288 Fighting the Giant Ape ( Part 5 )

The red aura shrouding the ape was extremely menacing, the air itself changed as it suddenly became harder for everybody to breathe. Small clumps of dirt and pebbles floated around the ape as the monster glared at Reign and the others. Its proud and powerful body had been injured repeatedly by the powerful attacks of Reign and the others. Its fur had been cut and ripped apart in some places while being burnt in others, blood flew out from the many wounds and its body was in bad shape right now.

All of that made the ape furious, it was the most powerful monster of the jungle, the apex predator that no one could stand up to, for it to be repeatedly injured and even held down by the small creatures in front of it made it explode. All the anger it felt exploded as its skill worked to its maximum, transforming its anger into a visible aura around it.

Not only was the aura able to weaken all enemies that were in front of it, but the incredible buff that it provided brought the ape back to its peak form when it came to defense and attacking power, no, its attacks and defense were even higher compared to before while its speed had increased once more.

The ape suddenly disappeared before appearing behind Greenie and Tank, the two were barely able to turn before they were pushed down by the powerful monster. Its two arms were like steel pincers that took a hold of their shoulders, not only were the two of them unable to get away from the ape's grip, but they could feel their muscles convulsing and bones cracking thanks to the ape's incredible power.

One should know that the two had undergone a great transformation and were currently much stronger compared to their usual forms, even a normal boss would have difficulty fighting them one on one as most attacks would be ineffective against their powerful defense. To the furious ape however their defense was nothing, its incredible strength was enough to break through it like nothing, and right now it was pushing the two down on the ground, similar to how the two had done to it previously.

As previously mentioned, apes were able to hold grudges, and this one especially did so, even after gaining such an incredible buff the first thing it did was to push down the two enemies that had the highest amount of defense instead of attacking Shadow or Laura and trying to eliminate them via a surprise attack. Not only had the ape wasted a precious chance, but it also allowed all of the others to attack it while it was busy with Greenie and Tank.

Reign appeared behind it and slashed at its Achilles tendon, the powerful defense of the ape was broken by his incredible attack and the ape's leg suddenly buckled a bit. Reign was unsuccessful at severing the tendon completely, but he was still able to deal enough damage to hinder the ape's movement.

Reign knew that he didn't have a lot of time remaining when it came to his boosted-up state, he was the first to use it and he understood that they needed to deal with the ape quickly. The ape kicks him away immediately before letting go of Tank and using his hand to shield its face against Wolf's flaming sword.

Even with the incredible boost, Wolf was still unable to cut through the monster's hand, his sword was stuck at the bone and before he could fully take it out he was smashed down on the ground by the ape. Both sides had thrown caution out of the window, barely anyone even bothered with dodging attacks or trying to block, that, of course, included the ape.

Time was ticking and they all knew that this had to end fast otherwise they would be dead, even the ape's skill wasn't eternal and it would also be forced back into its normal state after some time.

The ape and the humans alike fought without holding anything back, each one of them was getting more and more injuries as the battle continued, Tank's left arm which held his shield was broken into numerous pieces as it dangled while he slashed at the ape with his scythe, Greenie had thrown away his hammer in the air as the phantom of a gigantic hammer, many times larger than before appeared above the ape and smashed down on it.

The powerful attack shook the entire jungle as everyone scrambled to dodge the aftershock, compared to all of the other weapons, Greenie's hammer was a bit different, not only did it come with a skill that Greenie could continuously use, but he could also use an incredibly powerful version of the same skills once every 2 days.

Even when compared to Tank's and Beast's weapon skills, it was above them when it came to the sheer amount of destruction it could cause. Even the powerful ape was flattened down by the mighty hammer before getting up, the skill managed to hurt him but it was still far from enough to kill it.

( Author: Tank's axe skill was originally usable once every 2 days, I changed it to once per day. )

Wolf on the other hand was hopping on one leg as the ape had previously grabbed a hold of his left leg and broken it, even though his mobility had taken a hit he was still able to deliver powerful attacks with his greatsword that had turned orange from the intense heat of the flames around it.

Beast had managed to deal numerous attacks during his fusion, but after it had ended he needed to retreat in order to use his bow, he repeatedly summoned huge wind blades above the ape that slashed down on it with incredible speed and precision, even the tough defense of the ape wasn't enough to let it escape the attacks unscathed. Laura was definitely the one in the group that was the least injured, but since she was the healer she was continuously using her healing ability in order to slowly heal everybody from a distance, in the midst of the hard battle even the ape had completely forgotten about her.

Thanks to the long distance between her and the others her healing were weakened to a large degree and it took her a long time to heal anybody, the life force she had gathered from the hundreds of apes was luckily abundant and she could continue healing them for a long time.

With one hand she channeled her demonic energy to the others in order to heal them while her right hand held the Dark Tome. The Spear of Annihilation was being formed above her as she slowly chanted the spell, thanks to her dividing her focus in order to heal the other the casting time was prolonged and it was only after a long period of time that it was finished.

Everybody suddenly retreated from the ape, of course since that was what they had done when Greenie had used his hammer previously the ape knew that something was wrong. After sensing the incredible power coming from the spear that was flung at it, the ape quickly started running away in order to dodge it, the spear, however, wasn't a spell that would be thrown in a straight line as Laura could control its path and thus it continued coming after the ape even after the latter had tried dodging it.

The problem came after the ape ran towards Greenie, the latter was the only one amongst the melee combatants that wasn't seriously hurt and it was the one closest to the ape. The giant monster wanted to use his body in order to block the spear and grabbed at him.

Greenie quickly used his Demonic Spear skill and stabbed the two open palms of the giant ape while kneeling down on the ground, he knew that he only needed to stay here for a couple of seconds before the spear arrived, and hit the ape. Even though he would also get hit by the explosion at least the ape would take the brunt of the damage and he wouldn't be too hurt.

As soon as the spears hit the ape however the monsters let out a fearsome laugh before he twisted his body around, Greenie's hands were still stuck on the palms of the ape and he was moved together with the arms straight in front of the spear. Greenie acted quickly and kicked at the ape's body, the power of the kick was enough to propel him back and free his hands, since he wasn't going to be behind the ape however he would be forced to take a lot more damage from the explosion, Greenie quickly channeled all of his mana in order to protect his body as the spear passed underneath his airborne self. The moment Greenie hit the floor was the moment when the spear had managed to land on the ape.
