Chapter 210 – #211 the Power of Bonds
#211 The Power of Bonds
Being pulled down to the ground did not mean that the Siren would be an easy opponent. Rather, it was just the beginning.
[Kyaaaaagh-!]
The enraged siren screamed and swung at her leg.
Thud-!
The sand on the beach was hollowed out.
With her wings immobilized by the White Knight and Pierrot, and the mind attack through her song also blocked by the Hive Master, the Siren’s only means of attack now are her two legs and her ability to manipulate water.
“Damage!”
“Get on!”
Headed by the head of the Valencia Association, the tough guy, the six-legged heroes evaded the Siren’s attack and clung to her legs or her body. They charged from all sides like a swarm of ants hunting insects larger than themselves.
“Haaaaagh!”
And among them was the Ice Queen.
The power of her deeper chill created a scaffold of ice in the air around her with each swing of her hand. The Ice Queen ran up her ice steps and headed for the siren’s head.
I turned around and moved quite a distance toward the back of the siren’s head, condensing her cold air. It was her ultimate skill, Ice Fury. From the start, I could feel her wicked (?) Will to launch her special move.
“Ice Ray…”
Finishing her preparations, she tried to blast her icy fury at the back of the siren’s head.
Chaaaaagh-!
“Wow?!”
But before that, her waterspout rose from her sea and overtook her. Suffering from an unexpected surprise attack, she fell helplessly, and Ice Queen’s ultimate skill flew into the air.
This was the ice queen’s mistake for seeing the siren too easily.
In the first place, she was a Siren who used these two great skills at the same time: song and dragon stream. It was strange not to notice her, since she was so chilled that the back of her head was cold.
“You have to be careful.”
“Thank you… Huh?”
Someone snatched the ice queen from the fall.
The Ice Queen, who thought she was one of the heroes, thanked him, and felt that her voice in her ears and her strong arms hugging her seemed familiar.
“Everything, you…!”
The Ice Queen raised her head in surprise. It was because the person who saved her was none other than Steel Armor.
“You? Did you decide to call me that already? I prefer to call you self or master.”
Somehow, Steel Armor scratched the back of my head as if it were embarrassing.
“…”
The Ice Queen looked at him with absurd eyes.
*****
“That’s the problem with the Hero Association! Why don’t they do anything in return? At least the magpies return the favor! Don’t you know the story of the magpie that repaid the favor?!”
“Yes?”
This bastard, or this woman?
“Look at this! Even now, you’re just hanging around! I’m talking! You haven’t listened to what I’ve said until now, right? You bastard…”
Oh, isn’t this?
“Hmmmm! You’re not young, but anyway! When people are talking, you have to answer straight and listen. Where do you answer in a careless way! Your parents teach you that…”
Oh, you said he was the last survivor of the nine-tailed fox clan, right? So your parents are both dead?
‘Phew! I almost threw a pad lip.’
“Hmmmm!”
“?”
“?”
“??”
“??”
The nine-tailed fox looked at me and tilted his head. So I also tilted my head while looking at the gumiho. I tilted her head as she tilted her head away from her.
“Now… What are you talking about? And what are you talking about that you saved the president of the association?”
Reel? I don’t know?
“What are you talking about? I saved the president of your association from almost dying.”
“So, how did you save the president of the association?”
“What? Didn’t you really know? Didn’t the president of the association tell you?”
“…”
Seeing no reply, it seemed that he hadn’t really said anything. This man, or this bastard? Didn’t I tell you something so important?
Then what can I tell you?
The truth of my words will be known if you listen to the president of the Valencia Association. If you know what I’m saying is true, you’ll feel good about me, right?
Perhaps he would sacrifice himself as a reward for saving the president of the association. Then honey!
“Therefore…”
It was the moment when I just opened my mouth.
“Wow?!”
“Huh?””
A familiar scream was heard. When I turned my head, I saw the ice queen falling down after being hit by a tornado.
“What the fuck?!”
