TEORA – Maroon Five – Chapter 39

Corrections: If you see“Red” in the chapter, please note that this is “Blue” or Beni Koutaro froht Ikeno I reckon this is just a mistake made by the author

I won’t leave traitors alone

A ball of energy rapidly approached Neito

Unlike Ikeno, he didn’t have the ability to react and dodge quickly If he took it head on, he would surely die

That’s why, now’s the time

His operation was a success, but it would be the first time he would transform

“Due to the effects of the Beetle Crystal, your [Spiritual Silhouette]’s poill have significantly increased” were the words of Maki “There’s a possibility that you will beco around the battlefield and die”

That would be scary

But, I’oing down this path You ratification, but the path I chose is necessary for oal

I’m a villain More evil than anybody

There’s no way my spirit would break me

[……Transform]

Neito spoke in a soft, yet low tone

It wasn’t so he was proud to say in public Unlike theht of all the sins he coet to this point

The darkness inside hi His back started to heat up

‘Annihilate’

He fully understood what that word rasp the definition of the word ‘Annihilate’

His body started to change Darker, stronger

His transformation also had an effect on his ht

But he didn’t dare to He held it in

I’m the only one that can control my silhouette

I can’t last long in this forh

Red’s justice hammer rapidly approached

That must pack some real punch… Isn’t it supposed to be done by five people all at once? That won’t be enough to defeat me

He held up his right ar nail-like claws, and caught the punch in his palreat explosion occurred It hurt, but he was fine

As the smoke cleared out, Red noticed his transformation and instantaneously deployed a barrier

[……What the–…]

Neito confirs

I see… so this is how my spiritual silhouette looks like… It’s not bad No, it is {bad} I like it

[I call it {Evil Silhouette}…… is it too simple?]

[I won’t lose to you]

[Then, here I come!]

Neito took his stance and dashed towards Red He was fast, even he was surprised at his speed The control room seemed far away in an instant

So this is how they live

Neito proceeded to strike with his claws

(TLN: I may say claws just to shorten the ‘nail-like claws’ on his arms)

[Die!]

[That won’t happen]

Clang!

The sound reverberatedRed ed to block Neito’s claith his psychic barrier

That’s soot there… But you look like you’re suffering You’re sweating a lot and I see that you’re

clenching your teeth so hard that your gu

[Take this!]

Heroes sure are aed to break free and distance himself with his psychic powers

Neito felt the air around him vibrate and held up his arm to stop the force from the psychic attack He stopped it with his left arm

There was a distance of few meters between them as a result of that attack

[Here I come!]

Not wanting to shorten the distance, Red gathered concrete blocks that were lying around into a pile and threw them towards him

[Hm-!]

Neito defended hi towards him

Defense wasn’t his sole quality He gathered up spiritual energy towards his claws, and released a shockwave towards Red

Red ed to shake it off with his psychic power

Even if he e to shake off the attack, there were some parts of his body which he couldn’t protect Yet, he still kept on fighting

In terms of attack power, the beast and the superhuman were equal

damn… so we’re about equal to each other huh? The Maroon Five are considered A-class heroes after all… I couldn’t expect less But as he stands alone, he should be around C-class, he should be easier to deal with than Beetle and Dylan

If I had a choice, I would finish him off as soon as possible, but I wouldn’t dare…

Well that’s just like me

Finish hih That may look cool, but it isn’t my style at all

The s along the floor where they were fighting were all shattered to pieces, and one section of the wall had a huge hole Neito surveyed the situation outside

I can clearly see the testing grounds from here

Maroon Five’s Pink caught his eye She was fighting a squad led by Ikeno Although surrounded, she handled herself very well against them

A Maroon Five’scapabilities She specialized in healing which is useless in this situation

The person which had thecapabilities was Red That Red stood equal to Neito

In terms of control over the battlefield, the Maroon Five had the advantage Neito and Red wereforce barely held on while suppressing the other Maroon Five h, they are bound to run out of firepower and stamina

It was thanks to the control roouidance froh, the Maroon Five would breakthrough Neito and his co in his reinforce two Maroon Five members at the same time In the end they would lose

That was the situation he saw

Then, theto do is…

[Hahaha… Hey Red, do you value your fellow comrades?]

