Chapter 141 Raiding the Mountain Monkey's Lair part 12

Kayn looks at the cooldown of his Molten Ice Slash.

60 seconds…

"There's still less than a minute left," Kayn turns his attention back to Friedrich and the others.

"How much longer?" Friedrich asked.

Kayn responded. "Just buy me a minute more,"

"Alright!"

In the meantime, Kayn started running around the Mountain Gorilla to look for the best opportunity to launch his attack.

However, he soon notices that despite the fact that the Mountain Gorilla is currently engaging against Friedrich and the others, it still actually continued to pay attention to him. Simultaneously, it adjusted its position every single time to face him.

"This is bad," Kayn muttered. As long as the Mountain Gorilla keeps on paying attention to him, even if he could execute his attack, he might not be able to kill it.

"Try to get its attention off of me!" Kayn exclaimed.

Hearing Kayn's words, Friedrich immediately looks up. He soon understood the reason why. "It seems like it's ignoring us!"

Looking at Gilbert, Natasha, and Jackson, Friedrich utters. "Activate your <<Outburst>>!"

"Understood!"

<Outburst>>

A powerful aura instantly envelops the body of Gilbert, Natasha, and Jackson.

<<Shadow Strike>>

<<Shadow Daggers>>

<<Vital Shot>>

Gilbert, Natasha, and Jackson respectively launch their attacks at the same time.

Bang!

Whoosh!

Splat!

Because it wasn't paying close attention to Gilbert, Natasha, and Jackson, the Mountain Gorilla directly receives the series of attacks and wasn't able to raise any defense.

Boom!

With its currently injured knee, the Mountain Gorilla kneeled once more.

This time, Friedrich and the others finally got the attention of the Mountain Gorilla.

Without any hesitation, the Mountain Gorilla waves its arm to try and hit its attackers.

Bang!

Bang!

Boom!

Gilbert and Jackson flew away as their daggers weren't strong enough to receive or parry the attack.

Meanwhile, Friedrich came in front of Natasha to receive the attack with his sword.

"My turn!" Friedrich gathers strength in his sword before waving it.

Whoosh!

The sword releases a sword wave that directly hit the other knee of the Mountain Gorilla. Because of how powerful and close the distance of the attack was, its knee snapped like the other, instantly causing both of its knees to kneel on the ground.

"You shouldn't have ignored us," Friedrich focuses his strength on his sword once more. He pulled the sword to his side and used another skill.

<<Focus Strike>>

Whoosh!

A sword light shoots out from the tip of Friedrich's sword.

Seeing the incoming attack, the Mountain Gorilla quickly raised both of its arms in front to defend itself.

Boom!

The Mountain Gorilla fell to its back right away after receiving the attack. Looking at its forearms, the hair that once covered it has now disappeared.

Quickly, the Mountain Gorilla picked itself together with the intent of launching its counterattack.

"Good work everyone!" Kayn smiles.

<<Sword Dance>>

Whoosh!

A much stronger force than the previous times he used <<Sword Dance>> envelopes his entire body.

<<Temperature Reset>>

The cooldown of all Active Skills immediately reset.

<<Sword Dance>>

Another powerful force envelops Kayn's body.

"That…"

Friedrich and the others felt dumbfounded.

"300% increase in damage from the two <<Sword Dance>> plus 50% from the <<Outburst>>…" Friedrich said after doing the math in his head.

"That means three and a half times the original damage," Gilbert couldn't believe it.

"Wouldn't that mean that his attack is the same as those level 50 monsters?" Roshan wonders.

"Somewhere close," Friedrich corrected.

"Here I go!" Kayn exclaimed. "Have a taste of my most powerful attack!"

<<Molten Ice Slash>>

WHOOOSH!

The surrounding turned hot and cold as a mix of ice and fire appeared in the wake of the traveling sword wave.

Bang!

The ice exploded and turned into spikes and the flame spit out tongues of flames.

As the sword wave continues to travel, the strong and powerful wind pressure soon came blasting the surrounding, cutting the rocks, and pushing the others a few distances away.

"This is insane!" Gilbert can't help swearing in amazement.

Both of the Mountain Gorilla's arms are still aching from the pain of receiving Friedrich's previous <<Focus Strike>>. Hence, it wasn't able to raise its guard on time.

BOOOM!

Splat!

A circular object was suddenly thrown mid-air.

As everyone looks up, they immediately saw the head of the Mountain Gorilla falling to the ground.

