Chapter 181: Chapter 180:Time to teach a monkey to jump.

Inner region, land of the damned...

BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!

"Damn, looks like the original me is delivering some proper ass whooping.."

"While I’m here, chasing ghosts... FUCK!!!" Dante’s clone cussed angrily as he finally became frustrated...

It’d already been a minute since the original body had gone wings hunting and from the sounds and the trembling of the environment, he was already getting his hands dirty, yet he, after bragging about not losing, hadn’t found even a single abomination yet...

"FUCK!!!!!"

Booom!!!!

The clone cussed as he punched the air in frustration...

"Hahahaha... stupid abomination, die for this monkey.. hahahahah..." yet before he could continue spiraling, an obnoxious laughter reached his ears..

"Wait, I recognize that voice.." the clone sped up, changing directions as it approached the source of the sound instead..

"It is him... no, not him, it’s a clone too.. heh, great minds do think alike." The clone smirked as he focused on the scene before him..

Malachi was currently facing off against a variant of the Velociplex Abomination Dante had fought earlier, only this time, the creature wasn’t having the same ease Dante had allowed it..

The monkey was abusing it with sheer numbers as more than 5 clones surrounded the creature, preventing any thoughts of escape or hiding..

"Hahahah.. this is too easy, I’m going to make sure that arrogant friend of mine learns not to challenge a true hunter.. hahahaha..." the monkey’s clones laughed manically as they continued abusing the creature, it in any hurry to end the fight..

"Oh? Is that so?" Dante’s clone, hidden from sight, caught onto what they were saying, its face splitting into a vicious grin...

"Well, two can play at that game.."

POOF!!

Instantly, more than ten identical figures appeared around the first clone, bringing their numbers to eleven..

"Hey.. mes.."

"Hey me!!!" The clones responded in sync...

"There’s been a change of plans, we’re no longer going to hunt abominations, instead, we’re going to hunt the monkey and his clones.." the first clone spoke with a wild smile..

"Oho? Sabotage the competition.."

"Steal the kills.."

"Frustrate the delusional monkey.."

"I LOVE IT... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..." all eleven figures cackled..

"Now, let us begin!!" The moment the order was given, all eleven figures simultaneously jumped the five clones of Malachi, needless to say, one v one, would already have been too much less an eleven v five scenario..

The monkeys were wiped out before they even understood what’s up..

"Okay, now spread out, use perceptions, look for the monkey’s familiar energy signature, if you find yourself against a group, you know what to do." The first clone gave out commands..

"But, wouldn’t using this many true clones and atmospheric perception, cost the main body a lot of energy?" A clone asked..

"Let that guy worry about that issue himself, now spread out, it’s time to hunt some monkeys.. haha..."immediately all eleven figure closed their eyes, their perceptions bleeding into the atmosphere as they searched for that particular energy signature, one by one, their figures started disappearing as they each sort out their targets...

.....

I sat quietly on a raised earth throne as my gaze looked over the things before me..

The landscape looked like it had been flipped by a forklift, severed limbs decorating the place like a macabre form of art.

At the center of this piece, lay the figures of the three demonic youths from earlier, only this time they were merely stumps with no arms, no legs, no eyes.

The only reason I’d allowed them the freedom of keeping their tongues, "please... I beg you.. let me die.." was to hear the wretched things beg for a mercy I wasn’t planning on giving them anytime soon...

"Don’t worry, I’ve already promised you a painfully slow death, and I intend on delivering.." my hand glowed a brilliant green as I casted my evolved healing spell on them once more, new limbs regrowing, as their sight returned, their sight but not the light within, as they looked like they’d already lost their souls...

"Good.. feel that pain? Let it mark your very beings as when I’m finally done with you, when you arrive in hell and meet the devil, you’ll tell him there’s someone else more worthy of that title" I grinned wickedly, but before I could continue my session, a seething figure appeared from the skies...

"You!!!!" Malachi bellowed in exasperated rage...

"Yo.." I waved at him, a friendly smile, completely out of sync with my current disposition appearing on my face...

"YOU!! CONNIVING, THIEVING BASTARD!!!" The monkey wasn’t smiling or laughing, not this time, though I can’t say I blame the guy...

"Hey, hey, hey, my friend, don’t be like that, it’s like they say, ’all is fair in love and war’.." I smiled harmlessly..

"FUCK! YOU!"

ROOOOOOARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

A deafening roar echoed through the skies as Malachi thumped his chest wildly, his aura increasing manifold as his form grew from his initial 6ft to a towering 20ft tall golden ape..

The staff in his hand had increased in size to match his growth...

"ORYAAAAAAA!!!!" The money roared as he swung that massive staff down at me..

I clenched my fist as I retaliated with a punch packing every once of strength I could currently gather..

BOO...BOOOOOMMMMM...

I’d struck later but my attack hit first...

The earth rumbled as a shockwave blasted outward from the point of collision..

My figure flashed as I appeared before the massive head of the monkey..

"Hey.. you’re the one that came up with the idea of a challenge, so why are you mad now that you’re losing?" I taunted, it was fun seeing the monkey crashing out...

"SHAMELESS BASTARD!!!!!!!"

Swoooshhhh!!!!

The monkey wasn’t listening...

Not one bit, all he was focused on, was making sure that massive staff struck..

"Alright then, you chose to suffer.."

I cranked my neck as I watched the staff approach..

"Time to teach a monkey how to jump.."

.....

What followed next was a proper beat down, one that I was sure the monkey wouldn’t be getting over anytime soon, especially not with what I was currently forcing him to do..

"Now repeat after me.. all’s fair.."

Malachi gritted his teeth in pure rage and embarrassing, why? Because I was currently sitting on his face that had two black eyes, forcing him to say words he detested..

"All’s fair..." ultimately, the winner is king and the loser the thief, he had no choice but to cooperate...

"In love and war.."

"In love and war..."

"That’s a good monkey..."

"Fuck!!!"

"What was that?"

"Nothing.."

"Heh.. thought so.." I grinned as I got up from the monkey’s face, mood considerably more light as I’ve just bagged myself a monkey servant to do whatever I want for a whole week....

"Alright, time to finish what I started.." my happy mood immediately froze over as my cold gaze settled once more on the newly recovered demons..

"Now, where were we?"

A/N: making demons beg... damn..

And who knew the monkey could cuss...
