William was super focused this time. The moment that flash of bright light intensified, William moved to the side, evading it.
"It's quite annoying just like the times I killed many of your kin in the outer world," William shook his head when he saw the bright ball of mixed purple and orange lights that raced like a rocket out of the opened jaw of this tiger.
It went like a shooting star, flashing fast, sweeping even a few of the silver grade tigers nearby without any mercy.
Then it started to arc in the air, taking a curved path, before heading back for William.
At the same time, the tiger didn't just depend on his tracking missile. It started to wave its claws, trying to rip William's head to shreds.
This was a very tough situation. William was less than three metres away from that alpha. And if he didn't do anything, his head would be gone in the next few seconds.
In the middle of all this, William just kept his cool. He ducked, jumped to the side, clashing against the claws with his sword from time to time to stop any dangerous hits.
He did everything to not leave the side of this monster.
*Fwoosh!* and just as he did that, the tiger's sent out fireball came. William simply lowered his head, letting this guided missile that was about to hit him in the back of his head pass over, and slam fiercely against the right side of that monster.
"Time to bring you some pain," William planned all this from the beginning. This tiger was different from normal gold grade monsters. It could form a layer of defensive power around its body, absorb any incoming attack and stop it.
To take it down, one either should be at gold grade at least, better to be at dark gold grade, or had a dark gold grade weapon. William was neither of these, so he had to use something else.
He used the monster's attack to harm itself! The monster thought it got William in its claws, but in reality, the total opposite was true.
William kept that monster busy, not giving him any room to better control its guided attack. And when the attack came, William made sure to be on the same line as this monster.
Of course, William couldn't perfectly control the trajectory of such an attack, or else he'd prefer for it to land over this tiger's head or something vital.
As the tiger got hit on its right side, William started to seriously act. He instantly switched from defence into all out offence.
He used his lightning technique for the first time against this alpha. His body started to move around the monster, hitting the wound that just appeared thanks to the fireball using his sword and knives.
He knew just by this wound, that was away from any vital point, he couldn't bring that monster down anytime soon. But he kept working over it, deepening that wound, and releasing more blood out from it.
*Roar!*
As it felt betrayed by getting hit by its attack, the tiger roared again, and then another ball of fire came. At the same time, that alpha tried its best to retreat, creating a space between it and William.
At the same time, its long tail came fast, aiming to surround William's body like a snake, and bind him as if it was some sort of a tightrope.
William knew if he got caught, then he couldn't evade the new fireball. When the monster retreated, William did the same, making it impossible for that tail to come at him.
He knew if he persisted on sticking around that alpha, then he'd either get hit by the fireball, or get entrapped by the tail and end up as a punching bag for this scary dude.
*Roar!* and as if William fell right into the trap of that monster by retreating as well, William saw a weird smirk over its face, as if it was happy about such a move.
"Stupid big cat, thinking itself a dragon! Do you think I fell for such an obvious trap?" William responded with a laugh, a series of dashes, evading the incoming fireball from the side while the one up front got released at this moment.
The alpha tiger didn't just want to hit William using a single fireball. It wanted William to retreat, so he'd be in the path of the first fireball he released before.
Like this, William was going to get attacked from two directions. If he tried to run forward, the monster's tail and deadly claws were waiting for him.
The monster thought it could get William in the middle of the latter's movement. But just when it imagined William getting hit by all this, the latter showed the fierce side of his technique.
William used his technique one time after another, without a single moment of pause. He knew it was quite risky, but he kept jumping to evade the incoming fireballs.
Even when the alpha tried to adjust the two fireballs trajectory, William responded at the right moment and changed his path, forcing to use a new lightning technique just in the middle of the already going one.
As he finally evaded the two attacks without getting a single hair of his harmed, he didn't show this arrogant and idiotic tiger any mercy.
William knew the more time he'd give this big cat, the harder it'd be for him. So, the moment the two fireballs passed past him, William jumped straight forward, hitting it where it truly hurt, at the right-side wound.
*Roar!*
This time the monster got truly enraged, even stomping with its four legs, as if it wanted to squash William under its claws.
But William kept jumping around, using the time the two fire balls were getting away with their insane speed to further weaken and enrage this big cat.
*Fwoosh!*
The alpha tiger tried to jump over William, crushing this little human with its big body. However, William read through its intentions, jumped to the side moments before this tiger jumped, evading even the troublesome tail and the deadly claws.
*Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!*
And as if he was the only one left in the entire area, other tigers roared and started to aim their attacks over his direction.
"Damn! I'm not that tasty, you know that? I'm thin, wasted without a single layer of fat!" William raised an eyebrow when he saw more than forty fireballs coming in his way. And to add more to this, that damn alpha big cat sneaked the two fireballs in the middle of all of them.
