Chapter 4. The Power of King (II)
Obviously facing horde of Grimm is more harder than the bandits moment ago
It not because they're more durable or stronger -well some Grimm did, such as the Goliath and major Grimm- than the bandits, such thing is not matter for him since Meruem still able to overpower them, and it also not because their number is two or possible three times more than the bandits
No, it because the Grimm doesn't know fear
Meruem truly doubt that Grimm capable to feel fear, wariness? Yes, they could be, but fear? No. He don't think so. They're not living being, probably more like a machine or drone to be honest. True they do have some sentient but the capability to feel emotion? No
His reasoning and guess come from Volume 4, when the Beowolf summoned by Salem and they used as practice doll for Cinder or venting frustration by Tyrian. They're more like a drone, they capable to learn, know what dangerous and also sometime prioritize their own survival but emotions? No
And because of that when he facing the Grimm, they did not come him one by one or make calculation. No, they come in swarm, as in like zombies in Left 4 Dead when they heard siren
They have no fear, no strategy, no care for their own life
And with their numbers that overwhelming? It is not surprise for him
Which is why fighting against swarm is very troublesome, and if one not careful, even those who stronger than them can be beaten
Meruem blurred in the ruined village, hopping from one place to another, his fist lashed and meet the Ursa that coming for him and he blow the Grimm away with his raw strength
At the same time his tail also moving, aware that the Grimm will assault his back the moment he landed attack even in less than second, the extra appendage lashed at the incoming three Beowolf, the stinger slice them into two without much effort
After that Meruem moved again, hopping once more, his En allow him to see there attack coming the moment he jumped in form of Boarbatusk that rolling and spinning toward him. The Chimera Ant waste no time and spun once before extended his leg, delivering spinning kick
His kick meet the Boarbatusk that rolling head on. It was a bit comical sight actually seeing the Grimm is bigger than him and yet his attack manage to completely stop the Boarbatusk's assault. There's momentary pause between them in less than second, a sign of struggle between the two force but Meruem's strength proved to be superior in the end
The Chimera Ant sent the Grimm that rolling at him back to wherever it come from, with enough force to make it crash to another group of Grimm and pulverize them in instant, crushing the creature of darkness with ease
However that pause, even only for a second, leave him open as he is in air and has no proper footing. It wouldn't matter if he facing group of Human to be honest, he have his tail, something that very useful and can be used to cover his back. Heck, his tail even strong enough to bisect Grimm body entirely!
But it different matter if the Grimm that attacking is at size of dinosaurs
A giant stone that enough to fit his whole body smashed to him with force that capable to destroy small house, sending the Chimera Ant crashed to the ground in rough manner
Meruem clicked his tongue in distaste as he shook away the dirt that covering him, it wasn't hurt -okay it was a bit hurt but that much- enough to make him laying in ground while moaning in pain. He push himself to stand and sense the Grimm approach him, he waste no time to jump and avoid group of Creep that trying to swarm him
This time when he jump it wasn't Boarbatusk that coming but Beringel who have it fist already in middle of way to hit him. It was fortunate that Meruem already sense it coming and thus when he jumped, Chimera Ant also already prepare to move as well
He twist his body, allowing the fist to past soar him then with flash, he grab the giant Gorilla Grimm's arm and push. He push himself, moving in air and bring the Beringel with him then slam him to the ground, on top of Creep that trying to overwhelm him seconds ago
Then with powerful yank, he rip apart the Grimm's hand mercilessly before throw it to Ursa that coming for him. He use the corpse that started to dissipate as footing and began to hop around once again, with fist extended that connected to Beowolf's face that jumped at him, sending it flying to somewhere else
He landed in the ground before quickly spin, his leg moved and just in time meet a boulder of rock at the size of his own body and shattering it into pieces without much effort
The former Human eyes narrowed slightly as he study his new opponent that towering over him
It was big, compared to other Grimm this one is the biggest, and his body also not made of black. Instead it was made by a rocks, giant boulder that somehow connected to each other almost like a puzzle, and in middle of the largest rock is white bony mask with single yellow eye
'Geist huh?' Meruem thought as he recall the rock fist that hit him moment ago. He quickly jumped and avoid the rock fist that pulverize the ground where he was and some poor Grimm
Troublesome opponent giving it durability, however the Chimera Ant knew the Grimm weakness already and with his speed...
