Chapter 478 – #479 Not Alone (1)
#479 Not Alone(1)
Meanwhile, in the Hero Association, a battle between S-class heroes and monsters was taking place.
Perhaps to make up for the lack of power, even the head of the Valencia Association wore the exclusive weapon he used during his active duty to deal with the monsters.
Of course, it was the S-class heroes who took the upper hand in battle.
Unlike monsters with dozens of superpowers, S-class heroes only had one superpower. And the heroes have developed that one superpower to the limit by investing a lot of time for decades.
The monsters were mere ordinary people without superpowers until they tasted the Unlucky. Giving them various weapons did not mean that they could beat the warriors who had invested countless hours in developing their own weapons.
It was thanks to the Jelly Master’s superpower [Regenerating Slime] That the monsters were able to survive without dying.
If it wasn’t for that, even if I had already died, I would have died a hundred more times. As the situation progressed, the S-class heroes also attacked the monsters with the intention of killing them.
In the struggle of the heroes, the monsters began to fall one by one.
It was thanks to the performance of the S-class hero [Ether]. Aether had a teleportation technique similar to that of a teleporter, and it neutralized monsters.
When the head of the Valencia Association or a tough guy tears the monster’s body apart, the ether transfers it to another space.
No matter how much Jelly Master had the psychic powers, it was impossible to regenerate if the body completely disappeared.
“Kick! Kieeaek!”
There were only five of the monsters left before we knew it. On the other hand, all S-class heroes were still in good health. A monster who realized the unfavorable situation let out a tearing scream, and the surviving monsters all started to run away.
“Don’t miss it!”
The monsters were followed by S-class heroes. I didn’t know what would happen if they went outside.
Damn-!
“Kikkiik?!”
At that time, the two monsters who were the first to escape from the control room froze as they were running. Ice Queen, who had been waiting in the basement auditorium, had come as a backup.
“Kick! Kick kick kick!”
Then the remaining three monsters scattered in different directions.
Clink-!
They jumped out the window without hesitation.
“No!”
Seeing that, the president of the Valencia Association screamed in fright. It was work time, so there were a lot of people on the street. In such a situation, it was obvious what would happen if monsters fell in the middle of people.
“Kyaaaaah
“What’s this?!”
Sure enough, people’s screams echoed through the broken windows. The head of the Valencia Association bit his lip and hurriedly chased the monster and jumped out of the window before the damage caused by the monster increased.
Even though he did not give a separate order, the heroes took care of themselves and pursued the monsters in different directions.
“Uh?”
And they saw
“?!?^@!$!%^#&#%^”
The appearance of monsters trapped in the water and struggling.
Like a castle wall, a huge water barrier surrounded the Hero Association. The head of the Valencia Association looked at the person who created the wonderful spectacle.
“…”
Like the goddess of water, the aqua girl wrapped in water controlled the water with her eyes closed.
Aqua Girl was like this?
The huge water barrier surrounding the entire Hero Association was truly amazing.
Damn-!
The Ice Queen wanders around the association, freezes the monsters trapped in the water prison, and returns to Aquagirl.
“Aquagirl, that’s enough.”
“… Ha.”
Only then did Aqua Girl sigh and open her eyes. At the same time, the water barrier that surrounded the Hero Association also poured to the floor.
“Kyaaak!”
“Wow?!”
The S-class heroes and citizens who were appreciating the marvelous appearance of Aqua Girl, known as the B-class hero, were struck by water from the dry sky. I was drenched like a mouse in water.
“…Aqua Girl?”
“Ah, hehe… I’m sorry.”
The seniors who were hit by the unexpected flood sent a stinging glare at Aquagirl. Stunned, she laughed bashfully to get out of the situation.
“Her…”
“That’s ridiculous…”
Seeing that, the senior heroes shook their heads. It was not because I was offended by Aqua Girl, but because I could feel her unpretentiousness uncharacteristic of a woman who just showed off her amazing abilities.
Well, it was wet, but it was much better than the deaths among the citizens.
“Let’s sort things out…”
The head of the Valencia Association tried to discuss the next thing after sorting out the situation. But the next thing he had to deal with came right away.
Uhhhhh-
“… What is that?”
“Fog?”
Fog appeared in the eyes of the heroes. It is also the fog that spreads simultaneously and rapidly.
The faces of the heroes hardened at the appearance of the fog, which could never be said to have occurred naturally.
“Kick-kick-kick!”
“Kieek!”
Monsters walked out of the fog.
“It’s too late to go to work today.”
“Keeeee!”
At the same time as the tough guy muttered, the monsters attacked.
*****
Area 85, where Steel Armor’s mansion is located, was also covered in fog, and monsters attacked.
However, there were fewer deaths here than in other districts because there was a Steel Armor team made up of Steel Armor women.
