The Hero Association's alarm instantly resounded throughout City A.
WARNING
"Emergency Evacuation Warning! A swarm of strange 'Demon-Eyed Bats' has appeared in the upscale commercial district of City A. Disaster Level: Ghost!! Residents in the vicinity are urged to evacuate to designated safe locations as soon as possible!"
"Repeated! Emergency evacuation warning..."
WARNING
To be precise, the individual strength of this group of demonic bats is only at the tiger level.
However, the sheer size of the cluster means that the overall threat level is undoubtedly at the ghost level!
The Hero Association headquarters' operations room instantly became bustling with activity.
"Quickly! Send the A-rank heroes patrolling nearby to the scene immediately for support!"
"Smiling Man and Butterfly DX, who are patrolling nearby, have responded to the dispatch, but are unable to stop the monster horde!"
"Damn it, aren't there any heroes nearby who excel at wide-area attacks? Like 'Raiden Genji'?"
"Uh... 'Raiden Genji' has been transferred to F City this month and won't be able to get here in time!"
Just as the operations room feared, these Evil Eye Bats were not only numerous, but also extremely fast!
Their attack method is a mental shock that is difficult to defend against. Even A-level heroes cannot effectively stop them. Instead, they are caught off guard and in danger.
Just as the city was about to descend into utter chaos.
A pale blue telekinetic barrier, like a giant, transparent glass bowl, silently opened up in the sky above the bustling commercial district.
The hundreds and thousands of eerie purple mental shockwaves generated by the "Demon-Eyed Bats" were all intercepted by the barrier. The madness and malice contained within them exploded and dissipated at the moment of collision, then disappeared without a trace.
The attack by the bat monsters has been neutralized!
"Look! It's...it's a hero!"
"Saved! We are saved!"
"That's... Fubuki-sama!!"
On the ground, people who had recovered from the mental shock erupted in a huge cheer of relief.
They looked up in surprise, gazing upwards at the barrier that had sheltered everyone.
In mid-air, an incredibly beautiful figure was slowly rising from the rooftop of a department store.
The newcomer was none other than the number one B-class hero in the Hero Association, "Hell's Blizzard"!
Today she wore a form-fitting dark green bodycon dress that perfectly accentuated her mature and voluptuous curves.
As she floated in the sky, her long, black-stockinged legs, partially obscured by the airflow, exuded a deadly allure.
Her long, smooth, jet-black hair with a hint of green fluttered gently in the breeze stirred up by her superpowers, making her usually aloof and pretty face appear even more sacred and inviolable.
However, only Fubuki herself knew that her heart was far from as calm as it appeared.
"My power... is growing!"
She looked down at her fair and slender hands, her heart filled with unease.
Due to her own superpowered talent, she has reached a point where even with persistent training, she can hardly improve.
It's safe to say that it has already reached its limit!
Creating such a massive telekinetic barrier that instantly covers an entire block is something only an older sister could do.
In the past, Fubuki has tried similar ways of using superpowers.
The result is either a barrier as fragile as paper, or one that collapses instantly due to energy depletion as soon as it is formed.
However, today, she felt as if she had divine assistance.
The telekinetic barrier he constructed easily intercepted the mental attacks of thousands of monsters, and he only felt slightly strained, and was even able to launch a counterattack!
Keep in mind that before she made her move, she was prepared for her superpowers to collapse and be completely exhausted!
—How strange…
However, now is clearly not the time to explore these matters.
"A swarm of disgusting bats, get down from the sky!"
A faint golden light flickered in the depths of Fubuki's icy gaze.
She raised her hands and pointed them towards the sky in front of her.
"Hellfire!"
A psychic tornado, more powerful than ever before, rose from the ground!
With overwhelming force, it roared and charged towards the swarm of demonic bats in the sky!
"Chirp chirp chirp—!"
Dozens of demonic bats were caught off guard and instantly swept into the terrifying tornado.
Before they could even scream, they were torn to shreds by the psychic storm, which was so violent it could twist steel, until they were annihilated!
Chapter 244 Fubuki's Resistance
Although Fubuki's furious attack was incredibly powerful, clearing a small patch of sky, it couldn't cover all the enemies.
Most importantly, there are just too many "Demon Eye Bats"!
More demonic bats bypassed the terrifying hellfire and launched a suicidal saturation attack on Fubuki herself from all directions!
In an instant, hundreds of purple mental shockwaves, from all angles—up, down, left, and right—were woven into a net of death, simultaneously bombarding Fubuki.
"W-what...!"
Fubuki's expression changed slightly, and she quickly composed herself and removed the large-scale energy barrier in the sky.
In an instant, dozens of high-speed rotating telekinetic shields appeared in front of and behind him, forming a spherical absolute defensive circle.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang-!
The deafening, dense impacts merged into one, and the pale blue telekinetic shield trembled violently under the storm of attacks.
