Is this really a Game?!

The more enraged the boss became the more powerful he grew, that was actually his second skill. It worked similarly to the berserk state but compared to that it gave less power but allowed the ape to still stay sane and not let its primal instincts overtake it. The ape was doing all it could do to attack the party, its powerful attacks were only becoming stronger and more dangerous as more wounds appeared on its body, it had been almost 15 minutes since the battle had begun and nobody was seriously injured yet. Although the two wounds that Beast and Tank had managed to create were big and looked rather serious, compared to the 18-meter ape they were still minor and nothing worth bothering about.

Just the ape’s regeneration could heal it completely in a day or two and the monster had nothing to worry about, still, receiving such injuries only made it angrier, and as such, the ape was becoming more and more powerful. Tank was unable to block a single attack without falling down on his knees as the ape’s incredible strength was far above what he could withstand.

Reign and the others tried their best but unfortunately, it was for naught as the ape’s defense was simply too strong to overcome. Even their most powerful skills had only managed to inflict flesh wounds, when it came to their normal attacks and weaker skills they barely even worked against the ape.

Beast had summoned Blackie and he fused with it, the powerful boost he received after fusing with his now most powerful tamed beast was great and his claws were able to cut through the hard defense of the ape, Wolf, Reign, and Shadow had used their body skills and were enveloped in their elements, by channeling their mana to its fullest they were able to gain incredible boosts in stats and could fight in a somewhat effective way against the ape.

Laura had used her necklace and summoned demonic weapons that charged toward the ape without any breaks, each of the weapons was incredibly powerful but against the tough defense of the ape they could only inflict minor wounds, however, if there were enough ants they could bite an elephant to death and after being hit tens of times by the weapons even the ape had started receiving larger wounds.

Everybody was going all out against the powerful enemy, the powerful pieces of equipment they had gave them strong boosts to their stats and they were finally able to deal some more significant damage to the red ape. However that all came with a price, the consumption of mana they were currently undergoing was great and they wouldn’t be able to continue this for a long time, even with the mana potions they could fight for a maximum of 5 – 6 minutes this way. They knew that if they couldn’t deal any serious damage to the ape in the following 4 minutes then they had to use the power-up skills otherwise they would be left with no mana and they would be left completely to the mercy of the giant ape.

Attack after attack landed on the giant ape as it was rampaging around and trying to hit anyone, its speed was great and there were a couple of instances where it almost landed a hit on them. Everything was going great for the party currently, the couldn’t use its first skill further as even though it would gain a boost to its speed and could finally hit the annoying pests that were attacking it, its defense and attacking power would be lowered and it could potentially get hurt seriously by their powerful attacks.

Unfortunately, something always had to go wrong, during one attack, Shadow stayed in the same place for a bit longer as he inflicted more wounds on the ape that was seemingly busy with Wolf who was in front of him, without even looking back the ape suddenly twisted its body and swiped its powerful fist behind it and managed to hit Shadow who wasn’t expecting such an attack.

Shadow was immediately blasted away and his arm was twisted at a weird angle, just one of the ape’s attacks was incredibly powerful and it managed to deal serious damage to Shadow whose defense was not his strong side. Without being able to use his right arm his attacks were weaker and he had become a bit slower as the attack also inflicted some serious internal injuries as well.

Laura immediately started healing Shadow but the ape suddenly charged at her, it could feel the mana she was emanating and simply by looking at her and Shadow, it knew that she was able to heal them. The ape didn’t want its enemies to get healed as it had finally managed to inflict some damage to them, without even caring for the many attacks that fell on it the giant monster continued running after Laura who was forced to move and defend herself.

She was primarily a long-range damage dealer and her defense was abysmally low, even if it was higher it wouldn’t mean a thing as she simply didn’t have any skills that could help her block the powerful attacks of the ape nor did she have enough experience in close-quarters combat to fight against it.

The powerful monster continued chasing after Laura before Reign suddenly appeared in front of its face. Reign’s katana was put back in its sheath as the latter had closed his eyes before reaching towards the katana in order to deliver a powerful slash right at the eyes of the monster. What Reign forgot during the hasty decision was that the ape wasn’t occupied with anything but chasing Laura right now and it wouldn’t stop because he had appeared in front of it.

Before Reign could do anything, he and the ape crashed into one another, or to be more exact, Reign crashed into the forehead of the ape who had lowered its head and delivered a quick headbutt at Reign. The simple action of the ape had an incredible effect, Reign’s whole body was embedded in the ground as he felt an intense pain coming from his body. One should understand that even though the ape was slower compared to Reign and most of the others, it was still moving at great speed, even if it didn’t headbutt Reign, the damage the collision of the two would deal was great.

Reign slowly got up and saw the ape still charging at Laura, Tank had used his [ Bull’s Charge ] but even that was useless as the ape simply kicked the phantom of the bull away, there was nothing that they could do in order to stop it as the ape was simply too powerful. Reign clenched his katana as it suddenly started shining a bright golden light. The broken sword as well was activated and it was brought back to its past glory. With both weapons in his hand Reign disappeared from the spot and once again appeared in front of the ape, this time however his actions were much faster, and before the ape could do anything Reign had already used the [ Severing, Sword Two ] on it.

With its great reflexes, the ape was able to tilt his head to the side and dodge part of the attack, its cheek was still cut however and blood started flowing from it. Reign immediately kicked at the giant’s face before disappearing again, this time however he was appearing all over the ape and inflicted wounds on it. With the incredible boost in power he had received from both of his weapons he was able to move many times faster than before and deal more damage. The last time Reign had used the combination of both of his weapon skills and the lightning body skill, his body had started falling apart after a couple of seconds, right now however he was many times more powerful compared to back then and was able to take the incredible boost.

Each of Reign’s attacks was able to cut through the tough fur and deal damage to the ape, even though normal attacks still couldn’t deal any significant damage to it, skills could. Reign appeared at the side of the ape’s leg and twisted his body before stabbing towards the leg with his katana, a terrifying golden lightning lance was created around the katana as it stabbed in the monster’s leg. The ape suddenly stopped in its tracks and screamed in pain before kicking Reign away. All that the party was able to see was a yellow line suddenly disappearing in the jungle as the Ape’s attack was simply too great for even the boosted Reign to block.

However as fast as he had disappeared, Reign had also re-appeared, his normal speed in this state was almost at Mach 1 and he could move incredibly fast, if he used any of his movement skills he could definitely break the sound barrier. That, of course, is what he did, by using his skills Reign had suddenly gained a great boost to his speed and before the ape could even try to attack him, he had appeared at the back of the giant’s head.

With both of his weapons drawn he slashed at the wide-open nape of the monster. .𝘤𝑜𝑚
