This was Imperial Beast City, the territory of the beast race. It was bad enough that Jared, a human, was brought there, yet he even dared to sneak into the imperial library in the middle of the night!
“Don't misunderstand. I was just—”
When Jared saw Tigerus, he wanted to explain, but before he could finish his sentence, the latter swung his sword at him.
Jared had no choice but to throw the book at Tigerus and attempt to escape.
“Think you can run? If I let you go, then I, as the general of the royal guards, would be unworthy of my title!” Seeing Jared trying to flee, Tigerus roared angrily and charged at Jared with his sword again.
Tigerus harbored prejudice against Jared. He didn't like humans and thought they were too cunning.
Unfortunately, Ivasha had a soft spot for humans. She was always hoping she could marry one and have a human husband.
However, because the beast and human races couldn't intermarry, Ivasha had to restrain herself.
When Tigerus saw Ivasha walking side by side with Jared, laughing and chatting, he was beside himself with rage.
Therefore, upon discovering Jared had sneaked into the imperial library and browsed the books inside, he immediately found an excuse to teach Jared a lesson.
Tigerus was ruthless in his attacks, seemingly intent on killing Jared.
With his strength not fully recovered, Jared was no match for Tigerus. Seeing the latter's ferocious strikes and lethal moves, Jared could only rely on his agility to dodge constantly.
Whoosh!
Tigerus swung his sword toward Jared's face, the spine-chilling and razor-sharp blade rapidly approaching Jared.
Jared wanted to dodge, but Tigerus was too fast that time, rendering Jared unable to evade the attack.
At that point, Jared could only grit his teeth. His body shone with golden light as he activated Golem Body. Instantaneously, dazzling golden scales covered his entire figure.
Clang!
