Chapter 175: Power of Formation (c)

Under the dim sunlight, the rustling sound made by a black shadow rushing at Whittaker with an extremely impressive speed resounded. However, the figure of the black shadow was apparent in his black eyes.

"Mana Wall Formation Activate!" Right when he saw the Three-Clawed cursive Phantom entering the range of the formation, Whittaker activated the formation he had set up with a single thought. He was spiritually connected with the six formation disks and could command them by using thoughts. However, such a method costed a small portion of one soul force unit and could only be utilized by soul masters that were very rare in the awakened continent.

The mana wall designs inscribed on the six formation disks burrowed underground shone in a mesmerizing blue light, and at the same time, the panther pounced at him with all its strength. Its jaw wide opened in hopes of ripping apart his neck in a single snap.

"Teng!" However, before it could reach the young boy, a low ringing sound echoed and the Mana Wall Confinement Formation was activated. Mysteriously, bluish walls appeared all around it, confining the beast in a small area of some meters squares.

Immediately, the beast realized that It had fallen into a trap when it saw the walls confining it. Although it had fallen into the trap, the beast couldn't change its direction in time and crashed headfirst on the mana wall that suddenly materialized in front of it.

"Keh!" With a shrill shriek, the panther crashed into the walls of the formation and slid down, seemingly wounded by the heavy headfirst clash. The surprise self-harm first attack really did a ton of damage to it. It was bleeding from its face as if a horde of buffaloes has slammed their hoves on its face. Furthermore, its prideful sharp teeth have shattered because of the impact. Moreover, some pieces have jabbed into its mouth!

"Pufahahahaha!" Whittaker cracked when he saw that. He still hasn't even activated the Flame Wave formation yet the beast was already wounded badly. "What a dumbass. Aren't you a boss known for its speed? Let's see where you can escape to now!" He taunted while laughing and glancing down at the beast that slid down the wall of the formation, gleefully.

Unable to bear the taunt, the beast stood up in an instant and glared at him with murderous intent. 

In reply, Whittaker taunted with a smile, "Look, it's all your fault. Didn't you want to jab your canines in my flesh but now they have broken in an instant!"

"Roar!"

Seeing the taunting smile of the young boy, the three-clawed cursive panther roared furiously. Seemingly completely enraged by his actions, he charged straight toward the wall to crush it. Its claw shone in a black aura as it activated its cursive claws and clawed at the bluish walls with all its might.

Weng! Weng! Weng! Its sharp metallic claw threatening to tear apart everything crashed on the mana wall.

Kuah!

Under the might of its claws, the mana wall furiously shook but the formation item which had been hidden under the ground remained unmoving.

"It won't be easy to break free!" Upon seeing the three-clawed cursive Panther struggle in a berserk manner to break free from the formation, Whittaker said in a calm manner.

He was certain that it won't be able to break free from the formation and his gaze said it all. He was staring at the beast as if it was already dead and that just made it angrier and its struggle for survival grew more berserk.

The cursive Panther was ready to expand all its mana and battle energy to break free. With a furious roar, it charged frenziedly at the formation. It used its steel-like fur, strong bones, and claws as weapons to destroy the mana wall but Whittaker seemed unworried.

There was no reason to panic, after all. The 3-star Mana-Wall formation he activated was a Confinement Formation that can absorb mana from the environment, himself or both to activate. Furthermore, its defense could be augmented and reinforced by the use of mana from his mana pool, the surrounding or even mana stone or crystals.

The only other way to break free was to destroy the formation item or make them unstable enough to disturb the Sync line; However, the durability of the six formation disk was still 100/100. Unless the durabiliy drops to 50, there was no chance for the sync line to be dsiturbed.

It seems like there's no chance for the Panther to break out even if it exhausts itself to death.

Along with the barrage of attacks, the ground quaked and the formation items shook but Whittaker smiled confidently as currently there was no chance for it to break free from the formation that remained as strong as ever.

However, under the continlus attack of the beast, a lot of mana was being absorbed from the surroundings and his mana pool to reinforce the mana walls. It there's no mana left then the beast will break out of the formation. 

'I have to end it right now! Activate Flame Wave Kill Formation!' Whittaker thought and activated the second magical rune designs that he had inscribed on the six formation disks.

Mana waves from the surrounding rushed into the formation items. As he felt that the mana in the surrounding has thinned considerable, Whittaker used mana from his mana pool to activate it.

The Flame Wave rune design inscribed on the formation items shone in a Scarlet glow, and at the same time, a red cloud with two streaks of light formed in the middle of the formation which confined the Panther.

"Grrr!" It was threatening by the cloud but before it could do anything, one streak of light dissipated from the cloud, and right after a sea of flame rushed out of the cloud and clashed atop its body.

BOOM! The sound of a disastrous blast. The land shook from the impact as fire burned inside the mana walls. Only the painful howls of the beast and the sea of flame could be heard and seen respectively. It howled in pain, for its steel-like fur were set ablaze and it felt as if it was being flayed alive.

As it was an intermediate grade kill formation, it could be activated twice. Whittaker decided to end the misery of the beast early and he activated it for the second time.

[Flame Wave formation!]

The second scarlet streak in the cloud vanished and a wave of flame crashed on top of the beast that was struggling to remain alive.

BOOM! In a single moment, its body burst apart under the sudden impact of compacted flame. The flame wave scorched and melted its body parts.
