When Kyle reached the fourth room, he found a bunch of gorillas, which were actually not Ore Fiends.
These were just underground gorillas with Earth Affinities.
They were probably the reason why the Ore Fiends in the last room had the appearance of gorillas.
Most of the gorillas were in the Early Second Realm, but some of them were in the Mid Second Realm.
They were a bit faster and thought with a bit more intelligence, but not a lot more.
This room almost played out the same way as the last one.
In fact, despite the increased Realm of some of the gorillas, it was even easier.
The reason was simple.
Fear.
Ore Fiends didn't feel fear. They just emulated whatever behavior they saw.
Yet, these were actual beasts, and they had emotions.
When Kyle had stepped in, most of them were intimidated by him.
For some reason, he seemed really scary.
However, the gorillas could also tell that Kyle didn't have a lot of Ether in his body.
He only seemed as strong as the weaker members of the group.
In the end, the gorillas felt confident with their number advantage and attacked.
Yet, as soon as Kyle decimated the first gorilla, the other ones became very careful.
This was a mistake.
A number advantage was only really useful when everyone attacked at the same time.
However, Kyle only had to fight two or three gorillas at the same time, at most.
When Kyle struck the Mid Second Realm gorillas, they exploded just like the Ore Fiends from the previous room.
Blood and guts flew everywhere.
Theodor watched as Kyle painted the cave with the blood of his enemies without showing any emotion.
He almost seemed bored, but that wasn't actually the case.
He was just focused.
In Kyle's perception, the simple movements of the gorillas couldn't be any more obvious.
It was like he already knew what they would do before they themselves knew.
To an onlooker, it would seem like the gorillas purposefully ran right into Kyle's hammer.
'He is unrecognizable,' Theodor thought.
BANG!
A Mid Second Realm gorilla exploded as Kyle's hammer went through it.
A splatter of blood appeared on Kyle's face, but he didn't even blink or change his expression.
Theodor remembered how much trouble Kyle had had with the groups of beasts while traveling through the peninsula for the first time.
As soon as there were two or three, Kyle hadn't known what he should do.
But now, he was beset by over ten gorillas.
And yet, it was like there were only one or two gorillas.
Theodor remembered Kyle's idiocy.
This guy genuinely had to have some issue with his brain.
Kyle's metallic fingers poked through the eyes of one of the gorillas.
BANG!
A moment later, fire exploded out of all the gorillas' orifices.
'Right now, he doesn't look like an idiot,' Theodor thought.
BANG!
Kyle threw the burned husk onto another gorilla, which had been about to attack Kyle.
'He's only in the Early Second Realm,' Theodor thought.
Another gorilla suddenly stopped charging forward as Kyle turned his gaze to it.
It was beyond intimidated.
It felt like it would die if it attacked.
Kyle lifted his left hand and snapped his fingers.
BANG!
A powerful spear of Wind Ether came out of the ceiling, piercing through the head of a gorilla that had wanted to jump at Kyle from the ceiling.
