One Punch Man King Engine - Chapter 84
“Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining a two-star Monster – Slugerous.”
King calmly took the Monster Card. Two-star Monsters were already crowding his Card deck. One more or one less wouldn’t make much of a difference. Slugerous himself did not display any special abilities. Although the snail shell was hard, it was not very useful. On the other hand, Chameleon Man’s invisibility was a little interesting.
He opened Chameleon Man’s Card detail from his deck.
Chameleon Man:
Background: A mutated human evolved from the combination of the chameleon and human genes.
Skills: Stealth (Passive Skill): The color of the body changes with the color of the environment. It always maintains the same color as the environment.
King’s eyes lit up. A wretched idea immediately rose in his mind: ambushing Monsters (Forever Alone?).
It can be said that invisibility was one of the superpowers that humans longed for the most. With invisibility, one could do many things that they normally did not dare to do, such as peeping.
While King was excited, Accel was in deep thought. He stared at the dead Slugerous and Chameleon Man with a grave expression. It was a very abnormal situation. King killed monsters not with a single punch but with unexpectedly mundane tactics. This way of killing monsters was definitely not King’s style.
Abnormal, too abnormal. King must have a deeper meaning in doing this. What was it?
Accel pondered deeply. When Monsters attacked, King first used a glue superpower to stop Slugerous, then he used the glue again to forcibly reveal and restrain Chameleon Man. He forced the enemy to the edge of death step by step. This kind of tactic greatly contrasted with King’s domineering image. They would fit better for a weaker Hero. Oh, wait, weak? Tactics?
His pupils widened. Tactics. That’s right, it was tactics. Slugerous and Chameleon Man were like ants to King, but King was very patient in dealing with the two Monsters. Why?
At first, he didn’t understand, but now he realized. King didn’t consider Slugerous and Chameleon Man as threats from the beginning. The reason why he dealt with them the way he did was actually to explain to Accel that as long as the method was right, any Monster could be brought down to their knees!
That’s right, as long as they worked hard to use proper tactics, even if the Self-Defense Forces were weak, killing Demon-level or even Dragon-level Monster was not a dream.
“Hey, wake up.” King shook Accel, who was deep in thought, and ordered him to leave. “As you can see, I have a lot of things to deal with in this situation. I don’t have time to entertain you. You can go back.”
He couldn’t play games anymore. His wall had two big holes, and his home was a mess. In this situation, how could he play games?
He looked at the ruined home and wondered if he should move. The second floor was broken, but that was not a problem. He just has to not go up to the second floor. But now, the wall that protected him from the wind and rain had two big holes. He could not live in this house anymore.
Move…move to City Z and be Saitama’s neighbor?
“Is he kicking me out?” Accel frowned. He had come to ask for a way to become stronger. King did not give any practical guidance on the surface, but he knew that King had just taught him a lot. How much he could understand depended on his own comprehension.
“Thank you for your teachings, Mr. King.”
Although King had never admitted that he was teaching him from the beginning to the end, Accel remembered this kindness in his heart. Therefore, he bowed deeply to King.
“Huh?” King looked at Accel, who was bowing so respectfully. His face was stunned.
I just taught you to play a game, right? It wasn’t some amazing technique, so why are you so serious? It looked like he wanted to respect me as a master!
He coughed lightly and said, “Ahem, it’s a small matter. Don’t take it to heart.”
It seems that teaching him basic game operations that almost everyone knows was enough to make him treat me as a teacher. Alas, this child is too honest. I want to bully him…
“This may be a small matter for Mr. King, but it is very important for me. The Hunter Self-Defense Forces will never forget Mr. King’s kindness. Perhaps it will be difficult to repay Mr. King’s kindness in this life, but Hunter Self-Defense Forces, are willing to work for Mr. King even in the next life.” Accel proclaimed with a serious face
“Uh…” King curled his lips and glanced at the solemn Accel.
Big brother, are you serious? Oh my god, I just taught you to play a game, and you act as if I gave you the sky! And repay what kindness in your next life?
He really wanted to reach out and touch Accel’s forehead to see if he had a fever. To say such inexplicable words, he probably burned his brain.
Well, taking advantage of this fool’s kindness would just make me feel guilty.
King thought silently and sent Accel away. “I didn’t do any kindness to you, and I don’t need you to repay me. Go back quickly. Don’t get in my way again.”
Suddenly, the Monster alarm in the center of the city interrupted them.
“Emergency notice, emergency notice. Unknown strange birds are detected in the sky above M City. The disaster level is Demon; please stay inside and hide in the buildings…”
“We repeat. Emergency notice, emergency notice. Unknown strange birds are detected in the sky above M City. The disaster level is Demon. Citizens of M City, please stay inside and hide in the buildings…”
“Oh? A Monster appeared again? And it’s a Demon-level?”
King was stunned. Monsters had appeared quite frequently in M City. More and more disasters in the Demon-level and above category had appeared, causing the people in M City to constantly panic.
“Demon-level Monster?” Accel was also stunned. He turned to look at the indifferent King and frowned, “Mr. King, aren’t you going to take a look? Maybe you can get the credit for killing another Demon-level Monster!”
“There’s nothing to see.” King didn’t disagree with Accel’s words. “If you just want to get the credit for killing Monster, you don’t have to go to personally execute justice!” This kind of contribution had always been given to him by the sky, so he didn’t have to work so hard to beat Monster.
“Chirp —”
Right after King finished his sentence. A sharp bird cry suddenly echoed from the sky, and then a huge figure slammed straight into King’s home.
Boom!
The strange bird swept past, and King’s home instantly became a pile of ruins.
King just had a decision made for him. As expected, he needed to move!
“King, you killed many of my brothers and sisters. This Quetzalcoatlus will never forgive you. Destroying your family is but a small warning. I will take your life sooner or later.”
It turned out that the strange bird was none other than the missing Quetzalcoatlus.
The Quetzalcoatlus was fierce, but after launching a surprise attack to destroy King’s family, it did not stop. It kept flapping its wings and quickly disappeared into the horizon like a defeated soldier fleeing.
This kid… was also afraid that King would slaughter it to cook chicken soup!
