The raid that lasted for about an hour finally ended. Eri was successfully rescued and most of the Shie Hassaikai members had been captured. Thanks to someone's involvement, they even managed to capture two members of the League of Villains Toga and Twice. Although there was some confusion because the main target suddenly disappeared, thanks to Nighteye's explanation, the situation was resolved temporarily.
With the raid over, the medical personnel who had been on standby immediately entered and helped those who were injured and immediately took them to the hospital for treatment. Most of them suffered minor to moderate injuries and none of their lives were in danger.
While the medical personnel were busy moving the injured, the heroes who were still able to move joined the local heroes to check around the Shie Hassaikai residence to make sure of the damage caused by the raid they had carried out. Apart from the large hole in the middle of the road made by Rikiya, there was no other damage or casualties among civilians.
Meanwhile, a few meters away from the convoy carrying the captured villains, a truck was seen parked not far from the side of the highway. Three people were also standing by the side of the truck as if waiting for something. One of them was also seen holding his phone as if trying to contact someone.
" damn it, why can't they be contacted "
" Could something have happened to them? "
" I don't know either, I've contacted them many times but still no answer "
" give it! "
While the two were arguing, another one immediately grabbed his phone and tried to contact the person himself only to get the same result. Annoyed by this, the light blue-haired man immediately threw the phone back to its owner.
" hey don't just throw my stuff around Shigaraki "
" forget it! we don't have much time, Spiner immediately bring the truck, we'll catch up with them ourselves "
" huh? What about Toga and Twice, are you going to leave them like that "
" we'll find them later, for now, we should carry out the plan "
As they prepared to leave, without them realizing, someone was watching them from above. Right above them was a large shadow of a winged creature flying watching them. On the creature's back was a man who was also watching them. But in contrast to the atmosphere that should have been serious, the man somehow looked annoyed about something. Ruffling his hair roughly, the man muttered to himself in annoyance.
" ah... sh*t! That brat always involves me in trouble and why do I have to fulfill his ridiculous requests "
With an annoyed face, he recalled the expression of the young man who shamelessly made a request and disappeared without giving him a chance to answer and even prepared one of his mounts for him.
Although annoyed by that, the young man who was none other than Todoroki Touya was already there, and below him were several villains known as the League of Villains who seemed ready to carry out their plan.
" huh... screw this "
As if understanding Touya's intentions, Kaisel, the wyvern he was riding, immediately swooped down and slammed his claws into the body of the truck the criminals were about to board. The impact caused by Kaisel's claws was so strong that it destroyed the body of the truck.
The sudden appearance of Kaisel and Touya certainly surprised Shigaraki and the others, especially with the blue fire that suddenly appeared surrounding them. Due to the previous shock, they were too late to realize the presence of a young man riding on the wyvern's back.
" Stay where you are, if you move even a little, I will not hesitate to burn you to ashes "
Despite his threat, the young man's presence itself was intimidating enough, especially with the killing intent they felt from him and the wyvern figure he rode, making them hesitate to move.
Even though they were under intense pressure, they were still villains, especially with their leader Shigaraki Tomura. Without caring about the flames surrounding them, Shigaraki immediately jumped towards Touya and tried to touch him.
Seeing the threat that came, Touya immediately jumped to avoid Shigaraki's hand that was trying to reach him. Thanks to the information he received from Izuku, he was able to find out what kind of quirk his opponent had. Moreover, two people who had quite troublesome quirks were now standing in front of him. Shigaraki Tomura with the decay quirk and Atsuhiro Sako or Mr. Compress with the compress quirk.
Although Touya managed to dodge, Shigaraki's attack managed to hit Kaisel who tried to bite him. The attack did destroy Kaisel's head, but it didn't take long for him to recover and attack Shigaraki again. Kaisel's jaws opened wide right in front of Shigaraki, but when he was about to close his jaws, his head was destroyed once again which should have turned into blue marbles and Spinner managed to catch Shigaraki away from Kaisel.
While they were wary of Kaisel, Touya took this opportunity to attack them again. The blue flames that surrounded them burned more intensely and the next moment five fire arrows quickly targeted their vital points.
Realizing the attack, Mr. Compress immediately positioned himself in front of Shigaraki and Spinner. He managed to turn the fire arrows into marbles, but the next attack was right behind the first attack and managed to hit Mr. Compress and Spinner which also left burns on their bodies. With both of them already injured, Kaisel immediately grabbed them and then pinned them on the ground which also caused them pain due to the fire on their bodies that would not go out.
Seeing his two comrades defeated without much effort, Shigaraki glared at the attacker. Although he hadn't noticed before, he still didn't recognize the man in front of him. Although he didn't care about the heroes, with such a striking quirk with blue flame he at least saw his face on the list of heroes he received from Giran.
" Who exactly are you? What kind of hero suddenly appears and attacks immediately? You are not even a mid-boss but how dare you interfere"
" Don't compare me to those people, if it wasn't for that bastard's request I wouldn't have done this "
" Huh ... so you acted for payment, someone like you should be on our side "
" You're talking nonsense "
Touya interrupted the one-sided conversation by attacking Shigaraki with his fire arrows. Although Shigaraki managed to avoid his attacks, Touya's attacks did not stop targeting him. The number of fire arrows targeting him also continued to increase and several arrows managed to hit him. Not only were his clothes burned, but his body and hands were also blackened by the blue flames that burned his arms.