Looking down, the headless corpse of the Mountain Gorilla had half of its body covered in freezing cold ice while the other half is currently burning in hot blazing flame.

Bang!

A muffled noise sounded.

However, it didn't come from the direction of the Mountain Gorilla, but from the opposite corner of it.

As they turned their heads around, they instantly saw Kayn lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

In a single bit of the moment, Friedrich and the others run to approach Kayn.

Chastine and Cedrick also quickly run forward to get to Kayn. While running, they started showering the latter with dozens of healing magic spells, thus covering him with gold and green-colored lights.

"Is he alright?"

"Luckily we were able to provide healing magic spells on time,"

"That's a relief…"

…..

As Kayn opens his eyes, he was immediately greeted by the bright light coming from a small hole in the ceiling.

He slowly got up from the bed and almost instantly he felt pain all over his body, causing him to moan and tremble slightly.

"You're finally awake," Natas greeted.

"How long was I sleeping?"

"Less than three days,"

Kayn felt surprised. "That long?!"

"Your body was exhausted from pulling out that risky stunt. And because you activated your <<Outburst>> skill, your body weakened to the point that it was unable to start self-recovery," Natas explained.

"Chastine and Cedric went on turns to keep on casting healing magic spells on you all this time until your body finally returned to normal and activated its natural self-recovery,"

"It seems like my body can't quite handle that power yet," Kayn shook his head regretfully. He was honestly planning on adding that newfound combination skill to his arsenal so that he'll finally have a very powerful attack to use. Unfortunately, with how he ended up after using it, he most likely has to wait longer in order to be able to finally take advantage of it.

Regardless, it isn't that big of a deal. After all, a time would still come when he'd be able to eventually use it. He'd just have to wait patiently and continue increasing his body stats.

Standing up, Kayn suddenly experienced a brief headache and dizziness, causing him to fall right to the ground.

Bang!

A loud enough noise echoed which was more than enough to get the attention of the Goblin who is assigned to guard the entrance of Kayn's tent.

"He is awake!" The Goblin felt delighted. So delighted that he forgot to assist Kayn in getting up as he went running away to inform the others.

Kayn didn't mind it as he simply uses the bed to push himself back up. This time, he didn't stand up anymore but simply sat on the bed.

Evidently, his body is still very weak that it couldn't handle standing up yet.

He wasn't feeling worried though as he understood clearly well that this is the consequence of executing a combination of skills that his body can't handle.

This was what he was worried about in the past. And this event just confirms his assumption.

Not long after, a series of loud footsteps approaching the tent was heard outside.

Soon, Friedrich and the others came rushing inside the tent one after the other.

"Kayn!" Gilbert called out. "Are you okay? Is there any part of your body that still hurts? Tell me, I'll make sure to do everything to help you recover,"

"Heck, you sounded more like a mother," Jude rolled his eyes.

"That's because I am responsible for protecting him!"

"Then you should have done a better job so that he wouldn't turn out like this,"

"You…"

"Enough, both of you," Friedrich stares solemnly at Gilbert and Jude, immediately causing the two to shut up. He approaches Kayn and sat beside him before asking. "How are you feeling?"

"I am alright now. It's just that my body is still weak enough that I can't stand up yet,"

"That's to be expected,"

"Yeah…"

"Is there anything you need?"

"Maybe a few more days of rest should suffice,"

"No rush. There's still a long way to go before we reached our next destination,"

"Have you already begun with the journey?"

"You were sleeping for two days. And since you already got the Mountain Heart Flower, we all decided to begin the journey to the next destination,"

"That's good to hear," Kayn smiles. This means that while he is resting, things are still on schedule. "I noticed a Goblin just now. Does that mean Gnarlak and the others choose to come with us?"

"Yeah. Gnarlak and his people volunteered to be our temporary workers so that they could at the very least do something as a form of payment for the favor we gave to them,"

"I guess I can rest without worry,"

"That's right!" Friedrich stood up. "I believe you still need to continue resting. So, we will be leaving you here with Cedric to watch over you and monitor the state of your body,"

"I want to be alone for the moment,"

"If that's what you wish," Friedrich bid farewell as he encourages everyone to leave the tent so that Kayn can continue resting. Before finally leaving, he reminded. "There's a Goblin stationed outside. Just ring the bell beside your bed and he'll get inside to accommodate your needs,"

"Okay," Kayn nodded his head.

With that being said, Friedrich and the others left.
