章 46: Don't care about them!

Chapter 46: Don't care about them!

Before the fight could take place, Michu suddenly turned around. Within his eyes, a reflection of the witch spread. As he smiled, Michu called her out, "Sandra! Fight with me!" Fortunately for the witch, Michu didn't use any ambiguous words.

The crowd was so big Sandra had been feeling like she was in the stadium!

"Isn't it your battle?" She awkwardly replied, avoiding eye contact.

The monke raised his eyes, wondering what'd happened. Many whispers spread across the crowd, locking their eyes on Sandra. It looked like she became smaller and less significant and no smile could be seen on her.

Finally, Michu understood something, "Sandra! Just ignore them!" The crowd's eyes would be the same as the viewers' eyes, so the video Michu wanted to make would hurt Sandra if she were really conscious of others.

In his life, Michu had faced many people and he learned how to ignore them. He even sometimes responded to the insults. However, he never backed off if someone spoke badly about his family!

Sandra's anxiousness felt familiar, so under many players' eyes, Michu turned heels and approached her, "Tomorrow, they will all forget about us." He smiled, "Do you remember the faces of each bystander?" It was valuable advice that Michu kept close to his heart. It was given to him by Nana. "I am sure she would be happy if she knew that it helped you too. Nana likes you!"

Feeling her hands held by the rough monke's hands, Sandra raised her eyes and looked at him while biting her lips. She would have never expected that the monke would gather this much attention; at least on early levels.

It was different from the dungeon where parties were split and every player's eyes were forced to look around cautiously.

In this place, the crowd either looked at them or the Sword Mistress.

Some even already began to complain that Yakuzan had been waiting for too long!

"It's impossible, Michu... My heart can't take it," Sandra shook her head and replied dejectedly. She hid her face beneath her hat and even closed her eyes while still feeling Michu's hands.

The monke was at a loss of words, but as sensitive as he was, Michu knew he couldn't press further. He left the last words, "I hope you will stay here and watch me! I have been looking at others' deeds and battles for most of my life, so I also want to become someone that people can look at. I don't like being leech! And I want my friend to enjoy our quests! Hehe!"

"I won't blink. I promise this," Sandra replied and Michu smiled widely.

"It's a promise!"

After Michu returned to the Azure Lake, he took out his staff and faced Yakuzan who nodded to him.

Though anger glazed his monkey's eyes, the monkey boss had never lost his composure. He was ready to exchange ferocious punches and jabs with his opponent! However, the staff made Yakuzan's eyes turn serious.

It felt like a weapon that perfectly suited Michu.

A weird dangerous sense swirled his heart and the bonk's strength flashed briefly within his mind.

Yakuzan puffed his chest and rushed forth! He shook all his fear, leaving cautiousness and zealous drive to beat down the enemy that had read through his movement!

Michu's legs bent, then his staff took off like a rocket. He didn't display his ability yet, but laced his weapon with the bonk's ability! The terrifying force behind this bonk and its visual appearance forcefully reminded Yakuzan about the previous blow.

It startled him and his steps stopped.

On the other hand, Michu's legs, once on the move, would never stop until strength escaped him or his opponent perished. He appeared first while carrying an advantage and thrust his staff straight into Yakuzan's face.

The monke belatedly answered, his body stumbling behind.

However, the Azure Lake abruptly screamed as if it never expected Michu's blow to be that strong.

[-1240 HP! Critical Strike!]

On the always stoic and calm lake, the booming ripples pealed. Both Michu and Yakuzan became swallowed by the waves conjured from their first contact. The ever-changing waves clashed with each other, sometimes heavier, sometimes faster.

The loud water conveyed the Azure Lake's shock, but amidst those water tears, Michu's eyes never blinked. Undisturbed, all he felt was the feeling behind his blow and critical strike. He tried to repeat the same feat, even though the critical strike hadn't begun on the weak spot.

But how could Yakuzan be that easy to defeat? He stumbled, but regained foothold a second later, then unleashed a series of punches that would scare the professional boxers in real life! With the weapon in his hand and adrenaline fueling him, Michu grasped his staff with both hands and blocked every punch.

He also did his best to attack back, but Michu quickly found out that this was something he had yet to properly learn.

Both attacking and defending were hard against such a strong opponent with two times his level!

[You have lost 402 HP!]

[You have inflicted 790 HP!]

