A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

"A quick draw slash!!"

The exceptionally sharp slashes, combined with the incredibly powerful shouts, made it seem as if even a piece of steel standing in front of them would be cleaved in two with a single blow!

However, the frozen fish monster that sensed the attack merely turned its head and glanced at it.

The human and the fish locked eyes. One had a firm gaze, filled with a determination to kill; the other had the classic dead fish eyes, full of wisdom.

(?_?)

(。 _ 。)

The former's art style was completely overshadowed by the latter, and "Iaian" suddenly had a bad feeling.

When~~——

The frozen fish sword, which had fallen seemingly out of nowhere, easily blocked his sure-fire sword strike. Then, the frozen fish monster grinned and raised his other hand, bringing down a nearly two-meter-long sword that carried a chilling aura!

boom!

The ground was cleaved open by the slash, creating a crack dozens of meters long. "Iaian," who had dodged ahead of time, stood on the collapsed fish stall roof, panting heavily.

—This weirdo is incredibly strong! His reaction speed and strength... he's at least at the Demon level!!

Having grown accustomed to his master "Atomic Samurai's" battles, "Iaian's" vision, like his hero ranking, is among the best of the A-class heroes.

Once they clashed, they immediately determined the enemy's combat strength level. What their master could easily defeat with a toothpick was a mountain that they could only climb by going all out!

—When facing a monster of this caliber, any attempt at a quick victory is basically out of the question!

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Iaian's forehead as he quickly adjusted his established battle strategy.

—No matter what, we must hold out until Qiu Wu and Zuan Tou have evacuated all the civilians!

Only if the three of them work together can they have even a sliver of hope of winning!

As his thoughts drifted, he couldn't help but glance at the two people not far away who were helping civilians evacuate.

The next second, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that the spot where the frozen fish monster was had become completely empty!

A chilling, intense cold blew from head to toe, causing Iaian's body to stiffen abruptly. A hoarse, piercing voice rang out above him.

"Being distracted in battle is a death sentence! Didn't your master teach you such a simple principle?"

"Die! Muhahahaha!!"

Chapter 183 Instant Kill

The heavy, frozen fish-shaped battle blade slashed down like a dark cloud, carrying a biting chill!

Clang——

In the critical moment, the long sword in Iai-an's hand had been sheathed without anyone noticing.

Ignoring the whistling sound overhead, he kept his eyes closed, seemingly relying entirely on his senses to pinpoint the location of the monster's attack!

"Iai!!"

A cry of "Qiu Wu Taisho!" came from not far away. In an instant, a blinding light appeared, and a long sword with a clanging sound flashed out like lightning. The sword light, as fast as thunder, was as dazzling as a shooting star!

"Iaijutsu!"

The foul-smelling, icy blue blood dripped down, instantly freezing into hexagonal prism-shaped ice flowers on the ground. A thick arm, tightly gripping a huge frozen fish, was thrown high into the air, only to crash into the ruins of the shop with a loud bang three seconds later.

"...Huh, what's going on?"

The Frozen Fish Monster tried to swing its right hand, but its severed arm below the shoulder was nowhere to be found. Suddenly losing its balance, it stumbled and fell to the ground.

--Chance!!

The raised longsword flashed like lightning, slashing towards the human neck, a clear weakness of the frozen fish monster. However, a second before the strike was completed, the fallen monster suddenly launched a blur-like kick, striking "Iaian" in the abdomen.

The steel armor suddenly dented, and he was almost folded in half. The monster's counterattack kicked him, breaking several pillars, and sending him flying.

"Iai-an" turned in mid-air, and a hero landed on his knees to absorb the impact.

Seeing the strange man who had already stood up, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and pound the ground in frustration: "Cough cough, damn it, just a little bit more!"

"Hahaha, what a pity, just a little short!"

The Frozen Fish Monster laughed wildly as it walked through the ruins and picked up its severed arm.

The human arm that was gripping the frozen fish sword tightly seemed to be some kind of strange living thing. As it approached the severed part of the original arm, wriggling flesh sprouted from the cut surface and eagerly reattached itself.

