That's the Ghost Town in Z City. It's said to be a forbidden zone for humans, where powerful monsters lurk, making it the perfect target for my hunt!
Seeing Sonic's boundless enthusiasm, Asuramaru nodded slightly in satisfaction. "That's how it should be."
However, before the killings began, Asuramaru turned his attention to another swordsman Unlicensed Rider Satoru Suzuki.
He was standing outside the Inaho Hospital in City F, his hand wrapped in bandages, surrounded by a crowd of reporters taking pictures.
A female reporter stepped forward, microphone in hand, and said with a professional smile, "This attack was only resolved thanks to the presence of the Unlicensed Rider."
"I only contributed my small share, and I wasn't the one who defeated those evil people. Please recognize this."
Despite the adulation from the crowd, Satoru Suzuki remained remarkably calm and composed, showing no intention of taking credit for himself.
He stepped forward not for personal gain.
For the sake of others' admiration.
He stood up simply to uphold what he believed to be justice!
But these reporters didn't care about that.
They spoke to the camera, saying to themselves, "The Unlicensed Rider is too modest, but he is still a hero who protected City F!"
Looking at these hypocritical reporters, the Unlicensed Rider smiled helplessly, turned his back to the crowd, and walked alone to the bike shed.
He found his bicycle, took out his key, unlocked it, and then rode it straight away from the place.
However, halfway through his journey, that figure kept involuntarily replaying in his mind.
Chapter 168 The Abstract Eccentric
That version of myself while I was unconscious.
The girl I vaguely saw, and the words she said to me.
Her name seems to be Asuramaru.
If you want power, you must give it your all to gain her approval, and she is watching you.
But upon closer reflection, he realized he might be overthinking it; after all, such a thing shouldn't happen to an ordinary person like him.
Abandon this unrealistic idea.
Satoru Suzuki suddenly noticed a disturbance coming from the pager distributed by the Hero Association around his waist and quickly pulled the car over to the side.
I took it out and looked at it.
It was clearly written on it.
A wolf-level disaster has appeared in Shuihu Street, City F. Heroes in the vicinity are requested to go and suppress it! (Disaster levels are divided into: Wolf, Tiger, Ghost, Dragon, and God)
Even the weakest wolf-level threat is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, and it doesn't seem to be very far away.
The Unlicensed Rider immediately hopped on his bicycle and headed towards Shuihu Street, even removing the bandages from his hands.
They rushed there as fast as they could.
He saw a large number of civilians fleeing as he approached the outermost edge of the Shuihu Street, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that a hero had arrived.
"Great! The hero has arrived!"
"That was Unlicensed Rider, we're safe."
"The Unlicensed Rider! That weirdo is in the lingerie store in the middle of the street!"
Hearing the sounds around him, the Unlicensed Rider immediately identified the key information and hurriedly rode his bike to the center of the street.
After parking and locking the bicycle on the side of the road.
Then he hurried toward the lingerie store on the left side of the street, until he reached the damaged store entrance and looked through the broken glass.
Inside, there stood a strange person with entirely pink hair, wearing a bitter tea hat on their head, and their face covered by underwear that seemed to be glued to their body!
Inside the store, it was yelling at a female sales clerk, "Why?! Why wear underwear! Underwear is for admiring, it's art!"
You despicable bastards who ruin art deserve to die! Give me yours too! You vile creature!
Asuramaru, standing in the sword, was completely bewildered. Even the Cursed Spirit from the previous world weren't as abstract as you. If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't get out...
I'll kill you myself!
The saleswoman was also quite frightened. When she saw the Unlicensed Rider enter, she hurriedly pleaded for help, "Please... please save me..."
Upon hearing this, the strange man also turned around.
Looking at the Unlicensed Rider behind her, her eyes beneath her underwear revealed hatred. "Anyone who gets in my way of saving the underwear deserves to die!"
As he spoke, he attacked Satoru Suzuki directly, throwing a punch straight at his face.
Fortunately, Satoru Suzuki raised his right arm to block it, but the immense force still caused him to take a step back.
"What incredible strength!"
Looking through the strange man at the sales clerk who had already taken the opportunity to escape, Satoru Suzuki felt relieved and got into a fighting stance to confront the strange man head-on.
To Asuramaru, who was in the sword, this was like a farce.
Satoru Suzuki, unable to defend himself in time due to his arm injury, was knocked to the ground by the strange man's punch, who then walked up to him and shouted.
"Hand over your underwear too!"
Asuramaru, with his sword in hand, was starting to lose his composure at the thought of that scene. "You should just die!" he thought.
