As the two large Stone Tail Monkeys approached, Taro had already positioned himself among the branches, ready to confront them.
One of the Stone Tail Monkeys unleashed its Tail Boulder Burst ability, causing its tail to swell to five times its natural size in an instant. With a mighty roar, the Stone Tail Monkey propelled itself through the air towards Taro's location.
The Stone Tail Monkey swung, spun, and thrashed its tail in Taro's direction, but Taro remained one step ahead. He knew he could overpower the incoming attack with sheer force, prepared to meet it head-on.
Aware of Yves and Fizz positioned behind him, Taro braced himself to absorb the impact of the attack, ensuring their safety from harm.
Reacting quickly, Taro sprang into action, leaping towards the approaching Stone Tail Monkey. In mid-air, Taro's claws became enveloped in shadow magic, a manifestation of his Shadow Claw Slash ability.
