"Well then, this should be interesting.." Leo muttered in amusent as we both focused on the confrontation below...
The mont Malachi’s roar went out, the entire mood flipped.
The fear and worry and uncertainty that my rampage had brought, all of it seed to have been deleted from the monkeys’ psyches, the only thing they seed to have heard? Malachi’s challenge...
A wave of malevolent auras washed over the plain as each of the standing heirs let their presence out..
Liana, the Morningstar girl, had retreated, the shaless lankesh monks that had made it up, were also gearing up for the challenge.
Outside forces, those who wanted a hand in this monkey pie, they all slowly began preparing themselves, but the attention, undeniably, was on the seven heirs currently in a stare down..
The red furred Conan had regained his composure, his expression once again turning indifferent..
The iron furred ferrus’ fur had turned a slick silver sheen..
The electrifying Raikor looked monts away from breaking the deadlock as blue arcs of electricity danced across his fur..
The others, the pointy toothed ashfang, the dagger clawed moonclaw, and the blue furred skybreaker heirs all took their combat stances.
Each of them releasing an aura not lower than the S-rank or First transformation stages, with the likes of Ferrus, Raikor and Conan, already in the SS-ranks.
Malachi himself, despite currently towering over everyone in his twenty foot transford state, was only an A-rank mortal, the odds were still heavily stacked against him.
Yet the mont I saw the crazed and battle lusted expression on his face, I knew these odds were nothing more than pure dopamine to the twenty foot monkey.
A solemn silence fell upon the entire area, Elira’s form materialized underneath as I sat, focus unbroken, waiting, waiting for that string that had been drawn taut, to snap, and I didn’t have to wait long...
CRACKLE!!!!
The crackling sound of electricity sounded out as the jittery figure of Raikor launched towards the steely Ferrus, his move sending the entire place into pure chaos...
BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!
The plain shook violently as a plethora of abilities were launched at the sa ti..
Fireballs spanning tens of ters in diater, frozen winds blowing through the lands, freezing any weak souls unfortunate enough to get caught up in their paths, monkeys punching literal shockwaves into the air as the whole place beca a landscape of pandemonium...
But nothing, absolutely nothing, could compare to the clash that had finally ensued between the seven heirs...
ROOOOOARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
Malachi’s deafening roar sounded out as the giant monkey bounded towards the sky, his now reddened staff materializing in his grasp as the thing grew and expanded...
"KAAAAAIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!"
Swoooooooshhhhhh!!!!
Swinging the massive staff down, the air exploded as the heavy object descended with violent force!
"SMASSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
BBBOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!
The hardened stone of the statue exploded into debris and rocks as the monkey landed, the figures of the ashfang, skybreaker and moonclaw heirs getting blasted backward..
Wasting no ti, the ape launched forward, staff swinging as he aid a devasting strike at the head of the currently reeling ashfang heir...
"Damn it!!!" The young sharp toothed ape roared, stretching forth his arms as a bone like staff materialized within them, he righted himself, just as Malachi’s figure appeared before him, swinging his own staff with all his might...
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!
A shockwave spread from between them as the two collided in devastating impact....
"You puny, arrogant fool!!... you think you can contend with just because you’re bigger?????" The ashfang heir roared, eyes flashing a brilliant erald hue as his staff began growing as well...
"Heh!" Malachi sneered as,
WOOOOOSHHHHHH!!!!!!
The air beside the ashfang heir exploded...
"What...?"
BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!
Cracccckkkkkk!!!!
A deafening explosion followed by the unmistakable sounds of bones shattering rang out as another massive crimson furred giant ape appeared beside where the ashfang heir had been standing...
"Heh! I guess it’s ti to jump so delusional fools.."
The newly appeared clone smirked, Malachi’s expression mirroring it, as they both launched themselves towards the currently flying figure of the ashfang heir...
"Mountain Burial Impact!!" Both figures roared as they swung their enlarged staves downward, gravity getting heavier the lower the staves descended.
"DONT YOU DARE UNDERESTIMATE !!!!!" The ashfang heir roared! His aura pouring out wildly as his own staff grew,
"HEAVEN REACHING STAFF!!!" The weapon swinging upwards in a devastating montum.
The mont all three strikes collided...
CRACKK....BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A cataclysmic shockwave spread through the entire surroundings, blasting unfortunate figures directly off the statue’s peak, disrupting the other battles going on as everyone imdiately took defensive asures....
"ROOOOOOARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!" Both Malachi’s figures roared Valiantly as the dust slowly cleared, the crushed figure of the ashfang heir coming into view.
Ultimately, a single move had been unable to stop or even prevent the gravity backed devastation that Malachi had wrought...
BOOOM!!!!
The ape bounded once, appearing before the mashed piece of flesh, picking it up and then..
CRUNCH!!!!
Shoving it into his widened mouth, chewing with mad glee on his face..
