Infinite Kelp Monster

"Demon-level monster, Infinite Kelp!"

Wu Di's expression turned serious. Being able to easily defeat two long-established A-Class heroes, the monster before him was at least an Upper Demon-level.

"What's going on? Are you a hero too? I hope you can last a little longer."

A wicked smile appeared on Infinite Kelp's pitch-black face as a strand of kelp instantly lunged at Wu Di.

Wu Di, relying on his agile footwork, dodged the attack. However, dozens of kelp strands then appeared, covering the sky as they swarmed towards him.

"System, activate experience card!"

"Ding~ Experience card for B-Class Rank 1, Blizzard of Hell's Talent Skill activated."

Buzz~ An invisible wave spread out, and the kelp attacks momentarily halted in mid-air. Seizing this opportunity, Wu Di's figure shot out from the gap, charging directly towards Infinite Kelp.

"Psychic Powers? Quite capable! Steelification!"

Infinite Kelp remained unfazed, and a strand of kelp instantly blocked in front of him.

Boom~ Wu Di felt as if he had punched a steel plate, his finger bones directly fracturing.

"Lash!"

Bang~ Wu Di's body was violently whipped away. Then, dozens of attacks struck again. At this moment, his body in mid-air had no way to evade.

Just as Infinite Kelp thought he had succeeded, the smile on its face froze. Wu Di's body actually twisted and turned in mid-air, nimbly dodging all the attacks.

"Phew~ Although there's no bonus from talent growth points, it's still good for flying and increasing speed."

Wu Di was quite satisfied with this talent. It offered both offense and defense, and it had significantly improved his overall capabilities.

"Combine!!!"

Rumble~ The ground began to tremble. Under Wu Di's control, two massive stones surged from the ground beneath Infinite Kelp's feet, trapping it in the middle.

"Frenzied Sweep!"

For Infinite Kelp, attacks of this magnitude were completely insignificant. Countless kelp strands shattered the giant stones and fiercely attacked Wu Di in the air.

Bang, bang, bang~ Wu Di, relying on his Psychic Powers talent and the enhancement from his Battle Suit, repelled the kelp attacks time and again, but it was difficult to get close to Infinite Kelp's main body.

"Hmm? Has this guy's strength increased?!"

After dozens of rounds of combat, Infinite Kelp's expression gradually turned serious. It could clearly feel Wu Di's strength steadily increasing.

He had gone from desperately dodging attacks to now being able to confront them head-on, matching the strength.

Swish, swish, swish~ As the kelp swung, Wu Di suddenly spotted an opening and directly manipulated his Psychic Powers towards Infinite Kelp's main body.

"Now!"

Wu Di arrived in front of Infinite Kelp. Just as he was about to unleash a punch filled with power, a strand of kelp shot up from underground, piercing directly through his body.

Drip, drip~ Crimson blood trickled onto the ground along the slender kelp. Infinite Kelp's face showed a triumphant smile.

"You are indeed much stronger than those two wastes, but that's as far as you go."

"Is that so?"

Wu Di, whose body had been pierced, suddenly raised his head, a sinister smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Infinite Kelp's pupils constricted. Its keen intuition sensed a deadly threat, but unfortunately, the distance between them was too close to dodge.

"Full power! Die!!!"

Rumble~ A terrifying shockwave flattened the surrounding houses, leaving deep ravines on the narrow road.

Thump~ Wu Di also collapsed to the ground weakly. The previous strike had consumed all his strength.

"Battle Suit durability reduced by thirty points."

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for defeating an Upper Demon-level monster. Reward: Nine hundred Talent Points. Monster Slayer Order, completion percentage for defeating Demon-level monsters: one-fifteenth."

"Damn it, I lost big this time. No experience card dropped."

Wu Di, panting, managed to stand up. He had used the experience card for B-Class Rank 1, Ximen Chuixue, this time.

His body had also been pierced by Infinite Kelp, causing the Battle Suit's durability to drop by a third. In the end, he only received nine hundred Talent Points, and this time he had killed an Upper Demon-level monster yet no experience card dropped.

"Hmm? Wu Di! Was that commotion caused by you?"

Wu Di, mustering his strength against his fatigue, vaguely saw a shiny bald head walking towards him. Then, he completely lost his strength and passed out.

"Why did you fall asleep so quickly?"

Saitama scratched his head, not understanding. Then, he picked up Wu Di with one hand, slung him over his shoulder, and headed towards the residential area.

However, not long after they left, a group of heroes led by A-Class Rank 6, Azure Flame, arrived at the scene.

"Hey, what is this? What kind of monster could cause this much destruction?"

"Is this part of the monster that fought Golden Ball and the others?"

Max Flash picked up a piece of kelp fragment that had fallen on the ground, his expression grave.

"No, the information said that after Golden Ball and Spring Mustaches were defeated, a C-Class hero was fighting the monster. Could these be the traces of their battle?"

"Impossible. To cause this level of destruction, it must be at least a Demon-level monster. How could a mere C-Class hero possibly resist it?"

"No matter what, make sure to inform the Association immediately. There is definitely some kind of monster in this ghost town."

Qing Yan's expression was unusually grim. He had initially thought it was just an ordinary monster, but after seeing the scene, he knew he was terribly mistaken.

Monsters of this caliber were not something they could handle. They would likely need the Association to dispatch S-Class Heroes.

As for that C-Class Hero, Qing Yan and the others had searched the nearby area without any findings, so they could only report it all to the Association.

City A, Hero Association Headquarters.

"Regarding the investigation results in Z City, there were no abnormalities in the commercial or residential areas, but we encountered a ferocious and vicious monster in the uninhabited zone."

"Two A-Class Heroes were defeated, and one C-Class Hero and the monster have gone missing. The dispatched reinforcement team found nothing and only transmitted photos from the scene."

"As of now, it's impossible to determine if the monster was defeated or is still lurking in the uninhabited zone. We also cannot contact the missing Heroes."

Jace looked at the photos on the screen with a solemn expression, his mind lost in thought.

Just then, customer service representative Maria suddenly received a call. However, upon seeing the caller ID, she was extremely surprised.

"Director Jace, it's Wu Di, ranked fiftieth among C-Class Heroes!"

"What?!"

Jace bypassed Maria directly and answered the call.

"Hello! Is this Wu Di? Where are you right now? How's the situation? Where did the monster go? Are you injured?"
