Chapter 183 A sudden dragon-level disaster.
The future S-level person designated by the boss of the association, if not now, when will you curry favor with him?

Speaking of which, the cheap teacher of Unlicensed Knight, Springbeard, is also quite unlucky.

His previous A-class hero level was determined during the recruitment assessment, and he has only been in the association for a short time, so he has no actual achievements yet.

The result of this classification was that he was demoted from Class A to the reserve.

In fact, he is not the only one who has had this experience. Snake Fist is one of them. This is also the reason why many people made a big fuss before.

The gap in status before and after is really too big, which makes me feel a little depressed.

However, after the new benefits were announced, those people with strong financial resources calmed down.

After all, it is not difficult for them to regain their previous status.

You can even take advantage of the three failure chances given to the reserve by the association and rush straight to B and A in one go.

So even though you have to wait to get back your benefits, you have the opportunity to try and make mistakes, so it’s not a loss.

Ring ring ring.
Just when the atmosphere in the meeting hall was lively, the phone in Xiqi's pocket beside Li De suddenly rang.

"Sid, a monster disaster has appeared!" At the same time, Claire's voice sounded in Reed's mind.

"What level?" Li De replied through the contract without changing his expression.

"It's definitely Dragon level," Claire replied immediately.

"Isn't the algorithm developed by Child Emperor and others not officially put into operation yet? Can this be confirmed?" Li De asked with a little surprise.

"This time, the monster, or more accurately, the species of monster, is too conspicuous. Anyone who knows about it knows how powerful it is." Claire replied immediately.

"What strange insect?" Li De was even more surprised at this moment.

"A rhinoceros beetle. It's a super giant rhinoceros beetle with a body length of fifty meters." Claire continued to answer.

"Uh, which city is this rhinoceros beetle in?" After hearing the name of the rhinoceros beetle, Reed immediately understood why Claire judged it to be a dragon-level disaster.

"It's not far away, in City B. It suddenly rushed out from the mountains bordering City Y." Claire explained.

"Sister, where are you now?" Li De continued to ask.

"We've arrived in City B and seen the rhinoceros beetle." Claire had already moved to City B while talking to Reed.

"Do you think this rhinoceros beetle can do it?" Li De continued to ask.

"It should be enough. The life breath is very strong, almost as strong as that of a medium-sized sea king. Moreover, the shell of this thing is much harder than the scales of a medium-sized sea king." Reed could feel Claire's excitement from her reply this time.

"Then let's fight with all our might." Li De said immediately.

"Okay, I understand." Claire said and disconnected from Reed.

"Lord Sid, it's bad. A monster disaster has occurred in City B. The preliminary judgment is that it is dragon-level!" Xiqi, who was standing aside, said to Li De immediately after answering the phone.

"There is a dragon-level monster in City B, I'll go there right away!" Before Li De could even open his mouth, Tornado, who heard it, spoke up immediately.

However, her body had just started to emit green light and she had not yet flown up when Li De grabbed her arm.

"Sid, are you going to stop me?" Tornado asked, turning back with some dissatisfaction.

"Why would I stop you? I wanted to tell you that Claire has arrived and is ready to fight." Reed replied speechlessly.

"So fast?" This time it was Tornado's turn to be surprised.

"I've already said that it's a space transfer. It's just a blink of an eye, so it's naturally fast." Li De said with a smile.

"Then I'll go check out the head office." Tornado said after rolling his eyes.

"I have no objection to your going, but you are absolutely not allowed to interfere unless Claire asks. But I don't think Claire will give you a chance. If you really want to see it, just watch it here. Saikingal, notify the staff to bring over the live broadcast projection of City B." After Li De finished speaking, he let go of Long Juan's hand.

"Yes, Lord Sid, I will arrange it immediately!" Saikingar said quickly.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Humph!" Tornado on the other side turned her face away proudly.

After all, her original intention was to see if Claire needed help.

If it were in another place, Tornado would probably ask directly, after all, she still owed Li De a big favor.

But at the Heroes Conference, Tornado couldn't be so direct.

