NOVEL NEXT Chapter 181: Monkey Business
Rex quickly covered his body with his rock armor.
The monkey-like creature's hands with sharp nails were now covered in a blue glow and swiped at his neck.
Crack.
The fingers of the monkey-like creature with its blue glow plunged into his rock armor, and pieces of the rock cracked into pieces.
Rex tried to get it away from him, and he swung his arm at the monkey-like creature.
Thud.
His arm was stopped by the monkey-like creature with its other two hands.
The monkey-like creature pulled out its hands from Rex's neck and tried to stab into Rex's neck again.
But before it could do so, the monkey-like creature felt something was pulling its arms away from Rex, and it struggled to break free.
The monkey-like creature glanced around, trying to see who was grabbing onto its arms, but couldn't see anyone around.
"Gee! Gee!" It gave out a cry in pain when the pull on its arms didn't stop.
And the next moment, more pain could be felt as the monkey-like creature saw its arms being ripped out from its body.
Blood splattered and dripped onto the ground.
Rex made use of this opportunity, and he gave the monkey-like creature a headbutt.
Thud.
The impact from his headbutt caused the monkey-like creature to be stunned momentarily.
It was enough for Lukas to make his next move with his Shadow Wielder ability.
His shadow held onto the head of the monkey-like creature, and with a forceful pull, he ripped out the head of the monkey-like creature from its body.
Having gotten rid of the monkey-like creature, Rex turned his focus back to helping Emma.
He pulled his spiky rock whip, which was still wrapped around the arms of the monkey-like creature that was attacking Emma.
The tug from Rex's spiky rock whip gave Emma an opportunity to take in a deep breath and breathe out a cloud of red poison smoke right in the face of the monkey-like creature.
When the cloud of red poison smoke came into contact with the bright orange-colored monkey-like creature, the poison started to work its way through the fur and skin of the monkey-like creature.
Emma could see the fur and skin of the monkey-like creature was dissolved by the poison like metal.
The fruits must have given the monkey-like creature different abilities, she thought.
"Gee! Gee!" As the monkey-like creature screamed out in pain, Emma gave it a kick and sent the creature hurling away.
The monkey-like creature tumbled through the ground and stopped after it hit a tree.
It tried to get back up onto its feet, but it soon realized that it couldn't.
Its head and limbs were held on by something.
Lukas had used his Shadow Wielder ability to do so.
"Gee! Gee! Gee!"
As his shadow pulled, the monkey-like creature started screaming in its low, guttural voice.
It didn't do much, and soon the screams were muffled by the gasping of air mixed with bubbling sound when its head was slowly ripped out from its body.
Meanwhile, when Lukas was dealing with the monkey-like creatures attacking Rex and Emma, Harianto, who was standing next to Lukas, was also busy.
When Harianto saw two monkey-like creatures coming at them, he aimed his plasma cannon at the two monkey-like creatures.
These two monkey-like creatures, which were now a bright red color, had their bodies engulfed in bright flames the next moment.
They lunged towards Harianto like two cannonballs.
Bam!
Harianto fired his plasma cannon at the monkey-like creatures.
The monkey-like creatures seemed to be anticipating it, and they changed the direction of their flight towards Harianto.
One shot diagonally up above the air, and the other lunged downward towards the ground.
Both came at Harianto from two different heights next.
Whoosh.
Harianto shot out two mechanical snakes from his body armor at the two monkey-like creatures.
But the mechanical snakes could only coil onto the creatures for a few moments.
The high temperature from the flames fried and melted them down.
Harianto then tried to leap back to get away from them.
By now, Lukas was done with the monkey-like creatures attacking Emma and Rex, so when he saw what was happening, he quickly reacted.
Thud.
An ice wall rose and blocked the two monkey-like creatures in their path towards Harianto.
The two monkey-like creatures with their flames weren't able to get through the ice wall, only able to chip off and melt a little ice off it.
"Gee!" They gave out a cry in anger.
The flames engulfing their bodies became bigger, rising up to twice what it was.
The two monkey-like creatures turned their attention to Lukas.
Wham!
Riley, who was on the other side of Lukas, unleashed a lightning strike at the monkey-like creatures.
The lightning strike hit, causing an explosion.
However, it didn't do much damage, and the two monkey-like creatures stood with the flames shimmering for a moment.
Their flames burned brightly again when they got out of the shock from the lightning strike.
They turned toward Lukas.
But before they could attack him, chills surrounded them.
Ice crystals appeared in the surroundings.
Their flames shimmered.
And when they tried to get the flames burning brightly again, they couldn't.
All they felt was the cold.
Ice pillars rose from the ground, and the temperature turned subzero.
Their legs were caught in the ice pillars and froze into ice sticks.
"Gee!" They cried out and tried to get away.
With their feet stuck, they weren't able to do so.
Soon, the ice crept up slowly from their feet to their body.
The two monkey-like creatures knew they had no choice.
Crack.
Using their arms, they shattered their frozen legs into pieces.
It was in vain.
When they landed onto the ground, their bodies froze upon contact with the ice pillar and the ice covering the ground.
The ice palace slowly did its work, rising and finally forming into a grand palace made of ice.
"Gee!" The remaining eight monkey-like creatures shouted in anger at Lukas.
They turned and focused on him.
Seeing what Lukas had done, they had deemed Lukas to be their biggest threat.
Without any warning, these monkey-like creatures lunged at Lukas at the same time.
