So someone has to change all of this! I, Hammerhead, will change all of this, turning it into a society where people who love to work support everyone else!
This grand goal will be achieved by our Paradise Group! First, we'll destroy the mansion of the wealthy Zenier —a symbol of inequality—and let everyone know we're serious!
The words had barely left his mouth.
Shouts came from behind.
"Wait, you wicked people!"
When everyone turned around, they saw the Unlicensed Rider arrive, park his bicycle, and lock it under everyone's gaze.
Then he jogged forward, got into position, and said.
"I am C-Class hero, Unlicensed Rider, and I will not allow you to run rampant!"
"Hero? What a laughable and boring profession! Why stop us who have lofty ideals?!"
The Hammerhead roared as it charged forward.
Despite knowing the disparity in power between them, the Unlicensed Rider resolutely chose to confront this colossal figure head-on.
However, he was met with a punch from the Hammerhead.
The Unlicensed Rider collapsed to the ground and immediately passed out.
Hammerhead looked at the unconscious Unlicensed Rider lying on the ground in front of him and couldn't help but curse, "You dare to stop us with this little bit of strength? What a joke!"
My comrades, let us continue to fight for our ideals!
This made Asuramaru frown slightly, thinking to himself, "The Paradise Group? According to the original story, it seems that Boros's arrival is imminent..."
It's unrealistic to expect to quickly improve your strength by relying on someone like Unlicensed Rider, who has extremely high moral standards.
Choosing Sonic was definitely the right decision!
However, since they are both sword masters, we can't favor one over the other. We'll reluctantly train Unlicensed Rider to pass the time, while guiding Sonic to quickly improve his strength!
Having basically determined what he wanted to do, Asuramaru began his first communication with the sword master.
A black thread, barely visible to the naked eye, was released from the blade and slowly touched the body of the Unlicensed Rider.
He was drawn into the spiritual realm.
By constructing a perfect illusion based on his memories, he is also put into a subconscious state.
The scene from before played out again, except this time the Unlicensed Rider took a punch from Hammerhead, but the punch still made him vomit blood.
Unable to hold back, he staggered and fell to his knees.
Meanwhile, under Asuramaru's control, the Hammerhead slowly stepped forward and coldly mocked and ridiculed.
"You heroes are nothing but a bunch of people who only care about fame and fortune. How can you compare to us who have lofty ideals!"
"Trying to become famous by defeating us? You're quite the treacherous fellow!" As he spoke, his henchmen behind him burst into mocking laughter.
"Hahaha, I can't understand what this weakling is thinking."
"Seriously, does even a weakling like this deserve to be called a hero? Does the Hero Association just accept anyone these days?"
Despite their mockery, the Unlicensed Rider did not get angry. Instead, he stood up firmly and replied.
"I became a hero simply to protect the weak! To stand on the right side and fight with all my might to uphold the truth called justice!"
Laugh all you want! My sense of justice will not yield to your demands!
Upon hearing this, Hammerhead stepped forward and punched him to the ground again, then stepped on his head and mocked him maliciously.
"You won't compromise? Then I'll beat you until you have no choice but to compromise!"
After saying that, he started punching and kicking!
Even though the Unlicensed Rider was on the verge of death, when Hammerhead questioned him, he received only one answer.
"I... will not compromise!"
"Fine! Very well! You still won't compromise, huh? Then I'll go and kill all the weak you're trying to protect!" Hammerhead turned to leave.
But the Unlicensed Rider below, relying on his last shred of willpower, steadfastly clung to the Hammerhead's left leg, "As long as I'm here, you won't succeed..."
Chapter 164 The Ideal World!
But he was met with the inhuman brutal beating of the Hammerhead until he was completely lifeless, and his bloodied hands still did not leave his left leg.
Seeing this scene...
Asuramaru was also somewhat moved.
"I'm so bad."
However, this also reveals Unlicensed Rider's true nature.
He's a decent person and worth nurturing.
However, now is not the time to acknowledge him.
With a thought, Asuramaru made the lifeless Unlicensed Rider struggle to open his blood-stained eyes again.
Within his sight.
The menacing Hammerhead had vanished, replaced by a stunningly beautiful young woman, though her face was obscured by blood.
At the same time, his consciousness was also in a dazed state.
Until Asuramaru, standing before him, slowly spoke, "Kid, I've sensed your desire to protect others. Tell me your name."
Upon hearing this, the Unlicensed Rider almost instinctively replied haltingly, "My name is... Satoru Suzuki, and who are you...?"
In response to this question, Asuramaru smiled slightly and said, "My name is Asuramaru. If you want power, then fight with everything to gain my approval!"
I will be watching you!
That's all.
He then directly sent it out of the mental world.
