Chapter Index

    Spread cold around the area, setting the stage for the next attack.

    It’s a great way to think about the number of ways it can be linked rather than just a single blow.

    But it is also an easy way to think of it.

    And the moves revealed to the opponent are bound to be destroyed in the end.

    Grumbling~

    “Ugh…!”

    Bae Yeon-hee keeps using her freezing ability to push away the flames around her, but that’s it.

    She was overly embarrassed that her technique was broken. Minho took advantage of that opportunity and used [Incendiary Cloud] to take control of the area. The surrounding area is already filled with the cloud of fire he has laid down.

    If this happens, it will now be easier for Minho to demonstrate his power.

    However, the amount of physical strength consumed had to be taken into account.

    The floor of the square is a stone floor, and water is flowing steadily due to melted ice.

    Maintaining this ability for a long time in a place where there were no flammable materials to burn was a loss from a long-term perspective.

    ‘But you can’t just use a few techniques and finish right away.’

    Minho quietly looks at Bae Yeonhee amidst the flames.

    He came here to prove himself as a hero in the first place.

    First impressions are always the most important.

    If he subdues the villain like this and just disappears, the public will be confused as to whether Minho is a hero or another villain who is in conflict with each other.

    In order to prevent such unfortunate incidents, it was necessary to properly stamp the eyes.

    Indomitable fighting spirit, unbreakable spirit, justice that is considered right, and spirit of sacrifice are certainly virtues that a hero should have.

    But in the current situation, it is difficult to show such elements.

    Then, Minho has only one option.

    It is to dazzle people’s eyes with more splendor than before.

    Surprisingly, it is difficult for people to regard him as a hero simply because he is strong.

    What is important is whether there is an element of strength that the public can be excited about.

    In that sense, Minho went in with an advantage.

    In this world where men and women are reversed, male heroes will always be in demand.

    “Is this all you have?”

    The surrounding heat was reduced so that the audience could better see the scenes on stage.

    Thanks to this, Bae Yeon-hee, who had time to catch her breath, glared at Minho as if he were going to kill him.

    “Don’t look at me funny…!”

    Shookㅡ

    An ice pick launched in surprise.

    Minho took out the baton-shaped psychic weapon he was carrying on his back and swung it.

    ting

    An attack that bounces and flies to the side with a light noise.

    It was a projectile that flew slowly enough that there was no time to react.

    In reality, it was a wide-area strategy that was prepared by gathering strength behind the scenes.

    “Make sure you pay the full price for letting your guard down.”

    [Ice Field]

    So bad so bad

    Minho pushed away the cloud of flames that had been intentionally reduced in number, and a new sheet of ice spread on the floor.

    Two people facing each other in the center of their respective areas.

    Based on exactly half of the square, one side shows a landscape like Antarctica full of ice, and the other side shows a landscape full of bright red flame clouds.

    “……”

    The people who stood outside the square and watched the scene that was impossible to exist in reality were half mesmerized.

    The camera running quietly and the smartphone in their hands just silently captured the fantastic image.

    Bae Yeon-hee bit her lip as she watched Minho not using his hands first.

    To be pushed around like this by a man, not even a woman, makes it impossible for me to raise my head even if I return to the organization.

    At least from now on, you have to show your full potential and demonstrate your skills to stand on your side.

    Click~

    “Ha!”

    A low shutter sound could be heard among the people watching. Using that sound as a signal, Bae Yeon-hee, who was glaring at Minho, suddenly swung her arm.

    Pieces of ice the size of needles, thinner than an awl, are shot at Minho.

    “I should have written this earlier.”

    Grumbling

    The needles made of ice all melted in the flames that swelled around Minho, but that was not what Bae Yeon-hee was aiming for.

    “Let’s see how long you can be so relaxed!”

    [Iceberg Onfall]

    “……!”

    The attack that first struck the podium where the civic group representative was now was falling equally on Minho’s head.

    A mass attack that slams miniaturized iceberg-like chunks of ice at the target.

    That was the breakthrough that Bae Yeon-hee came up with when she realized that her own coldness could not match the firepower displayed by Minho.

    This is the reason why he kept Minho’s attention on the ground and threw a trick that didn’t work, even though he was consistently pushed back. It was a blow that was finally delivered after completing the basic preparation of the technique by diverting the remaining power to the sky.

    Sigh-

    “Did you laugh…?”

    Just before the iceberg finally hits Minho. Bae Yeon-hee could faintly see the corners of Minho’s mouth turning up through the mask that was attached to his face.

    Kwaaa!

    “Ugh!”

    “Go back further!”

    “Don’t push!”

    It was such a powerful blow that its aftereffects even affected the people watching around the square.

    For a normal opponent, this would have confirmed his retirement.

    But Bae Yeon-hee did not relax.

    Minho had already escaped by directly destroying the skills she boasted about.

