"Hehehe. You humans are truly interesting."
Mosquito Girl exchanged blows with Genos, their figures clashing frantically.
"Incinerate!"
Flames condensed in Genos's palms, repeatedly blasting toward Mosquito Girl.
Swoosh!
With her agile movements, Mosquito Girl dodged at high speed and charged toward Genos.
An afterimage flickered by, and one of Genos's arms was ripped off.
"Hehehe. Next are your legs. Hmm?"
Just as Mosquito Girl was gloating, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking down, she saw that her own legs had been severed at some point and were now in Genos's hands.
"You won't escape my grasp."
Expressionlessly, Genos tossed aside Mosquito Girl's legs and condensed flames to blast her again.
Boom!
The flames were blocked by a swarm of mosquitoes, and Mosquito Girl's figure vanished once more.
"What is wrong with these guys? Even though the people in the city are hiding, the animals in the forest won't. Alright. Come to me."
Buzz...
Swarms of mosquitoes converged in the sky above Z-City, surrounding Mosquito Girl and forming a massive black sphere.
"There are so many of them? If she's allowed to collect blood over a wider area... I'd better finish this quickly."
Genos stared coldly at the black sphere in the sky as a figure approached him.
"Let's strike together and take her down. We can't let her integrate that blood."
King appeared beside Genos, a massive amount of fire condensing in his palm.
Spiral Incineration Cannon!
"Incinerate!"
Although Genos was somewhat surprised, seeing King attack the mosquito swarm, he no longer hesitated.
Two pillars of fire soared into the sky, engulfing the mosquito swarm above Z-City, but King did not relax in the slightest.
"Stop right there! We haven't settled our match yet!"
Just then, a voice came from behind them. A bald man was desperately chasing a single mosquito with a can of insecticide.
"It got in my mouth, ptoo... Damned bug! Huh? Kotaro, what are you doing here?"
Saitama looked at the two of them blankly, but his gaze was quickly drawn to the flames in the sky.
"Strange, it looks like something is moving inside."
"Hey, go find shelter! The nearby mosquito swarm has a collective consciousness. If they find us here, they'll attack immediately."
Genos patiently explained to Saitama, but King was in no mood to pay attention to that.
"Really? This is bad, we'd better run..."
"Hehehe."
Before Saitama could finish his sentence, a laugh rang out from the sky.
Genos looked at the now blood-red Mosquito Girl in disbelief, while King's expression turned solemn.
"I no longer need those children, for I am now powerful enough."
Boom!
With a casual wave of Mosquito Girl's hand, several high-rise buildings were leveled.
"How did she become so strong?!"
Before Genos could recover from his shock, Mosquito Girl was already in front of him.
Bang!
A single slash disemboweled Genos. Fortunately, he was a cyborg.
Before Genos could counterattack, he was sent flying by one of Mosquito Girl's claws.
Savage Tornado!
Boom!
King swung the Spiked Club in his hand, creating a tornado around him.
"Hehehe. Now I can have some real fun with you."
Mosquito Girl's eyes showed a mix of teasing and resentment. She hadn't forgotten the humiliation of fleeing from King before.
Swoosh!
A slash easily broke through the tornado. Then, a pair of sharp blades unleashed a frantic assault on King like a torrential storm.
Puff... Puff...
At this moment, King had no power to resist at all, only able to watch helplessly as his body was sliced to pieces.
"Damn it!"
Seeing King covered in blood, rage boiled within Genos as he lunged at Mosquito Girl.
"Hehehe. Fists like those can't kill a mosquito."
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Under the frantic assault of the blades, Genos's mechanical body was easily sliced apart, leaving him with no way to fight back.
"Kotaro, are you okay?"
Saitama approached King with a look of concern.
Although King was covered in blood, a closer look revealed that his wounds were healing at an incredible speed.
"I'm fine. You should help him first."
King nonchalantly wiped the blood from his face. He hadn't expected Mosquito Girl's strength to reach such a level after absorbing so much blood. She was likely even more powerful than the Dragon-level Vaccine Man from before.
Unfortunately, the Talent Trial Card he had randomly drawn this time didn't have a super powerful talent. Aside from energy detection being somewhat useful, the damage from Spiral Incineration Cannon was very limited.
"There's absolutely no chance of winning. My only option now is self-destruction. I'm sorry, Doctor."
Hum...
Energy converged within Genos's core.
Mosquito Girl dove straight down, launching a final blow on Genos.
At the critical moment, a palm slapped her right in the face.
Bang!
Mosquito Girl instantly turned into a spray of blood that filled the air, vanishing without a trace.
"What? This is..."
Genos was so shocked his jaw dropped, while King had disappeared at some unknown point.
"Mosquitoes... so noisy."
Having eliminated Mosquito Girl, Saitama was in a great mood and was about to turn and leave when a voice called out to him.
"Wait! Please take me as your student!"
"Huh?"
—
Putting Saitama and Genos aside, King activated energy detection and tracked Mosquito Girl's faint energy signature until he found her a hundred kilometres away.
'As expected of Saitama. A casual strike sent Mosquito Girl flying so far away. This girl is quite tough too, she's actually still alive after that.'
King looked at the dying Mosquito Girl. She no longer had her previous seductive appearance, her body was so withered that only a layer of skin remained. If one didn't look closely, they might have mistaken her for a crumpled blanket lying on the ground.
Boom!
Without hesitation, King ended Mosquito Girl's life with a single club strike.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Peak Demon-level Monster. Obtained 1,000 Talent Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining an S-Class Talent Trial Card.]
[S-Class Rank 10: Pig God. Talent: Inhuman Digestion. Skill: Devour. Talent usage limit: 10 times.]
'Was her strength still not Dragon-level?' King was somewhat exasperated.
If Mosquito Girl had been judged as Dragon-level, the talent points would have been significantly higher.
'At least I got an S-Class Talent Trial Card. Pig God's Inhuman Digestion and Devour, limited to ten uses. System, what's the use of this?'
It's not like he could just swallow an enemy whole during a fight. Your average monster wouldn't give him that chance.
[With Pig God's skill, Host can devour and digest any substance, subsequently converting it into his own power, and provides immunity to toxins.]
'Converting it into my own power... devouring any substance... then if I could devour a Dragon-level monster, wouldn't that mean...'
