Chapter 132: Why Do You Look Like a Stray Dog!
"Hmph! Courting death!"
Flashy Flash's eyes were icy. Since the Monster in front of him dared to provoke him so, what harm would there be in cutting him down!
In the next second, under Diamond Sperm's playful gaze, Flashy Flash flipped his wrist and the blade slashed toward his neck at extreme speed.
"Flash Slash!"
In just an instant, Flashy Flash used his super speed to land dozens of consecutive strikes on Diamond Sperm's neck.
A massive counter-shock force traveled back; Flashy Flash's palm went numb, and he immediately felt something was wrong.
This situation only occurred when the blade struck an incredibly hard object.
Could it be... Crack!
The sound of shattering rang out. Flashy Flash's eyes widened in disbelief as shards of his blade scattered like fluttering butterflies.
He had swung his sword at Diamond Sperm's neck, so how was it his own sword that broke instead?!
Looking closely, Diamond Sperm's neck, which shimmered with a brilliant luster, didn't even have a single white scratch on it.
"Too weak, too weak! Human, is your speed the only thing worth looking at? You truly are a pathetic fellow."
As he spoke, Diamond Sperm threw a punch. The fist, containing immense power, kicked up rings of sonic booms in the air, its speed exceeding the limits of the human retina.
Even Flashy Flash couldn't see it clearly and could only rely on his instinctive sense of danger to tilt his head, barely avoiding having his head blown apart by the punch.
The fist grazed his face, severing a few strands of his flowing blonde hair. Flashy Flash's figure flickered, turning into an afterimage as he appeared behind Diamond Sperm and threw a fierce kick.
Flash Kick!
"Too slow!"
Diamond Sperm grinned savagely. The flexible whip atop his head flashed a blue trail in the air, accurately striking Flashy Flash's knee.
In his eyes, Flashy Flash's speed—which seemed like teleportation to ordinary people—was as slow as a snail.
"Argh!"
Flashy Flash let out a miserable cry. Amidst the splattering blood, he watched as a line of blood erupted where his lower leg met his thigh. The entire leg broke into two sections in an instant, with only flesh and skin barely holding them together.
I can't fight this guy at close range anymore... His close-combat ability is too strong... I have to pull away first... With this thought, Flashy Flash used his intact leg to retreat rapidly, simultaneously using a Ninja Secret Technique.
Fifteen Shadow Burial!
In an instant, Flashy Flash retreated rapidly, while fifteen afterimages indistinguishable from the real person split off from him, fleeing at the same speed.
Looking at the fifteen Clones before him, Diamond Sperm didn't give chase immediately. Instead, he stood in place and struck a pose, looking completely languid.
"Good grief, just some realistic Clones. Too weak! Simply too weak! Are there no stronger opponents!"
The moment he finished speaking, Diamond Sperm took a step forward. The ground beneath him exploded under the powerful impact, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading densely across the surface.
Boom, boom, boom!!
His figure turned into a streak of azure light as he charged at high speed. In less than 0.1 seconds, he directly smashed through all the Clones and bore down on Flashy Flash's true body.
Alarm bells rang in Flashy Flash's heart. He ran with all his might, trying to shake off this Monster whose speed far exceeded his own.
However, Diamond Sperm showed a wicked smile. During the pursuit, he even moved alongside Flashy Flash and struck a lazy, reclining pose.
"Will you kneel on your own?"
Damn it!
Bloodshot veins spread in Flashy Flash's eyes. This Monster dared to humiliate him like this, essentially grinding his pride as a Ninja and an S-Class Hero into the dirt.
But the continuous, sharp pain from his knee warned him that he must not be impulsive. This Monster's strength clearly far surpassed his own.
Suddenly, Diamond Sperm threw a punch without warning. Flashy Flash had been maintaining his full sprint and couldn't adjust in time.
Accompanied by the sound of shattering bones, Flashy Flash was sent flying miserably, smashing heavily into a building and crashing right through the floor.
A large amount of concrete fell, burying Flashy Flash beneath it along with a cloud of dust.
For a moment, the world seemed to fall silent.
"Heh... heh..."
Flashy Flash gasped for air. His vision was blurry, and his consciousness felt as if it were about to shut down.
He had just taken a punch from Diamond Sperm. His left hand was now twisted like a pretzel, the bones inside more shattered than the sugar crystals on a rice cracker.
Combined with the continuously bleeding fracture at his knee and his internal organs being injured by that immense power, Flashy Flash's condition had reached its absolute limit.
I have to find a way. For now, I can rely on these ruins to recover a bit of stamina.
Should I choose to continue fighting him head-on?
Flashy Flash shook his head, immediately rejecting his own idea.
A head-on confrontation was absolutely out of the question. His current wretched state was enough proof of how foolish that idea was.
That Monster's stats in every aspect were far higher than his. Not only was he crushed in the speed he took pride in, but even his own attacks couldn't break through the Monster's defense.
Moreover, Flashy Flash could faintly sense that this Monster hadn't taken a serious stance from start to finish. If he had gone all out, Flashy Flash would likely have been turned into a mist of blood long ago.
Should I set a trap?
Flashy Flash scanned his surroundings. It was all useless concrete; the only things that could be considered somewhat hard were broken steel rebars.
It's completely impossible.
These ordinary objects simply weren't enough to cause damage to that Monster. To set a trap, one needs sufficient lethality.
Must I continue to flee and wait for backup from my teammates?
Based on Flashy Flash's observation of the battlefield situation while he was fleeing, this was also highly uncertain.
The S-Class Heroes around him were almost all locked in bitter struggles. Four other equally powerful enemies had them pinned down, making it clearly impossible for them to pull away and support him in the short term.
This is trouble... The continuous, sharp pain stimulated Flashy Flash's mind, keeping him awake and allowing him to recover as much stamina as possible.
He had already controlled the muscles in his limbs to tighten, reducing blood loss as much as possible to achieve a hemostatic effect.
Just then, a booming explosion suddenly came from above.
Bang!
The concrete debris above him suddenly exploded. Shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight like a God descending, Diamond Sperm looked down at Flashy Flash, who was half-lying in the ruins.
"Hahahaha! Why do you look like a stray dog!"
