Chapter 455 – #456 Aquagirl Caught in a Trap (2)
#456 Aquagirl caught in a trap (2)
Ping-!
“Ugh!”
As the bullet grazed her forearm, Aqua Girl quickly hid behind cover. There were many abandoned materials in the factory, so there were many places to hide.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-!
Realizing they couldn’t kill the imprisoned Viktor, the KTV agents switched their target and opened fire on Aqua Girl, who was hiding behind cover.
“Stop! That’s aaaaah!!! What are you doing, you bastards!!!!!”
The Jelly Master screamed and stopped the KTV agents. Then the barrage of bullets stopped.
“You bastards! You have to kill Victor. Why are you shooting at Aquagirl! You want to die?!”
It was a situation where Aqua Girl could have died, so the Jelly Master was very angry.
Chow la la la rock-!
“Die fuck!”
“Ouch!”
His arm extended like a tentacle and pierced the heart of the nearest KTV agent. The KTV agent, whose heart was pierced in an instant, trembled and fell limp.
Chew-!
When the Jelly Master retrieved his arm, which had stretched out like his tentacle, something surprising happened.
“…”
The dead KTV agent rose again. Even the pierced area was healing rapidly.
“…!”
‘He survived?!’
Aquagirl was stunned by that sight.
As she knows, KTV agents are a special unit made up of ordinary people without superpowers. However, the dead healed their wounds and came back to life.
That was a superpower for anyone to see. There was no way to explain it unless it was psychic.
“… Quit!”
Aqua Girl was terribly taken aback, but soon regained her composure. As she worked with Ice Queen, she learned a lot from her.
It can be embarrassing in life-threatening situations. Everyone has no choice but to panic when their lives are threatened.
However, it is foolish and unheroic to lose one’s life while panicking.
Thanks to the steel armor, her psychic level has increased, and she is an aqua girl who has grown mentally thanks to the Ice Queen.
She calmly thought what she should do now.
It is unknown why the Jelly Master betrayed them and why they are targeting them. But that doesn’t matter.
The important thing now is that Jelly Master and KTV agents are his enemies.
‘Can I defeat all enemies by myself?’
She asked herself a question, and the answer came right away.
‘Impossible.’
If the KTV agents are ordinary people, there is a possibility. Because the Jelly Master doesn’t know that he has the power of an A-class hero. The enemy’s carelessness was a good support.
But just before that, she saw with her own eyes the dead KTV agent whose heart had been pierced through, and was brought back to life. She likely had psychic powers, not just that agent, but other agents as well.
Also, the current position was not good. She hid behind cover, but agents surrounded her.
It was not a good location, but it was impossible for Aquagirl to fight and win alone against multiple enemies who even possessed supernatural powers.
It is impossible to fight alone. If so, you must have a colleague to fight with you.
‘Victor.’
Closest to him is Viktor, a B-class hero with the superpower of Body Enhancer (Lv. 7). But right now it was impossible for him to help himself.
If he hadn’t used the Aqua Ball skill quickly, Viktor would have collapsed into a beehive. And as soon as the skill is released, a barrage of bullets from the agents will pour out.
So, he had to focus the attention of the Jelly Master and agents on himself, then release the skill and let Viktor join the battle.
‘Lonister and Eyes… Ah! Lonister! Eyes!’
Belatedly, it reminded me of the B-class heroes Lonister and Eyes, who were separated to monitor the secret passage. Two KTV agents followed the two men.
Since they were being attacked, there was a high probability that they were also being attacked.
‘… Damn.’
It was difficult to expect support from the two. Lonister also has the psychic ability to strengthen the body, but Eyes was a clairvoyant psychic. In the current situation, even if they came to help, it would not help at all.
Moreover, it was difficult to rule out the possibility that the two of them were sympathizers of the Jelly Master.
‘Is Viktor the only person I can trust so far?’
Since it is a body enhancer, it will last up to 5 minutes in an aqua ball. He had to make his enemies focus on him in 5 minutes.
