I Became a Demon Sword and Traveled the Anime Worlds

Looking at Sonic's motivation, Asuramaru, who resided within the sword, nodded with faint satisfaction.

If Sonic continued improving at this pace, then perhaps he really could exchange a few moves with Boros by the time the alien overlord arrived.

Perhaps.

Seeing that Sonic's side was moving in the right direction, Asuramaru shifted his attention back to his other Sword Master.

Satoru Suzuki.

At that moment, Suzuki was at home, training.

Sweat rolled down his face as he moved through his exercises with practiced determination. In front of him, the sword rested quietly.

Between breaths, he asked tentatively, "Asuramaru... what do I have to do to gain your recognition?"

No answer came.

The room remained quiet.

Suzuki paused for a moment, then lowered his gaze to the sword.

As his fingers curled around the scabbard, memories from the past surfaced in his mind.

Back then, he had only been an ordinary high school student.

During a Monster attack, he had stepped forward to save someone and was nearly killed for it. If he had not found this sword inside the crater created by that Monster and used it to block the fatal blow, he would have died long ago.

Since then, he had kept the sword by his side.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he had never been able to draw it from its scabbard.

It was like the sword had been sealed.

Only after Asuramaru appeared did Suzuki begin to understand.

Perhaps only someone who gained his recognition could truly draw the sword.

Even after receiving no reply, Suzuki did not feel discouraged.

Instead, he trained even more seriously.

His voice was quiet, but firm.

"Asuramaru, I'll definitely gain your recognition."

By noon, Suzuki finally took a short break.

He turned on the television and saw emergency news from neighboring City J.

A group of Monsters had invaded.

The current classification was Disaster Level Tiger.

"A Tiger level disaster?"

Suzuki's expression tightened.

"I should go and do what I can."

After glancing at the report, he did not hesitate.

He turned around, put on his hero gear, strapped Asuramaru to his back, and left home.

Soon, Mumen Rider was pedaling straight toward City J.

Asuramaru had also seen the news.

Unlike Suzuki, his thoughts immediately turned to something else.

The news anchor had mentioned Seafolk landing ashore.

That meant the Deep Sea King was coming.

And if the Deep Sea King had appeared, Boros's arrival was one step closer.

As expected, time was still too tight.

The current problem was whether he should reveal his power when facing the Deep Sea King.

This world was not simple.

Too many organizations were hidden in the shadows. No one could guarantee that he would not be targeted by someone with ulterior motives once he exposed too much.

For the first time, even Asuramaru found himself hesitating.

The biggest issue was simple.

His strength had not yet reached the point where he could ignore everything.

"Forget it."

Asuramaru's voice was low.

"I'll take it one step at a time."

Some time later, on the outskirts of City J.

Mumen Rider arrived at an overpass on his bicycle.

Holding the Hero Association pager in one hand, he dialed the Association's number.

"This is Mumen Rider. I'm currently heading toward the scene. Please tell me the exact location..."

Before he could finish, the response came through the device.

"The lines are currently busy. Please call again later."

Just then, someone nearby shouted at him.

"Hey! You'd better not go over there. This isn't something C Class Heroes should handle anymore."

Suzuki turned his head.

Beside the road was a small truck. Six C Class Heroes were gathered on it.

The masked hero sitting in the passenger seat looked toward him and warned, "We just received updated information."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Hero Association broadcast echoed throughout City J.

[The disaster level has been raised from Tiger to Demon.]

[Citizens of City J, please evacuate immediately.]

[The disaster level has been raised from Tiger to Demon.]

The announcement repeated again and again.

A young man standing in the truck bed followed up, "You heard the broadcast. If C Class Heroes go in now, we'll only get in the way."

Suzuki clenched his teeth.

Then he lowered his head slightly.

"Thank you for the warning."

His hands tightened around the handlebars.

"But I'm still going."

With that, he pedaled forward, rushing straight toward City J.

The C Class Heroes behind him fell silent.

No one knew what to say.

His actions were admirable.

But this was still overestimating himself.

A Demon level disaster was something that usually required S Class Heroes to resolve.

City J.

The Deep Sea King strolled leisurely through the streets.

The sky above was overcast, dark clouds pressing low over the city as if rain might fall at any moment. Evacuation warnings rang through the streets from time to time.

But the Deep Sea King only smiled.

His eyes were full of greed and cruel amusement.

"Evacuate?"

His voice was low and malicious.

"What a bunch of fools. I won't let a single one of you escape."

He stood over two meters tall. His dark green body was covered in bulging muscles, while a small crown sat upon his ugly pale face.

On a nearby rooftop, A Class Hero Lightning Max looked down through a pair of binoculars.

He stared at the Deep Sea King for a while, then fell into brief thought.

Is this the guy who defeated Stinger?

Can I win if I fight him one on one?

After a moment, his expression turned serious.

As expected, I should find a chance to run.

Before he could act, the Deep Sea King appeared behind him.

A single punch sent Lightning Max crashing into the neighboring building.

The Deep Sea King stepped closer and looked down at the fallen hero with playful eyes.

"What were you doing sneaking around like that?"

His grin widened.

"Were you trying to ambush me?"

Seeing that the hero had nearly lost the ability to resist, the Deep Sea King grabbed him from the ground and threw him straight through the wall in front of them.

Lightning Max's body flew like a kite with its string cut.

He smashed through the wall and fell toward the street below.

At that moment, a burly man in a prison uniform leapt up and caught him in midair.

An iron ball was chained to his right foot, and a heart had been embroidered on the sweater covering his broad chest.

He landed on the street and gently placed Lightning Max on the ground.

"S Class Hero, Puri Puri Prisoner!"

The man looked down at Max with a passionate expression.

"I broke out of prison to save you, my honey."

Lying on the ground, Max had only one thought.

Just let me die.

Not far away, the Deep Sea King also leapt down from between the buildings and landed on the street.

He looked at Puri Puri Prisoner with interest.

"Another soldier has arrived?"

He licked his lips.

"You look quite delicious. High grade meat."

Puri Puri Prisoner stared at him.

"That powerful aura makes my whole body tremble."

His expression suddenly darkened.

"But since you dared to hurt my Max and Stinger honey, have you decided how you want to die?"

He clenched his fists.

For now, I'll use half my strength.

Power surged through Puri Puri Prisoner's body.

In the next moment, the heart sweater was shredded apart by his expanding muscles.

His expression froze.

Then rage erupted.

"Aaaah! That sweater was hand knitted for me by my boyfriend!"

His eyes burned.

"You're absolutely unforgivable!"

The Deep Sea King looked at him with disgust.

"What a revolting fellow. You've completely ruined my appetite."

Unable to stand it any longer, the Deep Sea King stepped forward and threw a punch.

Puri Puri Prisoner punched back.

Fist met fist.

The gap in power became clear at once.

The Deep Sea King's cheek caved in from the impact, but Puri Puri Prisoner was also forced to endure considerable damage.

More importantly, the Deep Sea King's cheek returned to normal in the next instant.

He smiled as if nothing had happened.

"That stung a little."

"It stung a little on my end too!"

Puri Puri Prisoner refused to back down.

But this time, to stop this Monster from ruining any more men, he had no choice but to transform.

"Prepare yourself!"

He spread his arms wide.

"Transform!"

A dazzling light burst around him.

"Puri Puri Prisoner: Angel Style!"
