"huh, what happened, I just now saw Fubuki-sama standing there, but suddenly she disappeared?" I asked confusedly because just now, Fubuki-sama was babbling on to this newly appeared monster, but the situation suddenly changed quickly without me realizing it.
"Hey Kaiser, what should we do now?"
Since then, Kaiser has been quiet, and when I turned to look at him, I was taken aback because this was the first time I had ever seen Kaiser with such a solemn expression on his face. Additionally, I overheard him murmuring:
"His punch is moving so quickly that I can only make out a shadow of it."
Then, I went in the direction that Kaiser was looking, and not too far away from us, in one of the roadside shops that was currently falling apart. Along with the dust flying, I could just barely make out the silhouette of a person lying there.
"Fubuki-sama!" I yelled in a panic, and just as I was about to run over to her, Kaiser spread his hand in front of me to block my path. Before I could ask him why, he already had an explanation ready and said:
"This monster is much powerful. while I distract it, you need to get Fubuki as far away from here as you can."
I know I cannot be selfish at this time, especially when thinking about helping to fight this monster, but after seeing Fubuki-sama, who was defeated with one punch, I got scared.
"umm, take care, Kaiser."
"Ehh, what's going on, why are you all so quiet? Did my attack catch you all by surprise?...but forget it, you guys will be my starter meal now!"
I immediately came to a halt and became rigid. I could sense that this monster's eyes were scanning everyone in the area before he smiled broadly and displayed his pointed fangs. Then, just as before, the monster's figure vanished, and all of a sudden, the screams of several members of the Blizzard Group could be heard.
*swoosh
*slashes
"ahhh...help me..."
"I don't want to die.. run quickly... we... aghkkk..."
"Ask for help... contact the Hero's Association Headquarters..."
One by one, members of the Blizzard Group fell with their bodies bleeding from the claw wounds. This monster seemed to deliberately want to make its prey lose a lot of blood slowly, and with a movement that I couldn't see, this monster seemed to be slowly heading towards Kaiser and me.
"Lily, getting ready to run!" Kaiser yelled, and not long after that, he abruptly made a stance before kicking the area beside him. Shortly after that, a loud sound could be heard as the body of this monster was hurled far away.
"Now!"
It was almost as if my instincts were driving me to defend myself. I ran over to Fubuki-sama as quickly as possible and wrapped her arms around my shoulders before leading her away.
"I'm surprised you can keep up with my speed, what a surprise, it looks like you'll be able to entertain me for a while."
From the spot where the monster landed, I could see how it got back up again. On its chest, there was a deep wound from the kick that Kaiser gave, but I just saw the horror when this monster's body seemed to heal itself because the wound had just disappeared.
'Careful Kaiser, I'll be bringing reinforcements right away, please hold on until I come,' I said to myself, filled with worry, but my footsteps quickened as I slowly walked away from the area before looking one last time at Kaiser.
-
"What an unfortunate situation," I muttered with a wry smile as I could feel the raindrops falling on my body.
*crush
*crush
When this monster approached me, every time, he would step on the heads of the Blizzard Group members who were still alive and lying on the road until they were crushed. Gradually, his body grew a little larger, and his face became more terrifying.
"I am sorry, I almost forgot to introduce myself, I am the Deep Sea King, and now I will be really serious about destroying you before I hunt down my two escaped prey from earlier."
"Are you not going to aim for more prey than spending time with me here?" I asked in a playful tone, but even so, my face looked serious.
"What a strange human being, of course I will look for more prey later, but I will kill you here and now first."
'Those two must have arrived late, I'm also curious about Mosquito Girl's condition right now, will she be alright facing those two A class Professional Heroes,' I thought, and while I wasn't focused for a moment, the Deep Sea King had quickly made a move.
*swoosh
*woosh
Unlike the Deep Sea King believed, I was completely unable to track his movements, and the only reason I could anticipate the direction of his attack was due to a stroke of good luck. But, this time around, due to the rain, I could not see his figure at all.
"How? Are you able to keep up with my speed now? hahahaha... are you afraid, you don't know where I will attack from, right?"
I could still make out, albeit very dimly, the movement of the wind that was all around me, but I was well aware that I would not be able to strike him this time. So, all I could do was sigh before closing my eyes, and as soon as I sensed the imminent danger, I immediately used my ability to teleport.
*bam
After the massive hand of the Deep Sea King smashed into the ground just now, a crater appeared right where I had been standing before. The Deep Sea King looked bewildered as he looked down at his empty palm before looking all around.
"Looks like I'm still faster, you were too confident with your slow movements earlier," I mocked him, and suddenly, the Deep Sea King's sharp eyes immediately looked at me, who was currently standing on a building not far from him.
"How did you get there that fast? I'm sure you were already in my grasp... and that white flash of light earlier, what was that?"
