As rumors about Bang and Atomic Samurai spread throughout the Hero Association's internal network...
A man who had always been indifferent to everything in the outside world finally took a little interest in someone else's battle.
He was a handsome man with long black hair, his face always bearing a hint of listlessness and world-weariness.
He was the Hero Association's eighth-ranked S-Class hero, the ultimate immortal from the House of Evolution-
Zombieman.
"Oh?"
As he read the top-secret battle report on Ye Chuan in his hands, an exceedingly rare flicker of curiosity crossed eyes that had long since grown indifferent to life and death.
"A monster who could defeat both Bang and Atomic Samurai?"
"And he possesses some unknown ability that leaves even the Tornado of Terror helpless?"
He had absolute confidence in his ultimate immortal body, which could recover no matter how grievously it was injured.
He decided to personally test...
The true strength of that mysterious man whom Child Emperor had classified as Dragon-level.
On a pitch-black, windy night...
Zombieman slipped soundlessly into the dilapidated apartment in Z City's abandoned district like a master assassin.
He saw his target lying on the couch, seemingly deep asleep.
Zombieman did not hesitate in the slightest!
From beneath his trench coat, he drew the fire axe that had accompanied him through countless days and nights!
Then he gathered every ounce of his terrifying undead strength into his arms!
He brought it crashing down on Ye Chuan, who lay defenseless in his sleep!
He was certain that even Superalloy Darkshine, one of the strongest S-Class heroes, could not take this axe blow head-on without a scratch!
However-
Clang-!!!
A metallic clash shrill enough to tear through eardrums suddenly rang out!
Zombieman felt an impossibly immense force rebound through his fire axe!
