The lake started to roll, separate, a gigantic snake opened its mouth, countless razor-sharp teeth could be seen. The gigantic snake launched an attack on the Demonic Ice Ape the moment it appeared.
"Hissss…!"
Along with the gigantic snake hissing sound, everything changed all of a sudden. The water boiled, twisted, warped, and coalesced into huge blades, shuttling out of the lake and slashing the Demonic Ice Ape.
Facing this attack from the gigantic snake, the Demonic Ice Ape reacted swiftly. Struggling, the muscles on his right arm bulged to the limit until he broke free from the water binding, using this freehand he punched the air and with this move, a burst of gales erupted, took up a physical shape, and ripped the water blades into shreds. But it was a pity that… the gigantic snake wasn't his only enemy.
From his hiding place, Alex fired a Phantom Bullet toward the Demonic Ice Ape.
Boom!
Just as the Ape repulsed the snake attack, a loud explosion sounded all of a sudden.
The invisible bullet struck the chest of the Ape like a hammer make him stagger on his feet. The Demonic Ice Ape roared not because of pain but because he knew the culprit behind this attack.
How dare he, a lowly bug sneak attack him while he was fighting against this noisy snake? Unforgivable, he must catch the bug and crush him. Not only this bug played him and forced him into his current predicament, but he also hides and sneaks attack him from afar. How despicable.
''Rooarr!"
The Demonic Ice Ape let out a loud bellow before headbutting the gigantic snake.
Boom!
Having not expected such a move, the gigantic snake whose name and level is [Gydra's Snake Level 72] was momentarily stunned thus losing control of the water-binding the Demonic Ice Ape.
And how could the Demonic Ice Ape let go of such occasion? The moment his other arm was free, he caught the jaw of the monster and bashed it against the surface of the lake.
Boom!
The strike was so strong that the lake was parted in two revealing what was in the depth of the lake, countless monsters' bones.
Even though he had successfully managed to attack the Gydra's Snake, the Demonic Ice Ape was happy at all, he felt that something was amiss. The feeling of extreme danger assaulted him, he wanted to jump out of the lake, however, it already too late.
From behind the Demonic Ice Ape, a thick long tail could be seen. It was the Gydra's Snake tail.
Whoosh!
Boom!
The snake's tail strikes the Demonic Ice Ape's unguarded back. The lake got divided into two again, creating a tsunami.
Seeing the water come in his direction, Alex quickly changed his hiding place and continued to watch the fight.
The moment the Gydra's snake sneak attacked the Demonic Ice Ape from behind and forced him into the lake face first, the snake hissed before wrapping its tail against the fallen ape's leg and tried to bite down the ape.
However, the Demonic Ice Ape reacted quickly, before the snake's jaw could bite him he sent an uppercut toward it.
Bang!
The snake hissed in pain, undoing the snake's tail wrapped around his leg, the Demonic Ice Ape took hold of it before starting to spin, after rotating on himself several times, the ape launched the gigantic snake body into the air.
The Demonic Ice Ape wasn't done yet,
''Roarr!"
Roaring furiously, the Demonic Ice Ape beat his chest like a King Kong before jumping high into the air. It was thirty meters jump.
Alex's eyes widened in a stupor when he saw that the monster could jump so high.
After performing such a high jump, the Demonic Ice Ape appeared above the flying Gydra's snake before joining his two hands together and used them as a hammer to strike the snake toward the ground.
Bang!
Kabooooom!
Like a rocket, the Gydra's snake was launched from the sky toward the ground and crashed against it.
A five meters deep crater was created. The remaining water inside the lake was evaporated.
An ice-cold chill ran up Alex's spine like an electrical current.
'No good. I must flee.' He decided.
After the Demonic Ice Ape strikes Gydra's snake, still free-falling he looked in Alex's direction and extended his hands, two meters long Wind spear was created.
And as he was about to throw the spear at Alex, the Demonic Ice Ape expression abruptly changed because the Gydra's snake hissed before dozen water spears were launched at the Ape.
Clank! Clank!!!
Using the wind spear, the Demonic Ice Ape deflected the incoming water spears.
