Chapter 108: Far Inferior to Your Master
In an instant, a soul-shaking, massive pressure descended upon the entire arena. Every monster present felt terror strike their hearts, every cell in their bodies screaming danger signals.
Some of the saner monsters recognized the tall, golden-haired figure before them. Trembling uncontrollably, they shouted out the name that was taboo among monsters:
"King! It's King, the Strongest Man on Earth! He came to us!"
"No! I don't want to die! That sound like thunder in my ears... that must be the King Engine! I haven't killed enough humans yet!"
"Gyoro Gyoro! Dragon-level Executives! Monster King Orochi! Aren't you all powerful? Hurry up and kill King!"
King just floated in mid-air, having done nothing yet, but the monsters were already in disarray.
Countless monsters below Dragon-level were running around like ants on a hot pan—some in despair, some in anger, some in panic—but none dared to attack.
The Dragon-level Executives weren't as panicked as the cannon fodder, but their expressions were incredibly grave.
As powerhouses, they could feel it more keenly: the terrifying power contained within this human. Just sensing it slightly, they felt as if they were about to be drowned by a violent ocean of vitality.
Gyoro Gyoro was completely dumbfounded. It stared incredulously at the figure that looked like a descending god, its mind filled with endless confusion.
What is happening? Why did King find our location? When were we exposed?
..........
20 Minutes Ago.
King, in a great mood after crushing Saitama in video games with various fancy combos, went out to buy some snacks to treat himself.
He hadn't walked far when his steps slowed. He looked across the street with a hint of confusion.
He could sense that he had been locked onto by an extremely aggressive gaze.
To King, this gaze felt like an old bachelor who had been thirsty for decades suddenly seeing a stunning beauty—barely restraining the urge to pounce.
He turned his head and looked. Across the crowded street, a tall, muscular young man stood unmoving, his narrow, wolf-like eyes staring dead at King.
The young man wore a tight black shirt that outlined his powerful muscles and white martial arts pants. His white hair looked like a mountain split in two, forming sharp peaks on either side.
After seeing the young man's appearance, King paused for a moment before recalling his identity.
Isn't this Little Brother Garou, the Hero Hunter?
Currently, the Monster Association arc hadn't officially started, and Garou hadn't begun his hero hunt yet. King didn't expect to have such fate with this unkillable cockroach.
And by the looks of it, Garou wanted to hunt him?
On the other side, Garou looked at the tall man whose face was mostly hidden by a cap. The smile on his face grew more excited, and his muscles trembled with anticipation.
Perfect... Even fate is favoring me!
I was just about to start my Hero Hunt, and I run into the Strongest Man on Earth, King! This is fantastic!
In Garou's eyes, if he could announce the start of his Hero Hunt by defeating the Strongest Man on Earth, how cool would that be?
Thinking of this, Garou was almost impatient to strike. But just as he took a step, he frowned.
There were too many people around. If he attacked rashly, even Garou wasn't 100% confident he could take down King quickly—after all, the man was S-Class Rank 5.
Noticing that King was also looking at him, Garou grinned arrogantly. He pointed toward a deserted construction site nearby, the meaning of his provocation self-evident.
King had the same intention. Although he was confident he could take down Garou in one move, he didn't want to fight on a street with such heavy foot traffic. Accidental injury to civilians would be bad.
One Minute Later, Abandoned Construction Site.
Garou and King stood facing each other. Facing the prestigious Strongest Man on Earth, the arrogant youth dared not be careless. He immediately raised his hands, assuming the opening stance of the powerful martial art he hadn't intended to use yet.
Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist!
Blue energy flowed through his palms. Garou's muscular body seemed to turn into flowing water. With a flash, he charged at King with extreme speed, leaving only one sentence drifting in the air:
"Come! S-Class Rank 5, the so-called Strongest Man on Earth, King! Remember my name! I am Garou, the existence who will hunt all heroes!"
Facing the menacing Garou, King was too lazy to even waste a word. He simply raised his hand and slapped.
Such a simple attack... who couldn't neutralize that? It seems the so-called Strongest Man on Earth is nothing special.
Watching the incoming slap, the corner of Garou's mouth curled up in confidence. His Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, flickering with flowing energy, struck King's palm, intending to redirect the force and counterattack.
But in the very next second, Garou heard the crisp sound of bones cracking. He looked at his hands in shock.
At this moment, both of Garou's arms—the ones he used to execute the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist—had their bones snapped instantly in an attempt to block King's casual slap.
Are you kidding me?!
Feeling the intense pain shooting through his brain, Garou was stupefied.
Didn't I use the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist to block King's attack? Why are MY arms the ones broken?!
Seeming to see Garou's confusion, a calm voice rang in his ears:
"Your Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist is far inferior to your master's."
