Chapter 212: The Deep Sea Tribe Monster's Invasion
Chapter 212: The Deep Sea Tribe Monster's Invasion
If it weren't for the fact that Fubuki and Lily had a close relationship, and even Lily herself greatly admired Fubuki, Glasses and the others would have thought that Fubuki was sending Lily and her team to their deaths.
Lily was ranked 74th among B-Class heroes, and the others in her squad were even lower in rankings!
With such a lineup against a Peak Tiger-Level Lobster Monster, wasn't this a suicide mission?
"Regarding this, you don't need to worry at all. I would never make a decision that would put my team members in harm's way.
At the same time, my arrangement is completely reasonable. In fact, Lily's team is the safest choice.
You may not believe me, but I still suggest that you don't underestimate Night City... Don't treat him as an ordinary newcomer."
Fubuki, usually so proud, had spoken these words, and the members of the Blizzard Group present were now looking at Night City with surprised eyes.
However, Night City, dressed in cheap casual wear and wearing flip-flops, didn't seem to possess the strength Fubuki had mentioned.
"I understand, I believe in Fubuki's words. If Fubuki trusts him so much, then there's no doubt about it."
As Fubuki's super fan, Lily ultimately rejected Glasses' suggestion to reassign the team, and resolutely led Night City and the others to confront the Lobster Monster.
In a certain city, a monster with a red shell and wielding a pair of giant claws—a Lobster Monster—was wreaking havoc.
The monster was about three meters tall, and its powerful claws could easily tear through human flesh, steel, and even rocks.
"It's Trisect Cane Lilly! Finally, the Hero Association's heroes have arrived.
If I remember correctly, Lily and her team should be members of the Blizzard Group, right? If it's Hell Frost, then they'll definitely be able to..."
As one of the few female heroes and with her exceptional looks, Lily had gained some fame despite being a B-Class hero.
So, when the residents saw Lily and her team arrive, they were delighted.
"Everyone, please move to a safe area. Leave this monster to us, the Blizzard Group..."
"Boom——————!"
Before Lily could finish her sentence, a massive explosion sounded, and two members of the Blizzard Group were blown away by the blast.
Monsters were classified into five levels: Wolf, Tiger, Ghost, Dragon, and God. In theory, Peak Tiger-Level monsters were typically defeated by high-ranking B-Class heroes or even A-Class heroes.
This time, the Blizzard Group, including Night City and Lily, had five members to deal with the Lobster Monster.
Just as Lily was evacuating the crowd, three expendable members of the Blizzard Group stepped forward to halt the monster's advance.
However, within just a few minutes, these nameless extras lost their fighting ability.
"So, you're the so-called heroes? You don't seem that impressive.
Our King will soon conquer the land you inhabit, and all of you will bow down to him!"
There were various types of monsters, some evolved from human mutations, while others belonged to unique species.
And the Lobster Demon that now stood before Yecheng and his team undoubtedly fell into the latter category.
When Li Li saw her companion being struck and sent flying by the Lobster Demon, she quickly drew her weapon, the Tri-Section Staff, and sprinted forward with all her might.
However, when she swung the staff with all her strength, it made a crisp, muffled sound as it struck the Lobster Demon's body.
The Lobster Demon stood firm, taking Li Li's full-powered blow, but not only did it show no signs of injury, its red shell didn't even have a scratch.
"Are all the Hero Association heroes this feeble? I can't believe people were actually afraid of them before.
If I'd known these so-called heroes were so weak, we wouldn't have needed our King's command to abandon the sea and come ashore."
As Li Li prepared to retreat, her face filled with astonishment, the Lobster Demon was quick to react. It used one of its massive claws to grab her staff and, with a powerful swing, hurled her high into the air.
Li Li, without the ability to fly or adjust her posture mid-air, plummeted downward due to gravity.
Below her, the Lobster Demon waved its enormous claws, ready to tear her to pieces as she fell.
Feeling her body in freefall and the terrifying claws beneath her, Li Li closed her eyes in despair.
"Can you tell me more about your so-called King?
And how many of you... I mean, how many of your colleagues are here?"
Just as Li Li was about to land in front of the Lobster Demon, a figure suddenly darted from the side, moving at an even more astonishing speed. In the instant the Lobster Demon was about to clamp its claws, this figure snatched Li Li away.
Even while snatching the food from the Lobster Demon's grasp, they didn't forget to use the monster's face as a stepping stone, kicking it down.
"Another human ant, huh? But with your pathetic abilities, do you even deserve to know the name of our great King?
You dared to step on the face of the great Lobster Demon, so I've decided that before I deal with that woman, I'll tear you into three pieces!"
The Lobster Demon, having just been kicked down by Yecheng, climbed back up with a face full of anger.
But before it could react further, its vision only caught a glimpse of the female hero; the man had completely vanished!
"I've also decided that steamed lobster is the best!
I no longer care what type of seafood your King is; the important thing is that this kind of seafood bonanza isn't something you get every day, so I don't want to waste time!"
As Yecheng suddenly sprinted towards the Lobster Demon, Li Li, who had just been rescued, was about to warn him about the monster's hard shell when she saw him clench his fist and throw a punch.
At the same moment, the Lobster Demon, seeing Yecheng's punch coming, wore an arrogant expression.
It was confident in the defense of its shell; if the hero had used a weapon, it might have been a different story, but a mere human fist...