He hopped to one of the Grimm limb, then he run on top of it for two seconds before used it as footing and lunge at the Grimm's face
The Geist brought up it rock hand to cover it vital area
Useless act
The former human body briefly glowing with dark purple blue tinted aura, and without hesitation he spun and deliver toe kick to the rocky limb and destroyed it into pieces as well as if the rock made from twigs
His hand quickly lashed out, the four fingers curled into claw motion and Meruem thrust it forward into the face of the Geist directly, piercing the Grimm's mask and sunk deeply onto it like a finger dipped into lake
The whole giant body of the Geist twitched hardly once before it goes stiff, then the rocks that connected to each other started to fall one by one, like a pieces of glass that broken
Meruem pull out his hand from the dead Grimm and then hopped back to the ground 'Well, that wasn't so hard.' He thought
As if responding to his taunt, not even a second he back to the land, he sense an attack coming and he immediately spun, both arms spread with palm open, just in time to grab the tusk of adult Boarbatusk that charging at him. The strength of the Grimm will be more than enough to allow it to destroy woods, wall of rocks and cement even as if they're made from fragile material
And yet, Meruem didn't budge, he didn't even move an inch from where he stand as he hold the Grimm's tusk, preventing the boar-like dark creature from moving
Then without any words, Meruem lift the Grimm, he spin and put strength to his hands before throw the Boarbatusk to above, make it soar and hit giant Nevermore that flying above him, knocking the bird-like Grimm down
That thing already above from the beginning and raining feathers to him when he not move much to his irk, even when there is another Grimm close to him it didn't care. Well, seeing many Grimm have armor cover their backs they not injured pretty much from the feathers. Same thing can be said to him, the feather did not able to pierce his body, but it did make him stagger a bit much to his annoyance
He jumped, just in time to avoid Deathstalker's pinch that almost grab him, he use it as hopping ground and land to the Grimm's head before he bend down slightly and jump upward
'Too much power!'
That was what Meruem thought as he crashed to the Nevermore who just regain it balance after got hit by Boarbatusk he thrown moment ago, making it let out indignant squawk that resemble sound of pain
Meanwhile the Chimera Ant trying -and thankfully succeeded- to fix his posture. His accelerated mind aware that he is about twenty meters in sky and if he fall in improper way he would get swarmed by Grimm. He quickly move his tail and wrapped the appendage to the talon of the Nevermore
He tighten his grip to the Grimm's limb before pull himself as strong as he could, launching his body to the Nevermore head, his finger joined together in chop style and he thrust it forward
The hand pierce through the giant Nevermore's neck like a knife struck cake, meeting only small resistance that not bother Meruem very much. What bother is the Grimm dying shriek since he is very close to it head
He swiftly move his hand horizontally, chopping the Grimm's neck and decapitate it before it make anymore noise and the giant bird-like creature stopped flapping it wings and started to go down
Meruem spun, his hand grabbed the Grimm's dead body that started to dissipated as they going down together. He have small time and need to make quick decision. Briefly he wondered to hop to another Nevermore but after his first jump that ended rather poorly he not confident he will hit his target
Which mean he only have one option
'Going down it is then.'
He uses Nen and started to shroud himself, his eyes scanning the ground beneath him as fast as possible to find any space or Grimm he can use as landing place
He found one
Without hesitation, he kick the Grimm's corpse as strong as he could while enhanced by his Nen and soar down from the sky, the dark purple with blue tinted aura that flaring around him make his descend like a falling stars that come down to Remnant for a moment
He did not try to use his fist, at speed he come down, he did not believe he will be able to deliver proper punch, he maybe powerful but all of them is still only a basic. However using his feet to trample? That was not hard thing to do
The poor Deathstalker that he choose as landing place did not buckled or fall the moment Meruem arrive. No, it torn apart into pieces and splattered everywhere, as if a meteor just dropped on top of it
The result of Meruem's landing not end in there, the sheer strength he possess enough to make the ground beneath him split into crater, sending pieces of debris and earth to everywhere, blasting the Grimm near him and also creating small earthquake to his surrounding
'This already long enough.'
Fighting against swarm is hard, however if one possess strength and durability that make you able shake off those who intent to grab you, it become more simple
Keep moving
The former human strategy is simple, the Grimm cannot harm him by themselves, even if there is pack of them that coming it can't do anything. His strength able to overwhelm them, his exoskeleton armor not even scratched by their claws, and he is faster than those Grimm
As long as he keep moving and attacking at same time, he have nothing to fear, in the end the swarm will meet their demise, little by little, one by one, until nothing of them left
Except after he done there will be no village anymore
Yeah, no, he can't have that to happen. It was one thing if there is no more survivor but there are, and he counted at least there thirty of them. Right now only few buildings that can be used for place to live, if he keep continue there will be none
He already killed more than fifty Grimm for fuck sake! And their numbers doesn't look diminishing at all!
