NOVEL WEB Chapter 208: 208
Chu Yang's criticism completely enraged Sonic; his eyes turned red, and his killing intent overflowed.
At this moment, Dr. Genus, having checked the identities of the three via computer, immediately advised, "Mr. Sonic, don't be impulsive. All three of them are A-Class Heroes ranked in the top five."
"Their teacher is also an S-Class Hero."
"We've already offended an S-Class Hero, Tatsumaki. If we offend another S-Class Hero, I'm afraid..."
Sonic, worried about causing trouble for Chu Yang, quietly glanced at Chu Yang.
"What are you looking at?!"
"Capture them all and use them for experiments!"
...
"Found it!"
"There's a door here."
Iai Iron accidentally kicked a raised floorboard and discovered a hidden entrance beneath his feet.
Kyuubu Tooth Sword and Samurai Drill rushed over upon hearing the news.
The three of them looked delighted, standing at the entrance, discussing how to descend.
Kyuubu Tooth Sword was impatient; with the entrance right in front of him, he couldn't wait. He bent down and directly pulled open the basement door.
A gust of wind blew past.
A faint killing intent emanated from the darkness.
Iai Iron immediately drew his Katana and blocked it in front of him.
Kyuubu Tooth Sword and Samurai Drill were still in a daze.
A cold blade abruptly appeared before them.
A chilling light suddenly flared!
"Dodge!"
Iai Iron stepped forward, and at the last moment, he blocked the sneak attack for the two of them.
The instant the two katanas clashed, Iai Iron, using the faint light of the fire, saw the enemy's appearance.
It was a young and delicate face.
Not a weirdo!
"Stop, we're not bad guys..."
Before Iai Iron could finish speaking, the enemy in front of him suddenly vanished.
His pupils abruptly constricted, and the hairs on his back stood on end!
The vanished Katana was pressed against the back of his armored vest, ready to pierce his heart at any moment!
He lost!
With just one encounter, he was rendered utterly helpless!
Iai Iron's face turned ashen.
It wasn't until they saw Iai Iron being held at knifepoint that Kyuubu Tooth Sword and Samurai Drill belatedly drew their Katanas.
Iai Iron groaned in pain; the Katana pressed against his back easily pierced his armor and sank into his flesh.
Kyuubu Tooth Sword and Samurai Drill immediately froze in place, not daring to make another move.
Sonic coldly looked at them, "If you casually run onto someone else's territory, you should be prepared to pay the price, right?"
Iai Iron endured the pain in his back and explained in a deep voice, "We're looking for someone. You should know where she is..."
"Oh~ that idiotic woman?" Sonic said indifferently, "She's as clueless about rules as you are, so I gave her a little punishment."
Kyuubu Tooth Sword seemed to remember something and shouted, "I've seen your information. You're the second-to-last C-Class Hero, 'Flashing Ninja' Sonic, right?"
"That's right, I am the famous Flashing Ninja." Sonic's lips unconsciously curved upward, and he even specifically emphasized the words "Ninja."
Samurai Drill asked in confusion, "We're all Heroes from the Hero Association. Why would you do this?"
"Huh?" Sonic sneered disdainfully, "What are we all? Don't compare me to you bunch of small fry, okay?"
"Who said that if we're all Heroes, we have to love each other?"
Samurai Drill was choked speechless, glaring angrily at Sonic, gripping his sword hilt tightly, "You rude bastard."
Iai Iron, on the brink of death, remained relatively calm. He took a deep breath and said, "Miss Fubuki came here with no ill intent; she just wanted to recruit you. We also have no ill intent; we just want to take her back."
"Can you put down your weapon? Let's talk properly."
Sonic actually put his sword away.
Iai Iron showed a surprised expression, then a pain from the back of his head made his vision go black.
To the disbelieving gazes of Kyuubu Tooth Sword and Samurai Drill, Sonic slammed the hilt of his Katana hard onto Iai Iron's head.
Thud!
