The gorilla, over ten meters tall, and the werewolf, over five meters tall, are like two giants compared to other normal wild animals on the grassland.
But compared to each other, it's the same difference between a child and an adult.
Kro stood firmly on his feet, took a deep breath, his chest and abdomen bulging like a ball, and then exhaled sharply.
"Wolf-Running Cannon!"
He compressed the air into a bundle of threads, which became visible to the naked eye when he exhaled, and blasted towards the opposing Guardian Ape at incredible speed.
The opponent is so big, it can't compare to Lowe back then, there's no way I can miss.
Just as the incredibly fast Wolf-Run Cannon was about to reach the Guardian Ape, the enormous monster, as if drunk, swerved to the side with one leg bent and the other hopping, sending a gust of air grazing its body and carving a deep trench across the grassland before hurtling into the distant forest.
Boom!!!
With just one shot, the heart of the forest was blasted into flat ground.
"Didn't win?"
After only a moment of hesitation, Kro immediately reacted, and with a 'squeak', he left a mark on the ground with the sole of his foot and pounced in front of the Guardian Ape in the blink of an eye.
Those sharp claws pierced straight into the fur, knocking the gorilla down.
boom!
The massive, ten-meter-tall body crashed down, sending a jolt of energy through the ground.
As soon as he pounced, Kro sensed something was wrong. Although his claws pierced through its fur, the flesh inside the fur completely blocked them. The feeling was no different from hitting steel.
"roar!"
The gorilla roared, and immediately, as if sensing something, Kro sprang up from its body, its huge feet stomping on the air, and flew high into the sky.
Just as he leaped into the air, the monster's head suddenly stretched out and opened its mouth to bite in the direction where Kro had been. With a 'crack', the sound of its upper and lower teeth snapping together made Kro's eyelids twitch.
If you get bitten by that, your bones will probably shatter.
Before he could even catch his breath, the Guardian Ape, who had missed his attack, straightened up and hurled his naginata upwards, delivering a swift blow to Kuro.
There was no time to dodge!
"Iron block!"
Kro stood still in mid-air, his body tense, as he took the naginata that was thrown like lightning.
Bang!
The tip of the naginata pierced straight into his chest, and the immense force propelled Kro's body even higher into the air.
Thump!
However, in the next instant, the lion ape suddenly leaped up, caught the long handle of the naginata in a flash, and thrust it forward with great force. A burst of energy emanated from the tip of the blade, causing Kuro's body to bend over and he to gag.
This monster...it's so fast!
However, the fastest part is yet to come.
After the Guardian Ape's attack, it gripped the naginata and suddenly spun in the air, as if dancing, smoothly gliding over Kuro's body. The naginata swung like the moon, curving downwards to strike Kuro's head.
Bang!
Kro was struck hard on the head, and his whole body shot straight towards the ground like an arrow.
However, before Kuro could land, the Guardian Ape suddenly released his grip, instantly grabbed the naginata, and thrust it down like a spear, aiming a fierce punch at Kuro's body.
The back of my head is chilling!
Kro gritted his teeth, tensed his limbs, and landed on all fours the instant he fell, then spun around and charged straight upwards.
"Fang fang!"
The werewolf's body transformed into a black tornado, its tip colliding head-on with the tip of the stabbing naginata. With a loud bang, Kro's body flew out from the black tornado, spun a few times in the air, and then landed on all fours, sliding backward several meters on the ground.
"Ha ha..."
He gasped for breath, raised one paw, its nail broken in half, blood mixed with fur, making him look extremely disheveled.
call!
The black tornado was sliced open by a naginata. The Guardian Ape stood unharmed on the now-rotten grassland, holding the naginata in one hand, one leg bent and the other straight, while the other hand was outstretched with five fingers, aimed at Kuro.
It's like the pose in Noh theater.
"Is the movement really that smooth? How can there be such a monster!"
Kro gritted his teeth. How could such a powerful being exist in a mere, dilapidated kingdom in the Western Sea?
As an ancient werewolf, his physical body was incredibly strong. He was completely unaffected by ordinary swords and blades. The lion ape's naginata itself didn't do much damage, but combined with the monster's immense strength, the damage became significant.
If he hadn't applied a layer of Armament Haki to the back of his head just now, even if that stab hadn't killed him, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand up.
Most importantly, with such a large size, why do they move so smoothly and swiftly? The connected moves are more like a human in monster skin than a wild beast or monster.
Seeing that Kuro didn't move, the Guardian Ape turned its outstretched hand and beckoned to Kuro, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Kro glanced around and saw that Sazir and the others were gone; they had probably gone into the cave during the battle.
"Don't underestimate me..."
Kuro's pupils shrank to pinpoints as he spat out the words through clenched teeth: "I am Mr. Kuro's right-hand man. How could a mere monster lose to you!"
His limbs were pressed tightly against the ground, and the veins on his fur were visible.
Bang!
In an instant, Kro's limbs burst forth, transforming into a blur as he charged straight at the Guardian Ape.
The Guardian Ape hopped on one leg, shifted its body to the side, and the naginata on its shoulder slid over, pointing directly at Kuro.
Just as the blade was about to touch the afterimage, Kro suddenly disappeared from the location of the sword, transforming into a semi-circular black light around the Guardian Ape, like a black crescent moon.
Pfft!!!
Five black beams of light flashed from behind the guardian ape, tearing through its fur and drawing out a stream of blood.
Kuro appeared behind the Guardian Ape, one claw still in a slashing pose, the Armament Haki on the claw slowly fading away.
“Black Moonflower,” he said calmly.
"roar!"
The gorilla roared furiously as it was clawed, flailing its legs as it reached for its back with one hand.
"Hmph, that move of mine certainly caused you pain!"
A sinister smile crept across Kro's lips. That was an attack combined with high-speed movement and Armament Haki, the most powerful attack he could currently unleash. Even the strongest person would be injured by it.
"Now, it's my turn to retaliate!"
He brought the blood-stained paw to his mouth and licked it with his tongue.
The most remarkable ability of the Moon Wolf is to discern the opponent's moves and actions through blood.
Once you've tasted his blood, no matter who you are, you'll be exposed!
His tongue swirled blood into his stomach, and the savage grin on Kro's lips grew wider. "The power of blood, let me see your movements, your techniques!"
Kro's eyes widened, and he laughed wildly: "You have nothing left to hide from me, you monster!"
However, a moment later, his wide eyes seemed even larger, because the five scratches on his back were gradually healing. The lion ape stopped jumping, turned around with the naginata on its back, and revealed an extremely human-like mockery in its eyes.
It's as if they're saying, "I was just kidding."
