Battle With The Swamp Creature
John quickly made an assessment of the creature, and realized why it had been such a problem. Its cultivation was at the half-step Qi Condensation Realm, and clearly it was able to see perfectly inside the fog. Half-Step cultivations meant that the person or creature was starting to advance into the next realm, but had not fully advanced yet. They were more powerful than late stage cultivators of the same rank.
'Clearly the creature was not going all out, and was trying to tire me out to find an easy opening. It must be quite wary, and tries to use the fog to its full advantage. But I've managed to eliminate that advantage, for now at least.'
John looked around at the parted fog and noticed it was moving in slowly.
'I probably have a minute or so before the fog goes back to normal. I need to end this quickly.'
