"Hm?" Mag heard the tiger's roar and looked in the direction of the sound. He raised the assault rifle in his hands and quickly found his target through the night vision magnifier.
The Golden-Eyed White Tiger was large and its color was very striking in the dark. On top of that, its eyes were as bright as street lamps.
Of course, this was also because the magnifier and sight were of very good quality.
After locking in its target at 15 kilometers away, the magnifier auto-focused to make the image very clear.
After that, Mag saw a very wild woman that was like a sexy cheetah. She was dressed in a red and black leather tube top. She had a pair of lean and long legs and a familiar boomerang.
"Isn't that Sivir? What are they doing here?" Mag was rather surprised.
***
The giant tiger pounced out and its horrifying aura suppressed the Rose Mercenary Squad, making them unable to even move a single step.
On top of that, Dennis' shout just now made everyone's hearts sink.
The 7th-tier magic beast, the Golden-Eyed White Tiger, was one of the most ferocious magic beasts on the magic beast mountain range. It was extremely territorial and was also very aggressive towards mercenaries.
The mercenaries who went up the mountains would usually not end up very well when they ran into a Golden-Eyed White Tiger.
On top of that, this magic beast is an extremely good fighter. Even 7th-tier powerhouses would find it a headache, much less this small group of mercenaries who were all injured.
No one could save them in this mountain range.
"Bring Monkey and Sam into the cave. I'll stop it!" Sivir clenched her teeth together and twisted open a medicinal vial filled with red liquid. Immediately, her body glowed red and her dwindling aura suddenly shot up. She let out a low shout, grabbed onto the boomerang at her waist, and swung it towards the Golden-Eyed White Tiger.
The boomerang drew a red arch in the sky, flying towards the tiger's eye. It was so fast it was just a shadow. In the meantime, Sivir stepped to the side and pulled out a repeater crossbow, aiming it at the tiger.
This was the strongest blow Sivir could currently deal. She was able to temporarily recover her strength with the help of the medicine and she had to buy some time for the team.
Sivir pulled the trigger decisively, causing the desolate Rose Mercenary Squad to feel a sense of hope.
"Let's go!"
Dennis put Sam on his shoulders and started running towards the cliff in the distance.
Skol picked Monkey up and also turned to run towards the cliff.
"Go ahead, I'll stay here with Captain." Scott held his sword in both hands without taking a step back as he rushed towards the Golden-Eyed White Tiger.
When the Golden-Eyed White Tiger saw the boomerang, its golden eyes lit up.
The boomerang barely scraped past the tiger's eyes and was reduced to nothing after a ray of golden light shone on it, as though it had not existed.
Meanwhile, the arrow Sivir shot out landed on the tiger but it did not even pierce through its fur. It did not even leave a mark on its body.
Sivir saw the boomerang disappear instantly and felt her heart ache. However, there was more fear that gripped her.
The effects of the Madness Potion could only last for three minutes. However, even if Sivir regained the peak of her 4th-tier, she was still incomparable to the 7th-tier magic beasts, which made her feel suffocated.
However, she had no choice. She turned back to look at her members who were running for dear life. She swung out her backup boomerang and went straight towards the dense vegetation beside her.
She had to lure this magic beast away to buy even more time for her members.
This was the only thing she could do now.
However, just as she moved, the Golden-Eyed White Tiger waved its paw and broke a tree that was one meter thick and the thick tree flew towards Sivir like an arrow.
Sivir froze and her eyes widened as the tree enlarged in her vision.
She did not try to dodge or resist because it was pointless.
She did not feel much fear in the face of death. She just felt sorry for letting her members down and guilty for not being able to bring them back safely.
"Captain!"
Dennis and the others paused in their tracks as they watched the giant tree fly towards Sivir. They all shouted in desperation.
The end of Scott's longsword was glowing red as he tried to chop the tree. However, the Golden-Eyed White Tiger easily broke the longsword into tiny pieces.
The Golden-Eyed White Tiger looked at them in mockery as though it was looking down on a colony of ants it was teasing.
How dare this group of pathetic fools intrude into its territory.
At that moment, the sky was lit up by a shimmer of light. In an instant, it pierced through the tree that was right in front of Sivir.
The thick trunk shattered into pieces immediately.
The Golden-Eyed White Tiger suddenly let out a terrified howl as it waved its huge and sharp claws in front of it, while at the same time attempting to run away.
However, the light was too fast and it smashed its stone-hard paws into bits and pieces, before striking right through its head.
The power of the force sent the Golden-Eyed White Tiger flying backwards before it crashed to the ground.
It twitched a little before laying completely still.
Just then, a thunderous explosion came from afar. (Sound travels slower than light.)
The Rose Mercenary Squad watched, dumbfounded.
Such a powerful 7th-tier magic beast, the Golden-Eyed White Tiger that was feared by mercenaries, was… dead just like that?
Sivir's mouth hung wide open. She breathed heavily as she watched the motionless tiger, her forehead and back were drenched in cold sweat.
The effects of the Madness Potion were over. The intense pain from her broken rib made her furrow her eyebrows.
It was the first time she felt so close to death. When she came to her senses, she was weak all over, as though her energy was completely sucked dry. She fell, sitting on the ground, limply.
"Thank… Thank you for saving us!" Sivir thanked the mystery person loudly.
It must be someone powerful for that Golden-Eyed White Tiger to be killed in a single shot.
The others from the Rose Mercenary Squad all came back to their senses as well. They were glad to have brushed past death and quickly kneeled to the ground as they thanked whomever it was gratefully. "Thank you for saving us!"
Silence…
After a very long time, it was still silent in the dense forest.
Sivir and the others exchanged glances and helped each other up.
That person who killed the Golden-Eyed White Tiger did not appear, as though he was never there. If it was not for the carcass of the Golden-Eyed White Tiger laying on the ground, they would have thought it was all a hallucination.
"Cap… Captain, why didn't that person appear?" Dennis asked with a quiver in his voice.
Sivir did not understand as well. She leaned against a tree weakly, as her injuries were rather severe. The medicine they had with them was all used up and she did not know if she could pull through the night.
Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, a large pair of wings covered the sky above them. A low voice came from above, saying, "What are you doing here with your mere abilities? Aren't you afraid to lose your lives?"
