Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Overwhelming Force

BOOM!

The massive crimson form of Four Arms erupted from the water, his four amber eyes blazing with cold fury as all four muscular arms powered through the lake with devastating strokes. Like a living torpedo, he surged forward with tremendous speed through the water!

His velocity wasn't quite as fast as XLR8, but it was formidable nonetheless!

As the Tetramand warrior swam, enormous waves cascaded behind him with each powerful stroke. The momentum was comparable to the Krakken herself as he mustered all his enhanced strength, swimming toward Jonah Melville's yacht with unstoppable determination!

He drew closer and closer, the sounds of explosions around him growing louder, while the killing intent in his four eyes intensified with each passing second!

Until...

When Four Arms reached the yacht's vicinity, he witnessed Melville slowly loading another specialized rocket while casting a contemptuous glance at the dying Krakken, who was rolling weakly on the water's surface. The sight filled him with righteous rage, and he couldn't help but roar with thunderous fury.

"MELVILLE!!"

Four Arms' voice erupted like a thunderbolt from the heavens, rippling across the entire lake with earth-shaking force!

Even Melville, who had been preparing his rocket launcher, was so startled that he nearly tumbled into the lake!

"What was that? Are we having auditory hallucinations?"

"That wasn't a hallucination, I definitely heard something roaring, and it was calling the boss's name!"

"Yeah, it was like someone was shouting through a megaphone directly into my ear!"

The bone-chilling bellow instantly made his subordinates' souls tremble as they looked around frantically in all directions, panic evident in their movements.

After Melville stabilized himself, his eyes showed obvious alarm as he shouted at his crew, "What are you panicking about?! We have dozens of men, plus rockets and submachine guns! Are we supposed to be afraid of another monster? It just has a loud voice!"

While trying to calm everyone's nerves, he scanned the lake's surface with his eyes, searching for the source of the terrifying sound.

Soon enough...

Melville spotted the crimson figure cutting through the water toward them with incredible speed!

His pupils contracted dramatically, his mouth fell open slightly, and his expression turned to one of absolute shock, "What... what is that thing?!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The subordinates behind him felt the overwhelming sense of dread as Four Arms approached, and they instinctively pulled the triggers of their submachine guns in unison!

Countless bullets with blazing trails flew toward the Tetramand's massive form!

"Bullets?!"

Four Arms' main pair of eyes focused forward while his secondary pair tracked the incoming projectiles, but he showed no intention of dodging the gunfire.

Instead, he increased the power behind each stroke.

Every time his four arms pulled back, they displaced several meters of water, creating waves more than ten meters high!

"He's accelerating?"

Melville watched the red figure transform into a crimson blur, his expression changing to one of disbelief.

This monster that could speak human language was obviously allied with that speedster and the sharp-toothed aquatic creature!

The difference was...

This monster had seen their bullets and chosen to meet them head-on!

"He's definitely going to be riddled with holes!"

"So many monsters have been coming here to die recently!"

"Doesn't matter, if we can't kill him, we'll just keep firing!"

All the subordinates lowered their weapons with smug expressions, watching Four Arms refuse to dodge and instead accelerate directly into their gunfire. Cruel smiles spread across their faces.

Choosing not to dodge bullets but to charge straight into them?

This red monster might look imposing, but his brain clearly wasn't functioning properly, he was asking for death!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

But when the bullets struck Four Arms' forehead, chest, arms, and even his joints...

His armor-like skin, which resembled red muscle forged from superalloy, only expanded slightly like countless balloons before deflecting every single projectile!

Every bullet bounced off harmlessly!

The gunfire couldn't even penetrate Four Arms' tough hide, let alone damage his underlying muscle structure or cause him any real harm!

"The shots... they can't penetrate?!"

One subordinate stared at this scene in complete shock, and when the others witnessed the same impossible sight, they were all thunderstruck!

This red monster's defensive capabilities...

Were they even superior to the Krakken's?!

What kind of joke was this?

The two creatures weren't even in the same size category!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The subordinates refused to accept reality and opened fire again, unleashing burst after burst of concentrated gunfire. They emptied every single bullet from their submachine guns, leaving nothing in reserve!

Bang bang bang...

The results were identical without exception.

Every well-developed muscle on Four Arms' body effortlessly deflected those projectiles, and some bullets of inferior quality actually shattered upon contact with the Tetramand's skin!

In other words, his physical durability had completely surpassed the penetrating power of their low-grade firearms!

"It's over... our weapons are completely useless!"

Everyone fell silent, staring with terror at Four Arms as he drew closer and closer to their position.

They finally understood the truth.

Four Arms hadn't dodged their bullets not because he was stupid.

But because their pathetic copper and lead projectiles couldn't even scratch his incredibly durable hide!

"This... this monster is impossibly strong!" Melville felt cold sweat beading on his forehead as he watched Four Arms approach, and the water droplets splashing onto him only intensified his growing dread!

This creature...

Had come here for revenge!

Moreover, why was this red monster so overwhelmingly powerful?!

Terror consumed Melville completely!

"Hit him with the rockets! It's our only option left!" he screamed with desperate fury, his voice cracking under the strain.