Gulp~~
The sounds of swallowing echoed within the eerie silence that enveloped the place..
Malachi’s face lit up as he felt the energy packed bloodline of the Ashfang heir wash through his body, purifying his own bloodline even further as his aura deepened considerably...
The battle had begun less than a minute ago, yet, an heir had already fallen, and it wasn’t the one people thought the weakest..
Even Conan, Ferrus and Raikor, the three most powerful of the heirs currently engaged in their own battles, stopped, as they reconsidered their opinions on the young stoneborn heir.
Their faces turning solemn as they slowly realized why their elders had warned them to beware of the stoneborn..
Malachi grinned savagely, pieces of flesh and bones still stuck within his teeth, his aura becoming more and more feral, as his eyes trained towards the figures of the clashing Moonclaw and Skybreaker heirs...
"YOU’RE NEXT..." the ape smiled, the two heirs readied their stances and then...
BOOOOMMMMM!!!
His figure was launched skywards, his clone following soon after as they both arrived at an altitude no lower than mine.
The monkey looked at ,
"Watch.. This.."
He grinned and then,
"MONKEY KING’S WRATHFALL!!!!"
His voice echoed like judgent from the heavens as both he and his clone descended like wrathful cots, their figures tearing through the skies...
"Shit!!!!!"
"The monkey has gone crazy!!!!!!"
"Everyone, protect yourselves...!!!"
"Protect yourself???? RUNNNNN!!!!"
Those below instantly panicked as they felt the force with which the monkeys were descending...
They were still skyborn, Yet the earth was already fracturing, fissures spreading like leylines that foretold a disaster in the making.....
SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!
The sound of the air tearing apart reached the ears of those below like a final nail in their taphorical and soon to be literal coffins...
"FUCK!!!!!"
"DONT YOU DARE MOCK !!!!!"
Both the Skybreaker and Moonclaw heirs, the main targets of Malachi’s furious attack, readied themselves, staves glowing and growing as they both swung upwards...
"SKYBREAKING STAFF!!!!!!"
"MOON PIERCING STRIKE!!!!!"
Both attacks launched upwards in furious montum as they aid at halting or slowing the montum of the descending ape and his clone.
They’d seen what happened to the ashfang heir earlier, and although it was brutal, it was because the ashfang was fighting one against two, and the monkey was still fresh.
They didn’t believe he could still unleash another catastrophic attack like that one again.
Especially not when there were two of them defending.
After all, two heads were better than one, right??
WRONG!
The mont both attacks collided, the world went silent for a heartbeat, before it broke...
CRAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The entire surface of the massive statue first cracked and shattered before the attacks even t.
But when they did.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!
The entire thing exploded as the gigantic head of the monkey king’s statue exploded into fragnts of rock and debris....
Those that had yet to retreat from the attack’s range, the unfortunate ones were obliterated from existence instantly, becoming nothing but blood mist, as for the more fortunate ones, they only got off with a few limbs being ripped to shreds..
The figures of both the Skybreaker and Moonclaw Heir being brought down from the impossible height by Malachi’s still descending staff, until...
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!
They made contact with the floor, shattering it completely and creating a crater that spanned more than a kiloter wide....
DUM.. DUM.. DUM...
ROOOOOOOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The savage and domineering roar of Malachi sounded out of the massive crater as the monkey jumped, figure tearing through the massive cloud of dust that had risen from their impact with the ground...
In his grasp, the disfigured bodies of the two heirs.
THUD!!!
Landing heavily, the monkey looked up, at the descending figures of the other participants, specifically the last three remaining heirs.
His grin widened as he stretched his jaws wide, shoving the now at looking figures into his mouth..
CRUNCH!!!
CRUNCH!!!
The jarring sounds of chewing echoed in the harrowing silence..
Everyone looking on in dread and mounting horror as the massive ape chewed on the bodies of First stage Transformation experts like they were re snacks..
The already heavy aura of the massive ape deepened, his form growing larger as he beca a massive twenty five foot red giant..
GULP~~~
The gulping sound landed like a stone in he hearts of many as more than a few instantly distanced themselves from the ape.
The only ones still there being those sent as support for the three heirs that currently had solemn expressions on their faces.
Even the suit wearing Conan had wiped the condescension from his face..
In less than five minutes of confrontation, an A-rank mortal had defeated Three S-rank transformation stage experts, feasting on their bodies like they were snacks...
"Never, Never ever underestimate the stoneborn, they have been the ones to hold the title of kings for an untold number of eras, the fact that the current heir looks weak, is no reason to underestimate them.."
"For stoneborns, they’re the true and only royalty, only in battle will you truly realize the horrors of facing one, so I repeat, never you underestimate one!"
The words of their elders once again echoed within their heads as they finally, FINALLY! Readied themselves to confront this abomination of an ape before them...
The battle for the crown finally entering its last stretches....
