Chapter 184 – #185 the Choice Is Yours
#185 The choice is yours
“…”
Dr. Crumola stared at the steel armor in the monitor as if possessed. He didn’t realize he was shocked, but his fingers were shaking.
He wasn’t a man so frightened or frightened by the death of others. Rather, he was a scientist who was indifferent to human life to the extent that he developed steam in the name of evolution.
So many people lost their lives in the process of making steam. Dr. Cru Mola knew for sure that they would die, but he didn’t stop making steam.
If you are next to a monster, you will be infected by the monster. Dr. Crumola, who was an ordinary scientist, was turned into a monster by the Shadow Killer.
However, even for such a doctor, the current scene, no, the scene of the slaughter was shocking.
“Is that… Possible?”
Is this the power of an S-class psychic?
I knew that S-class heroes and villains were strong, but this was the first time I had actually witnessed that power.
“That’s… S-class?”
It is not for nothing that Dark Lady told Steel Armor that she organized an assassination squad to kill an S-class villain. When I speak confidently like that, I can say it because there are achievements that prove it.
Even among the 50 assassins, there were many A-class villains, and above all, there was a strong man who left only one step to the S-class level like the Dark Lady.
Such strong people met such a miserable end with a single gesture of steel armor, which could not be found in the slightest bit of sincerity.
Dr. Crumola, who was watching the scene in real time, was shocked as much as the Dark Lady.
“S-class is really a monster… Huh?”
Then, Steel Armor was seen turning his head to stare at the CCTV. Dr. Crumola, who met eyes with the steel armor in the monitor, somehow felt that he was looking at him.
‘No way. Body enhancers don’t have that ability…’
“I don’t know who you are.”
‘Huh?’
“I don’t know what you want.”
‘Ser, no way…?’
“If you want a ransom, I can give it any amount.”
‘You’re… Talking to me?’
For the first time since becoming a monster, Dr. Crumola had chills down his spine.
Even though the Dark Lady is right next to her, Steel Armor doesn’t care about her and only tells her CCTV, Dr. Crumola on the other side of the monitor.
“If you let go of my daughter and friend you kidnapped even now, I won’t find you and I won’t pursue you. I’ll just forget that the bad luck happened. But if you don’t…”
Steel Armor put a ball made of 50 villains on the floor.
“I will track you down and find you. And…”
Enemy-!
He crushed the ball with his foot.
“I will kill you.”
As Steel Armor reached out to her, the CCTV started shaking. Also, the image on the monitor was shaking.
“The choice is yours. And the cost of your choice is also yours.”
Kwajik-!
And the CCTV was broken.
“…”
Dr. Crumola was staring blankly at the monitor that had been turned off.
*****
I looked at the CCTV that was crushed by the ruler of gravity and turned my head.
‘Did you see it? Should have seen If I don’t see it, I’m sold like a dog.’
When the battle with the Assassins took place earlier, the poisonous CCTV moved along my movements. CCTVs were also installed on the other side, and they did not move. Only the CCTV moved.
So I guessed that the person who manipulated the CCTV might be the culprit who kidnapped Rachel and Rachel’s friend.
Maybe not, but if my guess is correct, I can send a warning message. A warning message that if you touch Rachel even by a single hair, she will surely kill you.
Or you’re just fooling around.
“Did you say Dark Lady?”
“…”
“Do you have any intention of returning Rachel right now?”
“Who the hell is Rachel! We never kidnapped your daughter!”
“Really? Then who kidnapped my daughter?”
“… I don’t know.”
“Did you wait?”
“…!”
Hook-!
The index finger dug into the Dark Lady’s shoulder. I could feel the soft flesh, the elastic muscles, and the hard bones, but none of them could stop my fingers.
The black-finger fire truck won’t stop at a red light girl~
“Quaaaaah!”
“You’re surprisingly weak to pain? You can only scream like this.”
I grabbed the Dark Lady’s hair and fixed her so that she couldn’t turn her head. Then slowly thrust her head into her.
“I’ll believe you. I don’t think you’re lying. You, no, you guys definitely didn’t kidnap my daughter. But…”
“Keuk…”
“You know who kidnapped my daughter, right? So you just hesitated?”
“…”
The Dark Lady glared at me with her venomous eyes and shut her mouth.
Is this bitch running out of time again? Do you think I will look after you if you are pretty and have a good body? I’ll watch it for a while, but it’s not a situation where I can’t look at it right now.
“Oh… Lady. I’m not a cop. You have no right to give me the right to remain silent. Or… Do you want me to separate your upper body and lower body like your boss?”
“Kuu…!”
He ran his fingers through the dark lady’s thin waist. If I had to, I’d pierce her belly like I punched a hole in her shoulder.
“Now, this is your last chance. If you keep your mouth shut this time, then I will kill you and capture the others. If you kill them one by one, one day someone you know will appear.”
“…”
“Three! Two! One! Ding! Just die.”
Pooh–
“Kuh! Now, hold on!”
He stopped his fingers at the urgent voice. One of her index fingers had gone into her stomach.
“Dr. Krumola!”
“… Who?”
“Probably the culprit who kidnapped your daughter and the other girl was Dr. Krumola.”
“Dr. Crumola?”
Who is that bitch
*****
At the time when Steel Armor was bursting with madness, a fierce battle was taking place on the other side.
“You’re not the same as before.”
“Well. You’re not as fierce as you used to be, are you?”
Demon Baron and Hardboiled exchanged attacks.
