Watching this sudden turn of events, all the earthly lions, including Gask and Nana couldn't believe their own eyes.
"This… this is?"
Despite the enemy already being finished, Thomas still stood in the same spot as before with his eyes closed.
Gask and the others exchanged glances before falling silent as they realized this hasn't finished yet.
For some reason Thomas couldn't shake the feeling something was wrong, that ape beast was too weak. A true beast with the power at master level shouldn't be defeated without him using all his hidden cards, specially when in a weakened state like right now.
The unconscious ape king before his feet glowed before turning to rock, then almost immediately a huge palm appeared inches away from Thomas. Just like he expected, a no beast that claimed to be a king would be killed that easy.
"Hmph!"
A large ghostly hand grabbed the huge ape in the air. Now with his body stuck in the air with all movements blocked. The ape finally showed a shocked expression.
The ape locked on man in orange mist then involuntarily cried out loud, " This shouldn't be possible, my Ghost Ape's ability can't be seen through. What are you?!"
Once facing this unknown enemy, only now did he recognized the an unknown aura. There had been some species of beasts with incredible talent at perception with senses multiple times greater than other beasts. Beast like this are a trouble to deal with since sneak attacks and other tricks won't work on them.
Thomas ignored Kuijar. In his hand, he held a piece of parchment he just bought in the system store. It was similar to other items he bough before, at that time he didn't know what formations were so he never bough one to test, but now...
Spirit Threads rippled in the air, drawing multiples runes in the air. In seconds, twenty five runes had been fully formed. With the formation imprinted on the scroll, there wasn't any need to focus his mind in the drawing of the line
[Level 2 Formation Scroll: Crossed Impact]
Eyes open, Thomas reached out with his hand while whispering in his heart. "Crossed Impact Formation!"
A flash fell upon the beast who didn't have the strength to resist. When the light vanished, multiple jet black runes had speared across the Ape's whole body before receding into the runes at its neck.
A strange power was injected into the beast who in turn showed terror on its face. This power shredded his internal energy circulation before spreading to his inner organs.
The terror on his face also became denser as his body began to swell.
It was like he became a balloon. When his body finally reached the limit, he let out a sharp cry. A bloody explosion rang out as a black flash was seen fleeing past the forest.

Far away at the foot of a mountain was the bloody Ape with his left arm and leg gone while lying on the ground.
At that moment, the Ape King genuinely sensed the power inside his body would really kill him if he didn't escape at that moment. "Oh mighty, I should have rejected Krias' payment for this service, who would have thought a small tribe of lions would have that kind of expert."
"A Sensitive Beast is trouble, wait, there shouldn't be many of this kind. I heard there is only two in this area, Only is a female and other is an old beast. Yet I don't believe its any of the two. Either way I won't let go away with this...."
In that instant, dozens of black apes who noticed the arrival of their king rushed to the bloody ape king. As they got closer, their eyes noticed the sorry state there boss found himself in and said word of surprise. "Boss! What happened with you?"
"You! Go look for the Big White and take all the beast to search for the hairless beast walking on two legs, I want him dead!"
When there was really no other signs of danger Thomas sighed before dispersing the orange mist around himself.
Gask and the other lions with exceptions of Nana all gasped. Some of them already expected this, but seeing Thomas right before them after defeating all of the apes.
Right now, Gask could clearly feel Thomas wasn't any weaker than himself just with his demonic energy and skills.
Thomas didn't explain anything and just fled the area as fast he could, without explaining anything who only saw him running. Once he distanced himself from anyone, he sat in the ground and reached out to his heart.
Felling his chest with his hand, Thomas could already feel his heart beating faster and the baleful aura's influence increase.
