The massive spaceship landed before Gaino and Laiya in an instant. Demon Clan members poured out one after another, flying toward them at high speed. As their numbers grew, Gaino and Laiya found themselves surrounded.
They wore ferocious expressions, as if they intended to swallow Gaino and Laiya whole.
Gaino observed their demeanor and said to Laiya, "Laiya, look at them. They act as if we owe them money. We haven't borrowed from anyone lately, have we?"
Laiya replied, "We haven't borrowed money, no. But we do owe others favors, and those must be repaid."
"I know debts must be paid, but what does that have to do with them?"
While Gaino and Laiya continued their casual chatter, the Demon Clan members suddenly knelt toward the spaceship. It seemed the true master had arrived.
The Demon Clan spoke in unison, "Greetings, Demon King."
A figure drifted out from the ship. When Laiya saw his appearance, her mouth fell open, though Gaino remained largely unimpressed.
Laiya said, "Isn't that a Namekian?"
"Yes, that's right. He is a Namekian, but for some reason, he has become exceptionally evil. He is nothing like the Namekians we've encountered before. The kindness, affinity, and gentleness typical of his people are nowhere to be found in him."
At this moment, Slug spoke up, "So, you are the two brats who killed my Demon Generals?"
Slug held his nose high, his entire posture screaming that he was the greatest in the world.
Seeing Slug's arrogant display, Gaino retorted, "If those two pieces of trash can be called generals, you'll be the death of me from laughter."
Slug, seeing that Gaino wasn't afraid but instead laughing, flew into a rage. "Fine, fine, fine! You brat, to think you dare mock me—prepare to be finished by this Demon King!"
Gaino replied, "If you want to fight, then fight. Enough with the nonsense."
Laiya added, "Are we fighting or not? If not, hurry back to where you came from! Don't waste our time here."
"How arrogant, you two little ones. You are going to die a miserable death."
Gaino said, "Laiya, do you want the Demon King or the brats?"
"That goes without saying, the Demon King, of course. I want to see what kind of skills this guy has to dare call himself the Emperor of the Universe."
With that, she launched an attack on Slug. Laiya flashed instantly before him and delivered a fierce punch to his face. Caught off guard, Slug was sent flying backward, his body crashing through a mountain.
System: Defeat Slug. Reward: 0.1 seconds of Time Skip.
Why did the mission arrive now? I was planning on finishing Slug off myself!
Ah, it seems I cannot go for the kill.
Very well, let Laiya have some practice.
Laiya and Slug were already locked in combat. Gaino looked at the remaining fodder, clenched his fists, and muttered, "Though this won't let me fight to my heart's content, it'll do for a warm-up."
Three Demon Clan members appeared before Gaino. "Since King Slug already has an opponent, you shall be ours!"
Gaino looked at the three. They were significantly stronger than the others; they were undoubtedly the so-called Demon Generals.
Gaino said, "Who are you? If you want to be my opponents, state your names. My fists do not slay nameless ghosts."
"Such insolence, brat. Listen well: we are three of King Slug's five Demon Generals. The other two were finished by you."
"Since you know two were already dealt with, why are you three here seeking death?"
"Don't get cocky, kid. We aren't like those two pieces of waste. Our combat power is far superior to theirs—can't you feel it?"
Gaino sensed them carefully. Their power was indeed greater than the previous pair, but to Gaino, it made no difference.
"Listen up, brat. I am Dorodabo, I am Kiku, and I am Big Eyes."
"You will be killed by us three Demon Generals." Gaino pointed at one of them. "You are Kiku, then who is...?"
"Gishu was my younger brother, but if that trash was killed by you, so be it. If you're not skilled enough, you deserve to die."
Gaino's gaze shifted to another. Hm, his eyes are indeed large. No wonder he's called Big Eyes.
Gaino stretched his limbs and said, "I know your names now. Time to send you to the afterlife."
Before the words had even faded, Gaino moved. He flashed behind Kiku and unleashed a punch. "You're right. If you aren't skilled enough, you should be killed. So, go to hell!"
Gaino's punch pierced straight through Kiku's body. Before Kiku could react, he was finished. Gaino then appeared before Dorodabo and delivered a kick. Dorodabo scrambled to block with his arms, but Gaino's strength was beyond his ability to withstand. With a sharp crack, his arm snapped. With Dorodabo's guard shattered, Gaino drove a knee into him, the immense force blasting him away.
Dorodabo's body collapsed a mountain; he vomited blood, convulsed, and died instantly.
Seeing Gaino's overwhelming power, Big Eyes tried to flee, but Gaino pursued him and obliterated him with a powerful energy wave.
With the three Demon Generals gone, the remaining small fry were wiped out by one of Gaino's energy blasts.
Gaino looked toward the battle between Laiya and Slug. Laiya was struggling significantly; Slug was gradually adapting to her attacks.
Slug began his counter-assault, firing a ki blast at Laiya. She swiped it away, but it was a feint. Slug flashed before her, raining down punches and kicks that left her disoriented.
As Slug's assault continued, Laiya felt utterly stifled. She swept out a leg, forcing Slug to block, and used the opportunity to gain some distance.
"Damn it, damn it all! You really are infuriating!"
"Ha... aaaaaaah! I am absolutely furious now! You, you are intolerable!" With a whoosh, Laiya's hair began to stand on end, its color gradually shifting toward gold.
Laiya continued to power up. "Simply... simply unforgivable! Ha!" Her aura erupted instantly. Her hair and eyebrows turned gold, her eyes became a pale green, and a golden flame surged around her. She had finally succeeded.
Laiya's Super Saiyan form had arrived. Her expression turned cold as she looked at Slug. "Now, this is the end for you."
Slug, having no concept of the power of a Super Saiyan, sneered, "Don't think that just because you transformed you can be my opponent. Take this!" Slug lunged at Laiya, but in the blink of an eye, he was sent flying backward at high speed.
