My King System

Chapter 171 - Heaven's Hero

While Yuki had just basically traumatized the goblins which he was facing by killing one of their own as if it was an insect, Yuki didn't see a problem in anything he did. 

"Activate ability: Fire Control"

​​

Using his ability, Yuki created multiple flame constructed spears which rained on the remaining goblins like arrows which were born in hell itself. They were unable to do anything about it as the speed at which the spears flew at them were too hard to dodge. Even then, the goblins had no choice but to jump back into battle as they were commanded by the system to fight the player. 

"Man, these guys are boring. All they can do is die. I should just kill all of them right now," said Yuki as he slowly walked towards the crowd of goblins which remained.

Yuki quickly took a step forward and in doing so, instead took 5 steps. That was what it had looked like to one of the smaller goblins due to not being able to see Yuki's movement clearly. The goblin just stood there with fear in its eyes as it awaited its gruesome death by the hands of the monster which was in front of it. 

"Come on man. At least put up a fight. You're just making me look like a bully," said Yuki as he engulfed his fist with his flames and prepared to end the life of the small goblin which stood in front of him. 

Before he could do that, Yuki started to see a command in front of him. 

[Emergency Change: Even Playing Field]

[The Player Has Been Recognized As Too Powerful]

[All Dungeon Monsters Within This Dungeon Will Receive A Boost To Match The Strength Of The Player]

[Note: Player will not be compensated with extra exp]

"Are you serious-" said Yuki before getting interrupted by the fist of the goblins he was about to kill. 

Yuki no longer had his overwhelming strength to show off and abuse against the stage monsters. He would have to face the goblins just as he would have to face anyone who was close to his level of power. 

"Why did you have to do this now? Sure I was complaining about them being too weak but it was just a statement. I didn't actually want them to grow in power. Now I'm going to have to face them like this?" Yuki said as he got up from the ground to face the goblins now that they were a lot stronger than they used to be. 

However, before Yuki could even regain balance over his own body, another goblin from what remained of the army leaped in the air and knocked Yuki down once again as he sat on Yuki's chest and began to pummel his face with his bare fists. Even though he was carrying his dagger, the goblin angled his weapon sideways so it wouldn't cut Yuki. This was done so that he could enjoy humiliating Yuki a lot longer. 

"NO!" said Yuki as he raised his hand forwards and prepared to launch a blast right in the goblin's face. However, before Yuki could do that, the goblin reached towards Yuki's palm and grabbed hold of it. Even so, Yuki still charged his fist with his flames and concentrated it before letting the concentrated heat combust and in turn completely blow apart the goblin's forearm. 

"You got a taste of your own medicine," said Yuki as he smirked at the goblin. 

Seeing this, the goblin let out a roar of anger and grabbed hold of Yuki's wrist with his remaining hand before squeezing the life out of it. In doing so, Yuki's eyes filled up with both tears and anger as he couldn't wait to completely and utterly burn each and every single one of the goblins to a point where they would be unrecognizable. 

Before Yuki could get up though, the goblin which had held over his arm held Yuki up and swung him towards the crowd of goblins which made it so that Yuki couldn't fight back due to it being extremely difficult to impossible for him to dodge or counter an attack mid air. 

Right before Yuki reached the goblins, one of the monsters stepped forwards and kicked Yuki's back as he sent him back to where he was thrown from like a volleyball. Even then, the goblins weren't done taking out their anger on Yuki. 

Yuki, still flying towards the goblin which had originally thrown him, tried to stop himself from heading towards the goblin to no avail. Making his body heavier by straining his body to an extreme extent didn't work either as he was moving too fast. 

"Okay, this is just one more hit. I've just got to brace for impact," said Yuki as he covered his head with his arms so as to not take any damage to his vital areas. 

Just then, Yuki felt an immense pain in his chest as the goblin's fist made perfect contact with Yuki's ribs as he nearly shattered each one of them. Due to that, Yuki was momentarily knocked out which made the goblin believe that he was dead and that it was safe to head back to the group of goblins which were basically its family. 

"Where is that goblin even going? I'm clearly not dead yet. Wait, I forgot that these monsters have the same amount of brain cells as a worm. Of course they would correlate someone with not moving for a moment to them being dead. Well, it works in my favour so I might as well be happy about it," said Yuki as he thought to himself. 

"Thinking about it now. This is a lot more enjoyable than actually being too strong for them to handle. It gives me a chance to improve and learn how I match up to those who are of equal strength than me. Though, it's a shame I won't be compensated with extra exp for all my troubles. The system tried to make the strengths equal but won't make the rewards worth it. I think it's worried about the wrong aspect of fairness when it comes to the dungeon because I could go to the 4th or 5th dungeon where my strength would be on average the same as the monsters there and still gain a lot more exp. But I guess that doesn't matter," Yuki said to himself with an annoyed expression. 

"Although I could just ask Zero to change the rules of this world behind everyone's back, it wouldn't be fair if I were to do that. Thinking about it now, if Meurig grew to the point where he was too strong, then the dungeon should've matched his strength and in turn, it would've taken him the exact same time to clear the dungeon each time he did it and in turn, he wouldn't be as powerful as I thought he was," Yuki continued to think about the way which the dungeon worked. 

"No. That wouldn't make sense either. I was still as strong as I am when I entered the dungeon's first stage. If that rule really applied, the goblins from stage 1 should've also matched me in strength. The real question is what specifically caused the emergency change? Let me see... what did I specifically do before it activated?" Yuki asked himself as he was finally getting somewhere with his thoughts. 

"Right! I was walking towards those small goblins before I was caught off guard and then it started to wreak havoc on me. What about it was special?" Yuki asked himself.

"I remember that he was standing still. It looked like he was extremely scared for some reason. Was I really that frightening to look at? I mean all I did was kill some regular goblins. But.. I guess that would be scary to him as I basically killed hundreds of the only creatures he knew were his friends and family. That's seriously messed up. Did I just end a whole population? Wait, could monsters even have emotions? Seeing as this just happened, they probably do. Oh man. This is seriously messed up. I'm like a single alien that went to earth and killed almost every single human except those in a small country and I was torturing them. But come on, it can't be that bad. It's just a game, I can't be the villain in this situation. The player is always the hero," Yuki told himself as he tried to erase all bad thoughts from him mind. 

"That's right. I'm the hero and they're the villains. I mean seriously, when has a normal human been the villain and the deformed green monster been the hero? This is my world. I rule over it as the king. I won't be ridiculed in it. I shall completely overpower the monster and rule over the world with my absolute power. I won't allow myself to be weak any longer. I am king!" Yuki said to himself as he slowly stood up from the ground.
