Dragon-level [Vaccine Man]

"Another monster has appeared, huh? Time to serve up some justice."

Saitama immediately put down his controller and paused the game.

But just as he was about to change into his superhero outfit and head out, he realized Bai Ye had already vanished from beside him.

"He left that fast? He must've gone to where the monster is. I'd better get going too."

Muttering to himself, Saitama changed into his combat outfit and immediately headed for A City.

This time, Saitama didn't get lost.

Bai Ye still reached A City first, though. The moment he saw the news and judged that the monster was most likely the Dragon-level monster [Vaccine Man], he had immediately traveled there through the Kamui Dimension.

He hadn't left a Flying Thunder God mark in A City yet, but transferring through Kamui only took the blink of an eye, too.

[Physique +108]

[Hashirama cells +5]

[Physique: 218]

[Hashirama cells: 9]

The very instant he transferred to A City, Bai Ye quickly spent all his points on his physique and Hashirama cells.

He was facing a Dragon-level monster this time. He wouldn't be careless in the slightest.

BOOM!!

Just then, Bai Ye heard a deafening explosion nearby.

The blast covered such a vast area that it reached him in an instant.

Bai Ye's Mangekyō Sharingan activated abruptly, and he used Intangibility to ignore the explosion entirely.

Meanwhile, a vast stretch of buildings around him was blown apart, reduced to rubble in the blink of an eye.

Not only that, Bai Ye also saw several enormous orbs of light flying through the sky in different directions.

This was precisely the ability of the Dragon-level monster [Vaccine Man], suspected to have been bestowed by "God," just like [Homeless Emperor]'s power.

Bai Ye immediately moved to stop the orbs. He opened three spatial portals at once, intercepting the three orbs in the air.

He didn't merely intercept them; the portals transferred them all into the Kamui Dimension.

"?!"

When the expected explosions failed to happen, Vaccine Man was instantly taken aback.

Refusing to believe it, he floated into the air and launched several more orbs of light, flinging them in every direction.

Yet Bai Ye intercepted them all again with Dual Kamui's transfer ability. Fortunately, Dual Kamui could open multiple spatial portals simultaneously, which proved immensely useful at a time like this.

"What the hell?!"

Vaccine Man was utterly stunned.

By now, Bai Ye had spotted Vaccine Man: the muscular figure floating in the distance who looked much like Demon King Piccolo.

He instantly transferred in front of Vaccine Man, raised his hand, and threw all his kunai. Every one of them bore a Flying Thunder God mark.

As a Dragon-level monster, Vaccine Man also had top-tier reaction speed. He tilted his head to one side, dodging the kunai flying straight at his face.

"Who are you?"

Vaccine Man wasn't in any hurry to attack and asked at a leisurely pace.

But Bai Ye wasn't about to waste words with Vaccine Man at a time like this. As soon as the kunai flew past Vaccine Man's ear and entered his blind spot, Bai Ye struck.

Flying Thunder God Slash!

The Red Night Blade appeared out of thin air in Bai Ye's hand, and he moved at a speed invisible to the naked eye, slashing at Vaccine Man.

It happened so abruptly that even the Dragon-level Vaccine Man couldn't react to the Flying Thunder God Technique's deadly first strike.

Before he even realized what had happened, Bai Ye had already passed through him and retrieved the kunai.

"Urgh!"

Vaccine Man suddenly coughed up blood. Only then did he realize he had actually been injured.

"Just an unremarkable rookie hero."

Only then did Bai Ye reply coolly.

Vaccine Man hastily turned around as his body underwent a drastic transformation, rapidly swelling in size.

He mutated into a monster dozens, perhaps even a hundred meters tall. His head became hideous and terrifying, and claws several meters long sprouted from both hands.

Bai Ye's expression remained unchanged at the sight.

He neither dodged nor evaded the enormous claws as they struck, letting them pass straight through his body.

"What?!"

Vaccine Man found it utterly unbelievable.

I should've torn this human to shreds. How did I hit nothing?

At that moment, Bai Ye threw his kunai again.

This time, Vaccine Man didn't even bother dodging, apparently supremely confident in his defenses while in his berserk state.

The kunai indeed failed to inflict any real damage, merely lodging in Vaccine Man's enormous head.

To Vaccine Man, it was no different from a scratch.

However...

Bai Ye directly coated the edge of the Red Night Blade with Kamui's power, as though enchanting it.

Now the Red Night Blade also possessed Kamui's spatial severing ability, allowing it to ignore all physical defenses. No matter how tough Vaccine Man was, it would be useless unless he could counter the Kamui Dimension...

Bai Ye instantly used the Flying Thunder God Technique, appearing atop Vaccine Man's head and beheading him.

With Kamui's power coating the Red Night Blade, Bai Ye felt no resistance at all. Cutting off Vaccine Man's head was easier than chopping vegetables.

Vaccine Man's head rolled to the ground, but he didn't die immediately. He stared fixedly at Bai Ye, his eyes filled with disbelief.

[Ding! Host defeated a Dragon-level monster for the first time. Reward obtained: 50 points!]

Just then, Saitama, who had only just changed into his combat outfit, arrived.

"Huh? You already beat him? Looks like I'm late."

Saitama looked at [Vaccine Man]'s severed head and body on the ground, his face showing little expression.

He had no interest in competing for fame or profit, so he wouldn't steal Bai Ye's credit. Otherwise, he could have shattered [Vaccine Man]'s head with a single punch right then.

Still not quite dead, Vaccine Man tried to fire orbs of light at Bai Ye using only his head. Orbs formed inside his mouth in an instant.

But Bai Ye directly transferred Vaccine Man into the Kamui Dimension.

Vaccine Man found himself in a dim, mysterious world without a trace of life in sight. Having been about to launch his orbs, he was suddenly left looking around in bewilderment, with no idea where to aim.

Suddenly, Bai Ye appeared behind him, but he failed to notice at first.

"Die... or submit. Your choice."

Only upon hearing that voice did Vaccine Man abruptly try to turn his head.

He discovered that he couldn't turn it at all. Instead, he could only roll backward in a comical fashion, ending up upside down on the top of his head as he faced Bai Ye.

At that moment, Vaccine Man's eyes met Bai Ye's Mangekyō Sharingan.

The enormous eyes stared into the smaller ones. In his berserk form, just one of Vaccine Man's eyeballs was almost larger than Bai Ye's entire body.

Vaccine Man's previously pure-white eyes suddenly became blood-red Sharingan, but the change vanished in an instant.
