Lancer never abandoned his compassion, but he was also never naive enough to show mercy to his enemies. All Might, however, was quite 'special'.
The other party's goal was undoubtedly to capture him. Once he was captured, if he was lucky, he would stay in prison until the time was up. If he was unlucky, who knows what he would encounter. Lancer never had any expectations for his luck. After all, he would rather rely on himself than on the ethereal 'luck'.
But when the other party said, "I am willing to vouch for you," Lancer could be sure that the other party said those words with sincerity.
'What a contradictory opponent.'
So, with the other party having no killing intent, Lancer naturally wouldn't try to kill him. His attacks were basically all aimed at the other party's limbs, the purpose of which was nothing more than to deprive the other party of their mobility and then escape. But without a doubt, he failed in the end.
All Might may not be proficient in technique. He walks a path of overpowering skill with strength. However, after fighting on the 'Pro Hero' path for so many years and defeating countless enemies with strange and wonderful abilities, his own understanding of combat has, from a certain perspective, returned to its original simplicity. So, after sensing Lancer attack route, he decisively moved his shoulder away, and it was his cheek that was grazed instead.
As for Lancer on the other side, although he looked a little miserable, with the clothes he just bought on the street completely ruined, this was entirely because he was hit by the aftermath of the other party's blow.
However, Lancer also came to truly understand All Might's terror. If that punch had hit him, Lancer would probably have been completely suppressed, after all, his strength was weaker than his opponent's. He mainly relied on agility, but once his lungs were injured, the result was self-evident.
Lancer was looking for a 'chance', while All Might was observing the 'tattoos' and scars on Lancer body.
There were many cuts and puncture wounds on his body, which was enough to prove that the other party fought frequently, but what attracted him more was the lifelike 'higanbana' tattoo. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the conspicuous higanbana seemed to be glowing, and when he looked directly at it, he even felt that his vision was about to be taken away by it.
But in that instant of his distraction, a sense of crisis appeared in his mind.
Without any hesitation, he threw both fists forward with all his might!
'Damn it!!'
Feeling the long spear that could no longer stab forward, Lancer face immediately became extremely ugly.
He had originally seized the moment of the other party's distraction and launched a sudden attack, but he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so fast. It could even be said that it was completely the other party's natural reaction. This was muscle memory!
And the long spear that was originally enough to pierce through a general dangerous species was stuck hard in the other party's hand.
"I got you!"
All Might on the other side didn't seem to notice the blood on his fist at all. Instead, he grabbed the spear with his other hand.
Indeed, distraction was his mistake, but adaptability was also a necessary quality for a Pro Hero!
But just as he was about to pull Lancer over using the long spear, he realized that the 'spear' in his hand seemed a little strange. A strange burning sensation began to spread from his hands to his entire body, as if the blood in his body was being burned...
'Something's wrong!'
Although he didn't know what was going on, the source of all the 'abnormalities' was the long spear in his hand. There was no doubt about this. He decisively let go of his right hand, and the strange burning sensation, as expected, began to gradually subside.
Lancer, who pulled away, shook his palm, which was a little hot from the friction. He had to admit that he probably couldn't beat the other party in a head-on attack for now, but it was just 'can't beat' him.
When he saw the other party 'frown', Lancer knew that the time had come.
This time was not his time, but the other party's time.
"Although I don't want to admit it, I still can't beat you without a handy weapon. Let's have a match again next time if we have a chance."
Lancer was almost certain that if he didn't leave now, All Might would probably go all out to hide the fact that he was 'injured'. At that time, it would probably be impossible for him not to hold back if he wanted to avoid being caught by the other party. At that time, even if both of them could survive, they would probably both be seriously injured.
Although there were problems between the two of them, it was not yet at the point of a life-and-death struggle, so he chose to retreat without hesitation, but All Might didn't know that Lancer had thought so much.
"Do you think you can escape? I think you also know that once I set my sights on you, it's impossible for you to escape at my speed!"
"Is that really so?"
He tied the cloak around his neck like a scarf, and an ice spear appeared in the palm of his right hand.
"Don't try the same trick again!!"
He punched the ice spear, and without a doubt, the ice spear instantly turned into countless ice particles. The surroundings were immediately covered by ice fog, but All Might's attack was not over. The violent wind pressure exploded at the point of his attack, and the original ice fog was completely blown away before it could spread.
And All Might instantly locked onto Lancer in the distance!
"Don't even think about running!!"
"Bang!!"
The ground under his feet cracked again, and he himself turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed straight towards Lancer, but when he grabbed Lancer neck, he realized that something was wrong. The Lancer in his hand seemed a little too hard?
"Crack~!"
In his unbelievable eyes, 'Lancer' completely turned into a piece of ice powder, and there seemed to be no second person in this area that had been completely destroyed by the battle besides him.
"Damn it!!"
All Might knew that he had been tricked! The capture this time had failed.
"Headquarters, this is All Might. The capture... failed."
Almost at the same time that All Might was reporting, the operator at the headquarters froze for a few seconds.
"Failed?"
"That's right, it failed. I will submit a detailed report when I get back."
The grim-faced All Might looked at the ice powder in his hand and the strange patterns on the ground, and he couldn't help but frown.
All Might, who had been simply blaming himself for Lancer escape, seemed to have found some clues. This location seemed to be where Lancer stood before the battle began, and during the battle, the other party seemed to have intentionally avoided this place. This area seemed to be the only well-preserved place in the battlefield...
After frowning and memorizing the strange patterns on the ground, All Might also called the police to come and handle the scene, and he himself had to return to the Hero Association, not only to write a report, but more importantly, to investigate some information.
Part of the original doubt was resolved, but a greater doubt appeared in his mind...
'Who exactly is this person?'
