Chapter 375 Monkey Might I

[As the title suggests, this chapter will focus on the Monkeys and their battle]

The Blood Oath Demon Monkey King moved quickly through the Untamed Jungle. Being inside the enemy's territory, Sun Demos ought to be more careful, but his movements were far from silent. The tree branches crackled underneath his feet as he kicked them with great force to propel his body further ahead.

His large hands and upper body were soaked in blood, making the Sun Demos look vicious. It was accentuated even further by the crimson glowing eyes that stared menacingly at his destination. He could only helplessly witness the death of his brethren. His subordinates were cut apart as they were unable to even see their invisible enemies.

Sun Demos had been in a different area when a premonition germinated in his heart. He had a really bad feeling about his subordinates and began to move through the Untamed Jungle without thinking about the attention he attracted by rushing through the dense foliage all around him.

All Sun Demos could think of was protecting his subordinates and saving them before he was late.

Unfortunately, he arrived too late to save them all.

["We're under attack!"] Sun Demos reported to his Master, grinding his fang-like teeth.

He was fuming in anger, but he still had to report to Michael.

["What do you mean? Did the Kitsun attack you and some other smaller units, or–..."] Michael asked, but Sun Demos couldn't think straight anymore. He wasn't even sure if he heard Michael correctly before his voice rang out once again.

["They trapped my people. These foolish monkeys were tricked. They ran straight into a hail…I need to save them!"]

His voice was filled with desperation, yet he sounded oddly calm. The voice carried an ominous feeling that filled Sun Demos' heart. It was almost like every word was filled with the desire to protect his subordinates and prevent any more casualties.

Sun Demos' head was spinning but all he could think about was his subordinates. This was something he learned from his master. It was a trait he inherited from Michael after their Taming bond deepened to a certain level.

Sun Demos grew more intelligent – even if it was only by a small margin– and he learned a lot from Michael's kind yet somewhat vicious soul. He was kind and loving, but would mercilessly stomp on his enemies to eliminate everyone who posed a potential threat to his people.

His desire to protect his people, which Michael had passed on to him, seemed to talk to him. Sun Demos didn't even realize what he was doing as he grasped the firm taming bond in his consciousness. He created a strong pulling force that momentarily reinforced the taming bond even further.

A mythical feeling spread through Sun Demos' entire being as the taming bond pulled on Sun Demos and Michael's Souls. It began to ripple and move, creating waves filled with vibrant energy and emotions. Unbeknownst to Sun Demos, the Taming Soultrait had been triggered. Sun Demos activated the 5-Star Soultrait through his taming bond with Michael.

However, what Sun Demos noticed was that Michael's presence within him grew stronger. Michael's presence towered above him, forcefully gaining access to his energy storage and power. In exchange, Sun Demos gained something as well. He felt mythical powers surging into him. No. They weren't surging into him. The feeling was different. It was more like he gained access to the mythical powers from a different source – from his master.

Streams of information filled Sun Demos' mind as he arrived in front of his brethren. He crashed down in front of a Blood Oath Demon Monkey, whose arm had been sliced off a moment ago.

Sun Demos clenched his fists as he took in the carnage visible in the surroundings. More than two dozen Blood Oath Demon Monkeys lay dead on the ground in a pool of blood. Their own blood.

Rage filled his heart at the sight, resulting in his silver gloves vibrating violently. It was only now that Sun Demos recalled he was wearing the metal gloves in the first place. They were Spirit Armaments that had been created using a rare blueprint and rare metals to provide Sun Demos with a high external enhancement, and a powerful weapon with a unique function.

After channeling a trace of energy into the gloves, several blades shot out of them. The gloves were actually deadly weapons with extendable blades stored within. They began to vibrate ever so slightly as Sun Demos' origin energy passed through them. However, what happened next was even a surprise to Sun Demos.

The extendable blades were coated in silver energy all of a sudden – their sharpness increased drastically. Sun Demos moved instinctively before he could make sense of what was happening. He twisted his body, instinctively evading three incoming attacks. In the next moment his hands lunged out, drawing several lines of blood through the air. The extendable blades cut through the metal armor of a Kitsun, digging deep into the enemy's body, thirsting for the blood and flesh like a starving beast.

Sensing how easily the blades pierced through the metal armor of the enemy ahead, Sun Demos was startled for a moment. Nonetheless, he never stopped moving. He accelerated instead.