‘Let’s ask for support…’
Aquagirl pressed the protruding part of the watch. Click-! There was a sound of something working and a signal was transmitted.
If you hold out a little longer, reinforcements will arrive…
“Quuck-kuh! Give up Aquagirl. The Hero Association doesn’t know what’s going on here. They can’t even send support signals. You see it on the ceiling over there? It’s a signal jammer. It’s a very expensive item.”
“…”
Aquagirl looked up at Jelly Master’s words and bit her lip. As he said, a square-shaped device was installed on the ceiling.
Reinforcements don’t come from the Hero Association.
“Whoa…”
Of course, she wasn’t an aqua girl who would give up. She looked around and searched her memory to locate the KTV agents.
Those who give up are not called heroes.
It was the teaching of Ice Queen, who is also a junior on the bed and a spiritual teacher.
Crucially, there was a reason she couldn’t give up.
‘I have to go on a date with my master tomorrow, but I can’t be beaten in a place like this!’
I’m going on a date with the owner in a few days! I could never die right before my date with my master.
“Come out, Aqua Girl, and say you’ll be my woman. Then in the break room, did you say master? You must be being threatened by some bad guy, right? That’s why you pushed me away. You’re not a dirty woman. I’ll protect you. Aqua girl!”
“… What are you talking about, that madman?”
Aqua Girl frowned at Jelly Master’s cry. Even if she writes a novel, how can she write it in her own way? I was definitely not insane.
‘For a moment? Rest area?’
When she said it was a break room, she searched for her memories. She mentions her master a few times as she rests with the Ice Queen in the common room.
However, no one listened to that except for the Ice Queen. She also had a clue. She was well aware that in front of other people she would be in trouble if she said Master blah blah.
So she only mentioned Master when no one was around, when she was alone with the Ice Queen. But she knows that…
‘A wiretapping device? No. Eavesdropping devices cannot be installed.’
At the Hero Association, preparations for eavesdropping devices were thorough. It is possible to install a wiretapping device, but the signal is detected as soon as it is activated.
If Jelly Master had installed a listening device and she could hear what she was saying, she would have been caught already.
‘How did you hear it? No, that’s not the point.’
It was a side issue, not a major one right now. The important thing for Aquagirl now was to buy time to save Victor against the multitude of enemies that surrounded her.
“Senior! Are you confessing to me now?”
“Yes! You pushed me away, but I still love you! It’s okay! I don’t think you’re dirty! So come back to me!”
When Aqua Girl asked, the answer came right away. It was such an obsession that I got tired of it. He was happy when his master was obsessed with him, but it was terrible when the Jelly Master was obsessed with him.
“I’m sorry, senpai! I still can’t like you!”
“Kuh! It’s okay! I can love you no matter what you’ve been through!”
“No that’s not it!”
“Huh?”
Aqua Girl told me why she rejected Jelly Master’s confession.
“Senior is not my style!”
“… What?”
“Senpai, do you look in the mirror? You are so ugly!”
“What…?”
The shocked Jelly Master stumbled.
However, Aquagirl’s mental attack, no, mental counterattack, had just begun.
“Senior’s head is too big!
“That, there?! You’re not talking about that place… Oh, no! I’m not small! I’m above average!”
“No! Senpai is below average!”
“Did you see mine?! Don’t call me small if you’ve never seen one!”
“Senpai’s suit is so tight! Wearing something so tight, you can tell the size even if you don’t want to see it! Senpai, that’s below average!”
“…”
“And this is what I hate the most… Sunbaenim is so ugly! He’s really so ugly! I think he’s the ugliest thing in the world! His beard grows weird! His breath smells bad! I really hate it!”
“…”
Aquagirl’s mental counterattack was very effective!
The Jelly Master staggered in shock. This was the first time in my life that I had been called ugly so many times. Even the person who said that was an aqua girl, so the shock came in twice.
The Jelly Master, who was in shock for a moment, regained consciousness.
