The sudden roar terrified everyone. Was there a turn for the worse?
Everyone in the arena held their breath in shock. Everyone was looking at the clearing dust cloud and then began to see Snow Lion’s huge figure. However, when the dust settled it was clear to everyone what had happened.
“Woah…” Everyone could not help but exclaim in horror.
King Hun was shocked and his expression betrayed his feelings when he also exclaimed, “Did he do this all by himself?” King Hun could not believe his eyes even when it happened right in front of him.
Cynthia who had given up hope was immensely relieved when she saw Snow Lion’s condition. Perhaps… this is over?
Snow Lion looked pathetic as he laid on the ground. Behind it was a greatly deformed cage that resulted from the fight. Furthermore, its right claw was clearly twisted and its leg bone was sticking out of its skin. Blood soaked its white fur and continued to bleed onto the ground.
It was obvious that Snow Lion was in pain and it continued to moan in agony. It was no longer majestic and was now pitiful and defeated. Only the moans of Snow Lion reverberated within the arena. Everyone broke out in cold sweat. It was clear now that the sudden loud crunch was the sound of its strong leg bone being broken by the collapsed man.
But… how could that man be so terrifyingly strong? Although everyone was shocked at Snow Lion’s injuries, they were even more terrified that it was done by Jack!
Snow lion was the King of Beasts!
When King Hun led thousands of men to capture Snow Lion but could not subdue and make it submit. But now, this man could subdue Snow Lion to this extent? With Sirius overwatching, had the God of Death descended upon them?
Then, just as everyone was numb with goosebumps, they heard a low growl.
Snow Lion who was bleeding on the ground growled and its eyes seemed to light up. Then, amid the gasps, Snow Lion began to shudder and struggled to its feet. It stood on three legs and then its eyes fixated on the unconscious Jack. Everyone’s expression changed drastically.
“Damn!” King Hun murmured in a low voice, “Snow Lion is the king of beasts and it took thousands of men just to capture him. It would not give up just with this injury and will fight to its death!” What King Hun said immediately caused Cynthia to worry again and instantly felt hopeless.
Cynthia bit her lower lips and then sobbed as she said, “Father, isn’t Greedy Wolf’s abilities enough for you to open your heart and give him a chance?” She wailed and begged pitifully. Now that Jack was unconscious, her only hope was to beg the King for help.
It was useless for her to beg if that man had fallen to the claws of Snow Lion but Jack struck back and shocked everyone with his prowess. Even Snow Lion was caught off guard by Jack’s fighting capabilities.
With such battle-fighting abilities, only he could take on Zenith. It was with this that Cynthia hoped could convince King Hun to spare Jack’s life. When a person’s value had risen significantly, then the initial obstacles impeding him would be overcome!
Cynthia knew this and more importantly, King Hun also knew this. Just as Cynthia was begging, King Hun’s expression also revealed his hesitation. However, Cynthia’s cries seemed to have attracted Snow Lion.
“Roar!” It was as if the roar was a threat. Then Snow Lion began to limp slowly towards the unconscious Jack. Its front right limp was twisted, broken, and bleeding. It left a trail of blood as it limped on.
When King Hun saw this, his expression darkened, and exclaimed, “It’s too late!”
