 Damage
-36 Damage
This time the White Fang Tiger was banished into the air once again.
"Everyone, stay together. Lex quickly drinks the potion and tries to up your shield in front of you."
Lex remembers the potion and quickly drinks it giving him an additional 150 HP plus 120 HP from Angel's healing skill.
"Okay, the HP of White Fang Tiger is now only down to 465. If Lex can taunt him again, we can finish him completely."
Everyone agreed and start to wait for the White Fang Tiger to show up. They don't have the skill or anything on them that can lure the White Fang Tiger from his skill so the only thing they can do is wait.
But waiting for means risk. They didn't know who will be attacked by the White Fang Tiger this time.
Gerard starts to ponder if he can lure out the White Fang Tiger by using his sword and produce wave after wave of attacks but it surely will startle all of them and he didn't want that to happen, besides it is early for him to show his ace attack.
He deduces if anyone was attacked beside him and Angel, the rest can withstand the attack and live to tell the tale and finish the White Fang Tiger completely. But it is a different matter if he or Angel was attacked.
He still didn't choose his main job class so he didn't know his Base Points and he didn't want to risk it by making himself bait. There is no way he would do that!
But suddenly the atmosphere turns worse when the White Fang Tiger appeared once more and its fur color changes from white to gold and its stripes coating his fur change from orange to dark.
It completely becomes the copycat of Earth's tiger!
"He is in his berserk state! His attack speed and agility obviously increase and so do his attacks! Be careful everyone! Lex, drink HP potions until your HP reaches 100%. We do not have time to save HP! I can just ask my subordinate in the rendezvous to get back to Oak City and buy more HP Potions for future use!"
"DPS dealer, drink Mana Potion so we can use all our skills simultaneously!"
Lex quickly heeded the order and start drinking HP Potions one after another until his HP reaches 100%.
He then goes in the front to protect everyone and waits for the White Fang Tiger to reach the cast range of his [Skill: Taunt] while Angel starts giving Lex a supporting buff making him more durable.
Everyone knows this is the climax of this battle. If Lex can successfully gain the aggro of White Fang Tiger, then they can finish it completely but they have to make it fast, or Lex will definitely die.
Although Lex can respawn, he will respawn on the stone table in the West Town and it will be waste of time for their group.
Just right in time when Lex reaches the front, the White Fang Tiger dashes forward and pounces on their group.
Lex quickly use his [Skill: Taunt] and successfully gained the White Fang Tiger's aggro and in turn, receives a simultaneous attack from the White Fang Tiger.
-180 Damage
-210 Damage
-175 Damage
Lex groaned in pain and try to block every attack with his shield.
"Everyone! Now!"
Lina shouted and everyone excluding Angel who are busy trying to heal Lex simultaneously attacked and use their strongest skill.
-69 Damage from [Skill: Sword Stab]
-70 Damage from [Skill: Sword Stab]
-58 Damage from [Skill: Force Shot]
-73 Damage from [Skill: Multi Dagger]
-40 Damage from [Skill: Slash]
-43 Damage from [Skill: Slash]
-48 Damage from [Skill: Arrow Shot]
-43 Damage from Lina's normal attack
The White Fang Tiger groaned in pain and frustration because he cannot retreat back because of the aggro.
Now the White Fang Tiger HP is down to 21 only! And the Aggro started to subside and diminished its effect.
The White Fang Tiger uses the opportunity to fall back.
"Shit! He is trying to retreat and run! Sally! Shot him and do not let him run."
Sally quickly heeded Lina's order and try to shit an arrow but the White Fang Tiger is still in its berserk state making him faster than his normal speed. As a result, multiple normal attacks from Sally were missed.
Everyone except Gerard makes a dissatisfied expression because they were about to lose an opportunity to gain experience and who knows, the item drop might be rare.
But before they can sigh in defeat, a pulse of powerful waves passed through on their side towards the running White Fang Tiger.
When the pulse of a powerful wave collided with the White Fang Tiger, the latter shrike and roared in defeat one last time. Its body dropped to the ground and slowly turn into particles of light.
Everyone was shocked and they simultaneously glance at the source of the pulse of a powerful wave.
All of them saw Payne Blanc standing on the sideline and sighing in relief after the White Fang Tiger died.
He's too powerful!
Gerard felt the intense gazes from the crowd making him nervous.
Oh, crap! I'm dead.
It come to my attention that the previous Chapter is not completed. But it is now updated and completed! Thank you!
