87 – Curtain Call (1)
“…Boss, when are you coming?”
-I’m on my way now. Along with that, I also took care of my new colleagues.
Then I think you should come as soon as possible. Sanghoon swallowed his words and looked at Zero and Chaeyoung.
I was once surprised that the two knew each other, and I was surprised again that a soft voice came out of the mouth of Hero, who always spewed harsh words, and Zero was surprised again because they continued their silent conversation as if that fact was natural. – First of all, the current situation was not the time to be this relaxed.
“I was just planning to make a fuss and run away, but things got messed up like this again.”
“I came because the boss said I could go back, but I should have just stayed with him. “Then I would have run away while you searched.”
“Aren’t these words too harsh?”
Eun-ji, who infiltrated the inside of the concert hall and returned under the boss’ orders, and Sang-hoon and Zero, who were waiting in the car.
Numerous heroes have found them and are surrounding them. Is it planned that he’s acting like that, as if he doesn’t care about the collapsing opera house?
So, the heroes’ goal was repentance from the beginning? Sang-hoon clicked his tongue and looked away after checking the butterflies flying above their heads.
-You can’t let us go, right?
But does not attacking right now mean that there is room for a solution through dialogue? Of course, that would not happen, but despite this, Sang-hoon, facing the dark reality, felt the cold touch of his hand in his pocket and prayed earnestly to a god he did not believe in –
“-I have to take him by force.”
“f*ck. “I thought it was going well, but as expected!”
Even if there was a God, there was no way a God he had never believed in would grant his wish.
Chaeyoung shouted while looking at Zero with burning eyes. Seeing her rushing towards them with the suddenly created huge greatsword in her hand, she screamed and pulled out her gun.
“I’m going to stop that b*tch!”
“Then I am the rest!”
Eun-ji and Sang-hoon quickly decide on their roles and run away, as if their bickering was a lie.
Grrr
“Ash! The ability is flame-heat type! “Support-“
In an instant, her massive flames soared and engulfed her surroundings, and her heroes rushed to unleash their powers on her –
“f*ck. “My abilities are useless in times like this…!”
Sanghoon immediately aimed the gun at Chaeyoung and fired.
Bang! Taang!
Pick up the gun, aim, and shoot. It was a neat movement that took only 3 seconds and had been repeated countless times during my time as a villain, but-
Keying! Kagagak-
“f*ck.”
When you swing a sword larger than your own body, the bullet bounces off. At the same time, Sang-hoon, who witnessed the rush of swords, swore and threw himself to the side.
Quaaa!
The moment he dodged it, the great sword stuck where he was.
“Crazy, how strong is he?”
When the sword is pierced, there is a tremendous roar and the ground shakes as if an earthquake has occurred. Sang-hoon, who witnessed the scene, groaned on the concrete floor without even thinking about getting up, but then he was startled, gritted his teeth, and pushed the ground with both arms and rolled.
Quaaa!
“…Huh?!”
He missed again, but this time the sword narrowly passed by and stuck in front of his nose.
But just from the aftermath, Sang-hoon flew into the sky as if he had been thrown off-
“-Fox Rain.”
The moment I momentarily said goodbye to the ground, when I heard Chaeyoung’s voice, I realized that countless swords were glaring at me from the sky, reflecting the sun’s rays and shining.
“I’m going crazy!”
From Noble mtl dot com
My body has already been in the air for a long time. Swords were raining down from the sky, rushing to pierce his body, and he let out a scream as he realized that he could not escape with his own strength.
If things continue like this, he will immediately become a hedgehog. There is only one person who can save him from this situation.
Charang!
Just before Sang-hoon was pierced by the swords, a small firefly flew past his body and floated upward.
It was so small that it began to rush towards the swords that were pouring in, making a refreshing bell sound –
Paaang!
In an instant, an intense light emitted and oxidized, and the swords completely disappeared as if they had never existed from the beginning.
A miraculous sight that erased the current No. 1 Hero’s superpowers in an instant.
“…Thank you!”
Sanghoon, who landed safely on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, immediately lowered his head and shouted at Zero, who had created this miracle, but Zero only broke into a cold sweat without even having time to nod.
“-You’ve honed your abilities quite a bit!”
Chaeyoung, who had just witnessed a miraculous scene, changed her target and shouted as she swung her sword at Zero. He barely managed to dodge it, but he was in a situation where he could barely avoid it.
“What is this?!”
“Ability-“
The level that Zero has reached is somewhere between the beginning and the middle of 10,000.
Now that the four fireflies flying in the sky are emitting brilliant light in the sky, and most heroes have their abilities sealed –
“Villain Ash. Now stop being caught obediently!”
“You’re being damned. “Would you get caught?”
In a situation where prominent top heroes are gathered, there are bound to be those who can use superpowers without being affected by Zero’s abilities.
Should he seal the abilities of the heroes, should he save his colleagues from the heroes who move without being affected by his abilities, should he run away from Chaeyoung, who is swinging a sword at him?
Zero, who was sweating coldly as he thought that there were not even ten of his body left, was suddenly frightened as he saw dozens of daggers flying in front of his nose.
Charang! Paaa!
