At this moment they had no idea the creature in front of them didn't need its eyesight to locate them, the smell of Anna's blood that could be detected in the air and around her body were already more than enough.
From where it stood it began to sniff the air slowly, to locate exactly where Anna was but that only took a moment for it to locate where Anna position because in the next moment they could feel something was glaring at them intently, Anna who had been thinking of using this opportunity to escape suddenly felt a cold shiver ran down her spine, the sounds of the floor vibrating could be heard as the steps of the creature resounded in the area with each step it took, as they looked ahead they could now see the creature clearly it wasn't exactly as they had thought.
It had black fur all over its body, its body was currently hunched and its face had cat whiskers it looked as if it was both a cat and a human at the same at least a part of the face had changed to that of a cat while the other part which resemble a human looked much more like a human corpse, not only that its body was uneven with an arm longer than the other with uneven bones that could be seen protruding outward from underneath its skin, its claws were ten feet long while it legs looked like that of a demon beast, with a tail behind its back.
As the demon beast sniffed the air it then looked at Anna with its eyes closed, suddenly something began to happen that couldn't be seen, shell-like tattoos began to appear all over its skin, hardening both its furs at the same time.
However, that wasn't all as the next moment smoke began to appear all over the creature making them wonder what was happening, while they were wondering what was happening they began to have a bad premonition of what the creature was doing, and in the next moment they could see the claws of the creature had been caught on fire it suddenly let out a screeching sound and began to run towards.
What the zombie cat halfling didn't know was at this moment it had activated both turtle hardening and fire monkey bloodlines, although it had no idea what was happening it simply didn't care as much as it could make it stronger, and at the same time capture its meal in front of it, that was all that matters to it.
When Anna saw this for some reason she kept feeling as if their lives were now in even more danger than before, making her lift a metal chair from the ground and threw it at the demon beast although she knew this wouldn't do anything she wasn't aiming to harm it with that rather test if the feeling was out of fear or not, however, as the demon beast held the first metal chair that was thrown forward.
It couldn't help but look at the chair the moment it did something that they never thought could happen, occur at that very moment, the chair was immediately caught on fire when the creature saw this it proceeded to hurl it towards the two of them with all its strength. Anna's heart tightened when she saw this, luckily her strings were still able to work on it so even though it was caught on fire she had still managed to use her strings to swing it to the side, when Sophia saw this she couldn't help but wonder if it was the abilities he had gotten as an abomination.
However, she didn't have time to worry about it because even more chair and other things that had been set ablaze were now being thrown at them, the two of them kept being pushed backward yet the creature had not approached them they couldn't imagine what would happen if it was to take this opportunity to sneak attack them from behind.
While Anna kept swinging them away with her strong strings and Sophia slashing at them, the creature gradually began to advance forward. At this moment as if the demon beast had seen an opening, it then decided to rush forward towards them since it wasn't using its eyesight to see its nose had become the only thing that could make its locate where its meal was.
What's more due to how its senses had been heightened to a very high degree it literally took no effort to locate them so as it suddenly rushed forward it continued to chuck the things around it towards them at an incredible speed, what's worse the fact that the things its was throwing were caught of fire made things difficult for them to be able to see the creature perfectly. Thankfully, Anna was now a rank 6 couple with the demon beast power in her, she could still try to sense its location if it was coming at them.
As the zombie halfling cat was moving it began to attack them wildly, although it couldn't see it couldn't care less where it was throwing the items to, however, because of the traces of blood that could be detected in the air and thumping of their hearts beats it could hear, it was able to use its instincts to follow where they were coming from and try it best to throw the items towards them.
However, because both Anna and Sophia had no idea of what was happening they thought it was still able to see them clearly, and had already gotten used to the lights at this moment it had turned into a game of throwing things at each other, although Anna was strong and even going all out, Sophia wasn't because she had something else in mind, eventually due to this she had become the weakest person in this fight when the creature noticed this, both Anna and Sophia felt their hearts tightened for completely different reasons.
"Fuck! how the heck does it even know where we are? I thought it was sensitive to light or had it already adapted to it?"Anna, who had long realized what wasn't happening, couldn't help but shout, and just as she was talking she suddenly noticed the demon beast had changed its target.
When she saw this Anna couldn't help but gulp down the saliva in her mouth before she turned to look at Sophia with a look of panic on her expression before she turned and shouted, "Sophia run, get out of here. The demon beast is now after you, I will try to attract it towards myself but just run as far away as possible."
With Anna's words Sophia turn to look at Bernard, she had no clue what suddenly attracted it attention to her but she was sure it wasn't anything good, the looks in its eyes didn't show any warmth or friendliness, nevertheless, she didn't think too much about it and decided to back away just to observe what was happening, since Anna had already been possessed by the demon beast there was nothing she could do to help, not like she planned to.
Anna was also the only person that could go toe to toe with Bernard at this point not that she couldn't, but if she was going to fight, it was to free him and make him return to normal, however, first of all, she would break away and then observe why it was fighting was it just based on instincts or did it simply want something from them? With this she eventually moved back and stopped helping Anna, the moment she did it once again turned its attention towards Anna and completely ignored Sophia and just kept on attacking Anna.
Although Anna was relief about Sophia's life no longer being in danger her situation had also become more dire because she could feel the demon beast had put all its attention on and was quickly advancing forward, she couldn't help but grit her teeth with the way the demon beast was quickly advancing forward she might have to fight the demon beast head on very soon, at this point there were different thoughts in her head with multiple voices ringing out continuously.
'Anna you have no choice, you don't stand a chance against the demon beast without me.'
'Never, I would never give you control over my body.'
'Little girl don't play smart, while I could lose a bit of my power you could die. You had your chance before, don't come running to me when things eventually turn bad, when it does you will pay in a hundredfold.'Since Anna refused to give the demon beast control over her body, it was needless to say she continued to lose her advantage in the battle, what's more, she also noticed her power had taken a hit and had fallen slightly, unfortunately, there was nothing she could against it, of course, she knew it was the demon beast handy work.
However, there was nothing that could be done, except she wanted to risk the demon beast taking complete control of her body. At the same time, although the demon beast didn't say that there was no guarantee it could also actually defeat the demon beast, it was likely they would even try to strike a deal in order to get rid of her.
