“Where is Kas?” Hearing Silas’s words, Ye Chui frowned and asked.
“Kas the town mayor was seriously injured when he came out. Although he was healed with light magic, he is still in a coma,” Silas said hurriedly. Her face was somewhat anxious, “What to do? These people are convinced that you killed their presidents. For the past two days, they have been spreading the word that they want to take revenge on you… Damn it, they only know how to bully the weak. How could their presidents possibly have been killed by you!?”
“Er, Silas, Thorne, Billis, Edel, those people were indeed killed by us,” Ye Chui quietly corrected Silas.
“Ah?” Silas’s pretty face was immediately filled with surprise.
“Hmph, these overconfident fools, Debbie and I obtained powerful strength in the ruins,” Debbie’s little face lit up with pride. She took out the summoning key from her small bag, “I’ll go deal with them!”
“No, Gilga’s injury hasn’t healed yet, right? Jiji’s magic consumption is too high, you can’t control her perfectly yet,” Ye Chui quickly pulled Debbie back. He said with a proud face, “This time, let me handle it.”
“No way, are you going to summon Dragon Baby again?” Debbie looked at Ye Chui in surprise.
Ye Chui shook his head. He flipped to the summoning card for Dragon Baby and saw that the entire card was now in a dark grey colour. A clock-like angle was slowly dissipating, just like a skill cooldown. It seemed that summoning Dragon Baby required a period of buffering each time.
Ye Chui’s iPad magic guide book clearly possessed the abilities of a summoner, but it seemed a bit different from ordinary summoners. Skill CD was a major restriction. Of course, this was not a big problem, because he could summon many heroic spirits.
He chuckled and said to Debbie, “Dragon Baby can’t be summoned again in a short time, but… dealing with these guys is still no problem.”
Silas said incredulously, “The curse of the Demon Emperor, I must remind you that the people outside now include many experts from the Bullhead Magic Guild and the Goddess’s Kiss Magic Guild, plus some mercenaries and swordsmen who joined in for the fun. They are almost equivalent to the highest level of combat power in the entire Stan Town right now. How could you possibly be their opponents? You seem to have a good relationship with Green. Why not have Green go find their president to help you solve the problem? The president of the Blue Horn Guild also has considerable prestige.”
“No need, I can deal with them,” Ye Chui said with a light smile. Then, with some anticipation, he clicked on that bald card.
A progress bar quickly appeared: 1%… 2%… 3%…
The progress bar proceeded smoothly and soon reached 100%!
Then, accompanied by a golden light, the cloak fluttered in the air. The shiny bald head seemed to reflect the light coming in from the window outside, especially dazzling. A certain bald man who looked listless appeared in front of Ye Chui, Debbie, and Silas.
Summoning successful!
“Heroic spirits unlocked from the playback library can be summoned without a medium!” Ye Chui was delighted in his heart. He vaguely understood that the medium represented an object related to the heroic spirit, and those film and anime works had the only connection to this world through him, so the so-called medium was himself!
“This is a heroic spirit! You, when did you make a contract with a new heroic spirit!?” Debbie’s little mouth was open wide enough to swallow an egg. She was already surprised enough to know that the black gold flame dragon was a heroic spirit summoned by Ye Chui. Now he had summoned yet another new heroic spirit!
Silas also showed a dumbfounded expression, as if she had completely forgotten how to express her shock.
Then, they couldn’t help but say together, “This heroic spirit seems to have a different art style from us.”
“Hello,” the bald man glanced around and greeted in a soft, unenergetic manner. He spoke the language of that other world, but Ye Chui could understand him. He introduced himself, “I am a heroic spirit driven by interest…”
…
Outside the wooden house, a group of people had surrounded the place tightly. Most of them came from the Bullhead and Goddess’s Kiss Magic Guilds, skilled members of the guilds. Their presidents and some experts had stayed in the divine ruins and were now probably dead. Old Merlin had confirmed that the connection coordinates had completely disappeared. But Ye Chui and the other three had escaped from the ruins?
This must be a conspiracy!
Ye Chui and Debbie used some vicious, despicable tricks to kill the president and the others. It was unforgivable. They had to make them receive the most severe punishment. Of course, most importantly, they might be able to obtain the gains and treasures from the ruins from the two…
In any case, these two were a novice magic mentor and an unreliable girl summoner. In a direct confrontation, no matter how you looked at it, they should not be able to win against them.
“They must have gained something in the ruins. We can’t touch Kas, that kid Green is protected by their president, but these two have no backing!”
“They previously rejected the recruitment from Bullhead and Goddess’s Kiss. This is an insult to us. Now the president died because of them. They are dead!”
“Kas is still in a coma. Even if we kill them, no one can do anything to us!”
These people shouted viciously. When Ye Chui woke up earlier, someone happened to be outside and immediately notified them. The reason they didn’t act while Ye Chui and Debbie were unconscious was that they wanted to know what happened in the ruins from their mouths and obtain the gains from the ruins from their hands.
One of them, a one-eyed magic mentor, began preparing to release a magic spell to bombard the wooden house and force Ye Chui and Debbie out. But at this moment, the door creaked open by itself. Then, the young magic mentor who had become a prominent figure in recent days walked out from inside.
