Lake Hunter Panther - Chapter 16 -

Fire Mountain students were walking through the woods in a group of four in the early hours of the morning. They didn't know the exact name of the creature they were looking for, but according to the information they were given, it was a creature with metal armor.

All kinds of creatures had names and characteristics. If this creature was a shapeshifter, it would be more dangerous. Because the transformation of a human being was not the same as that of the creature itself,

Humans could be strong against other creatures because they were transforming them and using them powerfully. There were shapeshifters of different races besides humans, but the entity into which all of this would be transformed was always clear.

As they progressed, Malm, who was the leader of the group, noticed something was wrong. He raised his hand slightly and spoke quietly after stopping everyone.

"We're being watched."

With Malm's words, everyone started to look around carefully. Each of them had W1-level creatures. So they were called W1-Shapeshifters, and they didn't have much power because they were at the starting point for shapeshifters.

There were also only two warrior creatures in the group. Elisa and Celes had support-class creatures. No one knew the cause of this, but the creature that a person acquired during childbirth generally resembled the characteristics he had.

Naturally, this did not apply to Martin. As long as he had enough points, he could replace the creature he owned or use his points to strengthen the creature he owned.

A few minutes later, Malm realized his suspicions were not empty. The sun was about to come up, and they saw the prey they were looking for.

,

Meanwhile, Martin was watching the group and the creature in front of them from a distant tree. Martin's creature, the Claw Demon Minion, was already a sneaky creature in general, and the secrecy he had because of the experience from Martin's old world was not easy to understand for new, inexperienced shapeshifters.

Martin looked at the creature the group had encountered.

AGT = 0.2

Endurance = 0.5

INT = 0.0-

Martin smiled slightly, approached a little bit, and began to watch the youngsters. It was not the right time to attack.

After Malm and Marc saw the creature, they frowned and had a serious expression on their faces. Meanwhile, Malm spoke lightly and told the others his commands.

"Everyone, come back now!"

Along with Malm's words, Marc turned into his creature. The creature Marc became was human-shaped, and it had a strange appearance. In general, it had a cylinder body made of wood, and where both hands were supposed to be, hard stones were rolling. He was 2 meters tall, his eyes were white, and he didn't have any organs like a mouth or ears.

His legs were covered in vines.

"Monk Tree Fighter"

"W1-Nature"

"STR = 0.4"

"Agility = 0.7"

"Endurance = 0.5"

"INT = 0.0"

Right after Marc transformed, he began fighting the Metal Warrior because the latter attacked them. The Metal Warrior was a non-human, magically moving creature dressed in classic knight's armor. He was much stronger than a general knight and had a better defense. But it wasn't very fast.

Still, it wasn't the kind of creature that an inexperienced man like Marc could fight alone. Especially since the Metal Warrior used a sharp sword as a weapon, it left Marc in a very difficult position. Malm was transforming at the time.

Malm's body changed directly and became a four-legged shape. With four legs, this creature resembled a lion, but it didn't have any manes. The blue creature, a mixture of lion and panther, had its advanced muscles all over its body and generally appeared much stronger than Marc's transforming creature, Monk Tree Fighter.

Martin wasted no time studying this creature.

"Lake Hunter Panther"

"W1-Water"

"STR = 0.8"

"Agility = 0.7"

"Endurance" = 0.2

"INT" = 0.4

If Martin had said he wasn't impressed this time, he'd have lied. It was clear that he would lose in a direct showdown with this transforming creature. In general, he had no weaknesses, and the only downside was that his defense was bad.

But Martin knew what to do without wasting time.
