First Battle!

Bane waved dismissively at Ezra's threat. "Druno, bring the sheep over!" he said, his voice calm as he turned around to leave with James in tow . "Let's leave. We've wasted enough time with this brat already."

James turned back at Ezra with a devilish grin in acceptance.

"If he dared resist, break his legs and that of his Symbiote." James said coldly, his eyes flashing maliciously as he left with Bane.

But just as they covered a short distance, an ear-splitting explosion echoed through the area, followed by a powerful shockwave that shook the ground beneath them.

"BANG!"

The force sent a massive object hurtling through the air like a missile toward the two of them.

As though they had eyes behind them, James and Bane massive body flashed sideways with incredible speed.

They watched as the Lynx Symbiote flew in front of them. Dust and debris swirled around as the figure crashed before them, creating a trail of uprooted ground as it skidded like a skipping stone across the floor, finally coming to a stop several meters away.

Both James and Bane's faces suddenly twisted with shock as they realized the figure lying crumpled in front of them was Druno, not Ezra! As they hadn't thought!"

Their heads whipped backward, in disbelief which deepened as they saw what was standing behind them. A towering, dark bull-human hybrid kind of symbiote stood at a full two meters, releasing jets of hot air streams that radiating power and muscular confidence!!!

"Y-You… you've been hiding all this time?" James stammered, his voice filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe Ezra actually owned a true Symbiote all this while!

His ordinary sheep turned out to be a formidable Symbiote and was literally a wolf in sheep's clothing! Just how had Ezra managed to hide it from them?

Just as James was thinking of this, Bane's eyes flashed coldly. He didn't expect Ezra to be hiding his cards but he didn't truly care. In the face of true power, all tricks are rendered useless.

With his level 4 strength and silver grade beast, barely anyone at the same realm was the same match for him. Therefore, killing Ezra's to him was as difficult as killing a chicken!

"James, deal with him quickly. We don't have much time left for plays." Banes inhaled and growled from his fanged lips.

"No need to say anymore."

"ROAR!!!"

He exhaled and the Twin-tailed Panther let out a fierce roar, its two tails whipping furiously through the air as it roared to the skies.

"Shadow Dash!"

In an instant, the panther's sleek body blurred, moving toward Ezra at blinding speed. Just as it neared him, its figure suddenly flickered and vanished, melting into thin air as if it had never existed at all.

Ezra, crimson pupils constricted as the saw Bane vanished broad day light like a puff of smoke.

Before he could react, a massive shadow materialized right behind Ezra like an apparition.

"Twin-tailed Slash!"

James twin tails hardened and thickened to almost twice their previous size as their tips sharpened, transforming into shape sword like objects.

The air screeched with a loud swish as the two blade tails slashed violently at Ezra's defendless back like a butcher opening up its prey.

Ezra's nostril released massive amount of steam as his eyes opened wide.

In the blink of an eye, he twisted his waist as he turned and entire 360 degrees with an impeccable speed.

"Mountain Slash!"

Ezra's muscles trembled violently as an incredible strength overwhelmed him. His arms felt as heavy as a mountain as he slashed his claws at the incoming Twin-tailed attack.

"Shiiiiiiiiing!"

The shrill screech of metal filled the air as Ezra's claws clashed against the hardened, sharpened tails of the Twin-tailed Panther.

Sparks exploded from the impact like fire works, illuminating the scene with bursts of fiery light,

"BANG!!!"

A massive shockwave blasted in a circular manner, lighting up and sparks flinted off in all directions as the two tails and the Wrathram's claws clashed against each other like two heavy heavy blades colliding against each other with a massive force.

Ezra's body trembled,his feet digging to the ground, muscles straining as he took three steps backwards due to the resultant force.

James' eyes widened in shock as he stumbled seven paces back, barely managing to hold his ground against the force of Ezra's blow. The ground beneath his feet shattered to pieces as he struggled.

But before he could regain his balance or even think of his next move, Ezra suddenly dropped on all fours, his stance low and feral, then in the blink of an eye, he lunged forward at an incredible speed, transforming into a fast moving blur.

"Damed sheep!"

James roared, his voice thunderous and angry. The energy within him surged like a raging storm, causing his muscles to bulge and his fur to stand in and!

Every inch of his body swelling with raw power as his twin tails shot forward like speeding arrows!

That wasn't all, James, reared his head back and his waist tensed up as he released a devastating strike with his claws.

The wind screeched and the void seem to open as his claws and sharp tails pierced heavily at where Ezra was supposed to be.

Seeing this, Ezra smirked coldly

"Bloody rush!"

His figure suddenly turned into a streak of dark line as he arced behind James.

"Mountain Slash!"

"BOOM!!!"

Shockwaves blasted all around as the strike slammed against James back. James body broke through sound barrier as he was sent flying like a kite with broken wings. It was unknown whether he was still alive or barely living.

Ezra retracted his claws as he growled, staring coldly at Bane.

His face indifferent as he spoke. " Are you going to do your own dirty work now, Bane?"

Bane's bear-like face changed slightly. His expression frosty as he glanced at his unconscious lackeys. Ezra didn't hold back in the least and had dealt with them ruthlessly. There was no way they could attend the competition in the state they were in right now.
