Chapter 518: Stretching the Limbs (2)

“I am Damenevsky, of the Hero Race!”

Slowly retracting his leg, Damenevsky finally finished his introduction, his face a mask of annoyance.

‘I just wanted to say something. Why were you in such a hurry to pounce on me?’

‘A fight is inevitable.’

The Crocodile Men glanced at each other, then looked at their leader, who was still lying on the ground.

The Crocodile Man leader rolled to his feet. His amber-like eyes, filled with shock and uncertainty, stared at Damenevsky.

That single kick proved this Human was no ordinary person.

Simple and unadorned, yet he couldn’t dodge it. He took the kick head-on, and its immense Power sent him flying.

‘Is this something an ordinary Human can do?’

“A Lord?” the Crocodile Man leader asked uncertainly.

“I’m not a Lord. Just a Human who wants to stretch his limbs!” Damenevsky said, shouldering his War Axe and advancing with the signature grin of a battle maniac.

‘Come on, let’s have a joyous battle!’

‘Like men!’

Damenevsky suddenly accelerated, charging straight for the Crocodile Man leader.

Seeing this, the other Crocodile Men didn’t wait for their leader’s command. They raised their Great Sabers and rushed toward Damenevsky.

BANG—

A Crocodile Man was sent flying backward, just like his leader, only he wasn’t as lucky.

When he kicked the Crocodile Man leader, Damenevsky hadn’t used much force, allowing the leader to keep his life.

But now that the real battle had begun, he didn’t need to hold back. This kick was packed with real power.

The surrounding Crocodile Men could clearly see him lean back slightly, aim for the space between the Crocodile Man’s chest and abdomen, and kick out with force.

They also clearly saw that after the kick landed, flesh caved in, the spine bulged outward, and then blood splattered as the body flew backward.

The Crocodile Man, struck head-on by Damenevsky’s kick, spewed blood and fragmented internal organs in mid-air. A huge hole had been torn through his chest and abdomen. The Scale Armor on his belly had offered no defense at all; it was pierced right through.

He was dead before he even hit the ground.

BOOM!

The massive body crashed to the ground, limp and unmoving.

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

The remaining Crocodile Men stopped their charge. They turned to look at their instantly killed comrade, then back at Damenevsky, their faces filled with disbelief.

‘Are… are you kidding me?!’

‘Is this f*cking thing a Human?’

‘This has to be a f*cking Monster in human skin!’

These Crocodile Men were Beast-headed People, which could be understood as upright-walking crocodiles.

They shared many crocodilian features, with Solid scales on their backs and a relatively softer underbelly.

But even if it was soft, that was only in relative terms. It was at least equivalent to wearing thick Leather Armor.

Yet even this offered not a shred of protection against the Human’s attack. He had killed one with a single kick.

Looking back at the Human, he was calm and unruffled, as if he had just casually kicked his leg out.

It wasn’t just the ordinary Crocodile Men; even their leader was dumbfounded.

“So weak.”

Damenevsky curled his lip and silently put away his War Axe.

These brutes, with their mouths full of tusks and sharp teeth, only looked intimidating. They weren’t worthy of his War Axe.

‘My bare hands will be enough.’

‘Hmm, I should lower my Power a bit more, or there’ll be no fun.’

‘I’ve been holding back for so many days. Now that I’ve finally found something interesting, I can’t just kill them all so casually. I need to get a proper warm-up.’

Damenevsky cracked his knuckles, making a series of sharp POPS.

“Come on.”

‘Come on?!’

‘Does he think we have a death wish?!’

Hearing Damenevsky’s words, the Crocodile Men not only didn’t advance but took a step back in unison.

Regardless of what the Crocodile Men were thinking, Damenevsky was ready to make his move.

He kicked off the ground, shooting toward the Crocodile Men like an arrow loosed from a bow.

BAM!

WHOOSH—

A Crocodile Man went flying.

BAM!

WHOOSH—

Another one went flying.

BAM!

CRACK!

WHOOSH—

This time, a Crocodile Man was prepared and blocked with the Great Saber in his hand.

The blade shattered, and the Crocodile Man went flying again.

Every punch and kick was plain to see—simple, without any flair, yet completely indefensible.

It was pure Speed and Power, the most fundamental and hardest things to overcome.

Damenevsky was single-handedly turning this into a complete rout.

A dozen or so Crocodile Men were simply no match for Damenevsky.

Damenevsky hadn’t even had his fill of fighting, and only the Crocodile Man leader was left.

The Crocodile Man leader’s face was now a picture of panic.

‘Too strong. He’s just too strong.’

He could no longer summon even a shred of will to fight.

They weren’t opponents on the same level at all. This Human in front of him was far, far stronger than them.

Damenevsky rolled his shoulders, looked at the Crocodile Man leader, and beckoned to him with a finger.

The Crocodile Man leader took a step back and shook his head frantically.

‘I’m not going over there!’

‘Don’t you come near me!’

Just as Damenevsky started walking toward the Crocodile Man leader, Bebuta arrived, descending from the sky and landing between him and the leader.

His fun interrupted, Damenevsky frowned and looked at Bebuta with some annoyance.

“What is it?” Damenevsky asked.

“The City Lord said to leave one alive. We can’t kill them all,” Bebuta said, facing Damenevsky with his back to the Crocodile Man leader.

Hearing this, a glint of light instantly erupted in the Crocodile Man leader’s eyes.

‘My savior!’

Right now, all he wanted was to get as far away from this terrifying Human as possible!
