Chapter 1006: Don't Waste Time
Never did Raze think that he would be traveling side by side with two of the Light Faction members, and he didn't even know the positions of the two members. It just fit the situation of him needing to find the Golden Globe as soon as possible.
Currently, Impress was leading the way with Krynic by her side, and Raze was following slowly from behind. The truth was, Impress had revealed that she would lead them to a location that looked suspicious in her eyes, as long as Raze didn't harm or get rid of Krynic.
But Krynic and she both knew this was a lie. They had found nothing but beasts since they got there and only knew of two locations.
Both of them were constantly looking at each other, wondering what the best thing to do was, as she was just aimlessly walking through the jungle right now.
'Maybe if we keep walking, we might run into an even stronger beast, one that even the Dark Magus will have trouble with. At that point, the two of us can run away,' Impress thought. 'My way wouldn't let me leave Krynic behind when I knew I could do something to help him, so I had to step in. But this might be the best chance if we're both alive to survive as well.'
Impress did feel somewhat bad because leaving with Raze meant the two of them had left the group of Light Faction members behind. Some no longer had life after being hit by the Dark Magus's attacks.
Others had been badly injured to the point they would struggle to move. It usually wouldn't be so much of a problem, but on an island like the one they were on now, it most likely meant death with no one there to protect them.
Meanwhile, Raze had his own thoughts going through his mind as he trodded behind the others.
'These two could be leading me aimlessly around this jungle. It doesn't seem like they're high up in the rankings of the Light Faction. I need to find the real people in charge if I want to get somewhere.
'The Light Faction and Alter wouldn't have sent such a small group. I wonder when I should ditch these two in front of me,' Raze thought, blatantly unaware of those he was traveling with.
When thinking about the punch he had unleashed, the power he had witnessed was subpar to that of Belil. He remembered the conversation. According to Belil, the method he had used to give his power to Raze allowed a more direct transfer of Qi and energy.
It wasn't like the extraction technique. So not only did he have a large percentage of Belil's Qi, but he had his own now as well. So Raze figured that his strikes when gathering Qi should be even stronger than Belil's, and yet they weren't.
The only reasons he could think of were that Belil had used some type of technique when throwing his fist, or Raze wasn't best at utilizing the Qi, or his body wasn't yet adapted to the Qi completely that was within him.
The destruction he had caused with his fist was something he could have done with his second formation—the Eclipse Strike.
What Raze didn't know, since he had rushed onto the island, was that everything was different. The terrain, the strength of the beasts, the ground, and the trees themselves. All of this and the experiences he had so far with the beasts and the warriors he met made him have a lackluster experience when he expected more.
While walking around, Impress did notice a change in the scenery. She had continued to head straight and noticed a change in the jungle's colors, deciding to head there. Eventually, all three of them went into an open area where they could see a long wooden bridge.
It was a strange place to put a bridge because it didn't go over a trail of water or a big cavern, but a bridge that just went from one rock to the other-something Pagna warriors could get across with relative ease.
Only, there was also something directly in front of the bridge. There was a large, giant white- furred monkey with four arms and four tails. On either side of the bridge, there were two piles of black coconuts.
Immediately, the monkey picked up one of the black coconuts and hurled it toward the group. Both Impress and Krynic pulled out their weapons to defend themselves. The spear and sword, filled with Qi, clashed against the black coconut, and the two of them were being pushed back through the ground.
They were moving further and further until they had nearly reached Raze's position as well.
'What is with these two? I thought they would send strong Light warriors to this place, but they can't deal with a beast like this?' Raze thought.
He had seen various sizes of beasts in different areas, and the size didn't always mean strength. But this beast didn't look too intimidating, nor did it seem to have any special traits, unless a person counted throwing coconuts as one of them.
Eventually, the coconut fell to the ground, and Impress and Krynic looked at each other. They could tell from the coconut throw alone that this was the strongest beast they had come to face.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"We will need to go all out to take out this thing!" Impress claimed.
"I will go from the right, and you go from the left. Otherwise, the beast will hurl all of those coconuts in one direction," Krynic said.
Both of them were ready as they nodded at each other, prepared to go, until Raze walked forward and headed straight in the center of the two.
The monkey, seeing Raze with his white hair, picked up one of the black coconuts.
"I already told you guys that I'm in a rush," Raze said.
The monkey hurled the coconut again at Raze, and he was ready to swing his sword.
"Crimson Slash!" Raze used his most common but helpful technique, one he usually used magic with, but this time he just used Qi, and it stretched out.
The coconut was split in half. And shortly after, the beast's body was split in half as well. "I can't waste time," Raze said to the two.
