27 The Ceremony

'Battle apes', they were closer to monsters than animals in ferocity, as they had already tapped into their potential.

'Attributes', one could harness the power of elements according to their personal attribute.

Take for example green furred apes, they had the natural attribute of wind, they could start training wind powers.

However, as their intelligence isn't advanced enough, they could barely use this power to enhance their bodily agility.

Red apes practised fire which granted them strength, while blue apes practised water which granted them vitality and strengthened their constitution.

But the Ape king was different, his attribute was null. So, although his intelligence was more developed than his fellow apes, he couldn't practise by himself.

He could never train in that way, let alone reach the stage of manifesting true elemental power. However, he used another way to perfect his corporeal body.

But, unfortunately, he hit his limit pretty early.

He decided that if he couldn't train in elemental power, he could use his null attribute in another way.

That was to train all his bodily stats using the help of the of the attributed battle apes.

He made them submit using brute strength, then used them as power cells to grow much stronger.

This way of ruling guaranteed him total submission. So, he was satisfied with himself.

Today was the day of the monthly ceremony, where he devoured the power of the apes with the most attainment in their attribute cultivation.

However, he didn't know that he would meet his demise in such a happy occasion.

After warming up with a set of sword training, I headed to the tallest tree in the forest, that was where the ape king left.

Fighting him was a reckless move, but for some reason I suppressed this thought as soon as it emerged in my mind.

I readied myself up while checking that there were not much apes around, as the title's effect was working properly.

But then, I spotted the Ape king under the tree sitting in a strange position.

He was standing on one leg, while his other three limbs seemed to be attached to three smaller apes.

Only when looked closely did I get a hunch of what was happening.

The Ape king was supposedly a black furred ape, however, he was currently colored in a mix of red, blue, and green colors. It looked pretty chaotic.

On the other hands, the fur of the smaller apes who were supposedly colored in individual red, blue and green started losing its colour and fading.

Their fur was starting to turn white!

This phenomena was awkwardly strange, 'although I read lots of books my knowledge was still undeniably shallow, or else I would have understood what was happening'

'Sigh'.....

I lamnted my lack of ability as I thought about it.

However, Although I couldn't find an answer to this, I was able to ascertain something.

The Ape king was fully concentrating on whatever he was doing. So, if I wanted to gain the upper hand or at least lower the fatality and danger in this fight, then this was my chance!
