Chapter 161.2 The Monkey King’s Palace (5) (1/2)

The monkeys, despite being made of stone, moved quickly. Their weight left imprints on the ground where they stepped. That was how heavy and fast they were. Being hit with a fist could easily crush one’s head.

Rebecca and Victoria instinctively moved.

[You can’t let them go outside of that door! Victoria!]

[Got it!]

Rebecca gripped the artifacts that were made by Cernunnos’s horn, ‘Horned Sword.’ She jumped forward with one each in her hand.

On the outside, it looked similar to any other sword, but it had the power to split spaces. A storm arose as she swung them about at the monkey statue.

Boom!

The monkey statue’s abdomen broke off to the side. But behind him, 3 more came and fell over Rebecca.

Then, Victoria brought her hand down with runes. Fire exploded and blew the monkey statues away.

The statue at the very front crumbled apart, but the other 2 were just damaged and landed lightly back. Rebecca and Victoria moved towards them again.

Boobooboom!

Rebecca twirled her swords at the front. As she created winds with every twirl, holding off the statues, Victoria used rune magic behind her to protect her.

The two were planning on preventing the statues from going through the door.

Because then, they would be completely surrounded. Victoria wouldn’t even have time to use her magic. She needed to stop them from getting behind them.

Kahn, reading their thoughts, took a deep breath and turned his direction. He gripped his sword on his right hand and suddenly cut his land palm on the blade.

Blood smeared onto the blade. The sword became a deep red.

[Cry.]

And with Kahn’s command, the sword started to cry.

. It was a skill that ate the blood of their user to strengthen them. It was the skill that gave Kahn the name Blood Sword.

Kahn was able to grow that skill on the 5th mountain, and now it even had an exploding quality.

As he powerfully swung his sword, a bloody light waved around him and blocked the approach of the monkey statues. Kahn used that opportunity to cut the necks of the statues.

There was only one thing he had in mind. To get to where the stone plaque was. His sword reflected his rushed mind.

And.

Yeon-woo swept his hair back with his hand, spinning around his Extrasensory Perception and his Draconic Eyes.

He split his consciousness into different parts using his Time Difference and quickly tried to understand the situation.

On top of that, he easily shot down the monkeys one by one with his Aura.

Fortunately, the guarding statues didn’t seem to have moved. He needed to get rid of as many as he could before the most powerful ones started moving.

But even these were too dangerous. He even thought about activating his Dragon’s Authority.

‘These monkey statues, they’re all moving with vestige. The Monkey King’s vestige…I was mistaken. What we were dealing with all this time wasn’t the Monkey King’s vestige but his servants’.

Since the Monkey King had been sealed here for so long, he thought it was obviously the Monkey King’s vestige.

But there were only traces of the Monkey King’s vestige.

What was putting them in danger now was the vestige of the servants.

They should’ve focused on the name of the dungeon at the beginning.

The Monkey King’s Palace.

A palace, not a sealing point. Then it would’ve clearly been the vestige of the servants. He shouldn’t have thought that the weak vestige was from the Monkey King in the first place.

To think that he hadn’t been able to think about this simple fact.

However

The moment he knew the identity of the vestige, the difficulty decreased. All he had to do was group his attacks to fight them off.

Yeon-woo grew his consciousness. As his Extrasensory Perception and Draconic eyes became more clear, he could read the flaws of the monkey statues around him.

And there was a place where the flaws were especially more gathered.

The nucleus.

It was where the yokai monkeys had planted their seeds of consciousness.

Yeon-woo identified it with his Time Difference and exploded his magic power in that direction.

Aura poured down like rain. Because his proficiency wasn’t that high yet, he wasn’t able to damage it that much.

But that was enough.

[Attack where I just marked, plase. That’s where the vestige is gathered.]

The eyes of the other 3 sparkled at what Yeon-woo said. They were starting to become tired. But the story changed if someone pointed out the weakness.

Rebecca tightly held her Horned Sword and turned around. . As her signature skill activated, the two horned swords exploded with fancy effects.

Everytime she swung her swords, the effects endlessly attacked the nucleus, breaking it into pieces.

Victoria used double casting to deliver two types of magic at the same time. It was ‘Targeting’ and ‘God’s Hammer’ to hit the target right on the spot with precision.

It was only two types of magic, but it used up to ⅔ of the runes of her bracelet.

Boom!

The mark turned purple, and tens of nuclei rained from the ceiling.

The monkey statues weren’t weak enough to be defeated by this attack. Rebecca and Victoria didn’t spare anything and put everything into continuously attacking them.

Yeon-woo and Kahn flashed around the momentarily stunned monkey statues and cleaned up the remaining nucleus.

And after they spent a considerable amount of time, the last monkey finally fell.

[You have successfully passed through the first test. Please get ready for the second test in the remaining time.

[0:05:00]

[0:04:59_98]

…..

[Pant. Pant.]

[This is…..crazy.]

Victoria plopped on the ground with a pale face. Because she had used all her rune magic, her magic power was completely gone now.

If she had pushed herself a bit more, her magic organ would have been damaged. Thankfully, she was able to avoid that. But her desire for a solution to her problem just increased.

And her heart became heavier at the message about the second test. Because if this kept up, they would be in big trouble. Health was important too, but she needed to figure out how to replenish her magic power  first.
