Heros saw the creatures were just larger versions of the exploding mouse-monkeys from before. A single glance revealed their overwhelming numbers, and they were all heading straight for him.
Just then, Xu Chan, who had shed his outer clothes, flickered and instantly appeared before him. A faint light glinted on his fist as he threw a punch.

He had already applied an odor-blocking salve to his body. The mouse-monkeys were quite intelligent; when they saw him also attacking their hated target, they wouldn't attack him.
But just as he threw his punch—even though he was the one who initiated the attack—he found Heros's fist was unbelievably fast. It reached him first, and he could feel the pressure from a distance.
