The monster froze.
Michael froze too.
They stared at each other in silence.
Michael glanced around the cave, then looked back at the ape.
"…No wonder this place looked like a dwelling. You must have been away for so long that your traces had long since washed off. Or is this just one of your hideouts?"
Michael activated Detect.
[Ironback Mountain Ape]
[Grade: Extraordinary ★★★]
[Rank: 4]
[Level: 85]
Michael raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
The ape's eyes immediately turned bloodshot.
ROOOAR!
It threw away the prey in its hand and rushed forward, its massive fist smashing toward Michael like a falling boulder.
Michael calmly raised one hand.
BANG!
His palm caught the fist directly. The impact exploded outward. The cave could not withstand the force at all. Cracks spread across the walls before the entire structure burst apart. Rocks flew everywhere as dust filled the air.
A heartbeat later, the cave was gone.
