LEGEND OF TWIN SWORDS

SURROUNDED

" Grandpa, don't you feel weird!!" Bruce's questioning voice broke the silence in the forest.

"Blowing smoke from his pipe" Arthur with a smile said to Bruce.

"There's nothing strange about the current situation, everything is normal" Arthur replied back.

"But grandpa??? Can't you also see that this forest is too quiet!!!" Bruce replied unsurely and tried to tell Arthur.

He, who had lived close to the forest and the beach since he was a child, was familiar with the situation in them, so that at this time he faced the silence in the forest.

He knew something was out of the ordinary, because from what he could tell this would only happen if, there was a huge or tyrannical beast of strength inhabiting the forest.

So you can be sure that other animals will stay away and avoid it, thus making the forest quiet.

On the other hand, there is a natural disaster that is approaching so that then the animals that live in the forest will immediately flee to a place far away.

And for the rest, various possibilities can occur, but based on Bruce's experience he knows that the two possibilities above are the most likely to describe the situation they are currently facing.

But on the other hand, after thinking about it further, Bruce also realized that the figure of Arthur's grandfather who was sitting casually beside him was not just anyone or someone to be underestimated.

Even though he didn't know how famous Arthur was or how powerful he was, from what he had heard from his grandfather, Arthur was one of the strongest magicians he knew.

On the other hand he also still remembers how the city lord was polite to Arthur, if only relying on status then Bruce would be the first to argue against it, because that was too conspicuous.

There is only one possibility that is certain, that apart from status, Arthur's grandfather is also a very powerful figure, so the city lord must respect him.

And thinking of a strong man like Arthur's grandfather saying that everything was normal in this forest, Bruce who originally just swallowed Arthur's words.

Being speechless and thinking harder, what exactly did grandpa Arthur mean?

Seeing that Bruce didn't ask any further questions and was just silently thinking about something, there was a gentle smile on Arthur's face.

He deliberately said that, only to train Bruce and teach him to be more broad-minded and not narrow in concluding things.

Moreover, it is clear that this time with the fire monkey, which can be said to be a very dangerous beast, is a suitable whetstone to forge Bruce into a tougher young person.

Of course, all of that was within his calculations and protection, because the fire monkey couldn't deal significant damage at its current level, and it was different for Bruce who was still a rookie.

While the two of them were busy thinking about each of their thoughts, behind the shady treesThousand of ferocious-looking fire monkeys were now lurking for the whereabouts of Arthur and Bruce.

The fire monkeys had sharp claws and long fangs in their mouths, with red eyes they looked very scary.

There is a very clear characteristic that can be seen from these fire monkeys, the bigger their body size, the sharper and longer the nails and fangs they have.

And of all the fire monkeys, there appears to be a large fire monkey that has a body the size of a cow, perched proudly on the top of a large tree right in the middle of the monkeys.

Judging by its size and demeanor this was definitely the fire monkey king.

Squeak…. A voice of command was heard from the fire monkey king.

That immediately made the entire monkey armywho had been on alert immediately let out a scream.

"Uuuu…..aaaa…..uuuuu…..aaaa" the screams coming from theThousand of monkey troops immediately made the quiet forest become bustling.

And Arthur and Bruce, who are now alert, when they hear their monkey counterparts now have different expressions.

There was concern on Bruce's face, and without much delay he took out the cutlass he managed to craft before he and Arthur left his house.

As for Arthur himself he still looked relaxed only then he said " you can't hesitate when facing these fire monkeys Bruce, be ruthless because if you hesitate they will attack you brutally" a reminder sounded from Arthur.

Hearing the advice Arthur gave him, Bruce Pun answered obediently.

"Okay grandpa I know" he understood that the current state of affairs was not something to be trifled with, let alone facing a fire monkey.

an enemy he had never met. Bruce had a deep anticipation in his heart.

Not long ago a rumbling sound from the trees around Bruce and Arthur were heard, and this indicated that the troop of monkey troops had approached them with a short speed.

And judging from the large movements made by the monkey troops, Bruce estimated that there were hundreds of them.

Just imagining that number Bruce had to admit that his heart was shaking quite a bit, if not for the figure of Arthur's grandfather who was beside him maybe he would have run to save himself.

