Chapter 4 - Dark Mask

'Damn, only five points? How stingy.'

King frowned.

The higher the level of the monster killed, the more Talent Points he could obtain. The maximum Talent Points for killing a Wolf-level monster was one hundred, five hundred for Tiger-level, and Demon-level depended on the situation, while Dragon-level and God-level were even higher.

However, it also depended on the specific strength of the monster. For example, this Subterranean monster in front of him was clearly the lowest tier, even a C-Class hero could handle it easily.

"Ahhhh! Help!"

Just then, cries for help came from a street in the distancg. King quickly rushed over.

Upon arriving, he found over a dozen people surrounded by a group of Subterraneans, so without a word, he charged straight into the monsters.

"Die!"

Boom!

Due to the accumulation of his Fighting Spirit, this punch from King blew a Subterranean to pieces instantly. Green blood splattered everywhere, and both the monsters and humans present were stunned.

"Great, we're saved, it's a hero!"

"Strange, why have I never seen this hero before?"

"With such strong power, who else could it be but a hero!"

"That's true, go hero!"

Seeing hope for survival, the crowd instantly erupted.

At this moment, the monsters also realized King's strength and swarmed toward him.

"Bring it on!"

King's fighting spirit was boiling, and a bloodthirsty look appeared in his eyes.

Boom... Boom...

As the battle continued, King's strength grew. He could faintly feel the accumulation of his Fighting Spirit, which made him increasingly excited.

"Hurry up! Kill this human!"

More and more Subterraneans sensed the battle here and rushed over.

King, however, felt no exhaustion at all, and he didn't need to worry about injuries. After all, no matter how severe the wound, it would heal rapidly.

Savage Tornado!

King's body began to spin rapidly. He didn't have Metal Bat's weapon, so he simply swung his fists frantically.

Boom... Boom...

Countless punches were swung out frantically, forming a tornado that swept past at high speed. Any Subterranean that came into contact with it was blasted to pieces by the terrifying wind of his punches.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Wolf-level low-tier monster. Obtained 5 Talent Points.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Low Wolf-level monster. Obtained 10 Talent Points.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Low Wolf-level monster. Obtained 10 Talent Points.]

Notification sounds rang out one after another.

King's Fighting Spirit was continuously stacking. He even felt that he could now deal with Demon-level monsters.

"So... so strong!"

"Who exactly is Dark Mask? Why have I never seen him before?"

"He might be a newly recruited hero from the Hero Association. He's really reliable."

Exclamations of admiration kept coming from the crowd.

By now, almost all the monsters had been killed by King, and the remaining ones were terrified, fleeing back underground through the cracks in the ground.

"Dark Mask..."

King was speechless listening to the people's discussion, but thinking about Saitama's nickname, Caped Baldy, he felt relieved.

"Um... Dark Mask-san..."

A man stood out cautiously.

King looked at him with some confusion.

"There are monsters appearing on the street over there, too. My friend is still there. Can you save him?" The man's eyes were full of expectation.

A strange feeling instantly welled up in King's heart as he said, "Rest assured, leave it to me. Hurry to a nearby shelter."

After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight. At this moment, his Fighting Spirit had accumulated to a terrifying level.

"This new hero is so reassuring."

"Dark Mask, thank you."

"It's right up ahead!"

King heard the cries for help and the fluctuations of battle coming from the street ahead, many people were fleeing in panic.

"Run! The heroes have been defeated!"

"Someone save us!"

Hearing the voices in the crowd, King was a bit surprised. Logically, this group of Wolf-level monsters should be solvable even by a C-Class hero, unless... that guy had appeared.

Thinking of this, King quickened his pace, passed through the crowd, and arrived at the street. Sure enough, several C-Class heroes were lying on the ground.

"Another hero? Take him out!"

A Subterranean nearly two meters tall came rushing toward King with a whistle.

Boom!

The monster was knocked flying by King, but it wasn't seriously hurt and quickly stood back up.

'These guys are stronger than the previous monsters.'

There was not a hint of fear in King's eyes. On the contrary, he was extremely excited. Although these monsters in front of him were slightly stronger than the previous ones, they still hadn't exceeded the scope of Wolf-level.

"Die!"

Boom... Boom...

King did not fear pain and swung his fists frantically. His upper body was bleeding profusely, and his clothes were shredded, revealing his muscular physique.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Wolf-level mid-tier monster. Obtained 50 Talent Points.]

Sure enough, the Talent Points rewarded by the system this time were several times higher than before.

King charged into the group of monsters, his Fighting Spirit radiating outward, each strike capable of creating a terrifying gust of wind.

After killing dozens of monsters in succession, the remaining Subterraneans began to flee in all directions. However, King did not pursue them. Instead, he checked on the heroes' injuries.

"Thank goodness, they're all still breathing."

Seeing that the heroes were not in serious danger, King breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a C-Class hero woke up. "Watch out... their leader..."

After saying this, the hero passed out, leaving King confused.

"Whatever, let's find some clothes to wear first."

King was speechless looking at his bare upper body. Although his body could recover, his clothes could not. In the future, he should try his best to avoid damage during battles, otherwise he would inevitably end up naked.

Ring...

The phone rang.

King, having just put on clothes, took out the phone specially issued to him by the Hero Association from his pocket.

"Hello?"

"King-san, monsters have been discovered in M City. We have already sent people to resolve it, but it seems the heroes have all been defeated. It is suspected that a monster above Demon-level has appeared. Could we ask you to intervene?"

"Tell me the location."

Thump! Thump! Thump...

King's heart began to beat. No wonder so many heroes had been defeated. It seemed the Demon-level monster, Subterranean King, had appeared.

"Okay. I will send the location to your phone now."

Maria hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief. At this moment, Supervisor Jess from the Hero Association walked up behind her.

"What did King say?"

"He just told me to give him the location, followed by the deafening King Engine."
