Chapter 134: Raiding the Mountain Monkey's Lair part 5

Kayn, Gilbert, Jude, and Charles landed on the side assigned to them. Water instantly reached close to their knee.

In the next moment, dozens of Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas jumped to confront them.

Kayn looks from left to right and asked. "Are you guys ready?"

"I've always been," Jude smiled.

"You know that this kind of thing excites me the most," Gilbert grabbed a dagger in both of his hands.

"Let's just get on with it!" Charles is feeling very excited.

Whoosh!historical

Kayn initiated the fight by throwing a dagger at a nearby Mountain Monkey.

Splat!

The Mountain Monkey died instantly as Kayn instantaneously arrived to pick the dagger back up and went for another target.

Jude stayed at the back line to provide firepower, while Gilbert and Charles started clearing both sides from Kayn.

With a wave of his hand, Kayn took out the Molten Ice Sword from his Storage Ring. He instantly brandished his sword to cut the bodies of a group of Mountaing Monkeys charging towards his direction.

Just like cutting tofu, he sliced the bodies of the Mountain Monkeys very easily.

The Mountain Monkeys dropped to the ground one after another and dyed the rocky surface of the floor blood red.

Bang!

Kayn was suddenly sent flying away.

Luckily, he was swift enough to block to the side with his sword, so he didn't get hurt. He only retreated and eventually came to a stop after the force of what hit him disappeared.

Looking at where he was initially standing, he saw three Earth Gorillas fiercely staring at him. The one at the center was smiling.

Kayn felt slightly annoyed.

"You won't be smiling for long," Kayn threw one of his daggers to the smiling Earth Gorilla.

Clang!

The Earth Gorilla easily parried the attack with its arm covered in rocks.

As if to express how proud it was, the Earth Gorilla started thumping its chest.

All of a sudden..

BOOOM!

A loud explosion erupted from the dagger that Kayn had thrown as flame covered the three Earth Gorillas.

Whoosh!

The three Earth Gorillas were immediately sent flying away while burning and hitting multiple unlucky Mountain Monkeys in the process. Some Mountain Monkeys died, while others got injured. None were spared from suffering.

This time, Kayn lift his lips to form a smile.

Enraged by Kayn's action, the three Earth Gorillas hastily and recklessly charge at him after picking themselves up.

As they made their way to Kayn, they caused even more casualties to the Mountain Monkeys blocking their path.

Witnessing such a sight, Kayn instantly thought of a bright idea in his mind.

Without wasting any time, he started running away from the three Earth Gorillas. While doing so, he made sure to run toward the direction where there are plenty of Mountain Monkeys gathering.

At the same time, he started attracting even more Earth Gorillas from the surrounding. This time though he used ordinary daggers as he cannot afford to waste his special daggers that have undergone the merging process. After all, he only has a limited number of them.

At the side, Gilbert and Charles notice Kayn's strange method.

"What are you doing?!" Gilbert exclaimed.

"Go and start to aggro the Earth Gorillas and run around the surroundings. You'll understand why after doing it!" Kayn can't be bothered to explain because he is in the midst of avoiding the Earth Gorillas while also making sure that the Mountain Monkeys won't ruin his strategy.

Gilbert and Charles looked at each other for a few seconds before proceeding to do the same as Kayn is doing.

At first, the two didn't understand the reason why Kayn was luring Earth Gorillas everywhere. But after some time, they finally realized that the recklessness and unbothered trait of the Earth Gorillas made it a lot easy for them to clear all the Mountain Monkeys because they would go around rampaging everywhere without any care for whoever and whatever they attack. They would literally swoop, punch, and kick all over the place despite the fact that there are Mountain Monkeys in those locations.

Both Gilbert and Charles smiled in delight and immediately exerted even more effort in aggroing as many Earth Gorillas as possible.

Standing in the backlines, Jude abruptly decided to stop throwing magic spells. He quickly understood what Kayn and the others are currently doing and in fear of disrupting or causing any factors that might affect their strategy, he opted to wait and see how the situation would turn out. Needless to say, he still took care of the Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas that tried to attack him.

Meanwhile, Friedrich and Chastine can't help themselves turning to look in the direction of Jude's party as they started hearing strange noises from their side.

