'Damn.' Marcus's heart sank the moment he shouted, "Heavenly Thunder Leopard!"
There was no mistaking it. The creature covered in crackling blue lightning, with horns rising from its head and the sleek, predatory body of a black panther, matched the description in the Silas's map notes exactly. This was their target, the elusive Mythic Beast that prowled Ten-Thunder Mountain and specialized in hunting its prey through ambushes.
According to Silas's notes, the Heavenly Thunder Leopard rarely confronted its enemies head-on. It preferred to roam the mountain in silence, using its exceptional stealth to conceal itself and wait patiently until its prey lowered its guard. Then, at the perfect moment, it would strike. And that was exactly what it had done.
