Chapter 107 Supreme Monarch Ares?
"Hmm?" Muku made a confused sound while intently looking at the gang boss.
Which made the gang boss subconsciously take a step back. As if realising that he was embarrassed himself, he then took two steps forward in defiance. Even the women could see that he lacked confidence, which not only confused them but Muku as well since he didn't remember ever meeting such a person before.
"I'm sorry, but do I know you?" Muku asked, still trying to pinpoint where he could have possibly met such a large man. And he still couldn't think of anything no matter how much he thought; after all, such a large fellow would leave a significant impression, right?
"WHAT!?, AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ME YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO REMEMBER ME?? SO I WAS THAT MUCH OF A BUG IN YOUR EYES HUH?" The gang boss' boomed loudly in anger as if Muku had insulted his mother or something. It seems not being remembered really got to him.
"Again, I'm really sorry; a lot has been happening lately, so I hope you can understand. Plus I really don't remember ever meeting such a large fellow like you before... Are you sure it was me you met?" Muku tried to reason with the man. So what if he was scum he was going to kill in a bit, he wanted the clear up the situation before that, just for his own curiosity.
"Hehehe, oh right, I almost forgot. Last time we met, I didn't look like this. I guess I really was a little bug unworthy of you remembering me. Hmm, in fact, I might have to thank you because if you didn't do what you did and those assholes abandoned me afterwards, I wouldn't be here," the gang boss spoke, this time calmer, understanding that his appearance did change a lot.
Though even after his explanation, Muku still didn't know who he was. It was like one of those awkward moments you meet a random dude who seems to be super familiar with you but... You don't know who TF they are. To think it would persist into the apocalypse for Muku, how truly unlucky.
P.s...If you've never had such an encounter, then chances are, you were the encounter.
"Oh, you still don't remember me?. Well, whatever, I'm Mest; I used to be a highly regarded captain in this here safe zone at the beginning. Then you came along, and just because I wanted to do my duty by privately interrogating that grey-haired girl you brought for security reasons... You beat me up and left me with just an inch of my life. After that, not only did Tom, that bastard and the rest of the traitors help me, but they even tossed my half-dead self out of the safe zone to be eaten by beasts" As if sensing that Muku still didn't remember him, the gang boss...or Mest rather, patiently explained.
The more he talked the more confidence he gained. He was internally hyping himself up in the process. Telling himself that things were different now and Muku was likely only as strong as him at this point if not weaker. With such thoughts, how could he not regain some confidence? He was a bona fide 99% Half-step R2 Ape King Berserker after all. A rare class aeons ahead of his initial class in terms of strength.
If he knew, he might have left right then and there. He was fighting for them and they dare think him crazy!?. So what if his brain was feeling kinda quirky that day? Good damsels would never think of him negatively no matter what he does okay!?
"ROOAR!" Mest finally collected himself and continued with his attack. He jumped up in the air with his hands held up high. His end goal is obviously to squash Muku into meat-paste.
Sadly, things seldomly go the way we want them to...
"Okay, I'll play with you" Muku spoke with a little smile on his face as a silver armour with blue plate-like spikes sticking out the back of them. A helmet that was shaped like a lizard's head and an unnecessary tail to boot. The same plate-like spikes on the helmet and tail. Clearly, trying to mock Mest, which succeeds as the anger in Mest's eyes intensifies. How could it not? The bastard was wearing armour somewhat reminiscent of Godzilla!
Bang!
Boom!
Although it might seem to have taken some time for Muku to put on the armour. It actually only happened within two seconds. Which not only left him with enough time to react to Mest's attack but to even take the initiative.
Which he did as he lunged toward and punched Mest in the chest sending the large ape crushing into the terrace.
"Hehe, we all know how this battle ended don't we?" Muku taunted while floating in the air, going toward Mest, who was trying to get up. Of course, Muku could fly using his telekinesis; he just never had the reason to. Even now, he was mostly doing it for fun.
As Mest tried getting up, there was nothing but shock in his eyes. The previous anger was long gone. How was this bastard Muku so still so strong compared to him!? And was the taunt about knowing how the battle ends necessary? Also, if he's gonna dress up like Godzilla to mock him can he at least not freaking fly!! How's that fair?? When did Godzilla learn how to fly??