Those kinds of messages swarmed Michu's eyes. But before those could even cover Yakuzan's ferocious face, Michu's relentless staff kicked all those messages out of his vision!

It didn't matter how much HP Michu had left! It didn't matter how long his stamina would allow him to fight for! He didn't want to follow this black magic and give enough respect to Yakuzan whose punches had been raining down with all his will.

Monkey Boss' eyes never left Michu and a spark of respect began to lit up within. This bloomed even more as Michu entered the primitive battle style. Yakuzan threw a jab from below, but Michu stepped back as if he had been anticipating it from the beginning.

"You were doing frontal attacks all this time... I was wondering when you would switch!" The distance had been created, but Michu spoke as if he wanted to have some room for the talk!

Yakuzan nodded, "Huhu." He replied in his language, but Michu understood! The boss said that Michu wasn't a bad opponent at all.

Michu smiled, "Why are you a gangster then? You can change your life and become one of the residents in this world!"

Yakuzan shook his head. He couldn't leave this forest, so he decided to live here after gaining an ability. However, the players saw him as a stronger opponent and would never give up on such a 'bag of experience points'.

They didn't want to speak with the monkey, because who would? Even though Yakuzan had a name, no player tried to become friends with him solely because they lacked the class to tame pets.

Heavily suppressed by the game's reality, the players foolishly gave up on becoming friends with Yakuzan who would show them many wonders in this Azure Forest!

Thus, Yakuzan became a gangster and led other monkeys to fulfill their desires. All of them liked luxuries brought by players to this charming forest. Black coats that players wore to look cool for the opposite gender became the primary target!

Other monkeys liked red caps and hoodies.

"Haha! If they attack you, you have to fight back!" Michu laughed innocently. By then, the lake's waves calmed down and the initial calmness returned. Yakuzan and Michu's low HP stats became displayed in everyone's eyes.

"Michu! Be careful!" Sandra's voice then loudly alerted Michu! From all angles, many players decided to take a risk and take down Yakuzan before Michu's staff ended his life!

Familiar weapons and skills sparkled around him! Yakuzan didn't take a step back nor he tried to come closer to Michu! He just puffed his chest, clenched his hands, and glared at all exposed players with genuine hate!

He was ready to take those techniques head-on, but the blue slash whirled around the lake like a half-moon.

This slash broke all techniques, ended the players' lives, and silenced the loud crowd.

"Just because all of you couldn't see their battle..." Sword Mistress' voice reverberated through the lake. Even though it spanned over many kilometers, her reach was that wide! "It doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed it." She waved at Michu and Yakuzan, "Keep going." A beautiful smile worthy of celebrity widened on her face.

Michu blushed and nodded! "Thank you!"

Yakuzan nodded as well, then the battle resumed.

章 47: The Azure Lake's Secret

Chapter 47: The Azure Lake's Secret

"Yakuzan! I want to exchange pointers with you again! You are such a strong opponent! Hehe!" With his HP nearing zero, Michu smiled widely at Yakuzan who wasn't faring better. Both of them were exhausted, but Michu's smile seemed as if forcefully attached.

However, who else, other than the worthy opponent, would be able to tell that this was indeed a genuine smile of mutual respect?

Yakuzan closed his eyes, hit the ground with his knee, then looked at the Azure Lake. The past brimmed his eyes, "Huhu." He sighed and hit the lake with his forehead. The whole lake parted and ate both Michu and Yakuzan! They entered the lake's trap under the disbelieving eyes of the whole crowd.

One of the players mindlessly asked the Sword Mistress, "Sword Mistress. Were you aware of it?" His tone was shaky, so the lady just bluntly answered.

"I wasn't." She then retracted her eyes and stood up. At this point, she ended one of her adventures to reminisce about her past. This was the stage for a new player and from what she had seen, Sword Mistress was sure she would see Michu yet again.

It was rare to see a player fighting equally with the named monster whose level was two times higher. A first guess was that Michu was the lucky inheritor of epic class, but unfortunately for Michu, her guild was women-only.

Sword Mistress strutted, passed through the player who nearly fainted after she had answered him, then stopped. Her eyes swept through Sandra who had been pretty anxious here.

"He is pretty loud, isn't he?" The blue-haired beauty asked.

"He is..." Sandra faintly answered.

"If we add his class and brutal honesty, he will gather far more attention in the future. If that's what you are scared of, then I advise you to take a step back. If Yakuzan turned out to be a different monster, then the whole battle would've started differently." For example, another monster would've hacked Michu without waiting for him to speak with his friends.

