Chapter 157: Getting Carried Away

After Void killed the first Ape with the sudden attack, the remaining Apes were able to quickly figure out how he moved so fast. Although they couldn’t keep up with him, they could protect themselves from his abrupt attacks that seem to always appear out of nowhere.

On Grey’s end, he was still beating up the Purple Horned Lightning Ape. Since he was smaller and faster, the Ape was having a hard time hitting the target whenever it strikes. While Grey who had such a large target placed in front of him was having a hard time missing any of his attacks.

Bam!

His fist landed on the chest of the Ape after he dodged the blow it sent his way, after punching it, he held its outstretched hand with both hands and tried to throw it with his pure physical strength.

“Ah!” He yelled powerfully.

Focusing all his force on his arms, his muscles suddenly swelled and his veins bulged out. An amazing scene followed right after his powerful yell, he lifted the over four meters tall seven hundred pounds Ape off the ground and swung it a round before letting go of the hand.

Crash!

The Ape crashed through a couple of trees breaking through three in the process.

Thud!

It slammed into the fourth tree almost also pa.s.sing through it. When its body slammed into the tree, it created a hole in the almost three meters thick tree that left Grey puzzled as to how the tree was still standing.

Growl!

The Ape growled in pain while shaking its head to try to clear it from the spin and the hit it received. It looked at the little human coming towards it and couldn’t help but feel a little fear.

There was no way it would have believed a human this small could lift it off the ground, not only that, but also throwing it successfully, yet, it happened to it. But being an Ape, one of the best fighting cla.s.s magical beasts, it quickly regained its cool and even looked a little excited.

Grey dashed towards the Ape who was still sitting in the hole its body created on the tree during the crash, he wanted to end things with it quickly so as not to allow any unforeseen events to take place if the battle were to take too long.

He leaped off the ground and shot towards the sitting Ape, preparing to deliver a fatal blow towards its head.

Swoosh!

The Ape abruptly swung its left hand at Grey , not giving him a chance to dodge it.

Smack!

The hand connected successfully, sending Grey flying towards its right.

Bam!

Grey slammed into a nearby tree, creating a hole that went through to the other side of the tree which he came out of.

Crash!

He crashed into the ground after pa.s.sing through the hole in the tree, it was only after sliding a distance of almost fifteen meters did his body stop.

‘Hiss.’

Grey hissed from the pain he felt all over his body.

‘d.a.m.n it! I got carried away.’ He complained while dodging the lightning bolt the Ape sent towards him.

Crack!

After dodging the lightning, the earth armor he had on his body slowly started falling apart.

Just as the battle was about to start, he made sure to create an earth armor in case any of the Ape’s strike lands. Although his physical strength and defense are miles better than that of other humans, it hadn’t gotten to the stage where it could ignore the attack of a Fifth stage Origin Plane magical beast, especially one that excels in physical strength like this Ape.

The Ape immediately left its previous spot, running in Grey’s direction. Since it pursued him here, it naturally wanted to kill him.

When Grey saw the Ape coming in his direction, he hurriedly used the water element to create icicles that instantly came out of the ground trying to pierce the leg of the Ape.

Roar!

The Ape roared angrily after two amongst the numerous icicles pierced one of its feet making it difficult for it to advance any further.

Of all Grey’s elements, the water element was the one he used the least, while in the past two months, the fire element was the one he used the most. They were the only elements he hadn’t learned any technique for, so he didn’t have any particular flashy moves when using them. But he didn’t have any problems with using the basic attacks of both elements.

When Grey saw that he had successfully stopped the Ape from advancing towards him, he dashed forward while covering his right hand with an earthen glove.

Seeing the human coming towards it, the Ape sent out a punch in Grey’s direction, and to its utmost surprise, Grey met its fist with his.

Bam!

Both fists collided and the sound of flesh hitting stone rang out.

Roar!

The Ape roared, surprised that the human wasn’t sent flying like its prediction, instead, he stayed in the same position mid-air with both fists still together.

Grey who was still mid-air felt his entire body vibrate from the inside out.

‘d.a.m.n it! I got carried away again.’ He complained internally before swinging his right foot at the body of the Ape.

Grey’s foot connected with it pushing it back by three steps.

With everything set, Grey went on a flurry of attacks, moving agilely and smoothly, he delivered one blow after another on the body of the Ape.

Before long, the snow-white hair of the Ape was almost covered in blood from head to toe. When Grey was fighting against it the first time, although Grey’s blows were effective, they couldn’t hurt it. But now, with the spike-covered earthen glove, he was able to wound the Ape with each blow that connected.

‘Aren’t you done yet? I can’t hold on any longer.’ While Grey was studying the injured Ape, he heard Void’s voice.

Being carried away by the battle, he had forgotten about Void.

‘Almost.’ He replied before swiftly attacking the Ape once more.

Within one minute, the body of the huge Ape landed on the ground with a ‘thud’. After killing it, Grey kept the corpse in his ring and went in Void’s direction.

Since he wanted to cook one of the Apes, the strongest one was naturally the best choice.

‘Where’s the fifth one?’ Grey asked on seeing that Void was only entangled with four Apes.

‘Dead.’ replied Void.

‘Oh! Where’s its corpse then?’ Grey enquired looking around.

‘It should be about fifty meters in that direction.’ Void replied pointing towards the south while dodging an attack.

‘Hey! Where are you going?’ He asked hurriedly when he saw Grey leaving.

‘To get its horn.’ Grey answered while quickly heading in the direction of the south.

The horns of these beasts were treasures that could be used to forge elemental weapons, there was no way he was going to leave it behind.

‘Where’s the horn?’ Grey yelled on seeing the faceless, hornless Ape lying on the ground.

‘About that… I might have accidentally burnt it.’ Void said nervously.

Grey stared at the Ape and felt slightly rueful about the loss of the horn.