“Hmm. It’s pretty tricky. “It felt like this when I actually sparred with Yeonseo.”
A firefly oxidizes again, emitting intense light. Chaeyoung, who was glaring at the swords that had completely disappeared, clicked her tongue and opened her mouth –
“Continuously restricts the use of abilities against those whose level of ability is lower than one’s own, and consumes tokens to temporarily erase their abilities against those whose level is similar or stronger, and then looks for a loophole – If you are an ordinary person with abilities, you will be embarrassed and “It is a strategy that can be defeated.”
Anti super power. An entity that is no different from a counter to a superpower. If the person with the ability has excellent physical ability, it can deal a blow to those who only believe in their abilities and go wild – the strongest ability limited to those with the ability.
“But. “That also applies to those who are weak to some extent.”
“……!”
Chaeyoung tilted her head to dodge the dagger that was swung at her without any problem, and spoke calmly while holding on to Zero’s arm.
“Did you forget? “My aunt-“
She has seen this ability countless times during her school life with Yeonseo, and having known her son Zero since he was born, she not only knows how to deal with her, but has never let down her guard. –
“-Currently the No. 1 Hero in Korea?”
More than anything, she is the current No. 1 Hero, Gladius. There’s no way she could be defeated in close combat against Zero, who is still just a child to her, right?
“Did you forget? “I taught you swordsmanship!”
“……!”
Zero, with his eyes wide open while still being held by her arm, tried to escape somehow, but failed. As it was, it flew through the air, drawn by a strong force –
Quaaang!
As soon as he was pushed to the ground, his face was distorted and he writhed in pain.
Chaeyoung, who was looking at the scene, smiled bitterly. No matter how much she was, she couldn’t be in a good mood by making her child, who was her godfather, suffer.
“I’m sorry. “Get some rest-“
But there is nothing we can do. She felt a little dirty, but she wouldn’t have been able to catch him if she didn’t do this.
“And the same goes for you. “Stop struggling now.”
“…Oh my.”
“This crazy…!”
Suddenly, huge swords appeared in the sky again, and the swords hovered in the sky, aiming at Sang-hoon, who was aiming his gun to help Zero, and Eun-ji, who was fighting with other heroes.
“You won’t die, but at least you’ll be in a lot of pain, right?”
“Ugh…”
Great sword, rapier, dagger, etc. As numerous types of swords circled around them as if they would pierce their entire bodies at any moment, they stopped their actions and gritted their teeth.
“Do I really have to kill him? Get rid of that thought. You guys know that too, right? “What are my abilities?”
“…Welcome Sword.”
“What? I know. “Then you know that there is no hope for you now, right?”
If you get hurt by her sword, there will be pain, but there will be no wound. If that person moves even a little, he will stab his sword at them, and if that happens, they will faint and be caught.
Even if you decide to resist at least an arm and a leg, it is meaningless. You’d be lucky if you didn’t collapse in immense pain just by brushing against your arm.
“Surrender calmly.”
There is no room to escape, and even if there is a gap and you break through these countless swords, there is no future.
At Chaeyoung’s subsequent declaration, they soon realized that they had been completely defeated and gritted their teeth, and those who had been watching the one-handed sword in her hand emit an evil light closed their eyes tightly.
Complete defeat. They end here. Then-
Sang-hoon, who sighed in a half-resigned state, soon opened his mouth quietly and tried to tell Hyun-woo to run away, even if he was the boss, but-
-Zero. Can you hear me?
It was then.
“…What are you doing? “Don’t hold on.”
“Yes, yes…!”
-Use the ability 3 seconds from now. Since there are three people – we can get away with using all three.
The police quickly took out handcuffs at Chaeyoung’s words, and the heroes followed them. A voice they could not hear echoed in their heads.
“Drop your weapons! And put your hands on your head-“
-3.
Somewhere in the eyes of those who had given up for a moment, a strange look appeared in their eyes, and soon a smile appeared –
“…These bastards-“
-2.
Chaeyoung noticed this and tried to swing her sword, but-
-1.
The fireflies that were already flying in the sky flew towards them,
“Now!”
When a voice that was all too familiar to them shouted, they immediately ran forward just in time.
Paaa!
“This is-“
“Damn, the power!”
Fireflies oxidizing with a burst of intense light, three villains running as if they are trying to gather in one place at the same time.
The heroes, who were taken aback by their abilities completely disappearing in an instant, were unable to catch them –
“Where are you going?”
Chaeyoung and some of her heroes reacted to them and immediately ran forward –
Quad. Quagwagwagwang!
“-What?!”
Numerous walls and iron bars that rise up in an instant, a complex maze made of them. The heroes who were trapped and blocked in the maze just missed them –
Roaring-
“This is-“
“What is this, that villain back then-“
Just like them, villains are trapped in the middle of the maze. Unlike Sang-hoon, who kept turning his head in confusion, Eun-ji, who had already seen this ability, frowned –
“You held up well?”
“Boss!”
The sound of footsteps was heard along with a very familiar voice. Eun-ji turned her head and confirmed the identity of the footsteps, and immediately started running towards Hyeon-woo with a bright, tired expression on her face.
“Sorry, I was a bit late, right?”
