A Mutant Beast... (2)

The Monkey King, reacting on instinct, dodged the first two daggers, but in doing so, it unknowingly moved into the path Leon had intended.

A grin spread across Leon's face as the Monkey King found itself exactly where he wanted it.

He lunged forward, his katana flashing in a deadly arc. The blade sliced through the air, cutting deep into the Monkey King's side. The beast howled in pain, its eyes wide with shock as blood sprayed from the wound.

But this wasn't enough to stop the King. With a furious roar, it activated its Qi, the golden energy enveloping its body growing brighter.

Leon barely had time to react as the Monkey King unleashed another sonic shockwave, the sound crashing into Leon like a physical force. He staggered back, his ears ringing and his vision blurred.

The Monkey King didn't waste a second. It charged forward, its claws glowing with Qi as it aimed for Leon's chest.
