445 Air Punch
The relentless battle showed no signs of conclusion as Ace and the Ape Lord continued to exchange powerful blows, neither side gaining a definitive advantage. Ace's agility and precision had proven to be formidable assets, but the Ape Lord's sheer strength and endurance remained a daunting challenge.
As the Ape Lord launched another devastating swing, Ace evaded it with his signature nimbleness, but in his eagerness to counter, he made a slight mistake. Ace aimed a powerful kick at the Ape Lord's knee, but the massive creature anticipated his move and intercepted his leg mid-air.
The Ape Lord's grip tightened around Ace's leg, and for a moment, it seemed as though Ace would be at a severe disadvantage. With a roar, the Ape Lord attempted to use its strength to crush Ace's leg. The pain was excruciating, and Ace knew that a momentary lapse had almost cost him dearly.
In a split second, Ace's combat instincts kicked in. With his free leg, he delivered a flurry of quick and precise strikes to the Ape Lord's face, causing it to loosen its grip. Ace managed to twist his body and break free, landing gracefully on the ground.
The Ape Lord, momentarily disoriented by Ace's counterattack, stumbled backward, giving Ace the opportunity to catch his breath. He realized the importance of maintaining his focus and not underestimating his opponent, no matter how fatigued the Ape Lord seemed.
Their battle continued with renewed intensity, both combatants aware of the fine line that separated victory from defeat.
