Infinite Rewards Harem System: My Rewards are x10,000-Chapter 37: Monkey See Monkey Do

"Well let’s just say I can Summon different types of monsters. Question, do you want your voice back?"

Isis looked at Terrence like he’d grown a dick for a head.

Her silver eyes narrowed, brows knitting together in pure disbelief. For a long second she just stared, curls shifting slightly in the breeze as if even her hair was skeptical.

"Seriously-"

[I gotchu. 20 Harem Reward Points.]

[x1 Healing Item Received!]

’Preciate it System.’ Terrence thought before he continued. "I know it seems impossible.." he pulled out the strangely pink and green vial. "but when you’re overpowered, impossible becomes bygone."

The vial was small, no bigger than a shot glass, swirling with iridescent pink-and-green liquid that caught the weak daylight like oil on water. It pulsed faintly, almost alive.

Isis stared at it, then back at him. She thought to herself for a second before she flipped a page of her notepad and started writing again. She looked straight into his eyes with an emotionless and straight expression. Like she was trying to peer into his soul.

She then turned the notepad.

"Can I trust you?"

The words were small, written in careful, deliberate strokes. But the weight behind them was crushing. Years of betrayal, isolation, and survival etched into four simple syllables.

"Only one way to find out." He gestured towards the vial.

Her eyes narrowed at that, but she gently took the vial anyways. She glanced at it for a second before downing it a second afterwards.

The liquid went down in one smooth motion. Her throat worked visibly. Then her face twisted.

She made a repulsive noise.

"That was fucking disgusting!"

Her voice was deep and womanly. Sexy and smooth. Her head snapped towards Terrence.

"I thought you said I could trust you!"

She almost made a handsign until she heard his next words.

"Well I see you’re not using that notepad to talk anymore." His eyebrows went up and down with a chuckle.

Her eyes widened with surprise as she just now realized it.

"My voice..MY Voice..MY VOICE!"

Terrence watched her bounce on her bare feet in exhilaration and cheerfulness..

She spun in place, arms thrown wide, bare feet slapping against cracked concrete. Her laughter was real, rich, and unrestrained. It spilled from her throat for the first time in years. Tears tracked fresh paths down her cheeks, but these were different. Joyful. Relieved. She clapped her hands over her mouth, then pulled them away again like she couldn’t believe the sound was hers.

Well that’s until he sensed that they weren’t alone anymore.

A low vibration rolled through the ground. It was deep, rhythmic, like distant artillery. Thunderous footsteps echoed to where Isis was still distracted and celebrating.

A large fist, even larger than her entire body shot to her like a freight train, aiming to squash her like an overbanded watermelon.

The fist was decayed gray flesh stretched over massive knuckles, fur matted with filth and old blood. It hurtled down with enough force to crater the concrete on impact.

"Gomu Gomu no-" Terrence appeared in front of the fist with a mock serious expression. "nut cracker!"

He drove his fist upward in a perfect counter. The collision was thunderous. Flesh against flesh, bone against bone. The gorilla’s arm snapped backward with bone-crunching force, momentum reversing so violently that the creature’s own fist slammed into its ’jewels of fertility’ with apocalyptic power.

It let out a loud roar of pain before collapsing with a heavy thud.

Terrence looked down at the monster and realized it was an overly decayed but massive gorilla.

The beast was easily twelve feet tall even on all fours. It’s rotting fur hanging in strips, exposed muscle glistening sickly beneath, one eye milky and blind while the other burned with feral rage. Its chest heaved once, twice, then stilled.

’Don’t you say it System..’

[What? Haha I wasn’t even thinking it.]

’Sure you weren’t.’

"Thank you for saving me Terrence, but-" Isis pointed. "That’s not the last of them."

More monstrous gorillas emerged from behind rusted containers, from shadowed gaps between collapsed cranes, from the skeletal frames of old warehouses. They were dozens of hulking silhouettes with glowing yellow eyes and rotting flesh. They formed a loose ring around the crater, chests heaving, knuckles dragging furrows in the concrete. None moved yet. They waited.

"Look who’s about to die and can’t do a damn thing about it."

A man stepped from around an abandoned building.

He was completely cloaked from the top and bottom with dirty black rags they couldn’t even see his eyes, but he was tall.

