Chapter 49 Steel-Armed Gorilla

"They have actually created a proper village..." Roza said in surprise from the top of the tree. She climbed the tree to see all the way to the Northern Hills, where Steel-Armed Gorilla's Lair was.

She jumped down the tree and landed beside RedBand. "Yeah, they have created a community, alright. They have created a wooden wall around their own little village, and only one shack has been built so far.

"The Steel-Armed Monkeys were guarding the wall, and if I should guess, I am certain that the Steel-Armed Gorilla is in that wooden shack in the middle of the village. It won't be easy to reach that."

"Got it," RedBand said. "Roza, make the Steel-Armed Monkeys chase you. We will ambush them and take them down swiftly. Then we will do a coordinated attack on the village, get rid of other Steel-Armed Monkeys and finish it all with the extermination of Steel-Armed Gorilla."

"Got it, boss." Roza nodded and ran into the forest.

"Be ready." RedBand said to others and looked towards the village.

Ambrose leaned against a tree and watched as Roza's silhouette moved closer to the gated entrance of the village. She soon exited the depths of the forest and waved her hands around her like a windmill.

Steel-Armed Monkeys started appearing on top of the wall, all looking at the strange female waving her arms around. They looked like ordinary monkeys with brown fur, but their arms were made of steel.

The monkeys started hopping around and screaming at each other.

Roza backed off with a pale face and soon saw the wooden gate swing open. From there, dozens of monkeys charged at her while screaming and smashing their steel arms at the ground.

She didn't hesitate, and she ran in the opposite direction from them. She had spent most of her stat points on agility and therefore managed to outpace the screaming monkeys.

Roze jumped over a fallen tree trunk and slid down a steep hill. After reaching the bottom of the hill, she stood up and looked up at the hill. The screaming monkeys didn't hesitate and chased after her by rolling down the hill like brown snowballs.

She backed off, but didn't continue running away.

After the first monkey reached the bottom of the hill, she pulled out a bow and arrow and fired. The arrow crossed the distance almost instantly, but the monkey placed its steel arms in front of the arrow and deflected it.

The monkey screamed. It didn't like one bit of being attacked. It smashed its steel arms onto the ground and charged after Roza with beastly rage.

A sword sliced through the air, and only a split second later, it had separated the monkey's head from its body.

The monkey's head rolled down the slope and disappeared into a nearby bush.

"Boss!" Roza shouted with a smile after RedBand charged from the forest with the remaining party members.

The rest of the Steel-Armed Monkeys had reached the bottom of the hill and saw one of their kin dying right in front of them. Their eyes turned bloodshot, and they looked incredibly angry.

A Steel-Armed Monkey charged forward with its four limbs, planning to kill the person who killed its kin.

RedBand calmly crossed his sword in front of his body, waiting for the attack.

Then a tall figure appeared in front of him and blocked the monkey's charge with his shield. Felixar then clenched his left fist and smashed it into the monkey's face, sending him flying into a nearby tree.

The Steel-Armed Monkeys screamed and rushed forth. Over a dozen monkeys with overflowing killing intent charged at Felixar. If it were any ordinary player, they would be shaking in their boots if they were attacked by such a strong group.

However, Felixar kept his ground and prepared for the impact.

At that moment, several arrows crossed the distance and stabbed through the faces of a few charging monkeys. Those monkeys collapsed on the ground, the rest of the light disappearing from their eyes.

Felixar stepped powerfully forward and pushed several monkeys backward. A few monkeys then jumped forward and punched at the shield with their steel paws. The attack was very powerful, but the tank of the party managed to keep his ground.

Andyy and PamPam shot forward with their spears and impaled several monkeys through their skulls.

RedBand raised his sword and slashed through the throat of a Steel-Armed Monkey that was trying to attack Felixar from the side.

The Steel-Armed Monkey fell to the ground, dead.

Ambrose unsheathed both of his swords and blocked a punch from Steel-Armed Monkey. The monkey screamed loudly and tried to push the swords away, but it clearly underestimated the black-haired youth's strength.

Ambrose sidestepped, letting the monkey run past him. He then swung his sword at its back, cutting off its tail. The monkey screamed and fell to the ground.

He quickly charged at the fallen monkey and slashed through its back, killing it swiftly and powerfully.

"Some help here!" Felixar shouted as he was being pushed back by three Steel-Armed Monkeys.

Hearing his shout, RedBand ran to aid him and slashed through the skull of one of the monkeys. Only a moment later, Ambrose came to his aid and stabbed his sword through the frail heart of another monkey.

The last remaining monkey pounded its steel paws at the shield but couldn't break through it.

Felixar lowered his stance and smashed the shield into the monkey's face, stunning it for a moment. He then reeled in his fist, moved the shield out of the way, and smashed his fist into the monkey's face, shattering its skull.

Roze pulled her bowstring and released an arrow. The arrow flew over the shoulder of Felixar and landed on the skull of the last remaining monkey.

RedBand looked around and nodded. "Good job guys. Roza, take the dropped items, and we will share them back in Amaterasu."

"Got it, boss." Roza said and went to gather the items.

Ambrose sheathed his swords and looked at his notifications. In total, he killed four monkeys and received 28 XP. He wasn't part of a party with others, and neither were they.

They decided that they would only join the party for the boss fight, as it would give them more XP than a single monkey would. This was the way of doing things, as sharing all XP, according to them, was foolish and wouldn't inspire anyone to work harder.

They also weren't allowed to steal kills.

"Let's go!" RedBand shouted and ran up the hill. They reached the top of the hill and slowly approached the village. They saw that the wooden gate was swung open and the other Steel-Armed Monkeys were nowhere to be seen.

They carefully approached the village and entered through the open gate. The village was empty, and the poorly built shack in the middle of the village seemed empty.

"Did all the monkeys chase us?" Andyy asked.

"Unlikely. If there were only this many monkeys, they wouldn't have been as big a treat as those villagers made them seem." RedBand said.

Crack... CRACK!

An enormous figure crashed through the shack and pounded its large chest powerfully. Its arms were muscular and made of steel. It had jet black fur as if it were made of darkness, and when it stood with four limbs, it was taller than an ordinary one-story building.

It was the Steel-Armed Gorilla!

"Let's join the party!" RedBand shouted and sent party invitations to everyone. Everyone accepted it instantly once it appeared in their vision.

"On the walls!" Roza suddenly shouted.

RedBand looked around in shock, and his face paled slightly. Steel-Armed Monkeys appeared on top of the walls. They surrounded the village, and there were over 100 of them!

"They were hiding in the forest..." RedBand muttered in shock. "This was an ambush after all!"

Ambrose unsheathed his swords and narrowed his eyes. 'It seems they are quite smart... for mindless beasts.'