Sandra tried to hide her face, but nothing was imperceptible before this high-level player, "I am not that kind of person, though." A black robe fell onto Sandra's face. It covered her whole top, "I just said what had to be said. It's up to both of you." A mesmerizing smile flashed on the Sword Mistress' face before she resumed her steps.

The crowd split up to let her go undisturbed, then many men fell while grinning, looking at her from below.

These stupid fellas got a lot of scornful looks from other ladies.

On the other hand, Sandra whispered, "It's the same, Jacob... I am the same in both worlds after all."

-

"What is this place?! Is it me?!" Michu roared while looking at the water statue of himself! The water looked like a gel and had blank eyes! However, faced by the original, the statue flinched and raised its staff.

It then hacked on Michu, but the monke took a few steps back!

"Uhuhu!" Yakuzan explained. He said that you would gain an impressive might by defeating the reflections here. There were many reflections and each had its stages. This place would be normally achieved by players whose meditation brought some results.

However, no one has ever satisfied Azure Lake's conditions. It ended up passing a part of its inheritance to Yakuzan who had been enjoying the great muscles. Either fast or tough, those muscles could puff out with those two attributes!

Yakuzan was limited, though, and just one attribute could be used by him at the time.

"Amazing! So can this place give me the same ability?! I love training and patting my muscles after eating," Michu nodded. Unsurprisingly, Yakuzan shared the same feeling and both of them ended up laughing for a good time.

Thus, Michu had to defeat all reflections here!

[The Azure Lake's Inheritance Quest!]

[Defeat reflections based on your experience and potential.]

[The First Water Reflection. Lv. 10 Michu!]

The quest seemed fairly simple, but Michu soon would face one of the future selves. This reflection would show the true potential of his staff and broaden his view of staff! Tricks and many other styles would flood Michu's mind soon!

But before he began any of the battles, Michu looked at the big monkey boss.

"Thank you for bringing me here! Do you want to become my friend and leave this place with me?" Michu's quest was to find an old monkey so that KongFu's will could materialize. It would summon a partner who would be able to help both of them.

This Azure Lake would soon lose its meaning, so Yakuzan had to make a decision. If he were to stay with his gang after the lake's disappearance, then there was a high chance that all those players would eventually kill him down.

As a named monkey, he would die forever.

And if he respawned by sheer luck, then his memories would be wiped off either way!

"Uh!" It was not a hard decision! Yakuzan nodded and extended his hairy hand.

Michu grinned and shook Yakuzan's hand, then his class quest flashed before his eyes.

[You have found and formed a close relationship with the monkey.]

[The Monkey God's Spiritual Will begins to materialize within Yakuzan's body.]

"Great! You two can speak now! I will begin my training, okay?" Michu asked.

Yakuzan nodded, then sat down cross-legged. The monkey entered deep meditation, following the steps of all players that used to do the same on the surface.

-

"You can't even speak a common language! How dare you refuse me?!" KongFu's voice echoed within Yakuzan's mind. It wasn't a secret that this monkey god was someone akin to delinquent in his prime.

He was the leader who followed his feelings more than common sense. No wonder the Snake Goddess played with him and his son!

KongFu's deal was simple. He would take over Yakuzan's body and bring him to glory! However, how could Yakuzan even accept it? What glory? He would disappear and not even see the glimpse of this glory!

And would it be his glory? Would he work hard for it and feast on his deeds? Yakuzan refused this spiritual will and forced him outside!

The monkey god's disbelieving eyes widened, then his soul flew out Yakuzan. He became a baby monkey that wouldn't look weird with a nipple in its mouth. He tumbled on the ground, then raised his eyes at the towering Yakuzan! "You look down on me? While I was in my prime, I withstood phoenix ladies' flames and rekindled their hearts with my gaze alone!"

[Tidbit: KongFu never got the phoenix lady's affection. All he got was a chilly gaze that he misunderstood.]

"Uhu," As if knowing this trivia, Yakuzan spat near the baby monkey. Behind this soul hid the old and arrogant monkey, so he would gladly spit on KongFu's face. Alas, he missed as KongFu would never allow for more mishaps!

"Fuck it, I am too old for brats like you," In his baby monke soul, KongFu declared. He found out that his materialized form didn't need a vessel and that he could just latch himself to Michu anyway.

