Chapter 40 Fighting Against White Ape

"Human, how dare you injure my son!" a huge White Ape rushed toward Ace when he saw Ace attacking his son.

His eyes were filled with the flames of fury as he dashed toward Ace.

He was furious.

He was enraged because Ace dared to injure his son.

Scarlett, who was sitting on a tree trunk, turned her head toward the source of the sound.

'White Ape?!'

She threw the grilled fish and jumped down from the tree trunk.

"Ace!" she shouted worriedly.

'I should shift the White Ape's attention to me.'

With that idea in mind, she shot an arrow at the White Ape.

She wanted to shift the White Ape's attention to her because Ace could not defeat it.

The White Ape was a 3-star magical beast while Ace was only at Novice rank, so there was only one outcome if the White Ape attacked him.

Death!

This was the reason why she shot an arrow at the White Ape immediately.

The White Ape stopped running and caught the arrow. The anger in his heart grew bigger because Scarlett launched a surprise attack.

The White Ape turned its head toward her after breaking the arrow. "HUMAN!"

At first, the White Ape wanted to attack Scarlett, but he changed his mind when he remembered his son.

Ace was startled when he saw the huge White Ape.

'Danger!'

He stopped fighting the little White Ape and put some distance between them.

The small White Ape rushed toward its father. "Ack…Ack…Ack…"

The small White Ape could not speak like his father because he was only a 1-star magical beast.

Magical beasts would only gain intelligence when they broke through to 3-star. For this reason, only magical beasts at 3-star or above could speak human language.

The small White Ape instantly hugged his father's leg.

When the huge White Ape saw the wounds on his son's body, he looked at Ace and roared. "ROOAARR."

Ace instantly clutched his ears.

'My ears hurt!'

The roar of the White Ape struck Ace's ears like a wall of pain.

Even though the roar of the White Ape was not as terrifying as the Winged Tiger's roar, but it still hurt his ears.

Ace was only at Novice rank, so his body could not endure its roar.

"Ace!" Scarlett rushed towards him.

She was not affected by the White Ape's roar because they were at the same level.

"Human, I will kill you!" the White Ape rushed toward Ace, intending to kill him.

Scarlett immediately took two arrows and shot them at the White Ape.

Twin Shot!

She used Twin Shot skill.

Like its name, Twin Shot skill was a skill that shoots two arrows at the same time.

"Ace, be careful!" after shouting, Scarlett fired another arrow.

Ace put some distance between himself and the huge White Ape.

'System, analyze that White Ape.'

The system instantly analyzed the White Ape.

----

Ace gritted his teeth.

'This is troublesome!'

He did not expect to get into trouble when he was fighting a 1-star magical beast.

[Ding! Nothing is impossible. Even the weak can kill the strong. Kill the White Ape and his son, and you will be rewarded randomly.]

Ace ignored the notification.

At this moment, the White Ape was attacking Scarlett because she kept disturbing him from killing Ace.

*Shui…

Scarlett leaped to the left and right.

She also fired an arrow when she was in mid-air.

'This White Ape is annoying!'

She was unhappy because the White Ape always managed to block or avoid her arrow.

"Human, die!" the White Ape attacked Scarlett with its four arms.

Like before, she avoided the White Ape's attacks by jumping to the left and right.

*Boom…Boom…Boom…

A loud sound reverberated in the entire area.

The White Ape Punch hit the ground because Scarlett managed to dodge his attack.

"ROOOAAARRR." The White Ape roared angrily.

Ace, who was watching them, clenched his fists.

He was unhappy because he could not do anything. He could be killed instantly if he got close to the White Ape.

'What should I do?'

At this moment, he remembered something.

He could use magic!

Sure, he only knew two magics, but it could help Scarlett.

'I hope her affection is still above 60 percent.'

He instantly checked Evelyn's affection parameter.

'Good. Her affection parameter is still 90 percent.'

He was pleased because Evelyn's affection parameter did not drop even 1 percent.

'System, activate the binding partner mode. Target: Evelyn.'

There was a reason why he decided to use binding partner mode.

He wanted to raise his Mana Capacity level!

[Ding! Binding partner mode activated! Target: Evelyn.]

Ace's Mana Capacity level instantly went up from level 15 to level 20.

He raised his right hand forward before finally chanting a magic spell. He could finish the chant because the small White Ape did not disturb him.

"Ice Chain." He decided to use Ice Chain magic.

A giant magic circle suddenly appeared under the White Ape's feet.

The White Ape noticed the magic circle under his feet, but it was already too late when he wanted to avoid it because two ice chains suddenly shot out of the magic circle and bound his body.

"ROOAAARRR." The White Ape roared angrily.

Scarlett, who saw a good chance to attack the White Ape, instantly used her skill.

Arrow Shower!

She shot an arrow into the sky.

The arrow suddenly split in two in the air. Two became four, and four turned into eight.

In a short amount of time, the sky was covered by countless arrows, as if the God of Archer wanted to destroy the world.

"ROOAAARRR." The White Ape roared as he was showered with countless arrows.

Head, arms, legs, chest; almost every part of its body was hit by the arrow.

The White Ape now became the Red Ape because the blood flowing from his wounds changed the color of his fur.

"HUMANNNNN." After breaking the ice chain, he pulled out four trees.

Each hand held a tree.

His intention was clear.

He wanted to use these four trees as his weapons!

In other words, he wanted to use these trees as his sticks!

The White Ape rushed toward Ace because Ace was the reason why he got injured. "Die, human!"

Ace instantly jumped to the left, avoiding the attack.

He tried his best to keep some distance between them because he knew what would happen to him if he was close to the White Ape.

"Ace!" Scarlett fired an arrow at the White Ape.

Boom!

The arrow created a small explosion when it came in contact with the White Ape's body.

She was using Magic Arrow skill.

Magic Arrow skill was one of the skills she was proud of because this skill had saved her life several times.

The White Ape turned around and rushed toward her. Even though blood kept coming out of his wounds, he did not care about it.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Scarlett kept using Magic Arrow skill.

However, the White Ape could block her arrow this time.

He used the tree in his hands to block the arrow because he knew the arrow could create a small explosion.

The White Ape kept swinging the tree in its hands. At that time, what he had in mind was only one thing.

Kill Scarlett!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

At first, Scarlett could avoid the White Ape's attacks.

However, it did not last long before she finally got hit by the White Ape's attack.

*Uakk…

Blood splashed out of her mouth.

Scarlett was thrown ten meters from where she was before finally crashing into a tree and falling to the ground.

The White Ape used its four arms to attack her, so it was hard to avoid all of his attacks continuously.

"Scarlett!" Ace used his Thunderbolt magic, but it did not injure the White Ape.

The tables had turned.

Now the White Ape had the upper hand in the fight.

If previously Scarlett managed to land an attack on the White Ape's body a few times, now she got hit by the White Ape's attack several times.

Ace was currently thinking of ways to kill the White Ape.

'What should we do?'

He finally knew what to do after seeing the small White Ape.

'Yes. I will use this method!'
