Chapter 113: One Person Battles Four Dragons
The devastating golden energy storm continued to rage throughout the area. Those relatively powerful Demon-level Monsters were also unable to resist this power, and they were shattered into pieces one after another.
Even Gyoro-Gyoro was finding it hard to hold on. The Psychic Power shield around him was wavering, like a small boat tossing and turning in a turbulent sea.
Sensing he was in danger, Gyoro-Gyoro shouted loudly at Monster King Orochi, who was standing still like a stone statue nearby, his voice filled with urgency:
"Lord Monster King Orochi! Please take action immediately! Whether the Monster Association survives or not depends on this! Use your unrivaled power to defeat King!"
However, in the face of Gyoro-Gyoro's urgent cries, Monster King Orochi—whom he had always regarded as a weapon and who had always been obedient—stood motionless, his cold eyes fixed on the figure within the golden energy storm.
Damn it! What on earth is going on!
Gyoro-Gyoro struggled to maintain his Psychic Power to prevent his body from being torn apart by the sweeping energy storm, thinking to himself that things were looking bad.
Why has Monster King Orochi suddenly lost control... what exactly is happening... He felt extremely uneasy; everything before him seemed to be spiraling out of his control, and his plans were completely disrupted.
According to Gyoro-Gyoro's plan, the Monster Association should have launched a surprise attack on the entire world in about ten days, sending hundreds of Demon-level Monsters to destroy cities and test the combat power of S-Class Heroes.
Then, they would kidnap the children of influential figures and bring them to the Monster Association as hostages, forcing the Hero Association to assemble S-Class Heroes for a rescue mission.
Finally, they would arrange opponents to counter each S-Class Hero based on their characteristics, successfully defeating all of them.
When the Hero Association made its final desperate counterattack, they would use Monster King Orochi's overwhelming and terrifying power to defeat all remaining forces, eventually destroying all of humanity!
That was how the plan was set! Why have the variables become so massive!
Gyoro-Gyoro didn't understand, and he would never have the chance to.
Web-like cracks began to surface on the Psychic Power shield in front of him. No matter how Gyoro-Gyoro tried to maintain it, it was difficult to hold.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"
Moments before his body was torn apart, Gyoro-Gyoro let out an unwilling and angry roar, but he could only be shredded into pieces by the devastating energy filling the sky.
Only four beings remained on the field.
Two tall men in peculiar attire, both holding sharp Ninjato.
The man on the left had short, fiery red hair. His expression was arrogant yet carried an unparalleled solemnity, his eyes full of admiration for the terrifying strength of King, The Strongest Man on Earth.
"As expected of the one called the strongest hero by humans. This area-of-effect attack capability is simply breathtaking; even my great Ninja arts cannot reach it."
The man on the right was handsome, and his narrow phoenix eyes held not only solemnity and shock but also the joy of challenging a powerful foe:
"What immense power... Hellfire, once this energy dissipates, we will go kill King! Let the blood of the strongest man on earth add a glorious luster to our blades!"
These two were Dragon-Level Monsters known for their speed: Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame. They had originated from the same Ninja Village as Flashy Flash and Speed-o-Sound Sonic, though they were not from the same class.
They were originally powerful Ninjas, but later, in pursuit of even more extreme speed, they chose to become Monsters, gaining speed even more formidable than before.
As for the last person remaining on the field, besides the powerful Monster King Orochi and Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame lurking in the distance, there was only a giant over six meters tall.
Dragon-Level Executive, Gouketsu.
As a legendary martial artist with extreme confidence in his own strength, Gouketsu's self-assessment of his power reached a new level after becoming a powerful Dragon-Level Monster.
He had once tried to challenge Monster King Orochi, but was subsequently beaten soundly, only then reluctantly submitting to the Monster Association.
In his view, besides Monsters of Monster King Orochi's caliber, even King, The Strongest Man on Earth, should not expect him to flee without a fight!
Under the gaze of the four, the energy storm dissipated, revealing that tall, blonde figure.
The blood mist and countless severed limbs that had filled the air were long ago ground into dust by the overwhelming energy storm, leaving the entire underground area looking quite empty.
King precisely controlled the spread of the energy, not allowing it to completely destroy the entire underground. After all, City Z was built right above the Monster Association.
If the underground tunnels were accidentally collapsed, there was a high probability that the entire City Z would also be ruined.
The opportunity has come!!
Monster King Orochi, Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame, and Gouketsu launched their attacks simultaneously.
Countless Dragon-shaped tentacles with gaping maws streaked through the void, surrounding King from all directions. Raging flames that distorted the air erupted within them, and energy light waves swept through in an instant.
Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame used their extreme speed to appear behind King in a flash, launching two incredibly sharp slashes instantly.
"Look behind you, King!"
Gouketsu bent his legs, then shot upward like a spring compressed to its limit. His massive fist, carrying a violent astral wind, smashed ruthlessly toward King's small figure.
In just an instant, King, who had just dispelled the energy storm, was subjected to simultaneous attacks from three sides.
At this moment, King fought four Dragons alone!
Facing all this, the four of them simultaneously felt a sense of unease.
Something's wrong... why is he so calm... Oh no!
King's demeanor was too calm, as if the person being attacked from multiple sides wasn't him.
The next second.
Blue steam suddenly exploded, and King disappeared from the spot at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, appearing behind Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame in a flash.
"Then why don't you look behind you?"
What?!
The pupils of Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame constricted suddenly as their sharp blades struck empty air. Before they could even react, fists the size of sandbags were already smashing toward their faces.
Gale's face changed drastically, and he twisted his own neck without hesitation. With a crisp snapping sound, he barely managed to let his face graze past King's fist.
Hellfire, on the other hand, was not so lucky. Although he tried his best to dodge, King's fist was even faster than he had imagined.
Boom!
