This was the first time that he had received a mission of this sort from the system, and he was eager for it. The tiger looked at Silva, saw the confidence and resolution in his eyes, and knew that Silva was not playing around. "Since you seem so confident, I'll honor your wish and have the bet with you. But remember, your loss means your death," the tiger said. "I completely understand. I don't plan to trick you," Silva replied. For this fight, he would have to pull all the stops, magic and skills. Even that would not be enough to win, but he needed to use them as a grand distraction that would all help set the stage for using Minotaur's Rage. He took out his sword in his right hand and transformed his left hand. He activated Dragon Eyes and Flash Step. He got into his stance, his eyes glued on the tiger to watch its energy readings and know what it would do next. Roxy moved out of the way, giving them enough space to fight. The tiger saw that Silva was not moving, and that meant Silva wanted him to make the first move, so he did. The fur of the tiger crackled with lightning, and then all the lightning channeled to the front of his mouth, and it fired a massive bolt of lightning at Silva. But immediately as the lightning was leaving the mouth, Silva had already moved out of the way. He used Flash Step to be fast enough, and he had already read the attack before it happened. Now that he had dodged that, he had an opening before the tiger would finish shooting out the lightning, so he took it and charged at the tiger. The tiger saw what Silva was doing, his eyes followed Silva, and then he lifted his paw and slammed it into the ground, causing the ground to explode from the impact. Silva appeared behind him, holding the Minotaur's Rage, his stats well over one thousand, and using Flash Step at the same time. What had happened was actually very simple. Silva was a dragon and one with a very powerful constitution. Regeneration was child's play for the power of his legacy. As soon as he was hit by that paw, his body had already started healing up. But Silva was a darkness mage, and darkness was used for illusions as well. Using his illusion spell, he made it seem that he took the attack and was totally brutalized. He used this to bait the tiger, and when the tiger was close to landing the finishing hit, he activated the special ability of the axe. With a massive increase in his stats, and with Flash Step, he was able to move faster than the tiger could notice, and that allowed him to get behind the tiger. ___ ___ The tiger felt dread as he saw that axe head for his head. He knew that even if he took this hit and survived, the damage would be beyond his imagination. "I yield," the tiger said quickly. Silva stopped his attack and landed on the ground. "I never thought that I would meet a human your age capable of this feat. I am utterly defeated," the tiger said. "You could have put up a greater fight, but you underestimated me during the fight. You didn't think I was capable of such tricks," Silva said. "No, I believe that even if I took you seriously all through, I have this feeling that I would still have lost to you," the tiger said. He stepped forward and bowed his head to Silva. "You have won our bet. I'll be your summon and live for you," the tiger said. Silva nodded and activated the summoning ritual to make his first real summon. A magical circle lit up under Silva and the tiger. After a while, the light died and the ritual was done. The mark appeared on the forehead of the tiger and then disappeared. [Mission complete]
