Dark Magus Returns

981  East Beach Blood Bath

On the east side of the island, it wasn't as if the group that had landed weren't dealing with their own set of troubles either.

"It's sinking, it's sinking!" one of the pirates on board shouted out.

"She's been damaged too much!" the captain shouted. "We have no choice but to go onto land!"

"You mean right where those monsters are!" another shouted. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In the end, the captain was tired of shouting and arguing with his men, so he jumped off his ship into the sea and started to swim toward the shore. It didn't take long for the rest to follow; they knew it would be harder to swim out once the ship completely sank—it was a death trap, and they would be taken deeper into the sea.

While the captain and the others were swimming onto the shore, they could see what was happening.

One of the men had a strange black suit covering his body with red lines of glowing energy. He was facing two monkeys and had already broken a pair of arms on both of them. He then grabbed onto the fists of two of them and pulled them until their heads banged into each other.

It was a loud hit, like two coconuts crashing into each other. The two monkeys were startled, and Zon quickly placed both of his hands on the back of their heads and then, with a zap of his red energy, blasted through them, killing them on the spot.

As for Lince, it was hard to see where he was. He had avoided a hit from one of the monkeys and then, with the back of his dagger, stabbed right through the back of the head of one. What was amazing was the tenacity of the beast.

It was still moving even with the blade stuck in its head. With the Qi Lince used, he was unable to push it right through so the blade reached the other end, but it should at least be a few inches into its brain.

"Since I'm going up against so many opponents, I can't even concentrate on one of them!" Lince complained as he rushed forward, wrapping from one of his arms tied around a monkey beast, flipping it in the air and dragging it down.

Lince then pulled down on the wrapping and pushed his dagger right into its neck, killing it in a single hit. Right after, his body seemed to vanish as a monkey tried to hit him, but Lince was now behind the monkey and could see his dagger in the back of its head. He then punched the sword's handle, pushing it right through the monkey's head, killing the second one on the spot.

Finally, for a moment, for the two of them there was silence.

The captain and the rest of his raggedy crew of twelve had made it on the beach.

"It looks like it's over. When those monkeys threw those rocks at our ship I was worried, but it looks like we traveled with the stronger monsters!" the captain cheered.

Right after, the others behind the captain cheered in succession while Zon and Lince looked at the beasts that were on the ground—three monkeys each they had taken care of.

"Those weren't regular beasts... and for them to be on the land of Pagna and not in another dimension, this is quite the strange thing. If these types of beasts ever got out onto Pagna it would be quite devastating for the general public as well as the warriors."

Zon didn't say anything, but it was clear that the beasts weren't normal by any means.

"We should head in deeper," Zon eventually said. "There aren't a lot of us, and fighting the beasts will slow us down."

"I must find the Golden Globe," Zon claimed. "I can't fight every beast we come across. Knowing there are others, we can't afford to be held up. My system states that you won't die, so I will go search for the Golden Globe!"

When Zon pointed into the jungle though, he so happened to be pointing at another figure that looked to be coming out of the jungle—eyes staring at them, that was seen towering around ten meters in height.

Not just a single set of eyes but four in total. When it continued to move out, its heavy footsteps could be felt vibrating the land, and finally its whole body could be seen clearly in view.

"That might be a little harder than the other monkeys," Lince claimed.

In front of them was a giant white monkey. Instead of a pair of eyes, it had two pairs totaling four eyes. Then, where the others had two tails, this monkey had three. It still had two pairs of arms totaling four like the others, but the sheer size of it made both of them know this beast was going to be far harder to face compared to the others.

"ARGHHH!" the beast roared mightily, deafening the ears of the pirates at the back.

It then started to bang its chest several times.

"Let's just be happy that we're not facing a gorilla," Lince claimed.

Although he soon would eat those words as the monkey was extremely agile even at its size as it jumped in the air, flipping itself right to Lince's position, and threw a fist into the ground. The sand kicked up everywhere, and Lince and Zon had jumped apart from each other.

The monkey then turned its eyes to Lince and went to strike at him. Luckily, Lince had used his wrapping around his arms and attached it to the floor and pulled himself away, causing the monkey to hit nothing but air.

The large monkey was relentless though as it continued to throw punch after punch at Lince, who was barely avoiding them all.

"Are you going to help me!" Lince shouted, noticing that Zon hadn't been targeted once and was just watching. "I thought both of us were partners."

"I must find the Golden Globe," Zon claimed. "I can't fight every beast we come across. Knowing there are others, we can't afford to be held up. My system states that you won't die, so I will go search for the Golden Globe!"

Just like that, Lince's trusted partner had run off into the jungle, leaving him all on his own.
