The earth shook. A terrifying noise sounded with the thump of the ancient evil ape. An enormous deep pit was being formed under the monster's feet. To Austin's surprise, the pit was at least six meters wide and ten meters deep. As if that wasn't bad enough, numerous crevices formed at the center of the pit and sprawled out as far as possible to constitute a wide web of cracks. Most of the cracks were at least one meter wide.
The ancient evil ape stood steady, its monstrous body moving freely and flexibly in the spacious pit. With an arrogant gaze, it measured the young man standing before it with sheer contempt.
"Human! What a tiny creature! You're daring and defiant, young boy. The best way to end your meaningless life is to tramp you into meat paste. I'm sorry, I cannot come up with any better idea.
I pity you, boy, as nothing of you will remain intact once I bring my foot down on your weak body. Your bones will shatter into ashes and your meat will be crushed into a paste."
Then, the ancient evil ape murmured to itself, " I don't think it will taste good as it will be mingled with sand and dirt. I'm going to feel disappointed. I hate it. But this is the only way. Do you know how long I've been longing for a bumper meal of human flesh? Centuries! I miss the taste. Damn it! The meal will be ruined!
All right, maybe I'll pass this time. I'll catch several demonic beasts for my meal instead even though they're not that tasty. They're coarse and smelly animals. But I have no choice. I have to feed myself."
The ancient evil ape seemed less furious now. All of a sudden, it raised one of its legs and strode out of the deep pit, its dramatic movement causing the fringe of the pit to collapse again.
It patted and shook the dirt off its fur and got ready to leave. The next moment, however, it froze and its eyes widened. It just stared ahead, forgetting what it had wanted to do.
Its barrel-sized eyes were glued to the ground, its mouth agape as if having seen something unbelievable. And it was something unbelievable indeed, as far as the monster was concerned. The young boy was still standing on the ground! The ancient evil ape blinked its eyes in an attempt to dispel the illusion. But the boy remained there with a brilliant smile on his face.
Of course, the boy was Austin. Relying on his bodily movement skill, he hadn't had any difficulty in avoiding the ancient evil ape's attack. He waited and kept still until the monster lifted its foot right above his head. Then, at a fleeting speed, he dodged right before the ancient evil ape brought its foot down so that the monster was only able to stamp on his shadow.
"Don't worry about me, big guy. It will be a bit difficult to turn me into meat paste. Do you want to try again? Is that all you're capable of?
As I said, I'll conquer and tame you today. That's my sole purpose for being here. I won't die before I achieve it."
Right now, there were numerous special symbols floating in front of Austin. They were arranged in a specific order to form a magical array of attack and defense.