“Kuh, keuh…! It doesn’t matter though! You can fix your face! I’ll make you love me!”
Jelly Master’s body turned into jelly like the first time he handled the grenade. Gently slipping out of the suit, he dove towards the cover where Aquagirl was hiding.
“Aquaball!”
Aqua Girl, who had been preparing in advance, used the Water Drop skill at the Jelly Master flying from above.
“Aqua Girl!!!”
However, the Jelly Master evaded her attack by twisting her body flexibly even in the air. And ran to her
“Oops!”
Aqua Girl hurriedly rolled over to avoid the Jelly Master who was attacking her.
Do-do-do-do-do-!
As she came out of her cover, she was showered with bullets from waiting KTV agents. Aqua Girl moved as swiftly as her body enhancers to hide behind cover out of reach of the agents.
‘Thank you, Master! I really love you! I love Gina unnie too!’
In her heart, she thanked Steel Armor and Gina for giving her a Sanctuary Armor imprinted with her body enhancer psychic powers.
If it wasn’t for the Sanctuary Armor, it would have become a beehive right away.
“Don’t shoot you bastards! I’ll really kill them all!!!”
The fact that she shot her at Aqua Girl again angered the Jelly Master.
Procrastinate-!
His body swelled greatly, and gray skin sprouted over the jelly. And sharp tentacles sprouted from the gray skin in all directions.
Puff-puff-!
The thorny tentacles pierced the KTV agents. All areas that were penetrated were vital, such as the forehead, heart, and neck.
But this time, the KTV agents didn’t die either. They turned into jelly and escaped from the thorny tentacles, just like the Jelly Masters.
“Ugh… That was dangerous…”
Meanwhile, Aquagirl let out a sigh of relief as she saw the thorny tentacles stuck at her feet. In her moment, her Jelly Master, furious to the tip of her head, attacked her as well for her mistake.
“Ah… My aqua girl. I’m sorry. Did I startle you? I’ll protect you so those worms don’t attack you. Stay with me forever.”
“Really senior? Will you really protect me?”
“Sure! Of course!”
“Um… I don’t like it! Because you’re ugly!”
“… You fucking bitch!!!!!!!”
When Aqua Girl attacked her mind again, saying she was ugly, her Jelly Master screamed. He then spewed her thorny tentacles at her.
Aquagirl leisurely dodged his attack. It was slow enough to cause a yawn, so he could easily dodge it.
“… Uh?”
Jelly Master, who went into a frenzy and continued attacking with thorn tentacles, only then realized that something was wrong. My body was very heavy.
“The bigger it is, the easier it is to fit.”
In preparation for her accidental shooting, Aqua Girl, who hid behind a cover, fired a water drop skill at her Jelly Master.
Normally, it takes about 5 seconds to cast because it is large enough to cover a person, but if the size is small like now, the casting time could be lowered to less than 1 second.
Pop-! Pop-! Pop-! Pop-!
The small waterdrop skill hit the Jelly Master’s body.
His body grew heavier.
“… Ah.”
Only then did Jelly Master come to mind. I wonder why Aquagirl was able to become a specialist in arresting villains.
Aqua Girl had the [Increase weight] Trait, and with the effect of this trait, when she touches the water she handles, her entire body becomes heavy as if she were drowning.
Pop-! Pop-! Pop-!
“…”
Drenched in water and heavy, the Jelly Master raised his head. Water was dripping from the ceiling. When he rushed at Aquagirl earlier, it was a drop of water from her.
At the time of the first attack, Aquagirl had no intention of hitting the Jelly Master in the first place. What she was aiming for was the ceiling.
Drops of water hit the ceiling and fell down, and the water fell on the Jelly Master’s body.
“You know what, senior? You’re the ugliest guy in the world.”
“This, this bitch…!”
“And I have a bad memory.”
Chew-!
There was the sound of water bursting behind me.
“Jelly Master!”
B-class hero Viktor jumped out of the water. Grabbing the steel club slung over his back, he hit the Jelly Master with all his might.
