Chapter 64 The Boss Monkey Monster [Pt 2]
Chapter 64 The Boss Monkey Monster [Pt 2]
Fury filled all three of its eyes, and its salivating mouth was wide open as it thrust a punch forward.
~WHOOOOOMM!~
The air vibrated as the wind parted to make way for the massive blow that rapidly approached Rey.
For anyone, this would be the end.
But Rey was not anyone.
"[Grand Armament]"
In an instant, all of Rey\'s body emitted what could only be described as hot steam, and an orange-like substance covered his skin.
This \'armament\' especially shrouded his hand as he launched it towards the fist of his opponent.
~BOOOOM!~
A resounding explosion echoed across the room, and the walls around it cracked.
The earth that Rey stood on also broke into pieces, and based on the clash between the two… one would expect that the smaller one would have to recoil thanks to the shock.
Rather surprisingly, the opposite was the case.
~SQUELCH!~
BMM\'s massive hand was completely crushed by the effects of the A-Tier Skill. It completely tore off, turning into nothing but minded flesh and spraying blood.
"So even you can\'t copy an A-Tier Skill, huh? I figured…" Rey smiled.
[Grand Armament] was the only Buff Skill he had among his list of A-Tier abilities.
It basically coated the body in a flexible exoskeleton that improved the offensive and defensive prowess of the user.
The user would be invulnerable to weaker attacks, and the resistance they had towards both Magic and Physical attacks skyrocketed.
Sure, speed and perception wasn\'t really affected by [Grand Armament], but the power boost alone was enough to compensate for all of that.
With just one hit, Rey had easily torn apart the massive arms of his opponent.
"Don\'t look so surprised." Rey\'s voice interrupted the stunned creature before him.
"We\'re just getting started."
Rey\'s body moved much faster than BMM could see, so the only thing it noticed was a blur that reached for its bulging chest.
~BOOOOOM!~
BMM\'s body started towards its throne, shattering the entire thing in a flash.
The blow that Rey landed on him was enough to send him flying without any form of resistance.
BMM was now the one who had become a ragdoll.
"G-GURGHHH…?!"
It could not understand. How could someone so puny wield so much strength?
As BMM struggled to understand, Rey was already right behind it.
"You good, buddy?"
BMM, of course, did not understand the language that Rey spoke. But it instinctively knew that he was being looked down on.
It hated that more than anything.
"Hey… I asked a questio—" As Rey took one more step and leaned closer to BMM, the beast had a clever idea.
~WHOOM!~
It swiftly coiled its body and sent its face flying towards Rey\'s face.
Its goal was simple—crush Rey with its most powerful asset—its powerful teeth.
However…
"Urgh… your breath stinks." Rey\'s voice echoed from within BMM\'s mouth.
"?!!"
Despite trying its hardest to crush Rey with its enormous teeth, BMM felt an odd sensation—resistance unlike anything else he had ever encountered in the past.
There was nothing this Boss Monster couldn\'t crush with its powerful jaws and sharp teeth.
Yet… what was this?!
Rey\'s skin was much tougher than BMM\'s incredible teeth that it actually began to hurt it to exert pressure on the boy\'s head.
"G-GU—!"
Before BMM could utter another sentence, it felt heat rise inside its mouth.
It began to get so hot that it couldn\'t help but squirm as it tried to remove its mouth from Rey\'s face.
Unfortunately for BMM, it was just a second too late.
~WHOOSH!~
Two hot rays of light passed through the back of its throat and seared out of its neck.
If one looked through the two massive holes that formed in its burning skin, they would see two crimson red eyes glowing inside the creature\'s mouth.
"ROAAAAHHHH!!!"
BMM shrieked in pain as it stepped away from Rey.
It\'s throat was burning, and it was experiencing so much pain—
too much pain.
"You can\'t break down Skills if they\'re activated inside your bodies, can you? Or maybe you can and you just didn\'t use it…"
Rey\'s voice was completely ignored by the Boss Monster.
It was in such extreme pain that it was now waving its only remaining hand aimlessly through air, hoping that it would somehow get rid of Rey.
If only that would be enough…
~WHOOSH!~
Rey shot a single thrust, aiming for the very things the monster before him had the most pride in
Its indestructible teeth!
Well… they shattered upon impact with Rey\'s armament-
coated fist.
Like sharp spikes breaking apart and flying in multiple places at once, the broken teeth all went their way—a lot of them skewering the flesh of their previous owner.
"G-GURGHHH…"
At this point, BMM was already choking on its overflowing blood. It staggered back, helplessly unable to do anything but cast a fearful gaze on its supposed prey.
"Hehehe… hehehehe… hahaha…!!"
The fiend before it was laughing as it struggled to do the one thing every living creature innately desired.
… To live!
BMM desperately wanted to live, and if it could, it would plead for its dear life in whatever language Rey understood.
"G-GURRR—!"
As it raised its hand in surrender, Rey\'s hand became a blur, and it flew straight towards the chest of the beast.
~SQUELCH!~
The smell of gore wafted through the air as Rey\'s fist was lodged deep within BMM\'s chest.
Enough to crush its heart, and also to harvest its core.
"Two birds… one stone."
BMM knew at that moment that its life had come to an end.
Despite its brief, desperate, and shameful attempt to live, he had been rewarded with evidence that showed the futility of its actions.
As Rey\'s hand slopped out of its chest, dragging its Monster Core with it, BMM felt its consciousness fading.
This was the end.
"Sweet! It\'s bigger than the rest! I can definitely sell it for…"
Those were the last words BMM heard before it finally drifted to the world that Monsters go to when they die.
The land of nothingness.
