Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 339: Peak-Tier Battle

One could see silhouettes of different animals appearing in the Smoke Zone. One second it looked like a serpent crawling silently towards the witless prey, in the next, it looked like a crouching wolf ready to descend on its prey.

But the Hyena Boss wasnt any weaker. Although it didnt have a zone just yet, its destructive power was above the Monkey Kings. Its ice element was slowing its opponent while damaging with every attack. Although the initial ice meteor was stopped by the smokescreen, by aiming smaller monkeys at the back, the Hyena Boss forced the Monkey King to defend its children in exchange for taking some damage.

The smokescreen was fluid. At first, it was covering the Monkey King but as soon as the Hyena Boss aimed its back, the Monkey King willed the smokescreen to thin out and spread at its back. The smokescreen, like a waterfall, covered the area behind the King and protected its children fighting at the back. Although there were also Hyenas there, the Boss didnt care about its underlings, and thus attacked without any care in the world.

Since it was able to deal with the zone, the Boss forced the King to use other means it was hiding. As it swung the branch from the top of the Boss's head, the King raised his other hand and pointed at the back of the Boss. All of a sudden, several silhouettes appeared all around the battlefield. The Boss was an experienced monster who had survived many death battles and thus felt the existence of new creatures appeared out of nowhere.

When it looked, it saw tens of Monkey King smirking at him with the same branch in their hands. The Boss growled in bother as it ran towards the original it was fighting from the beginning. When it arrived, it stabbed its foreclaw towards the King at speed of sound but the claw passed through the body of the Monkey King as if it was just smoke, which it was. Before the Boss could lament its mistake, all the other Kings attacked from every side, but only one felt real. The rod met with the Bosss back and plastered it to the ground.

ROAR! The Boss shouted in anger and swiped its claws towards the King that hurt him. Although there were tens of them, only one of them felt real. It still knew where the pain originated from. But when its claw met with the King again, the latter vanished like smoke. This mistake cost the Boss dearly as it was hit from the back once again.

It is like your technique. Miles pointed to the battlefield. He was battling but he was keeping an eye out.

Yeah, he can switch places with one of the clones. It is a secret technique of our family. But here, a monster can do it too. Alex commented in surprise. The family art he was practicing allowed him to create an ultimate as soon as he advanced to the Form-Rank by using the power of nature. One of the side techniques also allowed him to switch places with his ultimate. Although it wasnt that big of a secret, he didnt think a monster could do it as well.

The Boss was sent flying by the King and had two injuries on its back. Its inner organs were also in turmoil. But by releasing some of its ice energy into its body, it was able to seal the open wounds and delay the side effects of its mistake. It rose onto its leg and looked at the King in hatred. Icy air started to surround the battlefield. In the next second, it took the shape of a dog-like creature before its true form was finally revealed. It still looked a lot like a hyena but this one was even more vicious. Its tail was like a snake. It was moving eerily in the air and even had a snakehead. Its four legs were thicker than the Boss, while its fangs were longer than its legs.

The Boss also unleashed its ultimate. It was probably the ancestor of the Boss as it waited behind it. When the Boss dashed forward, the ultimate followed behind. There were still many clones around, but the Boss ignored them. It was dashing towards the one at the back as if it was sure that one was the King.

It wasnt wrong either. Its instincts allowed him to locate the real body, but the King could switch places as it wished. When the Boss was in front of its real body, it just switched places with one behind the Boss and attacked with its rod. But this time, it failed. The giant silhouette stopped the rod with its snake tail and opened its giant maw to take a bite from the King. The King had to let go of the rod to fall back.

Now that he let go of its weapon, it was a sitting duck. All the other clones were still holding rods, and the Boss knew which was one real. The King snorted in displeasure as he swung its arm. A rod made of smoke appeared in its hand as he also dashed towards the Boss. When they were about to meet, it switched places again. The Boss snorted in boredom as its ultimate was about to attack but things were different this time. Without it realizing the King called back its zone and had covered the battlefield slowly. Now that it was in its zone once again, its ultimate got a lot stronger.

The clones were ethereal before but now they could attack too. Before the Boss could react, the King attacked from all sides and beat the Boss to the lump. The Boss could not fight back while tens of rods were hitting everywhere on its body. In no time at all, it was killed by the boss.

Seeing their boss had been killed, all the other Hyenas wanted to run away but it was too late. The smokescreen covered the area and trapped them where they were. Monkeys used this chance to kill all of them while Miles and others waited at the side. Now that the danger was over, they didnt have to fight.
