Chapter 46: Dont care about them! (2/2)

On the always stoic and calm lake, the booming ripples pealed. Both Michu and Yakuzan became swallowed by the waves conjured from their first contact. The ever-changing waves clashed with each other, sometimes heavier, sometimes faster.

The loud water conveyed the Azure Lake's shock, but amidst those water tears, Michu's eyes never blinked. Undisturbed, all he felt was the feeling behind his blow and critical strike. He tried to repeat the same feat, even though the critical strike hadn't begun on the weak spot.

But how could Yakuzan be that easy to defeat? He stumbled, but regained foothold a second later, then unleashed a series of punches that would scare the professional boxers in real life! With the weapon in his hand and adrenaline fueling him, Michu grasped his staff with both hands and blocked every punch.

He also did his best to attack back, but Michu quickly found out that this was something he had yet to properly learn.

Both attacking and defending were hard against such a strong opponent with two times his level!

[You have lost 402 HP!]

[You have inflicted 790 HP!]

Those kinds of messages swarmed Michu's eyes. But before those could even cover Yakuzan's ferocious face, Michu's relentless staff kicked all those messages out of his vision!

It didn't matter how much HP Michu had left! It didn't matter how long his stamina would allow him to fight for! He didn't want to follow this black magic and give enough respect to Yakuzan whose punches had been raining down with all his will.

Monkey Boss' eyes never left Michu and a spark of respect began to lit up within. This bloomed even more as Michu entered the primitive battle style. Yakuzan threw a jab from below, but Michu stepped back as if he had been anticipating it from the beginning.

”You were doing frontal attacks all this time... I was wondering when you would switch!” The distance had been created, but Michu spoke as if he wanted to have some room for the talk!

Yakuzan nodded, ”Huhu.” He replied in his language, but Michu understood! The boss said that Michu wasn't a bad opponent at all.

Michu smiled, ”Why are you a gangster then? You can change your life and become one of the residents in this world!”

Yakuzan shook his head. He couldn't leave this forest, so he decided to live here after gaining an ability. However, the players saw him as a stronger opponent and would never give up on such a 'bag of experience points'.

They didn't want to speak with the monkey, because who would? Even though Yakuzan had a name, no player tried to become friends with him solely because they lacked the class to tame pets.

Heavily suppressed by the game's reality, the players foolishly gave up on becoming friends with Yakuzan who would show them many wonders in this Azure Forest!

Thus, Yakuzan became a gangster and led other monkeys to fulfill their desires. All of them liked luxuries brought by players to this charming forest. Black coats that players wore to look cool for the opposite gender became the primary target!

Other monkeys liked red caps and hoodies.

”Haha! If they attack you, you have to fight back!” Michu laughed innocently. By then, the lake's waves calmed down and the initial calmness returned. Yakuzan and Michu's low HP stats became displayed in everyone's eyes.

”Michu! Be careful!” Sandra's voice then loudly alerted Michu! From all angles, many players decided to take a risk and take down Yakuzan before Michu's staff ended his life!

Familiar weapons and skills sparkled around him! Yakuzan didn't take a step back nor he tried to come closer to Michu! He just puffed his chest, clenched his hands, and glared at all exposed players with genuine hate!

He was ready to take those techniques head-on, but the blue slash whirled around the lake like a half-moon.

This slash broke all techniques, ended the players' lives, and silenced the loud crowd.

”Just because all of you couldn't see their battle...” Sword Mistress' voice reverberated through the lake. Even though it spanned over many kilometers, her reach was that wide! ”It doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed it.” She waved at Michu and Yakuzan, ”Keep going.” A beautiful smile worthy of celebrity widened on her face.

Michu blushed and nodded! ”Thank you!”

Yakuzan nodded as well, then the battle resumed.
