While Alex and Incursio were having fun, the same thing could be said about the others.
Currently, Saeko and Gracier were progressing in their chosen dungeon, both busy fighting their, powerful monsters. Brutal Apes, low-level Demigod monsters. They're four meters high with tough white fur, they are aggressive as their name suggests. Often rarely walk in a group but Saeko's group stumbles upon this couple, Gracier was fighting against the female Brutal Ape.
Looking at the other side of the forest where a girl and beast can vaguely be seen, Saeko grinned after listening for a short while.
"Sister Gracier's side looks like it's doing fine. She seems to be having fun."
She turned her attention back toward the female Brutal Ape standing not far away from her. She restrained her smile and focused harder on her current target.
She brushed her hair to the and lightning flickered between her fingers, the flickering electrical light dazzled her countenance, making her shine with an impossible sheen. At this moment she appeared like a goddess wielding lightning.
The Brutal ape in front of her wailed with savage flashes in its eyes. The brutal aura coming from it gave indubitable clues that it was starting to get anxious because it can also hear the dying sounds of its mate.
He was livid and it showed this by drumming its chest at Saeko.
''Wow! Angry aren't we?''
Saeko glanced at the Brutal Ape and she raised her arms. Clapping it and subsequently parting her palms, bluish-white lightning danced between her palms in a radiant display of power.
''I'm also pissed off that I'm not with my hubby and he is with a white-haired bitch!"
The lightning between her palms expanded in less than a few seconds to become a big mess of electrical discharge.
The corner of her lips curled into a smile after she finished channeling her power. She lobbed the orb of lightning at the ape, it flew while carrying the condensed power of a storm. She did not want to rely on her Gift but this time only use the lightning element.
The orb of lightning churned the environment, dust shirked away, the soil got disintegrated, and boulders got thrown around by the sheer force of her attack.
Even the sound it emitted could intimidate anyone.
Swish!
The terrifying attack caused the fur on the ape to stand on its ends, like an attacked porcupine. It released a low growl and it charged at the attack after winding itself up. It left afterimages before the two met in a glorious collision.
Boom
The lightning attack got shattered but the blur appeared from inside the explosion, she could see the ape swinging its arm, relatively unharmed from the attack.
"Oh! What a tough arm…"
The beast retrieved its arms and Saeko couldn't help expressing her shock. The creature used its own body to block and the attack did little to harm the monster. The arms on this creature are probably very durable judging from the results.
A flash of light and Saeko covered herself in lightning. She stomped the ground and she conducted the lightning she had mustered up into the ground. Like a wide-spread net, the lightning traveled toward the Brutal Ape.
The lightning ravaged the lands. Shrieking, the beast pounded its arms on the ground and it swiftly disappeared. Appearing in the air, a metallic shine appeared on its arms before it disappeared again.
Swoosh!
The next time it showed itself, it was already at Saeko's side.
''Fast!'' Saeko commented.
Then the Brutal Ape flailed its arm at her waist, splitting the air as it made its way towards her. If this attack connected then it's game over for Saeko.
Flinching slightly, she stomped one more time but it was not a lightning attack this time. It's a tidal wave of sand mixed with a small wind storm.
Like minuscule bees, the tidal wave of iron sand formed a solid fortress wall beside her, blocking the attack from the Brutal Ape.
Bang!
The arm hammered the fortress-like iron wall, dispersing part of the iron wall in a shocking display of strength. The arm even managed to split the iron wall in half as the attack came before Saeko in an instant.
Her pupils shrunk, and she backed off with two steps. This action saved her because the Brutal ape attack missed by a few centimeters. It stopped because the Brutal ape's arms weren't long enough, not because it ran out of momentum.
Its arm was stuck in the compromised iron wall, the ape couldn't barge past the wall since the wall was not destroyed. It was a hilarious scene but that was a close call for Saeko who hadn't anticipated such a display of might. Even though she read little information about this monster, it was her first fighting one. She unknowingly made some errors in her judgment which almost cost her life.
Saeko felt a cold drop of sweat rolling down the side of her head. With a stiff look, she felt the arm brush past her face and that sent a chill down her spine.
The attack almost hit her, in the face and to women their face is priceless and a sacred temple one should not aim for.
When she returned to her senses, anger climbed up her face.
"You damned ape, you aimed for the face!"
Her smile was one of utter anger.
''Time to make it Bang!''
There is something Saeko always wished to try after witnessing Alex's many battles, she often thought it would be cool if she had a Gift capable of shooting projectiles, and bullets like Alex's Gift does. One should not forget that even before meeting Alex, even before becoming his fiancee, one of the women in his love, she was a crazy fan of Alex, she had a room full of his posters and often imagined herself shooting projectiles, bullets using Alex's terms but unfortunately, she couldn't but then one day she got an idea while playing with a coin, it possible to copy Alex's move with a coin, she had performed this move during her training session and finally the time has come to let it blossom, time to make it Bang!
Saeko grabbed a coin from her spatial ring and lightning started crackling and flickering all around her. A sense of dread appeared in the male Brutal Ape, it hurriedly retreated after breaking free from the iron wall.
''BANG! Lightning Bullet!''
It was too late, it withdrew its arm and an orange laser came incinerated a bigger hole through the iron wall and landed squarely on the ape. With no time to evade, it raised its arms to shield itself.
BOOM!
The ape howled in pain after the accelerated projectile made contact with its arms. With its tough defense, the ape got sent into the sky but its arms were only slightly burned from the attack.
Bang! Bang!
Few others coins imbued with lightning followed, leaving gaping holes in the beast's fur. Adjusting itself in midair, the ape was thinking about sending a counterattack when the Brutal Ape saw a very scary scene that caused him to whimper.
Standing there, a bigger lightning orb was currently spinning at high velocity, the surrounding air got sucked into the ensuing vortex. A dreadful amount of heat is being generated by the lightning orb.
In an instant, with a brilliant blue explosion of light, Saeko threw the lightning bolt at the ape who couldn't dodge in time.
''Uwagh''
The lightning electrocuted the beast while the heat burned the ape, there was nothing the ape could do when confronted with such an attack.
Already heavily wounded, the high heat started showing its effects. Within a short period, the ape got clad in dazzling light as it continued wailing in pain.
His vision went blurry as tears filled his eyes. Biting the pain was barely an option as agonizing cramps seemed to crush its insides from within. Surely this pain would stop soon. Surely there's an end to this. The beast wasn't so sure and ready to give up because of it.
''Roarrrrr!'
The beast roared and gave one last attempt, he couldn't die like this, no he wouldn't accept such a death, and Overlord can't die like this, not so easy.
It was then the Brutal Ape that used its special ability and tried to change its body into metal, at least the most vital spots. The heart is the first one followed by the brain, then its genital as protecting this is a must before the rest of the body.
As if the beast had an epiphany he started using all its mana to create a metallic shine on those places mentioned above but there was no way Saeko would let him have his wish.
''Just die you stupid ape.''
She was still furious that her face got almost scratched by this stinky ape, what if this leave some mark and as a result, Alex came to dislike her because of it? The monster has to die.
''Lightning Bullet!''
BANG!
Another coin departed but this one was a bit special. The ape did not get the chance to protect its head before the lightning-infused coin penetrated its brain and lighted up the lightning covering its body. It was like adding fuel to a fire.
''!!!!!!''
The beast was set ablaze and couldn't do anything about it.
In about 30 seconds, bordering on almost complete disintegration, the charred remains of the male Brutal Ape fell from the air.
