Cougar grinned, showing his fangs, and then fought back against Luvanka.

'Hmph! Punch Shower!!'

Luvanka used his 6 arms to punch Cougar countless times, but Cougar used his palm to block.

'That's a pretty strong attack, but something so simple won't work on me.'

Cougar's stats seemed to be even higher than Luvanka's. After blocking all the attacks, Cougar pulled Luvanka closer to kick his chest.

"..."

But then Shea's fist came to attack Cougar from behind.

'Oh, so the escapee has returned.'

Since she had gotten too close, Cougar had to jump back to dodge Shea's fist.

'You didn't need to come back…'

Luvanka spoke to Shea, though his eyes were still focused on Cougar.

"Hmph, I didn't come back out of generosity. I don't know how many challenges there are, so I can't let you die just yet."

Shea just wanted Luvanka to accompany her all the way to the last challenge.

'Shea, I like that you're straightforward.'

Luvanka smiled in a way he never did around Allen. He seemed to like Shea's honesty. Garm had said that there were challenges awaiting them on each floor. If Luvanka fell in the first one, Shea would have to do everything else on her own. Essentially she would be giving away her biggest advantage.

"If think that then fight with all you got. I'll change my equipment, so cover me. This is a fast enemy, so I'll have to try to match it like with the Beast God."

Shea let out a sigh and then changed her equipment to what she used against the Beast God Giran. That way she gained more than 100000 Agility without needing to activate Full Beast Mode.

Then she used 2 of the 100 Golden Eggs Allen had given her to increase her and Luvanka's stats by 3000.

'Full Beast Mode, graaahhhhhh!!'

Full Beast Mode also increased her stats.

'Ohh, that's a lot of power. You're nearing the realm of Demigods. Hm?'

Cougar grinned seeing Shea's power, but she was not the only one getting stronger.

'Mythical Beast Mode! Urhaaaaaaaaahhh!!'

Luvanka roared loudly while using the Awakened Skill he used against Magra. His muscles began to bulge and his stats went over 30000, and his body was enveloped in a haze that increased his dodge chance. His Strength also regenerated much faster with that Awakened Skill.

Cougar just grinned as he watched them apply all of their buffs. It was almost like he wanted to test his own strength. That attitude also made it clear that he was trying to complete a challenge of his own.

'Let's go!'

'Yeah!!'

Luvanka followed Shea's lead and the two moved to attack Cougar.

'Come! I'll test how strong you've really become!!'

Cougar shouted, and the fight resumed. Shea ran on all fours towards him.

'True Clobber!'

She kicked off the ground with her hind legs and used her arms to attack from behind Cougar.

'Asura Charge!!'

At the same time, Luvanka went from the front.

'Your tactics are still as simple as before. Hmph!!'

Cougar twisted his body to swing at Luvanka, and then turned around to block Shea's attack.

'Mghuh?!'

'Ghah!'

The gap in Agility was not as big as before, but they were still lacking power. Cougar was not holding back like Giran, and was fighting back. Shea could dodge better with more Agility, but her Strength was still going down.

'...I see, so simple tactics won't be enough.'

Shea started thinking about how to win this fight.

'Yeah, feel free to plan as much as you want. But it's about time I go all out too.'

'What? All out?'

'Grawrrr!! Let's do this!!'

Cougar had been walking on two feet, so he was in Beast Mode. But now he activated Full Beast Mode.

ZOOOM!

'Mghuh!!'

After transforming, Cougar seemed to suddenly appear in front of Shea, kicking her and sending her flying back where she bounced a few times before stopping.

'Are you okay?!'

'I'm fine. I can handle that.'

Shea's body quickly regenerated with Full Beast Mode, which would heal her in a few seconds even if she broke bones or lost limbs.

'Luvanka, can you use Complete Defense? I don't think this will be as easy as I hoped.'

'Hm? …Alright.'

There was no sense in using a defensive tactic here, but Luvanka had an idea of what Shea was trying to do.

'Let's go!!'

'Yeah! Complete Defense!!'

'How many times are you going to try the same… What?!'

Luvanka rushed at Cougar with his 6 arms spread open, and then caught his body in them.

'You might be faster than me, but you won't be able to dodge like this! Divine Wind Consecutive Hits!!'

'Mghuh! Is…is this Lord Giran's power?!!'

Shea aimed at the gaps between Luvanka's arms, her claws skillfully tearing through Cougar.

'Good, keep him like that! True Demolishing Punch!!'

Shea focused Mana in her right arm and lunged forward again.

'I already told you! Those simple tactics won't work, graaawrrrr!!'

Even though Cougar was only a third the size of Luvanka, his Attack was higher. He started wriggling around Luvanka's arms, eventually making enough space to kick.

'Ghah?!'

Luvanka was sent flying back, and then dodged Shea's [True Demolishing Punch] Skill. Turning around, Cougar used his long tail to whip Shea and sent her flying back again.

'Shea, are you okay?'

"Of…of course!"

While Cougar's attacks were powerful, they were not lethal. The Divine Artifact [Divine Shoes] allowed Shea to avoid instant death. Luvanka's Awakened Skill [Mythical Beast Mode] also gave him resistance to critical attacks, and his Strength regeneration meant his broken bones and torn flesh would heal rapidly.

'Let's try this again. Our opponent is faster than us.'

'And his Strength regenerates just like ours…'

While Shea and Luvanka talked, something like steam came out of Cougar's body and the cuts left by Shea's Divine Technique [Divine Wind Consecutive Hits] closed up.

'So we need to restrain him and defeat him in the shortest time possible. We have only 1 option.'

'Oh? I see, a combination.'

Thanks to Luvanka turning into a summon, he gained a lot of Allen's knowledge and experience. To restrain their opponent, they would need to attack him continuously. While the opponent was taking those hits, he would not be able to activate anything. But since he also healed rapidly, they needed to deal enough damage to overcome that healing.

'That settles it then. Inexhaustible Beast King!'

Shea activated her Skill that allowed her to extend her combos and speed.

'So you have a new strategy?'

'Yes.'

'We'll get up those stairs.'

'Then prove you're strong enough! You'll need to overcome this challenge first!!'

Shea and Luvanka rushed at Cougar again.
