Chapter 10 - 10. Part 1

As Max was getting deep inside the pits, he saw different kinds of plant life, some bigger than normal and blue leaves instead of green.

He was now deep inside, where Sunlight was Scarce, even though it was pitch black. He could see clearly.

'Huh, Night Vision? Nice' Max thought.

He was appreciating the beauty of such weird yet color full things when suddenly he jumped, just in time to miss a bolder that was thrown at him.

Jumping forward in a roll, he looked back to see dust and a crater where he previously was.

Looking behind, Max was a bit worried as he saw the Big Gorilla that he saw in Bayak's memories. The Gorilla itself was bigger than a truck, With Dark Black Fur with a tint of Blue. It was Huge. Standing at 10 feet. Arm long and thick enough to make him look more of a Giant than a Gorilla.

'Is it me, or did this thing grow in these few months?' Max asked himself. As he had seen Bayak's memories, it was only a few months ago when he saw this Best. But it was not this Huge.

It roared, pounding its c.h.e.s.t to announcing itself before he uprooted a nearby tree and threw it at Bayak.

This time though, Max didn't move back. Rather, he jumped forward, trying to enlarge his claws on his left hand.

The claws extended to almost 20 inches, as well as the paw grew in size. Slamming the tree, cutting it midair, also pushing the broken logs back towards the Giant. Which the Giant just tossed aside, looking at the Symbiote Enhanced Panther with a Sadistic Grin.

Max circled the opponent from a safe distance, sizing him up. He wanted to try something. He controlled his tail and pushed it into the ground like a needle.

The Gorilla was surprised and happy, seeing a formidable opponent. As it was the first opponent in a while that fought back. He only had to eat weak small preys to deal with.

He wanted to use his newly gained powers, let the world know how mighty he was. But his 'master' told him to lay-low. So he could only oblige.

So seeing this rather large Beast, it became eager to show his superiority. But he would soon regret his decision.

And that was the moment suddenly earth spikes rose from the ground, only because of his instincts did the Gorilla Survived the fatal blow as in the last moment he jumped back.

Cold Sweat ran down the Gorilla's back, and he knew this was a fight for survival, and if he wanted to survive, he needed to give it all.

'Shit, that took a lot of energy.' Max cursed as he retracted the spikes back with ease. 'I really need to learn how to fight in this new body if I want to survive.' It was rather odd for him to fight on all four, he was good at Hand-to-hand combat in his previous life, but he preferred guns more.

'Big Monster, Magic.' Bayak spoke in his mind, link informing Max.

'Wait. What. Magic?' Max asked and quickly searched in Bayak's Memories for more details. And he found it; It was a scene where Bayak was only 2 years old. Still with his Siblings and Mother. He saw the scene through Bayak's eyes.

As his mother showed him how alpha's fight. And then he saw it, and dubbed it as 'Magic.'

It was a fight where the last King of the Pit's who was a Lion, but it was different than normal. It was fighting against a group of 6 Rhinos.

But the odd thing was they were both equally sized. It wasn't that the Rhinos were shorter; it was just that the Lion was huge. Its fur was shining golden, and its eyes were Hazy Blue. Even though the blood of his enemies was on his mane and fur, it looked graceful.

Killing and ripping apart Rhinos one by one.

The battle lasted only a few minutes as he killed 4 of them with minor injuries, but of the last two, one charged ahead, damaging the Lion's front Left leg before it was bitten in the neck and torn apart.

The Lion was not as agile as it was used to be; seeing the opportunity, the other Rhino charged Ahead with his horn in front, targeting the left side of Lion's stomach, and then it happened. Suddenly the lion's Hazy Blue eyes shined brightly for a moment before it dashed backward, saving himself from the fatal blow.

And after that, the Lion won and kept his position as the King of the Pits. And if Max was right, that was the previous King before this place was taken by the Giant Gorilla. And it was a memory that Bayak still remembered to this day.

Even though the memory was 10 minutes long in the real world, only a fraction of a minute had passed.

Max suddenly jumped back, gaining distance. 'If I am right, that must be some sort of danger detection skill similar yet different to his Spider-Sense. And there must be something in the pit's that grants this skill.'

'And if I am not wrong, it must be akin to something like the Heart-shaped Herb. But for Animals. And that must be the reason the Gorilla in only a few months gained, more inches 20 inches.' Max thought. Jumping sideways to miss yet another rock that was thrown at him.

Max was technically right; it was the same thing that granted both Kings the same ability. But it was not a natural Resource as the Heart-shaped Herb. But it was something rather different.

The Gorilla was keeping a distance as he was cautious of the previous attack.

'Let's get this over with.' Max thought as he charged forward, his Symbiote sense told him that there was danger at left, he ducked missing a heavy Punch, he opened his jaw, and bit the Gorilla at his Right T.h.i.g.h, knocking him off balance.

As the Gorilla was falling, he didn't give him any time and enlarged his claws on his right hand as much as he could in the short span of time and slashed sideways with all of his strength.

He didn't expect that his attack would be enough to send the Gorilla Flying a few meters, bouncing and dragging along the way; the path was covered in its blood. The Gorilla internal organs were now outside on the ground, twitching. Even the gorilla would be sliced in half if it weren't for his thick skin.

The Gorilla struggled one last time as it drew its last breath, seeing his opponent for the last time with hateful eyes.

'I could do that?' Max was equally as shocked as the Gorilla. He had held back so much of his strength that he didn't even know how much strength he had.