His body moved rapidly. Sun Demos kicked the invisible enemy he had just killed to push the dead body onto yet another invisible enemy. He listened to the sounds that followed the kick and pinpointed the location of even more enemies. His crimson eyes stared ahead, and it didn't take long until Sun Demos found the deep imprints left by his invisible enemies.

The Veil of Invisibility was a great Soultrait. It hid all targeted allies from the enemy's sight, preventing them from being seen. It was? a shame that it was merely a 1-Star Soultrait that could only obstruct the sense of sight.

Veil of Invisibility was a cheap Soultrait that didn't require much energy to be activated and maintained. But one of its biggest problems was that the consumption increased exponentially as the number of targeted allies under the cover of the veil increased.

Furthermore, those with high perception could easily determine the ripples of energy surrounding the Veil of Invisibility and the invisible beings. Sun Demos couldn't sense or see the ripples of the ambient origin energy. Fortunately, that was not necessary after receiving Michael's support.

Sun Demos kicked the ground and lowered his body. In the next moment his body shot forward. His hands shot to the side, the extendable blades moving left and right, cutting and slicing through the enemy line of invisible Kitsun.

Blood spilled all over the ground while screams of unbearable pain filled the air. All of a sudden, Sun Demos felt something. The pulling force within him grew stronger. The taming bond expanded, his connection with Michael further strengthened to new heights. A golden glow manifested in his crimson eyes, and the streams of origin energy all around him were visible suddenly.

Being able to see the origin energy all around him, Sun Demos could also pinpoint the location of every enemy much more easily. They were invisible but the Veil of Invisibility soon turned into a hindrance and restriction. It seemed to hinder the reaction of the Kitsun, resulting in a clumsy fighting style against the fast and nimble Blood Oath Demon Monkeys.

Despite the slow reaction, being invisible was a great advantage against ordinary monsters. Unfortunately, Sun Demos was far from ordinary. He was able to grasp the Power of Michael's Soultraits and possessed enough intelligence to trigger simple Soultrait shortly after a wisp of knowledge streamed into his head.

Eagle Eyes activated, allowing him to see origin energy, thus rendering the Veil of Invisibility useless. In fact, the Veil of Invisibility turned into a nightmare as Sun Demos could fight without any restrictions while the invisible Kitsun were slowed down due to being surrounded by the Veil.

And that was something Sun Demos exploited to the fullest.

His blades cut through the air with exceptional swiftness, rapidly reaping the lives of his enemies. Fueled with rage and extraordinary power, Sun Demos ended the lives of two dozen Kitsun before they realized that something was wrong.

The Veil of Invisibility was removed shortly thereafter, sharpening the dulled senses of the Kitsun once again. But that came with a drawback as well.

As they were clearly visible again, the Kitsun were easily found by the remaining Blood Oath Demon Monkeys, who ignored their own injuries to attack and kill those who harmed them.

Meanwhile, Sun Demos' attention moved to the Awakened that were further away from the group of Kitsun Summons.

One of the Awakened pointed at Sun Demos, a purple bullet forming at his fingertip. Lightning crackled and a rumbling swept through the vicinity.

Sun Demos made his move. The thunder bullet was released with shocking velocity, hitting the area Sun Demos had been standing just a moment ago. However, there was no sight of Sun Demos.

He saw Pustan using the Thunder Bullet to kill a Blood Oath Demon Monkey earlier and reacted quickly by diving to the side, entering a thick bush to disappear from Pustan's sight.

Sun Demos shot through the bush, got up with a quick roll, and moved closer to the Awakened. Simultaneously, Glacicles formed on the ground, shooting through the bush to hit the remaining Kitsun Summons.

Instead of aiming at the Awakened, Sun Demos supported his subordinates to kill the Summons before moving on to attack the Awakened. Simultaneously, he tried his utmost to distract the Awakened.

Under normal circumstances, Sun Demos would have a hard time fighting Tier-3 Awakened. However, he was a Superior Existence at the Mid of the 2nd Tier and had access to Michael's Soultraits right now.

Meanwhile, the Awakened were Kitsun – physically weaker than other beings at the same Tier. Maybe even Sun Demos was stronger than them. He was definitely faster, and he enhanced his physical strength even further by using Enhancement on his entire body to further increase his strength and agility.

Taming's full power was unraveled for the first time, burning through Michael's and Sun Demos' stored energy like an oil coated candle, but Sun Demos didn't even notice at this point.

By now, all he could feel was tremendous power surging through him, and the addictive sensation it brought along.
