Chapter 6 : Green Fish.

Chapter 6 : Green Fish.

[City : J]

People could be seen roaming care free, carrying groceries or taking their pet on a walk.

Suddenly, a large humanoid creature that possessed various aquatic animal traits such as gills, tentacles, and fins. Came out from the sea.

"Humans! Surrender the surface to us, the seafolk! We are the ones who are worthy of ruling it! Not you inferior beings!". It declared in a loud voice. People began panicking.

*Splatter*

But, a person had already taken care of the strange monster, he headed back to his apartment with some groceries.

.

.

.

.

.

There was a lot of chatter about the monster who now laid on the ground, lifelessly. Finally, an A Class hero came upon the field.

A tall, lean-built young man with spiky black hair. He wears a tight black suit, which appears to be made of bandages. He carries a large spear with him that has a brown handle and a large spearhead at the end.

More monsters from the sea emerged as well, one looked like an octopus the other like a frog, but, without a doubt they all were carrying the traits of an aquatic animal except the fact that, they were very large to the things they had features of.

"Cmon Stinger! You can do it! ", cheering by the others resounded in the A Class hero's ears, with a smile showing his white and shiny teeth, he held up his trustable weapon, the 'Bamboo Shoot', as he calls it.

[Insert image of A Class hero, Stinger here. ]

A large spear with a brown handle and a bamboo shoot spearhead. He spinned it in the air, and drilled a hole in one of them, rendering it immobile and dead.

'I just defeated a demon level threat! '

"How dare you kill our comrade!? You shall pay with your life! ", saying this, a battle began.

.

.

.

.

.

Currently, I am trying to shape an energy similar to {Death Aura}, but nerfed. It's what you can call, a local {Death Aura }.

Yeah, I am getting worse at naming...

Anyways, this energy is found nearby dead things, for example a dead tree, a dead bird, a dead plant, a cemetery etc. It flows naturally around these things. And I am trying to use it for myself.

It has interesting consequences after all, if an average living thing gets near it's high concentration, their skin will start rotting on the spot, and will slowly crumble their body from inside and out.

It can be a very powerful Aoe attack if I manage to master it. Which, is considerable hard... After all, it escapes right through my palms when I try to join it together...

*Sigh*

Sighing to myself, I stopped using {Ruler's Authority }, the dark black smoky substance in the air dissapeared as I did so.

!

Hmm? The A Class hero Stinger? He's nearly at the death's door. Yet, he's stubbornly fighting... Humans can be so stupid sometimes, if you can't win, then escape, giving away your life for such thing, is pure foolishness.

Oh well, I have decided to not interact until it reaches the Genos fighting part. Let's just, save that Stinger guy with my Shadow, though I doubt my Shadow can escape at a faster speed than the sea king, it atleast won't get erased.

{Mana : 31745/42750}

"Oh cmon. " Sighing inside I got up from my comfy sofa, and headed to the balcony. Taking out the bow I bought from the store of the system, I closed my eyes while holding it up, then immediately loading an arrow, I shot towards the direction of City J.

.

.

.

.

.

"Monkey, you killed my followers, what do you think you will get in return? ", the green thing holding me by my neck asked me with a grin.

I mustered all my will and displayed him the finger between my ring finger and index finger, chuckling and spitting blood on his face I said - "F**k off. "

"Hahahahahahahahaha... Looks like you are getting tired off your life. "

Saying this, his grip on my body increased. Sigh, I did my job, everyone evacuated safely... I just couldn't defeat this monster...

Smiling, I accepted my fate.

*Shwoom*

Suddenly, the grip was released, I was down on the ground though, my face embedded in the floor, why did he spare me?

Asking this in my mind, I didn't know when I fell asleep.

.

.

.

"What the hell are you!?".

A scream echoed, as the Deep SeaKing lost his arm by a red shadow like creature which had enlarged sharp canines, also possessed black tattoos over his body, he had cut off the arm with his heavy sword, given by his leige itself!

He was currently feeling overjoyed about the fact that he was contributing to his leige's order and task.

The screams died down, as the Deep SeaKing had regenerated his arm. He started laughing very hardly, and in an instant dissapeared from his position, and created a hole in the orc's body, although it was healed.

"Hmm? You can heal too? Interesting. Even though you don't look like a seafolk or belong to the sea. You can still regenerate... Very interesting. I will love to check your limits! ", saying so, he barraged the orc with punches giving him no time to counter and activating his regeneration factor over and over.

After few moments, something shone very brightly in the sky, taken by surprise the Deep SeaKing closed his eyes instinctively, and got stabbed by a piercing object directly in his chest, which electrocuted him from inside.

Falling down from the heavy electrocution, he showed no chances of waking up early.

The orc finally regenerated completely, and received an order just before he was about to sneakily cut the Deep SeaKing like onions.

