Chapter 65 - CH 50: PAST? (4) (2/2)
”I do not know how you reached here by yourself, but if you did, most likely it means that this place cannot serve as a hideout anymore. What is about to happen is a little sad since I liked it this place quite a bit, but that life. Ahahah, you really shouldn't listen to the rambling of a villain. I hope that you'll love my present. After all...It will be your last one.”
The recording immediately stopped. While Kuroha stood here more confused than anything. He feels like his life was really in danger this time. As if to answer his fear.
[PROTOCOL REDLAW ACTIVATED: TOTAL ANIHLATION]
[...BOUNDED FIELD ACTIVATED...]
[...ALL DOC.U.MENTS ERASED…]
[...ALL SOURCE OF ENERGY DISABLED…]
[...ACTIVATION OF THE FISSION…]
[...EXPLOSION IN 300 SECONDS…]
[...SHUT DOWN OF THE MAIN UNIT…]
[....GOOD LUCK N°3771…]
*Rumble* *Rumble*
Kuroha's expression was ugly to behold, he tried to teleport, but nothing happened, his quirk wouldn't work. The same happened when he cut his hand. The moment the blood flowed out of his body, he lost all control of it.
He never felt so vulnerable.
Still, he keeps a cool head and began to run towards the exits without hesitation. Now wasn't the time to scream.
As he begins running, he couldn't help but scream. He needed to vent some of the frustration in his heart
”I TOLD YOU THAT SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN!!!”
(”SUT UP AND RUN AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPEND ON IT”)
Kuroha really runs as if his life depended on it. After all...It did.
---
Kuroha runs and runs but it wasn't enough. If the alarm could be trusted, he had less than 5 minutes to get out of this trap.
But without his quirk, he was far too slow.
(Think! Think! Think!)
His mind was operating in overdrive. Despite his inability to form his hoverboard or teleport, he was still faster than a normal human but it wasn't enough. He didn't know how strong would be and how far it would go, but the term Total annihilation showed that it wouldn't be child play.
(Think! Think! Think!)
It was the first time Kuroha really felt death. During all those years, he always fought weaklings who could never harm him, and even against Muscular, he wasn't really scared.
He always had full confidence in himself. But perhaps this confidence transformed into arrogance?
Should he give up? What was the use of running? Shouldn't he just lay down and wait for death?
(NO!)
He begins to think about everything he did and all those he meets. Nighteye, Rei and all those he cared about filled his mind. At the very end, a picture entered his mind.
Momo and Himiko smiling at him.
(No way I can give up. I still need to become reconciled with Momo)
(No way I can give up, who will keep Himiko from destroying her life if I die.)
(I cannot die, I will not die. Think, I need to think.)
Many possible solutions passed through his mind as he discarded them one after the other. Finally, he remembered a scene.
The moment when he cut his hand. He could still feel some form of control. It was only after the blood flowed out that he lost control.
What did this mean? It means that he could still control his blood internally.
(Shit!)
He wasn't happy with this answer. He never managed to control his blood internally. Each try finished in failure.
But right now, he was his sole hope. He had to succeed.
The moment this thought entered his head, his mind suddenly became extremely clear.
He didn't need something too complicated.
He didn't need to control his blood drop by drop.
He just needed to pump his blood at full power.
He just needed... To speed up his blood flow in all his body.
His mind had never been clearer. He didn't know why this was happening, but he didn't care either. He was just happy to have found an answer. What's more, a perfect name also appeared in his mind.
He concentrated. He could feel his body heat up considerably. His blood began to flow faster and faster in his body.
His heart began to hurt. His lungs ruptured. Blood filled his throat as he stopped himself from spitting it. Multiple wounds began to form on his body as his organs were destroyed and regenerated. Blood covered his body from head to toe.
(It hurt, it hurt like hell. But it is working, and that is all that matter)
He screamed the name of this new technique while tears of blood flowed from his eyes.
”[NUEVA ESPERANZA]!!!”
One moment he was simply running a little faster than the fastest normal human could run...The next moment? He was running faster than the n.a.k.e.d eye could see.
Nueva Esperanza. New hope. There was no better name for the sole technique that could save him from sure death.
He runs and runs and runs without stopping. Soon, he reached the zone where the elevator was. Obviously, it wasn't working, and even if it did, it would be too slow.
He tried to activate [BLINK], but it seemed like he still couldn't activate quirk outside of his body.
Looking at the elevator and the hole that was above it. He didn't stop but rather accelerated. His only hope was to run on the wall and reach the first laboratory above him.
He refused to believe that this field could be big enough to reach until that far.
As he continued to accelerate, his body continued to destroy itself. This wasn't a technique that could be used without a high regeneration factor.
The blood continued to flow out from his boy, but the temperature was so high that it transformed into steam… A bloody steam.
After a while, of running on the wall, kuroha could finally see it.
He could see the opening.
He reached it and landed heavily on the floor of the first laboratory.
He couldn't run anymore. Simply breathing was so difficult that he felt like he would die.
Still, it didn't matter. He did it. He escaped.
Now; there shouldn't be much time. In order to avoid an accident, he decided to activate his [BLINK] and get out of here.
But...Nothing happened.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(AN: KYAAHH!!! What happened? Did he survive? Did he die? While he goes to the next world? Should I create a new mc? All this will be answered in the next and last chapter of this arc. PAST? (5). )