“Haaaaagh!”
“They’re coming from the left too!”
“I’ll stop you!”
At Raonjena’s cry, the flame’s location moved to the left. Raonjena’s keen sense of smell in the fog was of great help.
Being a monster did not necessarily mean screaming when a human was discovered.
This is different depending on the host, but in general, there were many cases in which the host was an ordinary person without superpowers. Since he had never had the power of a supernatural power in his life, he screamed out loud because of the exhilaration that comes from having it.
On the other hand, hosts who had extensive combat experience or had psychic powers originally, such as KTV agents, did not scream. Rather, like hunters, they keep their guard secret and attack their prey at the right moment.
The monsters currently facing Team Steel Armor were more of the latter than the former.
However, their perfect hunting methods became useless in front of Raonjena’s nose.
In addition, the team steel armor had a flame position.
“Become ashes!”
That’s a whopping level 11 unprecedented psychic powers.
Excluding the steel armor, she was the only person in the Dark City with level 11 superpowers.
Fire-!
“Keeeeey
The flames emanating from the fingertips of Flame Witch attacked the monsters who were secretly approaching from the left.
If the Ice Queen freezes the monsters and subdues them, the Flame Witch could have killed the monsters at all. If they burned and turned to ashes, it was impossible to regenerate them, no matter how they were.
“Kiik! Kick! Kiik!”
“Keeeee!!!!”
The monsters engulfed in flames struggled in pain. There were countless psychic powers in the tentacles they ate, but none of them could put out the fire or reduce the pain.
It was natural. It was the fire used by 11th-level, fire-type psychics. The flame she used could not be safe, even if it was a White Knight or even a Shadow Killer.
I tried rolling over on the floor to put out the fire, but it was no use. Eventually, the monsters became a handful of ashes.
Team Steel Armor, centered around Raonjenna and Flame Witch, quickly overpowered the monsters and eventually succeeded in dealing with all the monsters in Area 85.
Then the fog that had filled Area 85 also disappeared.
“Dark Lady. Where is the master now?”
“Currently, they are scattered and active, and they have deployed a defensive line centered on the hideout in Area 73.”
The Dark Lady quickly answered Flame Witch’s question. The reason she is here, not by her steel armor’s side, is because her steel armor sent her here.
“Then let’s go there too.”
“Yes. No matter how many masters there are, it will eventually become difficult over time.”
After a brief conversation, the women decided to head to Area 73, where the Steel Armor was located. It is safer to move together than to move separately.
“I… Will move separately.”
“What?”
“What do you mean? They move separately.”
At that time, the succubus declared a solo action. It was close to suicide to move alone in a situation where monsters might appear anytime and anywhere. The women looked at the succubus in amazement.
“… The kids can’t reach me. I guess I’ll have to go and check.”
“Hey guys…”
Raonjena remembered who the ‘children’ the succubus was referring to. She said that the succubus had younger sisters that she had been with since childhood.
The back world was too harsh for a woman alone, and for a young woman with no place to lean on. In such a place, women such as succubus, Lamia, and Lexi depended on each other and survived together.
Even though they were not related by blood, they were like real sisters.
So, it was only natural that he was worried about his younger siblings, whom he could not contact.
“Do we really need to move separately? Let’s just go together.”
“Yes. And while moving, I take all the other people’s families with me and move.”
Raon Jenna proposed, and her flame position struck her nodding in agreement.
“Everyone… Thank you so much.”
The succubus, moved by the words that he would go along a potentially dangerous road without hesitation, brought tears to his eyes.
“Where is the nearest place from here? My younger siblings are also psychic, so they should be able to withstand it. So, save the other family members first.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
At the words of the succubus, Raonjena, the Flame Witch, and the Dark Lady looked at each other without saying a word. An awkward atmosphere continued with no one opening their mouths.
“Well, don’t hesitate and speak comfortably. I’m fine.”
The succubus, who thought everyone was giving in, told me to speak comfortably, but
“I’m an orphan. They all died young.”
Raon Jenna shrugged her shoulders.
“Me too. There is a man called my father… But I don’t really want to save him because he’s a scumbag who tried to rape me when I was 10 years old. Well, I don’t know where he lives.”
He said as if the position of the frame was insignificant.
“I don’t even know where I live because I cut ties with my family.”
This was the Dark Lady’s answer.
“…”
A look of awkwardness appeared on the impressed succubus face.
How can we get together like this? There are four people, but three of them have no family. But to be exact, the real family of the succubus also died a long time ago, so in the end all four had a similar past.
“… Then, shall we just go rescue my younger siblings?”
“Okay.”
“I see.”
“You take the lead.”
After going around and around, the decision was made to save the younger siblings of the succubus. They headed to the hotel where their siblings were staying.