It make him remember the explanation about Grimm in World of Remnant, some village that assaulted by Grimm even if have proper guard still not free from danger, because if they're panic it will led more Grimm into them
And this village have a lot of negativity isn't it?
He need to end this quick, now before it become more troublesome
He choose this particular place -and Grimm- as landing ground not without reason, this place is the one that has no Grimm swarm over it -not yet at least- and behind him also the area of village that less damaged and where the remnant of villager currently hiding
He already making plan ever since he jumped at the Nevermore and took glance of the village condition, searching for the right one, calculating and contemplating the chance of their success
Normally such thing is not possible, he was busy while fighting after all, and one wrong move he will be swarmed by Grimm
But he still able to do so
His intellect already far surpassing human's brain, he make plan and think faster, everything was clearer, he can even make some kind of simulation inside his head very fast
Strength that able to squash men like a bug, durability that even capable to survive blast that equal to fallen stars impact, and keen mind that work like super computer
This is the power he gain, the power of being who stand as pinnacle of evolution of his kin, power of being who has been nurtured for very long time and shaped through many hardship
Being who stand by result of boon of total support of his species, birthed with intention to become ruler of all organism in the World
The Power of King
So what his plan to deal with the horde? It also simple
Use an attack that able to wipe majority of them in move move
'Gyo, ability to focus aura to specific part of body. Ten is used to prevent it from dispersing. Ren is used to increase the aura number further.'
The principle to use Ko or Temper. It is said to be a pure offensive technique in Nen, many of Nen user has their Ko related to their abilities. Originally it has four steps, Gyo, Ten, Ren, and Zetsu. However Meruem didn't need Zetsu, it is used to maintain aura so they not spread to whole body after all, used so one can save their aura and not exhaust themselves
Meruem doesn't need it because he have a lot of them
So he call upon his aura, all of them, and they answer his call
They poured out of his body like a torrent, wrapping around his frame like a second skin, their colors are purple almost like a flower that tinted with blue
They swirling and waving before they blared, like a titan that unleashed from tartarus they roar, they raise to the sky like a pillar of heaven, piercing the cloud and banish the shadow that cast by them, letting sunlight illuminate the village
The ground beneath him cracked under pressure of his life-force and the Chimera Ant prepared his right fist. The flow of energy that blazing around him is bright but they all are nothing compared to the one in his fist, it almost like a moon that exist in middle of stars, a bright lamp among the candle
The swarm of Grimm already moved ever since Meruem landed, they got delayed due to the distance and the imbalance ground that splintered from Meruem's landing that like a fallen stars however it just a small matter. The swarm was return and ready to engulf him after ten seconds
It was all the time that Meruem need
The former human in body of King of Chimera Ant pulled his arm back, cocking it, as his determined eyes remained locked onto the swarm of darkness that threaten to engulf him alive
"RAAAAA-," Meruem roared in sound that not unlike beast as he stepped forward, his foot burying itself deep into the already cracked ground and shattering it further with the force "-AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!"
He threw his punch-
And space distorted with it's passing
The ruined village was drowned out with the sound of howling wind as the air before his punch rippled, sending a shockwave of violet colored force hurling forward to the darkness that coming for him and destroy anything that stood on it path
Then they clashed.
It was not even a contest
The shockwave of the Chimera Ant attack strike the sea of darkness that stretched across the horizon, and tore into it, roaring through the darkness so far and blowing all of them away like a pack of ants scattered by Human's breath, leaving behind a gaping wound in there and the village
And the King stood proud after delivering his attack, his back straightened and he see what his power bring to his enemy
Destruction
The number of Grimm in original was fifty, and after he fought against them for half hour they increased become seventy -and he already killed a lot of them- instead of reduced. If one look from far they would mistake them as a tidal wave perhaps, a dark and black tidal wave
But after his attack? They're no longer visible
The one that look like sea of darkness now is nothing but a splinter, like a multiple dots that exist in white paper -or village in this case
Apparently that attack not wipe all of the Grimm out, there's still few that survive apparently, he counted at least there ten but even so it obviously they all also affected by his attack judging by how they limping and sprawling in the... In the...
