Chapter Title: Plan to Create Stronger Heroes (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ A weekend afternoon where people were taking their rest in their own ways.
In the middle of S City's bustling downtown, someone was disrupting that peace.
"Kyaaaaah!!!"
"It's a villain!! Where are the heroes?!"
Amid the citizens fleeing in panic,
a burly man with a clean-shaven head was bellowing powerfully.
"Uahahaahaha! Scream louder! Cry out more!"
His height was at least 3 meters, far beyond common sense, with a massive, heavy build.
-Whoooosh... Whoooosh... Boom!!!
He swung around a giant hammer as big as his own body with effortless freedom,
delivering shocks that split not just street trees and traffic lights, but roads and building walls.
"When are the heroes coming?! Hurry up and come satisfy me!!"
He didn't even have one of those typical villain names,
but compared to the usual half-baked villains, he was undoubtedly a very threatening one.
"We are the Hero Magical Girls!"
Two girls with a fresh, cute vibe stepped up to block the terrifying man.
"Magical Aquamarine!"
"Magical Seraphina!"
"In the name of heroes and magical girls, two beacons of justice... we will judge you!"
Magical Aquamarine, with her sky-blue magical girl outfit.
Magical Seraphina, with her naturally refreshing charm.
The two magical girl heroes appeared before the man.
"Wha... what? Hero Magical Girls? Kuhahahaahaha!!!"
The girls, much smaller than him, showing up as heroes must have been hilarious,
because he burst into such booming laughter that it echoed down the street.
"Ahahaha! Haha... Sorry. This is just too funny.
These tiny little ladies are here to take me down as heroes?"
He bent down deeply to look at the two girls,
then prodded their wands with his thick fingers, acting dismissive.
"What, does magic come out of these toy wands or something? Huh?"
"Take this! Seraphina Expert Bind!"
-Whirrrrl... Splash!!!
"Wha... what's this?! These thorny vines?! Uwaaaah!"
Thorny vine tendrils shot out toward the man as he tried to snatch Aquamarine's wand.
Dozens of them tightly constricted his body.
"Those thorny vines contain a sedative poison that will calm your body down.
You'd better just sleep right there quietly."
Magical Seraphina aimed her wand at the man now bound entirely by the thorny vines.
"Grgh... If I was gonna lose to something like these stupid plants, I wouldn't have shown up...!!!!"
-Krrrrrack!!!
Veins bulging on his rugged muscles like they might burst any second,
the man roared with power and tore the constricting thorny vines to shreds.
"Hoo... Tough enough to be useful? Can't even eat 'em."
The sedative poison from the vines hadn't penetrated his body yet,
so he shrugged his shoulders and neck nonchalantly.
"You puny brats pulling sneak attacks like that. Aaaah?!"
"Kh...!"
His booming shout alone created a gust of wind from sheer force and intimidation.
The two girls flinched involuntarily under that pressure.
"Alright then, guess I'll have some fun too?
Time to play with our lively hero... whatever girlies you are."
He spun the massive metal hammer—hundreds of kilos, easy—like a toy,
then swung it down hard toward the girls.
"Hrah!!!"
-Kaboooom!!!
"Kyaaah?!"
The deafening roar that could burst eardrums filled the street,
creating a massive crack right in the middle of the pitch-black road.
"Uahahaahaha!!! Feels good, doesn't it?! Hahaha!!!"
Seraphina and Aquamarine, desperately dodging the fierce, swift attack, ended up tumbling over.
The man sneered at the girls scrambling around.
'They're definitely... stronger now. So I can go all out...!'
Bleeding from their bodies or suddenly collapsing was an everyday thing.
Now they couldn't even maintain their bodies without popping those pills regularly.
What they gained in exchange was an enormous 'output' of supernatural ability and terrifying 'destructive power'.
"Aqua... Hyper Bubble Blast!!!!!"
-Splash!!!
Aquamarine clenched her teeth and unleashed a technique beyond anything she'd managed before.
Dozens of water streams, fast enough to seem like beams of light, assaulted the man.
-Pssshhh...
"Kraaaagh!!!!!"
