Chapter Index

    “… Stop.”

    Shiranui was going upstairs and it wasn’t long before she felt something strange.

    What was strange was that the higher you went upstairs, the more it felt like the temperature was dropping rapidly.

    ‘It’s a little cold, but… ‘This is so strange.’

    ha…

    The sigh she let out unconsciously became white breath and dispersed in the air.

    Shiranui saw this and signaled to the team members following her. Maybe the villains upstairs had noticed their intrusion and were using their supernatural powers.

    The heroes climbed to the second floor with more careful movements than before. After confirming that the hallway was empty, they quickly moved to their designated locations.

    And just as Shiranui was about to put her hands together again and use her supernatural power to hallucinate her enemies, someone’s voice was heard from beyond the door where she was waiting.

    “What is this?”

    “I just follow the boss’ orders.”

    “Boss? Are you doubting me?”

    “Doubt… Let’s just say it’s a reasonable measure.”

    “Why? I have never encountered Ignis separately.”

    ‘korean? No, rather… Ignis?’

    It was the first time I had received information that the villains who caused this terrorist attack included a Korean villain. In fact, until now, there was no way to apprehend a running villain using a key, so there was no way to obtain information.

    Shiranui’s eyebrows furrowed as she recognized the name of a well-known Korean male hero. Are the villains targeting Ignis?

    ‘No, if you look at the current atmosphere… ‘I think there’s an infighting going on?’

    Shiranui could understand and speak Korean to some extent.

    Shiranui focused on their conversation again, thinking that perhaps the mission could be completed much more easily than he thought.

    “Seo Na-young was like that too. I only crashed once on a mission. But what about the results? Even the secret space in the lab was exposed in vain, and Ignis took everything away.”

    “… What do you want to say?”

    “You are addicted to dealing with Ignis. If you stay quiet, I won’t treat it as betrayal.”

    “… I understand.”

    Damn it~

    And with a sound as if ice was freezing, a chill rushed out from the crack in the door.

    ‘This is the chill I was feeling earlier.’

    Shiranui frowned. It’s a situation where the villain’s superpower is presumed to be freezing.

    Her supernatural power, which specialized in charming others, was not very powerful in terms of firepower. Because of this, her supernatural powers did not work well when dealing with such abilities.

    ‘I can’t help it. Charm has a high chance of failing. You have to enter with a team member with superpowers to strengthen your body… ‘

    As Shiranui was reorganizing the plan in her head, a cold voice was heard from beyond the door.

    “Have you finished eavesdropping?”

    “!”

    Kwaang!!

    As soon as I hurriedly left the door, the door exploded outward as if a cannon had been fired from within.

    The cold air beyond the door turned into white steam and flowed out like fog.

    Shiranui took a fighting stance with a nervous face.

    ‘What, is there a detection psychic?’

    As if to answer her questions, a leisurely conversation continued in the room. It was an attitude that did not at all suggest that they were surrounded by heroes.

    “Why didn’t I notice it sooner? Looking at how far it has come, it looks like the first floor has already been taken care of.”

    “Well, that’s… As the boss said, as I was monitoring other doors connected to the lab, it was difficult to focus on multiple places at the same time… ”

    ‘Is he a psychic who has awakened clairvoyance?’

    In that case, he could simply see the desired location, and since his other senses were not developed, he could easily have been unaware of their intrusion.

    The boss, Kang Da-kyung, also seemed to have guessed that and sighed softly.

    “Ha… Ever since I became involved with Ignis, nothing has worked out. Let’s get rid of the uninvited guests first.”

    “Everyone ready for battle!”

    At Shiranui’s signal, the heroes prepared for battle by raising their superpowers.

    Unfortunately, we were caught right in front of the door, so the advantage of surprise was lost, but it was okay. According to the conversation I heard just a moment ago, one villain, who is presumed to be an executive, is excluded from battle.

    If the situation turns unfavorable, we may enter the war at any time, but until then, our military power is clearly superior.

    Shiranui thought so.

    “Attack!”