"Not bad! Just like new! Hahahaha!!"

The entire process took less than five seconds. The frozen fish monster had already begun to move its right shoulder, forearm, wrist, and even fingers. Such terrifying vitality made Iaian's amazing slash that saved him from death seem like a joke.

"How, how is it possible!"

not far away.

On a telephone pole that survived the monster disaster, a samurai stands steadily with a large toothpick in his mouth and a red cloak tied behind him.

"Are you just going to give up already, Iai..."

Seeing his disciple pounding the ground in frustration, "Atomic Samurai" lowered his gaze and firmly gripped the hilt of his sword with his left hand.

"To be unable to handle such a small setback is unlike my disciple!"

As if hearing his master's whisper, "Iaian" was discouraged for less than three seconds before he rallied and stood up again.

"Huh, can you still stand up?"

The Frozen Fish Monster brandished two enormous frozen fish swords and strode rapidly toward them.

"It was just a missed opportunity to win."

"Iaian" took off his helmet and threw it aside, revealing short blond hair and a young face with unwavering determination.

"If we can sever it the first time, we can sever it the second time!"

"What a joke! How could I possibly give you a second chance?!"

"Die, you bastard!!!"

clang clang clang!!

The disproportionate weapons clashed one after another. Although Iaian was not superior in strength, his skills and agility after resolving his inner conflict were far superior to before!

Using the force of the frozen fish monster's slash, he suddenly retreated, leaping over the high wall behind him to reach the monster's back, and unleashed a powerful slash that split mountains and shattered rocks!

"Ahhh-"

"Damn it! How dare they hurt me time and time again!!"

A deep, bone-revealing knife wound ripped open from the back of the frozen fish monster's head to his back, and icy blood gushed out relentlessly, almost dyeing half of his body a deep, ice-sculpted blue, emanating a dense chill from the surroundings.

"Ah……"

On the telephone pole, "Atomic Samurai" looked at "Iaian" who had regained his composure and couldn't help but chuckle: "That's more like it!"

"Iaian" glanced at his bluish hands, his gaze solemn.

—Ouch, it's so cold! I still need to aim for a one-hit kill, otherwise my hands might be so frostbitten that I won't be able to hold the sword before the battle ends!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shout, "Qiu Wu! Drill! Are you done yet?!"

The calls of their companions could be heard in the distance.

"I'm coming!"

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I'm coming right away!!"

The Frozen Fish Monster's chilling laughter faltered, and he roared angrily, "Despicable! You call for backup in a one-on-one man's battle!"

"You're a weirdo! You're not a normal man."

Iaian didn't take it seriously, easily parrying and dodging the Frozen Fish Monster's continuous frenzied slashes. He found an opportunity to flip back and retreat. He glanced at the Samurai Drill, who had been cleaved away but landed steadily. Feeling a little more at ease, he and his companions completed the encirclement.

"The battle has only just begun!!"

"Iaian" sheathed his sword, his eyes gleaming, and he looked spirited and energetic.

"Qiu Wu, use 'Flying Sword' to restrict its movement! Drill, you follow me and look for an opportunity from the flank!"

"understand!"

"understood!"

In the distance, the corners of "Atomic Samurai's" mouth curved upwards even further: "As expected of my disciples, come on, let me see how much you've grown... Hmm? What's that?"

The three combined their auras, becoming one, and subtly locked onto the Demon-level Frozen Fish Monster. "Iaian" gripped the sword hilt in his hand, feeling that every cell in his body was in an excellent state, ready to unleash a strike at his peak at any moment!

"We're going to go...? Wait, what's that...?"

prick--

Two blinding golden laser beams swept across the ground in the blink of an eye, and the frozen fish monster in the laser's path froze: "What...what is that?"

Clang, clang!

Two frozen fish-shaped swords fell first, followed by the tall, monstrous body crashing to the ground, splitting into two identical halves upon impact!

The frigid blue blood burst through the carbonized and congealed wound, freezing the two sides of the monster's corpse into two crystal-clear, deep blue ice sculptures.
