'So the rumours were true! ' Cleo's uncle inwardly screams as he was punched by the Azure Berserk Monkey a hundred times in just a matter of seconds.
Even with his thick hide and tough armour, he cannot help but cough up blood after the barrage. Each punch was laced with the intent to kill, and he was unable to fight back because of his transformation.
ROAR! The giant rhino roars, the Azure Berserk Monkey freezes, Cleo's uncle then charges towards it, and the blow finally injures his opponent heavily.
The Azure Berserk Monkey feels its innards shaking; it retaliates, but once again was hit by a charge tackle. Cleo's uncle knows that even if his opponent knows martial arts, it is still a beast; they are born to follow their instinct.
As long as he attacks repeatedly at a quick pace, it will be unable to think of its next move; hence, its martial arts are sealed.
'Hah! I was worried for nothing! A beast is still a beast; no matter how humanoid their appearance is, they are still lacking in intelligence.'
The Azure Berserk Monkey knows that its life is in danger, but it does not panic. It once again starts using its martial art, but because it is feeling extreme danger, it is unable to fully display the martial art that it knows.
'D*mn! This monkey is something else! It's using its martial arts instinctually; how great is its talent? No wonder it is considered one of the strongest of their clan.' Cleo's uncle marvels at his opponent's talent.
BAM! Another tackle blows the Azure Berserk Monkey back; their battle destroyed the trees in the area. Both giants are getting tired; they can fight for a long time, but the consumption of energy that is needed for each attack and their own regeneration is massive.
Especially for the Azure Berserk Monkey, it had fought Cleo before and had already spent some of its energy. It also received two massive blows that caused heavy injuries; meanwhile, Cleo's uncle only received one injury, and he tanked it well enough to fight back.
'It is time to finish this! ' Realising that the active ability of his opponent is actually starting to wane, Cleo's uncle decided to use one of his trump cards.
He starts retreating, startling the Azure Berserk Monkey, but it quickly snaps back and tries to flee; unfortunately for it, Cleo's uncle only retreated to gain momentum for his next attack.
He had intentionally destroyed the trees in the area in order to make sure that this move would hit his target. He starts charging, and this time the bright blue glow in his body intensifies. The instinct of danger and the threat of death quickly descend on the Azure Berserk Monkey.
It roars as it's eyes turn red; suddenly, it forgets everything, and its stance changes once again, returning to its earlier martial art form with both of its hands forming a circling motion.
'Hah! Do you really think that this will save you!? You are dead meat! ' Confident in his trump card, Cleo's uncle looks at the attempt of his opponent with disdain.
BOOM! Their clash causes the surrounding forest to shake. Cleo and his group sense the aftershock of their battle, and they are shocked.
'What the hell was that!? The sound was so loud that it caused the air to actually produce a pseudo-sonic boom! Not to mention, the quake that it caused caused some of the trees to actually fall! ' Cleo inwardly screams.
'Well, at least I am starting to feel the movement of my body once again. *Sigh* with the way I fight. I needed at least one pet that is capable of healing. With just my regeneration, I do not think that it is going to be enough, even if they improve.' He thought.
He wanted to taste the meat of the Azure Berserk Monkey, especially with his new ability. He can eat the entire body, including the bones, as long as his teeth are hard and sharp enough to cut them into bits. He can swallow them with ease, but unfortunately, he is unable to devour them whole, unlike the edible parts that he can swallow in an instant with the help of the system.
*Creak* *Crack* *Crack* The sound of bones cracking can be heard as he tries to move his body; he raises his hand only for it to fall down immediately. It seems that he is still unable to fully move, but he is not worried; even if his transformation deactivates, he can still recover, albeit at a much slower pace.
With the constant feedback from his two pets, his strength is also increasing at a constant rate, so he is not afraid of just resting. The only reason he is forcing himself to move is that, according to Elcio, the other members of the clean-up group are getting killed. It seems that their reinforcements are not as great as he thought they were; they are weaker compared to the elite Blue Rage Monkeys.
"I-I-" Suddenly, Elcio and the guards stand up with dumbfounded looks on their faces. They watch as Cleo starts to roll like a broken rag doll but is speaking.
"Young master! Do not push yourself; we can still!" Elcio freezes. He had watched his young master push himself to the brink of death fighting an enemy that is clearly multiple times stronger than him. Now, he is watching him force himself to stand up just to continue fighting.
He clenched his fist hard. His young master is born into a rich family; he does not need to try this hard to achieve success in the eyes of normal people; he can just stay at home and play with his maid.
He does not need to work hard; he does not need to suffer, but here he is, broken and defeated but still trying to fight. He does not want to fight because he wants fame; he wants to fight because he wants to lessen the deaths of his comrades.
