At the center of Hell Island, in a basin.
While countless beasts stampeded across the island in chaos, the area where Ron stood was barely considered calm. The beast kings that knew Ron was not to be provoked quietly kept their distance, yet there was no disorder. This place was like the eye of a storm, maintaining its usual order.
However, the beast tide outside covered too vast an area. Even here, he could feel the ground trembling from the vibrations it caused.
"What happened?"
As the one responsible, Ron found it a little strange. Then he saw three signal flares launched from the horizon.
"Command signals... Looks like something major happened!!"
Ron's expression turned grave.
"However..."
I don't have time for that right now!
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ron worked hard to calm the surging lightning within his body and recover his strength. The move that combined Hell Island, violence, and the giant ape—One Hundred Million Volt Hell Burst Ape—was no simple enhancement skill. Filling his body with electric current from within until it expanded and burst brought tremendous power, but it also placed an equally tremendous burden on his body! After lasting only three minutes, Ron felt as if his body had been completely drained.
Its backlash was not as monstrous as Extreme Overload's, but accordingly, it required far more stamina to sustain. There were gains and losses to both.
If he did not hurry and recover his strength now, Ron was not confident he could deal with the powerful enemy about to arrive...
Rustle!
Suddenly, the chirping of insects and birds around him fell silent in unison, and everything became desolate.
The air seemed as thick as mud, making even lifting a hand incomparably difficult.
Ron knew this came from an intense sense of mortal danger.
