The manic evil ape grew more irrational under the intensified attack led by the team of six hunters. The fierce pain was soon exhausting him.
His pace—that had the power to shake the earth—became unsteady and slow. The strength the ape wielded gradually dwindled.
Fresh flood bled like a continuous running stream from the wounds on his neck and his right abdomen.
As he fought, the dark red liquid spilled to the ground, making a mess. The blood seemed to cover the ground thickly, and the shining red dazzled the eyes of the ape's six opponents. For a moment, their vision seemed to be hazed in red.
The six attacked the wounded ape once again—his former big, black body dripping of red blood now. His breathing withered down considerably.
The blood on the ground converged like a flowing river, but the ape kept roaring as if his life depended on it, a blend of anger and pain in the sound. He grew weaker and weaker, until finally his mouth opened agape but no sound came out. The evil ape's red eyes widened, holding a trace of unwillingness in them. He fell to the ground with a heavy thud as the ground reverberated as if a mountain had collapsed.
As he fell to the ground, he saw the female evil ape run in his direction. The ape tried to roar again, but he failed to make any sound. Slowly, his eyes closed.
The female ape rushed over, only to find her partner fall to the ground and die. Suddenly, she let out a high-pitched whine, grief consuming her insides. Her red eyes snapped wide open as she looked at the six offenders before bolting toward them.
Her huge black body, about two or three meters high, dashed over to them madly like a steel chariot.
She ignored the hunting team's slew of attacks, completely diving into a state of irrationality.
Fighting the female evil ape, the small team found that her strength was considerably lower compared to her male counterpart.
However, her desperate attacks were putting great pressure on them, leaving little time to react.
Her bulky body surged forward, surprising them with her great power. No matter who the female ape faced, the opponent found it hard to dodge the attack under the heightened force of her movements and rage.
Her irrational state of mind also had an impact on herself. It frequently exposed her body to her enemies without any sort of defense. Constantly, she was getting injured. In no time at all, she was bleeding all over.
But the female evil ape seemed not to notice the injuries. She made no move to defend herself, instead, she attacked the six of them even more desperately. She seemed to want to tear them into pieces, no matter what the cost she would pay.
Among the team members, William's skills were at the lowest. The martial arts he had cultivated focused on mere power, as a result of which he was relatively weak when it came to bodily movement.
When he faced the attacks of the female evil ape head-on, he could hardly dodge them. He had no line of defense, but he could attack with all force. However, his strength was lower than the evil ape's.
When his purple gold hammer hit her chest, he too
t. They both simultaneously stabbed their swords into the ape's ribs.
At once, the massive body of the ape turned slack like a punctured water bag as blood poured out from her body.
As the team took out their swords from the wounds, the ape's blood spilled over in several streams like a bunch of flying arrows, mixing with the scarlet blood of the already-dead male evil ape. The entire ground around was covered in red blood.
Even now, the female evil ape had not released her hold on Ralf. Ralf summoned all his strength to break away, but it was in vain. He could feel the ape squeeze the life out of him without pause.
Moments passed by and Ralf felt like he was nearly faint as the world started to dim in his vision. His surroundings seemed to grow silent but for the unmistakable sound of his scattering bones echoing in his ears. He had no idea how many of them were broken.
Fortunately, the evil ape became weaker and weaker as she lost blood incessantly. Her breath became light until it finally stopped.
The evil ape knelt to the ground slowly before it fell face-down, finally taking her last breath.
Relieved, Ralf somehow forced himself to forget the pain in his body and rolled aside on the ground swiftly, away from the evil ape's bondage.
The hunting team lapsed into a long silence. They looked at the bloodshed on the ground and the dead bodies of the two evil apes with unease swarming their thoughts. The terrible fight still lingered before their eyes vividly. Now that they had killed the evil apes, they could not utter a word.
"We finally killed the two apes!"
A crisp and joyful but slightly hoarse voice broke the pin-drop silence. It was Mindy who first found her tongue.
She helped William and George sit up. Ralf also struggled to stand up.
Three of the six hunters were seriously injured, but the Evil Ape Hunting Team had finally eliminated the two evil apes.
Undoubtedly, Austin, Marvin, and Ralf had been center-stage in this violent face-off with the apes. The other three assisted them in making the kills finally.
