You had to hand it to this bear—its defense was ridiculously high. Four Shred attacks, each powered up to the max, and not a single one broke ten thousand damage. The weakest barely scratched three thousand.
At last, the bear's eyes adjusted. It stopped flailing and locked eyes with Ethan.
Ethan's panther form straightened.
A moment later—Rend, five stars. Dead center. Target: the crotch.
This was one of Panther Form's finishers.

[Rend]
Finishing move. Inflicts continuous bleeding damage. The more energy spent, the longer and more brutal the effect.
1 energy point: 200% attack over 8 seconds
Each extra point adds 4 seconds and 100% more damage
Skill Completion boosts total output
Five-star Rend: 24 seconds. 600% damage.

"Aooo…"
Ethan couldn't tell if the bear howled from the pain of getting nailed in the nuts—or from something else entirely. Either way, it let out a pathetic, bone-deep yelp.
