After killing a couple of Brutal Apes, Saeko and Gracier meet up and switched locations appearing in another forest.
The forest was endless, murky, and flourishing. Its canopy was competed for by rhododendron, rowan, and fir, and twinkling lights bursting through their crowns allowed for a medley of ferns to cultivate the crunchy layer of leaves below.
Thick branches dangled from many a tree, and a variety of flowers, which clung to any space they could find, clashed with the otherwise emerald terrain.
A mixture of beastly noises, which were caused by a varmint, reverberated through the air and were out of sync with the occasional sounds of breaking twigs beneath the feet of larger animals.
''Come on not another forest again.'' Saeko finished her sentence, and an unexpected turn of events occurred.
Roar
A roar came from some distance away, the roar itself bringing down a sea of trees.
This was just the voice, but it was frightening, truly what a frightening power.
''What the fuck!!'' Gracier was unable to control her language and she exchanged a look with Saeko, you can see the worries inside them, it was then it happened again.
ROAR!!!
Another one but this time it was more powerful.
Fury and viciousness mixed into an incoherent shout, and this boom came from beyond the trees. A shapeless soundwave hit the sea of trees like somebody dropped a missile. Trees as high as ten meters were easily uprooted and blown away by the force of this roar.
This roar came light a giant bolt of lightning congealed by layers upon layers of cumulonimbus clouds. The soundwave engulfed everything in its path, even other sounds were devoured by its sheer volume. All the beasts and animals in the radius of 10 kilometers were rendered limp by this domineering roar. Even the peak Grand Master ones on the cusp of reaching the next realm were hurting all over from this furious roar. The weaker monsters in this region got knocked out from the shout alone.
The girls went pale when they heard this roar, just when they were about to escape too as they could detect how dangerous the owner of this roar was. This roar was like an explosion in their minds, they almost lost grip on their consciousness.
Gracier and Saeko stared at the fallen trees as they somehow made it through that awful shout. They were temporarily paralyzed by the shout, they believed that if some weak-willed people were present they would be unconscious because of the force of the shout.
''This one is truly dangerous, probably the boss.'' Gracier declared, feeling anxious.
''We should run Saeko.'' She suggested to her friend and sister.
"No, it's too late…"
Her voice trembled.
A figure slowly appeared in the distance. Judging from how fast the figure expanded in size, it's probably traveling at a very high speed. Its aura made the space wobbly, space itself shook because of the power of the beast.
In an instant, the figure arrived after making a loud thud with its descent.
It was an ape around 8 meters in height, spotting completely golden fur, its arm easily propped the hulking beast up like stout legs. The color of its eyes reminded one of spilled blood, it's like violence personified. With a long scar across its face, it told stories about how it fought and killed its way to the present day.
Brutal Ape King: Level 180
"Level 180"
Saeko felt her throat drying up from anxiety. She found it hard to speak as the blood drained from her face. Gracier was right, this thing was a way above them, really dangerous.
One should be aware of a certain fact, once in the Demigod's realm be it a monster or the other species, the more one progress the more stronger the gap, especially after passing a certain cap, level 160, from then onward the difference would become bigger and bigger. Naturally, the gap between level 160 and tier 180 is still big, almost insurmountable like the gap between heaven and earth. They were not peeing their pants from the beast but they were still very shocked by its appearance. Their muscles tensed up as they focused on this monster in front of them.
The duo's hearts started shaking from the seemingly boundless aura the Brutal ape king was releasing. This ape king gave them a very general and simple idea, too strong!
The Brutal ape king scanned everyone here with a cold and distant look, it was treating the duo team like they are just a group of passing ants.
However, when he saw the bodies of its subordinates, its expression changed as its pupil shrank to pin size. A seemingly infinite berserk and vicious aura started pouring out from its body. He was angry, very angry.
Roar
A more terrifying shout exploded outwards. The roar destroyed the surroundings, sending trees into the sky and assaulting the expedition team.
Its sound is like a tornado that stirred the environment and wreaked havoc on all the things here. It's like somebody flipped this whole place on its head. Standing in a vacant spot, the other expedition members are still busy resisting its sound wave as the bones in their bodies creaked.
Like a volcano that blew its top, the Brutal Ape King huffed while releasing its presence all over the field. Having vented its anger, it looked like it returned to its calm state. However, the bloodshot eyes and the oppressive killing intent swimming all over the place told everyone it was far from being sated.
Gracier, the little devil's, the Touch's princess expression turned grim as she yelled her order.
"Retreat! Run as fast as you can!"
Saeko did not discuss Gracier's order and did as the little devil ordered and they started retreating a distance away. Soon, a figure slammed down from the sky above, decimating the place they were standing on, and making a huge hole in the ground.
BANG!
The displaced rocks fell and started raining down on the slow-escaping monsters and animals team. Bloody and battered, they all moaned in pain as they struggled to get up following this simple attack. Their eyes started filling up with terror when they looked at the Brutal ape king.
If the two humans didn't run increasing their anxiety, they would have flattened meat pies under the ape king's feet.
Roar!
After witnessing its failed attack, the ape king raised his arms in anger. Smashing it on Gracier who warned everyone. Its fists pushed the air away as Gracier felt a heavy sensation.
"Flame shield!"
Gracier instantly acted, summoning her flame wings, flapping them, she appeared in front of Saeko with her flame shield deployed, taking most of the damage.
BAM!
Like a physical shield, it started cracking from the attack but it managed to block the attack which only made the ape king angrier!
This fight just got started!
Roar
It drummed its chest as a gaping maw appeared on its face. Another eardrum-destroying shout came from its giant mouth.
Under its roar, the girls slowed down temporarily, they were rooted to their spots by this yell. The Brutal Ape King ape started taking action.
Stomping the ground, the land immediately trembled under its immense strength. Shooting straight for them, the ape flew like a missile as it appeared in front of Gracier, it's hard to imagine that something so big can move so fast!
The ape king balled its hand into a fist as its muscles started bulging, expanding the arm to inhuman levels. Its arm is as thick as a table and this fist went straight for Gracier's heart, aiming to kill without leaving it up to fate.
Its speed didn't match its hulking mass. This was out of her estimates, despite the shock, Gracier remained calm as she retreated into the distance with Gracier in her arms.
After putting a distance between them, she put Saeko done.
''We can only fight,'' Saeko said despite feeling the immense pressure coming from the enemy not too far from them.
''I know.''
The two charged at the enemy but only stopped a few meters away. She materialized her Gift in form of a scythe that came out of a flame portal. She grasped it and she didn't show any trepidation in front of a level 180 monster.
Elation burned in her heterochromia eyes.
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.
