Noticing the presence of one another, the two gigantic monsters stared down at each other. And to be honest, it felt as if time itself had stopped. During that standoff, the two monsters unleashed their bloodlust and aura without holding back. As a result, a torrent of incredible malice spread out making the entirety of the cave a giant pot full of malevolence.

Upon receiving that wave of malice head on, I flinched. D-damn it... As the veil of spite grew thicker, it also became harder and harder to breathe. ...What the heck is that monster even doing here?! I couldn't help but ask. And as if answering that question, I saw the leader of the apes a little distance away.

Of course, the monster was together with his army. But in contrast to the majority of his soldiers who only have few light injuries, the Gigarillon who was supposed to be their leader somehow has wounds all over his body. More than that, the monster also seemed more exhausted than his soldiers which were not only weird, but also didn't make sense. Especially considering the fact his two confidants weren't that tired either.

Don't tell me... he's the one who lured that monster here?! To be perfectly honest, that was the only possible explanation why the Gigarillon was more injured than his soldiers. After all, I couldn't even imagine his two most trusted confidants letting him get hurt. Because for what it's worth, those two had always been overprotective when it comes to the Gigarillon's safety.

While I was staring at the Gigarillon in shock, I didn't even notice that the malice shrouding the entire area was already gone. In fact, I only came back into my senses when I heard the roar and screech of the two monsters followed by the Cerberus' thunderous steps.

When I looked back, a loud bang rang into my ears and my vision was hindered by a cloud of dust. Following my instinct, I used my speed to move away in a flash all the while gazing upfront with the utmost caution.

Continuous deafening sounds of explosions erupted up ahead. Along with that, the thick cloud of dust also showed no signs of ever beginning to subside. But in the midst of that, I still saw the silhouette of the two gigantic monsters going at it in close combat. Sometimes, the other one would try to move away only to be caught by its enemy. There were also times when there was a sudden flash of light accompanied by a raging gust of wind.

I will most definitely die if I get caught in that... I thought with a jest. Then without hesitation, I decided my next course of action. Okay, let's just run away from here.

With that in mind, I turned and ran into the opposite direction. On my way, I came across the army of ants who were charging straight into the center of this cloud of dust. Fortunately, it seemed like their senses were also being dulled by the cloud of dust and thunderous sounds, so my stealth became even more effective and they didn't notice my presence. Though of course, there were still some exceptional ants that could sense me from time to time. But well, they were no big deal so I just made a quick work out of them before adding them to my shadow stacks.

After a while of moving against the unceasing wave of ants, I noticed that the cloud of dust was already starting to subside. And as I continued, the cloud became thinner and thinner until it was almost entirely gone.

As the visibility of the surroundings became much clearer, I also realized that the effect of my stealth would also decrease. And so, I didn't hold anything back and activated Haste and applied Shadow Augment to my limbs. Using that speed and agility, I dashed around to every possible space while keeping the confrontations against the ants at the bare minimum.

This will be tough!! I thought while cutting away at the nearest ant. And just as I expected, numerous ants always swarmed on me wherever I went which of course hindered my pace. Tsk! I will get tired and be surrounded at this rate!!
