Chapter 96: Strange Place. Victor was in front of an animal that looked more like a gorilla. He was a huge gorilla over 15 meters tall, muscular, had black fur and red eyes, and was sitting like he was enjoying the moonlight. "Gorilla, banana, Gorilla. Me, leader, banana, Gorilla." The gorilla turns his face and looks at Victor and sees him making strange gestures while pointing to the black bananas on the ground. The gorilla exhibited a strange face, and the only thing he thought was; 'Is he a fool?' Somehow the gorilla was enjoying what Victor was doing and started clapping his hands as if to say to continue. "..." Victor was speechless when he saw the gorilla's attitude. "This isn't working..." Victor gets up off the floor and pats his clothes to dust them off. "Hmm... How do I tame this creature?" Victor's eyes sparkled. He wanted to tame this creature. He wanted his own King Kong! "Urru, Urru! "What?" The gorilla pointed to the piles of black bananas. "Oh, take it. I can't eat them anyway." Victor threw a banana in the direction of the gorilla, who caught it quite easily. Victor tried to taste the banana before, but for him, it had the worst taste in the world. "Urru, Urru!" The gorilla looked happy. "Yeah yeah. Whatever." Victor spoke as if he understood him, but the question is: does he understand!? Of course not! But just like the other animals he came in contact with in the past, he could understand the creature's intentions, and the gorilla is far more intelligent than other animals, so he can understand it a little. "Hmm, I should have asked someone about taming a gorilla." Victor sat down on the floor and put a hand to his chin in a bored way. He was wondering what to do next. The gorilla looked at Victor, and his eyes sparkled with curiosity as he got up from the tree he was leaning against and approached Victor, then sat down next to him. "Oh?" Victor looked at Gorilla, who was beside him with only a pile of bananas separating the two. "What's up, Big Guy. Do you want more bananas?" "Urru, Urru!" "I see... Take as much as you want." The gorilla started eating bananas. "Hmm..." Victor was watching the gorilla eating the food so exquisitely. Somehow, he was curious. "Is this really that good?" Too bad he couldn't eat. "Urru!" The gorilla pointed to the pile of bananas when he saw Victor's gaze. He seemed to be offering it to Victor; he was a polite gorilla. "Unfortunately, I can't eat, Big Guy. Look." Victor bared his fangs. When the gorilla saw Victor's fangs, he understood what Victor was saying, and with a sudden movement, the gorilla got up and walked towards the tree he was sitting on. He opens the hull of the tree and grabs something, then he goes back to Victor and sits down on the ground. Suddenly, he throws a large amount of items on the ground. "Oh?" Victor looked at the items in curiosity. The items looked like a completely red type of fruit. "What is that?" He inspected the fruit. "Urru, Urru!" "I can get it?" The gorilla nodded, then went back to eating the banana Victor had brought. Victor takes the fruit, "Oh? It's quite soft. It looks like jelly." "Urru!" Victor looked at the gorilla and saw the gorilla pointing to its mouth. "Oh, do you want me to eat?" "Urru, Urru!" "... Hmm. Well, why not?" Victor took the fruit and put it in his mouth, suddenly the fruit seemed to burst, and a red liquid came down in Victor's mouth. "!!!" It tasted delicious like he had drunk apple juice when he was human. Unconsciously, he started to pick more fruit and put it in his mouth. "Urru, Urru!" The gorilla started clapping. The fruit was not as tasty as his wives' blood, but it was quite nice! Wait... If he can eat these fruits, then... "Is this blood?" Victor looked at the fruit, and then he looked at the tree, he focused his attention more on the tree, and he could see the tree was moving! "What the fuck! It is alive!" He quickly gets up from the ground. "Urru, Urru!" The gorilla started to laugh at him. "Shut up! I didn't know this kind of creature existed, okay!?" "Urru, Urru!" He started to clap his hands. "Ugh, the language barrier is tough." Victor thought this was how a foreigner felt when he went to a country that didn't know the local language. "But what is this?" Victor examined the tree, and, just out of curiosity, he touched the tree's hull. When Victor touched the tree's hull, something happened. Slowly, the tree began to send her branches onto his hand and began to wrap around his arms. He was scared at first, but... He didn't feel threatened. In fact, he feels welcome? Victor looks at the tree hull that the gorilla opened, and out of curiosity, he looks inside, and inside the tree hull, he sees several skeletons. He focused his attention on the skeletons. "Fangs..." What he saw was clearly a vampire skeleton, and he could also see some human skeletons mixed together. "This place…" He