No need to wait too long, in just a dozen seconds a group of fire monkeys had surrounded them.

The fire monkeys stood on top of the trees around them and formed a circle, clearly meaning not to let the two get away.

Seeing what the monkeys were doing, Bruce realized that their IQ seemed pretty good.

"Don't be careless, this is just an opening, wait for the monkey king to come, then you can move" Arthur's voice was heard again guiding Bruce.

And sure enough, like what Arthur's grandfather said, the monkeys' movements just stopped making a circle around them, and there was no intention of carrying out further attacks.

It was only when a louder roar came from behind the monkeys that Bruce realized that the fire monkey king had arrived.

"He's coming" Arthur's soft voice sounded again.

Pointing in the direction the roar was coming from, a gray figure with bloodshot eyes and a sinister look appeared in front of Arthur and Bruce.

Looking at the monkey king who looked so domineering, Bruce had to say that he was worthy of the title of fire monkey king.

With the size of a cow and the fangs and nails so long, Bruce could imagine that whoever the fire monkey king caught was definitely not a good thing.

"Uaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" in a loud voice the fire monkey king shouted to Arthur and Bruce.

For a moment Bruce's ears were ringing and he seemed dizzy, only when Arthur knocked Bruce's body with his wand did he regain consciousness.

"Ug…..grandpa…just me??" With a slightly confused face Bruce asked Arthur.

"You just got a mental attack from the fire monkey king" replied Arthur.

Seeing that the mental attack that was carried out failed the monkey king but also became angry, because this indicated that the 2 intruders who were in front of him at this time were clearly opposing the authority he had.

So then with another scream he looked at the monkey troop he had, I ordered them to attack the two intruders immediately.

And without waiting for a long time, hundreds of fire monkeys shouted and in unison jumped from the top of the tree rushing towards Arthur and Bruce.

"Now you prepare to face the brand from your side Bruce and let Grandpa take care of the rest" Arthur returned to give guidance.

"Okay grandpa" heard Arthur's order without much delay Bruce jumped from the oxcart to the side and bravely started slashing at the monkeys.

"You die...

Shua...the sound of a sword slashing was heard.

And immediately one fire monkey split in two, seeing that his friend died the other fire monkeys became furious and immediately started to focus their attention on bruce.

Fortunately since he was small apart from learning to forge, he was also taught martial art skills by his grandfather and on the other hand he also learned some magic to protect himself.

Reciting the spell "By Your power give me strength, sheath of ice…" a spell scream was heard from Bruce's mouth and from there instead of being sharp his sword became covered with cold looking ice.

Slashing....slashing sound was heard again and this time the fire monkey that was hit by Bruce's slash turned into an ice sculpture.

Seeing this, the fire monkey who was originally tough became a coward and shouted angrily at Bruce, but from his steps they seemed to stay away from him.

"Uuuuaa…..uaaaaaaaa" the disgruntled voices of many fire monkeys could be heard.

"Good…. you use ice elemental magic, that's one powerful weapon against them" Arthur said again to Bruce.

Seeing them retreating, Bruce immediately approached the cart again and when he turned around to see grandpa Arthur's situation, his mouth immediately opened wide.

"Ahhhhh…..grandpa ... .how….could!!!!!" With an expression of surprise and disbelief Bruce saw something that seemed to surprise him.

The scene that Bruce saw when he turned around was a scene he would never forget, where right now in front of his eyes grandpa Arthur still looked like he was having fun sucking cigarette from his pipe.

Only on the other side, 1 meter from his grandfather's position, hundreds of monkeys seemed frozen and did not move, forming a wall of statues made of fire monkeys.

This was of course very surprising to Bruce who would never have thought that Arthur's grandfather would so easily subdue hundreds of fire monkeys.

Not to mention when he noticed more clearly that the fire monkeys had faces full of disbelief as they turned into statues.

" Why are you quiet?" Arthur asked casually to Bruce.

"That….that…grandpa….how could you!!!!!" With a confused and surprised tone Bruce stammered.

"Practice and you will be able to do this magic…..but for your current level there is still a long way to go" Arthur answered back.
