Lancer didn't waste any words, and he charged forward with his spear. The ground under his feet even turned into shattered rocks because of his terrifying explosive power, and his spear even flashed with a spark due to the friction with the air.
"Snap~!"
All Might, who blocked the spear with one hand, suddenly had a drastic change in his expression. Then he stomped on the ground and retreated a few steps.
No one had expected All Might to retreat in the first exchange, but when they saw the wound on All Might's left arm, their expressions all turned grim. All Might's most terrifying aspect was his strength, but in order to unleash this terrifying strength, his other "supporting facilities" were by no means weak. For example, his physical defense was far beyond most pro heroes who specialized in defense.
"Give up. For the sake of our acquaintance, I'll remind you that even you can't block the full-power strike of this magic spear. If you don't want your heart to be pierced, then let go! I will tell you all of my plans then!"
"I refuse!!"
"Slash~!!"
With All Might's firm voice, he tore off his clothes without hesitation. Along with his extremely impactful muscles, everyone also saw the wound on All Might's body. Those terrifying wounds explained the suffering that this "Symbol of Peace" had endured in the past.
"I believe you with my own eyes! But I still choose to refuse! This country has finally recovered its peace with great difficulty. I cannot give up because of a single sentence from you. This is a desecration of me and all the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the 'Chaotic Era'! So I choose to refuse! This is my responsibility as the 'Symbol of Peace' and the inheritor of their last wishes!"
His not-so-passionate tone narrated a matter that was more solemn than it was tragic, and everyone was also moved by what All Might said. Only Lancer expression became more and more serious.
Lancer believed that All Might was not a person who was greedy for power and fame, as he had proven himself with his life. But Lancer felt a deep sadness, a kind of lonely sorrow.
"A man who bears everything and moves forward..."
Lancer muttering was heard by everyone, and everyone's expressions were different. Some were very calm, some had complicated expressions, and some, like Endeavor, showed anger, but in the end, they all turned into a sigh like Lancer.
No matter the reason, All Might's actions were worthy of everyone's respect. At the very least, just by imagining the things that All Might had to bear, they felt a chill.
Is this really the life that a human should live?
Before, everyone just simply looked up to the "Symbol of Peace," and this had almost become a habit for everyone, but everyone forgot that the other party was not a born "Symbol of Peace." He was also a person, an ordinary person.
At this time, those glaring wounds that were once covered by his clothes seemed to constantly stimulate everyone's eyes, and for a while, they didn't know what to say.
But All Might didn't care. He had been like this for so many years. He didn't wave his fist for a certain person or a certain thing. He waved his fist for all his friends, family, teachers, and even strangers who fought alongside him until they sacrificed themselves.
He had no regrets, so he didn't need any pity from others. Right now, he only had one thing on his mind: to defeat Lancer!
If he had been lucky before, then the moment the helmet fell, he knew that if he held back, he would probably really lose. After all, "One For All" had already been given to Izuku Midoriya. At this time, the bonfire that once illuminated the dark era was no longer in his hands, and only the last ashes remained, but...
'Even if there are only the last ashes left, I want to make them burn to their heart's content!'
"This one strike! I will stop you! Lancer!!"
Facing All Might's words, Lancer also didn't say any nonsense. He even knew that as long as he could block this one strike, then...
"Hah~!"
Just like All Might just now, Lancer also took a deep breath. His originally impatient heart calmed down again, and then he opened his eyes.
"Bring it on!!"
The complicated thoughts were suppressed, and he also made his final decision: to entrust everything to the long spear in his hand!
"Boom!!"
As Lancer words fell, All Might's figure instantly disappeared. Along with the shattered earth and stones was a terrifying hurricane, but everyone just covered their faces with their hands, as they didn't want to miss this scene.
As for Lancer on the other side, he was like an old monk in meditation, holding his long spear in an attacking posture until a strong wind swept over...
"Bang!!"
"Snap~!"
A huge fist mark first appeared on the wall behind Lancer, and then it exploded. It was only at this time that everyone noticed that Lancer posture had also changed.
「Hissatsu-waza - Unnamed
Summary: Attacks the enemy's weakness at the moment they attack.
Effect: Critical hit rate +300%
Consumption: Consumes stamina over time, up to 6S」
Lancer didn't even notice the long-lost "notification sound" in his mind. He turned around and looked behind him. All Might was clutching the terrifying wound on his chest, which extended from his side to his shoulder.
But with his movements, the terrifying wound was actually squeezed by his muscles. Although a bloodstain could still be seen, his face was extremely calm, as if all of this was something he was used to.
"Are you still not giving up?"
Lancer voice was full of helplessness at this time. Unlike before, All Might was not an enemy in his eyes, and now he was also injured. Fighting him not only didn't give him any pleasure but would also give him a sense of guilt, so Lancer had no interest in it at all.
And facing Lancer question, All Might just moved his arm and then shook his head.
"You should know, I can't give up! Because I am not alone!"
The aura on All Might, which was gradually weakening, actually became stronger again. Lancer didn't know if it was his imagination, but he even felt that All Might was giving off the aura of more than one person.
'What an unreasonable ability...'
But unreasonable was unreasonable. Lancer couldn't really let All Might burn out without limit. He was just a human, and a human has a limit. And once he burns to his limit... it's like a bonfire that reignites when it meets air but eventually turns into ashes.
'Even for your sake, I must defeat you!'
Not being able to kill the opponent but having to restrain the opponent was an incredibly troublesome thing.
And there is no doubt that this was what the so-called "pro heroes" did. The more he experienced it, the more Lancer hated that twisted system, and the more he wanted to change it!
