Kurtz threw the body of the Warlock in his arm to the side before grabbing the rest of the cord on the body and ripping through it.
[1/13 Captor killed]

[Healing is back to a hundred percent]
[Nature skill activated]
In front of him, he could see a Witch approaching, in her hand she held a bow and with several arrows behind her and the rest of the Magicians slowly spread around him in a circle. They were eleven, including the dead Warlock and Kurtz wondered where the other two were, after all the system had told him his captors were thirteen.
Kurtz felt his body slowly recover while the incoming Witch stopped some distance from him, "prepare to die monster" she spoke, before a purple glow suddenly shot off from her hand into the ground and there, a frightening creature appeared.
It was a gigantic jaguar like creature which stood almost six feet tall and it stared at Kurtz straight in the eyes.
"Attack Grim" The Witch shouted and Kurts saw the Jaguar blasting forwards with a savage growl.
"What is that?" Kurtz thought in alarm as the Jaguar appeared before him in a moment and its claw slammed right into him from above.
[Bone armor activated]
[Strength: 45 (+10)]
A bony armor appeared around his body in an instant and he raised his hand intercepting the claw attack.
The Jaguar's claw slammed into his arm with such crushing force that Kurtz felt his knees gave in slamming into the ground, he groaned before shrugging off the Jaguar's arm but its jaw was already wide open, biting into his head.
An arrow simultaneously shot towards him from the side and Kurtz hand moved in an instant, grabbing the incoming arrow before slamming it into the Jaguar's head in one swift motion.
The Jaguar's head violently slammed into the ground with the arrow embedded in one of its eyes. It gave a roar of anguish springing back to its feet before pouncing back towards Kurtz in an instant.
This time, Kurtz managed to predict the beast's action and he evaded its claw swipe rolling to the side before slamming his spiked foot into its shoulder sending it crashing into a large tree with a large hole in his side.
From above, three arrows shot down towards him, all glowing with ominous purple aura. Kurtz manage to knock two to the side but the third had impacted him right on his chest, the arrow ricocheted off on contact with his bone armor but the purple glow on the had penetrated through the bony covering and Kurtz could feel a strange weakness permitting his whole body.

Kurtz could not even looked at the rest of the information before the Berserk Balam recovered, snarling as it shot towards him, its maw was biting right towards his head. Weakly, he raised an arm towards the beast's maw and its jaw clamped on its, crushing the bone armor in an instant as Kurtz felt blinding pain overwhelmed his consciousness for a moment.
The Berserk Balam pulled with great strength almost yanking off the arm from Kurtz body when two spikes bloody spikes suddenly jutted out of it jaws.
Kurtz had swiftly realized he would die to the beast unless he did something drastic, after all the beast was quite superior to him physically and even though he was faster, the strange effect of the Witch's arrows had weakened him greatly hence, he made a decision.
[Bone control activated]
Sacrificing his hand to get in contact with the beast, he had taken control of the bones in the beast's body and deformed it a moment. The bone in the Berserk Balam had been deformed into a two edged bone axe which pierced through the beast's jaw and it thrashed violently in place.
[Bone Consume skill activated]
With his other arm, he grabbed into the beast's head and soon it bone started to fracture and deform. Soon, a mushy mass covered with the beast coat could soon be seem lying on the ground but in this mass, there was no bone.
Instead, the bones had been added to the white armor on Kurtz body and now, he looked even more terrifying than before, while his deformed hand was quickly shaped back to what it had been. To Kurtz delight, it began to heal back just like any wound and he sighed in relief.
Slowly, he could feel the strange weakness which had overcame his body slowly wore off and he slowly stood before looking at the Magicians all around. His gaze eventually stopping on the Witch who had attacked him, looking at her, Kurtz frowned slightly as he watched an immaterial form of the Jaguar stood behind her before suddenly turning into a purple beam shrouding her entire figure for a moment before disappearing.
Then the Witch turned to look at him, her eyes glowing powerful purple light.
"You shouldn't have killed it." She spoke calmly removing a sword from her side and Kurtz watched the other magicians retreating.
"Uh, was she hiding her power all along." He thought, feeling vast amount of power oozing off the Witch.