The high-pressure jets pierced through the man's seemingly unbreakable muscles and flesh,
blood spurting out in considerable amounts from his body.
"What the hell is this attack...!!!! Where'd this water cannon come from all of a sudden...?!!!!"
"How's that? The taste of my new technique, 'Aqua Hyper Bubble Blast'?"
The man, shocked that such destructive power came from this fragile girl beyond his expectations,
collapsed—not just from the physical hit, but mentally as well.
"Me... Me, collapsing from attacks by these fragile little girls...?
After all the harsh trials and battles with beasts I've endured...?"
Of course, as he said, he'd been tempered through all sorts of hardships and brutality,
but calling them 'fragile girls' was off the mark.
They were the ones who'd endured brutal experiments that even burly men like him couldn't survive,
and they'd done it more than ten times over.
"Seraphina... Are you hurt anywhere...?"
While the man was gathering himself, Aquamarine hurried to Seraphina, who'd taken a hard fall.
"Ughhh... Khrrr...!!"
But Seraphina seemed gripped by some intense rage,
glaring at the man with a furious expression and voice.
"Why... what's wrong? Seraphina! Can you hear me? Kyaaah?!"
"Uwaaaaaah!!!!!"
Aquamarine desperately grabbed Seraphina, who seemed unable to control herself amid her emotions,
but Seraphina shoved her away and charged at the man.
"Die... die... diiiiiie!!!!!!!"
-Whirrrl!!!
-Pssshhh!!!?
"Khaaaagh...!!!"
As Seraphina, lost in madness and fury, twisted and moved her body wildly,
far more vicious and sharp thorny vines than before pierced the man's body.
"Sera... phina...?!"
Thorny vines rough and jagged, as if embodying Seraphina's rage.
The man, already riddled with holes and gushing blood,
struggled even to breathe, coughing up blood and gasping.
"Grgh... Uwaaaaaah!!!!"
Even so, the rampaging Seraphina wasn't satisfied,
manipulating the vines to tear and twist the man's already near-dead body.
"Kaaaaaaaagh!!!!! Spare me!!!!!!"
-Krikkk... Krikkk...!!!!
The man's desperate pleas for mercy didn't reach the rampaging Seraphina's ears.
If anything, the vines just grew redder, soaked in his blood.
And before long, his pitiful screams fell silent.
"This... this isn't right....
Our purpose is to protect citizens from villains... but this..."
It was true the man had threatened citizens with his hulking body and giant hammer.
True that he'd destroyed a few street trees and walls in the city.
But this guy had never even been flagged as a major observation target by the Hero Union,
let alone actually injured any citizens...
Was he really a monster villain deserving such a gruesome death?
"Kyahahahahaha!!!!!!"
"Stop it! That's more than enough already!"
Seraphina, twisting her body madly and laughing in front of the blood-soaked thorny vines.
Aquamarine rushed to block her.
"Stop... Stop it!!! Seraphina!!!!!!!!"
But before Aquamarine's cry or body could reach her,
Seraphina suddenly collapsed limply right there.
"Seraphina?!!!"
Aquamarine dashed over and barely caught her before her head hit the ground,
but her face and body were already in an indescribable state.
'What the hell... what did the director do to us...?'
The director had only said severe side effects would hit within 24 hours without the drugs.
He'd never mentioned anything about emotions or abilities going berserk.
Yet Seraphina, after suddenly rampaging and collapsing, was bleeding profusely from her nose and mouth,
her face and lips pale as a corpse.
"A... qua...?"
"Seraphina?! Are you okay?!"
A moment later, Seraphina weakly opened her eyes in Aquamarine's arms,
and Aquamarine finally let out a sigh of relief at seeing the rampage had stopped.
"Aquamarine... you... blood..."
"Blood? Is it because there's so much?"
When Seraphina mentioned blood, Aquamarine thought she meant her own,
and wiped the blood from her mouth with her skirt hem.
But no matter how much she wiped the blood from her mouth, it still stained Seraphina's face.
"Not me... I mean... you, Aquamarine..."
What Seraphina pointed to was not herself, but Aquamarine.
"Th... this...!"
Just like Seraphina, blood was dripping from Aquamarine's nose and mouth.
