Human King

Chapter 202: Ape Monster

---Hmm...this is hard.

Dawn thought as it was getting harder to decide right now about this whole situation and what he should do.

After all, it was indeed the truth that it was hard to decide in this situation if one was Dawn.

Dawn had to consider that the fact that the surprise factor is now gone, and that the enemies were actually ready for them.

Even if Dawn had actually killed a lot of enemies, that still doesn't matter when Dawn only got 45 goblins with him.

Well, considering that he got a monster like Oz waiting for him to call him, Dawn should have plenty of leisure in this situation since he was able to wipe out many monsters from the face of the earth.

That was why Dawn was seriously considering going back to kill off the rulers of the southeast of the forest.

---This is a chance...I can use Oz in this situation as well.

If I can just kill those two hyenas, everything should be fine even if I use Oz. Dawn thought as he decided to resume the attack on the hyenas even though the situation was messy as fuck right now.

After all, this would be the best time where Dawn could put out his secret trump card.

His enemies would have to regroup and recall the monsters before they would be able to have a stable command chain, and while they were doing that, the goblins can just kill them off or whatever they got to do to disrupt them.

And since the monsters wouldn't have a command chain right now, this would also be the perfect time to kill off the rulers of the southeast of the forest.

That was why Dawn decided to attack this time rather than later when the monsters would be able to regroup as one again.

"Good. Gather the goblins up and we would return back to that mess." Dawn said as he looked down on Didi.

Of course, Didi was just looking down on the ground without even looking at Dawn.

Even though what Dawn just said was something insane and unreasonable, Didi didn't question it or something like that.

He just trusted Dawn's decisions and words...no, he would just do whatever Dawn wanted him to do, and that was a fact for every other goblin existing in this place, which is why none of them was stirred up or something like that.

Of course, when he heard his order, Didi quickly looked back at the goblins to come and get them.

No...he looked at the goblins to make sure that they heard what the king said. 

After all, there was no need to gather up the goblins when they were already here in this place.

And when Didi looked back, he saw the goblins looking determined and ready to die.

Each of them had that strong fire that seems like it would just burn for eternity.

Even though they were all weak, as long as the goblins themselves would want to push themselves to be stronger, the goblins would definitely be able to fight against stronger opponents.

That was why this was something Didi was happy to see.

"King, we are ready." Didi said as he whipped his head back to look at his king.

However, his king was no longer looking at him as Dawn was looking at the mess that he made.

"Hmmm..." Dawn hummed as he looked at the blood that was still ravaging the forest.

However, it seems that the blood has calmed down now since it wasn't taking down any trees or something like that.

Right, the wave was so fierce that it brought down some trees on the way of flooding the forest.

Of course, it was something that Dawn wanted to see since this would mean that...the monsters he hasn't killed would be down there as well.

That would mean that it was less work for him and his goblins.

However, this was not the reason why he was looking at the blood, which is why he quickly went to work.

He quickly went to work as he used his senses to try and feel the hyenas that he failed to kill before.

---Where are they...

Dawn thought as he closed his eyes to focus on just finding the hyenas with his senses alone. Since Dawn was able to find the goblins with his senses while running, he should be able to find the hyenas better and faster now that he was focusing on this task alone.

However, maybe because the hyenas ran away too far from the wave of blood, or maybe because they were just good at hiding themselves, Dawn couldn't find them at all.

He couldn't feel them even though he was focusing on this task with all that he could.

---Hmm...strange.

Dawn thought as it was indeed strange for him to not feel them when he was literally near them a few seconds ago.

It would be weird for them to disappear just like that in this place, and that was something not possible unless they could teleport or something like that.

---I can't feel them at all, even though I can feel other monsters.

Right, Dawn could feel some other monsters in this place, dead or alive.

He could feel their corpses plopping down the ground with the help of the river of blood in the forest, and he could also feel the monsters that were still alive.

They were all scattered in the forest, but none of them reminded Dawn of the hyenas that he battled before.

However, there was one monster that caught Desire's attention when he was trying to find the hyenas, and this monster was...

---The ape that the hyenas were riding on before when they first appeared in this place.

Dawn thought as he opened his eyes. Since this ape was the monster that Papi and Mabi rode on when they appeared in this place, Dawn thought that it should be fine for him to try and track their trace down using the ape.

After all, if Dawn's instincts were right, they should be using that ape to somehow move and hide from Dawn's instincts.

What's more, Dawn could somehow feel that they were indeed there, near the ape monster that they rode on before when they first appeared in this place.

This is why Dawn was pretty confident about using the ape to track down the hyenas that he couldn't find.

It was then that Dawn turned around to look at his goblins - his goblins that were ready to die for him.

"Follow me." He said as he soon pointed at his left side with his finger to indicate where they would be going.

Right, he pointed in the direction where the ape monster was located, and as soon as he did that, he soon disappeared just like that.

Well, that was just because Dawn was already on the way to his destination, and he was just too fast for the goblins to see.

Of course, when they noticed that their king was no longer here, Didi spoke as he turned in the direction where Dawn disappeared into, "Follow the king!"

And as soon as he said those words, Didi, too, disappeared into the forest as he followed right after his king.

There was just no way that they would want to fall behind now that they know that what they would do next is to attack the rulers of the southeast of the forest.

It was a moment for them to revenge their fallen comrades, and it was a moment for them...to finally unleash their inner savages and kill monsters that they could possibly kill.

That was why...when Didi hyped up the goblins, all of the goblins followed right after him as they, too, disappeared into the woods.

And the one who made the goblins run back into a huge mess such as the river of blood, Dawn was....he was currently jumping from one tree to another as he just focused on the ape monster with his senses.

He didn't want to lose the ape monster now that he knew its general location or something like that.

What's more, Dawn didn't know if the ape monster could hide from him.

If the rulers of the southeast of the forest, the hyenas, Papi and Mabi, were able to hide from Dawn's senses because of the intervention of the ape monster, it would mean that the ape monster definitely can hide from Dawn's senses, and that is something Dawn didn't want to happen.

That was why he was focusing on the ape monster more than he needs to, and it seems that it was something beneficial to Dawn as he didn't lose the monster at all.

And since he didn't lose the monster at all, he was able to reach its destination since the ape monster didn't move from his spot.

And as soon as Dawn reached the ape monster's location, he...stopped at a tree as he tried to look for the hyenas in this place.

"Hmmm..." Dawn hummed as he kept his senses sharp and clear.
