Chapter 1181 1100: Vs The Ape's King
Gracier knew how strong this monster can be, she still remembered how strong her brother was. She wanted to see how far she can carry herself against an impossible enemy.
And with Gracier together with her, she could not afford to lose miserably, might as well put all her skills, no their skills to the test, right?
The two selected a different direction, right and left. They locked the Brutal Ape King in an encirclement.
Saeko revealed her sword while deciding to go all out.
Flame wings appeared behind Gracier's back as floated upwards into the sky. Her hair flared majestically after entering her battle state. Her pure expression also turned serious. She sent a secret signal to Saeko telling her that she would test the water.
Just as Gracier was about to launch an attack, the Brutal Ape King reacted.
The monster stomped the ground and flew straight up like a rocket at Gracier.
Its killing intent overflowed from its bestial eyes. It swiped at Gracier's head with its sharp claws. If this slap connected, even a Gracier with her tough body would be wrecked.
Gracier flapped her wings and she dodged the swipe in a very agile manner. Speeding up, her scythe slashed downward, it responded as it emitted tearing sounds.
''Dragon's mode!''
BOOM!
She yelled and with it, the wind in the forest died down like something had frozen it in place. An immense power started swirling in the sky, like a broken flute, and the sound of air being torn apart rang in everyone's ears.
Gracier took out her full power.
The sharp sound and the scythe came for the Brutal ape king. Since the ape couldn't fly, it can only attempt to block with its own palms.
Palms and scythe met in a sky-sundering collision. The Brutal ape king fell and it landed on its own two feet. Adjusting its posture, it shot at Gracier again like a cannonball, adding another deep crater to the ground. The fissure spread deep into the forest.
In the air, Gracier steadied herself with a pale look. Unlike the ape who was still as energetic as a tiger, she was the one who lost despite attacking with all her power.
With aerial advantage, she still lost that bout while the ape king had to deal with the disadvantage of being unable to fly around even when he is a Demigod, not all of them are capable of doing until their transformed into humanoid form. If not, she would have been heavily hurt in that attack.
Everything happened pretty fast, Saeko decided not to stay idle, even though Gracier had said to wait for her signal, she couldn't take the risk of having something bad happen to her while she stood calmly like an obedient soldier.
Before the ape could deliver his next attack, Saeko launched an attack.
Two bolts of lightning streaked across the air, enveloping the Brutal ape king like lightning chains.
The lightning struck the ape king and slightly charred the golden fur of the ape king. The attacks failed to harm the ape king but the creature was still mad as hell that someone tried to harm it. Flexing its arms, the lightning was easily dispelled.
The longarm ape king charged at Saeko in a blur of golden light. It made craters due to its immense weight and power. Gracier only saw the ground breaking apart but not much else due to how fast the ape traveled in such a short time.
''Don't resist.'' She sent this transmission to Saeko who nodded.
Saeko positioned her sword before her as she braced for impact. Shockingly flames sprouted forth from her sword, recalling Gracier's early message, Saeko let the flames engulf her turning himself into a burning man in the process.
The ape king raised its claw in the air, he was getting ready to give Saeko a giant bestial swipe when within range.
However, the ape suddenly thought, if he attacked Saeko like this then wouldn't it be harmed by the fire? The ape king hesitated in its subconscious mind.
As a demigod, this ape king already had basic analytical powers and even more. A human would think twice about putting their arms in flames, this ape king had the same notion.
But, when it saw the bodies of its followers and descendants, the ape king felt another wave of rage take over. It couldn't care about anything anymore and it sent a mighty slap at the burning figure, slapping the human far away!
'Huh? Something does feel right?' The ape remarked some incongruity as he slapped Saeko flying, it didn't feel like hitting a fleshly thing but a mass of flame instead. Upon coming to this realization the ape king's eyes widened, he had been played, somehow Gracier had switched places between Saeko and a flame clone despite being in the sky, this should prove her incredible talent with the flame element.
The Ape King didn't have the time to marvel at the little human flying, because Saeko who was unscathed thanks to Gracier's flame clone attacked from the distance.
She took out a coin and flipped it into the air as it fell onto her charged hand. The coin turned sizzling white and she shot the coin out as a railgun projectile that looked like a menacing orange laser. It hit the ape king without a hitch.
Boom
Shrouded by a storm of dust and smoke, Gracier fired a volley of fireballs into the dust cloud, hitting the ape king within.
Boom Boom Boom!
The ape king swatted down the fireballs while bellowing in anger, then he grabbed a piece of the ground bigger than their heads combined and tossed it at Gracier like he was throwing a small pebble.
Gracier deployed her flame shield without flinching. The flame shield this time looked like a holographic projection and when the boulder hit the surface of the barrier, the boulder shattered easily. How can a piece of rock easily pass a fine thread of flames?
Gracier's calm look changed when the boulder shattered, a black figure appeared behind the vestiges of the boulder.
The ape king didn't give a damn that the enemy is a beauty who could cause the downfalls of countries, it unleashed a massive punch at the special flame shield.
The flame shield held on for a short while but the ape king's terrifying strength cracked them. Ditching magic and focusing on physical abilities, this ape king had one of the toughest bodies of all the monsters they faced. A simple punch had such an astonishing effect.
When the flame shield vanished, Gracier appeared in front of the ape king. With a cold and indifferent look in its eyes, the ape king raised its other fist and slammed it down at her head. The fist pushed away the air around it, if this struck, even if she didn't die, she would be out cold for a long time.
A bolt of large lightning broke apart the firmament at this critical juncture. This force of nature struck the ape king.
It was Saeko's strongest attack when it comes to the lightning element, Lightning Strike.
Against this ape king, she didn't hold back, she went all out to charge and bring forth this lightning strike. She managed to smite the ape king with lightning before the ape king can land its attack on the Gracier's head, it was not the real Gracier, the real one was elsewhere.
At the same time, the real Gracier launched an attack.
A pillar of flame attacked the ape king from below, the two attacks formed of purgatory of flame and lightning as they connected with the ape king.
Lightning and Flame combined like friends, meanwhile Saeko helped to fan these two elements by shooting wind bullets, Gracier drenched in sweat shot more fireballs at the monster.
The monster started falling down from the sky and with fireballs coming from the ground.
The impact site was generously decorated by a rain of fireballs.
Boom Boom Boom Boom!
Before the ape king even touched the ground it was already scorched by the explosions. As a result, he fell to the ground with even more force.
The ape king got buried by the fireballs and the falling momentum. Large chunks of rock erupted into the air as another dust storm shielded the impact area from everyone's vision. They didn't completely stop, as they understood that they didn't deliver enough damage, the enemy wasn't that weak to get easily done in like this.
The ape king's overly-developed body gave it immense endurance. Its body is a weapon in itself, it's very perilous to be on the receiving end of its brutish strength. The duo with a perfect understanding took advantage of the ape king's inability to fly and limited attack range in order to gang up on the creature. However, it's far from enough to bring this enemy down.
Hence, the next instant they launched more attacks but this using their respective, at least they tried because, in the next instant, there was a terrific explosion that sent them flying.
KABOOM!
''Gah!''
''Guh!''
The impact broke a few of their ribs as they coughed a mouthful of blood.
