Taking advantage of the shocked Banobo, I bit the monster's right leg. And as I intended, the Banobo's bone broke from that attack and the monster easily lost its balance. Though of course, I didn't let go of the monster's leg and instead I forcefully pulled it in the opposite direction. As a result, the monster wasn't able to soften its fall and it crashed heavily into the ground.

Probably because the whole area was made out of wood, a loud bang reverberated when the monster fell. But despite pathetically tumbling face-first in the ground, the Banobo still immediately tried to get up. Though naturally, I wasn't about to let the monster recover so easily.

Without wasting any second, I immediately leaped above the defenseless Banobo. My goal was simple; it was to immediately end the match by breaking the monster's neck. But before I managed to sink my fangs into the monster's neck, the Banobo managed to force its arm into my mouth. But as a result of that choice, the Banobo's arm was broken.

Seeing that, I internally cursed because of the wasted opportunity. Lucky bastard!! But upon realizing that the situation also provided another opportunity, I instantly took action and attempted to rip the flesh on Banobo's arm.

It was then that my heightened senses started tingling. Recognizing that it was a warning from an incoming attack, I hastily let go of the monster's arm and bent my body backwards. And as if confirming my prediction, the Banobo's other arm brushed passed my nose with a terrifying speed

Yikes! That was close!!

In hindsight, it looked like the Banobo had made full use of that opportunity to land a critical blow on my head. Fortunately, my senses had become a lot sharper than before probably as another result of the synchronization of my mind and body. On top of that, it was further enhanced by skills so as long as it wasn't too fast, I could probably evade any attack.

Then, after dodging the Banobo's punch, I once again bared my fangs towards the monster. Unfortunately, before I managed to injure the monster even further, the Banobo kicked me away. As a result, I flew away backwards and the Banobo used that chance to stand back up. Though because the Banobo's leg was broken, the monster was only standing on its shaky legs.

Looking at the bloody monster, I could easily tell that the Banobo was just barely hanging on. But despite all its injuries, some fighting spirit was still burning on the monster's eyes. Clearly, the Banobo still hasn't given up. The way I saw it, this battle wouldn't end unless one of us died. Even more so because the Ape type monsters around us weren't showing any intent to stop this battle.

Fine, let's end this!!

Following that, I once again charged towards the Banobo. Reacting to that, the Banobo swung its uninjured arm towards my direction. Of course, I easily dodge that attack. But then, as if ignoring all its injuries, the Banobo began to swing both of its arms towards me. But because I was fully determined to finally end the battle, I continued pushing forward without any hesitation.

In the middle of that storm of attacks, I leaped, slid, and dodged every single attack that had come my way. And probably because of newly sharpened senses, I easily figured out the timing of the monster's attack. Furthermore, it also seemed like the Banobo was getting weaker each time it swung its arms. Most likely, it was the effect of losing too much blood while also forcing its injured body. Though of course, even though I fully respect the monster's action, I wasn't about to hold back just because of that.

In order to find the best opening to strike, I focused all my senses to the incoming attack. Then, just before the Banobo's fist hit my face, I leaped above the monster's arm. And with precise movements, I used that very same arm as a foothold to dash towards the Banobo's head.
