"Bang——!"
The deafening gunfire echoed through the forest, and Night Ten weighed the pros and cons before finally choosing to strike first.
The opponent seemed to have made the same choice.
At the exact moment the bullet was fired, a two-meter-tall shadow burst out of the forest.
It was a four-legged beast.
Its body was low, equipped with sharp front claws, strong hind legs, and dagger-like canines!
This creature didn't resemble a mammal; it had more in common with a reptile.
The beastly figure was reminiscent of a crouching wild wolf, yet its body was devoid of fur, replaced instead by glistening scales!
What startled Night Ten was the creature's uncanny ability to sense danger.
As if predicting his attack, it dodged his bullet path just a microsecond before he pulled the trigger.
It seemed like a coincidence.
But as a perception specialist, Night Ten understood exactly what it was!
"Watch out!"
