The lion struggled as much as it could, but there really wasn't much that the lion could do in the end.
All that happened was that the lion collapsed to the ground once it ran out of breath.
But before it died, Hayase released the water ball around the lion to let it breathe once more.
The lion was completely drained from its battle with life and death as it gasped for breath. However, it was clear that this fight was over with the way that the lion laid there completely soaked.
It almost didn't even seem like a lion anymore with how wet its mane was.
It looked like a large cat that was wet and frightened.
When a beast was beaten like this, there was only one thought that would be on its mind. Since it wasn't able to fight, then the only thing that it could do was run.
It was just that Hayase had already predicted that the lion would do such a thing. So before the lion could even move, there were these water bubbles that appeared around its limbs.
