Chapter 8: The Henor Forest (2)
The hastily forged magic shield turned into countless points of light scattered in the wind under Karui's heavy blow, but it succeeded in hindering its attack, and Rhaegar quickly stepped back as he whispered a spell.
The futility of the blow made the enraged giant ape even more frenzied, and a series of violent roars came out of its throat, and Karui jumped from the spot again, his giant palm weighing more than 10,000 catties raised above his head, ready to fall on Rhaegar again.
At this moment, several thick vines suddenly burst out of the ground, like a predatory python, wrapped around Karui's hands and feet, and the huge pull dragged the giant ape from the air to the ground, and the next moment, several sharp ground thorns rushed out from the place where it was about to land.
As soon as the rapidly falling giant ape roared in the sky, a dazzling yellow light swirled around it, the same color as its hair, and as soon as it appeared, the vines that entwined Karui's hands and feet immediately turned into countless particles in the air like a pile of sand scattered by the wind, and when the great ape fell, all the ground thorns that touched it also fell to the same fate.
"Reverse the light of mana. A terrifying gleam flashed in Rhaeggar's eyes, and the great ape's performance forced him to re-evaluate the opponent's strength. Obviously, this powerful and agile monkey has extraordinary resistance to magical attacks, coupled with the anti-demon light around its body that can be used once a day for at least half an hour each time, and can resist all magical damage below the ninth order, this is undoubtedly an opponent that all mages do not want to encounter.
Two black flames quietly appeared on Rhaeggar's hands, and the next moment, Rhaegar clenched his hands into fists deftly dodged the giant ape's attack, approached Karui's body in an instant, smashed his fist on his body before his opponent could return his hand, and then quickly retreated.
This method of concentrating the Judgment Divine Fire on a certain part of the battle was something that Rhaegar had figured out during his years of wandering, and although it was less powerful, it was a little more flexible than before, and more importantly, it had a much smaller load on the body than before, and the duration was greatly extended.
The black flame of judgment was firmly attached to Karu's body like a leech that had bitten its prey, and the flames that could burn everything did not spread to the surrounding area, but continued to seep into the depths of the area, and the scorching heat ruthlessly destroyed all the tissues it encountered, causing the great ape to sink into the bone marrow.
This level of damage was not enough to kill Karui for the time being, and the severe pain further aroused the ferocity of the giant ape, and the giant ape, surrounded by the light of the Rebellion, let out a thunderous roar, like a giant palm with ten daggers growing wildly, and pressed down on the opponent who had injured it like a mountain of palms.
In front of the giant ape, the tall Rhaegar seems to be a child fighting with a big man, but the difference in size does not mean strength, the memory from the God of Judgment and the years of training make Rhaegard's martial arts skills enough to challenge any excellent warrior, maybe the strength of this body is not as strong as the giant ape, but in terms of skill and speed, the gap between the two is just inversely proportional to the size of the body.
A few minutes later, as he was hit by Rhaeggar's fist, Karui was burning with at least ** black flames, the first of which had broken through the skin and muscles of the great ape, and began to incinerate its internal organs and bones. Under such damage, Karui finally lost his mind, and he frantically waved his claws, taking everything he came across as a target, completely forgetting his real enemy.
Rhaeggar's body leaped slightly, deftly dodging Karui's frenzied swings, and after half a second, he reached the top of the great ape's head, and the next moment, the fist wrapped in black judgment fire slammed into his opponent's head.
The fatal blow brought the great ape to its senses in the moment before it lost its life, and with a lot of rage, it fiercely delivered its final blow to Rhaeggar.
Before the terrifying blow of the Great Ape, Rhaegar's body, which had been jumping and tumbling in the air with ease, suddenly came to a halt for a moment - for anyone, Rhaegar would be a little tired after performing this series of near-extreme activities in a row, and Rhaegar was no exception, but on the battlefield, this brief low state was enough to defeat anyone.
The blow that concentrated almost all of Karui's power landed on Rhaegar accurately, and the geist's body, which was extremely tall for a mortal, flew into the distance like a projectile thrown by a trebuchet, and then fell heavily into the grass.
Half a minute later, a small body popped out of the bushes not far from the battlefield between the great ape and Rhaeggar, a creature that resembled a dwarf, but was even smaller than a dwarf, its bare and hairless skin changing color as it moved, and even during activity, it was difficult to distinguish it from its surroundings with eyesight.
