chapter 90
90 – The bare face behind the mask (4)
Peee!!
Seonggwang. The sound of the air being torn apart by the speed of starlight.
Kwaaang!!
Quaguaga River!!
What followed the sound of tearing up space was the violent noise of the remains of the building being destroyed.
“Tch. It seems like the food is sticking…….”
Ruina swung her arms and blocked the masked heroes who were attacking her from all directions.
How fast is it?
Immediately after Ruina swung her arm, the Masquerade was no longer there, and only the remains of the building she had used as a stepping stone remained.
‘Much faster than usual… …. I’m thinking of ending today 24…….’
Ruina feels that the speed of the Masquerade is more than three times the normal speed.
Previously, it felt like he was just adding or subtracting in moderation, but now the hero seems to be completely obsessed with defeating Ruina.
“Haaa!!!”
Boom!
While Ruina was thinking for a moment, she showed a gap.
Masquerade took advantage of the opportunity and aimed a kick at the back of her head.
“Ugh!!”
Ruina’s weak point was the rear.
Basically, the trigger of the ability is only in her arms, and the rest is covered by the physical ability that has been adjusted to the extreme in the laboratory.
The limits of the human body. Since her back was inevitably empty, all Louis could do was turn her head.
“No—!?”
However, the Masquerade that flew behind her was nowhere to be found.
At the same time.
As if using self-immolation, the presence of her Masquerade quickly approached the front.
“Starlight kiiiiik───!!!”
“Keueuuu!!?”
A kick at the speed of light that splits a star.
That fierce killing kick went straight into Ruina’s face.
Damn it!
A diagonal crack appeared on Ruina’s mask, which had never even had a crack in it before.
And then crispy!!!
Ruina’s mask fell into pieces and fell to the floor, just as it was cracked diagonally.
Her “I tried to look after her because she was her older sister who was close to her, but…” ….”
Ruina was on her knees with her bare face exposed, and red blood flowed down her forehead.
There was no need to cover her face anymore, Louisa roughly took off her hood and pulled it down.
Inside her hood, her long, black hair was in full bloom, splendidly like a flower.
“Hoo. “Is that your bare face?”
“Yes. What can I do to hurt my cute face? “We’re scolding ourselves.”
“Honey?”
A moment when Masquerade let down its guard for a moment.
Huh!
With drops of blood flying, Ruina, who was on her knees, took a big leap.
“I found eternal love when you were chasing me around like a stalker!”
“That’s sophistry!! “Are you planning to catch me off guard with such nonsense?!”
Kwajak!!
Louisa’s wrist, which was quickly stretched out, was blocked by Masquerade’s fierce high kick.
“Language bastard!!!”
Masquerade never lets the side of Ruina’s palm touch.
That was the expert skill of Heroman, who chased after Ruinaman all the time and was the only one who could confront her head on.
And this time, the table was literally prepared.
There is no need to chase after me.
There is no need to run away.
In response, Masquerade planned to do everything in her power to defeat Ruina and find herself there, even if it means her resentment is fading away.
Pushy… ….
Smoke rises from between the seams of the Masquerade’s mask and suit.
It was a side effect of moving more than twice as fast as usual, and a curse of an ability he was unaware of.
“Something like smoke is coming out of my body. “Aren’t you overdoing it?”
“A hero always overcomes adversity…… !!”
At the same time, Ruina’s arms and Masquerade’s legs were separated.
Crispy! And the remains of the surrounding buildings were destroyed so quickly that they could not even be seen.
The duel between superpowers, risking their lives, was getting hotter, like the rapidly rising body temperature of the Masquerade.
“Taaa!!”
Flash!!
The power of starlight shined once again.
Quagga River!!!
After the brilliance from the Masquerade’s body first sparkled with sound.
The sound of concrete debris piled up on the floor being smashed one after another followed.
Seonggwang’s Masquerade’s ultra-close special move is faster than the blink of an eye.
“Starlight One Inch──!!!”
That was when Masquerade, who had jumped in close enough to meet Ruina, slightly stretched out her fist, which had been pulled by her waist.
“Gotcha… Everything♪”
“!!!!”
Dongguijin.
Such an idiom suddenly appeared in Masquerade’s mind.
The moment when the hero targets the villain’s solar plexus.
The villain grabbed the hero’s head.
Pussut… ….
The helmet mask that had been covering Masquerade’s bare face was slowly disintegrating.
At the same time.
Tucquoa Ah Ahhhhh !!!
