Chapter 13 Fight To The Death!

Satoshi miraculously flew in the air, just like how he did it during the initial tests in school. And as he did so, two columns of flames got rid of two tentacles while the White Lion shot a blinding ball of blue lightning towards the remaining tentacle. It all occurred in a span of a split second that everyone's jaws dropped, including the cameramen and reporters on the scene.

<Notice: Enemy is Paralyzed>

<It seems like a Lightning Attack is effective against your opponent, Satoshi. Is it because 98.4% of its body is made up of liquid?>

When Satoshi whirled his head, he realized that his retro computer, this time, with metallic wings, was flying close to him. He smiled, glad to see that his first 'upgraded' machine using his superpower was there on his official superhero debut/fight. "Dex, it's glad to see you, I'll be looking forward to your assistance."

<My pleasure, Satoshi>

From a distance, the cameramen and the news reporters were all clamoring, grabbing each other by the collars as they asked each other if they were able to record what had happened. Just that scene alone would be a huge hit and they knew it! Although they don't understand a single thing about what's happening, they could tell that the scene alone was the epitome of the entire fight— a grand entrance, and the desperation that could be felt from the villain.

Tatsuki and Ayumu smiled as they watched their son fight like a professional superhero. They had no idea how much image training and actual training Satoshi went through after all these years, all those, for that single moment of truth.

"That darn son of ours, he totally stole the spotlight." Tatsuki rubbed his nose as a stray tear fell from his eyes. His son may be in danger and he could get gravely injured in that fight, and yet, all he could see was a superhero in the body of his kid. From that distance, Satoshi looked all-grown-up, even though a few days ago, he looked like a kid, despairing over the fact that he didn't have a single superpower.

You're totally right." Ayumu hugged her husband as tight as she could before changing her expression. "Now, let's not dilly-dally, darling. We need to evacuate all the remaining civilians and call for help. Do you still have that Flight Skill of yours?"

"On it!" Tatsuki saluted to his wife after giving her a passionate kiss. A pair of black wings then came out of his back and before they knew it, he was already flying in the air, on the lookout for any civilians while he tried to locate another superhero nearby.

"I'll take care of the reporters?" Yukino-san trailed off before snickering. He was totally left out when the Midoriyama duo started focusing on each other. "Aight, I'm on it as well." He answered his own question.

A hail of nails rained down on the Slime as it tried to swat Satoshi like a fly. Satoshi easily dodged the coming tentacle by spinning twice in mid-air and diving. The Whitish Blue Balls of Flame, now located on both his shoulders, continuously fired a column of flame at the Slime, whittling at its hp slowly and steadily. As for the White Lion who was still on the ground, Satoshi didn't forget to give it the command to dodge from time to time as it continuously fired balls of lightning as well.

<Satoshi, your enemy's hp is down by 50%>

<Remember, monsters like this may have what they call the Berserk Mode. It might increase in power all at once in a desperate attempt to survive.>

"Where did you learn that?" Satoshi curiously asked since he couldn't remember discussing anything about Slimes in front of his retro computer.

<From your memories, Satoshi, and also from the countless games you played using me.>

"I-I see... well, thanks for the reminder, Dex. I'll keep that in mind" Satoshi's eyes twitched as he realized the obvious. Of course, his retro computer knows all the games he played throughout the years, how could it not?

The Slime clearly underestimated Satoshi and it could sense it. Somehow, he thought that the offspring of the two humans wouldn't be stronger than them but boy was he wrong. Not only was the offspring stronger than them, he also had an array of attacks he was weak to. Well, he isn't really weak against typical lightning and fire but for some reason, this kid named Satoshi has the most powerful lightning and flames in his arsenal. "I didn't receive any information about this. I thought humans are weaker than this!" The Slime said to himself as he desperately clung to his life while blindly swinging his tentacles around.

In the end, its hp went down to 10% and he had no choice but to tap into all the energy he got. This is what Dex called the Berserk Mode and he totally was on-point with his guesses.

A menacing screech came from the Slime as its skin turned into light blue color. It didn't look that strong compared to its previous murky green color but it did the trick to signal Satoshi of its Berserk Mode. "Dex is right, now that's what you'd call a Berserk Mode. It's a bit anticlimactic though." He sighed.

As the Slime grew bigger in size, so did its power exponentially increased as well. However, it took too long for him to prepare for his Berserk Mode that Satoshi took his chance to fire everything he got towards the monster. And because of that, it didn't survive for long. As bits of nail and whitish flame and lightning all bore down upon the Slime, it gave up its soul and decided to stay still as it approached its death.

"They're coming soon." The Slime said before it turned into a formless goop in the ground, which then evaporated into thin air, releasing a terrible smell that almost made everyone throw up.

"Talk about an awful exit." Satoshi covered his mouth as he felt nauseated. As he floated down (thanks to the portable nailgun that's stuck to his feet which enabled him to fly), he noticed that there were a dozen or so reporters in the scene. In an attempt to hide his face, he covered it with both hands as he looked for his parents. Perhaps the life in front of a camera was something he wasn't ready for yet.