Meanwhile, outside, the Unlicensed Rider had already been laid on a stretcher and taken away by an ambulance.
After finishing all this, Asuramaru turned around and looked curiously at the Thousand-Bladed Demonic Sword template to see if it had a sword spirit.
"System, does the Thousand-Bladed Demonic Sword have a sword spirit?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The system then provided an answer.
[Ding! The Thousand-Bladed Demonic Sword has its own exclusive sword spirit!]
Upon hearing this, Asuramaru almost burst into tears. Not wanting to wait a moment longer, he hurriedly said, "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and change me!"
[Ding! Blade Spirit Template Attire Activated!]
As the system notification sounded, Asuramaru also felt changes in his body, and a new power surged within him.
But in the blink of an eye, I came to my senses.
When Asuramaru created a mirror in his spiritual world to look at himself, he frowned and couldn't help but question it.
"System, you call changing clothes 'template replacement'? Are you doing this on purpose?!"
All I could see in the mirror.
He still had his original form as Asuramaru, but now he had a dark purple demon mask on the left side of his head.
A purple wheel appeared behind him, floating in mid-air, and a light purple armor that fit his body appeared on his body.
Looking at her current appearance, Asuramaru's pretty face darkened.
The system quickly offered an explanation.
"Ding! I am the system. I will not intentionally target the host. The spirit of the Demon Blade template is the Demon Lord. It does not have a real physical form, but relies on the Blade Master to possess it and manifest in the world."
Hearing this, Asuramaru understood and immediately retorted irritably, "You possess me without a master, huh?"
This is the second template in a row.
I didn't even have a chance to change the sword spirit. Was it just bad luck, or was it intentional on the system's part?
With a helpless sigh, he immediately dispelled the possession and shifted his gaze to another swordsman Sonic.
City F.
The Golden Shit Tower is located in the city center!
On the top floor, an elderly man in a suit stood in the luxurious room, anxiously reminding his boss.
"Mr. Zenier, please run away quickly!"
On the other hand, the middle-aged man opposite him, dressed in an expensive bathrobe, with a bulky body and short blond hair, seemed somewhat hesitant.
"But the other side is terrorists. If I run away... wouldn't that leave a bad impression?"
Just as the two hesitated...
Behind him, by the window, stood a man in a specially made combat suit with a purple scarf. Two purple lines marked the corners of his eyes on his handsome face, and his jet-black bangs fell down his forehead, while the rest of his hair was tied up.
Sonic appeared here at some point, and not wanting to attract their attention, he spoke slowly and coldly.
There's no need for that.
His words finally caught the attention of the two men.
Facing their gazes, Sonic calmly crossed his arms and continued, "You're lucky. You didn't expect something like this to happen while you were employing me."
Upon hearing this, Zenier seemed to see a lifeline and quickly asked, "Oh, Sonic, can you handle all of this? I'll pay you extra!"
The moment the words "add more money" were uttered, Sonic's figure by the window vanished instantly, appearing in the blink of an eye at the entrance behind the two.
"Of course, no problem. What you need to worry about is their lives, and what you should be thinking about is how to deal with the mountains of corpses!"
"Thugs in new combat suits? I'll kill them all with my own hands!"
Having said that, his figure vanished instantly.
But the murderous aura he had just released still shocked Zenier and his companion, causing them to break out in a cold sweat, as if they had just been on the verge of death!
Asuramaru, who was inside the sword, witnessed everything that had just happened. His first reaction was sympathy, but this was quickly followed by satisfaction with the sword's wielder.
A decisive and powerful swordsman is exactly what I need right now, and Sonic perfectly fits my expectations.
All that's left is to instill in him the desire to become stronger quickly, and we'll be all set!
And you don't need to worry about that.
You agree, right, Saitama!
Outside world.
On the way to the Golden Shit Tower, the Paradise Group passes through Zenier's own backyard, a nearly complete forest!
Walking along the man-made path through the woods, the surrounding scenery is picturesque and peaceful!
Hammerhead was walking at the front, suddenly heard a shifty-eyed henchman beside him remind him, "Boss, the mansion of Zenier is just ahead after we cross this forest."
"Then let's start here and build the world of our dreams!" Hammerhead strode forward.
But only a moment later.
They arrived at a narrow canyon. A shadow flickered behind a lamppost on the right side of the road, and Hammerhead immediately noticed something was amiss.
"Stop! There seems to be someone here. Stop playing tricks and come out!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
From the dark shadows behind the lampstand, black mist billowed out, and Sonic appeared in everyone's sight, slowly speaking.
"Hammerhead, I've been waiting for you for ages!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled off his mask.
"Let me remind you before I start: I've never let anyone I've fought come back alive, and I'll continue to think that way in the future. Execute the job perfectly."
Surrender now and I'll spare your lives!