Neito asked Red while they were fighting Neito was laughing because he knew Red did

[…What are you saying?]

[…Let us see if you can reht path Mr Hero]

Neito greatly distanced hi back, broke the s and jumped down from the top floor

Using his wings, he fleards the floor which he had his eyes on

He was ai Ikeno and his squad on the testing grounds

Pink was rated below Red Since they specialized in psychic powers, her reflexes were slow If Neito descended with speed towards her from above, he would surely kill her

In the end this was a gamble

Neito’s objective was to guard the control room from Red Neito left Red alone and headed out for Pink Red could go inside the control room, kill Niina and then head out after him

If that were to happen, Metallica comhting force would fall into ruin and soon be annihilatedAlthough Maroon Five would only have 4 members left, they would ultimately win the battle

To Neito, the worst action Red could take was [ignore Neito, and head to the control room] At that end Neito would kill Pink

Niina would die on the other hand, and the control roo poould pluet overrun by their enemies

If I were Red, that’s what I would do

Your life and your comrades’ lives are important, and you should protect what you can currently protect But to s to be prioritized than that That’s why I’ll abandon what I’m supposed to protect and attack Pink

But hey Mr Hero, do you think you have the resolve to do that?

While flying, Neito looked behind his shoulders for a moment

[Sakura-chan! I won’t let you–!]

Red was following Neito, levitating with the help of his powers, leaping down from the top floor

So he came after me… No I kneould come after me

After all you are warriors bound by love and friendshi+p In order to protect that little happiness people have you are willing to fight

You said it yourself didn’t you? ‘I won’t let soreater cause’

You should be proud of your belief That type of justice is what truly makes you a real human

I believed in you I believed that you would come after me because of your sense of justice

But, that would be the reason you will lose

Those [people ant to protect] are just a form of prejudice To me, they are no more than [people that need to be destroyed] A sacrifice is a sacrifice

[Tsurugi! Ikeno! You knohat to do!]

Neito was about to land He trusted the his transformed form They didn’t need any telepathy

Red came in late behind him

I’ve seen this scene so a, Anime and RPGs

“I’ll definitely save every person! I won’t let you change our world! You are alrong…”

And the villain gets defeated

That’s one crappy cliché

I understand You want to change the world by saving everyone without destroying anything, without hurting anybody

But I’m not God I can’t do that perfectly But i will still tread this path

‘Don’t give up oneverybody happy?’

Don’tto make that true?

You and I are no different You fight for what you think is right You are wonderful hus

But because you are, there’s no way you can win against me

[Stop! Hikari (Kou)-kun don’t come!]

Pink was screaher detection capabilities than her comrades

I see so you complement each other to cover your weaknesses That’s very poetic of you

But,

[You’re too late]

Neito landed behind Pink while she was distracted protecting herself fro bullets

Neito gathered energy from his [Evil silhouette] onto his claws

But it wasn’t to take down Pink

[Haaaaaaaaaaaa-!!]

Neito kicked off the ground and flew once again

[Wha–!!]

My target has always been you! Beni Koutarou!

His flight must be unstable His speed is not much and he can’t perform any maneuvers while in the air I’s to worry about

Will you be able to take my hit?

[Hyaaaaaaaa–!!]

Neito’s claws never reached Red He ed to deploy a barrier in that brief moment

They clashed ht which was equal to the second floor of the closest building The shockwave traveled throughout the area

You’re really so, heroes of justice… but I’m not done yet

[Tsurugi! Ikeno!]

[Understood!]

[Don’t order me around!]

The two of the reacted to Neito’s voice Ikeno must have already read the situationHe was already done loading his [Gun – Blade] and aimed for Red’s back

Tsurugi also ju his Katana at Red

They left their post for a amble If they can’t defeat Red there and now, then it would be over for them

[Haaaaaaaaa–!]
