Chapter 281 - Frustrated Henrick

In the minor ghost world,

'Slash'

'Puchi'

'Huh huf'

In the minor ghost world, Henrick gave one powerful slash with the gigantic demon blade killing more than 30 ambush ghosts in a single attack.

However, he was breathing heavily because he was fighting for more than a couple of hours after sending back the fire vine into his dantian. without any break.

After fighting for more than a couple of hours, Henrick got used to killing the ambush ghosts and learned quite a few tricks to kill more ambush ghosts in a single attack.

'Let's see how the trial progress is after spending more than two hours in killing these cowards.'

Soon, Henrick decided to take a break as he thought of checking the trial progress.

'Ding,

Trial progress:- 

1) Killed 3000/ 1000 rank 1 ambush ghosts.

2) Killed 500 / 100 rank 2 ambush ghosts.

3) Killed 5 / 10 rank 3 ambush ghosts.

4) Killed 0 / 1 rank 4 ambush ghost.

'What?'

Henrick was shocked to see the trial progress in front of him because there was not much change in the third task even after killing the ambush ghosts for more than two hours.

'System, are you kidding me? I killed more than 2000 ambush ghosts and among them, there were only two rank 3 ambush ghosts?'

Henrick had a hard time believing in the system's data for the first time after he received the system.

Who can blame Henrick for not believing the data because he was nearly exhausted from killing the ambush ghosts for the last two hours?

'Ding,

Master, whenever you attack, the rank 3 ambush ghosts are the first ones to escape from that place. So, the kill count for the rank 1 and rank 2 ambush ghosts increased very much when compared to the rank 3 ambush ghosts' kill count.

'Sigh'

Seeing the system notification, Henrick could not help but sigh as he asked, 'System, is there any way I could differentiate between the ambush ghosts.'

Finally, Henrick understood one thing after spending nearly four hours in the minor ghost world that it would take so much time to kill rank 3 ambush ghosts through his earlier method.

So, he asked the system to help to differentiate the ambush ghosts from rank 1 to rank 3.

'Ding,

Master, it can only be learned through the experience of killing the ambush ghosts.

'Ding,

The more you kill the ambush ghosts, the more you could differentiate them.

'What?'

Looking at the two system notifications, Henrick frowned as he shook his head.

'Fine, I will use the raw strength to find out.'

Even though Henrick said those words, deep inside his heart, Henriick muttered, 'I have to focus on the ambush ghosts; instead of focusing on killing them.'

'Before that, I have to take a break.'

Nevertheless, he didn't forget to take a small break because he was fighting for a couple of hours without a break.

…..

In the beast mountain,

Soon, the old man Fionk finished explaining what happened after he had a conversation with the Celestial monkey king.

That's right!

This was not the first time the old man Fionk was having a conversation with the Celestial monkey king.

However, previously, the Celestial monkey king didn't transform into his true form and spoke normally.

"I see."

After hearing everything that the old man Fionk had said, the Celestial monkey king nodded his head.

"Celestial monkey king, can I ask you something?"

After some hesitation, the old man Fionk mustered his courage and asked the Celestial monkey king.

"Haha...you can."

Seeing how hard the old man Fionk was trying to ask him something, the Celestial monkey king gave permission to him while letting out a small laugh.

"Why did you transform now? According to the plan, you should only transform after the baby fire monkey reaches the peak rank 6, right?"

Even though the old man Fionk was looking brave, it was very easy for the Celestial monkey king to see how afraid the old man Fionk was.

"It is because of you."

With a mysterious look on his face, the Celestial monkey king replied to the old man Fionk.

"Me?"

The old man Fionk was surprised as he asked the Celestial monkey king while pointing his fingers at himself.

"Yes. I have set a trigger that when you say 'You have to become the immortal beast' to me, I will appear."

Soon, the Celestial monkey king explained with a serious look on his face as he continued, "By the way, it only works for the first time. So, don't bother calling me while using that line again."

"Sorry, Celestial monkey king. I was just joking earlier. Please forgive me."

As soon as he heard the Celestial monkey king's words, the old man Fionk became anxious and hurriedly apologized.

Earlier, when he said those words, the old man was just joking with the baby fire monkey; however, who would have thought that it would summon the Celestial monkey king.

"There is no need to apologize to me. Even though you said jokingly, the baby fire monkey was quite worried about its master."

The Celestial monkey king shook his head while looking at the apologizing old man and continued to say, "So, you gave the right suggestion for him."

"Thank you, Celestial monkey king."

The old man Fionk was surprised and soon revealed an excited smile on his face and thanked the Celestial monkey king.

"Since you already gave the suggestion, help my reincarnated version to become the immortal beast within the shortest time."

Soon, the Celestial monkey king said those words that made the old man Fionk froze.

"Celestial monkey king, we are already a couple of months ahead of our planning. Aren't we taking things a little too fast?"

The old man Fionk was worried as he asked the Celestial monkey king with a face full of concern.

"If you feel like that, then find Henrick. My reincarnated version needs his master before going to that place."

As soon as he finished his words, the Celestial monkey king transformed back into the baby fire monkey.
