"It is not that I wanted to come, but rather you invited me here."
King faced Gyoro Gyoro and the hundreds of monsters surrounding him without fear, though he remained secretly vigilant against the tentacles that had just launched an attack from the darkness.
"Oh?" Gyoro Gyoro was somewhat surprised.
Dark Mask had successively killed several Demon-level executives and two Dragon-level ones from the Monster Association. It had long wanted to kill him and be done with it, even dispatching two peak Dragon-level executives, but unfortunately, they had all returned without success. It had not expected the other party to actually barge in here so fearlessly this time.
Activate, Bone King Form!
Swish!
Countless bone spurs surged out from King's body, and a tail several meters long, composed of white bone, appeared behind him, swaying.
"It's actually monsterization!" Gyoro Gyoro was overjoyed.
Dark Mask's powerful entrance just now had proven his strength, and the current Monster Association was in dire need of such combat power.
"I understand now, so the human that Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame spoke of is you." Gyoro Gyoro had a sudden realization.
Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame had mentioned him when they returned, but it hadn't paid any attention, as there had been too many humans undergoing monsterization recently.
"Your performance has already been enough to prove your strength. I welcome you to join the Monster Association on behalf of the organization."
Gyoro Gyoro waved the tentacles on its body. Unexpectedly gaining such a powerful combatant like Dark Mask made it exceptionally happy.
"I have long heard that the Monster Association follows the law of the jungle, where one can dominate everything as long as they are strong enough. May I make a request?" King suddenly said this irrelevant sentence.
Gyoro Gyoro looked at him with some surprise. "Let's hear it."
"I think it is enough to keep the Dragon-level executives. As for the rest of the trash, let me clear them all out." A smile appeared on the corner of King's mouth.
He was, of course, not shooting without a target. He was testing Gyoro Gyoro's bottom line.
Sure enough, his words instantly caused the entire Monster Association to erupt in chaos. After all, Dragon-level executives were few and far between, and the rest were all the "trash" King spoke of.
"Arrogant fellow! You are just a human who has just undergone Monsterization, yet you dare to spout such nonsense here!"
"I can't stand it anymore! I want to tear him into pieces and then swallow him bit by bit!"
"Do you really think you can handle so many monsters?!"
"How ignorant! You just got lucky and obtained a little power, and you really think you are invincible?"
"Let's go together, break all his limbs, and then torture him slowly!"
Countless curses and roars erupted all around. If it weren't for Gyoro Gyoro, King would likely have been swamped by the countless monsters by now.
Gyoro Gyoro seriously said, "That won't do. We are about to go to war with the Hero Association, and every bit of combat power is precious. Furthermore, internal killing is prohibited within the Monster Association, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
It felt that the man in front of it was very similar to another person from the Hero Association. However, King had been wearing a mask from the beginning to the end, so it could not confirm it one hundred percent.
"Shut up! A bunch of trash!" King roared, instantly silencing the surroundings.
"If you are not convinced, you can challenge the Monster King, Orochi-sama. If you win, then we will welcome a new leader." Gyoro Gyoro held its tentacles high, waiting for King's choice.
"Monster King? I quite like that title." A smile appeared on the corner of King's lips as his Fighting Spirit burst forth.
"The new members lately are always so confident. Orochi-sama, I leave it to you." Gyoro Gyoro's body floated up and retreated to the side.
A body over ten meters tall gradually emerged from the darkness, its entire surface coiled by snakes, and dozens of tentacles grew on his huge head.
"Monster King, Orochi!"
King's eyes were solemn. This opponent was extraordinary, his strength had almost exceeded the scope of Dragon-level.
[Ding! Mission triggered: Challenge Monster King Orochi. Objective: Survive. Rewards will be distributed randomly.]
'Tsk tsk, going all out right from the start.'
This was the first time King had seen a system mission with the objective of survival, one could imagine the difficulty of this mission. A single mistake could cost him his life on the spot.
'I'll just use this opportunity to test where my limits are.'
"Foolish human." Orochi's deep voice rang out, his eyes calm and unruffled.
Since he had taken this position, no matter what kind of opponent he faced, they could never escape the outcome of death.
Swish... Swish...
Countless tentacles shot out, instantly turning the huge plaza into a mess.
'There is not much time left for Hero's Heart, I must end the battle in a short time.' King calculated secretly in his heart.
He knew that Orochi was currently in his ordinary form, hiding most of his power.
"Scram!"
King struck with lightning speed, knocking away the incoming tentacles and rushing towards the main body.
Boom!
The several snakes coiled around Orochi awakened, roaring and spewing terrifying flames from their mouths.
Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist!
A massive airflow gathered in King's palms and then burst forth with a roar. This strike actually blasted a path through the flames.
'Now! First Layer Liberation!'
King felt as if his body were about to burn up, the terrifying airflow blowing away the surrounding flames.
"Oh? There is actually a hidden move? What an unexpected surprise."
Gyoro Gyoro, watching from the side, was surprised yet very happy. After all, the stronger Dark Mask was, the more useful he would be when fighting the Hero Association.
"Roar!"
At this moment, another snake blocked King's path, its sharp teeth chilling to the bone.
"Die!"
Boom!
With just one punch, it's head instantly turned into flesh and blood, splattering everywhere.
"This power!"
Gyoro Gyoro was truly shocked at this moment. It had not expected that King could achieve such a feat against Orochi, even though the latter had not fought seriously at all.
"Arrogant!"
Orochi seemed to be somewhat angry, huge amounts of energy gathering in the mouth on his chest.
"It has been a long time since I have seen Orochi-sama use this move!" Gyoro Gyoro was extremely excited.
The tail behind Orochi connected into the ground, capable of absorbing energy from the Earth's core. This was the reason why the Monster Association was underground, and Orochi was its proudest masterpiece.
Gaia Cannon!
A terrifying shockwave shot out, and a sense of extreme crisis instantly welled up in King's heart.
'I must hold on, otherwise I will die.'
King knew the horror of this move, one careless move and he would instantly be reduced to ashes.
Fighting Spirit fully unleashed! Fusing all talent power, an all-out strike!
Ultimate Purgatory Hellfire Burst Wave Motion Cannon!
