Chapter 289 Fighting The Giant Ape ( Final Part )

An earth-shattering explosion takes place as the spear hit the ape, compared to back when they had fought against the orc chieftain it was even more powerful. The intense power inside of the spear fully erupted and the ape was forced to take the brunt of it, of course, Greenie who had fallen down a couple of meters in front of the ape wasn't in a good situation either.

As the dust settled the party could all see the result of the attack, the ape was clutching its bleeding chest as a large hole could be seen on it, gallons of blood were spilled down on the ground as demonic flames were present around it. The fur around the area of impact was also affected by the explosion and demonic flames as it was clearly burnt. This was one of the rare times that the party had managed to deal any serious damage to the ape which showed just how powerful Laura's spell was, of course, it could only work during such battles as the long casting time was simply too easy to interrupt if it was a one on one fight.

Greenie was laying on the ground as his body was hit by the explosion, not only had the explosion dealt damage to him, but the demonic flames had also heavily burnt him as he simply continued laying down and breathing heavily. Reign and the others arrive and quickly start battling the ape again while Beast sent out Fluffy and his lions to get Greenie away from the battle.

Laura immediately started using her ability in order to heal Greenie up, he wasn't in mortal danger or anything like that but it was better to be safe than sorry. However, they were surprised when Greenie declined the help of the beasts and slowly got up by himself before waving at Beast and Laura.

Immediately he ran towards the ape in order to join the others and fight. Even with his body hurt he still wished to stand side by side with Reign and the others in order to take care of the ape that was now seriously injured. The many attacks from before had already done a number of the ape and it was clear that it wouldn't be able to last much longer.

With Greenie joining the battle with his weary body the battle continued raging on in favor of the party, the ape was on the end of its ropes as multiple deep wounds had appeared on its body. Of course, not everything was great for Reign and the others as Reign was currently the only melee combatant that didn't have a serious injury.

Tank's arm was broken, Wolf's leg was also broken and Greenie's whole body was hurt by the powerful explosion of the spear, the only fighter that could still fight at his peak was Reign. He also took on the role of the main combatant and fought the most against the ape. Tank's scythe was still shining with a ghostly green light as he sent wave after wave of blade lights towards the ape from the side.

Wolf was using his flaming sword to its fullest while occasionally launching flaming spears at the ape from a distance. The whole fight was simply going favorably towards the party and the ape seemingly had no answer to their onslaught. Beast, Shadow, and Laura did their best in order to deal more damage to the ape from a distance, Shadow's form after activating the mark was also suitable for close-range combat, but with his arm still in a bad shape he wouldn't be able to do a lot and right now he focused mostly on annoying and trying to stop the ape in its tracks with his shadows.

Tens of shadows were springing up around the ape as they tried to bind its body, the powerful ape was able to tear them apart with its powerful limbs with relative ease, but as more and more arrived it was becoming harder. Not only did the ape have to deal with that, but the non-stop attacks that were sent his way from both the long-range and close-range combatants were also something that was simply impossible to completely defend against or dodge.

Simply by looking at the whole battlefield, it seemed that Shadow had the easiest job of all of them, but the truth was that his whole forehead was already filled with sweat that was dropping down on the ground each second as the sheer amount of shadows he was currently controlling was the absolute maximum he could do. Not only was it hard to control all of the shadows, but the mana he was currently spending was also incredibly high and he could continue for a maximum of 1 minute before collapsing from exhaustion.

The total time that the battle had been raging on was 17 minutes and only about 2 minutes had passed since Reign and the others had used their weapon skills in order to fight against the ape. To be more exact it was 2 minutes for Reign while only a bit more than 1 minute had passed since the others had activated their own skills.

Everybody could feel that their skills were close to expiring while their mana was running low. All of them had already used all of the mana potions they had, the first time they used the mana potions was at the same time that Reign had activated his weapon skills, when Greenie used his hammer's skill was the second time while the third and final potion each of them had been drunk just a while ago when Laura launched her [ Spear of Annihilation ] at the ape.

Even with the potion, the mana they had was simply too low to continue the battle for much longer, their current state consumed a lot of mana even with them doing nothing, but when a battle was taken into account and the numerous skills that had been used it came to a frightening amount of mana being consumed each second.

The golden glow of Reign's katana skill was slowly starting to dim as it only had a short amount of time left, his mark however was still active and his black and white lightning was slowly starting to take over the golden glow of the stars. Even though it was a good thing that his lightning was growing stronger, it was also bad since Reign wasn't certain if he would be able to fully control it for a longer period of time.

Laura was panting heavily right now as she was not only trying to help the guys out with her healing powers but the amount of mana she previously used together with demonic energy and life force in order to launch the spear was great and it weakened her slightly. Beast's fingers were already bleeding from all of the arrows he had launched at the ape, even with that he continued shooting arrow after arrow while imbuing each one with a lot of mana and using the special property of the bow to imbue them with the element of wind. Each of the arrows cut through the air with incredible speed before hitting the boss.

Reign and the others all knew that they had to do something fast, the ape was cornered right now and it was a matter of time before they win, but it was time that they didn't have as their skills were close to expiring while they had no idea how long the ape would be able to continue fighting in this state.

Everybody suddenly used everything they got for a final attack, the ape was able to sense it and responded in the same fashion. The red aura around it intensified as the ape used every ounce of strength and mana it had to make its body even stronger compared to before. Doing that however made the duration of its current form drastically lower and it was betting everything on this.

Beast took out his sun arrow and notched it on his bow before imbuing it with most of that mana he had left before launching it toward the ape. Laura created another pentagram of blood in the air before attacking the ape with a burst of concentrated demonic energy. Shadow used everything he had to control the shadows and make them even faster and more durable in order to stop the ape at the final moment of the battle.

Greenie simply poured all of the mana he had into his hammer before swinging it at the ape while Tank and Wolf did the same with their respective weapons. Tank's scythe shone brightly as a 6-meter-tall blade of light was sent toward the ape while Wolf had used his flaming sword and delivered a fearsome slash from above the ape.

As all of the attacks landed on the ape only Reign was still standing in place, his broken sword was hanging on his waist as he held his katana with both hands. The katana was not even visible at this point as it shone a brilliant gold, Reign had used the second skill of the katana for the first time ever, he could not only get a boost to his attributes by using the power of the stars, but he was also able to deliver an incredibly powerful attack as well.

He didn't know how powerful the attack would be or if the current state of the skill would make it weaker, but it was his final bet as all of the power the katana had was poured back into it. Reign closed his eyes before slashing down with his katana, a splendid blade of light suddenly burst out from the katana as the ground in front of him split open.

Even the clouds above were split apart from the incredible power the attack possessed, it was as if a wall of light suddenly appeared in front of Reign, there was suddenly a line in front of Reign that continued forward for about 200 meters, everything in its path was completely destroyed and even the ape was almost cut in half from the mighty blow. The ape tried moving toward Reign, but its injuries were now simply too serious and soon it fell down to the ground.