Nodding, he carried the hero on his shoulders, and headed towards an hospital in other city.

.

.

.

.

Welp, that solves it for now. Although the canon has changed a bit due to this... The SeaKing is going to remain unconscious for few hours thanks to this. But oh well. It was changed the moment it tried to kill Stinger.

Nodding to my own reasoning and convincing myself that it wasn't my fault, I headed back inside to have a cup of coffee.

That's the moment my phone rang, not my I guess, the hero association gave it to me. Saying this will notify us of nearby threats and stuff.

Which I liked, I always wanted to be a part of a hero organization! And my dream had come true.

By the way, my current rank is 9. Yeah, I got in top 10. It was hard, but, I reached it. Although I am planning on reaching the first rank. It's just a goal though I don't know yet whether I will become strong enough to defeat Saitama... But, trying needs to be done before coming to a result.

.

.

.

.

.

Looking at the call, I picked it up.

[Demon Cyborg, there's a Demon level threat in City J, head over there and eliminate it. ]

"City J is rather far... But, alright I will go right now. "

Hanging up, I looked at Saitama sensei, with an expression as to ask what is going on, I explained.

"So Saitama sensei, would you like to come? "

"I guess I should... "

Saying this he got up and dressed in his hero costume.

"Oh wait Genos, let's ask Ether to come along as well. "

"Ether-San isn't in my radar, he seems to have already gone there. "

"Hmm, then I barely think I or you will be needed. Let's head back inside."

'Such trust... I wonder when will I garner it?'

"But, sensei we should atleast look. "

"Hmm, alright, let's go. "

After coming to an agreement, we began running in the direction of the city.

.

.

.

.

"This is an emergency evacuation notice! The threat level of Seafolk has been raised from Tiger level to Demon! Citizens of City J please evacuate immediately to the evacuation centre! Stay away from the sea as there is where Seafolk are coming from! "

"So annoying. "

*Crush*

'Now, where are those monkeys? '

Hmm? I found you!

"Darling Sonic stay behind me. It's a very dangerous monster. But worry not, I will protect you! "

What a foolish monkey, he seems stronger than the one I crushed, but a monkey nonetheless. I also have to find the one who stabbed an arrow on my body...

"TRANSFORM! "

.

.

.

.

Hmm.. OK, it's going according to the canon. My interference didn't do much. Great!

'Kaisel land on the left side, 42nd building. '

Stepping down at the roof of the building I observed the fight from a distance. As in the canon, the g*y buff guy lost, and Sonic ran away. The lightmax hero was stuck under debris from the building he was thrown into.

And, the SeaKing has noticed me.

{Stealth is in use. }

Alright, now he doesn't see me- "Another one huh?".

*Smack*

I guess, I kind of undersitmated him. His senses are abnormal enough to detect me even with stealth on.

Throwing him back in the direction of the shelter, I jumped high enough to reach above the clouds.

'Kaisel'.

Getting on Kaisel mid-air, I maintained my distance till the canon event of SeaKing taking down the hero's hidden in the shelter.

Hmm, he's more angry than he was in canon.

.

.

.

.

"Sensei I am heading before. " Saying this I left Saitama Sensei and went towards the City at a faster pace.

Scanning for any level of energy disturbance, I detected it in the direction of the shelter.

"Damn it! "

I increased my pace of jumping from building to building.

When I arrived I saw it, the Seafolk the association told me about, it was large, green and had a humanoid body.

Quickly using incineration canon, I blasted it off.

"Are there any more around the area? " I asked the people around.

"WOAHHHHH!!!"

"S-Class are on a whole another level Huh!"

'Guess, that was the last one-'

*Smash*

*Rip*

"You are quite stronger than the other bunch. "

"But don't get cocky. "

'Crap, I let my guard down again, I never learn do I?'

"Run away! I will handle him! "

Panic came back in the shelter again, people began screaming and running, while I was fighting the Seafolk with one arm.

*Ptui*

'Crap! The kid! '

*Melting sfx*

"If you hadn't chosen to protect that little monkey, you could have lasted longer against me. Too bad you took on my acid spit head on. "

"Now, die. "

"We will see who dies first, little fish. " An voice I had known echoed in the shelter...

.

.

.

Hmm.. OK the Kung Fu guy is on the floor, the other heroes alongside with him too.

The green fish isn't to be underestimated I guess... Although, my strength should be enough to defeat it. But, it will also make a worthy opponent. And I have my trump card too either ways, I will win.

Huh? Genos has arrived as well.

As expected, nothing much has changed from canon, except the fact that Genos got his other arm ripped firstly.

Huh? Was I always this cold? I am just watching things from sidelines. Just because I wish to reap the benefits...

