"Huff!"

The battle between Asura and the bear began almost immediately after the two made eye contact.

Fwish! Fwish!

Every strike of the bear with it's claws created a sharp gale of wind that went our way. Despite it's large stature, it's unexpectedly faster than we thought.

For now, Asura started the battle by evading the beast's attacks to test it's battle prowess.

The conclusion?

It's primary attacks started off with it's claws but as soon as it realized the claws alone wouldn't work, it began trying to bite off Asura's neck whenever a chance arises.

It's movements are quick and it's gradually adapting to our evasion patterns which is as simple as darting from side to side. There were even times we almost hit the bucket.

"I'll start attacking now!"

Asura announced in her head. As soon as I recognized her intentions, at my thoughts, a pair of silvery crescent blades formed from her wrists, they resembled sickles used for harvesting wheat.

「Aim for the legs! The best way to deal with big monsters is eliminating their means of escape!」

"As you command!"

Asura infused power into her arms and zapped past the Calamity Bear within a second. This monster is fast, but not as fast as Asura who's slowly surpassing the norm.

Blood bursted out from the legs of the Calamity Bear. At that short amount of time, Asura used the twin sickles on her arms to sever the enemy's calves.

"Groaaaarrr!!"

The bear let out a terrifying cry that sent shivers down my spine.

Asura was concerned about something else.

"My lord... It didn't call for help, did it?"

「I have no idea. Whether it did or did not, we'll still kill this beast one way or another.」

"Yes... Ah-"

Asura was slightly dumbstruck when I remodelled her body without her permission, but she recovered from that rather quickly.

"It's happening again..."

Her arms became strangely pale and her bones bursted out, painfully ripping her arm's skin and flesh apart like paper.

The bones that resurged from her flesh looked more like worms with an iron constitution. But the most disturbing part is that it had mouths at the end.

Just like that, I took control of Asura's hand and stretched it out towards the bear who couldn't move.

"Guruuu..."

It glared at us with fierce eyes as if it would bite our head off once we got closer. So there's no other way but to kill it from a distance like this using such a vile method.

The remodified piranha tentacles made from my host's bones and flesh coiled around the Calamity Bear like a group of snakes, immobilizing it. There was no hope for this monster left and I'm the right judge.

I feel pity for it since it's going to die to become Asura's sustenance but that's how things should proceed, so I can't do anything about it.

In large numbers, atleast thirty piranha tentacles buried themselves deep into the bear's flesh and instantly crippled it's nerves that connects it's brain to the rest of it's body. I wouldn't want my prey retaliating and ripping Asura's organs into pieces when it becomes enraged.