Meruem take a better view of the result from his attack and he sweated, like actually sweated
The area of the ruined village... If it still could be called that... Ruined wouldn't do a justice, annihilated would. Because the way he saw it right now? It as if the whole village served in plate, then a spoon come and scoop up the ruined area, completely slice it clean, leaving nothing but damaged land in there
'Well... They probably won't live here anymore so...'
The village is too damaged and majority of it people has been killed. They probably going to Mistral or somewhere else to live after this when the Huntsmen come so it shouldn't be that much of problem right? It to kill all the Grimm that coming after all!
He broke out from his attempt to reassure himself when he feel throbbing pain to his hand and followed by exhaustion that tightened his chest
It was the first time he feeling those sensation ever since he arrive in the Remnant. Even when he trained endlessly for hours to adjust himself with his body or rained by barrage of bullets and swords, and they all didn't do a thing to him, not even give speck of fatigue or pain
But this?
Meruem stabled his breath -drawing from mouth and exhale it through nose- so he not fell to knee and gasping for air, he take a glance to his right arm and found it was bad. There's many wounds in there -he found himself stared at the dark blue liquid that supposed to be his blood for a second- from upper to lower part. It as if his arm was just stuck into a mixer. The torn and wounds was shallow, yes, but it doesn't change the fact it still look quite bad
And it also doesn't change that it was fucking hurt!
Well he shouldn't expect any less to be honest. What he did was something new after all, he using power that he still not mastered or can control properly. Frankly, he should count it lucky his arm did not blasted off as well
It was Emission -technique to separate their aura from their body and use it as offense move- ability that still incomplete, it only succeed frankly because he have a lot of aura inside him if not then that technique won't come out
Nonetheless he can't stop now, not yet, things still not finished, the Grimm still there, even if only few remain. He refuse to let his guard down, he refuse to appear look weak, he refuse to be forced to kneel by those insignificant puppets!
So he stand firm, he call upon his Nen once again and let it tainted the space around him, he feel his reserve has decreased drastically but he still have a lot of them. He force his injured hand to move and curled into fist once again while taking stance
The Grimm that remain -only nine of them, three Ursa, two Creep, a single Beowolf, a single Boarbatusk, and two Nevermore- observing their enemy that still stand and ready to move. Their flame-like eyes glowering at the Chimera Ant who glaring back at them
Then they began to move back
Grimm incapable to feeling fear, but it doesn't mean they did not prioritize their own live. They know when things was too much for them, too risky to be continued. Some battle should be left alone and not bothered. This is why Grimm hardly attack any animals or bother their territories after all
Few Grimm might be stupid enough but to those who experienced aware of this but all the Grimm who come here has leader, there Alpha that led them, they has experience in fighting. And all of their leader has died, slaughtered by this single being
Oh, they aware that this being is injured but the aura he radiate... It was a lot and still dense... They cannot win against this being no matter what
So they chose to retreat, knowing this is losing battle, they have no choice to go back
And return later
Unfortunately Meruem has no intention to let them go as he jumped at nearest Grimm
It was over in less than minute
Two Hours Later
Stockberry Village originally have more than hundred population. The village itself is actually not big but it is quite crowded due to shops that open in there since it can be said as one of Huntsmen resting place
But after the assault only twenty four people left. Consisting of eleven adult which have four men and seven women, eight teenager which is two male and four female, and five children which is two male and three female
Make it twenty five with the baby that Wendy's have
Of hundreds -possibly two or three even- only twenty five remain
Meruem didn't know what to say truly, it was pretty dark and bleak situation to be honest and he did feel sad for them but...
It wasn't as much as it should be...
Even when he killed those bandits and toss their bodies like a broken toys, he did not feel any remorse or disgust in slightest
So here he now, sitting in at the roof of one of the building that remain, with one leg raised and supporting his crossed arm, and the other crossed, a similar style that his predecessor always uses when sitting
In front of him stood the first woman that he rescued, daughter of the village chief, Wendy
"So how is it?" Meruem asked
"Well..." Wendy licked her lips, she appear to be nervous, albeit not as much as when they first met "There isn't much of good news..."
After the last Grimm slain and Meruem make sure none will come again he goes to the villager and inform them it was safe to come out
The village did not celebrate or look happy at all when they go out and that was to be expected. Even if they survive but it doesn't change that they loss a lot. The place where they live, their money, their friends, their brother or sister, their mother or father, almost everything
"What should we do now?"
