The Gigarillon's punch was so powerful that it sent the ant flying back. In fact, it was so strong that the ant flipped and bounced multiple times on the ground before it managed to stop its momentum. And more than that, the ape's attack was also proven to be quite effective. Because upon a closer look, I saw some cracks on the right side of the ant's face.

Oh no, we're not done yet!!

Together with the Gigarillon, I followed the trajectory of the ant and managed to get close to it at the same exact time that it stopped its momentum. And upon getting in range, the two of us showered the monster with a barrage of punch and slash.

"RAAAAAAHHHH!!"

"KRAAAAAHHHH!!"

For some reason, my movements seemed to be in complete sync with the Gigarillon. Because of that, we were able to pull off some fast-paced hit and run tactics while switching places around the ant. You're not going anywhere!! And with the two of us running around and attacking from all possible angles, the Anties King was unable to escape and its movements were pinned down. As a result, the ant has become too focused on defending itself to even fight back.

But even with all of that, the fight had still come into a stalemate. This guy is unbelievably tough!! Despite all our efforts, we were still unable to land another blow to the ant. Because no matter how much we tried, the ant has always managed to somehow find a way to block our attack. That was why for at least a couple of seconds, the three of us were locked in that state of perpetual impasse.

Not good!! This is wasting a lot of my precious time. Just with the feeling on my legs alone, I could tell with ease that my Shadow Augment was about to run-out. And to make things worse, this guy is getting used to our movements!

Realizing that it wouldn't be long before the ant broke past this deadlock, the Gigarillon and I made a silent agreement to further increase our speed in a desperate attempt to overwhelm the ant. And so, with gritted teeth, the two of us pushed our body to the limit and launched ourselves into the monster.

The instant that we both kicked the ground, the two of us moved so fast that we even left some cloud of dust in our wake. But as if he was waiting for that moment to arrive, the Anties King made a swift and rapid turn. And for the first time in this deadlocked battle, the Anties King chose to dodge our attack instead of outright blocking it.

Wha—

Since we missed our target, the two of us were carried away by the momentum that we created ourselves. Because of that, there had been a split-second gap before we managed to collect ourselves, turn around, and initiate a follow-up rush. But before we even managed to strike back, the Anties King conjured a small sand-twister at the same exact time that we got in range.

With a sudden wham, I was hit by a mighty pushing force. Not long after that, I felt a piercing pain on my back and my whole world spun around.

"Grah!"

While I was there, lying helpless on the ground, I sensed a hostile presence approaching me at a terrifying speed. Following my instinct, I activated the effect of Accelerate to push my body away. And as the skill took effect, I felt the tremor from the explosion upfront to where I was lying down before.

"KREEEEE!!"

Along with that screech, the hostile presence once again tried to chase after me. Fortunately, a neutral presence intervened and stopped the movements of the hostile one.

"KRAAAAAHHH!!"

"KREEEEEHHH!!"

As the two-presence clashed, I forced my aching body to stand up without even knowing why. Huh? What's happening? Why am I here? I wondered but failed to find the answer.
