"Actually, City A is usually pretty safe."
The next morning, the convenience store owner who took Louis to pick up the goods felt that for the sake of his reputation in the world, he might as well defend his city.
But looking at the lobster brother blocking the road ahead, Louis could only have reservations.
"By the way, can this thing be eaten?"
"Well, if what you said in the group before about the strongest hero often taking the by-products of weirdos home and cooking them is true, then it should, probably, maybe be edible, right?"
The convenience store owner with a witchcraft prop hanging around his neck was speaking more forcefully than yesterday, even though the lobster in front of him was so angry that it looked as if it was cooked because of the way the two looked at the ingredients. The two of them looked human-like. The guy still doesn't take this big lobster weirdo seriously.
Well, Louis admits that weirdos are something that is really easy to talk about. Yesterday, Louis in City A just considered the possibility of directly confronting weirdos on the streets in the future. The next day, he actually encountered one as soon as he went out -
Because he loves lobster so much, he eats lobster three times a day. After eating it, he mutated into a wolf-level monster called Lobster Monster.
Damn it, could the reason why humans become monsters in the world of One Punch Man be any more trivial?
Oh, it can also be more playful, such as mutating into a goldfish monster due to loan sharking.
Suppressing the urge to face helplessly, Louis handed the sundries on his body to the brother next to him, casually pulled out a knight's two-handed sword, took two steps forward, and took a stance.
"Speaking of which, this thing is stronger than me, so it can be considered an evenly matched opponent, right?"
"Um, what do you want to say?"
"I mean, it doesn't matter if I knock it out here, right?!"
The convenience store owner, who had never seen old Fate works and had no idea what Louis was saying, made a please gesture.
"It would also be great if you could defeat it. Not only would you get a bonus, but you would also be able to gain good luck with the Heroes Association. By the way, some companies and research institutions even purchase the corpses of weirdos."
The convenience store owner, who already knew Louis' specific strength, was not worried about the danger of this battle.
Come on, although Louis is traveling lightly now, he still has close-fitting armor and a two-handed sword. The lobster opposite has no other weapons except two large pincers that are extremely unreasonable to put on land. .
By the way, do lobsters have pincers?
The convenience store owner seemed to have discovered Hua Dian.
After thinking this over and over, the convenience store owner easily ducked aside and started a group live broadcast in the group, preparing to earn some group points that were of no use so far.
There are only a few people watching in the group. It seems that the time is wrong and most of the other group members are not online.
"Damn it, you humans dare to look down on lobsters?!"
The lobster weirdo was very considerate, and only started to say harsh words after Louis took a good posture.
"No, that, we just like to eat lobster, and we have never underestimated-"
"Asshole, I became a lobster weirdo because I love (eating) lobsters too much. I want to protect lobsters and destroy you humans who look down on lobsters!"
"...There are too many flaws in your words, where should I start?"
Louis casually turned sideways and dodged the large claws charged by the lobster monster that dropped from the sky. He jumped up slightly to avoid the other large claws that came towards him.
Although the opponent's strength was very great, even reaching the official knight level, his speed was really unsightly. In Louis' eyes, it was like moving in slow motion.
He jumped on the large pliers that had made a hole in the concrete floor, and followed the extremely unreasonable proportions of the pliers to the side of the lobster monster's head.
While waving the big sword in his hand and slashing away at the pair of small eyes, Louis said calmly: "First of all, a guy who loves to eat lobsters will not keep saying that he wants to protect lobsters."
The lobster monster's mutated pair of small eyes suddenly retracted into the shell. Relying on the strength of the shell, he just grabbed the empty pliers and smashed them on his head with his backhand.
Feeling the large pliers flying over that were even taller than his height, and the power that would be fatal to a formal knight, Louis allowed his heart to beat faster and faster, resisting the urge to avoid, and rationally Below, let emotions such as anxiety, fear and tension spread.
Then he released his right hand from the hilt of the sword and punched himself in the chest without warning.