pulls back a little and looks around, "This place evolved to devour beings." Victor clearly saw the result of the beings that approached this place. "But... Why don't I feel threatened?" He was feeling a strange feeling in his heart. "Master, why are you-…Master? What are you doing!?" Suddenly the atmosphere of the gorilla and the tree changed from peaceful to hostile. ROOOOOOOAARRRRRRRR! The gorilla roared towards Kaguya. "!!?" Kaguya quickly covers her body with darkness and prepares to fight. The gorilla began to approach Kaguya with hostile intentions. He didn't even look like the peaceful gorilla that Victor was with and completely changed his attitude when Kaguya appeared. Seeing that Kaguya is in danger, Victor takes a step towards her, and soon he disappears and then reappears in front of Kaguya. "Kaguya, step back." "B-But, Master." "Do as I say!" Victor's eyes sparkled. "O-Okay." Kaguya was a little startled by Victor's gaze, but she quickly ran in the opposite direction. Realizing that Kaguya was safe, Victor's body relaxed a little. Victor cracks his neck and looks at the gorilla, as his smile grows: "Hey, Big Guy. Let's have some fun?" He didn't even try to talk to pacify the gorilla. ROOOOOOOARRRR! The gorilla roared and thumped its chest in a sign of defiance. "That's the spirit!" A frightening pressure left Victor's body. Victor jumps towards the gorilla and attacks him! The gorilla does the same and swings his big arms as he attacks Victor. The gorilla expected Victor to fly away when he attacked him. After all, he was tiny compared to his size, right? But the reality he expected didn't happen. The two fists collide in the air! BOOOOOOOOM! And for a moment, the sound of a crash of air was heard. And an unexpected result happened, the gorilla pulled away and fell to the ground sitting up! "Urru?" The gorilla looked at Victor in disbelief. He didn't expect this result. "Tsk." Victor clicked his tongue in annoyance when he saw his broken arm; 'If it were Scathach, that gorilla would have flown far. I'm still weak!' In less than 7 seconds, his arm was completely regenerated, and he looked at the gorilla, then he positioned himself again: "Let's continue~." Seeing Victor's smile, the gorilla displayed a small smile that showed all of his fangs. "Heh~? I like that smile." The gorilla gets up from the ground. He had completely forgotten about Kaguya, and all that was in his head now was Victor! ROOOOOOOOARRR! BAAAM! BAAAM! He roared at Victor as he hit his chest several times; this time, he was serious! Victor's smile grew disproportionately, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed like a maniac. "That's the spirit, Big Guy!" The magic circles on Victor's glove began to glow blood red. "Let's fight!" ROOOOOOOOAR! The gorilla roared as if saying the same thing as Victor, and, with speed disproportionate to his size, he appeared in front of Victor and punched him in the face! "Wha-?" Victor didn't expect this speed coming from someone so big! BOOOOOOOOM! A sonic boom was heard, and soon Victor's body flew skyward. "HAHAHAHAHA!" Despite having some broken body parts, he laughed! He felt it! This pain! It's the same as when he was training, and it's also the sign that he was facing a strong opponent! Victor's body regenerated in midair, and soon he created an ice shelf behind him and, using the ice shelf as support, he flew towards the gorilla! In midair, Victor's hands began to get covered by an ice glove. And like a rocket, it hits the Gorilla's face, "ORAA!" BOOOOOOOOM! A bang was heard as Victor punched the Gorilla in the face, and this time as he got momentum, the gorilla was thrown back by his strength, then just as the gorilla's body was going to fall to the ground: "It's not over yet, Big Guy!" Victor appears under the gorilla and holds it! "Urru!?" The gorilla didn't believe what he was witnessing. He was heavy, you know!? With a show of strength, "AHHH!" Victor threw the Gorilla in the air! Victor points both his palms at the gorilla. Fussshhhhhh Fire and ice began to be created in front of him. "HAAA!" Soon this power flew towards the gorilla. "!!!" Realizing the danger, the gorilla did something that only increased Victor's smile. The gorilla's body appeared to be covered in some kind of black material. BOOOOOM! The two powers collide against the Gorilla's armor, and a tremendous amount of smoke is created. ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The gorilla roared in midair and blasted away all the smoke created by the attack. And Victor can clearly see a gorilla wearing full-length black armor! "HAHAHAHAHA!" Victor began to applaud in genuine happiness, "You're the best, Big Guy!" "Master... You are an incorrigible man." Kaguya, who was watching everything from a tree at a considerable distance, couldn't help but say that when she saw Victor's smile. ...
