Boom!!!
The ten energy spheres fused together, condensing into a single colossal orb of destruction.
It expanded outward at a terrifying speed, swallowing surrounding buildings in an instant—spreading for hundreds of kilometers in the blink of an eye!
Under such apocalyptic power—
Tanktop Master was blasted away on the spot.
Crushed in a single exchange.
"Emergency evacuation alert!"
"Emergency evacuation alert!"
"Disaster level: Dragon!"
"All citizens, please proceed to shelters immediately!"
The citywide alarm of City A blared without warning.
The moment the tank-top-clad men and women heard it—those who had been waiting for Tanktop Master's triumphant return—
Their hearts sank.
Faces turned deathly pale.
And just as panic spread—
A thunderous roar rapidly approached.
A jet-black, domineering motorcycle tore through the street at full speed.
All eyes were instantly drawn to it.
A man wearing a black tank top stepped forward, blocking the motorcycle's path.
"Hey, sir, stop right there. Don't go any further."
"There's a Dragon-level monster ahead. While the road's still intact, you should evacuate immediately."
The motorcycle slowed and stopped in front of him.
"You people aren't running either, are you?"
"So why can't I go?"
"I'm a hero too. How could I just turn tail and run?"
His words sounded righteous and noble—
But in truth, it was all for energy.
Now that he possessed mid-to-high Dragon-level combat power, even if he couldn't beat a Dragon-level monster outright—
He still wanted to get in on it.
At the very least, he could leech some gains.
Hearing Luo Yu's response, the tank-top group was stunned.
"Who is this hero…? Is he S-Class?"
"Could it be Drive Knight? No… doesn't look like him."
"Yeah, even the best commercial motorcycle wouldn't suit Drive Knight at all."
"He's not S-Class and he's going to fight a Dragon-level monster?"
"That's suicide!"
Nearly all of them looked doubtful.
With no other choice—
Luo Yu casually condensed a Binding Immortal Talisman and slapped it onto the black tank-top man.
Boom—boom—boom—
The motorcycle's engine roared again.
Luo Yu shot past him and disappeared down the road.
The black tank-top man froze in place. Just as he tried to stop him, his expression changed drastically.
"What the hell…? I can't move!"
"That flash of light hit me and suddenly my body won't respond!"
"What did that guy just do?!"
"What?! There's an ability like that?"
"Is he an esper?"
"Regardless of who he is—he dares to fight a Dragon-level monster."
"If we just stand here waiting… isn't that cowardly?"
Watching Luo Yu's retreating figure—
A fire ignited in the hearts of the tank-top group.
"When has the Tanktop Army ever backed down?!"
"That thing is a monster. If it's a monster, it has weaknesses!"
"The Master might still be fighting!"
"How can we lag behind?!"
They clenched their fists and sprinted toward Vaccine Man's location.
Unable to find Tanktop Master again, Vaccine Man's face filled with contempt.
"So this is S-Class?"
"A mere human dared challenge me, an apostle of the planet itself."
"How laughably foolish!"
Bathed in purple light, Vaccine Man flew forward, advancing toward the city.
Countless energy spheres condensed around his body—
Clearly preparing another city-destroying strike.
Boom—boom—boom—
The thunderous roar of an engine rapidly closed in.
Vaccine Man turned his head, eyes flashing coldly.
"Another one dares to come?"
"Probably some worthless hero."
"I'll blow you to pieces!"
Seeing Vaccine Man's light flare violently, Luo Yu immediately sensed danger.
With a single thought—
Hundreds of talismans condensed in midair.
"Hundredfold Binding Immortal Talisman!"
They shot forward faster than lightning.
Buzz—
The air itself let out a strange hum.
White chains materialized from nothingness, wrapping tightly around Vaccine Man—
At a terrifying speed, cocooning him into a white chrysalis.
Vaccine Man's eyes widened in shock.
"What is this?!"
"What did you do to me?! I can't move!"
"Don't think this can stop my attack!"
He forcefully focused his will.
The blinding glow surged once more.
Luo Yu squinted.
"Looks like it really is Vaccine Man."
"But where's that bald demon king?"
"Did I arrive too early?"
After a bit of casual internal grumbling, Luo Yu focused again.
"Forget it. That bald guy is too slow to rely on."
"I'll try out my new move."
"Thousandfold Thunder Talisman!"
Above Vaccine Man—
The sky warped.
A thousand Five-Thunder Talismans layered themselves into existence.
The moment the formation completed—
The heavens changed color.
Colossal storm clouds gathered instantly.
What shocked everyone was—
The entire cloud mass was filled with blinding lightning.
Brighter than the sun itself!
BOOM!!!
A deafening thunderclap tore through the sky.
A pillar of lightning over a hundred meters thick crashed straight down!
The raging thunder instantly pierced through both the binding talismans and Vaccine Man himself.
Overwhelming energy poured down endlessly.
Vaccine Man's body blackened at an astonishing speed—
Reduced to ash in the blink of an eye.
Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 73,258 energy. Keep it up!
Hearing the system notification, Luo Yu felt utterly refreshed.
The city fell into silence.
The storm clouds dispersed, and the sky returned to a brilliant blue.
Watching Vaccine Man get erased from existence—
The tank-top group was completely dumbfounded.
"Th-That monster… it was just… vaporized…"
"That lightning ability—how is it that strong?!"
"Who is that hero? I've never seen him before!"
"With strength like that… he's definitely S-Class."
"And even among S-Class, he'd rank near the top!"
Before they could fully process it—
A massive explosion erupted from the street.
Their hearts leapt into their throats.
Dust and smoke billowed.
A towering, muscular man in a tank top emerged.
His vest was riddled with holes, blood soaking through.
He looked battered and miserable—
But the tank-top group instantly recognized him.
"M-Master…!"
"It's the Master!"
"He's badly injured!"
"That monster was that strong?!"
"Doesn't that mean…"
"The lightning esper earlier was even stronger than the Master?!"
Shock rippled through the group.
Seeing their familiar faces, Tanktop Master's expression turned grave.
"Do you all realize how dangerous this place is?"
"That monster was terrifying—only the very top heroes could've handled it."
"Why aren't you evacuating?!"
"Leave immediately, or it'll be too late!"
Seeing how urgent he was—
The group's expressions grew even stranger.
"M-Master… the monster's already been dealt with…"
"Yeah… there's nothing to worry about anymore."
"A hero on a black motorcycle—lightning abilities…"
"He erased the monster in a single hit…"
