The Shadow Attendant was controlling the Black Bear Demon Beast's body.
Every morning, it went out as usual to find food for Li Wei.
Just as it reached the cave entrance, the Black Bear's senses flared with alarm.
The beast's instinct for danger made the Shadow Attendant realize something was wrong, and it slowed its pace.
But it was too slow.
"Vine Binding!"
"Mire Skill!"
WHOOSH!
Several vines grew rapidly, twining around the Black Bear's body.
The Shadow Attendant struggled with all its might, snapping the vines.
But as it struggled, the Black Bear's heavy body sank deeper into the mire.
In the blink of an eye, half its body had sunk into the mire, making it impossible to escape.
"Wind Cutting!"
"Ice Spike Technique!"
Magic Attacks rained down on the Black Bear, and it roared instinctively.
Its powerful will to survive allowed the Black Bear to wrest back control of its own body.
The Black Bear's eyes turned blood-red as it struggled for its life.
