[116] Chapter - 68: The Beasts Attack 2 (Part 2/2) The golden streak surged upward from below and met the attack head-on. It was Eklavya. He thrust his spear forward, colliding directly with one of the tiger’s heads with full force. The impact detonated through the air, a violent clash of power that sent him hurtling backwards, his body driven away by the overwhelming force of the strike. Chandra, just behind him, reacted instantly and caught hold of Eklavya’s back, trying to steady him. But the force was overwhelming. Both of them were driven backwards together. “Are you alright?” Chandra asked, steadying himself as he kept a firm hold for a moment longer. Eklavya gave a brief nod, already stepping forward, his focus returning to the battle ahead. By then, Zeliang had closed the distance as well, coming to their side without a word. The three of them hovered in the air, aligned, their gazes fixed on the beast. For a fleeting second, silence passed between them—an unspoken understanding settling in. Then, in the very next instant, all three launched forward. Their bodies cut through the air as they surged toward the beast. Their movements were sharp and synchronised, each of them closing the distance with lethal intent. Their auras flared against the night sky. The beast responded with a deep, thunderous growl, its twin heads lowering as its wings beat once more, propelling it forward. One of its massive claws swept outward in a wide, devastating arc. As it moved, dense ki condensed along its path, forming three crescent-shaped blades of violet energy. The arc tore free from its claw and shot toward them. They were slicing through the air with terrifying speed. Each arc carried immense force, pushing the air outward in violent waves as they closed in, threatening to carve through anything in their path. Yet none of the three slowed. Zeliang met the first arc head-on, his sword flashing as he parried it with precision. The impact rang sharply, sending a burst of energy rippling outward. At the same time, Chandra intercepted another, his blade snapping into motion as his reflexes returned, though not fully steady. The clashes were clean, but the force behind them was overwhelming. Both Zeliang and Chandra were driven back, their bodies skidding through the air as the residual energy pushed against them, forcing them to yield ground despite their defense. The third arc surged toward Eklavya, its speed overwhelming, leaving him barely a moment to react. Before he could channel more power into his body, the blazing violet energy was already upon him. Instinct took over. At the very last possible instant, he brought his spear up to intercept. The impact was brutal. The force tore through his guard, sending him hurtling backwards through the air. His body crashed into the trees beyond the clearing, splintering branches as he was driven deep into the forest. Above, the beast surged toward Zeliang, its wings cutting through the air as it closed in without hesitation. Zeliang steadied himself mid-air, regaining control in a single breath before summoning a second sword into his other hand. Without pause, he thrust forward, spinning into motion as both blades carved arcs of light around him, aiming to overwhelm the beast with relentless strikes. The beast responded instantly. Both of its front claws rose and met his attack, stopping the spinning assault head-on. Sparks and bursts of ki flared as metal met claw. The clash locked them in place for a moment. At the same time, Chandra surged in from the side, his blade cutting a precise arc through the air, aimed straight for one of the tiger’s heads. The timing was flawless. His strike was meant to land in the exact moment the beast was occupied with Zeliang. But just as the edge of his sword neared the beast’s neck. The tiger moved. One of its heads snapped sideways with terrifying speed. Its jaws closed around the blade. The impact rang out sharply as steel met fangs. Chandra’s eyes widen
