Golden Macaque

Lester ran through the Canyon which was completely made out of stone. The farther he went within, the higher it became and at some points, he had to maneuver in certain ways to get through.

Slowly getting himself through the last obstacle, Lester is shocked to have arrived at a pen area surrounded by walls of huge rocks in all directions. The ground was no longer grass and instead, stone as the only light coming into this space came from holes that were on the ceiling.

"Bang!"

A loud noise was heard and a figure was sent back hitting the stone wall on the side. Rocks and pebbles flew in all directions, revealing a figure on the wall.

Patrick, who had just been thrown into a wall, slowly detached himself from the stony walls as more pebbles began to fall from the area he previously was. Looking over towards Lester, he spoke, "That… Bastard ate it... I'm gonna kill it!"

Lester's brows furrowed as he looked towards the other side of this enclosed area.

There it was a golden macaque about the size of two humans stacked on top of each other walking slowly. There was almost pity in its big round red eyes as its golden mane moved with each step.

"Ahh Ahh AHHH" The macaque made a noise as I seemed to be toying with Patrick who didn't seem to be backing down.

"ROAR!" Patrick let out a powerful yell as his body began bulking and dark golden scales began to appear on his forearm, chest, and neck, as well as his shins. The golden scales went with his golden eyes as he looked fiercely towards the monkey. An overbearing aura surrounded his body as if he was a caged beast ready to be unleashed.

Lester could tell that the macaque who was tiny and not powerful before was now as strong as a person at the peak Middle Foundation Stage. The change it went through was considerably evident and its power has skyrocketed to a whole new level.

"Patrick! This will take both of our efforts, he is strong." Lester said as he slowly summoned his long sword again, and prepared himself by getting into a stance. His eyes focused on the macaque as he was breathing in and out with a certain rhythm.

Patrick nodded and got into a stance as well.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

Both Patrick and Lester moved, attacking at the same time. Patrick was extremely quick as he lunged with a punch.

"BOOM!"

Patrick threw a punch, which the macaque dodged with its high agility. The punch missed, but the shockwave released from it made a huge mess behind where the macaque once was as it was full of power. Patrick's strength was incredible at the moment. Lester could tell that he was progressing well in his cultivation, and at the moment he just needed a few more meditations to properly stabilize his cultivation into the Middle Foundation Stage. Patrick has been progressing very well, and Lester was pleased by his friend's talent. Although nothing compared to the aliens of the memories he had obtained but compared to himself, it was really much better.

The macaque that once jumped to the side was shocked to see Lester running towards him with a longsword made out of Qi.

"Slash!"

The macaque jumped back and dodged it once again creating a distance between it and the two cultivators.

Lester was smart as he expected the very agile macaque to dodge. After the slash, the longsword glowed even brighter with a fierce light, as Lester swung once more.

"Swish!"

Sending a crescent slash of qi towards the monkey who jumped once more.

"AHHHHHH"

Although the monkey jumped, the slash was able to cut the tail of it, sending it into a frenzy. The monkey who once seemed to be mocking them was now showing hatred with every movement.

Instead of fleeing again, it looked towards Lester and lunged towards him with its sharp nails, however, from the side Patrick could be heard full of passion.

"Don't forget about me bastard!" Patrick once again threw himself towards the macaque, intercepting its attack, and making contact with the claws of the macaque with his punch.

"Bang!"

"Woosh!" Both figures were sent flying back onto the wall, whilst Lester's hair waved from the gust of wind created by the collision of Patrick and the macaque.

"Ugh!" Patrick made a sound as he once again began to remove himself from the rubble.

Patrick looked over to where the monkey was sent to, and there was a huge hole on the wall exposing the outside.

"No!" Lester exclaimed as he ran towards the hole on the rocky wall just to see that apart from the rubble and clear signs of battle, there was nothing else.

"That Bastard not only took our fruit but escaped as well!" Patrick said as he walked over holding his right arm.

"We were unlucky this time." Lester shook his head as he looked towards Patrick, " You have gotten very strong! Are you ok though?"

Patrick, who rubbed his arm before letting go, puffed his chest and said with a grin, "Yep! I'm very close to reaching a new stage! If only this battle occurred a few days later, when I would have stabilized my cultivation…"

Lester smiled and shrugged.

From the side, someone called," Guys!"

The Holy Man came running from the hole that Patrick had created on the wall previously. With him was the Hair Witch and on their hands were a bag each.