This is a Kekgarn, a creature from somewhere in the middle realm parallel to the mortal world, they have an innate ability to change color, and can assimilate all their life activities, including soul fluctuations, to the plants in the place where they are located, and in the jungle, these creatures are the best lurkers, even a mage like Rhaegar can hardly detect their existence.
Cunning and caution are another trait of Kekgarn, who often use misunderstandings to provoke other creatures to kill each other and reap the benefits, just as they did with Karui and Rhaeggar.
The diminutive monster did not immediately approach the corpse of Karui who fell to the ground, and after careful observation, it once again emitted the same dark red light from the palm of its hand as before, this light was not enough to hurt a behemoth like Xiang Giant Ape, but it could completely make it painful, if the other party did not really die, it would definitely react under such an attack.
The ray struck the ape's head, and Karui showed no signs of moving, proving that the life force had moved away from the monster, and it was certainly a cause for celebration for Kekgarn, the little monster dancing and jumping and letting out a series of high-pitched screams.
A rustling sound came from the dense vegetation around them, quickly approaching the location of the kkegarn, and a moment later, about a dozen identical kkgahn appeared in front of the first companion, and then, under the command of the first kkgahn, all the little monsters jumped onto the body of the great ape, carefully avoiding the black flames that were still burning on the latter's body, and dismantled their prey with the sharp claws that popped out of their fingers.
These monsters apparently had a deep understanding of how to dismantle creatures, and with the help of dagger claws, they quickly turned the giant ape into several pieces. In the process, a small monster accidentally touched a black fire, and its arm immediately turned to ashes, but its companions did not treat it, but disintegrated it with the giant ape at the first time.
After stripping away the parts surrounded by flames, the little monsters each picked up one of the remaining pieces, including their disintegrated companions—the pieces of flesh even larger than their bodies didn't seem to be a burden to them—and happily disappeared into the bushes.
The whole time, these Kekgarn didn't notice it, just in the canopy not far above their heads, a pair of eyes with a cold light were staring at them.
For Rhaegar, who had applied protective magic, Karui's final blow did not really hurt him, and his so-called knocking away was actually an illusion, after flying dozens of meters away with the power of the giant ape and falling to the ground, the geist quickly used the stealth skill inherited from memory to return to the original battlefield, and when he arrived, it was when the first Kekgarn gathered his companions.
Rhaegar never forgot the cause of his battle with the Great Ape, and the geist was always very wary of the creatures that could evade his own detection and deliberately provoke the battle, and he had already made a decision at the beginning of the battle that the battle would end with the defeat of the Great Ape in order to lure out those opponents who were hiding in the shadows - and Rhaegar proved to be the right one.
After all the Kekgarn had walked away, Rhaegar landed lightly to the ground, just now, without the little monsters noticing, he had managed to apply magic marks to them, and all he had to do was to track them from afar, and then find the lair of those monsters - these lurking monsters were the biggest threat he had encountered in Henorr so far, and Rhaegar had to deal with them as soon as possible for his future safety.
Kekgarn is a creature known for its prudence, and after reaping a bountiful prey, they do not immediately rush back to their lair, on the contrary, after a while of traveling, these little monsters suddenly split into several strands and ran in different directions. If someone tries to track them, they will be at a loss, and if they delay a little, these highly disguised monsters will disappear without a trace.
However, this method did not have the slightest effect on Rhaegar, he did not need to follow the other party, and, in the memory of the God of Judgment, there was a way to deal with this strategy, and in the following journey, the geist kept his eyes on the first to appear Kekgarn, and with the help of magic marks, firmly grasped the other party's movements.
After twenty minutes, the scattered Kkegarn finally came together again, their size was destined to make these little monsters not strong enough to walk for a long time under heavy loads, and after this rendezvous, the Kkgarn did not use any more tricks and rushed directly to their lair.
As in his homeland, Kkegarn built his lair on a tall tree, which was undoubtedly a very clever choice in Henorr - under the influence of that mysterious force, except for those small insects that could only fly at low altitudes, no creature in this forest could fly off the ground, and the trees chosen by Kkgarn were all straight and towering, at least a few dozen meters above the ground, a height sufficient to ensure that the vast majority of unskilled predators were helpless against them.
