A rain of cards blossomed into existence and this was enough to cover any damage that may have resulted in the monkey king's attack.

"COWARDS!" The monkey king roared and redirected his rage to the weakest noble emperor he could see. It did not take him long to find one. He spotted a beautiful witch on the left.

​​

This witch was busy throwing curses into his army. A simple wave of her hand coupled with a word of activation from her lips was enough to make a limb fall in rot and decay.

Although it was not a one hit kill style since monsters had vast life energy to begin with, this kind of annoying trick could prove to be bothersome in the long run.

No one wanted to fight with his dick to just suddenly drop without notice after all.

* * *

"Body and Blood Corruption!" The witch continued with her spell amidst several millions of foes around her.

She was fearless in her stance even if beads of sweat and exhaustion had already visited her form in but mere minutes since the war began.

It did not need telling that this particular witch was throwing everything she can unto the army of beasts that would not think twice at swallowing her whole.

"Alegra! Watch out!" A vampire noble shouted to alarm the fatigued figure of his friend. Unfortunately, it was over before the witch named Alegra could have ever moved to react.

"BANG!" A merciless golden stick dropped upon her head.

"Come out and don't hide from inside your fortress, human!" The monkey king raged and used his secret beating art into the poor witch.

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!" The void shook with the extreme intensity of the monkey king's attack. Alas, no blood appeared since a single card sheltered Alegra completely in place.

What was more funny was that this card was a jack of hearts and a vivid depiction of a smiling joker laid on the surface of this powerful treasure.

This has only further invited the fury of the monkey king.

"BANG!"

"BANG!"

"BANG!" A golden staff was relentless on its repeated offenses. But upon the tenth minute mark, the owner of this mighty fine weapon had no choice but to stop his mindless anger.

He looked around and saw that the same thing happened all over the battlefield. Tens of his monsters died while not a single one of the humans bled in their ranks.

The reason for this was of course these irritating cards that would just magically appear when a fatal hit was about to descend unto the humans.

"This will be a long war indeed." The monkey king muttered as he took a deep breath to gather his vigor once more.

He did not believe that the Divine Oracle Jasmine Gomora could sustain this kind of help for long. And so the war continued.

"Orb of Shadows: Altered Space."

A gentle voice of a woman was left unheard amidst the din of battle and the agonies of the dying but its effect was very much felt by the millions in attendance.

Only a half breath elapsed and a horde of monsters began vanishing one after another.

The monkey king was of course a primary target in this spell but he was luckier than his other friends.

"Flicker to the Forest!" The monkey king intoned and a lone bamboo tree floated in the space where he was about to disappear.

A full breath later and his true body was transported into an unknown scenery. Deep into the blistering embrace of the earth, swimming along the burning magma beneath it.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" This kind of pain was not enough to kill a noble emperor like this monkey king. This scream was more because of his frustration towards these tricky humans.

"I will feast on your blood and flesh!" The monkey king roared and shouted a single word of power.

"Ape Shift!" He was gone immediately from the scorching magma. What replaced his big monkey ass was a single bamboo tree. It did not take long for this poor summon to burn on its lonesome.

"DING!" The monkey king resurfaced back to the battlefield amongst the stars and he was shocked when he saw that more than half of his forces were missing to parts unknown.

He did not doubt that many suffered the same fate he did but such a thing was only a minor distraction to his minions.

It would definitely hurt but not enough to end the lives of his monster race.

"There's only 10 million of us left, War Leader."

"I don't know where the others have gone to." A nine headed dog monster reported to the monkey king.

In the end, this monster has chosen to support the decision of the majority in the tribunal held before.

"They will be fine, Chaos Fang. Send word for them to come back here at the fastest speeds they can." The monkey king commanded.

"Yes." Chaos Fang nodded and left thereafter in order to find someone amongst them who has the ability of long distance communication.

This left the monkey king alone for a time since it was obvious that he was in a hell of a bad mood right now.

It did not need telling that the war has entered into a temporary halt since the recent spell of the humans has surprised them very much indeed.

The monkey king looked at the distance where he still had a hundred million minions to play with. Unfortunately, these were only helpers in looting after a victory and no more.

The lot of them would immediately vanish before the might of a single human noble emperor.

"This is why I hate these humans." The monkey king looked at his enemies with an ugly infuriated face. Monsters were used to a violent and frontal battle.

They would bleed and so did their enemies. Alas, their greatest strength has become their biggest weakness at this time.

And it was plain to see that these humans have exploited this loophole to the extreme.

"Gwen Landor, The Void Paragon of Northstar." The monkey king muttered with hatred.

He had an exhaustive information against these humans and therefore knew who the brown cloaked lady was in the distance.

This one woman alone has changed the very picture of the battlefield upon her advent.
