With the Monkey King joining the battle, Regulus and his subordinates felt a lot of pressure.
They were supposed to be the strongest beings in the world of Artem. And yet, they couldn't gauge how strong their opponents were.
No matter what strategy or tricks they used, they were the ones being pushed back.
Kazogonaga was personally dealing with Regulus while his friends were simply defending the children behind them.
Just like the Monkey King, they were only allowed to fight in the name of self-defense, in adherence to the rules of causality.
Kazogonaga was a bit special. Just like Maple and Cinnamon, it was a being that could break some rules without fearing any repercussions.
Feeling that he was backed into a corner, Regulus gritted his teeth and retreated to the smithing district to regroup with Castor.
"Retreat!" Regulus ordered.
He felt very embarrassed about the outcome of this battle.