Li De also understood the meaning, so he told her implicitly that it was not necessary.

After all, Claire was not acting alone. Except for Reed who was still in the headquarters in City A, the other women, including Miyano Shiho, had already fled to City B.

Unlike Victoria, Alexia and the others, Shiho Miyano took Akemi Miyano to City B to collect materials for this giant rhinoceros beetle.

In Miyano Shiho's opinion, this obviously mutated giant rhinoceros beetle might exceed the power limit of ordinary rhinoceros beetles. Therefore, after learning the news, she immediately put down everything she was doing and ran to the front line.

After all, Miyano Shiho knew very well that this giant rhinoceros beetle was definitely the best material that could be found.

However, it is too difficult to capture this rhinoceros beetle alive. Even if Child Emperor and Professor Foboy work together, they probably won’t be able to build a cage that can hold this rhinoceros beetle.

So she had to go to the front line and wait to collect the freshest flesh and blood.

As the association staff took over the signal, when the lights in the venue dimmed, the image of City B appeared in the sight of the heroes in the venue on the huge projection screen behind the podium.

Accompanied by the sound of huge propellers turning, the camera looked down from above City B at the ongoing disaster below.

I saw a black figure fighting with a giant rhinoceros beetle.

Boom boom boom!
Small mushroom clouds formed by dust and smoke rose up, followed by a huge sound.

Even though the helicopter was in the sky at this moment, the microphone in the hands of the live broadcast staff in the cabin captured the deafening sound.

"Wow, that's quite a noise!" Tornado ran to Li De's side at some point and said while looking at the projection screen.

"It's normal. After all, it's a rhinoceros beetle. Under normal circumstances, this insect can lift objects 850 times its own weight. Not to mention now after the mutation, its strength must be even more terrifying.

Even if the power has not broken through, it is scary enough. Judging from the size, it must weigh several tons. If calculated at 850 times, how many people can stop this power?" Li De asked Tornado. "I can!" Tornado said confidently.

"I know, but what about you? And I guess even if it's you, Tornado, it would be difficult to face the shell which is harder than the alloy." Li De continued.

"Easy! Absolutely easy!" Tornado said suddenly with a jumpy look.

"Okay, if you say it's easy, then it's easy. But even if it's easy, I can't give it to you. After all, Claire has been hoping to have an opponent who can fight with all her strength for a long time!" Reed said with a smile.

Following Li De's voice, everyone focused their attention on the screen again.

At this moment, City B was in ruins that had been cleared out by a giant rhinoceros beetle, and Claire was fighting with it.

After disconnecting the call with Reed, Claire immediately rushed to the front of the giant rhinoceros beetle, and then slashed at the giant rhinoceros beetle with a huge blow.

Faced with this huge force, the giant rhinoceros beetle simply swung its horns horizontally and blocked the beast before it could hit Feidao.

A huge, sharp metallic clanging sound was heard, and the next second, Claire saw her own attack being cut off in half by the middle of the giant rhinoceros beetle's horn.

The upper half flew into the sky, while the lower half fell straight to the ground and cut a crack several dozen meters long on the concrete road.

To be honest, it was the first time that Claire saw an opponent being able to break her strike in half. You know, breaking a strike in half is much more difficult than deflecting it.

This sweep by the giant rhinoceros beetle was definitely much more domineering and brutal than the scene where Diamond Joz intercepted Mihawk's attack.

This also shows how powerful the giant rhinoceros beetle is.

To be honest, if Claire hadn't already taken action, Reed would have thought of taking action.

After all, the power of this giant rhinoceros beetle is enough to put pressure on Li Dedu.

Even Reed could feel the pressure, so how could Claire not feel it?

But the more she could feel it, the more excited Claire became.

After all, after killing this strange insect, the great achievements will definitely be accumulated to the full extent, allowing me to upgrade from Lv.3 to Lv.4.

Thinking of this, Claire became more eager to fight and started to attack the giant rhinoceros beetle.

The giant rhinoceros beetle also charged forward without fear. The small mushroom cloud that Reed and others had seen before was produced by the battle between Claire and the giant rhinoceros beetle.

