Chapter 276 Eren vs Dire Tigers P1

In the City of Ironhaven, Eren and Sofiya had embarked on a path of mercenary work.

Their two-personnel team, though unnamed for now, had garnered attention within Sakaya\'s Palace, the esteemed merchant guild of the city. Together, they had taken on missions that would pose challenges to even full-fledged mercenary groups. And now, on the 16th day since their registration, they found themselves venturing into the heart of the Ironhaven Forest.

Eren and Sofiya had risen early. Their destination lay a mere two hours away, a specific region within the vast expanse of the forest. The task at hand was to rid the area of dire tigers, fearsome beasts whose talons and skins were in high demand for weapon and armor creation. It was a lucrative opportunity to bolster their finances and establish their reputation.

The hunt for Rank-2 dire tigers was a perilous task, often entrusted to a well-equipped mercenary team of eight to ten members. The very idea of a duo venturing into the treacherous wilderness was unheard of in Ironhaven\'s recent history. Eren and Sofiya were about to defy all expectations.

With determination in their eyes, Eren and Sofiya arrived at their designated location around 10 AM. The forest greeted them with an air of mystery, its ancient trees casting long shadows that danced upon the forest floor. They knew the importance of time, aiming to complete their mission by 4 PM to maximize their profits.

Unspoken between them was the understanding to split up, each taking on the dire tigers individually. It was a risky decision, considering the ferocity of the beasts they were about to face, but Eren and Sofiya possessed the skills and resilience to tackle the challenge head-on.

Ironhaven Forest.

The Last Spider gazed upon the foreboding entrance of the Ironhaven Forest, his piercing blue eyes filled with determination.

Surrounded by towering trees, their branches interwoven to create a canopy that blocked out most of the sunlight, the forest exuded an aura of mystery and danger. The air was thick with humidity, and the faint scent of moss and earth mingled with Eren\'s every breath.

As Eren delved deeper into the depths of the forest, an undercurrent of worry tugged at his heart, concern for his companion, Sofiya. The mission they had undertaken was no ordinary feat, and the looming presence of the formidable dire tigers only amplified the risks they faced. Yet, Eren found solace in knowing that Sofiya was far from an ordinary Ranker. Her indomitable spirit and resourcefulness made her a force to be reckoned with.

Sofiya, battlemage with an unwavering determination, possessed a repertoire of spells that could adapt to any dire circumstance. Her proficiency in summoning spirit beasts granted her a versatile arsenal to confront the most formidable adversaries. Their combined strength and the harmony between their abilities were the bedrock of their success as a team.

While the dire tigers posed a significant threat, Eren took comfort in Sofiya\'s ability to navigate treacherous situations with finesse. Her agility and instinct for self-preservation were unparalleled, ensuring she could evade danger should the odds become overwhelmingly stacked against her.

Clad in a full-sleeved light blue tunic that contrasted against his pale skin, Eren stood out amidst the earthy surroundings. His white hair, cascading his face, seemed to blend with the rays of sunlight that managed to pierce through the forest canopy. Over his tunic, he wore a lightweight black leather sleeveless armor, providing him with mobility and protection.

His dark brown pants and light brown leather shoes allowed for swift movement through the undergrowth. Metal arm bracers adorned his forearms, offering both defensive capabilities and a touch of intimidation. Matching leg bracers completed his ensemble, ensuring that he was prepared for any physical encounters that lay in his path.

At his waist, Eren carried a trusty Tachi sword, its polished blade gleaming with the promise of battle. Dual axes named Behemoth Set were strapped to his back, their imposing size and intricate engravings serving as a testament to the power they possessed. Eren\'s demeanor remained calm and cautious, his every step calculated as he traversed the forest\'s winding trails.

Suddenly, a rustling in the nearby foliage caught Eren\'s attention. His senses heightened, he readied himself for whatever lay ahead. Four pairs of piercing eyes emerged from the shadows, fixated on Eren.

It was the dire tigers, a formidable predator that commanded respect even in the heart of the Ironhaven Forest.

The male and female dire tigers, with their sleek, muscular bodies covered in thick orange and black stripes, exuded a sense of primal authority. Their amber eyes shimmered with a mix of curiosity and aggression, locked onto Eren\'s figure. Accompanying them were their two almost fully adult cubs, their smaller frames and vibrant coats revealing their youthful exuberance.

Eren\'s heart quickened at the sight of the dire tigers, recognizing the danger they posed. However, he remained steadfast, his focus unyielding. The hunt had begun, and the Last Spider was ready to face the dire tigers head-on.

As the one Rank-1 and three Rank-2 dire tigers lunged forward, their powerful bodies propelled by primal instincts, Eren knew he had to act swiftly. With a surge of energy, he tapped into the depths of his magical abilities, summoning a legion of elemental creatures to aid him in the impending battle.

Three majestic Anemoi White Elephants materialized beside Eren, their massive forms towering over the forest floor. These giants possessed the power of wind and air, their ivory tusks gleaming in the dappled sunlight.

Accompanying them were six Taranbiests, nimble creatures of the lightning that looked like hellhounds. And above, a flock of Alfems, avian creatures with wings shimmering in shades of orange and red, ready to take to the skies.

While the three dire tigers found themselves momentarily preoccupied with Eren\'s summoned creatures, his unwavering gaze fixated on the formidable male tiger that stood as the pack\'s leader. Towering in size and emanating a palpable aura of ferocity, this beast had survived countless trials and honed its instincts through unforgiving battles in the untamed wild.

Locked in an intense stare, a silent exchange of defiance took place between Eren and the dominant predator.

Grrrr!

A primal roar reverberated through the dense foliage, signaling the commencement of an epic clash. In that pivotal moment, Eren\'s mettle would be tested as he squared off against one of the jungle\'s most fearsome apex predators.