The surface is covered with a dense web of cracks, as if it could shatter at any moment.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xue's smooth forehead, and her breathing became rapid.
Even though her superpowers had inexplicably increased significantly, facing such a large number of enemies still put her under immense pressure.
The rate at which her telekinetic powers were being depleted far exceeded her expectations.
"Damn it... It's not enough! Is my power still not enough?"
She bit her lower lip tightly, a sense of resentment welling up inside her.
Just as Fubuki's energy shield was about to shatter.
A terrifying, emerald-green psychic force, a thousand times stronger than her and so domineering it seemed capable of crushing souls, descended from the sky like an emerald ocean without warning!
The surrounding air instantly froze as if it were solid, and all sounds, light, and even space itself seemed to be distorted by this force!
That domineering and tyrannical power was completely unreasonable, and instantly suppressed the entire world shrouded in green light!
"Tch, still as useless as before, can't even handle a few little bats."
A cool, arrogant, and incredibly familiar voice rang in her ears.
Fubuki suddenly turned around, her pupils contracting sharply.
Suddenly, her sister Tornado appeared behind her, hovering silently in mid-air.
She still has that same petite appearance that never changes, like a delicate girl who will never grow up.
A black, high-slit long dress fluttered in the wind, revealing a large expanse of fair and delicate skin.
That exquisitely beautiful face, a work of art in itself, was now filled with disdain and contempt. She crossed her arms and looked at the demonic bats in the sky with the same eyes she would use to look at trash.
"Sister... Sister? What are you doing here?"
Fubuki was stunned, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.
There was the relief of being saved, the embarrassment of being seen, and a trace of... dependence that even she herself was unwilling to admit.
"Why can't I be here?"
Tornado rolled her eyes cutely, her gaze finally settling on her younger sister, her tone full of reprimand.
"As for you, why did you have to come out here and try to be a hero? Wouldn't it be better to stay home and practice your superpowers?"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense and move aside, don't get in my way."
Tornado impatiently interrupted her, her emerald green eyes, like the finest emeralds, sweeping across the swarm of demonic bats in the sky.
With just one glance, the world changed color instantly!
A terrifying green, telekinetic ocean transforms from a filter-like backdrop into a real, unmistakable tsunami, roaring down!
All the demonic bats in the sky that were still roaring and attacking suddenly froze in mid-air, unable to move, as if a pause button had been pressed!
Their bodies, like wrung-out rags, twisted and squeezed uncontrollably, becoming completely deformed!
"Chirp...chirp...chirp..."
The bat monsters let out desperate cries, but to no avail.
In the face of absolute power, all struggles are futile.
“Get me out of this world…”
Tornado stretched out her fair and delicate hand, spread her five fingers, and then gently clenched it.
"……disappear."
There was no earth-shattering explosion, but rather a muffled tremor as if the world had been muted.
In the sky, thousands of ferocious demonic bats were forcibly erased from three-dimensional space at the same time, in the same instant, by an incomprehensible force! Every cell that made up their bodies was annihilated in an instant, turning into countless tiny particles at the microscopic level that drifted away with the wind and returned to nothingness.
The sky, which was dark and gloomy one second, returned to its clear and sunny state the next.
The people on the ground, the staff in the Hero Association headquarters' operations room who witnessed everything, and Fubuki who was standing right next to her, all stared in disbelief at the petite yet god-like figure floating in mid-air.
This is... the power of the second-ranked S-class, "Tornado of Terror".
It easily annihilated a Demon-level calamity with a single move, its power was breathtaking!
Fubuki subconsciously lowered her head, trying to avoid Tatsumaki's scrutinizing gaze, biting her lips until they turned white.
Even though his own power had been enhanced to an unprecedented level, his sister...
It's still that same older sister.
It was still that unreachable cliff that she could never climb in her entire life.
"You're not allowed to show off by yourself anymore, understand?"
Tornado's reprimanding voice rang out again, carrying an unquestionable commanding tone.
However, this time, Fubuki did not choose to accept it silently, as she had done countless times before.
She slowly raised her head and looked directly into Tornado's emerald green eyes. Her gaze no longer held only awe and reverence, but also a complex meaning that Tornado had never seen before.
“But you, sister,” Fubuki’s voice was soft but unusually clear, “don’t you always like to show off?”
"……what?"
High in the sky, Tornado's exquisite expression froze for several seconds for the first time.
"Those nights..."
Fubuki's gaze became stubborn and sharp, as if she wanted to pierce through her sister's hard shell and reach her softest heart.
"You were already... completely powerless to resist, yet you still tried to act tough and stand in front of me to protect me."
"Even you, sister, have things you can't do, right?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Tornado's fair and delicate cheeks turned bright red instantly, visible to the naked eye, from her cheeks all the way to her ears, like a boiled shrimp.
The terrifying green light formed by her psychic powers flickered violently and erratically due to the intense fluctuations in her emotions, as if it were about to go out of control at any moment!