The rags were layered like bandages. They were tattered, oil-stained, wrapped so tightly they looked like a second skin. Only the vague outline of a humanoid shape showed beneath: broad shoulders, long arms, a hood pulled so low it swallowed his face in shadow. He moved with predatory grace despite the bulk of fabric.

"After I kill both of you I’ll finally be worthy to enter Khoi Cit-"

"Listen." Terrence interrupted him. "How about you join us and we all can enter together. It’s a win-win for everybody. No cliche ass monologues or unnecessary bloodshed."

He paused at that for a second.

No one have ever asked him to join them before. Usually in the outskirts it was more of a last man standing and survival of the fittest type of thing.

Yes! This had to be a tr-

"No its not a trap or an ambush. Trust me you would already be dead if it was. We’re already on our way to Khoi City, so you can either join us like I said earlier or be left behind..not in the most attractive manner either."

"Tsk." He scoffed as he looked at Terrence. This guy was overly confident and he didn’t like the look of his pretty boy face. He felt a tinge in his heart.

He launched towards Terrence with a roar, a short blade in his hand.

"I will never join the likes of you! Now DIEEEE-"

BOPP.

He didn’t see the jab to his nose. One second he was flying towards him, about to slice that arrogant face of his and the next he was implanted in the ground. His face was in pain.

The impact cratered the concrete beneath him. Dust exploded outward. The blade clattered away, spinning across the pavement.

"GAH! I’m going to erase you from this exis..tence." As he shot up, he noticed the two looking at him, their eyes wide.

He looked down and could see his black rags all over the ground.

The wrappings had torn away in the collision. They shredded by the sheer force of Terrence’s punch. What remained clung in pathetic strips to a body that was anything but human.

"Damn..that’s one hell of a hindrance." Terrence said as he looked at the twin version of Caesar from Planet of the Apes.

The figure beneath the rags was unmistakably simian. Thick brown fur was matted with grime, powerful shoulders sloping into long arms that ended in black-nailed hands. A scarred muzzle, intelligent amber eyes burning with fury and humiliation, prominent brow ridge furrowed in rage. Fangs glinted as he snarled.

[An understatement at that. Frieza would hate it here.]

’Now that was just plain wrong.’ Terrence couldn’t help but actually laugh out loud at that.

’Caesar’ thought he was laughing at him.

"NO!" That made Terrence laugh harder, if you know you know. "My clothes! Kill them! Kill them! KILL THEM!!"

His muscles rippled under the fur as he hunched forward, fists slamming the ground hard enough to crack the slab beneath him. The waiting gorillas responded instantly and surged forward in a wave of rotting muscle and yellowed fangs.

Terrence’s laughter tapered off into a low, amused chuckle. He rolled his shoulders, Godzilla’s Toenail shifting on his shoulder with a faint metallic groan as Tectonic Weight continued to stack.

"Well if it’s what you want-"

The first gorilla lunged and Terrence met it halfway. He sidestepped the swing, planted one boot on the beast’s incoming forearm, and vaulted upward. Mid-air, he spun, hammer whipping around in a wide arc.

The impact was obscene.

Godzilla’s Toenail crashed into the gorilla’s shoulder with a sound like a cannon shot. Kinetic Compression released in a violent burst. The stored force detonated outward in a shockwave that folded the creature’s arm backward at an impossible angle. Bone snapped. Rotting flesh tore. The gorilla staggered, howling, only for Seismic Detonation to ripple through the concrete beneath its feet. The ground buckled. Fissures raced outward. The beast toppled sideways, taking two more of its kin down in a tangle of limbs and dust.

Terrence landed lightly.

"Then it’s damn sure what you’ll get."

He was already moving.

Another gorilla charged from the left. It’s mouth wide, fangs dripping black saliva. Terrence ducked under the swipe, drove an elbow into its solar plexus hard enough to cave the rotting ribcage inward, then followed with an uppercut that snapped the creature’s head back. It flew ten feet, crashing into a rusted forklift and crumpling the frame like tinfoil.

"Right Isis?" He glanced back at her with a smirk.

She was still in disbelief, but looked back at him with a nod and cute smile.

"I’m right behind you."
