Chapter 209 - Chapter 52: Heroes Assemble!

Sitting in the Hero Association meeting room, or rather, the "hall" now, Lancer was meticulously drawing the Rune in front of him.

The "Illusion" Rune he had painstakingly created before had already exhausted him, and now, trying to create "Draco-Tooth Warriors" made him feel even more dizzy.

'Doing these things is not as direct as just getting into a fight.'

But the problem was that Lancer goal was not to fight but to use this incident to make this world reflect. So, he needed some "showmanship."

'I wonder if I'll have a chance to get a magic-using item in the future.'

Although it sounds a bit incredible, thinking about his three cats that could be cute, fight, and cook, he suddenly started to feel a little expectant.

But expectations were expectations. He still needed to finish the things he had on hand first.

When he threw a pile of "Superior Dragon Bones" he had exchanged from the "Supply System" into the magic circle, some tall "Draco-Tooth Warriors" were already formed.

It has to be said that using dragon bones as the material for "Draco-Tooth Warriors" could give them a lot of enhancements. Of course, even so, they were still just Draco-Tooth Warriors, but they were still good for serving as minions.

As for why Lancer spent so much energy and even money to create these clumsy Draco-Tooth Warriors?

It's simple. It was because he didn't plan to recruit people like the "League of Villains." The people he recruited might be stronger, but his understanding of "human nature" made him give up on this option, because his goal was very simple: to make this somewhat twisted society reflect on itself through his actions.

As for a complete change?

To be honest, Lancer didn't have that idea. How could a system that had been in place for so many years be so easy to change?

Or rather, there were only two ways to change it: violently or subtly.

He didn't have enough time for a subtle change. As for a violent change, even All Might probably wouldn't agree. At that time, the two of them would be completely on opposite sides, which would undoubtedly go against Lancer original intention. So he could only choose to do something that was the next best thing.

To plant a seed through his actions.

So, in order to prevent this seed from being twisted at the beginning, he had to eliminate all unstable factors.

"Alright, now it's time for you all to perform."

The magic circle was complete. All Lancer had to do was throw the "Superior Dragon Bones" into the magic circle, retrieve the destroyed Draco-Tooth Warriors, and wait for the curtain of this play to rise.

The "Draco-Tooth Warriors," as a very common kind of puppet in Type-Moon's magic, could be said that any magician with a little bit of common sense would know how to deal with them. But for the people of this world, they were an incredibly novel thing.

It took Edgeshot a long time to completely dismantle one Draco-Tooth Warrior, and his expression became extremely grim, because he found that when he dismantled the Draco-Tooth Warrior, a new one appeared in the room, and the bones of the Draco-Tooth Warrior at his feet gradually disappeared.

He almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he completely gave up on the idea of killing the enemy inside to save people. Although with his ability, it was very easy to seize an opportunity, the problem was that bringing a person with him would increase the difficulty exponentially. After much hesitation, he decided to retreat for now.

Although it was a bit shameful for him as a "pro hero" to retreat without any results, a reckless advance that caused casualties was an even greater desecration of the name of a "hero"! Compared to the safety of the public, that boring reputation was meaningless.

And when Edgeshot retreated to the exit and pulled open the door, he was also stunned by the scene outside. Because at this time, the entire association... or rather, the castle, was sealed off. Countless police officers were blocking the outside, and many familiar heroes were also gathered in a group. When they saw Edgeshot come out, they also quickly surrounded him.

"How is it? What happened inside?"

The first to speak was a man who looked very "fierce."

He was in a black suit, had metal decorations on his chin, and four arms with brass knuckles. He was the famous "Gung-ho Hero: Fourth Kind."

"The situation is not good. I found a boy, but... I don't have the ability to save him."

When he said this, Edgeshot's expression was extremely grim. After all, he was a No. 5 pro hero.

But despite his grim expression, he still continued to introduce the "monsters" he had encountered to everyone.

"Skeletons holding cold weapons? They still move even if their heads are crushed and their bodies are cut? That really fits the title of 'ghost'..."

Fourth Kind's expression was extremely grim at this time. After all, he was the worst at dealing with those bizarre guys, and when he thought of a "bizarre" guy, he remembered one of his acquaintances.

"By the way, where is 'Ectoplasm'?"

"U.A. is a little far. All Might and the others are coming together, but Ectoplasm was originally responsible for the school's defense. It seems we have to ask him for help this time too..."

"Best Jean," who had also arrived, maintained his perfect appearance as always, but his tone also became a little heavy, as his quirk also seemed to have no effect.

As the No. 4 pro hero, his hero rank was even higher than Edgeshot's. This was because his quirk had extremely strong versatility. As long as the enemy was wearing clothes, he could control them, but according to Edgeshot's introduction, the opponents seemed to be skeletons? Not to mention clothes, they had nothing but bone weapons on them, which undoubtedly made him almost useless.

And just as everyone was communicating, a commotion arose in the crowd in the distance, and then a man with flames all over his body walked over.

"Endeavor? You're here too."

"Yes, not only me, but Hawks is also here, but his agency is a little further, so he will need a while."

At this time, Endeavor no longer had his usual arrogance. Instead, his expression looked extremely serious.

"How long has it been since the top five heroes of the Hero Association were all gathered together? It would be even better if it wasn't for this reason..."

At this time, the old man, who had a gloomy expression from the beginning, also couldn't help but sigh.

Although the Hero Association held regular meetings, a few people were usually missing because everyone was in charge of a different area, and no one could guarantee that nothing would happen during the meeting period. But Endeavor patted the old man on the shoulder.

"President! We will definitely take back the association headquarters!"

Although Endeavor had some flaws in his private morality, as a pro hero who took All Might as his life goal, he would absolutely not allow this kind of person!

"I will make him repent for his actions in the flames!"
