(POV Noah)
"* Sigh * Well you've been warned." "
As soon as he said that, this guy disappeared from my sight. When he reappeared, his fingers were less than 10 centimeters from my eyes and approaching with inhuman speed ...
But as my enemy's hand approached, my body had already started to move. My body tilted back allowing the hand to pass just over my face.
I was less fast and weaker than my opponent, so I shouldn't be able to dodge his attack. But I'm not just anyone, I'm
Noah the untouchable.
As Lionel passed by me because of his momentum, my body had already moved on its own. My right hand, which held a dagger, hit something on its own that was not in my line of sight.
The only thing I felt was a feeling of ragged flesh before hearing someone crash to the ground.
When I finally regained control of my body, I turned to look behind me, I saw Lionel on the ground who was slowly getting up.
His throat had a big cut made by my dagger and a lot of blood was coming out.
He looked surprised and confused by his injury and that's pretty understandable. After all, I just dodged his attack while slitting his throat when I was slower and less powerful than him.
His injury healed in just a few seconds, during which he watched me closely before resuming the offense.
It disappeared from my vision again but my body still reacts on its own. I leaned forward as a kick landed where my head had previously been. But as soon as it was done, I straightened up again, again dodging an upward kick right in front of me.
And so the fight continued with my dodging body responding on its own without me doing anything. It's always been the same since I developed this technique.
*sigh*
What a bore, I thought this vampire would be a little different from the others but it seems I was wrong, the only thing worth mentioning about him is his regeneration which makes him the ultimate punch bag.
I called my power "analysis". It increases the capacities of my senses but its main function is that it allows me to analyze whatever my senses pick up. The movements of my opponents, the layout of the terrain, the blowing wind, the direction of my opponent's gaze ...
Anything my brain picks up can be analyzed and used.
In this lifetime, I was born into a family in the Middle East, it was a war zone and my "family" died as a result of an enemy attack. I was taken to an orphanage funded by international aid. I was "safe" there, it allowed me to grow and become stronger.
Then one day the orphanage was attacked and everyone died there.
I had escaped long before the attack, it was easy to predict. I had made some contacts to learn about the situation on the battlefield and that's how I survived. I didn't warn them, I needed them for bait.
After that, I lived as a wanderer, killing any soldier I met. Maybe it was stupid, but I wanted to know what it would be like to go solo against two armies. It sounded funny.
And that's how I lived my life. All the while, my fighting experience was accumulating, getting richer and richer. Until one day I developed the technique I currently use against this vampire.
All the information I pick up is processed almost instantly by my brain. And with the combination of all of my accumulated fighting experience, muscle memory, and analytical power, my body can instantly respond to any external stimuli whatsoever.
No matter how fast a movement is, it always leaves a mark. Even though it's as fast as this vampire, and it seems the eye can't pick up it, until it's not as fast as light, there will still be a residue that can be analyzed.
And that's how my life got boring, no one could touch me anymore, I could even dodge bullets.
My body has no scars. For someone who has lived in a war zone for over 20 years, this is a miracle. And that's how I got my nickname Noah the Untouchable.
The last time I hurt from an injury was when I was 12 when I hit my little toe against a cupboard.
*sigh*
What a bother… The vampire had at a moment pulled out blades of blood from I don't know where and was still attacking me with them. He had a red face and looked really angry. But well, they all react like that when they see my bored look. And as I dodged another attack that targeted my heart, I stuck my knife in his eye.
I turned my gaze to my little brother to see if he was done with what he had to do and-
Holy shit! Is he really doing what I believe he is doing?
Is this even possible in real life ???
Hahaha, he's not my little brother for nothing !!!
I need to see this attack. I'll create an opportunity for him.
I took a grenade from my belt and pulled the pinout of it. Then I waited and waited and waited.
Now!
I stuck the grenade into his mouth while kicking him in the chin forcing him to shut his mouth.
Then I moved away as far as possible… You know the rest
BOOOM !!!
…
Moments before the explosion
(POV Hayato)
Shit!
Does he have ultra instinct ??
How does he do that? I need to ask him after that. But it looks like he won't be able to kill him on his own. Each injury he makes on him regenerates in seconds. So my assumptions were true.
I need an attack that destroys him in one shot. He should not be given time to regenerate.
"Oy! Todoroki, I need your help" I said
He then approached
" What's the matter? What do I have to do ?" He asked
"You have to keep my body temperature within an acceptable threshold. That's all you have to do so focus on okay?" I replied
He nodded in recognition
Alright, now I can focus on it. My technique is just a theory and I never got to try it because of the potential damages but it should work logically.
I flicked the switches on my metal gloves to activate them. Lines of light began to appear on the surface of the gloves which then began to produce heat and small flashes.
I placed my hands in front of each other as if I were holding a ball in front of me. Then I increased the power of the gloves which started to heat up more and more
100 °C
200 °C
300 °C
Small electric arcs have also increased in power. I began to use my control over electromagnetic waves to raise the temperature in the center of my hands while placing them to my right at my waist.
400 °C
500 °C
I spread my legs slightly and lean forward
1000 °C
...
3000 °C
…
6000 °C
...
...
8000 °C
The air in the center of my hands had reached a temperature of 8,000 ° C but it still wasn't enough. Todoroki was already using all the power of his quirk to cool my body and keep it at a stable temperature.
I pushed my quirk harder to raise the temperature
9000 ° C
A ball of blue plasma was starting to appear in the palm of my hands
9500 ° C
It got bigger
10,000 ° C
Ok! I have to stabilize it now.
The temperature around had reached an all-time high, and even my body which was chilled by Todoroki felt about to burn now.
My teammates looked really horrified far away. But understandably, after all, everyone should be afraid of this attack.
BOOOM !!
Oh? Noah detonated a grenade? Great, I needed this distraction so he can't dodge.
*sigh*
I am truly making every child's dream of my previous world come true.
"KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAAAAAAA"
Then I forcefully hurled the sphere of plasma towards Lionel with an un-dodgy speed.
The plasma that was previously compressed in my hands then expanded into a large, human-sized ball of plasma.
The blue sphere moved with such speed that it left a blue trail behind it. Encompassing Lionel who saw nothing coming before continuing on its way to a mountain in the distance.
Lionel didn't even have time to react until he was dissolved by "my" attack.
Once that was done, I collapsed on the floor face up with my arms outstretched.
I heard footsteps approaching me, I knew he was my brother. He sat down next to me.
"You fucking made the dream of millions of children come true, you know?" He said
"Do you count yourself among them?" I asked
" Sure! Damn, who never tried to throw a Kamehameha as a kid? hahaha " he replied laughing
"So what's it like?" He continued
"It was… embarrassing! Hell, I would never scream my attacks like that again. How do all these anime characters scream the names of their attacks without feeling the slightest embarrassment?" I replied
After a moment of silence, he asked
" So? When are we going to kill him? "
I started to think about his question
"We need to take care of a few variables first." I said, looking at my teammates approaching in the distance.
"Oh, are you planning to kill them?" He asked with an amused look on his face.
"No, but I need them for something else. "
"You are the boss" he replied
"Very well, once rested we get to work" I concluded
