Colonial Suit

#97 - Nether Leopard

"Monster?" Blood Eye and the others were stunned. Then they saw that the square in front of them was in chaos, with people panicking everywhere. Almost all the vendors had abandoned their stalls, rushing towards them as if fleeing for their lives. Faintly... a ghost-like black shadow flickered behind the crowd, raising large patches of blood with each appearance.

"Run! The monster is out! If you don't run, you'll be killed!!"

"Waaah, I don't want to die. Someone, save me..."

"Get out of the way!! Don't block grandpa's path! Grandpa wants to get away from that monster!"

For a time, the scene was extremely chaotic. The crowd surged like a tide, directly resulting in a vortex-like force that made people involuntarily pushed along. If it were ordinary people, they would easily be trampled underfoot, causing a stampede.

Fortunately, none of those present were ordinary people. Blood Eye took only one step forward, like a wall blocking everyone. No matter how dense the crowd, it couldn't shake him even half a step. On the contrary, he had the leisure to carefully observe the flickering black shadow.

It was a small black shadow. Because it was too fast, Blood Eye couldn't clearly capture its image. He only felt that its shape was similar to a beast. Moreover... it was a beast he was very familiar with...

What exactly is it?

Blood Eye frowned and observed carefully for a while, a gleam suddenly flashing in his eyes.

He knew what it was...

It was a leopard!!

A cheetah hunting at high speed!!

Only this kind of creature could give him a strange sense of familiarity, just like the countless times he had been on Planet X35. It should be known that Blood Eye's combat skills were mastered in battles with mutated beasts, and the leopard gave him the greatest help...

But how could a leopard have such terrifying speed? It was so fast that even his eyes couldn't keep up with its movements?

Blood Eye was puzzled. Just as he was about to take a closer look, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the sky. A speeder suddenly flew over the crowd from above.

"The guards are here!!"

"Great, we're saved!"

Cheers immediately rang out from the crowd. Both vendors and tourists stopped running and looked up at the speeder. The speeder plunged directly towards the direction where the black shadow had appeared, and began to disintegrate in mid-air. Immediately afterward, a silver figure burst out from it...

"Sir Calrendo! It's Sir Calrendo!!"

"Go, Sir Calrendo! Kill that monster!!"

Blood Eye could see clearly that the silver figure was a humanoid wearing armor. A dazzling contrail sprayed out from the back of his armor, pushing him to the top of the black shadow in an instant. Immediately afterward, a silver firearm unfolded from the armor's shoulder...

"That's an ion pulse rifle! Calrendo's signature weapon," Posy said.

"You know him?" Blood Eye asked without turning his head.

"I know... Calrendo is the garrison mercenary here, with a rank of Trainee," Posy replied quickly, obviously knowing a lot about this guy. But considering that they used to be Trainee mercenaries as well, Blood Eye wasn't surprised.

While they were talking, Calrendo had already launched an attack on the black leopard. Relying on his armor, he moved at high speed in the air, while splashing out rows of bright bullet trails. In an instant, he sealed off all the black shadow's pouncing routes. Calrendo's attack speed was extremely fast. He appeared in one place, and then flashed to another place. The intermediate process had no signs or acceleration, completely violating the laws of physics.

But Blood Eye knew that was the unique effect of space armor. All-round ultra-high mobility.

Moreover, Calrendo's attack power surprised Blood Eye a little. The ion pulse rifle connected to the armor was completely different from the energy firearms he had seen on Planet X35. Not only was its rate of fire extremely fast, but its attack power was also terrifying. Almost every time Calrendo moved, he would leave a row of neat bullet holes on the hard alloy ground.

Under his attack, the black leopard was greatly suppressed and could no longer hunt the crowd. But it was still fierce.

Amidst the rows of flashing bullet trails, the black leopard leaped at high speed, dodging Calrendo's attacks each time. That kind of reaction and prediction of attacks seemed to be instinctive. No matter how Calrendo increased his attack speed, he couldn't completely restrain its actions. Not only that, the black leopard repeatedly tried to get close to Calrendo, while making threatening roars.

Its roars had a strong deterrent effect, as if they could directly enter the soul, causing the surrounding crowd to feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. Unconsciously, they cleared an open space with a diameter of several hundred meters.

But Blood Eye wasn't paying attention to these things. It was the black leopard's actions. For some reason, from the moment the black leopard appeared, he felt that all his attention was attracted to it, as if there was something on the black leopard that attracted him. As this feeling deepened, Blood Eye's expression became more and more serious.

He saw it... his own shadow...

A shadow that was brewing to erupt...

