Killing with Heartbeat, Deep Sea King
In front of TV, King was dumbfounded, 'They passed out. At least some information was revealed.'
After thinking for a moment, King sent a message to the Association.
'I apologize to the two Heroes for my Carelessness. I thought they were already unconscious, and released my power a little more than enough.'
When the hero association received the message, their eyes nearly popped out. Although it was them who gave the strongest man title to King, the shock was still obvious in their face.
From the interview of the two heroes, King came into a conclusion.
'If I found a low level monster and went full ham with King Engine, maybe the task can be completed quite easily.'
With his current strength, King could pretty much handle most of the monster threats, but the future is always changing.
Without delaying, he moved towards the P-city again and with the help of monster watcher, started to search for a suitable target.
Most of the monsters he encountered were bizarre car shaped, animals' mutation, and few of unknown origins.
He immediately started using King Engine, but the effects were not what he expected. He was able to render them motionless with the ability.
Most of the wolf level monster would immediately pass out, and after that effects of King Engine were useless.
'I will focus on Perception first, at least 100 more, then maybe there will be some effects.'
Due to the monster in P-city scattered all over the place, it took more time than he expected to collect few attributes, and he was in need of hundreds.
Taking only little time to rest and eat, King started to hit the cities near him; K city, L city, O-city and Q-city.
A satisfying number of attributes points were collected in five days. Dumping all the point in perception, he was again ready to try King Engine again.
[Perception 526 (+100)]
When the perception broke through the 500 points, the watch was useless. He can sense more area than the watch, and it was easier to keep track of a specific target.
…
In one of the ruined building of Q-city, king came across a group of monsters with mole face but body was like that of Kangaroo.
He approached them slowly, after seeing him they immediately turned aggressive and attacked him. Dodging one by one, he waited to get close to the one which looked weaker.
Approaching the weaker monster, he activated King Engine followed by King Hand and King Face. The monster was petrified.
At first he thought it was a failure as well, but…
[Congratulations! You have succeeded in the doing something never been done before.
Reward: New ability- Super Sparking King mode: Increase the attribute by 30% for 30 minutes. (Cool down: 24 hours)]
'This was easy.' He was looking at the monster in front of him supported by his hand, "Thank you for your contribution."
Ding!
[Releasing task: Kill 100 Demon threat level monsters.
Reward: Attribute amplification]
'Oh. A good one; just completing the task I can collect 500 points, as for the reward, I will think about it later.'
In the excitement of killing a monster with a heartbeat, he cleaned the Q-city of monsters completely.
…
Ding!
[You have reached 400 points on all attributes. Congratulations! You have reached the first milestone of limit breaker. Your body will undergo changes for the next 24 hours.]
A pain started to eat his body, trying to make him lose conscious. He gritted his teeth and lied down on the ground in the parking of the hospital.
When the time was up, he felt refreshed like he was reborn.
[Attribute panel:
Strength 410, Physique 402, Agility 401, Perception 526 (+100)
Evaluation: Limit breaker- 1st milestone]
'Looks like I will be facing pain quite often from now on. And the evaluation has completely changed too.'
Finally returning to the apartment, he opened TV to find news of some surprising things. In one week many things have happened.
The house of Evolution, the meteor in Z-city and some other news were being published. 'I totally forgot about the monsters in House of Evolution. I would have gotten quite a lot of points. Sigh'
…
After thinking for some time, King put on a cap and a mask and left the apartment.
Till the dusk, King spent time in arcade trying different games. The trait Master Gamer was phenomenal, breaking one record after another. His attention was caught by a commotion in the arcade.
It seems J-city was being attacked by sea monsters, and many A- rank heroes were injured.
'This is a good opportunity. Let's finish this game first.'
…
The entire J-city was in high alert; many announcements were reverting in the city to warn the citizens.
Jumping form one building to another, it was quite refreshing. But the unexpected rain was mood changing.
His mask after getting wet was uncomfortable to put on, so he just removed it.
In the rainy night, King moved stealthily and at a high speed. His attention was caught by some commotion right in front of him.
A person, naked was running towards him, 'Is that Sonic. It is good that I got to fight that monster so soon.'
When sonic was running away from the sea monster, a shadow like figure was coming towards him.
When they passed each other, Sonic was only able to see a shadow flash right past him, towards the monster.
After getting a certain distance, he stopped and turned around to look at the monster. A person was in direct confrontation with the monster.
"Another puny human; take my punch," the deep sea king without thinking much lunched its punch.
Swashhh…
A sound of something cutting the air echoed and the deep sea monster turned into liquid and flowed down the building mixed with water, finally reaching the sewer.
[You killed a Demon threat level monster. 5 attribute point gained.]
'It was just a demon level. The shockwave was able to destroy everything in one move; I should learn to use my punch more efficiently…'
'Looks like sonic is still here for the show, I should give him a little scare. Hee.. hee'
King activated the King Engine but didn't allow the sound to be too loud, then used King Face and turned to look at the direction of Sonic.
'Looks like it didn't work. After all Sonic can be categorized as S-rank in term of abilities.' After not getting any reaction from Sonic, King disappeared from the building using his top speed.
…
When Sonic reached a safe distance, he turned around to find out who was facing the sea monster.
'He is fast; I was barely able to catch his shadow. Is he S-rank hero? Let's see how strong he is?'
It has not been long when he finished his thought; the sea monster was turned into liquid, 'What happened? I didn't see a thing? I should run away.'
When Sonic was ready to escape, the person turn around; Sonic body froze, 'that scar, that's King… is he going to come after me? Shit, why can't I move? Move damn it…' Sonic was feeling existential crisis, when King suddenly disappeared from the building.
Sonic felt his body was able to move, he ran away like his life was in the line. 'This King is giving me the same vibe as that bald head. One is playing with me and another didn't even put me in his eyes. Damn it.'
For the entire night, the hero association was searching for the whereabouts of the deep sea king, but nothing was found.
A surveillance team was established to keep an eye for the Deep sea King, at the same time King was smiling at the news of sudden disappearance of Deep Sea king.
After this incident, it was pretty peaceful for another few weeks. King practically ran around cities killing monsters time to time and playing games.
He started to live a laid back life, without any worry.
Finally reaching 500 points in all the attributes, he was able to reach 2nd milestone of Limit breaker.
The second milestone strengthened the muscle fibers, bone constitution and most importantly every cell in his body was practically filled with energy ready to burst when necessary.
His peaceful days were interrupted by an emergency call arrived from the Hero Association.
Basically, a prophecy with warning about great danger has surfaced. Every S-rank was called to take part in the meeting.