Sparks flew from her eyes. Siren dare to touch my girl?!
I can’t stand touching myself, but I absolutely can’t stand touching my woman.
“I’ve been looking for you, you bastard!”
“Uh, uh uh…”
Leaving her nine-tailed fox, it ricocheted off her like a bullet. Maybe it’s because I took a break while eating popcorn, so I’m full of energy.
“Gatcha!”
Before the Ice Queen fell into the sea, she managed to snatch her. A man like me, I’m so fucking cool
“You have to be careful.”
“Thank you… Huh?”
The Ice Queen obediently thanked me. Normally, he looks like an angry cat, but when I look at him like this, he looks like a calm cat.
“Everything, you…!”
She looked up at me and the Ice Queen was startled. Under her ice mask, her pupils widened.
Ice Queen called me… You…
“You? Did you decide to call me that already? I prefer to call you self or master.”
Of the two, I prefer the title of master. Call me Master Ice Queen!
“What bullshit are you talking about!”
“…”
It seems that it is a hero’s specialty to shut his mouth when he helps. Still, my Ice Queen is my woman, so I should forgive her.
“Where are you not hurt?”
“Uh…”
She moaned like the Ice Queen who had been yelling at me was suddenly silenced. Both of her cheeks even turned red. Are you really not sick?
“Your cheeks are red? Where are you really hurt?”
“Everything, I’m not hurt… That, rather than that, let this go.”
“Huh? Oh yes.”
As she got off her arms, the Ice Queen turned around and let out a big breath. She was breathing so hard that her shoulders moved up and down.
“Anyway, you’re out now.”
“What?”
“It’s dangerous, so step back.”
“… No.”
“What?”
The Ice Queen looked up at me as if she had blushed when she said.
“I’m a hero. I can’t run away from monsters.”
“… Okay?”
The way she was talking to me was so serious that she couldn’t tell me to back off quickly without talking nonsense. Yes my girl should be like this
“Then shall we fight together?”
“You want to fight together?”
“Yeah. Villain Steel Armor and the hero Ice Queen team up against a common enemy. It’s not the first… But the second time a villain and a hero join hands. A temporary alliance, for example? How about it?”
“…”
“Right now, isn’t the fact that I’m a villain is a bigger problem than a monster that can cause thousands of casualties?
“I am…”
The ice queen hesitated and replied. Hearing her answer, I smiled.
*****
[Kyaaaaagh-!]
Thud-!
“Aagh!”
“Damn!”
Indeed, a monster was a monster. Despite being unable to fly, the Siren’s destructive power was enormous.
With each swing of her foot, her sand flew through the air and dented the floor. Besides, because she couldn’t fly, the waterspout that flew from the sea became stronger than before.
“Aaaaagh!”
The Flame Witch, who was blocking the whirlwind, was screaming and pouring psychic powers into the fire spirit Ifrit.
“Whoop whoop.”
“Sword wind!”
In the sky, White Knights and Wind Lines were providing air support. The heroes clung to the body of the siren, but she was so big that she had many places to attack.
“Haaaaagh!”
“Pour all your strength!”
“We have to deal with the sirens here!”
Melee heroes relentlessly rushed and attacked the Siren. Even if he was blown away by the siren’s kick, he got up like a tumbler and rushed again.
From a distance, it looked like a group of ants attacking prey much larger than themselves.
But sirens were never prey. Rather, she belonged to a predator.
[Kyaaaaa!!!]
“Quaaaaagh!”
Thud-!
“Dmitriyyy!!!!!”
A hero was kicked without being able to avoid the Siren’s feet. Launching her hero upward as if trapping her ball, the Siren snatched it up with her feet and slammed it into the ground.
She was an A-class hero with body enhancer superpowers, but was unable to withstand the strength and weight of her siren. Pressure from all sides of her crushed Hero’s bones and organs. A hero named Dmitri died in battle.
It was the first death.
The enraged heroes attacked the Siren with all their strength, but their attacks seldom did much damage to the Siren.
