Garou's offensive grew increasingly fierce, and Royal Ripper and Bug God began to gradually fall into a disadvantage.
"I can already see through your movements. From now on, you won't be able to hit me."
Garou felt the blood in his entire body boiling. At this moment, he was fully confident he could escape unscathed.
"Un... Uncle..."
Tareo had been seized by a monster that looked like sludge.
Garou immediately panicked. "What?! You bastard, I have nothing to do with that bra..."
Pfft!
A cold gleam flashed across Garou's back, and blood sprayed out.
Bang!
Bug God seized the opportunity to slam a blow into Garou's chest, and the latter immediately vomited blood and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
"Die!"
Swish... Swish...
Royal Ripper frantically swung his dual blades, and blood began to spread along the ground.
"That's enough. Gyoro Gyoro gave specific instructions to spare his life."
Bug God hurriedly stepped in to stop him, but unfortunately, Garou on the ground no longer had any signs of life.
"Even if you say that to me, it's too late now, Bug God."
The blood-covered Royal Ripper stopped his attack, and the sludge-like creature on the side also came over to take a look.
"Garou rebelled and was killed. Just report it to Gyoro Gyoro like that when you go back. Dead men have no value to us." Royal Ripper said with a look of indifference.
The sludge-like creature didn't say much either, and taking Tareo with it, headed toward the Monster Association.
"What a waste of time. I don't understand why Gyoro Gyoro insisted on recruiting someone like that." Royal Ripper complained while admiring the blood on his blades.
"It's no wonder. The Association has lost too many monsters recently. Just a while ago, we finally managed to recruit a Dragon-level executive, only for Orochi to kill them."
"Fragile humans. I really want to enter the city and listen to the beautiful wails of humanity."
Rumble!
Just as Bug God and Royal Ripper were chatting, the sky suddenly darkened.
Looking up, a building was falling straight down towards them.
"Damn it! What is this?"
Swish!
The sharp blades instantly sliced the building in front of them apart, and Bug God also shattered the rocks in front of him with a punch.
"Is it a hero?"
"Psychokinesis! Could it be that person?!"
A bad premonition welled up in Royal Ripper's heart. After all, there were very few people in the Hero Association capable of using Psychokinesis.
Swish... Swish...
Countless stones kept flying in from afar, and Bug God kept dodging them.
"If it really is Tatsumaki, we absolutely cannot deal with her! Split up and run!"
The two monsters made a prompt decision. After all, this was a human city, and Gyoro Gyoro had repeatedly instructed them not to attract the attention of heroes.
"Did they split up?"
King, who was hiding in the shadows, saw that his goal had been achieved and immediately chased in the direction Royal Ripper had left.
"Damn it! I didn't expect to run into an S-Class Hero as soon as I came out. Forget it, I'll leave it to the Dragon-level executives to handle. When the final battle comes, the mere Hero Association..."
Royal Ripper's voice came to an abrupt halt. He realized with horror that he couldn't move.
"As expected, dealing with one monster is already nearing my limit."
Watching his body constantly break down and rapidly repair itself, King couldn't help but feel relieved that he hadn't acted rashly.
Psychic Crush!
Crack!
Royal Ripper's body began to twist, blood sprayed out, and a look of terror appeared in his eyes.
"No! This is impossible!"
Royal Ripper struggled with all his might. He never expected that he would die here without even seeing Tatsumaki's face.
Psychokinetic Impact!
Countless rays of blue light shot out, instantly piercing through Royal Ripper's body.
Boom!
Royal Ripper lost all power to resist, and with a look of unwillingness, he was forcibly compressed into a lump of flesh.

A warm current flowed from his heart, and King felt his entire body filled with strength.
"The effect is not bad, I've recovered quite a bit." King smiled slightly, clearly feeling his body recovering rapidly.
"You're next."
At this moment, in another direction, Bug God was fleeing rapidly without looking back. He was well aware of the strength of S-Class Heroes.
"It seems they aren't chasing me. It's fortunate that Sludge Jellyfish already took the hostage and went back. I wonder how Royal Ripper is doing?"
"Do you still have the mind to worry about others?" A voice rang out.
Bug God's pupils constricted slightly. However, seeing that the person who had arrived was not Tatsumaki, but a masked man, he immediately relaxed.
"Who are you? A hero?" Bug God calmed down and sized up King.
"You don't recognize me so soon? How is Orochi?" King asked.
"It's you! You... you're actually not dead?!"
Bug God was shocked beyond measure. Wasn't this the human who had newly joined the Monster Association back then?
"Tatsumaki from the Hero Association is nearby. We'd better hurry back to the Monster Association." Bug God suggested, having witnessed the battle between Dark Mask and Orochi with his own eyes back then.
Although he wasn't sure what the other party's goal was, there was no doubt that Dark Mask was a monster, and their enemies were the same.
"Tatsumaki? Is this what you're talking about?"
Psychic Throw!
Swish... Swish...
Countless stones flew toward Bug God, but they were all smashed to pieces.
"You bastard, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Bug God finally understood at this moment that the attack just now must have been Dark Mask's doing, he didn't understand his intention for a moment.
"I'm borrowing your head!"
"Run!"
Bug God knew he was definitely no match for Dark Mask. He caught him off guard by throwing two boulders, and immediately fled in the opposite direction.
"Want to leave?"
Hum!
A fluctuation spread out, instantly pinning Bug God's body in place.
"Damn psychokinesis! Transform!"
Bug God's body twisted, and he actually molted right on the spot. After molting, he grew a total of six new arms, wings sprouted from his back, and numerous sharp spikes appeared on his carapace, turning his whole body into a lethal weapon.
"Even if I die, I'm taking you with me!"
A look of madness appeared in Bug God's eyes. He knew that Dark Mask would definitely not let him go today.
"Childish."
Pfft!
A white bone tail pierced through Bug God's body. In his look of disbelief, King opened his mouth wide.
Devour!
"Insects are rich in protein." King smacked his lips.
He rarely used Pig God's Devour skill, mainly because sometimes he couldn't get past it mentally, he found it too disgusting.

Another warm current surged out, and King excitedly stretched his body.
"Finally fully recovered. Next is the Monster Association."
