Chapter 189 – #190 Assumptions
#190 Assumption
Geeeeeing-!
Aaaaang-!
“Stop it! Stop it!”
“How to stop that?! That guy is the White Knight!”
The White Knight, who infiltrated the secret base, flew through the sky and shot laser beams, destroying all the feet in sight.
Guards guarding the base fired rocket launchers or detonated bombs. Even if you shoot, you can’t even scratch the White Knight, so you attack with a weapon with strong firepower.
However, even those attacks did not reach the White Knight, who was able to fly freely, so the base quickly became a mess.
At this point, I wonder if the guards, who use high-powered weapons to protect the base, have destroyed the base more than the white knights have destroyed.
Anyway, it was impossible for the guards, who only had heavy weapons (?), To stop the White Knights from rampaging.
“…Not here either.”
With no one to stop him, the White Knight stopped for a moment and looked around. The head of the Valencia Association was nowhere to be seen and only pure pyramids appeared, which was quite annoying.
“Hmm?”
As he was about to move away, he felt someone approaching him.
“…”
There was only one person approaching, but it was so powerful that its presence could be felt from afar.
‘With this level of presence… Is it a shadow killer?’
“… Huhuhu. That must be fun.”
He was quite surprised when the Shadow Killer, who always ran away when he had to fight with him, approached him first.
The strongest hero himself, and the worst villain, Shadow Killer.
Since he and himself could be said to be the pinnacle of the two forces, people always talked about who was stronger.
I’m not the type to pay attention to people’s gossip, but I was curious. How strong is the worst villain?
So I wanted to try it once, but the Shadow Killer always ran away. He had never mixed words. It was because he knew how he only appeared and, like a ghost, he ran away without even knowing a mouse or a bird.
Geeeeeing-!
Light began to gather in the eyes of the White Knight. She intended to blow off her leg before the bastard could get away.
That’s that-!
The owner of the presence approached at a rapid pace. And the moment I turned the corner and showed up, the White Knight fired a laser beam.
“Suck?!”
The one who was holding something hurriedly turned his back to withstand the White Knight’s laser beam. It was a laser beam that could cut anything, but it couldn’t cut the body of the person who just appeared.
“Kyaaaaah
“Hmm?”
The White Knight, who was shooting laser beams, heard the little girl scream and realized that something was wrong with her.
“Who are you?”
Upon stopping her attack, she realized that it was a woman, not a man, who had been holding off her own laser beam until now. She also found out that she was holding her little girl in her arms.
Strangely, that wasn’t the only thing.
The back of the suit she was wearing was burned by the laser beam, revealing her back as fine as a jade. She did, but her clothes were burned, but her skin didn’t even have a tan mark.
“Are you all right?”
Ordinary people, no, even those with supernatural powers, cannot be perfectly fine after being hit by a laser beam. Aren’t many villains dismembered limb by his beam?
“Who are you?”
“Sss… Uhhh…”
“It’s okay. I’ll protect you. Don’t cry, Isabella.”
“You might have asked who… Um? You…”
When the woman turned her body around, the White Knight was able to identify the person who was still intact after being hit by the laser beam.
“Nine tailed fox?”
“It’s been a while, White Night. I’m not happy that you attacked without thinking.”
“Also…”
Looking at the nine-tailed fox, the White Knight made a meaningful expression.
“I thought she wouldn’t be an ordinary girl. Is she S-class?”
“…”
The White Knight thought that the nine-tailed fox that was clinging close to the president of the Valencia Association would not be an ordinary A-class hero.
When you become an S-class hero, you get a kind of sense, through which you can feel how strong other psychic powers are.
Even among heroes of the same rank, the variance in superpowers is large. Some are quite weak for a B-class, and others are strong enough to be considered A-class for a B-class.
And the nine-tailed fox that the White Knight felt was too, absurdly weak to be called A-class. I just had to see that I didn’t feel the presence itself.
This meant two things.
One means that a nine-tailed fox with no psychic powers became a false hero, or that he had S-class powers that could completely hide his presence.
Among them, I thought the white night might be the latter.
“Huhhhhh”
“…A loud bitch.”
“I am the granddaughter of the association president.”
“…You’re a noisy granddaughter. But why is the president’s granddaughter here?”
“Didn’t you know?”
“Okay.”
“Then how did you get here?”
“I came because the president of the association said it was dangerous. He has a debt.”
“…”
The gumiho looked at the white night with eyes of surprise.
The first modifier that comes to mind when thinking of the White Knight is the strongest hero. However, the next modifiers that come to mind are arrogant, psychic and outgoing, and ignorant of etiquette.
It was quite unexpected that he came here because he had a debt to pay back to the president of the association.
“So where is the president of the association now?”
“…”
The gumiho was unable to say anything. She didn’t even think that the president of the Valencia Association would still be alive.
However, humans are also animals that have hope even though they know that it is impossible.
“I have a favor, White Night.”
“Refuse.”
“…”
White Night, a personality ruiner who refuses with a single knife without even listening to it!
“We need your help to save the president. Didn’t you say you had to pay the debt?”
“Tell me.”
“Please take Isabella outside.”
“Refuse.”
“…”
His personality shines once again!
“Leave Isabella to the heroes outside. You will move much faster than I can. In the meantime, I will go to the president first. I will leave a mark on the wall, so follow me immediately.”
“Refuse.”
Three generations of men! The toughness of White Knight is also three generations!
“…Listen to me, White Knight.”
“What?”
The nine-tailed fox’s patience reached its limit when he was beaten three times by the white knight, who could be said to be an ally, in a situation where time was running out.
A shadow began to grow behind her. It was a shadow with a huge body, a protruding snout, and nine tails.