This is because feathers longer than most adult males prevented their attacks. Because of the feathers, I couldn’t get a proper hit.
“What?!”
“Aagh!”
The number of heroes who fell like that increased one by one. As the number of combatants decreased, the burden on the heroes who had to block the Siren’s attack increased.
“Damn it! Haaaaa!”
As the bloody heroes continued to fall, the president of the Valencia Association screamed and attacked the Siren more violently.
Because of his experience with the Siren, he brought out the Siren custom strategy. He placed the heroes in the right place, and the operation actually worked as he planned.
However, that alone could not defeat the Siren.
Siren’s strength was beyond what he thought.
It had to be. Twenty years ago, the head of the Valencia Association was only a B-class hero, not an S-class hero.
Because I was there, I could only indirectly experience how strong and terrifying the Siren were, but I couldn’t feel it directly.
“Watch out for Valencia!”
“Hmm? Big?!”
The head of the Valencia Association, who was attacking the siren in anger, came to his senses belatedly at the tough guy’s cry. But literally, I came to my senses really belatedly.
Aww-!
“Turn it off!”
At some point, the siren’s feet snatched his body. The siren squeezed his feet as if they were going to crush him to death.
Because he was a level 10 body enhancer, his body didn’t burst like pudding right away, but he didn’t know how long he would last.
“No!”
“Chief of the Association!”
The heroes who saw the crisis of the head of the Valencia Association tried to move to save him. But there was someone who moved first.
“Everybody get out of the way!”
“Huh?”
Pajijik-!
Black shadows engulfed in lightning passed by the heroes. Then, he hit the leg that was holding the president of the association as hard as he could.
The heroes who saw Spark thought that the owner of the black shadow was the Zenophile. But he wasn’t. He had a blank look behind him.
“Steel… Armor?”
Seeing the man who came out to save the president of the association, the Genafiler muttered in disbelief.
Yes.
Surprisingly, the man wearing lightning and trying to save the president was a steel armor.
“Turn it off!”
“Ah, sorry. But it’s an S-class hero, so be patient!”
Steel Armor clad in lightning apologized in a shy voice when he saw the president of the Valencia Association being destroyed by his own lightning.
“You bastard! Are you planning to kill the association president?!”
“I’m sorry!”
The Ice Queen, who was flying an ice pick from a little distance away, screamed at Steel Armor. Steel Armor then apologized to her as well.
“What is this…”
“Why is Steel Armor here…?”
The heroes who fell into panic at the moment were at a loss as to how to accept this. I couldn’t understand why the villain, especially the notorious S-class villain Steel Armor, was here, and why he was trying to help the president of the Valencia Association.
“Ugya gyaya gyakya!”
Holding one of the four forked feet, the steel armor began to lift it with a strange spirit. Surprisingly, his foot, which was holding the Valencia president, began to rise.
No, it wasn’t a raised level.
“Euuuuu!”
Kwajik-!
[Kieeeee-!]
My feet couldn’t straighten up and they broke altogether. The siren screamed at the pain felt in her legs. She missed the head of the Valencia Association, which was being held by the Siren who couldn’t overcome the pain.
“Take it Ice Queen!”
“Hey you crazy bastard!”
The ice queen screamed at the action of grabbing the head of the Valencia Association by the scruff of her neck and throwing it behind her. But even in the midst of that, she made an ice sheet in the air and succeeded in receiving her association president and bringing it to her place.
[Churrrr…]
Hehe.”
The siren glared at her steel armor with her furious eyes. Even in the predator’s eyes, she felt no fear, but instead she burst into laughter.
“Should we play the 2nd match? Oppa prepared something very exciting for you. It’s so good that you’ll lose it, right?”
Pajik-! Pajijik-!
Her sparks flew from Steel Armor’s body. He shouted with a fishy smile behind his mask.
“Come on! Go my heroes! Love! Faith! Hope! Show that monstrous monster the power of our bond!”
“…”
“…”
There were no moving heroes.