To the surprise of the two, they found out that their side seems to be enjoying instead of feeling despair at the seemingly never-ending stream of Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas coming out of the holes in the walls.

"What's happening?"

"It seems like they're just running around.."

"I don't think that's the case," Friedrich shook his head.

"That!" Chastine pointed at the Earth Gorillas chasing after Kayn. "It seems like they're making the Earth Gorillas eliminate the Mountain Monkeys,"

"Oh," Friedrich finally understood why Jude's party aren't experiencing any trouble.

"Let's follow them,"

"Alright!"

With the new knowledge they got from Kayn, Friedrich, and Chastine immediately informed their respective squad to start doing the same as the former as well.

As soon as everyone started adapting Kayn's strategy, the problem with the Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas significantly decreased.

They basically don't have to worry about the Mountain Monkeys anymore and just have to make sure that the Earth Gorillas don't catch them accidentally.

With their current capability, it's quite easy to guarantee such a result.

In no time, the Mountain Monkeys started dropping like flies as a result of the Earth Gorillas attacking them without any care and recklessly.

"What do we do now with the Earth Gorillas?!" Jude can't help asking Kayn as he notices that there are barely any Mountain Monkeys left on their side.

"Do you have any suggestions?!" Kayn only thought of dealing with the Mountain Monkeys. And because he was preoccupied with them, he had no time to think of a strategy to deal with the Earth Gorillas afterward.

Jude stayed quiet as he thinks about how they can deal with the Earth Gorillas.

Unlike the Mountain Monkeys, the Earth Gorillas aren't easy opponents, especially now that they've gathered them together.

Because of Kayn's strategy, it pretty much made it next to impossible to fight against the Earth Gorillas a few at a time. They have no other choice now but to deal with each of the gathered groups of Earth Gorillas at the same time. Otherwise, they'll be facing a lot of danger.

Looking around his surroundings, Jude immediately notices that Friedrich and Chastine's squad has adapted Kayn's strategy as well. In addition to that, because of their capability, they were able to quickly catch up to the pace of the progress of their side.

"This is good," Jude immediately thought of something. "Hold on for a moment, Kayn!"

"Take your time," There were still a considerable number of Mountain Monkeys left, so there should still be enough time for Jude to think of how to deal with their next problem.

Jude approached Kimberly and Cyril and starts discussing a proposition with the two.

"That's a good idea!"

"It seems like it won't only be them that will be having fun!"

"Yep! Now it's our turn to enjoy as well!"

After a few minutes, Jude returned to his party and immediately informs Kayn what he, Kimberly, and Cyril planned to do.

"That's perfect!" Kayn expresses his support without asking any questions.

It didn't take long for all Mountain Monkeys to be killed. Jude, Kimberly, and Cyril had to lend a hand to finish all of them because the Earth Gorillas couldn't harm the remaining Mountain Monkeys when there were only a few of them left as the latter decided to stay as far away as possible from the Earth Gorillas in fear of dying by their own hands.

At that moment, Kayn and the rest who were luring the Earth Gorillas simultaneously run toward one certain location, which is where the whirlpools are taking place.

Needless to say, that wasn't what they were aiming for.

In the midst of running, Kayn, Jude, and Charles quickly stored all the Springwater Source Bonsai in their respective Storage Rings so that it won't be destroyed by the Earth Gorillas following after them.

The instant the Springwater Source Bonsai were taken away, the whirlpools slowly settled down until eventually, they all disappeared.

That was the intention because clearly, the Earth Gorilla won't continue to follow them if the whirlpools still exist.

There is no problem or anything to worry about with removing the whirlpools. That's because all Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas that lived inside the holes up in the ceiling of the second floor either have drowned to death already due to the whirlpools or have died at the hands of the Earth Gorillas while the latter has joined the group that's currently chasing after Kayn and the others.

Time continues to pass as Kayn and the rest slowly got close to each other.

"I'll go on ahead first," Jude muttered as he flew in front of Kayn and the others.

"We will catch up to you soon," Kayn reminded.

"I understand,"

Over at the other squad, Kimberly and Cyril also left their respective squad to meet with one another.