Seeing that his opponent was helpless, Touya again created a fire barrier around Shigaraki to limit his movements and breathing.
" Don't make this nonsense any longer or I'll have to drag your corpse back "
Despite the pain he received, he still glared at Touya with a strong killing intent. At the same time, various negative emotions and dissatisfaction that had accumulated in his heart began to show their fangs. These emotions triggered the pieces of memories that were missing from Shigaraki's head, making his head feel like it was going to explode. Along with the arrival of these emotions, an unbearable itch began to be felt again on his neck.
' Why?! Why?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY IS NOT A SINGLE THING GOING ACCORDING TO MY PLAN!... '
Shigaraki continued to glare at Touya who was looking down on him while scratching his itchy neck roughly until his skin bled. He kept asking himself the same questions. About the reason his plan failed, about the reason his teacher never contacted him, and about how he felt like there were eyes always watching him that continued to haunt him. Those questions were what had fostered his frustration and annoyance until now and coincidentally right in front of him was someone suitable to be used as an outlet.
" You make me sick..."
Ignoring everything else, Thanks to the various emotions that filled his heart, he had triggered the potential of his quirk to open. The ground he touched cracked and quickly destroyed the area he stepped on into dust and quickly spread to the surrounding area.
" Kaisel!... "
Touya who realized the danger immediately called Kaisel. Kaisel of course realized it and immediately flew towards Touya along with the two villains he had captured. Once Touya stood on his back, Kaisel immediately flew up to avoid being hit by Shigaraki's attack.
His instincts that were forged directly on the battlefield proved right with the destruction of the entire place with a radius of 1 km from the place he stepped on being destroyed into rubble.
Seeing the destruction made him horrified. Even though it was done when he was on a rampage, the power he showed was almost- no, it was equivalent to an S-rank hunter. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was currently witnessing the birth of another walking disaster.
" This bastard finally got out of control, hey lizard, mask, what's wrong with your boss? "
Responding to Touya's question, Kaisel also gripped his two villains tightly with his claws which made them scream in pain again. But despite the pain they suffered, they were silent. From the expressions they had, they were also amazed by Shigaraki's quirk power which suddenly increased beyond their knowledge.
Seeing their reactions like that it seemed useless to ask. Touya then turned his gaze back to the disaster that was still raging below. Seeing the damage that was still spreading, he knew that Shigaraki had to be stopped immediately.
With that realization he knew that it was impossible to capture him alive, he had no other choice but to kill him. Besides he was a Hunter who specialized in killing, not a hero like his father.
The mana around him began to increase along with the heat coming from his body, a magic circle formed right below and as the circle glowed, a pillar of fire emerged from the magic circle. The temperature produced was so hot that it could melt iron when touched, or so it should have been. But it seemed the target of the magic was not completely mindless.
As if sensing the danger that was coming, Shigaraki raised his hand and once again destroyed the ground he was standing on as well as the magic circle that had formed there.
" Tch, he has good instincts "
Simultaneously he immediately formed a dozen fire spears and immediately attacked Shigaraki using them. It seemed that not only the range of his quirk had increased, but also his speed. It was seen from him who managed to avoid all of Touya's spears, he even jumped trying to reach Kaisel but failed to reach him and ended up falling to the ground.
However, even so, Shigaraki did not seem to give up and continued to chase Kaisel regardless of whether Touya's attack hit him or not. He seemed ready to do everything to bring Kaisel to the ground, even if it threatened his life. Whether it was his obsession or madness, his tenacity was admirable enough to be frightening.
" Tch, persistent bastard, if that's what you want then... "
Touya clicked his tongue once again and prepared his magic spell again. This time instead of aiming it at a single target, Touya decided to use the AoE attack that was his specialty.
The thick mana immediately swirled around him and formed a giant magic circle in the sky that colored the daytime sky with a blue hue. Once the magic circle was finally formed perfectly, the shadow of a dragon's head was formed from the magic circle.
" ...die "
As soon as the dragon's jaws opened, flames erupted, burning everything in its path. The heat that was generated even burned the forest and melted the surrounding roads. The burning lasted for a while and when the fire died down, a large crater was visible with boiling lava in the middle.
Even though he had turned the area into a volcano, Touya didn't care and focused on finding his opponent. But no matter how much he searched he couldn't feel a single presence there as if his opponent's presence was also burned in his 'Dragon's Breath' spell. Thinking about this made him realize that he had gone too far, but considering the threatening feeling he felt from Shigaraki earlier he had no choice but to eliminate Shigaraki who had the potential to be a danger, especially considering that he was also the leader of the most wanted villain organization, the League of Villains.
Assuming that Shigaraki might have died in the fire, Touya left the place with the two villains who were still stunned by the sight of their leader burning to death right before their eyes.
However, without them realizing it, there was another hand that intervened in their fight. As if not wanting to lose his precious horse, this unknown party took the risk of saving Shigaraki's half-burned body while watching the wyvern Kaisel fly away.