    Moreover, seeing that the flames around him had not yet disappeared, it was clear that Minho had not lost his mind at least.

    And Minho did not betray her expectations this time either.

    Piingㅡ

    “…….?”

    At that moment, a bright red solid line rose vertically into the sky.

    Everyone’s attention was focused on the line that crossed exactly through the center of the fallen iceberg.

    Druddeuddeuk-

    Kugung…

    Minho, wearing a black suit, appeared beyond the iceberg that was falling left and right while making a loud noise.

    In his hand was the baton that had hit the ice pick earlier, but its appearance was different from just now.

    The edge of the blade was made of fire, blazing fiercely. It looks like a flaming sword that appears in the Bible.

    Even though she was standing on the ice she had clearly laid down, Bae Yeon-hee felt like she was suffocating from the heat.

    “I think this is enough.”

    Minho muttered that and turned his wrist once to hold the flame sword.

    Wow!

    “……!”

    The fire surrounding Minho gathered behind him. A cloud of fire that is instantly sucked in as if it has its own will.

    Fluttering~

    Wings of fire made of huge flames emanated their presence from Minho’s back.

    Everyone who saw it could not help but feel overwhelmed by its size, which was several times larger than the human body.

    This was the moment when the highlight that Minho had been thinking about finally appeared.

    The iceberg that fell from thin air a moment ago has suddenly disappeared from everyone’s memories.

    “That…”

    “An angel! Angel’s wings…!”

    “Oh my god.”

    “Beautiful…”

    Minho kicked the ground, ignoring the loud voices of the audience.

    Pow!

    Minho approaches quickly using his wings of flame as propellant.

    Bae Yeon-hee saw this and hurriedly created three layers of ice in front.

    Quang! Quang! Quang!

    “Ugh…!”

    Of course, the ice wall that even cracked his fist could not stop Minho now.

    The ice walls are collapsing without any role other than to gain a little time.

    “Let’s finish this now.”

    Minho came in while being hit by falling ice cubes and raised his flaming sword.

    At that moment, a flash of light passed before Bae Yeonhee’s eyes.

    She lived a low-class life following her gangster parents.

    What I learned was stealing, and even after gaining superpowers, I couldn’t escape from my parents’ shadow and ended up working as a villain.

    ‘…It must be my fate to end like this.’

    Bae Yeonhee closed her eyes tightly.

    Just as Minho was about to throw his sword at her neck.

    “Ugh…!”

    “Save people!”

    “Fall!”

    “Don’t push!”

    Screams were heard and a disturbance broke out among the spectators.

    Minho stopped swinging the sword and looked back.

    “……!”

    The sign of the building right next to the square was shaking precariously.

    It looked like it had already fallen off halfway and was only relying on a few wires for its weight.

    It was presumed that the accident occurred due to debris generated when an iceberg hit the ground.

    Minho glanced at Bae Yeonhee, who had her eyes tightly closed.

    “Ugh…!”

    dump

    When she felt no pain, she slowly opened her eyes, met Minho’s eyes, and fell backwards.

    My legs must have lost their strength, and they became stiff.

    “……It wouldn’t be good to see blood from the first debut. Consider yourself lucky.”

    Minho, who had lost all his excitement at the sight of her losing spirit, left Bae Yeonhee behind and headed towards the audience.

    She could only watch as the flames flapped their wings and moved away.

    Geek…

    Toadukㅡ

    In the end, all the wires supporting the sign were cut, and the metal fell on people.

    A citizen who was unable to avoid it fell to his feet when he saw the sign falling on him.

    Cooung

    “Aaaah! Uh, what…?”

    Even though he clearly heard a sound, he didn’t feel anything wrong with his body, so he relaxed his arms around his head and looked up cautiously.

    In front of him, Minho was standing with wings made of flame, supporting the sign with both arms.

    “Are you okay?”

    “Uh, uh… yes…! Thank you!”

    A citizen stumbles away while hurriedly saying thank you.

    As people left, Minho put the sign down on the ground, then turned around and kicked the ground.

    pop

    “Now, wait a minute…!”

    “A quick interview!”

    “Hero bro!”

    “Oppa! Please take a look here!”

    Before we knew it, the square where Bae Yeon-hee and Min-ho had disappeared was once again in chaos due to the remaining citizens.

    ***

    “Minho, you told me to come back right away if I’m in danger, right?”

    “No, Yuri-noona… I did it because it was worth it…”

    “Sseu-eup…! Do you know how surprised my sister was every time she kept hitting me with that crazy technique?”

    Regardless of how excited people were, I came home and was bombarded with nagging comments from Yuri Lee.

    And the more important issue is…

    Knock knock

    “Minho, are you in your room?”

    “……”

    He has to decide what to say to Hye-ri Lee, who is waiting for an answer at the door.