High heat of over 100 degrees was emitted from the gloves Hard-Boiled was wearing, and because of that, Daemon Baron’s skin turned red just by approaching him.
At least, since the Demon Baron was a psychic, and that was a powerful psychic at level 10, he stopped to the extent of burning red. If it was someone else, he would have suffered serious burns.
“Evil Pulse.”
A black energy swirled around his grotesquely transformed hand. If there was a steel armor in this place, he would have screamed happily, saying, ‘That’s a black spiral ring?!’
Anyway, when the demon baron used the skill, a small condensed black energy was shot towards the hard-boiled.
“Guardian’s Faith.”
Hard Boiled also used the skill after crossing his arms in a cross shape. Then, a translucent square shield appeared in front of him.
Aaaaang-!
“Kuk!”
The black energy collided with the square shield and caused a huge explosion. The shield began to crack little by little from the end.
Hard-boiled knew well from past experiences that just enduring was not the best. Little by little, he twisted his body diagonally and took a step back.
Then, the shock wave emitted by the black energy flew diagonally based on Hard-Boiled. The black aura, which had consumed all its strength, disappeared, but Hard-Boiled’s translucent square shield was broken here and there, but it was clearly intact.
“Stimpack.”
Now that you’ve been attacked, it’s time to strike back.
When Hard-Boiled used his new skill, his body became incomparably faster.
Thud-!
“What?!”
In addition, the power of the fist he wielded has also become considerably stronger.
[Steam Pack] Was a skill that improved physical abilities by consuming half of [HP], A special statistic that all body strengtheners have.
The Demon Baron, hit by Hardboiled’s fist, flew backwards.
“Kuh?! This year is much stronger than I thought!”
“Didn’t I say he was an A-class hero? But why are you so strong?!”
Meanwhile, behind him, a nine-tailed fox was fighting Baron Demon’s men. Baron Demon’s subordinates were five, whereas the nine-tailed fox had only one.
But surprisingly, it was the nine-tailed fox who was holding the winning flag.
If a villain tried to engage in close combat, he took out his sharp claws and dealt with it. If a villain attempted a ranged attack from a distance, he would attack with purple flames. If he tried to shake his mind with his psychic powers, he returned the attack on the contrary.
The nine-tailed fox was fighting perfectly according to the opponent’s attack.
There is no difference in grade. Gumiho was also an A-class hero, and all five of the villains were A-class villains.
“Then help the boss… Ok?!”
Fire-!
[Malius] Tried to help Baron Demon and hit hard-boiled’s back. Since the balance is seldom broken, I thought to reverse the situation by breaking the balance there.
But of course, the gumiho did not stand still. He shot purple flames right at Malius.
As if there was an induction effect, the purple flame relentlessly pursued the fleeing Malius.
“No one can go to the president of the association.”
“Sheesh!”
The gumiho said with an expressionless face. He did not look tired at all even though he was dealing with five villains of the same class at the same time.
But her cold mask soon shattered.
“Cool!”
“… Chairman of the Association?”
Gumiho’s eyes widened as he turned around at the sound of coughing from behind.
Clearly, it was Hard-Boiled that had the upper hand until just now.
However, at some point, Hard-Boiled’s body had three scars extending from his right shoulder to his left side, as if he had been scratched by an animal. Dark red blood was flowing from the wound.
“Cowardly bastard…”
“You’ve been retired too long. Where’s fair and square on the battlefield? Whoever wins is fair.”
“Ah, ah, ah…”
Only then was the nine-tailed fox able to see the other villains behind Baron Demon. As she was dealing with the five villains, she had new reinforcements come along.
Originally, the nine-tailed fox would have known the arrival of enemy reinforcements through her scent.
However, she did not notice because the stench emanating from the bodies of the five villains reduced her sense of smell.
The newly arrived Baron Daemon had only three subordinates in total. However, it was not easy to see because each and every one of them was an A-class villain.
Demon Baron is an S-class villain, but uniquely has only one district. Also, the size of the organization was quite small compared to other villains. Under the demon baron, there were at most 10 villains.
But no one looked down on the Demon Baron. This is because all 10 villains he had were A-class villains.
The organization led by the Demon Baron was an organization worthy of a small elite.
“Oh my God! The head of the Hero Association is dead! An era of chaos is coming! I’m so excited!”
“It’s not bad to destroy the Hero Association at this point.”
“…”
In addition, as the Shadow Killer’s subordinates were being reinforced from the surroundings, it was truly a moment of desperation.
“It’s time to disappear, to the other side of history.”
“Keugh…”
Daemon Baron approached Hard-Boiled to end him.
And then it was.
[Churrrr!]
“…”
He stopped at the sound of an animal’s cry coming from somewhere. When he raised his head, he saw a nine-tailed fox exuding an unprecedented energy.
“Is that… A fox, or a nine-tailed fox?”
The moment he saw the nine-tailed fox, Baron Demon felt as if he had seen a genuine legendary monster, not a heroic nine-tailed fox.
She glared at the daemon baron, baring her sharp teeth like a beast.
[Kyaaa Ahhhhh!]
“Stop!”
The moment the nine-tailed fox was about to attack Baron Demon, Hard-Boiled stopped her. Surprisingly, the ferocious energy flowing from the nine-tailed fox was instantly silenced by Hard-Boiled’s voice.
[…
“Calm down, nine-tailed fox. I’m hard-boiled. I won’t die from a wound like this.”
“… Chairman of the association.”
He smiled and patted the gumiho on the shoulder.