Wendy had asked that to him as she also appear to be lost, no doubt she was also in grief from her father demise. Poor girl, she is the village chief daughter, her father was dead and now it become her responsibility
Seeing that it won't do any harm -and it will give him something a lot as matter of fact- he decide to lent her hand further. He instruct the villager that they will stay in here until Huntsmen that patrolling come and help them, it is no use to get out since part of this place still can be used after all, not to mention if they go out it will make them vulnerable to bandits or Grimm once more
"Anything that good is better than nothing now." Meruem commented
After he told the villager to stay in this place, he told them to search for foods and anything that can be used. Some complained that they want to rest or tired but he didn't care, those who tired so much can rest but those who don't better start working, the sooner they finished, the better their rest would be
"The bandit took money and our foods but not all of them, true we loss very much but at least there still few that remain." Wendy said "We also manage to find houses that still good enough to be used for resting, and they also close to each other so..."
"That was good." Meruem grunted. He already told the village how he had method to detect them and they will be safe as long as they not go out from the village, however even with the range of his En that quite far it still would be easier to monitor them if the villager stick close together "What else?"
Wendy about to speak further but she paused, her eyes drifted down to Meruem's right arm and the former human notice it
"I'm fine." He said calmly
"Sir Meruem, with all respect, your arm look like a metal that put stuck inside mixer." She replied with hint of concern in her voice
Meruem quirked his eyes "You not need to worry, my arm won't fall off or something like that." He stated "Now tell me the rest." He ordered
He is not completely lie or honest in truth. It was hurt, like really hurt, not to mention it was itchy as well. However it not that bad despite how grotesque it looks. It almost like skin that got irritated if put in comparison
Wendy took another look at his arm, she seems want to say something more but decide to continue her report "We are in quite predicament, the foods is... While there still few remain untaken but I'm afraid it won't be enough for all of us in next two days.
"The Huntsmen that patrol usually come once per week and that was three days ago, our CCT tower branch for this village is also damaged, and none of us know how to repair it."
"That will left us with two days without food." Meruem rubbed his chin with his uninjured arm "How about the water and drink? Like tea or milk?"
"Clean water is also limited. The electric was cut off due to the chaos and the dust machine that used as generator mostly is damaged so..." Wendy trailed and let the message sunk "As for that kind of drink." She look confused for a moment before continuing "There is not many of them but their numbers still a lot more than the food."
Clean water... Well that was clearly problem. People can live without food for a week or so but they will die without water for three days. Though in here it would only be two days and perhaps it won't be without water completely but still...
It will make people unhappy and that kind of emotion could attract Grimm once again. Something that Meruem don't want to no matter how good punching bad they are since it another matter if he have people to protect
"Can we cook the raw water and drink them? It won't be healthy drinking them in long term but I think it would be fine for now."
Wendy's eyes brightened "Yes, that was not impossible, we can do that!"
"And consume the foods regularly with milk and tea as well, it will make people feeling full easier, reducing the amount of food they eat."
There is no need to eat until full to be honest, as long the body have proper food and drink in their stomach, true at first few will still feel hungry but that will be satisfy with time after their stomach digest them
"Brilliant idea! Yes, with that we can save the food more!" Wendy said with nod "You're really very smart sir Meruem."
"It just a common sense." Meruem replied blankly
And it was true, all his suggestion and idea is common things. These people probably not think about it because they're too much in grief and caught in their own inner turmoil
Really, it just common sense, nothing much
Somewhere across the universe a certain man in body of blond haired king that in middle of lecturing certain silver haired half-elf suddenly sneezed
"Then I will need too recount the foods, water, and other drink as well to know how much they would last." Wendy murmured
"You do that." Meruem grunted "By the way, do you have any trouble in eating crows or something like that?"
"Hm? No, we don't." Wendy answer while blinking in puzzled manner
"I see... Then what about the dead bodies? Are you all going to make proper burial?"
Wendy bit her lips at that question. Truthfully they don't know what to do about the dead bodies. They still not thinking that far yet, many still trying to comprehend what actually happened and caught in their own mind
"We... We still didn't think about it." She muttered "Some of us still..."
"I see..." Meruem can understand why, everything happen so fast after all "At least decide it tonight whether we should bury or burn them."
