The next several minutes went by in a blur as Damon feasted on one panther after another. After the first leap of panthers, there was yet another group, and surprisingly, he picked up a new skill from this leap of panthers.

It looked like the bloodline of a single beast could contain more than one skill. Perhaps this was because the shadow panthers were tier 1 beasts with the ability to use mana more efficiently, possessing their innate magic skills and, more importantly, mana cores.
Damon didn't forget to dig out mana cores from the beast corpses as he left a trail of mangled bodies in his wake. After the tenth panther, his bloodlust was finally sated. Not that he complained when he drank the blood from an eleventh one.