Iai Iron fell straight to the ground.
Sonic turned and beckoned to the stunned duo.
"You despicable bastard."
An enraged Kyuubu Tooth Sword charged forward. In his opinion, Sonic's victory over Iai Iron was entirely due to a sneak attack.
In a head-on battle, this second-to-last C-Class guy couldn't possibly be his opponent!
"Your movements have too many flaws. As an A-Class Hero in the top five, if this is all your skill amounts to, I'll be very disappointed."
Sonic brought his two fingers together, formed a hand seal with one hand, and whispered, "Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Three Sonics appeared in place, forming a pincer movement to surround Kyuubu Tooth Sword.
Kyuubu Tooth Sword panicked, looking left and right, trying to find the real Sonic.
He didn't know that all three Sonics were solid entities, showing no flaws whatsoever.
Sonic didn't move, letting the other two Shadow Clones go forward to fight Kyuubu Tooth Sword, while he himself went to meet Samurai Drill.
"The one who left is the real one; these two in front are fakes!"
Kyuubu Tooth Sword turned around happily, wanting to chase Sonic, but the next second, the Katana in the Shadow Clone's hand directly pierced his shoulder.
Damn it!
Kyuubu Tooth Sword looked back in horror.
How is this one real?
When Samurai Drill saw Kyuubu Tooth Sword injured, he subconsciously ignored the Sonic in front of him and rushed over.
His thought process was similar to Kyuubu Tooth Sword's: if that one was the real body, then the one in front of him must be fake.
Just as the two passed each other, Samurai Drill heard a mocking laugh by his ear.
"How foolish."
"Haven't you seen similar abilities after fighting weirdos for so many years?"
Samurai Drill was startled.
Sonic punched him in the abdomen, and in an instant, his internal organs felt as if they were being torn apart with pain.
Samurai Drill curled up and slowly fell to the ground.
Kyuubu Tooth Sword, who was being beaten by two Shadow Clones, gritted his teeth and held on for a while, but eventually fainted from excessive blood loss.
"All three are taken care of. Master should be able to calm down, right?"
Sonic and the two Shadow Clones carried Iai Iron and the others, disappearing at the entrance of the basement.
Early the next morning.
The Hero Association Headquarters was in chaos.
The directors and Advisors in the conference room were arguing incessantly.
Fubuki of Hell, Iai Iron, Kyuubu Tooth Sword, and Samurai Drill—a total of four Heroes were missing, three of whom were A-Class Heroes ranked in the top five.
If this news got out, the Hero Association's reputation would be greatly damaged!
More seriously, these individuals had very close ties to S-Class Heroes.
The disciples of Atomic Samurai, the fourth-ranked S-Class Hero.
The younger sister of Tatsumaki, the second-ranked S-Class Hero.
Leaving Atomic Samurai aside for now, Tatsumaki was the Hero Association's calling card. With the whereabouts of the chief Hero, Blast, unknown, she was the Hero Association's strongest ace!
Most of the Dragon-Level weirdos that appeared in the news were handled by Tatsumaki herself.
The consequences of offending Tatsumaki were unimaginable.
To put it more severely, the Hero Association might lose half of its power because of this.
"What's going on with House of Evolution? Didn't we send people to clear them out last time? How are there still accomplices?"
"This accomplice seems to be the Hero who was dispatched last time..."
"What do you mean?"
"The report says that the Hero 'Yang,' who has been stationed in City D for a long time, seems to have made House of Evolution his new base."
"Miss Fubuki apparently went to recruit him, but then she went missing."
"A Hero kidnapped a Hero? This is the biggest joke I've heard all year!"
"Don't let the news get out for now!"
"Quickly send people over to negotiate and see what he's up to."
"A-Class Heroes were completely wiped out. I'm afraid only dispatching S-Class Heroes can succeed..."
"S-Class Heroes all have their own missions, and some are even unwilling to leave their cities. It's difficult to summon them unless it's a particularly urgent matter."
Bang!!!
