Chapter 391

"Not bad, Luo En, you're pretty strong too."

"Lend me this game later."

"No problem."

…………

After leaving King, Luo En walked down the street.

Beep beep beep.

It was a call from Fubuki.

Luo En picked up, held the phone to his ear and said, "Little Fubuki, what is it?"

"How many times have I told you, don't call me that!"

Fubuki's amplified voice came through the phone; it wasn't hard to imagine her blushing and annoyed look on the other end.

"Got it, Little Fubuki, I won't call you that anymore, Little Fubuki."

"You…!!"

"Enough teasing, so what exactly do you need me for? Surely you didn't miss me?"

Hearing those words, Fubuki on the other end went silent for a few seconds.

"I've actually run into some trouble on my end. If you're free, could you come over?"

"Sure."

"The location is—"

"No need, I already know where you are. I'll be right there."

Fubuki was stunned. "…Huh?"

As Luo En spoke, he stomped his foot.

The ground exploded.

Under the stunned gazes of the people around the street,

he leapt straight from the ground to a hundred meters in the air, then shot off at top speed in one direction.

……

At this moment, City C.

At a bay where shipping containers were scattered.

A terrifying humanoid beast, its entire body emerald green and covered in slime, walked along the coast toward the containers.

Wherever it passed, the slime completely corroded the ground.

"You guys are the Fubuki Group, right? Too bad, you were just a little short of killing me before I matured."

"Now, my evolution into a mature form is complete. No one can stop me anymore."

The humanoid beast, radiating an ominous and terrifying aura, let out a shrill voice, issuing an arrogant death declaration toward the Fubuki Group members hiding in the shadows.

"After I kill all of you, next comes the slaughter of all humanity, and the final evolution will be complete!"

B-Class heroes Eyelashes, Mountain Ape, and Lily gripped their weapons from the shadows, staring at the approaching beast, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

It was already this terrifying without being mature—how strong will it get now that it has matured…

"Found you!"

The emerald-green humanoid beast let out a shrill cry.

Then it stomped heavily and shot toward the nearest Fubuki Group member as a streak of green light.

Before that member could react at all, the beast suddenly appeared and drove a hand straight through his chest, killing him on the spot.

"Shuibo!"

Eyelashes' face went pale with shock.

Mountain Ape was both shocked and furious, and immediately launched an attack at it.

The moment the two moved, the other hidden Fubuki Group members also all launched their attacks.

Over a dozen people swarmed the beast.

"W-wait!"

Fubuki was greatly alarmed.

Hum!

The humanoid beast vanished on the spot in an instant.

The next second it appeared behind Mountain Ape, its sharp claws swiping toward the back of his head.

"First one…"

Just as Mountain Ape was about to die at its hands,

"Get lost!"

Fubuki roared.

Her esper power erupted.

The humanoid beast's movement stalled for a second.

Immediately after, a gale rose around it, fierce wind blades slashing toward it with deadly precision.

Mountain Ape seized the chance to escape.

"While my lord Fubuki has it under control, attack now!"

Lily shouted to the others over there.

Over a dozen Fubuki Group members in black suits came to their senses and immediately raised their pistols to fire at it.

Whoosh!

A sharp claw tore through the gale.

The bullet fired at it split in two midair.

That humanoid aberrant beast opened its eyes.

"Slow, far too slow!"

It looked toward Fubuki in the distance: "Not a bad ability, but a pity it's not strong enough." "You look like the leader of this group of humans, so I'll start by killing you…"

Having said that.

Two pairs of green insect wings sprouted from its back; with a light flap, a ring of dust swirled up from the ground.

And it vanished in an instant.

Fubuki instantly felt a chill of foreboding.

That humanoid aberrant beast—or rather, aberrant insect—appeared behind her, opening a terrifying maw lined with savage fangs, silently lunging from behind Fubuki toward her head.

"Time to dig in…"

Lily and the rest of the Blizzard Group paled in horror.

"Lady Fubuki!"

Just at that moment.

The aberrant insect's movement suddenly stopped.

On its almost-human face, an expression of indescribable terror and shock.

"Wh-when…"

Lily and the others stared in stunned disbelief.

Behind the aberrant insect.

At some unknown moment, a silver-haired youth wearing sunglasses had appeared.

His right hand was held in a five-claw downward posture, pressing down on the aberrant insect's head.

Smack!

went the sound.

The aberrant insect's head was crushed outright.

The green blood had no time to splatter before being frozen by a wave of cold air, and as its body shattered it fell to the ground together, turning into a small pile of green ice shards.

"Yo, I made it just in time, didn't I."

Luo En smiled at Fubuki.

Fubuki stared at him blankly, a strange emotion stirring within her heart.
