Chapter 825 – Side Story 328 the Dark Knight Rises (10)
Side Story 328) The Dark Knight Rises (10)
The hero association was where dozens of black vehicles that were speeding down the road stopped.
“Huh? What’s all that?”
“Are there any events at the Hero Association?”
As dozens of vehicles stopped at once in front of the Hero Association, people walking down the street stopped and looked at the vehicles.
“… Uh, huh?”
“What, what are those?!”
And soon they were horrified to see people getting out of the car. It was because they were holding in their hands bloody weapons such as knives, axes, and guns.
“Kyaaaaah
“Run away!”
People hastily moved away from the Hero Association. There is no way that those who came with good intentions could hold such a formidable weapon in their hands.
“They… Are the Floen family!”
“Damn it! What are they doing all of a sudden?! Are they crazy?!”
“Don’t talk like that, go inside and tell the news!”
The guards, realizing that the identities of the insane attacking the Hero Association in broad daylight were none other than the Ploen family, hurriedly reported the news inside. At the same time, they formed a defensive line using their psychic powers.
The Hero Association’s guards were also psychic. They only narrowly failed to pass the test, and if you look at their superpowers themselves, they are C-class hero-level abilities!
“Hold on until the heroes come!”
A guard shouted as he used his shield psychic power in front. This is the Hero Association, which can be said to be the courtyard of heroes, and reinforcements will arrive in less than a minute.
Even the Ploen family can survive for a minute…
Pyuuuuu-!
“Hey you crazy bastards!”
Watching the missiles flying towards the shield, the guards screamed as if they were screaming.
Kwaaaaang-!
A rapidly flying missile hit the guard’s shield and exploded. No matter how much the security guards possess superpowers equivalent to those of C-class heroes, it was impossible to withstand the explosive power of the missiles.
“Aaaaagh?!”
A guard with eyes closed, waiting for the pain to come soon. But no matter how long he waited, neither pain nor death came.
“… What?”
“Are you Park Tae-soo?”
“Yes? Yes, yes… Uh? Uh uh?”
What came to him was a gentle voice. As if drawn by the siren’s song, the guard looked at the woman standing in front of him.
She is a woman wearing a white costume and a mask made of ice on her face.
A large block of ice stood in front of her woman like a wall. Missiles flying towards the guards could not penetrate the ice wall.
“Tongue, president of the Association?!”
The guards, who immediately recognized the identity of her woman, were astonished at her. She is a woman because she is none other than the president of the Hero Association, and she is the Ice Queen, an S-class hero who is respected and loved by all heroes and citizens.
The Ice Queen even knows her own name!
‘I don’t have time to die now…’
The guard who came back from the dead shed tears of emotion and thought that he had no regrets even if he died.
“You’re such a brave person. Not to back down even when the Floen family and not other villains appeared.”
“Yeah? Uh, I just…”
“There will be a test next month to elect a new hero. If you have any ideas, please apply. Our Hero Association wants brave heroes like you.”
“Yes! Definitely! I will definitely apply!”
No one else but the Ice Queen herself said that! The security guard whose tear faucet burst burst into tears of emotion.
“Now go inside and evacuate the people. From now on…”
The Ice Queen murmured as she looked ahead, no, beyond the ice wall with cold eyes.
“It’s going to be very dangerous here.”
*****
The Ice Queen, who blocked the missiles from the Ploen family with an ice barrier, sent the guards and other civilians who could not escape to the Hero Association.
And looked at the barrier. Through the frozen barrier, the silhouettes of the Floen family were visible. I could feel their anger even as I looked over the barrier.
‘Why are they suddenly doing that?’
The Ice Queen couldn’t hide her embarrassment at their sudden attack.
It is true that the Ploen family is the most powerful villain group in Dark City, but they have been showing a change recently.
Of course, it is difficult to hold legal responsibility for the crimes they have committed so far.
However, in any case, the clearing up of the past by the most dangerous people in the Dark City was welcomed with double arms from the Ice Queen’s point of view, who is responsible for the safety of the Dark City.
That’s why I reduced the number of guards deployed in the Ploen family area, but I never thought they would do something like this…
‘…Could it be because of the godmother and the speed road?’
The Ice Queen recalled the godmother and speed road raid that had happened not too long ago.
It was the only opportunity for the Ploen family, which had been as quiet as a lake, to commit crazy acts to attack the Hero Association.
However, there is one thing that cannot be explained.
‘Then why are they attacking us?’
If you’re looking for the culprit who attacked the godmother and the speed road, it doesn’t make sense to do this here.
