Chapter 51: Chapter 51: White Ape Sword Saint with Dual Blades Makes an Entrance

Simply put, Double Return is a move that returns a physical attack received to the attacker with double the force.

If you successfully predict the enemy’s attack and use Double Return, the enemy is generally done for, if not dead then severely maimed.

The very next second after Leon’s sword struck the Slime, he experienced the same fate as some modern top sorcerer—

Bisected!

"Ugh!"

Leon’s eyes widened as he fell to the ground amid everyone’s shouts, with blood gushing like a fountain.

In the few seconds before he lost consciousness, he saw his own lower half standing in place.

What on earth happened!?

When he awoke again, what he saw was Drew’s thick beard, as the latter placed his furry hand on Leon’s waist, searching back and forth.

"Finally awake," Drew wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "It wasn’t easy to heal you. Luckily, I had asked the Priest to inscribe several Healing Magic Scrolls, and with my best efforts, I managed to prevent you from dying."

Dwarf Drew, despite his rugged appearance, is actually a Mage with a formal degree from the Magic Association.

He specializes in supportive types of Magic, such as healing, speed enhancement, and offensive boosts, handling these skills with ease. In emergencies, he would also take out the giant axe at his back and join the battlefield himself.

Leon, as if drained of vitality, covered his face and said, "What’s the deal with that blue Monster..."

Maru looked at him concernedly and said, "I heard it’s a newly discovered Monster, boss," "Many have encountered it already. It’s said that once it steps on your shadow, you can’t run away. There are lots of requests in the Guild to capture a live one,"

"I know that..."

Leon gritted his teeth with a creak and growled, "What I’m asking is why it can reflect my attacks!"

"It looks so dumb, so why can it use such advanced Magic, why!"

It seems like he confused Pokemon abilities with Magic.

"[Calming Technique]"

Seeing that Leon was on the verge of breaking down, Drew quickly cast a spell to calm his emotions.

A green light flashed over his head, and Leon, like a monk that attained enlightenment, instantly regained a clear expression.

"Sorry, I shouldn’t have lost my temper..."

He slowly sat up, feeling a pain in his waist, but under the influence of the Calming Technique, even the pain was reduced.

"Boss, let me help you," Tal grabbed his arm.

Due to Indeedee’s sudden appearance, Leon only managed to slay half of the tree-man before he fell unconscious. After his collapse, everyone had fought a battle to temporarily clear the area.

After resting a bit, they had to continue on their way because more Monsters were attracted by the commotion here.

Although Leon was tricked by Indeedee earlier due to insufficient information, as a seasoned Silver Rank adventurer, he still had strength and quickly led everyone out of the encirclement.

Compared to the Strategy Group, the mid-level Monsters were barely a challenge.

Whether it was jumping skeletons or groups of Animated Corpse Knights, they only felt pressure at the first encounter. Once accustomed to the Monsters’ attack rhythms, they would no longer get hurt.

The only thing that was mentally unsettling for everyone was—

Seeing the same kinds of giant rats as in Sick Village here...

These rats had green skin instead of brown, spores instead of pustules, and parasitic plants instead of maggots on their bodies.

But isn’t this just a reskin!

When Tal smashed some giant rats with a hammer, the spores on their bodies burst immediately, releasing a nauseating stench that even a little inhalation could induce terrifying illusions.

No lethality, but it greatly stimulated the mind, naturally liberating more spiritual power.

Besides the giant rats, those monkeys that threw feces were also here!

And their equipment had upgraded!

From throwing poorly shaped fecal clumps to Feces Pots, hitting someone hurt more and was more insulting!

And they would get poisoned too!

Drew kept a stern face as he expanded the Magic Barrier, the range was large enough to cover all his comrades, which also meant a greater consumption of his Magic Power.

But that didn’t matter, even if their Magic Power was exhausted, they absolutely did not want to get smeared with feces!

On this point, whether it was the Strategy Group or ordinary adventurers like Steeran, there was absolute consensus.

Looking at it, the team was lacking in long-range attackers; Petain could have used air blasts to attack the enemies from afar, but he was missing now.

This left the Strategy Group helpless against the monkeys in the trees, only able to pick up stones from the ground to throw at them.

Magic Scrolls could be used to kill the monkeys from distance, but it wasn’t worth it as these bastards were not that harmful.

"I really want to rush out there and finish them off..." Tal’s hands clenched his weapon as veins bulged.

"Don’t be impulsive," Maru solemnly said, "If you get smeared with that stuff, no laundry shop in the entire city will welcome you,"

"We can’t just sit here doing nothing! The monkeys are gathering in greater numbers!"

"No,"

Leon suddenly said,

"Haven’t you noticed? They are deliberately leading us somewhere,"

"Eh?" Maru expressed surprise: "I didn’t notice at all,"

"The feces is blocking my view, I can’t see a thing," Tal grumbled.

"Drew, can you maintain the Barrier Skill while preparing a large-area magic?" Leon asked.

"I’ll try!" Drew said, "But it will take a long time, help me pour the Magic Potion in my mouth, I can’t spare my hands,"

While pouring the potion, Leon explained:

"Although the surroundings are all forest, the further we go, the narrower the space becomes. These twisted trees are like walls blocking the space on both sides, these monkeys are using our anger to lead us to a narrow place, a trap."

"Boss, your choice of metaphor is a bit awkward,"

"We’ll turn their trick against them and catch them all with magic!"

Indeed, Leon, being an experienced adventurer, was absolutely right.

A few minutes later, the monkeys’ sly attack finally stopped.

"Squeak, squeak,"

The continuous sharp screams echoed around, chilling to the bone, countless pairs of eyes glowing faintly in the dark staring at them.

The area was tightly enclosed by impenetrable trees, forming a natural circular Colosseum, surprisingly, the area here was not narrow, but rather spacious.

Several logs were scattered randomly in the field, their purpose unknown.

"Why aren’t these monkeys coming down?"

Leon frowned, feeling like he had missed something.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

The calls of the monkey group suddenly became intense, even the ground trembled as if something was about to emerge.

"Everyone, get ready for battle,"

He drew his Longsword, staring at the treetops.

On the treetop, a white figure leisurely hung from a branch, flanked by a pair of long blades gleaming coldly.

Leon narrowed his eyes.

That looked like a... white-haired monkey?