Alex who just managed to safely escape heaved a sigh of relief. He hadn't thought that the ape would still target him even while fighting against the Gydra's snake.
Shaking his head Alex focused his attention ahead, he saw that the Gydra's snake was injured, few of his scales had fallen off.
'I guess, the ape is stronger. I was hoping for mutual destruction though.' Alex murmured before his expression abruptly changed.
The Gydra's snake kept launching water spear after water spear while the Ape deflected them using the wind spear in his hand.
However, in the next attack, instead of only spitting water spears, the Guydra's Snake spurt another thing, it was poison.
The Demonic Ice Ape was caught unprepared, when the poison landed on the ape's arm, it let out a burning sound before that arm started to rot. The Demonic Ice Ape roared in pain and tried to retaliate.
It was at that moment, the Gydra's snake activated its domain, the water remaining in the lake was shot into the sky before transforming into thousand small water spears. These water spears were pointed at the Demonic Ice Ape.
Sensing his doom, the Demonic Ice Ape used his special ability to teleport from where he was before the water spears strike.
However, just as he reappeared, the water spears that should have been obliterated after striking the empty ground appeared right before him. It was already too late to dodge, the Demonic Ice Ape punched the incoming spears to oblivion.
While doing such a thing, his focus was momentarily drawn elsewhere, therefore the Guydra's Snake chose that time to strike.
Appearing in the Demonic Ice Ape back, the Guydra's Snake opened its enormous maw and tried to bite off the ape's head.
It happened at that moment, the Demonic Ice Ape whose attention should be focused ahead abruptly spun around and sent a punch straight into the snake's mouth.
Alex was flabbergasted by the Demonic Ice Ape action, so was the snake.
However, the next moment after closing his maw, the snake's expression changed.
The Demonic Ice Ape arm (he used the one that was rotting) exploded inside the mouth of the Guydra's Snake. The latter head exploded into pieces.
Boom!
The explosion sends the Demonic Ice Ape crashing back, he vomited a mouthful of blood and struggled to get on his feet with his remaining arm. He knew he must quickly escape or that despicable human wouldn't let this chance go. Using his injured arm covered by the wind element, he detonated it to kill the snake, it was a huge sacrifice. If he had not done this, he would be gravely injured, worst he may lose his life.
Once on his feet, the Demonic Ice Ape scanned his surrounding in search of Alex, unfortunately, he wasn't able to locate him no matter how many he tried.
Frustrated, the Demonic Ice Ape could only drop the matter for the moment. He vowed to take revenge on the despicable human after recuperating.
Alex who hides his presence thank Vanishing Bullet moved.
Like a cheetah, he appeared in front of the injured Ape.
The Demonic Ice Ape was surprised at first before his surprise turned into anger and he bellowed while raising his remaining arm to quash this damned bug into a meat patty.
However, just as his arm was about to strike Alex it stopped. The Demonic Ice Ape couldn't move a muscle, he started trembling uncontrollably under Alex's death eye.
Grinning Alex aimed the silver muzzle at the head of the Demonic Ice Ape and said.
''It's checkmate.''
''Phantom Bullet''
Bang!
The head of the Demonic Ice Ape was burst open by the invisible bullet. Until the end, the Demonic Ice Ape wasn't able to understand why he died so easily. He may have been weakened, but it wasn't to the extent to die like this.
Bang!
Alex fell onto the ground while panting heavily. The feet he had just accomplished weren't easy as it seems. First, when he appeared in front of the Demonic Ice Ape he automatically activated his domain to suppress the Demonic Ice Ape, however, he knew he wouldn't be enough to take down the monster, therefore he combined his domain with death's eye. It was an experiment, an experiment that worked.
Under the combined might of Hell's sing and Death's eye, the Demonic Ice Ape froze, using this opportunity Alex quickly finished the monster.
Now that he killed the monster, he was extremely tired, the move he used earlier consume too much MP. His MP was almost drained.
''Well done. Not all fights can be won by using only strength, using your mind may be useful sometimes.'' Silveria who appeared and sat next to Alex said that.