"B-Burn?" Wendy asked with shock, taken back by the brutal method
"It's barbarian and unusual, but we can't left the corpse behind, they will decay and can bring illness, they also make uncomfortable smell." He reasoned "Beside, burning body in some culture also can be said a sign of burial. By burning them, people believe their spirit released from their bodies and thus go free to the World, their spirits will watching those who care to them after that."
Wendy put thoughtful and complicated expression after hearing that explanation. What kind of culture is that? To burn the dead body of someone you know?
And yet for some reason there is small logic behind that tale. Like spirit that goes out and released from their bodies...
"I... I will talk about this to other." Wendy said after moment of silence
Meanwhile Meruem internally sweatdropped at the response. You should rejecting them! Not consider it in first place! He just saying that so he appear to be cold and uncaring but...
'Hopefully I won't start new tradition.' Meruem thought "If you don't want it, then don't, no need to force yourself. I just give easier solution since burying the body might going to have negative effect to everyone. However if it was truly unacceptable then don't push it, we don't need inner conflict."
"Yes!"
Meruem give nod to her and he start to prop himself to stand, his tail waving once and he looked to certain direction, to one of building that has bunch of ravens perching
'This aura... Could it be...' He narrowed his eyes as his En caught something abnormal "I will go and gather the bandit dead bodies."
"Sir?"
"They will have their uses rather than sprawling around." He grunted "I will strip their weapons, they can be used in some way." He turned back to Wendy with sharp eyes "Don't worry, I still can watch over you, right now none of you go out from my radar."
"I-I see..."
He walk to the edge of the roof nonchalantly and about to jump, however Wendy's voice suddenly reach him
"T-Thank you!" She squeak out
Meruem paused, he briefly turn his head and face the young woman
"Thank you! For... For saving us, for helping us so much..."
Her voice is too loud, her hands were shaking, and her face is strained and yet...
"I... I know we make an agreement, but... But you still went so far for us... And..."
And yet her words are nothing but genuine, a pure gratitude that said with sincereness
Faced with such heartful and honest intention, Meruem can't help but feel twitch on the corner of his lips
But Wendy can't see it as the part of lips that twitched is on the other side
"Think nothing of it." He said "After all..." He turned back and prepared to do his jump "It was our agreement."
Then he hopped from the roof, leaving before Wendy can't reply. He doesn't need to heard it after all, there's nothing else to say between them, and he also don't want to get too attached
He only will be with them for a moment after all
'Now then... What should I do with the dead bodies.'
He can crucify and use them as bait for the crows or animal. That way he can capture them and provide more food for the villager, even if it only meat but it better than nothing
However...
'Or... I could...'
Loath and disgusted to admit it, but he can't deny the smell of their bodies is... Appetizing. Like a beef with class, it make him hungry
He didn't notice it to be honest, when they fighting he didn't smell such thing. It can't be because he was too focused, his mind already advanced enough after all, such smell would be noticed by his nose and yet...
He broken from his thought when his arm choose at that moment to throb once again, he grimace slightly and glared at his arm
'Wait a minute...'
Meruem eyes narrowed sharply at his injured arm, in instant his mind drifted to the scene where his predecessor dying after the Poor Man's Rose explode in front of him, where he got recovered after Shaiapouf and Menthuthuyoupi started to... Feed him with...
So that is why...
It seems the more he ate, the faster his injury healed since the more energy he will gain. However they cannot be normal food, it must be one that special
'It can't be helped then...'
He don't want to eat people if it could, however his injury need to be treated, soon. If those bandit truly what they are and what he sense moment ago is really the person he thinking of...
Well, they're only a bandits, people won't be looking for them, and there is also a lot of dead bodies so...
People clearly won't notice if few were missing...
It just a dead bodies after all, no one will mind
Another chapter finished. Originally this supposed to come yesterday, since it is a little short than usual
Anyway, so we have Meruem fighting against Grimm in here and he roast them all. That shouldn't be surprise giving his nature, however he not win without cost
He got his arm injured by performing technique that incomplete. It is powerful but it still dangerous, frankly if he not careful he could lose his arm next time
And he also have his... Inner demon to say. It is not bad things to be honest since it make him stronger but... How it will go for him in future?
Anyway! It seems thing finally over, only dealing with the villager remain, something that shouldn't be problem for our MC!
Or is it?
Well, I guess this is it for now, I hope you love this chapter! Next one will be Meruem handled the villager and everything else! Stay tune and keep reading if you curious about it! And don't forget to give this story Favorite, Follow, and Review
Ja Ne! XD