'The knight's secret skill - speed! '
At this moment, the world in Louis' eyes slowed down. The knight's secret skill called "Speed" not only increases the physical speed, but also increases the reaction speed of the nerves. There will be no situation where the physical speed increases, but the reaction cannot be achieved. Come on joke.
Also relying on this secret skill, Louis struck back and followed the carapace of the opponent's head to hide behind the lobster head at a speed faster than the lobster monster's attack.
'Ten seconds to go. '
Silently calculating in his mind how long the "speed" could last, Louis didn't say anything more to the other party. He just struck with a ruthless chop, aiming at the gap between the lobster's head and body and chopped it off.
The two-handed sword of the excellent knight from the other world struck the gap accurately, but due to the angle and strength, it did not penetrate much deep, but it was enough to make the lobster monster feel the pain.
"Tsk, it's so hard."
It's hard to imagine that this thing was an ordinary human before, but after a mutation, it has the power of a knight and a defense comparable to that of a great knight.
You know, Louis spent ten years crawling around in another world before he gained such strength, and the other party might just suddenly have an epiphany and mutate into a weirdo with the same strength as him. It is really unreasonable.
Feeling that the weirdo thing is really unreasonable, Louis can only hope that the limiter he chose can break through and it is also unreasonable.
With this in mind, Louis did not hesitate and took out a potion. He didn't have time to open the bottle cap. He smashed open the top half and drank the potion mixed with some utensil fragments.
The potion blessed with magical power and otherworldly alchemy technology began to take effect the moment it entered the mouth. Louis felt that his physique and strength had been strengthened, that is, he was still under the influence of the "speed" secret skill, otherwise his speed would not be the same. It will improve a lot.
"As expected of the violent potion, it's so exciting!"
Louis, whose eyes began to become bloodshot, roared and screamed wildly. There were abnormal protrusions of blood vessels on the muscles all over his body. Anyone who saw it knew that this was definitely a costly desperate method. Even the lobster weirdo was thinking about it for a moment. Li began to think about whether he had provoked the other party in the past. Why was he so bitter and resentful?
But at this moment, Louis felt that a lock on his body was broken silently, and then all the strangeness in his body disappeared.
Louis raised his right hand: "A close battle."
Then he raised his left hand: "Three attributes exceed the normal limit."
He clenched his hands into fists: "Haha, hahahahahaha, this is the power of the Great Knight! I am so high!"
The discomfort caused by the violent potion and knight's secret skills had little effect on the powerful physique of the newly broken through to the great knight class.
Feeling the breakthrough that was neither scientific nor magical in his body, Louis twitched the corner of his mouth, removed his stand-up posture, and stood there seemingly lazily, allowing the lobster weirdo to turn around.
"Asshole, you hurt me!"
Seeing that the other party's demeanor had recovered, the lobster weirdo felt that he was good again, so he struck down with his pincers.
Facing the pliers attack that he didn't dare to take forcely ten seconds ago, Louis just calmly raised the index finger of his right hand this time and directly held the big pliers that came down.
Although the concrete floor under his feet was suddenly cracked by the transmitted force, Louis himself, who took the blow abruptly, seemed to be fine, and even got a hit.
The lobster monster was startled by this sudden change. If this were in an animation, there would probably be a drop of cold sweat flowing down from its confused little eyes.
"How, how could it be?"
Its brain, which had lost its working power after becoming a monster, couldn't figure out why the guy who could only rely on his agility to be evenly matched with him before now showed the power to crush him.
You must know that this attack relies on the momentum from top to bottom and the strength of the body structure. To be able to downplay the next step like this, it is conceivable that the opponent's strength is much greater than your own, and it is not on the same level at all. .
Just when the lobster weirdo was confused, Louis raised his index finger and shook it, making the weirdo nervous for a while, wondering what Louis was going to do.
Facing the weirdo's nervousness, Louis just said softly.
"Secondly, the so-called lobster actually does not have pincers."