After several minutes of testing, Claire, who had finished warming up, finally got serious.

Because after a few minutes of testing, Claire can be sure of one thing, that is, this giant rhinoceros beetle is only strong in strength and defense, and is far behind in other aspects.

With a flash, Claire appeared on the back of the giant rhinoceros beetle, and stabbed the sharp sword in her hand directly into the hard elytra.

After a slight resistance, the sharp sword made by Reed in Claire's hand was inserted into the elytra of the giant rhinoceros beetle. Then Claire slashed horizontally with force, and a black slash appeared.

A long cut was torn in the elytra of the giant rhinoceros beetle.

grumble!
The next second, the giant rhinoceros beetle let out a shrill scream in pain.

Although the giant rhinoceros beetle's shell is extremely hard, it depends on who you compare it with.

If it were an alloy weapon from the One Punch World, it might not be able to break its shell.

But the weapons that Li De used Orichalcum and Mithril as materials and engraved with sacred words were not within this range.

In fact, when Claire felt the resistance when the sword pierced into the giant rhinoceros beetle's elytra, she was slightly surprised.

After all, she had had this sword for so long, and this was the first time she had encountered a hard object that could cause the blade to feel resistance.

However, this slight resistance was definitely nothing to Claire, otherwise she would not have been able to create a two-meter-long hole in the elytra of the giant rhinoceros beetle with just one knife.

"It's so hard!" Li De, who was overlooking the scene through the camera, couldn't help but sigh.

"Wasn't it cut open easily by Claire? Where is the hard part?" Tornado asked a little confused.

"No, it's really hard! The reason why it's easy is because the blade of the sword is too sharp." Kamikaze on the side couldn't help but speak.

After all, as a samurai, he understood best how powerful Claire's attack was.

However, such a slashing blow was basically unable to make a long cut on the elytra of the giant rhinoceros beetle, and the cut was basically caused by the sword blade, which was enough to show that the elytra of the giant rhinoceros beetle were extremely hard.

"Master, Lord Claire is so fast, why doesn't you attack his head directly?" Iai asked in confusion.

"We should first confirm the firmness of the shell of this dragon-level monster insect so that it will be easier to attack its head later. This is the correct idea." Bang spoke before Kamikaze could speak.

"Indeed, without first determining the hardness of the shell, it is difficult to confirm whether the attack will be effective. And if it fails to kill the opponent but only injures him, it will be troublesome." Kamikaze added.

"Indeed, after all, this strange insect can fly. When the time comes, whether it is escaping or flying to fight, it will become difficult for Claire." Bang also said.

"Claire is not afraid of air combat, and can even gain the upper hand. But once this giant rhinoceros beetle flies up, the damage it causes to City B will be more than just the ruins in front of us.

Claire chose the elytra not to test it, but to injure it and make it lose the ability to fly, so that the damage can be controlled within the scope of the ruins. "Li De shook his head and said.

“But wouldn’t it be more angered if its elytra were injured? Even if it can’t fly, with its huge body, it can run pretty fast.” Flash said with a stern expression not far away.

"So Claire's next attack will be Lizu's turn." Li De said lightly.

Just as Reed said, Claire slashed the giant rhinoceros beetle's elytra several times in a breath, making several cuts, and then turned to slash at the giant rhinoceros beetle's sharp feet covered with spikes.

After a few rounds, the giant rhinoceros beetle fell to the ground, unable to move, after Claire cut off the limbs that supported its body.

Then Claire came to the head of the giant rhinoceros beetle and inserted the sword into its head.

As the shadow thorn invisible to the outside world exploded in its head, the life breath of the giant rhinoceros beetle quickly dissipated.

"Xichi, ask someone to prepare a transport plane to bring the body of this rhinoceros beetle back to me. This strange insect is full of good things!" Li De said immediately.

"Sid, is there any value in this insect's corpse?" Tornado asked curiously.

"Of course it is valuable! As Ejiao said, it is an excellent material for making equipment. As for the flesh and blood, it can be used to refine strength potions. In short, the whole body is a treasure." Li De nodded and said.