Following behind him was a bald man in strange yellow clothes, an Eastern face that stood out from the others, with drooping eyes looking around left and right, seemingly completely unconcerned about the tense situation outside. That appearance looked full of disharmony.
Behind the bald man were Debbie and Silas. They were staring strangely at the bald man. Debbie’s gaze was completely focused on the bald man’s head, as if wondering how a person’s head could be so shiny…
“Wade…” The one-eyed magic mentor temporarily ignored the bald man’s eye-catching appearance and looked at Ye Chui, “What happened to Mr Thorne, Lord Billis, and Mr Edel?”
“Dead,” Ye Chui said flatly. With the bald man standing beside him, he felt very safe.
“How did they die!?” A bearded man questioned.
“They were tempted by the devil and then killed by us,” Ye Chui continued.
“You’re talking nonsense!”
“What devil?”
“How could Mr Thorne and Lord Billis be killed by a trash like you!”
“Tell us the truth about what happened in the divine ruins!”
The others started clamouring.
Magic spells and sword qi were already on the verge of release towards Ye Chui.
“Believe it or not, anyway, no matter what I say, you won’t let me go, right?” Ye Chui asked with a cold smile.
The one-eyed magic mentor’s mouth curved into an evil smile. He flipped through his magic guide book, “You’re right. I advise you to hand over what you gained in the ruins. That way, I can let you die more decently. Otherwise… hehe.”
Ye Chui shook his head. Now, with Kas and Tum, the town’s administrators, either dead or in a coma, the town’s security was in a state of no management. It was clear that these people truly intended to kill him. Originally, Ye Chui was quite averse to killing, but after the tempering of the ruins adventure, these knots had been completely resolved.
He smiled coldly and said to the bald man behind him, “It’s up to you now, Saitama-sensei.”
“Oh, I see,” the bald man shook his head, standing in front of Ye Chui with an innocent, harmless appearance.
The others, seeing this man who seemed to have a completely different art style suddenly step forward, instinctively became alert.
A tall and burly swordsman let out a fierce shout and jumped out, swinging his great sword down towards the bald man’s body. In anyone’s view, this sword was absolutely fatal. That weird bald man would surely die. They seemed to have already imagined a gruesome scene of blood splattering.
However…
“Ping—”
The great sword slashed over the bald man’s head. The bald man’s head swayed like a sandbag. Apart from that, there was no abnormality at all. With a crack, the burly swordsman’s great sword suddenly broke.
Everyone was shocked simultaneously.
The bald man touched his bald head. A hint of anger appeared on his listless face, “That hurts!”
Damn, only hurts!?
Then, with anger, the bald man raised his arm.
A casual punch.
Boom!
The burly swordsman opened his mouth wide. He was wearing heavy armour with extremely strong defence, but that heavy armour had no blocking effect under this punch. The armour directly shattered into slag. The punch force instantly paralysed his body. Before he could cry out in pain or react to what was happening, his body shattered into a puddle of mud in the air.
The power of that casual punch had not yet dissipated.
The one-eyed magic mentor felt the terrifying punch wind coming towards him to kill. He hurriedly cast a powerful attack magic spell, [Thunder’s Roar], but it was of no use. The summoned thunder touched the punch wind carried by that fist and instantly dissipated formlessly. The power was at a crushing level! His magic guide book shattered into powder in the punch wind, and along with it, his body turned into debris under the fist.
Then the next one, the next one…
Accompanied by booming sounds, after one punch, in front of the bald man, a fan-shaped blood-coloured trench appeared. The house across the street, after shaking a few times, collapsed with a boom amid the exclamations of the onlookers inside.
Everyone present at the time was dumbfounded.
“Ah, that’s it,” in this atmosphere, the bald man waved to Ye Chui, “I’m going back.”
“Just like that?” Ye Chui came back to his senses and hurriedly asked.
“I am a one-punch heroic spirit, so each time I am summoned, I can only punch once—this is the stipulation of the summoning contract—because you unlocked the discounted promotional version of me, I can only throw a casual punch. To make me throw a serious punch, you need to spend another 20,000 points to unlock the full version. Also, the current me can only be summoned on Saturday discount promotional days.”
After saying this, the one-punch heroic spirit looked around once more, muttering in his mouth, “I seem to have come to a strange place,” and then dissipated into the air.
Ye Chui then noticed that in the previously unlocked video files, there were the words “abridged version”… An abridged discounted heroic spirit indeed had flaws. He knew it was impossible to summon a Super Saiyan-level guy for just 200 points. Moreover, the consumption for summoning the heroic spirit was not his magic power, but points. That punch just now was worth 100 points.
It seemed that summoning the one-punch heroic spirit had great restrictions.
However, Ye Chui was very satisfied with this effect. It was completely worth the price—he scanned around. Those guys who had come to cause trouble but were not affected by that punch all fled in panic, howling like ghosts and wolves.
Although the terrifying bald heroic spirit had disappeared, his perverted strength had left a profound impression on them.
How could they dare to provoke this young magic mentor again…