Guess, this is the loss, my predecessor talked about. Cold towards others, warm towards loved ones. Heh. Will I even be able to obtain the thing called 'Love'? Is it possible for a person such as me to obtain it?

The one who, tortured kids around his age till death, the one who was so set on revenge that he would sell even his own soul for it? But... After achieving it. All I felt is emptiness. I am just moving along, because my predecessor wishes to rest, and as I promised him this, and he gave me the chance to take my revenge...

When you watch anime, or read a novel, seeing the characters, you see them as entertainment, their journey , their life, their experiences of despair, sacrifice, nobility are just entertainment to us.

But, when you are the one playing the role of this character...

I just noticed, that without a goal, everything seems so lifeless. So, as the determined person I am, I last night decided on a goal to pursue.

That is... To become the strongest in the whole multiverse, and taste the fruit of 'Love'!

Anyways, I guess I should make my entrance now. Otherwise the 'Mumen Rider' will come and increase the despair in the people then Saitama's defamation will enter.

So, "We will see who dies first, little fish. "

"Who!?- *Smash*

With a fist to the right cheek, few teeth of his broke and came out on the ground with a ting sound.

Without waiting for him to heal completely, I pursued a barrage of fists, the sound of bones breaking echoed in the shelter, though nobody could see my fists hitting him as it looked blur to the bystander, undoubtedly they knew that I was winning.

"You can do it! "

"Defeat that huge frog! "

"We believe in you! "

"Oh! I know him! He's the super rookie! The Shadow Conqueror! He's in top 10 of Class S! With him here, we are safe! One of his abilities include summoning hundreds of undying Shadow like creatures from hell too! And he's winning as well! "

Who is this guy? Anyways, this SeaKing... Is weaker than I expected! He stopped healing after 10 minutes! So, he's just like a dummy right now...

*Smash*

*Splatter*

Ok, it's dead now.

"WOAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! HE MANAGED TO DEFEAT IT! "

"Shadow Conqueror!" ×14

So, the canon had to be like this huh? Even if the person who this chant of name was meant for isn't there, it can be replaced by another. Time line works in a unique way.

"C-can I get an autograph? "

Hmm? A kid? Oh the one who was around 5 years old.

"Sure. " Giving an affirmative response, I signed the notepad he gave me.

"Thank you! ", he bowed and left to reach his mother.

Everyone in their also bowed to me to show their gratitude towards me for saving them. Although that guy who spoke up in the canon version to defame Saitama didn't speak at all this time.

Looks like... Classes truly matter huh?

Anyways, reporting this to the association a Shadow holded an umbrella for me in the rain.

[I see, Shadow Conqueror, thank you for your efforts. With this, you are two ranks above in S-Class. ]

Great. Hanging up, I put Genos on my shoulders using Shadow exchange, I teleported to Kuseno's place.

That's correct, I had made relations with Kuseno after I heard Genos talk about him, I acted surprised and asked whether I could meet him.

The answer was affirmative, and I learned a lot about engineering from Kuseno, now I can create some firearms myself, although I still am not at the level of creating cyborgs yet...

Anyways, greeting Kuseno I dropped Genos there and went in an area without any sign of life, taking out the corpse of SeaKing from inventory, I said.

"Arise."

{Shadow Extraction has failed. Two attempts remaining. }

Hmm...

"You told others as to how you are the peak of others, and the strongest as well the only one worthy to rule on others."

"But here you are, dead, by the very someone you thought of as a monkey. So, now, would you like to follow the monkey who destroyed you in the battle? Or would you prefer to stay weak? That's correct, following this monkey- me, you can get a lot stronger in the future, nobody would be able to defeat you. So, I will say it again. "

"Join me. Swear your loyalty to me, and I will make you reach the peak of strength. "

"Arise."

{Shadow Extraction was successful. }

Damn. I was joking around, it actually worked?

"Please, grant me a name, my leige. "

The SeaKing said, kneeling down on one knee. Hmm, a name huh?

"You shall be called, Geryon."

He is like a mermaid anyway.

"Join the others."

Alright, the next arc should be about Boros. That guy was a menace, although will I be able to match it in power? Will that be possible? How do I get stronger faster...?

{The System has heard the Monarch's desire. You have obtained the key to the Tower Of Demon King. }

Tower? Demon King? Is it that tower which my predecessor fought his way up to the Monarch of Demons Castle, and defeated him?

What was his name...? I can't remember... Neither am I able to find the fight... Is this because I am about to enter it? That's why the memories were erased?

Oh well, if it's something that can make me more stronger, then I am in. And it seems to be a SSS+ Class item. So, it definitely will make me stronger. Well, I will go in it now.

.

What the hell... Everything is burning down... And a huge bull dog with three heads is guarding the door. This is some messed up hell type shimata.
