Chapter 216: The Hero's Duty!
Chapter 216: The Hero's Duty!
"License-Free Knight" was merely a Class C hero, so why was he receiving so much support and cheers from the crowd? Was it solely because of his popularity?
No, it was because even though he was just a Class C hero, he embodied the spirit of a true hero more than they, the Class A heroes, did.
"Damn it, what was I hesitating about earlier? As a hero, our duty is to defeat monsters and protect others! Just because the opponent is too strong, I'm afraid? What kind of hero am I?"
With just a silent curse, Venom Dart tightened his grip on the Bamboo Tip Gun and, without hesitation, charged forward alongside License-Free Knight.
"What should we do?" Lightning Max looked at Snake beside him as he watched Venom Dart rush forward.
"What else can we do now? We can only grit our teeth and face it. Are we just going to stand here and wait to die?"
After all, they were heroes! Could they just stand by and watch as ordinary, defenseless civilians were slaughtered? Lightning Max, what about you? What are you doing at a time like this?"
Snake and Lightning Max exchanged a glance, then turned to look at the civilians behind them. Their determination solidified.
They were the Association's heroes; when ordinary people were under attack from monsters, it was their duty to step up and protect them!
Just as they prepared to join License-Free Knight and Venom Dart in fighting Sea King, they realized that their passionate speeches had fallen on deaf ears with Hell Frost.
License-Free Knight, a mere Class C hero, had bravely charged at Sea King, who had defeated an S-Class hero. Even they, the Class A heroes, were inspired by his courage.
Hell Frost's lack of reaction was one thing, but at this critical moment, she was fiddling with her phone as if she hadn't heard a word they said.
"Forget it, let's not worry about her. She's the fifth-ranked Class A hero, but she's still a woman. It's time for us men to show our mettle!"
Watching Hell Frost play with her phone, Lightning Max's expression turned slightly dissatisfied, but he said nothing and charged forward to join the fight.
Although Hell Frost was a hero, they had no right to demand that she fight alongside them, potentially to her death.
As Lightning Max and Snake rushed towards Sea King, Venom Dart, who had charged ahead of them, was already flying back, colliding with a reinforcing bar in the center of the gymnasium and embedding himself deep into the wall.
License-Free Knight, the other hero who had charged forward, was now covered in blood and held aloft by Sea King with one hand, his expression filled with extreme contempt.
"Is this the extent of human heroes? I thought you had some skill after all that fiery talk, but you're just useless trash."
Despite his blurry consciousness, License-Free Knight clenched his bloody fist and managed to land a punch on Sea King's face, leaving it covered in blood but causing no harm. This thoroughly enraged Sea King.
In Sea King's eyes, this was a direct insult!
He was the king of the Deep Sea Clan, a superior species above humans, yet he had been slapped by a mere human ant. How could he tolerate this?
"How dare you touch the face of this king with your filthy hands. Since you insist on seeking death, I shall grant your wish."
Deep Sea King, holding License-Free Knight's head with one hand, revealed a terrifying grin when provoked. He then tightened his grip on the knight's arm, intending to crush his head.
Just as Deep Sea King was about to explode the knight's head, several reinforcing bars shot out from a nearby location, forcing Deep Sea King to halt his action and take temporary cover.
Deep Sea King's body secreted a type of mucus that deflected physical attacks, which had previously caused Sonic and Sensual Prisoner to suffer.
However, these sharp reinforcing bars were not fists, and they were controlled by superpowers. Even the mucus on Deep Sea King's body couldn't deflect this piercing attack.
As the blue-glowing bars shot towards him, Deep Sea King had no choice but to throw the knight aside and punch the bars, sending them flying!
Lightning Max and Snake were astonished by Blizzard's actions, but the former snapped the stunned duo out of their daze, "What are you gawking at? Hurry and save the man while we have the chance!"
Blizzard continued, "I've already called for backup with my phone. Strong reinforcements will arrive soon."
"But before that, can we hold this guy back on our own?"
Hearing Blizzard's words, Lightning Max and Snake felt ashamed. They had thought Blizzard was afraid to fight, but he was actually calling for reinforcements.
Moreover, when they considered Blizzard's identity, the strong reinforcements he mentioned could very well be the green-haired adorable legal lolita, the second-ranked S-Class Hero, 'Trembling Cyclone'.
If it were 'Trembling Cyclone', even a powerful Deep Sea King would stand no chance against the superpower-wielding lolita.
As Blizzard had said, the key issue now was whether they could stall for enough time before 'Trembling Cyclone' arrived.
After punching away the flying bars and embedding them deep into the wall, Deep Sea King glared at Blizzard's position.
Realizing that Deep Sea King might target Blizzard, Max and Snake immediately rushed to intercept his attack.
Blizzard, a superpower user, had average physical abilities. If Deep Sea King got close, he would be instantly killed.
Blizzard was their primary damage dealer at the moment, so Max and Snake knew they couldn't let Deep Sea King get the upper hand.
However, facing their interception, Deep Sea King scoffed at Max and Snake.
With a simple left and right punch, he broke through their combined offense and sent both heroes flying!
"It seems too much to ask, even for A-Class Heroes, to stop this monster's advance."