The black leopard's dodging movements and prediction of danger were extremely similar to his own in battle. Especially the baleful aura revealed in an instant was actually seven or eight parts similar to his. And what made Blood Eye feel most familiar was that he found the same thing in himself and the black leopard.

Beastly instinct!!

"Calrendo is in danger..." Suddenly, Blood Eye said this.

"What?" Jack asked in surprise. In his opinion, Calrendo was currently gaining the upper hand, almost completely suppressing the black leopard's actions. The black leopard's moving circle was shrinking at a visible rate. Jack found it hard to imagine what danger Calrendo could be in at this time. What's more, he was flying in the high altitude at the moment, and no matter how powerful the black leopard was, it couldn't possibly attack him.

But before his voice fell, an anomaly suddenly occurred.

The black leopard, which had been compressed to the limit, suddenly let out an angry roar and jumped up fiercely. This jump was actually more than ten meters high, completely beyond common sense. Moreover, the speed was as fast as lightning, and in an instant, it approached Calrendo to a distance of less than ten meters.

At this time, Calrendo happened to be making a dive, coincidentally sending himself to the front of the black leopard. The degree of tacit understanding was as if he was cooperating with the black leopard.

Beastly instinct's prey prediction!

"Not good!!" A cry of surprise suddenly rang out from the crowd. Everyone's expression changed.

But it was too late, because at this moment, the black leopard's front paws had already landed on Calrendo's armor, and the sharp claws immediately splashed layers of sparks, leaving a clear scratch on the armor. Taking advantage of this force, the black leopard curled up and stretched out again, leaping up like a spring, and actually soared to the top of Calrendo's head, silently pouncing towards Calrendo.

At such a close distance, Calrendo could even feel the bloody smell in the black leopard's mouth. He had no doubt that this black leopard could tear his throat apart in the next moment. But he was also a Trainee mercenary after all, with extremely rich combat experience. In the blink of an eye, he activated the armor's emergency avoidance device without even thinking.

A dazzling contrail suddenly sprayed out from the back of the armor, pushing Calrendo more than ten meters away in an instant, not only avoiding the black leopard's pounce, but also sending himself to the most suitable attack position.

The black leopard fell down involuntarily because of the exhaustion of this attack...

"What a pity..." Calrendo's Adam's apple bobbed a few times, he said to himself, and then pulled the pulse rifle's scope to his eyes. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that this terrible black leopard couldn't dodge to kill it.

Although the value of this Nether Leopard might be worth more than all his wealth...

Nether Leopards are a specialty of the Chaotic Starfield, only appearing on planets with the harshest environments. These creatures have a strong sense of attack from birth. They are strong in attack and have high intelligence. Adult Nether Leopards can easily tear apart creatures five times their size. They are the kings of the food chain. Not only that, Nether Leopards are also typical cold-blooded creatures. They have a special mark of adulthood, which is to kill their father in a head-on duel. Because only in this way can it prove that it is stronger than its father.

Calrendo didn't know who brought this Nether Leopard here, but he obviously made a big mistake. How can a king beast like the Nether Leopard be restrained by ordinary means? Once it breaks free, this Nether Leopard is enough to kill everyone in the entire node!

Therefore, he must kill this Nether Leopard... before it causes a disaster...

In the scope, the Nether Leopard's falling posture was clearly visible. Calrendo sighed with regret and was about to pull the trigger.

But at this moment, a blue light suddenly flashed on the Nether Leopard's body, and then Calrendo felt a blur in front of his eyes, and the Nether Leopard actually disappeared from his scope...

"This is..." Calrendo was horrified and cried out.

"Ability Blink!!"

In the exclamation, the black leopard appeared behind Calrendo like a ghost, and scratched his back with one claw. Only a harsh metallic sound was heard, and the armor's ejection device immediately fell apart and exploded into a dazzling fireball.

Without the ejection device, Calrendo could no longer fly, and he instantly changed from a hunter to a prey.

His body fell like a rock, and Calrendo closed his eyes in despair. At such a close distance, and having lost the ability to fly, he was simply no match for the Nether Leopard. Especially a Nether Leopard that had awakened its ability was definitely the king of Nether Leopards. Calrendo could almost imagine it pouncing on him at this moment, biting at his throat.

But at this moment, Calrendo suddenly heard a strange whizzing sound...

That was the sound that could only be made by tearing the air at ultra-high speed...

With a muffled thud, Calrendo only felt as if he had been swung horizontally by a heavy hammer, and he was immediately knocked sideways.

In the process of flying sideways, he tried his best to take a look. He saw that in the position where he was originally, a lithe figure was crossing horizontally, entangled with the Nether Leopard...
