The Golden Lion Beast with how it had been in the midst of giving birth for the last few days if not weeks at this point. Wasn't going to abruptly give birth to that cub and then healed after a short nap.
So, dealing with the Golden Lion Beast wasn't what I was too bothered with at the moment. Really, right now killing that Tiger that did have several wounds on it's leg's and hind quarters was my best bet.
That Golden Lion Beast was literally larger than an elephant, and at worst, I could swallow what remained of my pride and carve her open from the inside after she gave birth... Really, I am just turning into a Greek god at this point with all this unbirthing and vore.
But Han Sen was able to just wait for her to give birth and she died with the strain. So I didn't 'Need' to kill her to get access to the Geno core that would give me the Super geno points. I just woudn't get her Super tier Beast Soul.
The tiger on the other hand... It was stupidly fast, and getting it now when it was wounded was my best option.
So while the giant exhausted lion slunk off I followed the blood trail of the tiger slightly off to it's side as I kept myself downwind of it so it couldn't catch my scent.
All the while I wrapped my boots in some scrap cloth as to muffle my footsteps, and I followed the tiger just around the bends of the craggy mountains.
The tiger didn't go far, it was clearly in a rush to literally lick it's wounds as I found the tiger lying across a large flat rock on the edge of a river where, between eating a fat flizard of some sort that it had clearly just caught. It was gingerly licking the large puncture wounds on its right hind leg.
Taking in my surroundings, I smiled slowly as I silently approached, as the sadistic tiger had pinned the partly eaten still alive lizard to the rock with a large claw. And the lizard was making a good racket as it hissed furiously and slapped the rock it was on.
Clearly trying to escape its dire fate. Though I idly noted that the lizard did have an interesting level of regeneration of some kind, as its wounds had already sealed up around the tiger's claws and weren't leaking blood.
I was much stronger then a baseline human at this point. I could deadlight more than five times my own body weight without any issue, so as I got a large tree whose branches hung above the river and the tiger itself, which was resting in it's shade.
I climbed up the tree with just my bare hands, taking me up the tree silently as I grabbed the trunk itself with my much stronger hands.
And after climbing up a bit... I followed the branchs that hung over the tiger lying down below me.
And as the tiger smelled for things downwind, as it scoped around idly for prey it could torture for its own entertainment. As a feline that was at the top of the food chain.
With my two Sacred Blood-tier daggers in hand, I silently fell off the tree branch with the only sound being the shifting of leaves that the tiger obviously thought was the wind.
Two very heavily coated in neurotoxin dagger's slammed home into its back with all my weight falling down on it.
A loud howl came from the tiger which shot up even as I mentally cursed. As I thought, that I managed to shatter or at least sever part of its spine with this attack.
I was thrown a half dozen meters through the air before I hit the ground and instantly rolled to my feet, already as the tiger who rushed at me.
But... It was much slower than it was when it was fighting that lion!
I braced myself and with a roar, my fist, sparking with blackened haki, slammed into a swipe of it's claws it batted at me with.
My fist hit the center of it's paws. A loud thud rang out even as the thick, rough pads on the oversized tiger's claw's absorbed alot of the force of the punch.
And the tiger just pushed forward. Going for the take down to use its far larger form to just snap my neck and skull with it's powerful bite force.
I just rolled underneath the tiger with it screaming as I stabbed another dagger into its softer stomach.
The tiger's stomach opened up from my dagger as it didn't expect me to go under it. And even then, it leapt up slightly and my vision became a blur, and my shoulder screamed in agony as in mid-air, it swatted at me.
Hitting me like a fucking flying bus, which sent me flying across the ground, and I hit the water with such force that I skipped across it twice before I sank into the water.
I was awoken back from the heavy hit as the water flooded my nose and hit my lungs which made me snarl and my haki explode off my frame as I kicked the soft soil below me to get back towards the shore.
The tiger meanwhile, was howling as part of it's intestines had fallen out of it's chest cavity. And in the struggles of our clash, the naturally poisoned dagger's I added a whole layer more of nasty shit to had gotten into it's nervous system.
As while those daggers didn't shatter it's spine... Putting a bunch of neurotoxins just next to the spine also seemed to work!
It's back hind leg's were utterly limp behind it and it's front limb's were weak as well as it forced itself upwards with the hate of a predator who refused to go down in it's eyes.
I forced myself out of the water with heavy steps. My left arm hanged limply at my side, as the tiger DID break my left shoulder with that slap of it's paws.
But I wasn't going to break down to mere throbbing pain... I was in a battle to the death and pain didn't decide when man and beast could lay down and just die.
The tiger's intelligent eye's were filled with the current reality. It knew that it had lost the moment I had slammed those dagger's into it's back. Me, just opening up and spilling all it's gut's onto the dirt only made its growing sense of weakness come faster.
It just refused to die like prey.
I respected that look of hatred in it's eyes even as I coughed... And I idly realized that getting slapped a good three dozen meters with the force to make an armored three-hundred-pound man skip across a river definitely fucked up my ribs as well.
"You fucked me up good... I actually hope you form a Mount/Pet Beast Soul. You are fuckin strong." I said as I spat out a wad of blood and phlegm to my side.
But my only response was snarl as the tiger's neck gave up holding it's head up, and the tiger's head hit the dirt with the only signs of it's life being its labored breath.
That and the steady spread of crimson ichor from its opened stomach filling the grass-covered ground of the grove we were in.
I summoned my main weapon, the Sacred Blood tier Scorpion Spear and with careful aim. I ended the tiger's life with a haki-infused thrust that went through it's stomach wound and through it's heart.
'Not putting my spear through your head... I am keeping your skin as a pelt.' I thought even as the Sanctuary finally dinged in my mind with my heart filling with joy at getting the Super tier beast soul.
[Super Beast, Sonic Tiger killed! Consume Geno Core to receive 1-10 Super geno points. Super tier Beast Soul, Sonic Tiger Saber gained!]
A saber wasn't exactly the beast soul that I was most comfortable with. But I couldn't turn my nose up to a super-tier beast soul in general. I was just going to need to get used to it.
