You're the Monster!

You're the Monster!

The Titan Giant Ape stopped at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. If he continued any farther, he would be easily discovered, and that would hardly be worth the trouble. Now that they had reached the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest, finding a human settlement would be easy.

"Don't tell me Kizaru got lost. What a pain!" The Titan Giant Ape would never admit that it was his own fault. The fact that he had personally led the way was already beneath him.

"Thanks, little gorilla!"

Borsalino suddenly appeared on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder, startling him badly. He then asked in disbelief, "How did you get here? There was clearly no sign of you just now."

"As for me, I only set off shortly after you arrived!"

Rota smiled at the Titan Giant Ape, completely ignoring the stunned expression on his face.

The Titan Giant Ape's heart churned with turmoil. If what Borsalino said was true, then his speed was terrifyingly fast.

"There really are human auras ahead. Looks like the human settlement isn't far away," Rota muttered to himself.

"Hmph! Since you've found the way, get off my shoulder already. What am I, a free carpet?" The Titan Giant Ape's tone gradually turned irritable.

"How scary~ Little gorilla, you should learn from this old man's temperament~"

The Titan Giant Ape was already impatient by nature. Hearing Rota's exceedingly flippant tone made his anger rise even further.

"If you don't get down, I'll flatten you!"

Rota knew that a joke was enough when it had gone far enough; there was no need to make things too tense. After the Titan Giant Ape warned him, Rota immediately jumped down to the ground.

"Then I'm really leaving, little gorilla~"

This time, the Titan Giant Ape said nothing. Instead, he used another method. The surrounding gravity suddenly intensified, crushing some trees into powder under the immense pressure.

"How excessive~"

Forget it. Seeing that the Titan Giant Ape was already throwing a tantrum, Rota found it rather uninteresting. The Titan Giant Ape really couldn't take a joke; a few words were enough to make him angry.

"Ding, Kizaru imitation level has increased to 44%!"

Hearing the system prompt improved Rota's mood considerably. Let the Titan Giant Ape stay angry if he wanted!

As Borsalino walked away step by step, the Titan Giant Ape snorted and prepared to return to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"I never expected to run into a Titan Giant Ape. What a rare find!" A hostile voice rang out.

Naturally, Rota heard it too. When he turned around, he saw a group of people surrounding the Titan Giant Ape—there were at least ten of them.

Although the Titan Giant Ape was not yet a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, he was certainly a ten-thousand-year one. Moreover, king-class soul beasts like the Titan Giant Ape could fight above their level as easily as eating.

Rota truly could not understand where these people got the courage to challenge the Titan Giant Ape.

Of course, Rota also saw the Titan Giant Ape's furious gaze, as though he were saying, "If it weren't for you, human, I wouldn't have been discovered."

Rota let out a deep sigh. Fine, fine, fine. He should handle this himself, since it had started because of him.

Just as this group of arrogant humans was about to make their move, Rota's voice slowly rang out.

"Oh my, could you all give this old man some face and let this little gorilla leave?"

"Your face? Who the hell are you?" The group burst into laughter at Rota's words.

Rota sighed. It looked like he still had to fight. What a pain!

Seeing Rota move, the group immediately became interested and closed in around him.

"Uncle, it's not that I want to say this, but while I don't know why you're built so big, your brain must have grown wrong. You still want to fight with so many of us here?"

Rota did not get angry. He merely looked silently at the group. They would be gone soon anyway, so there was no need to waste words.

"Listen up, Uncle. We're the renowned Azure Wolf Soul Hunting Group!"

"The Azure Wolf Soul Hunting Group?" Rota asked doubtfully.

"That's right. Scared now, huh? If you kneel and apologize now, it's not too late!"

"My apologies, but this old man has never heard of you~ Perhaps you're some sort of trash group."

The Titan Giant Ape beside him was amused into loud laughter by Borsalino's words. In his view, Borsalino's tone was truly infuriating, but now, the Titan Giant Ape found it especially pleasant to hear.

The members of the Azure Wolf Soul Hunting Group had never expected Rota to respond like that. One by one, their faces turned fierce as they glared at him.

"Having a temper isn't enough. Without strength, no matter how much you talk, it's all pointless."

Seeing Rota still lecturing them, one member of the Azure Wolf Soul Hunting Group could no longer stand it. He immediately revealed his Soul Rings and charged at Rota.

"Oh my~ You're actually a Soul King? Looks like you aren't all talk after all~"

"It's too late to beg for mercy now!"

"Speed is weight. Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"

"Hahaha! You're still asking such nonsense at a time like this? Uncle, be smarter in your next life!"

"First Soul Skill—Gale Fist!"

The charging man immediately used his First Soul Skill. Seeing Rota stand motionless, he assumed Rota had been scared stupid.

Just as the man thought he had succeeded, Rota raised his long right leg and swept it sideways. In an instant, the man was kicked away to parts unknown.

Only after a long while did a violent tremor echo from the distant forest...

It had all happened too fast. Before anyone present could react, the battle was already over.

"What just happened? Did you see it clearly?"

"No. Did you?"

"If I saw it clearly, would I still be asking you?"

Looking toward where the tremor had come from, they saw that all the towering trees along the path had been snapped in half, stretching so far that the end could not be seen. One could only imagine how powerful that kick had been.

The Titan Giant Ape had just been ready to help Borsalino, but he had never expected him to be so strong. If that blow had landed on him, he did not know whether he would have been injured.

"Kizaru, this guy..." The Titan Giant Ape did not know what to say.

While the Azure Wolf Soul Hunting Group members were still in shock, Rota moved. In a flash, he appeared before another member and delivered another sweeping kick...

Just like that, 10 seconds passed, and not a single person remained nearby. Rota had sent every one of them flying with a single kick.

"How scary~ Every one of you is like a monster~" Rota naturally did not forget Kizaru's flashy line.

The Titan Giant Ape beside him was utterly dumbfounded. If he could, he really wanted to say, "Bro, can you stop showing off? You're the monster here, aren't you?"

Though they had not fought directly, the Titan Giant Ape already vaguely felt that he was no match for Borsalino. While wiping out the Azure Wolf Soul Hunting Group would not take him much effort either, completely crushing them like Borsalino had and ending the fight in 10 seconds was another matter entirely.

Though the Titan Giant Ape was still somewhat unconvinced, he asked, "Borsalino, just who are you?"

"Oh my~ As for this old man, I'm just someone Clocking In to Work! Well then, farewell."

"Clocking In to Work?"

Naturally, the Titan Giant Ape could not understand such professional terminology, and Rota had no intention of explaining further.

Watching Borsalino's figure walk farther and farther away, the Titan Giant Ape shook his head and hurried toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. He needed to tell his big brother this information at once.
