Chapter 218: Apex Jaguar

Chapter 218: Apex Jaguar

An apex jaguar sauntered out of the shadows, with its eyes showing clarity unlike that of the other mindless beasts. It scanned the humans, calculating its next victim carefully.

Panic and dread immediately set in the chamber. This new monster was probably at the peak of 6-star difficulty, just a half-step below the 7-star realm.

The four strongest adventurer groups were already preoccupied with their own undead Jaguars. 

Sir Jon was distracted for a second, allowing one of the Jaguars to cleave a large gash on his chest with its claws. But thanks to his armor, it was barely nothing more than a flesh wound.

It took the combined power and cooperation of the Knights to keep the Jaguar occupied. They didn't have the luxury to help anyone else but themselves.

Even Butch and his HammerStone group fighters felt the pressure increase in the chamber. Although they had superior numbers, they didn't have coordination like the Knights. He could feel some of his teammates losing focus and letting their fear take over their bodies.

The two other adventurer groups dealing with the Jaguar had no leeway for help either. This meant that the apex Jaguar was free to do as it pleased with no one to keep it in check.

Even though there were about a hundred other adventurers present in the room, their combined strength could not fight against a monster of this caliber. It would have been possible if they had practiced for this, but their lack of coordination would prevent them from defending just one lunge from the apex Jaguar. It would slowly whittle their numbers down, eventually killing them all.

Some of the adventurers already had their bodies half-turned towards the exit, with their minds just one push away from fleeing for their own safety. They would be safer with larger numbers, which was the cardinal rule as adventurers, but their fear of the Jaguar blinded them from recognizing this fact.

"Ooooh! Can I play with this cat?"
