Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening roars exploded like thunder.
Several S-Class Heroes were attacking Garou.
The air in all directions was visibly trembling.
"Hahaha, S-Class Heroes are nothing special."
Garou laughed wildly. The monster cells all over his body wriggled, and two horns extended from the top of his head.
Boom!
An invisible aura erupted, and Garou's power instantly surged.
His fist techniques changed.
Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist crushed everything in all directions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several S-Class Heroes, including Bang, all had their expressions change.
In an instant.
Their figures all flew backwards, crashing through surrounding walls and buildings.
Although no one died.
"No good. We're completely outmatched."
Child Emperor crushed his lollipop, looking disheveled. "He's completely a monster now."
"I'm afraid what's called Dragon-level can no longer describe his power."
Atomic Samurai spat out a mouthful of blood. "Why aren't the other S-Class Heroes here yet? If we can't take him down, he'll become an even bigger threat than the Monster Association."
Bang coughed. "They're probably being held up by the other monsters."
Metal Bat, his face covered in blood, said, "Stop talking nonsense. We need to figure out how to deal with him."
Watching the fear in Child Emperor and the others' eyes, Garou shook his head. "Boring."
For some reason.
Having reached a new level...
He felt somewhat bored.
The S-Class Heroes he had once seen as great enemies...
Now seemed... too weak.
"Hmm?"
Thinking this, Garou's expression shifted, and he looked into the distant sky.
What is it?
Bang and the others also tensed, instinctively following Garou's gaze.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The next moment, they only saw a blur before their eyes.
By the time they recovered.
Two figures had appeared on the ground.
The visitors were none other than Ayato and Psykos.
"Ayato-sama."
Seeing that familiar figure, Bang and the others all showed expressions of joy.
After the Boros battle.
Although Ayato wasn't a Hero.
In everyone's hearts.
Ayato had surpassed Blast and leaped to become the strongest.
"I'll take it from here."
Ayato responded, then said, "Psykos, step back."
"Mm."
Psykos nodded and obediently floated backward.
"So you're that Mori Ayato?"
Garou grinned, looking Ayato up and down, and said with a grin, "You don't look particularly special."
Ayato didn't respond, just looked at Garou with a deep gaze.
Instantly!
Everyone could feel a visible change in Ayato's aura.
The air seemed to solidify, becoming extremely heavy.
As if even breathing was a luxury.
"So this is his aura... I see."
Feeling the invisible pressure emanating from Ayato, Garou laughed excitedly.
"Hahaha, as expected of the one who defeated a God-level disaster."
"It seems my judgment earlier was indeed flawed."
His tone was fanatical, his battle intent as tangible as reality.
Such an aura...
"Your nonsense... is far too much."
Ayato said indifferently, "Attack."
"Haha, you're right."
"Then let's have an exhilarating fight."
The moment his voice fell, Garou's figure vanished instantly.
"So fast!"
Seeing this, Bang and the others' expressions changed.
Garou's speed!
Was even faster than before.
Either he had been hiding his strength.
Or Garou had evolved again.
If it was the latter, that was simply too terrifying.
Boom!
And at that moment, a figure flew backwards like a cannonball, crashing through multiple walls.
Instantly!
The surroundings fell silent.
Atomic Samurai and the others looked dumbfounded, looking at Ayato, still standing in place, and then at Garou in the distant rubble.
Each of them looked like their eyes were about to pop out.
"With this little skill, you're not qualified for an exhilarating fight."
Ayato withdrew his fist and said, "If you want a real fight, you need to become stronger first."
With this punch!
He had tried very hard to control his strength.
Otherwise!
He was afraid he might accidentally kill him.
Boom!
Rubble flew as Garou leaped up and landed back before Ayato.
"Cough, cough..."
He coughed violently, large amounts of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"That was... a really heavy punch."
Garou spoke in a low voice, gently wiping the blood.
That punch just now.
He almost thought he would be killed.
"Indeed, you are my true opponent."
Garou's voice was low, filled with a hysterical madness.
"But I won't lose. I absolutely cannot lose."
