Battle of Ascension

Randy and Happy Guild encountered this group of a monkey amidst fishing out the Giant Worm. They thought they would go for a battle. However, a blue monkey that looked like the leader of the group cursed them.

What made Randy and the others flabbergasted was the monkey said they had committed an unforgivable sin.

This was the first Native they met who could speak a human language, yet what they got was a swear, from a monkey at that.

However, after swearing them, the blue monkey fell silent. To be more exact, it fell silent after looking at the back of Happy Guild. There was a giant worm which already dead. It was about twenty meters in diameter and an unknown length as half of its body was still inside the giant hole.

It was the first Divine Grade Giant Worm Randy fished out. The monkey fell silent right after looking at the giant worm. Secretly, the monkey leader exchanged glance toward one of its friend. It seemed it realized something.

Of course, all of this was looked by Randy. But Randy was at ease, he did not worry. The leader of the monkey group was Saint Grade, but it was the only one Saint Grade within the group. There were seven Eternal Grades and the rest was Mythical Grade and lower.

"Do you know what have you done? Do you know what you have killed?" Suddenly, the Monkey Leader shouted furiously once again.

However, no one responded to it. Randy kept his silence and the same for the others. Actually, Randy wanted to know what the Giant Worm was. It was quite weak, no blood essence could be taken from it, and all of the materials in its body just a waste. It was weak, useless, and low intelligence beast he ever met. However, the occupied the lightning essence.

Randy himself surprised by how weak they were. After all, the reason they did not harvest the essence directly because they were thinking the creature inside the hole, the Giant Worm was strong. However, now they found out it was weak.

A weak beast, but occupied the lightning essence mine amidst the other strong native with Lightning Elemental Power. This was quite strange. However, it seemed the giant worm could occupy the lightning essence mine without no reason. There must be a reason why the other native let the Giant Worm to occupy the mine. He wanted to know this from the monkey's leader mouth. Maybe, there was a big secret behind the weak and waster Giant Worm.

However, Monkey Leader's next words disappointed Randy.

"They are the pet of Thunder God! Do you know the Thunder God? Thunder God is the one who bestows the lightning essence here and now you killed God's pet." The Monkey Leader continued. It said it with full of solemness yet his voice contained anger.

"If Thunder God knows about this…" Here Monkey Leader paused.

"Thunder God's Wrath. You will receive God's wrath, you are done for!"

When the Monkey Leader said this, its face was full of fear and his body was trembling a little. It was showed how frightening it was when it mentioned God's wrath. It was as if the Monkey Leader witnessed or experienced the one so-called God's wrath.

"That is it?" Finally Randy was willing to respond. He responded to the Monkey Leader with a disappointment.

The Monkey Leader stunned, but its expression back to anger immediately. It tried to cover the surprise on its face, but Randy noticed it of course. His eyes never left the Monkey Leader since the start.

"I don't care about you guys and I don't want to get involved. Goodbye!" The anger vanished and now, it had a frightened look. It showed that the Monkey Leader was really afraid of the Thunder God.

"Slow!" Randy called and then, the Happy Guild member spread out. They surrounded the group of monkey. The monkey group comprised of twenty-seven blue monkeys. Happy Guild was outnumbering the blue monkey.

Seeing Happy Guild surrounded, the Monkey Leader Panicked.

"Go away! Don't involve us in your sin!"

The panic was real, but the reason was not. The reason the Monkey Leader panicked not because of Thunder. The reason was Happy Guild, Happy Guild who killed a Divine Grade Giant Worm.

"Heh, tell the truth! If you tell the truth, I might be considering to let you go!" Randy chuckled. He had seen through the Monkey Leader was lying to him.

The Monkey Leader realized his lies were being seen through. However, instead of panicking like before, the Monkey Leader calmly smiled.

"I already gave you a chance to live, but you did not appreciate it! I already sent my subordinates to call a reinforcement. It will not be a long before the reinforcement is coming. Let's see what will you do when my Chief come!"

