Martial Arts System - Chapter 421

*CRASH*

The muscular monster crashed through the front entrance of the Police Station.

While looking around, its head moved with robotic movement, and soon, the reason for it was found.

Around the neck, the skin was cracked, and lightning crackled.

The skin was bit by bit rupturing, almost looking like the skin was made of stone that was slowly fading away.

The Monster Puppet screamed towards the helicopter and sprinted into the empty streets.

Around him, the flashing of red and blue lights made the Monster Puppet’s vision turn from red to blue and from blue to red.

”GRAH!” Its voice was hoarse and distorting. However, his voice started slowly resembling Humans.

In the helicopter.

The news anchor paled and, with a shaky hand, grabbed the microphone, ”S-Someone appeared from the Police Station!”

The camera shifted away from the police station and captured the running figure of the Monster Puppet.

The citizens who watched paled.

Everyone was thinking, what the hell was he?”

Was he Human?

One thing they were sure of, the muscular person was the culprit of the destruction around him.

Soon after, another explosion rang in the police station.

The camera shifted to capture the explosion, and everyone witnessed how dark-clothed, whose face was obscure, jumping through a destroyed window and landed right in front of the running Monster Puppet.

Everyone widened their eyes in amazement after witnessing the incredible athleticism.

Also, the dark-clothed figure looked much more like a Human in their eyes, which made them think almost by instinct that he was on their side.

The Monster Puppet stopped; however, his posture was a mess and he was vulnerable to future attacks.

Ichiro’s feet left the ground and on the air; he spun around and, with his heel, struck the Monster Puppet in the temple.

*CRACK!*

The Monster Puppet crashed down on the ground with a hole in his temple!

The news anchor and everyone who witnessed the scene were utterly amazed.

In the Kurogami Residence.

Alena facepalmed, ”Always…”

Azumi, Eiji, and Ayako watched the TV without recognizing the dark-clothed figure.

Azura’s heart at first became rapid, almost bursting out of her chest; however, that soon calmed down, and she managed to take control of her actions.

In the helicopter.

The News Anchor wiped his excess sweat and started commenting on the things he saw, ”Someone, I don’t know who, had appeared and seems to be fighting against the… Alien of some sort!”

The pilot of the helicopter was sweating buckets. Balancing the helicopter between buildings was already hard enough, but now he must be careful not to get attacked by the monster below.

”UGH!” The Monster Puppet slammed his ballooned fist to the ground.

*CRACK!*

The surrounding area shook with the crack on the ground slowly creeping closer to the buildings.

Ichiro was sent flying after the sudden aftermath; however, in the air, he did a quick backflip and landed on his two feet, with the crack only a meter away from him.

His figure moved like a speedster who was trying to break the speed barrier.

Once he arrived in front of the enormous figure, his punch landed on the chest, which looked powerful, but no apparent damage was visible.

The Monster Puppet swung its arm down; however, Ichiro had already appeared behind him and landed another solid hit on the place where the spinal cord should be.

Instead of hitting the spinal cord, he felt like he was hitting a metal piece.

”Grh!” A grimace sound left his mouth, and with a corner of his eyes, he noticed an arm reaching out to him.

Ichiro tried to move out of the way. However, the Monster Puppet’s fingers managed to scratch him.

*SPURT!*

From the forearm all the way to the shoulder, a shallow cut appeared, which was dripping blood bit by bit.

Drops of blood dripped down on the destroyed ground, the sound of splashing echoing in the red night.

”H!” The Monster Puppet reeled in his explosive fist and punched right in front of him with his red ”eyes” glowing in the color of blood.

”True Iron Style, Steel Edge.” With a side of his hand, he deflected the punch away. However, the Monster Puppet had learned his lessons and sent a beam of the laser without any delay.

Ichiro ducked and felt the warm laser brushing past his hair, even burning a few strands.

”GRAH!” The Monster Puppet looked enraged and moved his head side to side, sending laser beams everywhere.

Buildings were cut in half.

The ground was split.

Screams of citizens echoed far away.

Inside the helicopter, the News Anchor witnessed the whole thing.

His lips trembled as he tried to utter his words, ”E-E-Everyone… H-H-H-He somehow sent beams of lasers from his e-eyes… A-An ability which is u-used by M-M-Martial Kings!”

The citizens watching the TV paled, and it didn’t take long for many of the households to be filled in panic.

Inside Quinthold Residence.

Lucas’ family had already packed. However, they can’t leave yet.

They were gathered around the living room while the TV screen showed the destruction unfolding.

Lucas’s hand trembled, which he desperately tried to stop, ‘So strong… Will I be able ever to reach that level?’

Back in the match.

The Monster Puppet’s eyes stopped glowing, and the laser beam disappeared into nothingness.

”Grah?” He looked down and came face-to-face with a fist!

*BOOM!*

The fist destroyed the skin of the face and even reached the interior.

Ichiro grabbed everything he could and ripped the wires, disconnecting them from the Monster Puppet.

The Monster Puppet flinched and stopped moving in a human-like manner.

Instead, very robotic movements.

”G…” Its voice died down, becoming inaudible.

‘I broke his voice system…’ Ichiro’s right hand looked like a mighty lance that could kill gods, slaughter demons, and demolish monsters.

‘Now it’s time to break him!’

Every ear pair in Irio heard the siren stopping.

The flashing red and blue lights disappeared, and the dark night returned.

Irio became silent, the screams disappeared, and the roars of beasts were gone.

Only one voice was heard in the dark night.

A voice of a young man.

”True Iron Style, Iron Lance’s Resolution!”

*CRACK!*

*SWOOSH*

*CRASH!*

With one slash of his hand, the last remaining arm of the Monster Puppet… Got separated!

The muscular arm flew through the air and landed on the ground; however, it wasn’t the end.

The arm started crackling in lightning, and once a flicker of fire appeared, it exploded!

*BOOM!*
