Snarling, showing his sharp, pointed teeth, Zeus looked threateningly at Valter, waiting for a breach to attack.

'What the fuck is that dog?' Valter involuntarily took two steps back when he felt Zeus's aura. Perhaps it was the first time in his life that he has been so afraid of an animal.

Arlinda managed to react and ran towards her daughter and protected her, placing her behind her, while looking cautiously at Valter.

Paloma and Bruno also acted and stood in front of Cristina.

"You don't have to be so nervous." Cristina saw their agitation and fear, and said, "As long as Zeus is here, we need not fear. Trust Zeus!"

Zeus did not turn and continued to stare at Valter. But it was possible to notice the confidence he conveyed when he heard Cristina's speech. He snarled as if to say that Cristina was completely right: since he was there, they need not fear!

Of course, it was easier said than done. Even though the rest of them wanted to believe it, it was hard to avoid being afraid, especially when they felt Valter's horrifying aura. Although they were not as affected at that moment, since Zeus's aura suppressed Valter's aura a little, it was still recent and hard to forget.

*ZZZZzzzZZzz!*

A horrifying wheezing sound was produced in Valter's hands and feet, much like lightning but sparkled with purple.

*ROARR!*

Zeus was not intimidated, but he was on full alert. Unlike Valter, he was totally focused on physical strength, that is, although he had no special attributes when attacking, his senses were even greater than that of a wild animal. After all, Zeus' instincts were enhanced not only by being a leopard, but also by being in the Second Order. In addition, there was something that Luan had taught him.

"Mutt, die!" Valter screamed and attacked.

Strands of purple Qi went towards Zeus. It was like strands of spider web, only, it was somewhat neon, but unbelievably, it was in the form of a web, as if it wanted to capture Zeus. If capturing was Valter's real intention, it's hard to say.

"Zeus, get out of the way!" In Cristina's hands, a burning flame appeared; it was bigger than a basketball.

When Zeus got out of the way, Cristina tossed the two fireballs in sequence.

*Booom!* *Booom!*

Cristina's two attacks hit Valter's attack and nullified it, creating a strong shock wave, lifting the dust off the ground. Valter's eyes twitched. He did not expect this. It was very fast - the speed with which Cristina raised her Qi to an absurd level.

On Cristina's neck, the necklace made from the flames of the entire Zing Clan shone. Her power has soared thanks to this necklace that Luan had made for her.

"Zeus, attack; I'll cover!" Cristina screamed.

*ROARRR!*

Zeus roared in response. He kicked the ground so hard that a crater was formed and his speed was increased.

Cristina, despite having great power in hand, was herself not even in the Second Order. That was why she could at most support in this battle, since it would be almost impossible for her to be able to hit someone who is in the Second Order, taking into account the response time and speed.

'Is it because of that necklace? I need it!' Valter's eyes were full of greed, but he was not distracted. He dodged Zeus' paw that swung at him and launched a kick from the bottom up towards the center of Zeus's stomach.

Very fast and flexible, Zeus dodged, spinning in the air, and used his tail to attack.

*Bang!*

Despite not being so strong, the attack hit Valter's leg and left a trail as if he had been lashed with a steel cable.

"Urghhh!" Valter groaned in pain and swore: "Damn, I'm going to kill you!"

But he couldn't even chase Zeus, since two other fireballs were coming his way.

Valter continued to attack, and Zeus defended himself against minor attacks and dodged major attacks and left it to Cristina to defend against them.

"Damn it..."

Being in that situation, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted Cristina alive, he would have shot and killed her first. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't even make a weaker attack just to make her unconscious, since Zeus was always on the way and always defended himself with his own body against weaker attacks.

"Don't join in, you'll just get in the way!" Seeing Paloma and Bruno wanting to help, Cristina warned.

They were different from her, who had a necklace and other accessories that helped her.

"..."

Bruno and Paloma stopped in their tracks.

At that point, they noticed that they were still very weak, having to compare themselves to a 14-year-old girl. Before they had thought they were powerful, mainly because they had managed to kill monsters that came out of the 'mysterious crevices', but at this moment they noticed how weak they were...

'We need to train even more!'

Taking advantage of the fact that Valter's foot was numb, Zeus's eyes shone with intelligence when he saw that Valter surrounded his body with a kind of purple Qi, and approached the flower bed, where he was surrounded by large stones, and with his front paw, he used all his strength to 'kick' the stone in the direction of Valter.

Cristina collaborated with Zeus and threw four fireballs guessing where Valter would go if he were to dodge.

The more Cristina fought, the faster in supporting Zeus she became.

Valter, with a good kick, hit the ground hard, sinking into the ground. With brute force mixed with purple Qi, Valter made the floor open and kicked everything in the direction of the fireballs and once again, he deepened his foot in the ground, opening a crack in the ground, and crouched down, dodging the stone that came in his direction with great speed.

*Sigh...*

To his disbelief, he was already sweating, and a good deal of his Qi was used up. Not even in his wildest dreams did Valter imagine that a dog and a teenager would put him in such a situation.

"I have no choice..." Valter could feel Zeus' Qi next to Cristina again. He didn't want to, but he would have to run away and forget the plan he had initially.

'I need to find a moment when she is alone, and then...' He couldn't forget the necklace that Cristina was wearing. Valter's body was completely surrounded by purple Qi and he floated in the air at high speed and started to flee through the sky.

Seeing that the man that had attacked them was on the run, Cristina and the rest sighed gratefully.

"Cristina, you are fabulous!" Alice came over and held both of Cristina's hands while jumping with a smile. She was genuinely happy with Cristina's strength, and totally amazed as if she were looking at her new idol.

"As expected of the boss's sister, hahaha!" Scratching his head, Bruno laughed out loud. It didn't even seem like he was frustrated for not being able to help.

"Miss Cristina is really very strong." Paloma sighed, thinking she had a long way to go if she wanted to be as strong as Christina was.

"But isn't that dog even more amazing?" Arlinda did not take her eyes off Zeus for a moment. It was amazing how powerful this dog was when he had fought this unknown man.

"That is true," the rest nodded.