In response to Masquerade’s one-inch punch that gave her all, Louisa was thrown straight into the concrete rubble without even letting out a groan.
Pushyyy!!!
The moment the mask was destroyed.
The heat that had been suppressed for so long erupted like a volcano towards Masquerade’s head.
“It’s hot… ….”
Masquerade knelt down, clutching the bare face of the beautiful woman that had been revealed for the first time in four years.
If I just take one more step, I will be able to completely defeat Ruina and find out who I am.
Because the mask that could control the heat was gone, I was just going out of my mind.
………… It was like having the flu.
When I was young.
She was a cheerful younger sister who carefully looked after her when she lay down with a high fever.
Although she was not her sister by blood, she always followed her example and acted so that she could be an example to her.
But the high fever did not get better at all.
Because of something in her vague memory, she felt that she was about to die.
[35. I might die today.]
Why did she say such worrying things to her sister?
That was her regret.
Not the Masked Hero, Holy Light’s Masquerade, but a nameless one──.
“Who am I…” … ?”
“Keluk! Cough! Keluk! Keluk!”
A violent coughing sound broke out from the rubble.
Ruina, blood pouring from her forehead and mouth, walked out hurriedly, destroying her remains one by one with her hands.
“My sister said that if she had been hit properly, she would have gotten angry…” ….”
Louisa walked over to her distressed Masquerade, clutching her own head as she sat down.
She said, “I was told not to get seriously hurt…” ….”
Louisa kicked her Masquerade, causing her to fall to the floor.
She then climbed on top of him and clenched her fists.
“Did you find out who you are? Huh… ?”
“I, I…” …. I… ….”
“Then, if I hit you hard until you remember, maybe you’ll remember!!?”
“Ruina!!!”
Just before Louisa’s unstoppable fist came down on her Masquerade’s face.
A man’s urgent voice was heard from far away beyond the rubble.
* * *
“Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.”
I’m glad it’s not too late.
Ruina and the Masquerade.
Their battle had intensified to the point where it was invisible to the naked eye, so I thought it would be a big problem if things continued like this.
Sure enough. Both of them were in a state of disrepair.
Ruina’s face was red with her blood flowing down.
The fallen Masquerade was trembling due to the heat radiating from her body.
“Baby… ! Because it’s dangerous here—.”
“It’s okay! “It’s already over!”
I cut off Louis Na’s horse and jumped over the remains of her in a hurry.
Then she immediately jumped over and hugged me.
“Good job. “Thank you so much, Ruina.”
“…… Huh.”
As Ruina left hugging me, she looked down at Hero.
I saw her for the first time, her pretty face stained red with heat.
Her eyes were twitching as if they were going to pop out at any moment.
If this is a side effect of the ability as I heard last time…….
I carefully placed my hand on Masquerade’s face.
“Atte!?”
For a moment, I thought I was touching a heated iron plate.
It was clear that the Masquerade’s body temperature far exceeded the limit that humans can endure.
But maybe it was because my hand touched it, even just for a moment.
“Ah…… Eww… ….”
Immediately after Masquerade’s runaway abilities were sealed.
Her body, which was shaking, was gradually finding her stability.
Eventually, Masquerade closed his eyes.
“Lord, you’re not dead, are you?”
“Ugh. “I think I just fell asleep.”
Ruina’s heart sank greatly at my words.
I thought I was in big trouble because I forced myself to stop using my powers.
“I told you not to get seriously hurt…” ….”
I quickly took her handkerchief out of her pocket and wiped the blood from her head and mouth.
Nevertheless, the blood continued to flow, and Ruina just smiled helplessly.
“hehehe… …. I’m sorry baby…….”
“It’s okay. “More than that, Masquerade found out who he was?”
“Well… …. It seemed like he was saying something, but…….”
Is it because the extreme tension has been relieved?
Or is it because I lost too much blood?
Ruina’s eyes, looking at me while being held in my arms, were gradually opening up.
“Ah… …. It’s snowing… ….”
“It’s true.”
Just as Ruina said, white snowflakes were slowly falling in the dark sky.
“Baby… …. I’m sorry, but I’m a little sleepy…….”
Ruina muttered softly as she looked up at the snow falling from sky to sky with blurry eyes.
“Yes. Leave the rest to me and sleep well. “Good job, Ruina.”
“Ehehehe…… ♡”
After Ruina smiled her cute smile.
She closed her eyes as if she were the older sister she had defeated.
The first snow of the year.
The fight between the two sisters that took place on that anniversary ended in vain.
