Chapter 88: Night Guy!!
The blade traced a swift arc through the air, slicing through the space and simultaneously shattering Melzargard's palm as it attempted a sneak attack from behind.
"Quite a quick reaction, human, but as I said, I am immortal and indestructible. You cannot defeat me!"
Looking at the fully restored Melzargard, Atomic Samurai felt a headache coming on. His Atomic Slash actually failed to kill the opponent. Could this guy really be unkillable?
Whatever. Regardless of whether he can be killed or not, all I need to do is swing my sword. That's all.
Atomic Slash!
Thousands upon thousands of slashes covered Melzargard's body once again. Atomic Samurai teleported behind him, but this time he didn't strike a pose; instead, he carefully observed the way the opponent was being shredded.
This guy must have some kind of weakness... If he truly is immortal and indestructible... that would be far too overpowered... Hmm?!
Under Atomic Samurai's observation, he finally discovered a problem.
Melzargard's body was actually reconverging at a certain point, using it to reconstruct a new body.
Without a moment's hesitation, the blade in Atomic Samurai's hand turned into an afterimage, instantly slicing Melzargard's newly reconstructed head back into countless fragments.
Found it!
"So it's this thing. Is this what you're relying on?"
Atomic Samurai's gaze landed on a small, crystal-clear bead among the floating fragments, and he followed up with a slash.
As the cold slash passed through, Melzargard's pupils suddenly constricted, his tone filled with disbelief:
"Damn it! How did you find it!"
His body stopped reconstructing, and black gas began to emanate from his surface as his strong frame started to rot.
Watching Melzargard gradually lose his life force, Atomic Samurai ignored him and turned to shout:
"Everyone! This monster's weakness is a small purple bead inside its body. Find it and crush it, and it will die!"
Hearing this, a ferocious smile appeared on Metal Bat's face. Veins bulged on his arms; he was clearly itching for action.
He had long been infuriated by this indestructible punching bag in front of him. Every strike felt like hitting cotton, which was sickeningly frustrating!
"Bat Pummel!"
Metal Bat swung his bat wildly, directly smashing Melzargard's body in front of him into pieces.
Bang chuckled and took the stance of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist. With a few punches, he shattered the body of the Melzargard before him.
Tanktop Master and Puri-Puri Prisoner attacked together. The two fought the two Melzargards in front of them, their fists falling like a torrential rain, constantly crushing the opponent's bodies in an attempt to find the cores.
As for Saitama, after hearing that this mud-man had a core weakness, he threw a punch with a hint of boredom.
He had originally thought this mud-man was truly unkillable and was looking forward to having a handy punching bag.
But since it has a core, never mind.
The Melzargard facing Saitama barely had time to react before its entire body was destroyed by an unmatched force, with its core exploding along with it.
Melzargard thought to himself that things were bad; his greatest weakness had been discovered just like that. This was a major problem!
He knew the terror of having his weakness exposed; it meant his near-invincible immortal body would be broken.
But at this moment, Melzargard was helpless. These earthlings were each stronger than the last. If he chose Body Integration, his core would surely be found and he'd be killed within a few rounds.
With that thought, Melzargard could only seek backup.
"Hey! Geryuganshoop! Send down some reinforcements! We're about to lose it!"
However, the brainwaves he sent out were like a stone sinking into the ocean, with no response at all.
Melzargard's heart sank; he already knew the likely outcome.
He wasn't a fool. The shockwaves of Lord Boros's battle were coming from above, which meant someone had already broken into the ship and begun fighting Lord Boros.
In that case, Geryuganshoop, who was guarding the palace, was most likely doomed.
He could now only place his hopes on his comrade, Groribas, another one of the Three Generals.
But when Melzargard turned his head, he only saw Groribas being pinned to the ground and pummeled by a black muscular giant... Energy ripples dispersed, and both figures were sent flying back, respectively crashing into the walls.
King shook his hand, feeling the bone-cracking sensation in his fist, and spoke with a tone of praise:
"As expected of the Cosmic Overlord. To be able to clash with me head-on without even entering your strongest explosive form."
This was the first time King had used the Emperor Fist in actual combat, and the results were surprisingly good.
On the other side, the arm Boros had used to clash was gone, and a huge bloody hole had appeared in his chest; his upper body was nearly smashed to pieces.
But in just an instant, new flesh buds intertwined and tangled, and skin covered the area at extreme speed. Such a fatal injury was completely healed by Boros in the blink of an eye.
"Again!"
Boros's tone became increasingly frenzied. He was clearly enjoying the battle completely, turning into a streak of blue light as he zipped through the interior of the spaceship.
With a flash, Boros appeared behind King and instantly threw nearly a hundred punches, his violent power making the space itself tremble slightly.
King suddenly turned around and swung his fists just as quickly. The immense power contained in his fists condensed the air into physical shockwaves, which surged forward in the form of air pillars.
"Evening Elephant!"
With every clash between the two, blood would splatter from Boros's fists, but they would always recover in the next second.
In the moment of another clash, Boros's arm was blown apart again, and King seized the opportunity.
This time, King didn't give Boros time to regenerate and moved directly in front of him.
Then, King raised his leg. The Blood Qi on his body burned as bright as the sun, rapidly overflowing to his skin's surface. A Blood Qi Dragon nearly a thousand meters long quickly formed, almost spanning the entire sky.
"Night Guy!!"
