Chapter 137 - Superiority

"So where are we headed off to?" the henchman asked.

"I'm going to go look for the other numbers of the gang. I'm going to defeat 5 and 6 then go back to meet with 4 so he could give me the compromise that he said he would if I let you guys continue. Too bad for him that I won't be taking anything. It's all pointless, I just wanted to mess with him and his other squadron leaders," Yuki explained. 

"That sounds fun. Do you mind if I tag along with you? I'm kind of intrigued to see how to battle against other people who might be able to stand up to you for even a little," asked the henchman.

"Of course. I thought you would want me to leave you behind in fear that your leaders would punish you," Yuki accepted the henchman's request. 

"By the way, I never got a chance to catch your name," said Yuki. 

"You can call me Chares," said the henchman as he continued to use Yuki as walking support since he had hurt his arm pretty badly when Yuki twisted it and threw him away with the force of a truck. Yuki hadn't meant to do that but he had accidentally let out a bit too much of his strength. 

Chares along with Yuki continued to pass by the houses where children and women continued to get kidnapped without doing anything. Yuki didn't bother since it was a waste of time because sooner or later, they would be set free. It would also make them getting saved by Yuki more appreciative. All the screaming and crying was ignored by Yuki as he joyfully looked for any of the two squadron leaders. 

Luckily for him, Yuki. spotted one of them in their black everything attire. Without caring if they were to be spotted, both Yuki and Chares continued to approach him. They had been ignored by the other lackeys because they weren't part of the target demographic. However, the squadron leaders didn't care who the person was. If they got in their way, they would have to be interrogated and stopped immediately.

Seeing as how they were close enough, Yuki laid Chares down on the ground beside a house so he could watch from a safe distance. As for Yuki himself, he continued to walk towards the man in the black suit. At some point, Yuki had grabbed the attention of the squadron leader. 

"Who might you be?" the squadron leader asked. 

"Let's cut down to the chase. I know about your stupid fake escape plan. It won't work because I don't intend on killing you. I just wanted to mess around with you. So stop talking and start fighting me," Yuki commanded. 

"Well that was quick. Sure," the squadron leader replied. The roman number that was sewn on his coat was VI(6) which meant that Yuki still had to look for V(5).

"Activate ability: Spike World"

Using his ability, VI(6) used his ability to surround Yuki inside a sphere ball in which spikes would plunge into Yuki's skin. However, just like he had done to so many other people's abilities, Yuki once again overpowered his enemy's ability with his own. Using his own ability, Yuki formed a fire blade which extended from his palm and used it to cut through the steel ball.

"Is that all you've got?" Yuki asked VI(6) as he exited the wall which was now disintegrating. 

VI(6) grit his teeth and once again used his ability. This time, he placed both his arms forward as he connected his wrists together as his palms faced Yuki and began to struggle to bring his fingers together. In doing this, his ability formed an inverse spike ball once again which swallowed Yuki, however, before Yuki could break out of that one, VI(6) created a second ball which swallowed the first ball. Next, he created a third then a forth until he had overlaid Yuki with 10 inverted spike balls. 

Once he was done, VI(6) let his hands fall down as he began to sweat profusely. It had taken a lot out of him to create so many overlays however it was worth it if they could defeat Yuki. However, that was a big if. 

"Activate ability: Fire Control"

Yuki activated his ability once again and let his flames run wild as they instantly burned through one layer of steel after another. While it wasn't a bad move, Yuki was just too strong for anyone to take on. 

"I guess all that torture in the dungeon payed off," Yuki said as he began to walk towards VI(6).

"You did good. Actually, you did better than all the other squadron leaders I've faced so far. you've earned yourself a break," said Yuki as he lightly pushed down on VI(6)'s shoulder which made him fall to his knees just like a subject to a king. 

Now that Yuki had finished his battle with VI(6), it was time to look for V(5). As such, Yuki walked towards Chares and helped him get up on his feet once again as they journeyed through the kingdom in search of the final squadron leader from the kingdom of Lyanna which Yuki would have to face before going back to IV(4). 

"That was one hell of a show. Lucky for me, I got front row seats," said Chares as he joked around. 

While Yuki and Chares passed by all the houses, everyone moved out of their way in fear of what would happen to them if even a squadron leader was no match for Yuki. While it seemed that Yuki was weak compared to the dungeon monsters, he was glad that he was strong compared to any human outside the dungeons. 

Even though Yuki was happy at where he was in his new life, it didn't mean he would stop. For all he knew, someone else in the world was working much harder than he was and would eventually reach the rank of the first level 100 player.