“I don’t intend to play with you anymore. So choose within three seconds. Will you help me save the president of the association, or… Will you die right here at my hands.”
“Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop…”
The White Knight burst into laughter at the Gumiho’s threat. Then she glared at the nine-tailed fox with her cold eyes.
“You dare to kill me? Like you?”
“You think you can’t?”
“…”
“…”
A hot snowball fight between the two men and women began. And surprisingly, it was the White Knight who first turned his eyes away from the snowball fight.
“I’m stepping down just this once to pay off my debt to the president. But after saving the president, you’re a nine-tailed fox.”
“Uhhh! Uhhhhh!”
“Noisy. Don’t cry, girl.”
Taking Isabella, the White Knight pierced her ceiling with a laser beam and went up. She said the easiest way to go up was to go up.
“Chief of the association… Please, please, please be safe!”
The nine-tailed fox, who entrusted Isabella to the White Knight, pursued his scent to save the Valencia president.
*****
The president of the Valencia Association, who had lost his mind, slowly opened his eyes.
“Ummm…”
“Are you awake?”
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the side, but there was no hostility in the voice.
“Who…?”
“If you ask who it is, it’s natural to answer!”
“… Huh?”
The voice suddenly became cheerful.
“To prevent the destruction of this world! To protect the peace of this world! Spreading love, truth, and darkness! Licorice in the Dark City! Cute villain! Name it…”
“…?”
The head of the Valencia Association suspected that Baron Daemon had given him drugs while he was asleep.
“Steel Armor!!!!!”
Bang-! Kwagwagwagwagwang-!
Steel Armor made the sound of a bomb exploding from its mouth.
It was a rather loud and crazy self-introduction, but anyway, the president of the Valencia Association knew who the man in front of him was. And at the same time, the gloomy focus returned.
As introduced as Steel Armor, the large man in front of him had the same appearance as Steel Armor.
“Steel armor?”
“Yes. It’s steel armor.”
“…Why are you here? Did you join hands with the Shadow Killer?”
“No. I won’t hold hands with a guy who lost to me. Do you think I’ll hold hands with a guy who’s torn apart like Shadow Killer? If I hold hands with him, nothing will happen.”
“Uh, huh?”
Valencia was surprised by the act of making the infamous Shadow Killer into a idiot by mixing strange rhymes. Unless you have extremely high self-esteem, words like that don’t come right away as soon as you ask a question.
“By the way, aren’t you sick anywhere?”
“What? Hmm? Ehh? Doesn’t it hurt?”
“Yes, it shouldn’t hurt. I made a huge investment to save you.”
“… Steel Armor, you saved me? Why?”
When she heard that Steel Armor had saved her, Valencia couldn’t hide her doubts. No matter how you think about it, it was because he, the villain, had no reason to save himself.
Then Steel Armor replied with a bitter smile (not visible because of the mask).
“I’ve been ordered to keep you alive.”
‘Have you received orders?’
Valencia widened her eyes.
S-class, perhaps the strongest among the S-class villains, Steel Armor receives someone’s orders?
For a moment, imaginations were running wild in his head.
The imagination that here in the Dark City, the Shadow Killer, or even more, is plotting a plan he couldn’t even imagine!
It was a big shock to Valencia, the head of the heroes who protect the Dark City.
‘Is there another organization in Dark City that I don’t know about? An existence that can command steel armor?’
Although Steel Armor was ordered to save Valencia. To today’s limited hero, Cutie Armor.
However, Steel Armor did not explain this fact to Valencia in detail, and the misunderstanding caused by it was getting deeper and deeper.
“Anyway, you owe me your life today?”
“So? Do you want anything in return?”
“Of course.”
“What?”
Steel Armor nodded his head as if it were natural.
“Then what am I going to do to save you with that precious life… No, use potions! Of course you have to pay. If it wasn’t for me, you would have died. That’s what I saved. Thank you man.”
“Thank you, but…”
“Then, of course, you have to pay for it.”
“So what do you want to receive?”
“I don’t know about that yet.”
“What?”
“I’ll get it later. Don’t know the deferred payment? Deferred payment? Later, when I need it, please listen to my request. Of course, it’s not a request to risk your life or sell a colleague, so don’t worry.”
“…”
Valencia struggled to figure out the purpose of the steel armor in her head. For what purpose did the steel armor, no, the darkness behind it save him?
“Anyway, I’m fine now, so let’s go up.”
“Hmm? Um… I guess I should. But how did you save me? You said you used a potion earlier? What potion is it?”
“Uh-huh! That’s my trade secret! Don’t try to find out. It hurts.”
Steel Armor’s trade secret is the human potion.
Anyway, supported by Steel Armor, Valencia started walking slowly. Although her body was fully restored, only her injuries were restored, and she was not yet strong enough to walk.
“Ugh!”
“Uh uh uh! Be careful!”
As Valencia stumbled with his legs weak, Steel Armor hurriedly grabbed him. However, the look was quite odd. His left arm was wrapped around his waist and his right hand gripped his neck.
To someone who doesn’t know what happened here, it will look like Steel Armor is trying to strangle Valencia.
‘Oh, I can’t believe that will happen…’
“Steel Armor!!!!!!!!!!”
“…Is it happening?”
Bang-!
“Kek?!”
The steel armor was kicked by a nine-tailed fox and flew backwards. He kicked so hard that he flew through the wall.
“I can’t even touch the president of the association! Die!”
“Uh… Miho, wait a minute. Miho? Miho!”
He collapsed on the floor as his legs gave out and called for a nine-tailed fox, but she couldn’t hear it as she witnessed Steel Armor’s attempt to kill (?) The president of the association.
“I’ll kill you, steel armor!”
The kumiho’s eyes turned upside down.