He immediately released his Demon Power, which surged into Satoru Suzuki's limbs and bones, and even the injury to his arm was healed.
At the same time, a pleasant voice rang in my mind, "Quickly, get rid of it!"
The voice in his mind made his body tremble, which gave the strange man an opportunity. He punched him in the face.
But this time...
The fist landed on his face, but Satoru Suzuki didn't even feel any pain, and even his injured left arm had fully recovered!
That's not a dream!
If that's the case, then that girl is real too!
The sound just now...
She's watching me!
With this thought in mind, Satoru Suzuki was full of energy.
After being weak for so long, he finally saw his own hope!
This time, he punched the strange man in front of him, sending him flying. The man crashed through several cabinets before finally stopping his backward flight.
"Is... is this still me?"
Satoru Suzuki looked down at his hands, his face filled with disbelief. Was this still the same weak and helpless man he once was?
Just when he was feeling lost...
The strange creature, dragging its heavily injured body, stepped forward once more, roaring to the sky, "Bearing the mission of saving the underwear, I cannot lose!"
It roared as it charged forward.
Faced with this strange man, he might have avoided him in the past, but now he wanted to try to fight back!
He then exerted force with both hands and lunged forward as well.
They collided head-on with this strange man.
However, with a little effort, the strange man uncontrollably staggered backward, and Satoru Suzuki, while delighted, quickly calmed down.
Push it forward sharply and then backward, then step forward and punch it directly in the head.
With this punch...
The strange man's head exploded instantly!
Looking at the dark green blood staining his fist, Satoru Suzuki was momentarily stunned until the power that had been surging within him disappeared again.
He then came to his senses.
He quickly suppressed his excitement and tentatively asked.
"Are you Asuramaru one I saw in my dream before? Did you lend me the power I just received?"
In response to the question, Asuramaru in the sword replied, "Lending you my power this time doesn't mean I approve of you; it's just because that weirdo disgusts me."
Upon hearing the voice in his mind once again, Satoru Suzuki was overwhelmed with joy and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Then who are you? Why did you lend me your power, and why were you in my dreams...?"
Before he could finish speaking...
He was interrupted impatiently by Asuramaru, who was still holding the sword, "Why do you ask so many questions? I've already said everything I needed to say. All you need to know is that I am the sword you carry on your back. Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."
Despite being reprimanded, Satoru Suzuki still couldn't contain his excitement.
God knows how much effort he put in.
Train your body, learn martial arts!
He even went to various martial arts schools to try to learn boxing techniques, but they all forbade him from joining them because they said he had no talent.
At the very beginning, he could only rely on himself. Now that he finally has the possibility of becoming stronger, how could he not be excited!
So much so that tears welled up in her eyes, even behind her goggles, and she couldn't hold them back. "Finally... finally I can become stronger too..."
However, apart from that...
The hazy, beautiful figure involuntarily flashed through his mind; to him, this was the angel who had come to save him!
However, at that moment, some brave ordinary people finally approached the door, and when they saw the strange man who was already dead inside...
They finally cheered with joy.
A moment later.
The reporters who rushed to the scene were left empty-handed; all that remained was the strange man's corpse, while the Unlicensed Rider had already silently ridden away on his bicycle.
(The first day of the college entrance examination has passed; everyone needs to keep up the good work.)
Chapter 169 Daily Quarrels
Time flies like an arrow.
Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Sonic had also arrived alone in the Ghost Town of Z City, and in just a few days he had killed more than a dozen monsters.
Especially when feeling the abundant and powerful energy within their bodies, they find it hard to suppress their excitement.
However, even in Ghost Town, finding a monster is not an easy task. Sonic, who had been busy all morning, had not found even a single monster.
I couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
He silently questioned the blade behind him.
"Hey, kill one more monster and we can unlock Thousand Blades, right?"
The words were finished.
Asuramaru's voice echoed in her mind, "That depends on the strength of the monster you kill. According to the so-called classification, it must be at least Demon Level strength."
Upon hearing this, Sonic coldly rebuked, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and find the monster!"
In response to this reprimand, Asuramaru retorted just as irritably, "Who do you think you are ordering around? Get your attitude straight!"
The two frequently argued.
However, Asuramaru quickly changed the subject and warned, "Head east, there are strange people fighting there!"
"They've finally arrived!"
Sonic immediately adjusted his stance, and in an instant, his figure vanished silently from the spot.
At the same time.
Several blocks away.
A battle was taking place at that moment, and on one side of the wrecked ground on the street lay a middle-aged man who had lost consciousness.
