Mosquito Girl's Defeat and Escape

No, she has the advantage in the air. I have to trick her into coming down and fight her.

Wu Di felt somewhat helpless. Not only could Mosquito Girl fly, but she was also incredibly fast, able to leave his attack range at any moment.

If they fought in an open area, he would have no choice but to take a beating. Fortunately, they were deep in the mountains, and the dense forest was the best cover.

Buzz, buzz, buzz~ A wave of droning sounds approached. Without even looking back, Wu Di raced through the thick woods. He knew it was impossible to shake Mosquito Girl off completely.

Even if she could not see him, the mosquitoes that slipped through every crack would expose his location. For now, he could only retreat and wait for an opportunity to strike.

"Hehehe~ Little mouse, let's see where you can run to."

Mosquito Girl's sultry voice drifted down from the sky. Under her command, swarms of mosquitoes rapidly pounced toward Wu Di while she leisurely followed behind them.

"Die!"

Bang, bang, bang~ Wu Di swung the spiked club in his hand, scattering the incoming mosquito swarms again and again. Still, quite a few mosquitoes took the chance to begin sucking his blood.

But that was nothing to Wu Di. With an undying body backed by a maxed-out Talent Value, he could recover even if he were reduced to ashes, much less replenish a little blood.

I need to hurry, or I'll just be charging her up.

Wu Di knew this could not continue. The more blood Mosquito Girl drank, the stronger she became.

Right now, he was like a massive moving blood bank, continuously supplying her with energy.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Boom, boom, boom~ Wu Di charged through the mosquito swarm without pause. His spiked club whistled through the air, gradually generating powerful gusts. Every strike effortlessly killed thousands of mosquitoes.

"Hm?"

Up in the sky, Mosquito Girl finally noticed something was wrong. She could clearly sense Wu Di being bitten repeatedly by the mosquitoes, yet he showed no signs of excessive blood loss or exhaustion.

Instead, the mosquito swarm was rapidly dwindling. Any mosquito that came near Wu Di was swiftly destroyed.

"Interesting!"

A sinister smile appeared on Mosquito Girl's lips as she dove toward the forest, fiercely swinging the pair of blades in her hands.

"Not good!"

Wu Di felt an immensely powerful gust bearing down on him and instinctively dodged to the side.

Rumble~ The terrifying attack smashed down all the surrounding trees, exposing him completely.

"Hehehe, now you can't run!"

Whoosh~ Mosquito Girl dove straight down. Wu Di steadied his breath and met her head-on.

Boom~ The two collided violently, but unlike their first exchange, this time Mosquito Girl was the one sent flying.

"Die!!!"

Wu Di pressed his advantage. His entire body erupted with momentum, an invisible vortex swirling around him. The spiked club in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds as he smashed it down in fury.

Mosquito Girl's pupils contracted. For an instant, she actually felt the threat of death. Her agile body dodged at high speed, but it was already too late.

Pfft~ The lower half of Mosquito Girl's body exploded. Unfortunately, it was not a fatal injury, and she seized the chance to escape Wu Di's attack range.

"What a pity."

Wu Di was filled with regret. That blow had had a chance to kill her instantly, but Mosquito Girl had still managed to escape.

"Damn it, what is going on with this guy? His strength has increased so much."

Mosquito Girl's expression darkened, but she had no intention of risking another fight with Wu Di. She turned and prepared to leave.

"Spiral Incineration Cannon!"

Boom~ A pillar of fire burst from Wu Di's hand and blasted directly toward Mosquito Girl in the air.

Buzz, buzz, buzz~ A massive swarm of mosquitoes rushed in front of the fire pillar just in time. They were instantly destroyed, but they successfully covered Mosquito Girl's escape.

If this keeps up, I might really die here. Forget it. Once I've sucked enough blood, I'll come back and take my time dealing with you.

A cold smile curled Mosquito Girl's lips as she turned and headed toward Z City.

"Trying to run?"

A cold gleam flashed in Wu Di's eyes. After finally encountering a Demon-level Monster, how could he let her escape so easily? He immediately chased after her.

"We interrupt this broadcast with an emergency news report. A massive mosquito swarm has gathered in Z City. According to intelligence, all livestock attacked have been turned into mummies. Citizens are advised to flee immediately upon encountering mosquito swarms."

Inside an apartment building in Z City, Saitama was leisurely watering his plants, completely unaware that the distant sky had been shrouded by a black mass.

Wherever the black mass passed, birds and livestock alike were drained into desiccated corpses. Before long, piercing alarms rang throughout the city.

"Warning, warning. The disaster level is Demon. Residents, do not go outside under any circumstances. I repeat, residents of Z City, do not go outside under any circumstances."

"Hahaha, what's so scary about mosquitoes? It's not like they can kill people. I got so many treasures this time that losing a little blood doesn't matter."

The blond man grinned wickedly at the large bag of gold and silver beside him, then prepared to leave in satisfaction.

"Hm? What's that?"

Buzz, buzz, buzz~ A massive mosquito swarm suddenly swept over and engulfed him.

"Damn it! What is this? Aaaah!"

The blond man's body was instantly covered by the mosquito swarm. He screamed and struggled wildly, but it was all futile. In the end, the mosquitoes drained him dry, leaving only a desiccated corpse on the ground.

"Mmm~ The taste of fresh blood is simply wonderful."

The mosquito swarm gathered above Z City, and a sultry voice emerged from within. Mosquito Girl revealed herself, her lower body—which had been blasted apart during her battle with Wu Di—now completely restored.

"But this is nowhere near enough. Go suck some more blood!"

"Target locked!"

Just as Mosquito Girl complained, a streak of fire shot toward her. She instantly evaded it with her nimble movements.

"He caught up so quickly?"

Mosquito Girl frowned slightly. She had thought Wu Di had caught up, but upon closer inspection, she saw an unfamiliar face.

"I see. You control the mosquito swarm to suck blood, then keep it all for yourself? If you send some sort of signal to the mosquitoes and use it to control them, that would explain why they move in such a strange collective pattern."

"In other words, if I eliminate you, these annoying mosquitoes will disappear as well."

Genos stared expressionlessly at Mosquito Girl before him, not taking her seriously in the slightest.

"Hehehe~ I don't know who you are, but since you're here, prepare to be sucked dry. Go!"

Mosquito Girl revealed an excited expression as the mosquito swarm dove down upon Genos like a dark canopy, engulfing him completely.

"Incinerate!"

A cold voice rang out as enormous flames spread outward, instantly burning the mosquito swarm to ashes.

"I'm going to eliminate you!"

"Hehehe~ You're saying you're going to eliminate me? Then give it a try!"

Mosquito Girl's expression instantly turned savage as she dove straight down.

She had always been invincible, yet today she had already been forced to flee after losing to Wu Di. Now some brat had appeared claiming he would eliminate her. This was utterly intolerable.

Boom, boom, boom~ Explosions continuously rang out across Z City. Wu Di had just followed the mosquito swarm here.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk~ It's quite lively here. I didn't expect them to have already started fighting."