    Kwagwagwagwang-!!

    Various long-distance supernatural powers emitting brilliant light were shot into the room.

    No one worried about the lives of terrorists.

    Of course, it would have been nice to capture him alive and bring him to justice. If we do that, it will be possible to restore the country’s reputation that has been tarnished by terrorists to some extent.

    But that’s only when you can subdue the enemy.

    It was already revealed in the Higashigu terror attack that the Self-Defense Forces and even decent-level heroes were no match for them.

    It was better to end it here rather than losing sight of the terrorist by adjusting his strength to capture him alive.

    Since there were villains on the first floor who had already succeeded in securing them, the heroes could freely display their superpowers.

    “Stop attacking!”

    bang!

    Pass…

    At Shiranui’s signal, the rain-like attacks stopped. She gave the signal to the hero who had awakened his body-enhancing superpower to enter first.

    And as soon as the hero entered the room, he flew backwards as if he had been hit by a truck.

    thud!!!!

    “Big black… !”

    The hero, who didn’t even flinch when hit by bullets as well as swords, was shocked and couldn’t come to his senses.

    The heroes who saw that scene all forgot what to say.

    The problem was not terrorists, but the attack was carried out with the expectation that the building would collapse, but the enemy’s resistance was still unusual.

    Sure enough, a sharp voice came from the room as if no damage had been inflicted.

    “The greeting was rough. I guess I should return the favor here too.”

    The executives, including Da-kyung Kang, said so and slowly appeared in the hallway.

    The villains who appeared seemed not to have been hit at all by the heroes’ heavy fire. This situation arose because Kang Da-kyung’s telekinetic power overwhelmed the power of heroes with long-distance attack supernatural powers.

    ‘Maybe today might be my last… ‘

    A drop of sweat ran down Shiranui’s nervous cheek.

    While the villain and the hero were confronting each other, the sound of the door opening quietly was heard in the room where Kang Da-kyung was.

    Sigh…

    ***

    The reason I asked Maria to hand over Kang Da-kyung’s information to Shiranui was not for any particular reason.

    This was because the location where they were located was much further away than where we had suppressed the Apostle.

    Although Maria told us the shortest route, it was difficult to travel because of the time required.

    In order to move comfortably, you have to go through the door, but it was clear that they would be staring at the door, watching to see when I would come out.

    It was obvious that if I opened the door without thinking, I would be subjected to all kinds of attacks like a comprehensive gift set.

    In addition, the boss Kang Da-kyung’s telekinetic powers were enough to collapse part of the building. Since I had my abilities, I wouldn’t die if I got hit, but since my martial arts skills were sealed, there was a risk of injury.

    Then the best option is to throw a bait that will take their attention away from the door for a moment.

    ‘No. It’s not even bait. Because it gives Japan the opportunity to directly arrest him.’

    Just as a knife must be applied to the body for surgery, a certain degree of collateral damage must be endured to remove villains from society.

    If a hero gets hurt, the Japanese government will take care of compensation, right?

    I nodded, roughly convincing myself.

    -Master, now is the time.

    ‘okay.’

    While I was waiting with the villains neatly tied up so that I could stop by again later to collect them, I received a signal from Maria, who had hacked Shiranui’s smartphone and was checking the situation there.

    This is a signal that Kang Da-kyung and the villains are away for a while to deal with the hero.

    “Seo Na-young. It’s now. Open the door.”

    “Ugh… Okay.”

    Although she decided to stick with me, Seo Na-young must have been a little scared of dealing with her former boss, Kang Da-kyung, so she turned the doorknob with a trembling hand.

    Sigh…

    A door that opens slowly and connects to the place where Da-kyung Kang is.

    Cold air came out through the open gap.

    The space beyond the door was passed smoothly without any attack. I was able to find a person waiting for me there in an unexpected manner.

    “En? What are you doing here?”

    “… Ignis.”

    What I saw was the ice queen, Bae Yeon-hee, with her body trapped in ice that appeared to have been made by herself, with only her head exposed.
