Chapter 913: Yecheng, the Marked "Elite Strength"!
Chapter 913: Yecheng, the Marked "Elite Strength"!
Among the S-Class heroes, the disparity in strength is significant, even between those at the lower end of the S-Class like Genos and the Sexy Prisoner. They could even go toe-to-toe with Ghost-Class Peak monsters, let's not even mention Dragon-Class monsters.
The third and fourth S-Class heroes, "Silver Fang" and "Atomic Samurai," are highly ranked and indeed capable of slaying Dragon-Class monsters. But that's only in relative terms.
As formidable martial artists, their destructive capabilities are limited. When faced with Dragon-Class monsters of immense size or regenerative abilities, they are utterly helpless.
The Centipede Elder, on the other hand, is a formidable monster with a massive body and the ability to shed its skin for regeneration.
According to the Monster Association's strategist, Dajingyan, while they don't hold human heroes from the Hero Association in high regard, there are indeed a few S-Class heroes within the association that warrant their attention.
First is the top-ranked S-Class hero, "Blast," who needs no further introduction. As a consistently top-ranked S-Class hero, Blast is enigmatic and powerful. The Centipede Elder nearly fell victim to Blast, so he is well aware of his strength.
The second hero of note is the S-Class hero ranked second, "Trembling Cyclone." If Blast is a mysterious hero who appears and disappears like a divine dragon, then Trembling Cyclone is the S-Class hero with the highest attendance rate.
Her high attendance doesn't diminish her strength; for most monsters, Trembling Cyclone is a nightmare.
Other S-Class heroes, when facing Dragon-Class monsters, may win, but it's often a close call.
However, Trembling Cyclone, in most cases, can simply reach out and twist the monsters into a pretzel with a squeeze of her fist!
Ghost-Class monsters and slightly weaker Dragon-Class monsters are no different in her eyes, and she effortlessly dominates them. Currently, she is the only legal loli capable of suppressing and overwhelming Dragon-Class monsters.
The third noteworthy hero is the sixth-ranked S-Class hero, "Metal Knight." Like Blast, Metal Knight's true identity is a mystery, but the advanced equipment he manufactures and develops possesses immense destructive power.
The fourth hero is King, the Strongest Man on Earth. Rumor has it that any monster who has faced him has met their end, but his true strength remains unknown!
The final S-Class hero that deserves attention is a recent addition to Dajingyan's list.
This hero is the rapidly rising tenth-ranked S-Class hero, bearing the hero title "White Reaper."
Compared to other S-Class heroes, White Reaper doesn't have an extensive record of monster kills. However, almost every event he has participated in has been earth-shattering.
Let's not even mention his brutal slaughter of the Ghost-Class Peak monster, Sea King. After all, at Sea King's level, they wouldn't even qualify for a leadership position in the Monster Association.
But it's his feats of cleaving a falling meteor and engaging in a fierce battle with the cosmic monster Boros that have caught Dajingyan's utmost attention.
As the Monster Association's strategist, Dajingyan is well-informed about the Hero Association's intelligence.
According to her knowledge, the leader of the Dark Matter Pirate Fleet, Boros, possessed strength comparable to their Monster King·Serpent, the head of the Monster Association.
Regardless of whether Boros was ultimately defeated by White Reaper, the fact that he could match Boros in strength is already proof that White Reaper is no ordinary S-Class hero.
Before taking action, Dajingyan had instructed the Centipede Elder that these four S-Class heroes were among those capable of matching his strength in battle.
If they were to encounter them, they should prioritize ensuring their own survival, and if they failed to complete the mission this time, there would still be plenty of opportunities in the future.
After all, the Hero Association only had a handful of powerful individuals, and it was impossible for them to protect these people around the clock.
Looking at the Night City, marked as "Elite Strength" by Dajingyan, the Centipede Elder showed no signs of retreat.
Joking, the Centipede Elder had endured for so many years for revenge, and now that he had finally returned to the world, how could he be scared away by a mere human hero!
He couldn't defeat the first-ranked S-Class hero, "Blast," but if he were to flee from the tenth-ranked S-Class hero, he would become a laughingstock of the entire Monster Association! With a shell as hard as steel and a survival ability to regenerate even when damaged from within, the Centipede Elder feared no enemy.
Even when he saw the Night City marked as "Elite Strength" by Dajingyan, the Centipede Elder quickly wriggled his body and charged at him with astonishing speed.
Seeing the other party's massive body moving at such a remarkable speed, Night City's face revealed a trace of excitement.
The forced interruption of the game, and the loss of a million-yen prize, left him in a foul mood. The giant centipede before him was the perfect target to vent his frustration! Although size didn't directly equate to strength, a massive body usually indicated considerable power.
After all, with the Centipede Elder's body length spanning several streets, the sheer impact and destructive force generated by its weight alone were astonishing.
Night City, standing before the Centipede Elder, showed no signs of dodging or avoiding the attack. Instead, he revealed a determined battle intent and made a fist, causing the Centipede Elder to curse him for his stupidity.
The last S-Class hero who had tried to block the Centipede Elder's charge was now lying far away, leaking oil. And yet, this human with a mere flesh and blood body dared to confront him head-on. Wasn't this asking for death?
Not to mention the sheer force of the Centipede Elder's massive body, but also his shell, which even the Devil Cyborg's Hyper Spiral Flame Cannon couldn't damage, was about to be met with a fist. This was like using an egg to strike a rock!
"Plain Strike - Bone Break!"
Night City stared at the Centipede Elder's approaching ugly face and the two mandibles, each capable of cutting through gold and jade. He stood his ground and threw a straightforward punch.
He didn't use the more powerful "Instant Strike" because he was worried that he might accidentally kill the Centipede Elder.
With the million-yen prize gone and his anger still simmering, he needed the Centipede Elder to last long enough for him to vent his frustration.
"Boom——————!"
As Night City threw his punch, the air in front of him instantly exploded, emitting a clear sonic boom.
The air directly in front of him, under the impact of the punch, turned into a vacuum environment, and the powerful airflow effortlessly shattered the surrounding ground, causing stones to float in the air.
When the Centipede Elder's sharpest and most robust mandibles collided with Night City's fist, he immediately sensed something amiss.
An unimaginable, terrifying power coursed through his mandibles, and his entire body. He couldn't believe his eyes; how could this human possess such incredible strength?