‘… A conspiracy.’
With the junk food she accumulated while working as a hero, the Ice Queen noticed at once that there was a hidden culprit behind the Ploen family’s attack.
To solve this problem, you need to talk to the godmother’s children.
“…”
Squeak-
After tidying up how she should act, the Ice Queen lifted her ice barrier. She and she faced the Ploen family full of life.
“…”
Robert came out as a representative and stood in front of the Ice Queen.
Now that her godmother has gone missing, the leader of the Ploen family is her eldest son, Robert. He was a man with the ability and charisma to match.
Ice Queen and Robert Ploen.
The heads of the two giant organizations stood facing each other.
“What is this, Robert?”
The first to get lucky was Ice Queen.
“The current action is an attack on the Hero Association, can we accept it that way?”
“It’s not an attack.”
Robert denies it was an attack.
“It’s a counterattack.”
His eyes were filled with anger, like a ticking time bomb.
“… Counterattack?”
“Yes. Did you think we wouldn’t know? Ice Queen, I thought you would be different… I was wrong.”
“You really think we, or I, attacked the godmother and the speed lord?”
“…”
Silent Robert, silence was affirmation. Then the Ice Queen made her face and said.
“I don’t know where you heard that, but it’s a misunderstanding. We didn’t attack the Godmother and Speed Lord.”
“The dog head is already blown. Don’t be abominable.”
“…Doghead?”
At the word Doghead, the Ice Queen made an impression. What the hell did he say that made Robert react this way?
‘… No, that’s not what’s important right now.’
“Where is Doghead now? We’ll interrogate him.”
What matters is that Dog Head is involved in the chain of events. Now we have to clear up the misunderstanding with the Ploen family and find out how much Dog Head was involved and how many people are connected.
“Why? Are you going to silence him if I hand him over?”
However, there was no way that Robert would hand over the dog head, which could be said to be an important witness.
“Robert!”
“Ice Queen. You and the heroes will pay for what you did.”
Robert declares war.
Susut-!
When he used his psychic powers, red energy rose like a haze. With her explosive momentum, the Ice Queen quickly fell behind her, and Robert lunged at her like a beast chasing her prey.
Damn-!
A wall of ice built once again.
Quaang-!
The ice built by the Ice Queen was easily shattered with Robert’s punch. Ice fragments scattered in all directions.
“Ha!”
As the Ice Queen spread her hands diagonally down, the scattered ice shards became daggers and flew towards Robert at once.
Amidst the ice fragments flying from all sides, Robert vigorously swung his fist. Every time he swings his fist, red aura rises like a haze and sweeps away shards of ice.
However, there were too many ice fragments, and Robert’s body was eventually scarred. Blood could be seen flowing through the torn clothes.
If Robert had the psychic power of a body enhancer, he would not have suffered so much damage, but his psychic power was the aesthetics of violence (Lv.
“… As expected, the Ice Queen, the reputation is unheard of.”
Looking down at the scars on his body, Robert marveled.
Ice Queen has been active as a hero for nearly 10 years. During that long time, she developed her own psychic powers through her practice, and as a result, she became one of the heroes representing the Dark City.
Even if it’s the same S class, the one who is strong enough to defeat the ice queen alone will count on her one hand.
“It might be worth killing.”
Robert smiled bitterly.
Usually he is a man as calm as a lake. He is reticent to the point of not revealing his feelings in quite a few things.
However, there is a moment where he burns like a hot-blooded cartoon character, and that was when he met a strong man like the Ice Queen.
‘The atmosphere… Has changed.’
Seeing Robert’s mood change, the Ice Queen raised her tension.
In Dark City, there are few strong enough to defeat the Ice Queen alone. And one of those few strong people was Robert.
Just as Ice Queen became stronger through combat experience, Robert was also a superhuman trained through countless combat experiences.
“Ice Queen!”
“Ahhhhh!”
Robert lunged at the Ice Queen again. The Ice Queen also created ice and confronted Robert.
“Let’s get started! Today, burn that fucking building down!”
Watching the battle between the two, the godmother’s second son, Max, shouted. Then, the Floen family prepared to attack the Hero Association.
But-
“Stop it, you villains!”
“I know where this is!”
“Ah… This is what happened after all.”
Heroes appeared from all directions, from the north, south, east and west. Thanks to this, the Ploen family was surrounded by heroes in an instant.
“… Hehe! Hehe! Now I think I’ll have a taste for it.”
Looking at the heroes surrounding them, Max laughed and shouted.
“Kill them all!!!!!”
The war between the Hero Association and the Floen family has begun.