Now, the Monkey Leader appeared to be complacent. In fact, it secretly praised himself deep inside its heart. Yes, when it noticed the dead body of the Divine Grade Giant Worm and the number of Happy Guild was more than his group. The Monkey Leader immediately sent his men to call a reinforcement. It praised itself how quick-witted it was.

"Do you meant this?" A cold voice resounded.

Plop!

Along with the voice, there was a thing fell toward the Monkey Leader's feet. The thing fell to his feet was head, a monkey head. It was his subordinate's head. The subordinate it ordered to call the reinforcement.

The Monkey Leader's face changed, but quick, it maintained its calmness. Then, it smiled once again and said, "Too bad, he was not the only one…"

Having not finished its words, the Monkey Leader stopped abruptly as he soon another four heads fell right before its feet. The Monkey Leader's expression drastically changed.

The Monkey Leader's expression turns ugly. It thought its plan perfect, but it did not expect its plan was seen through by the opposite party.

"One two… five!? Only five heads?" The Monkey Leader count the head, then he realized there was a head missing.

Yes, it sent six subordinates separately. It planned meticulously and cautiously. The Monkey Leader sent six subordinates just in case and now, it found one of his subordinates was not caught.

Once again, the Monkey Leader was smiling smugly. It thought the plan was successful. However, then, the smile froze as it found another thing fell right before his face.

Bugh!

The sixth subordinate in his mind which it thought successfully escape was dead. The sixth subordinate had the body intact, but one could see the heart was dug out as it found a hole in the chest.

The Monkey Leader looked up, looking straight toward Randy. Even though its heart was beating furiously, it kept calm on the surface. The Monkey Leader could not show that it was panicked.

The Monkey Leader took a deep breath and said with a solemn look, "Do you really want to against the Thunder God…"

The Monkey Leader tried to intimidate Randy and Happy Guild with the existence of Thunder God. However, Randy was sick hearing this. He waved his hand toward the group of the monkey.

"Kill them, just leave the leader alive!"

With those words, Happy Guild started swarmed toward the group of Monkey. 

"Wait! Wait… I can speak good words to Thunder God! I will help…" The Monkey Leader panicked. However, the Monkey Leader shout was useless as no one heard it.

There was no need for Randy and the other core members to make a move, the group of the monkey was taken down in a short time.

Just as Randy instructed them, they left the Monkey Leader alive.

Randy walked toward the Monkey Leader and interrogated it, "Tell me the secret behind the Giant Worm! I promise you if you tell me the secret, I will not kill you! We can sign an agreement here!"

Randy resorted a gentle mean, he knew if he forced it to speak, it won't speak as it knew he would kill it. So, Randy resorted a gentle mean to dig the secret behind the Giant Worm.

The Monkey Leader read the agreement and it immediately signed with a drop of its blood. It was as if it afraid Randy would go back in his words.

The clause was simple, only one clause. As long as the Monkey Leader told the secret behind the Giant Worm, Randy Christian would not kill it. The Monkey Leader found there was no hidden trick and it immediately dropped a drop of its blood. An agreement was signed by the two.

After that, the Monkey Leader told the secret behind the Giant Worm. That secret located at the bottom of the hole.

Randy used transformation skill and brought the Monkey Leader down to the hole. This Monkey was quite cunning and it could be seen from their first meeting.

As soon as it realized Randy's party was stronger than its group, it fabricated a lie about Thunder God to scare Randy's party. So, he brought the Monkey Leader down to the hole bottom.

Entering the hole, lightning assaulted both of them. But the lightning could not harm Randy and the Monkey Leader. Instead, the Monkey Leader had a blissful look as the lightning assaulted it. The Monkey Leader looked calm even its life was in Randy's hand. This meant it was not lying about the secret.

The hole of Divine Grade Giant Worm, it was about over a hundred meters deep. It took a while for Randy to reach the bottom and he found the secret behind the Giant Worm. The resource of the lightning essence, or to be more exact, the resource of the lightning essence was the Giant Worm's shit. The Giant Worm's dung was the resource of the lightning essence in the hole.

Randy took one of Giant Worm's dung and the information appeared in his eyes.
