People always have many stereotypes.
C-class and B-class heroes are like Wolf-level and Tiger-level Monsters; they look like cannon fodder and small fry no matter how you slice it.
In reality…
B-class heroes are already the backbone of the Hero Association.
They can contend with powerful Tiger-level Monsters alone, and even if they can't defeat them, they can stall for time until reinforcements arrive.
While C-class heroes are more than a step behind, their strength and physique already surpass professional athletes among ordinary people.
If put on a short video platform, they could instantly attract a string of likes and comments like "Holy cow, boss!" "Why didn't evolution include me?" "Max-level human!"
The camera returns to the disaster scene.
Frost Cabbage, seeing its attack blocked, asked in confusion, "Human! Could it be… you're not afraid of death?!"
"Afraid of death… I am a Hero!" San Jie Gun Lili gripped her weapon tightly, flames seemingly burning in her resolute eyes. "Monster, don't underestimate our Fubuki Group's determination to protect everyone!"
The Cabbage Monster let out a disdainful snort, "Foolish human!"
More frosty flying leaves peeled from its body, glinting with cold light as they shot from all directions towards the girl!
The girl's San Jie Gun spun rapidly, desperately fending off the Monster's torrential attacks.
A bone-chilling cold instantly spread through her arms along the metal pole, numbing her tiger's mouth.
She gritted her silver teeth, her small body retreating continuously under the relentless impacts, and thin ice even began to form under her feet, making her movements increasingly sluggish.
"Lili, we're here!"
Just as Lili was about to collapse, several figures leaped from above the crowd behind her, charging forward like a hundred-meter sprint and joining the fray.
Leading the charge was a thin man in a suit who looked like a salesman, with long hair tied into a ponytail, but his speed was astonishing.
This person was the B-class Hero ranked 2nd, the second-in-command of the Fubuki Group—
Eyelashes!
Although his hero name was Eyelashes, Eyelashes' Eyelashes were not actually thick.
His hero name came from the two large, specially made eyelash curlers he was wielding; while these things didn't look like weapons, their power was considerable when infused with a Hero's strength and speed.
"Watch my Eyelash Curler Combo!"
Eyelashes performed a front flip, leaping over the struggling San Jie Gun Lili in front of him, and swung the large eyelash curlers in his hands into a dazzling string of silver light, precisely crushing a spinning frost leaf!
"Lili, get behind me! Monster, eat my Mountain Ape Heavy Punch!"
Another burly, muscular man in a black suit, who looked like a senior security guard, charged towards the Monster right behind him, roaring and throwing a heavy punch.
B-class Hero ranked 3rd, Mountain Ape!
"Great, everyone… has arrived!"
With the pressure from the Monster shared by her companions, San Jie Gun Lili immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wait for me!"
"Miss Lili, don't be afraid! If you ask why, it's because I'm here!!"
"Brother Eyelashes, Brother Mountain Ape, kill slower, give us some combat experience!"
"…"
Led by them, a group of heroes in standard black suits charged forward, yelling and swarming the Monster, making it seem like an insurance company's annual meeting was being held on site.
"The Fubuki Group… although they are a motley crew, their momentum is quite astonishing at first glance."
To the side, Han Sen watched with relish, drinking fruit tea and eating snacks.
Seeing that the situation was temporarily under control, he naturally wasn't in a hurry to act.
However…
With these guys' current excitement, like a team-building exercise, they were still underestimating the Monster before them too much.
Although the citizens who had just fled in a panic had gathered to cheer and watch despite the cold, Han Sen had already judged that relying on this group alone might be fine for blocking the Monster for a moment, but to kill or defeat it…
Almost impossible.
After all, this big cabbage, which looked like it was a vegetarian, actually had combat power close to that of an Demon-level Monster, and even if Hellish Blizzard, the leader of their Fubuki Group, made a move, she might not be able to retreat unscathed!
At this moment, the Fubuki Group, relying on their usual tacit cooperation, surrounded Frost Cabbage from all directions; the Monster seemed to have become a turtle in a jar.
Amidst the clacking of high heels on the ground, a beautiful, aloof black-stockinged older sister, dressed in a dark green tight-fitting hip-hugging long dress, parted the crowd and stood firm.
And elegantly floated up, enveloped in light blue Psychokinesis.
Her black long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her calves, encased in transparent black stockings, were long and alluring.
"Alright, the farce should end now."
With the light of her superpower rippling and spreading, the black-stockinged older sister's lips curved into a confident smile: "A mere mutated vegetable Monster, our Fubuki Group will personally take care of you!"
B-class Hero ranked 1st, Hellish Blizzard!
"Lady Blizzard!"
"Lady Blizzard is here!"
"Everyone, put in more effort, don't disgrace the Fubuki Group!"
"Die, Monster! We're going to win!"
"…"
Seeing Blizzard's appearance, the Fubuki Group members' morale soared, and their offensive became even more aggressive.
Hellish Blizzard's gaze swept over her subordinates who were fighting valiantly, and she nodded in satisfaction.
Then she looked at the Frost Cabbage, which was still lively despite being surrounded by everyone, with a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Witness the team power of our Fubuki Group! Let you, a rotten vegetable leaf, know what despair is!"
"Hehehehe… are you annoying flies done playing?!"
Frost Cabbage was somewhat disheveled from being besieged by the Fubuki Group; its body had shrunk significantly from constantly launching leaves, but it let out the signature laugh of a Soul Palace Elder.
The next moment, Frost Cabbage's shrunken body grew human limbs, and its originally slightly clumsy movements became incredibly agile and swift!
"What? This guy transformed!!"
"Oh no! Watch out for its attacks!"
Before the words finished, Eyelashes and Mountain Ape, who were at the very front, were successively sent flying by the Monster's heavy punches.
The transformed Cabbage Monster moved rapidly on the already icy road, and one by one, the spirited Fubuki Group members were punched far away, the scene momentarily resembling The Matrix!
"Hehehe! A bunch of useless trash!" Frost Cabbage cackled triumphantly, then suddenly plunged its remaining leafy arms into the ground!
"Frost Domain… expand!"
In an instant, centered on the Monster, an even more terrifying cold current erupted, spreading wildly in all directions!
The street, which had only been covered with thin ice, now completely transformed into a world of ice and snow!
Goose-feather-like snowflakes fell from the sky, visibility plummeted, and strong winds mixed with hail howled and raged!
Monster: Frost Cabbage
Disaster Level: Demon (Lower)
Under the enhancement of Frost Domain, Frost Cabbage was like a BOSS entering its second phase, reaching the level of an Demon-level Monster!
Especially its speed, after continuously shedding its outer leaves to reduce weight, reached an astonishing degree.
It transformed into blurred green afterimages in the snow, making it difficult to track its whereabouts!
The encirclement that the Fubuki Group had so painstakingly formed was instantly and completely shattered by this sudden change!
