NOVEL WEB 81 – Jude 1:7
Jude 1:7
just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
A vibrant purple and black flame flickered to life on his fist. It looked almost like it was alive. Before the Nomu was able to follow up its first punch James enraged gaze raised to match the Nomu's. The usual dim glow of his irises that was usually barely noticeable flared up into an eerie purple glow. It seemed to pause in hesitation.
James slammed the flaming fist into the Nomu's face sending it flying back even further than before. The flames seemed to cling to the point of impact like napalm, burning away at its skin with abandon. It started screaming and trying to slap its own face to put out the fire, but it was finding no success as the purple black flames seemed to ignore anything it did.
He could actually see its skin very slowly peeling and burning away from its muscles. Its healing factor doing its best to counter the flames. Though it seemed to have some effect the flames were still winning the battle as it kept burning away ever so slowly inch by agonising inch. Eventually it dropped to the ground and even started rubbing its face into the dirt to try to put out the fire.
James smirked for a moment, but concealed it before anyone could notice.
Suddenly there was a big explosion at the entrance of the USJ.
He glanced back at the explosion. 'It seems backup has finally arrived,' he thought.
The shadow guy, Kurogiri appeared beside Tomura. "Shigaraki Tomura..." he said.
Tomura looked over at him. "Kurogiri, did you kill thirteen?" He asked.
"No, All Might appeared." Kurogiri answered.
James looked back over at the still struggling Nomu and sighed. 'What a shame. I kind of wanted to torture it a little more,' he thought.
Tomura turned to Kurogiri. "Huh? Already?" He said. He started scratching at his face even more vigorously, first with one hand and moments later with both.
Suddenly he went from agitated to extremely calm. "If he made it here already someone must have messed up and allowed some rats to escape. The rest of the staff should be on their way. We can't win against dozens of pros. It's game over. Man, it's game over with this. Let's go home," he said.
All Might walked up to the edge of the stairs. All the other students and teachers seemed to relax the moment he appeared.
He glared down at Tomura, Kurogiri and the Nomu. "It's fine now! I am here" He shouted as he tore off his tie.
Tomura stared back up at him. "I've been waiting, hero. You trash of society." he said excitedly.
"That's All Might! It's my first time seeing him in person!" One of the villains shouted.
"He looks so intimidating," another said.
"Idiots, don't hesitate!" A third scolded them.
Before they could even move though All Might disappeared from where he stood and appeared beside James. All the villains in his way had been sent flying. They hadn't even been able to see him move, let alone respond.
"Good work Busujima-kun. Sorry I wasn't here sooner," he said.
Kurogiri looked over at Nomu with the still burning face. The flames had burned up its cheek and were slowly spreading to the rest of its head. "Do you think fighting is still a good idea? What if that fire doesn't go out at all?" he asked hesitantly.
Tomura shook his head vigorously his bloodshot eyes trained on All Might. "No! This is our chance. Just prepare to teleport us out," he said.
All Might kept his eyes on the Tomura, Kurogiri and the Nomu. "Get to the entrance. I'll leave Aizawa-kun to you Busujima-kun," he said.
Aizawa shook his head vehemently in refusal despite his trembling appearance as he struggled to remain standing. "No.. I can still fight..." he said.
All Might sighed. "Take him away Busujima-kun," he ordered again.
James shook his head. "I might not be able to defeat them, but I should be able to keep Shota-sensei safe and his quirk might still be useful," he said.
"I'll just have to have faith in you then Busujima-kun, but if things take a turn for the worse take Aizawa-kun and make a run for it," All Might said.
Tomura stopped scratching himself and turned towards the Nomu. "Nomu, attack..." he ordered.
The Nomu did its best to ignore the spreading flames and dashed towards All Might at a speed similar to what All Might had used.
All Might matched it and dashed towards the Nomu. He drew back his fist and landed a heavy body blow to its side, but it seemed completely unaffected.
It made a grab for All Might using both arms.
All Might managed to dodge it by quickly leaning back. "It seriously has no effect at all. huh?!" He shouted.
He swung again striking it in the chest to no effect.
The Nomu continued to grasp towards him which he dodged by a hair.
"In that case!" He shouted and followed the dodges up with punches to the Nomu's head.
It screeched in response, but still seemed unaffected by All Might's heavy blows.
Despite how much energy he put into the blows he hadn't even managed to do as much damage as the small purple and black flames that were slowly growing and burning away at the Nomu's face.
All Might jumped back to avoid another grab by the Nomu. "It doesn't work on his face either, huh?" He said to himself.
"It doesn't work because of shock absorption. In order to cause damage to Nomu it would be most effective to slowly gouge out his flesh. Whether he's let you do that or not is a different issue though," Tomura said smugly.
James chuckled. "I don't know. My fire seems to be doing a pretty good job," he retorted.
He looked at his fist and by drawing on the feeling he had experienced earlier he was able to reignite the purple and black flames on his hand. They danced around despite the lack of wind. It almost felt like they were excited.
He looked back at Tomura. "How about we add some more?" He said.
