Capítulo 38: Do You Want To Be A Hero? (19) | Sky Jumper
Bang! Bang!
A multitude of explosive blasts erupted from the sludge-armored hands of the panicking villain, each one aimed with deadly intent toward the green-masked hero.
The villain's attacks were frantic and desperate, trying to destroy the relentless figure whom was advancing toward it like a predator closing in on its prey...!
However, the hero himself was unfazed by such danger. With his powerful, glowing-armored legs, he leaped high into the sky, twisting and dodging through the air, narrowly avoiding the deadly explosives!
Meanwhile, the crowd of onlookers—both Pro Heroes and civilians alike—scrambled away to shield themselves from the shockwaves of the explosions.
"Everyone! Watch out!"
"Kyaah!"
They scurried away in panic, narrowly escaping the blast radius just in time. The fear in their eyes was quite apparent as they moved for safety... And yet, even amidst the chaos, their attention was quickly drawn back to the confrontation between the mysterious newcomer hero and the rampaging villain.
They watched in awe, mouths agape, as the green-masked hero soared even higher into the sky. His leap this time far surpassed his impressive display of acrobatics from moments ago...
But was it a mistake on his part?
The sludge-armored villain, seeing the hero airborne and seemingly defenseless, grinned viciously through its grotesque helmet. It raised its equally grotesque armored arms toward the sky, targeting the hero as he ascended!
"DODGE THIS, YOU DAMN HERO!"
Its sludge-covered arms glowed with fierce, fiery intensity, heat radiating off them like molten metal. And then, without hesitation...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another deadly barrage of explosive blasts shot from the villain's glowing, heated hands. Each one rocketed toward the hero, racing through the air with terrifying speed, intent on bringing him down!
However, the jumping armored hero had already anticipated the onslaught.
In those fleeting seconds before the deadly blasts could hit him, he twisted his body mid-air and positioned his legs at a sharp angle, as if bracing against an unseen surface...
And then—he kicked, propelling himself off what seemed like thin air, launching away from the incoming barrage in an incredible feat of agility!
Gasps rippled through the crowd, eyes wide with shock as they witnessed the impossible—the hero had kicked off the very air itself.
Even the Pro Heroes were stunned, exchanging glances as disbelief mirrored across every civilian's face. Was this really happening? The question was etched in every expression.
The green-masked newcomer hero was seemingly defying gravity, leaping from what could only be described as invisible platforms, evading every explosive that came his way!
"Amazing...!"
"How is he able to move like that...?"
"Is that his quirk?"
They all tried to rationalize the incredible feat, assuming it had to be a quirk. Yet, every one of them stood equally in awe of the sheer display of the hero's breathtaking movements.
The villain, however, was anything but impressed. Its grotesque eyes widened in panic, frustration seeping through its sludge-covered form. No matter how many blasts it fired, the hero was always one step ahead!
"D-DAMN YOU!" it snarled, raising its arms high. Another barrage of explosive blasts erupted from its glowing hands.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The blasts filled the sky, painting it red and black with fire and smoke.
But the hero remained undeterred in his advance. With swift movements, he kicked off another invisible wall, then another, and another, gracefully maneuvering through the chaos-filled sky! Each "sky step"—no, each "sky jump"—brought him closer to the villain's position!
The villain's grotesque face twisted further in panic as the hero's relentless advance continued. Its supposed deadly blasts became more frantic—wilder and desperate!
And yet the hero... he kept advancing, closing the distance with his "sky jumps," seemingly unstoppable as he drew nearer to the squirming villain...
"DAMN YOU...!!!"
The sludge-armored villain was reaching the limits of its fear. It kept trying its very best to bring down this pestering green hero with all its newly "acquired" power, and yet it couldn't even scratch the impending hero...
It wasn't just fear; it was also frustration. The villain had believed it was now invincible with its newfound strength and the quirk obtained from controlling the blonde woman.
It had planned to use this supposed powerful form not only to become the most powerful villain in the world but also to exact revenge against the mighty No. 1 Hero who had humiliated it.
It had saved up its energy to specifically defeat All Might... and yet here it was, wasting them and the lifespan of its quirk host in a seemingly vain attempt to take down this green-jumping hero.
The villain was left questioning in frustration whether it would ever be able to defeat the No. 1 hero when a seemingly newcomer hero was effortlessly playing tricks on it...
And now, it reached the limit of its frustration.
In a desperate attempt to finally bring down the green-masked hero, the villain melded both of its arms together, forming a massive mass of sludge... and then shaped them into what could be called a large cannon!
The large sludge-cannon glowed with the same radiating heat, aiming its massive barrel at the soaring green hero...
"I'M TAKING YOU DOWN...!!!"
Then, with a thunderous roar... the large sludge-cannon was fired!
BANG!!!
A single, powerful explosion erupted from the cannon's barrel!
The blast from the cannon roared through the air with terrifying force, a massive wave of destruction spreading out in all directions! The explosion was so vast and powerful that it seemed to cover nearly the entire sky, leaving no space untouched...
The villain had ensured that this attack would leave the pesky hero no chance to evade it. As the smoke finally began to clear, the sky revealed an empty, cloudless expanse—no trace of the green-masked hero remained.
"Hehe... haha... HAHAHA!!!" The villain's laughter rang out hysterically, reveling in what it believed was its victory. "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR MESSING WITH ME, CHUMP! HAHAHA!!!"
It seemed that the villain had won... or so it thought.
[IMAGI ARSENAL: GRASS-CUTTING SWORD!]
"WHAT-?!"
A sudden robotic voice came from behind the sludge-armored villain. It quickly turned around... only to find the green hero, whom it had thought was dead, standing tall before it!
The green-masked hero's glowing red eyes-visor locked onto the stunned villain. In his left hand, he held a cybernetic green sword. In his right hand was a green USB-like device, which he then inserted into a small opening on the bottom of the sword's handle.
[ARSENAL ACCESS! GRASS HOPPER!]
He then pressed the red trigger button on the small device, which emitted another sharp, mechanical sound from his sword!
[ACCESS GRANTED! GRASS HOPPER ARSENAL STRIKE!]
"Grass Slash," the green-masked hero whispered fiercely... before bringing his sword down toward the villain!
