Chapter 187: I Will Become a Hero and Surpass You!
Homeless Emperor, standing beside them, was clearly unwilling to leave.
After all, God had personally given him a new mission.
No matter what, he had to obtain that sword.
But when he turned and saw the others already preparing to withdraw, he ultimately had no choice but to suppress the urge for now.
That opponent countered him too well.
If Sonic closed the distance, Homeless Emperor would die before he could even make a move.
He could only wait for a better opportunity.
In contrast, Psykos, watching from afar through her clone, had already learned her lesson. She silently gathered every detail of the battle, beginning to plan the next attack in her mind.
Deep in the mountains, the thunder gradually faded.
Sonic stood in the rain with a cold expression.
Inside the sword, the system notification rang in Asuramaru's mind.
[Ding! Intense negative emotions detected from Dragon level Monster Foss of Violence before death. Gained 110,000 emotion points!]
[Ding! Intense negative emotions detected from Dragon level Monster Destray of Destruction before death. Gained 100,000 emotion points!]
[Ding! Intense negative emotions detected from Dragon level Monster...]
[This battle obtained a total of 600,000 Demon Power. Fifty percent will be fed back to the Sword Master.]
The moment the system notification ended, an unimaginably vast amount of Demon Power surged into Sonic's limbs and bones.
His strength began to rise explosively.
In the blink of an eye, his body leapt from mid Dragon level to above Dragon level, barely touching the threshold of peak Dragon level.
Feeling the changes in his body, Sonic even had the illusion that he could change the world.
Fortunately, he quickly calmed down.
The first thing he did was ask in his heart, "Asuramaru, tell me the locations of those guys on the perimeter."
Asuramaru used his perception and immediately reminded him, "The farthest one is due north. You had better hurry. They have already started running."
Sonic's expression was disdainful.
"All futile struggle."
As his voice fell, his figure silently vanished from the spot.
He moved at a speed the naked eye could no longer follow.
In only a blink, he found the Tennin fleeing north.
Without wasting a single word, Sonic cut off his head with one strike.
Inside the sword, Asuramaru immediately pointed out the next location.
"West."
With Asuramaru guiding him, Sonic easily hunted down all the fish that had slipped through the net.
Even so, he still failed to break through the final shackle and truly reach peak Dragon level.
Sonic did not care too much.
Instead, he began considering his next move.
After thinking for a moment, he made his decision.
"Decided."
His eyes sharpened.
"I'm going to register as a hero with the Hero Association."
The corner of his mouth curled upward.
"Saitama, just wait. I will surpass you very soon!"
As he finished speaking, two new abilities appeared in his mind.
But Sonic did not pay much attention to them.
His thoughts were now entirely focused on becoming a hero.
Action spoke louder than words.
Sonic sheathed his sword and prepared to leave the mountains, heading straight for the Hero Association branch in City Z.
Inside the sword, Asuramaru could no longer stand it.
This guy only had Saitama in his heart.
It was better to check on Satoru Suzuki's situation after so long.
The perspective shifted.
Satoru Suzuki was riding his bicycle and patrolling the streets.
At this moment, he had already removed his cycling armor, but he still wore his goggles.
After the Deep Sea King incident, his popularity had soared.
Now, pedestrians on both sides of the road greeted him excitedly whenever they saw him.
Satoru always smiled and responded.
When he saw an elderly person with limited mobility by the road, he stopped his bicycle, locked it properly, and went over to patiently help them cross the street.
Then he smiled and left.
Even after gaining power, he remained the same person he had always been.
Not long after he resumed riding, the pager at his waist began to vibrate.
Satoru took it out and connected the call.
A hurried voice came from the device.
"Mumen Rider, please proceed to the Quan'an mining area immediately. Monsters have gathered there!"
"I understand!"
The moment he heard the news, Satoru accelerated and rushed toward the destination.
After arriving at the mining area, he saw workers fleeing in panic.
Satoru hurriedly stopped one of them and asked, "Excuse me, where is the Monster?"
Hearing his voice, the worker finally snapped back to his senses.
When he saw who had arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're the hero Mumen Rider, right?"
The worker quickly pointed toward the mountain.
"The Monster ran into the mountains over there!"
"Thank you."
Without wasting time, Satoru thanked him and immediately sprinted in the direction the worker had indicated, stepping into the deep mountains.
In only a short while, he found the Monster in the forest.
It looked like a humanoid mole.
The creature seemed to sense him as well and immediately turned around.
A pair of scarlet beast like eyes stared straight at Satoru.
The moment it saw him, it roared.
"Damn human! Why do you keep chasing us?!"
After roaring, the mole Monster raised its sharp claws and charged at him.
Hearing those words, Satoru was briefly stunned.
Even so, he drew Asuramaru from his waist, held the sword with both hands, and blocked the incoming claws with the back of the sword.
The mole Monster continued swinging its sharp claws and roaring in pain.
"Go to hell, damn human! All humans should die!"
Hatred.
Grievance.
That was Satoru Suzuki's first impression of this Monster.
Compared to the Monsters he had faced before, which only knew how to kill and destroy, this one gave him a completely different feeling.
Because of that, Satoru did not immediately attack.
He held the sword and continuously blocked the incoming claws, using the chance to ask, "Can I know why you hate humans?"
The mole Monster froze for a moment.
But its attacks did not stop.
"So what if you know?! Are you going to laugh at us with the rest of them?! Despicable, shameless humans!"
Even though the Monster in front of him was not strong, Satoru still did not choose to kill it directly.
Instead, his expression remained serious as he continued asking.
"I don't know why you misunderstand humans like this."
He blocked another claw strike.
"But I still hope to know what happened to you."
The mole Monster ignored him.
Its only thought was to kill the human in front of it.
Inside the sword, Asuramaru watched the scene the entire time.
But suddenly, within his perception, an aura rushed toward their location.
"Demon level strength."
Asuramaru focused slightly.
"Is it a Monster?"
However, when that aura fully approached, Asuramaru saw the figure hiding within the nearby forest.
The newcomer wore a martial arts training outfit.
His white hair stood upward like wolf ears, and his defiant eyes were watching every movement here.
Inside the sword, Asuramaru recognized him at a glance.
"Isn't this Garou?"