The worst was that he looked like an intangible baby soul, so who would take him as Monkey God and listen to him?

"Listen, brat," KongFu returned from the yellow river! He had no responsibilities and nothing held him back! He was like a genuine delinquent and impulsive monkey with just too much strength and wisdom, "You are going to become one of Michu's trusted aides. In the lands connected to the heavens, each race is supported by belief! Don't misunderstand this term, though. It can be either belief, admiration, or any other emotion! Even hate can work!"

Yakuzan replied, "Uhu?"

"I wasn't hated by phoenixes. How could I? Ahhh?" KongFu raised his baby's middle finger! "It's too early for any believers anyway. It's important to set up a foundation, though. You will be the first one to believe in Michu, but all I see is mutual respect." KongFu crossed his arms and looked at Yakuzan.

However, monke returned from his first battle, stopping the analysis.

"Oh, Yakuzan! You did it! I see you two are great friends already! Hehe! KongFu, Nice to meet you! Why are you so small, though? Aren't you Monkey God?" Michu titled his head.

"I am Monkey God. In this form, I am small, but in my prime, I am the most handsome monkey in the world." KongFu freely declared as he raised his chin. He added, "It's just a matter of time before you see my spiritual will resembling the prime form." To the Monkey God's words, Michu nodded a few times.

He thought that something bad had happened and KongFu's will failed to properly materialize, but after speaking with The Monkey God, Michu could see that that was not the case. Could baby monkeys speak in a common language and even this fluently? Of course not, so Michu knew that there was an old monkey behind that soul form.

However, while Michu had been gleefully smiling and enjoying the meeting of these two, KongFu's eyes dilated. He glanced at both Yakuzan and Michu then whispered inwardly, "There is mutual respect between them, so why do I feel like there's a believer-like connection already between them?" Though faint, The Monkey God's senses wouldn't lie to him! Honed by hundreds of years of experience, KongFu also refused to believe that he was mistaken.

Thus, it had to be true! Albeit faint, Michu already began to tread on the path of God's successor!

"Hmm." KongFu leaped, latched himself to Michu's right arm, then looked at the water reflections, "This place is not bad. It will let me see through your flaws and teach you a few tricks. What kind of tricks do you want to learn first?"

"I want to get stronger and learn how to attack and defend with staff at the same time," Michu replied honestly.

"Heh! That's the basics, son." KongFu patted Michu's arm, then class quests began to flood Michu's eyes.

One of them was weird, though.

"What is this... Skirt Lifting Sweep? It sounds wrong."

"Uhu."

"Heh, you two. Where are your dreams?" The old man's perverted side finally got revealed! KongFu shook his head and shrugged, "The strongest bask in the attention. Though you can never get enough of those eyes, at some point, you began to yearn for some more. Embarrassed... Sultry... Angered... Oh, son... Eventually, your staff will move on their own to see and feel more! Women are that great!"

"No, that's wrong." Michu rebuked, "It's already rude to look for too long at a woman, so it's even worse to touch her without permission!"

"Uhu!" Yakuzan nodded in agreement. Though he used to steal his desired items, he also had proper manners! Both of them displayed a righteous side that Monkey God couldn't believe!

Michu said out loud, "I will be The Monkey God that everyone can rely on! My back will be inviolable and my friends will be able to feel safe by looking at it! Together, we will reach out for our dreams! Hehe."

"If wind raises the skirt, then it's unfortunate. But when I do it, I am getting rebuked? Eh, son!" KongFu shook his head, not even wanting to comment on the righteous monke.

However, Michu added, "You will apologize to the phoenix ladies!"

The old pervert blanked, looked to the side, and imagined himself apologizing to those beautiful ladies, "Haha! My return is already heaven-defying! If I return and apologize, then they will think the heavens had chosen me! Haha! I want to see those beauties... all on me! By then, my soul should be in its prime! Haha!" KongFu then choked, "Snake! Where is that snake bitch?!"

"Don't cuss," Michu said. His image of The Monkey God already greatly shifted. Though he never paid attention to that skirt lifting thing in his skill description, Michu could compare KongFu to many old men on the streets that openly commented on passing women and their bodies! They were all old, the same perverts! "I like Yumi, so don't hurt her with your vulgar tongue."

"Vulgar tongue? Sure, I won't hurt her with it," KongFu said, then urged Michu to show off his skills!

Those would be heavily necessary when the real Snake Goddess appeared.
