Chapter 511: Monsters and... Heroes!
The fire-spitting monster, instead of quickly attacking the nearby crowd, spat out a large amount of flames and then threw his head back and spat upwards.
He was a human being who made a living selling toys, but he had not sold any for a few days, as children always get bored with new toys and the old ones no longer hold their attention, while some of the luminous toys he had made, because some people had maliciously spread the rumor that they were harmful, the people who often come to the square more or less heard about them and no longer buy them.
He could not sell the toys.
He had nothing left.
When he saw another child trying to take his toys, and being stopped by a parent who said they were harmful and forced the child away, the toy in his hand became one with him.
All the light toys rushed and poured into his body.
He went mad.
"Ahhhhhhhhh..."
The fire monster roared, shooting flames dozens of feet into the air, like a glowing firework, but with an eerie terror.
"It burns... everything... this is real fire... if they don't like fire... let the world be a world of fire..."
The flame monster roared, then closed its mouth, lowered its head and prepared to hurl flames at the distant crowd.
But just then.
BANG!!!
Amai Mask, who was approaching, threw a punch that hit him in the jaw, turning his head half a circle at a time, and blood spurted out all at once.
"Justice executed."
Amai Mask held his punching stance and opened his mouth with a cold face.
After breaking the flaming monster's neck, he slowly lowered his fist, but his face changed slightly after that, because he saw that the monster whose neck he had broken had not fallen down!
Crack! Crack!!!
The entire head of the broken neck snapped off, and burning flames, which had turned a dazzling yellow, burst out of it towards him.
Amai Mask dodged it without hesitation, but his arm was brushed by the flames, and his clothes burned in an instant, exposing his human skin, which was also charred and blackened.
"This guy..."
"He's not just any monster!"
Amai Mask covered the burns on his arm, and looked at the flaming monster with a bit of seriousness, his eyes quickly swept over its body, and said, "It's a costume-type monster, and a newborn monster, with the ability to evolve and further increase its power..."
Whoosh!!!!
Facing the flames sprayed by the flame monster again, Amai Mask jumped, avoiding the flames, reached the sky above the flame monster and then punched it.
The punch hit the Flame Monster's spine squarely, sending it crashing to the ground with a loud clatter and denting the ground.
Auge!
The monster's neck exploded.
Instead of golden flames, dazzling white flames shot out of the hole and pounced on Amai Mask's body in the blink of an eye.
Amai Mask staggered backwards and landed on the ground, rolling several times before standing up, his clothes off and his skin showing horrible burns.
But the strange thing was, the burns were twisting and healing at a rapid rate.
"Shit..."
"This guy's monster level is not demon level... such power... dragon level..."
Amai Mask's face changed drastically.
Although he had taken down many demon level monsters, and had participated in conquests against dragon level monsters, he had never taken down a dragon level monster alone!
"You are a hero, Amai Mask, I remember you..."
The flame monster rose from the ground, its broken neck twisted a couple of times as it sprouted a flaming face.
He looked off into the distance, at the civilians surrounding the square, excited and excited, taking pictures of the area with their cell phones and other devices, and said, "That's a lot of people, a guy like me selling toys on the corner would never get this kind of attention, I'd just be ignored by everyone.... but now my flame won't go away!".
Buzz!!!
White flames shot out of his mouth, shooting towards Amai Mask.
Amai Mask didn't hesitate to dodge.
Buzz!!!
The earth hit by the white flame instantly dented and melted, turning a terrifying orange color and appearing as a puddle of lava-like material.
"What terrible power..."
Amai Mask's face was ugly, and with a flash of his figure, he gritted his teeth and ran directly under the Flame Monster, then struck fiercely, hitting the Flame Monster's stomach.
The Flame Monster's stomach sank and it fell back a few steps, but instead of falling, it grabbed Amai Mask's head and slammed it to the ground.
Auge!!!
The ground cracked.
After smashing Amai Mask to the ground, the Flame Monster opened its mouth and spat a stream of white flames onto the shattered ground, melting the nearby earth into lava.
"Is it dead?"
Flame Monster glanced at the melting lava, stood upright and said, "What's the use of gaining so much popularity? In the end, it will still be melted by the flames... so next it will be making this world my plaything!".
He let out a wild laugh, looked away at the frightened people and prepared to step forward and throw flames at them, burning everything to the ground.
Seeing this, the numerous civilians and fans in the distance, excitedly taking pictures with their cell phones, cameras and other utensils, stiffened.
"Ahhh..."
"How could I..."
"Amai... Amai Mask-sama has been defeated..."
Panic broke out.
Countless people looked at the pool of molten lava, and all of them showed a look of horror.
Although they were just ordinary people, and were far away, they could feel the terrifying heat, which was definitely not for humans to endure, even steel could melt.
With such an attack, Amai Mask might not only have been defeated, but might have been killed by the monster!
But...
What no one saw was that deep in the molten magma, Amai Mask did not turn to ashes, his skin was constantly writhing, resisting the heat of the magma.
"Ah..."
"Human form, you can't defeat a monster like this, it must be unrestricted... but people are watching here, so doing so would expose my monster form and my identity.... "
"... But if I don't stand up right now and take down this monster, that flame-spewing guy will definitely create a huge casualty area and kill countless civilians..."
"But if I turn into a monster to fight him, then the situation will also be so bad that I won't be able to perform heroic activities as a human again, to protect humans and save more people..."
"So when it continues its rampage, creates some panic, kills some people, and the rest of the civilians start to flee, and no one gathers here, then I will release my form, so that no one will see it, and I won't be exposed..."
Amai Mask lay at the bottom of the lava.
It was like being submerged in the depths of the sea.
Outside.
The Flame Monster let out a fierce laugh, stepped forward with his left foot, stomped on the ground with a loud thud, splitting the ground in two, then stepped forward with his right foot, and opened his mouth, and white hot flames began to gather in his mouth.
But at that moment, his movement was forcibly stopped, and his right foot, which was about to rise, failed to do so, because a hand grabbed his ankle!
A hand that came out of the lava.
"Hmm?"
The flaming monster stopped moving and turned its head to look.
He saw Amai Mask emerge from the lava, skin twisting and writhing, returning to his normal handsome appearance, as if he had no scars.
Amai Mask withdrew his hand and used that hand to grab the muscles of his chest, the muscles quickly twisted and changed into a bloody and extremely ugly form.
The ugly flesh quickly spread upwards.
His handsome face, too, was instantly transformed into a swollen, ugly face, so twisted with scars and furrows that there was hardly any human form left, and the mere sight of it was uncomfortable.
But in this form, Amai Mask's eyes showed no confusion, but only a hint of calm.
He looked at the flame monster and spoke in a low, calm voice.
"Transformation... Liberation..."
