Chapter 1414 - Raccoon Vs Apes
Chapter 1414 – Raccoon Vs Apes
The battles went on and Gwan's prayers weren't answered. There is only one beast that the apes managed to visit and the rest of the beasts were left to fend for themselves.
Even that bear was not exactly powerful as it was injured by the mantis. The apes came in time and saved it while they all ganged up and took some blows before killing the mantis.
Once again, everyone looked at the raccoon to see its reaction, and just like they expected, the raccoon sniffed in the air and moved forward without turning again as if it knew that the mantis is smashed into pieces that it is impossible to use it as an undead.
From both sides, the raccoon and its undead creatures are killing Gwan's beasts while the apes and the bear killed Grivon's beasts.
But both cases are moving forward differently because, in the raccoon's case, the strength is increasing as they moved.
The most it lost is that the body of the ape was destroyed a bit which makes it incredibly detrimental to fight at full strength, but the rest of the corpses that is collected as it moved forward are as good as new and for some reason, it kept one in its mouth.
Soon, it was the final stages of the battle. Nobody thought that the battles would go this quickly.
Of course, the reason is because of the Apes and the Raccoon.
Grivon's beasts managed to kill four beasts of Gwan and the apes along with the Bear are left there. But Gwan made much more damage by killing seven beasts and the remaining two are also injured even though they managed to escape.
Since Grivon hadn't given any particular instructions regarding this battle, the beasts only focused on either killing or saving themselves, they didn't really care about grouping up and fighting together.
Of course, the only instruction Grivon gave was for them to not harm each other.
Currently, from what they can see, the two injured beasts are hiding in two completely different corners while they are trying to heal from their injuries.
As for the raccoon, it is moving towards the group of the apes. The apes stopped in one area where they are also recuperating.
They fought too much. Even though most of the fights are five versus one. The beasts that Grivon brought are no joke. They managed to leave some serious injuries on the apes even in such a disadvantageous situation.
At this moment, Gwan knew that he has little chance of victory. They are very slim.
He will definitely win if the raccoon is not as strong when the five apes are fighting with it and the undead and since the remaining two beasts are gravely injured, he would have a really good chance to win.
He is really hoping that he would have some time for the apes to recover.
He almost wanted to go there and command the apes himself, but he knew it wouldn't be possible. The contract will act up if he did that and the natural elements wouldn't leave him alone.
Particularly, not when the person who made the oath, the manager is a lightning elemental user.
Even if he died, he knew that the experiences he would have to face right before he died are something he wouldn't even want to dream of.
As he was thinking of all the possibilities, he focused on the raccoon. The apes are good at tracking and the raccoon is kind of has a large entourage which is easier to notice.
So, the apes are able to notice the arrival and move around. They are shifting their base constantly as they moved around and recuperated.
But the raccoon is getting closer and closer with every move as it sniffed and identified the direction perfectly.
For some reason, every new base the apes shifted, the raccoon got more accurate and precise than the previous one and it is directing the undead creatures in a way that the apes are bound to be caught.
Within an hour, it managed to catch up and Gwan wished that the whole hour and more is enough for the apes to recover. But Grivon had a completely different expression. He had a smirk on his face and he seemed like he is looking forward to what is about to happen.
The raccoon appeared in front of the apes and the undead creatures surrounded the five apes as they brandished the weapons getting ready to fight.
But the calm raccoon made sure that it doesn't need to directly act and left all the attacking to the undead creatures that it collected which changed all of a sudden as it stepped forward and there is a change in its expression.
It sniffed around a bit and after marking down all the five apes' scents, it stood on all fours as its body slowly started changing.
The muscles spasmed and the fangs were enlarged. The claws on it also changed a bit with a weird grey light coming out of them.
Then the whole black-furred body started glowing grey in color as it looked at the apes hatefully.
Grivon became excited as he leaned forward to take a closer look. The manager and Gwan noticed this and knew that something big is about to happen and when they thought of the two elements the raccoon has, they couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.
The raccoon which didn't move until now suddenly became like this and it looked like its whole personality changed. When the transformation is complete, it looked to the sky and roared.
*ROAR*
Everyone in the audience was stunned. They never expected that a raccoon can even roar like this.
As soon as it roared, the undead creatures went crazy and started attacking the apes. It is almost like the raccoon no longer cared about anything and it also jumped forward at the ape that stood at the front.
The raccoon blinked from its spot and appeared right before the ape as it scratched.
The claws landed on the armor and it tore through the metal. The space elemental energy created a small rend and destroyed the armor easily.
It is no longer useful.
It landed on the ground and blinked again, before attacking the ape from the rear.
The ape blocked the attack with its staff, but the raccoon caught hold of the staff with the front claws and leaped forward to catch the flesh on the back of the large ape with its mouth.
The fangs entered deep and it simply tore out the flesh off of the ape's body.
The ape stumbled forward as the blood-soaked the fur on its book.
"What the hell is wrong with this raccoon, why did it become so aggressive all of a sudden?"
The manager muttered out loud and Grivon chuckled.
"The raccoon is called the Ape killer. There is a reason why I brought it here. I wanted to use it against the apes in the arena with the young master.
But we made this bet before I could use it.
The raccoon's race is genetically aversive to the ape-type beasts. It is like they are natural enemies for the apes since birth. They cannot stand their presence and they try their best to kill any ape that is near them.
For some reason, they can even sense the souls of the ape creatures within the vicinity because of their death element and they can estimate the strength if they focus enough.
They are clever and they can make undead creatures. There is also the space element that helps them with the defense and offense.
They can make some simple strategies.
It tracked down the dead bodies and created the undead creatures before it decided to deal with them like this.
The raccoon is actually a crazily good fighter and the only reason it didn't fight is to save the strength to kill the apes by itself.
The ape undead it stored at the start is actually something it killed by itself."
As Grivon explained, Gwan and the manager saw the first ape fall down.
They gulped in nervousness looking at the bloodsoaked raccoon that brutally killed the first ape and moved to the next one helping out the undead creatures.
The rest of the fight is a complete massacre.
The apes wanted to get away from the spot, but they couldn't. Whenever one of them moved away, the raccoon blinked from the spot and attacked the ape that was escaping.
The attacks are always targeted at their limbs and joints making them temporarily immobile or slow down enough for the undead creatures to catch up.
Grivon was right, the raccoon is clever. It is not completely dependent on instincts like most creatures. It almost behaved like it has an immense battle experience and it learned many lessons through those battles.
And within the next ten minutes, they saw its full strength as one ape after another fell and when there is only one ape left, Grivon stood up and adjusted his clothes a bit as he looked at Gwan.
