The moment Creed activated Empowerment, an overwhelming surge of energy flooded his body.
His muscles tightened, his vision sharpened, and his body crackled with pure, volatile power. But even with this boost—
The Stage 5 Monkey stood before them like a walking calamity.
It wasn't just big. It wasn't just fast. It was a nightmare!
Ivy had already warned them. This beast was the absolute peak of a dimensional beast, just one step below a Beast Lord. And they had just provoked such a calamity!
Roar!
The Stage 5 Monkey let out a deafening roar, shaking the entire forest with its monstrous voice.
The sheer force of it sent leaves spiraling into the air, and even the ground beneath them cracked under the pressure of its voice alone.
Its pure white fur bristled as it hunched forward, its pitch black tail coiling like a whip, ready to strike.
And then—
It moved.
BOOM!
The sheer force of its step shattered the ground, sending a shockwave of debris flying in every direction.
