Chapter 79 Heavenly Dog Fan

Chapter 79 Heavenly Dog Fan
?

As the source of all the extraordinary,

Yu was aware of the battle taking place in Setagaya Ward.

Even he didn't expect that 'Onoda' would pull such a move.

Although theoretically the other party is indeed a subordinate of 'Paper Dance', it's not unusual for them to cry for help halfway through a fight.

Unless he's planning to visit a laboratory in America.

Then,

To save or not to save?

Yu, who was taking classes in Adachi Ward, smiled wryly.
What's there to hesitate about? It's time to openly and honestly grind for proficiency!

? !
Setagaya Ward,

Seeing the 'Puppet Master' fall in an instant,
The American executives, who were already preparing to pop the champagne, were all taken aback.

What do you mean?
They actually called for help on the battlefield?

What happened to your island nation's Bushido spirit?!

However, no matter how shocked and angry they were, it did not change the fact that a certain being had appeared.

slam-la-

A large amount of paper flew out of the house that had been smashed open.

"is her?!"

"Damn, how could it be so fast?"

"As a C-level extraordinary being, it's perfectly normal for him to be able to appear anywhere there's 'paper'."

With no time to listen to the 'experts' nonsense, Brigadier General Thomas placed his hands on the control panel and loudly issued instructions:

"Attention all units! Attention all units!"

"Class C transcendent being 'Paper Dance' has entered the battlefield. Level 1 alert!"

Everyone present was 'extraordinary'.
They had all heard the shout from their target, but they hadn't expected the enemy reinforcements to arrive so quickly.

"Why are you in such a mess?"

In the sky, the swirling papers formed the figure of 'Paper Dance' in the blink of an eye. She looked around and frowned.

"Have you fallen into someone else's trap?"

Hi, I'm so sorry!

From the hollow of the building below, an old man with gray hair, clutching a twisted arm, emerged. His armor was tattered, and he bowed his head in apology, looking ashamed.

He thought he had gotten away with it without anyone noticing, and was quite pleased with himself for slapping America in the face; little did he know that they had even prepared a trap, and he was completely unaware.

His supernatural power paralyzed him.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Lady Paper Dance!"

Facing the paper girl in the sky, Onoda stood at attention, bowed, and apologized with a resounding tone.

His whole body exudes a 'summoning core' style.

"That's fine,"

"Since you were recruited by that lord, I will save your life."

After speaking, Paper Dance turned and glanced at the five extraordinary American officers who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, the girl leading two giant dogs, and the two policewomen who had rushed over from afar.
They were all familiar faces, but their energy levels were significantly higher than before, showing that they hadn't been idle during this time.

brush,

He opened the paper fan in his hand, and the paper dance swept across the battlefield from above.

"Get out of the way, human."

"I don't like killing, but if you insist—"

Seeing that no one was going to back down, Paper Dance stopped talking and gracefully waved her paper fan:
"Paper Snowflakes!"

Splash,

Countless sheets of paper flew out of her fan and fell like snowflakes.

"careful,"

"Be on guard—"

However, the extraordinary beings from the island nation and America below were well aware of this 'paper dancer's' abilities and quickly dodged to avoid her. But:
Brush, brush, brush, brush, brush, brush, brush

The papers that were originally falling to the ground suddenly began to spin rapidly, like shuriken.

As its speed increased dramatically, it seemed to have an automatic tracking ability, attacking everyone present from all directions at the same time!

This attitude completely disregarded everyone present.

"Sonic Chop!"

"Spiderweb mine!"

On the American side, Colonel Guile unleashed a vacuum slash to intercept; several other superhuman officers also pulled out specially made grenades and threw them out.

After these grenades explode, they form tough metal meshes, originally intended to intercept drones.

The same method used to intercept these papers will also work!
On the other side, Hoshino Tanimura jumped directly onto the back of the Shiba Inu and commanded another military dog to retreat quickly: even without Director Takeya's instructions, she had no interest in working for the Americans.

When they reached the halfway point, Iori Kazuka raised her hand to signal to stop, and then made a gesture.

Fuji Seiko set up her anti-materiel sniper rifle and aimed at the paper dance floating in the sky.

boom!
The 20mm armor-piercing rounds roared out, enough to penetrate ordinary armored vehicles.

but--

Sheets of white paper flew over, layering together to form a shield in front of the bullet's trajectory.

clang,

Amidst the melodious clanging of metal,
The carrot-sized bullet dented into the paper shield, penetrating through more than a dozen layers, but eventually exhausted its kinetic energy.

"Hehe~~ Toys made by human craftsmen are nothing special."

Their gazes fell on Fujisei, who had fired the shot. As the two policewomen felt a chill, several sheets of white paper shot towards them. Simultaneously, black patterns began to appear on the papers, causing Iori Ichika's pupils to contract:
"Get out of the way, it's a bomb paper!"

He tackled Fujiko to the ground, and the two were instantly engulfed in the flames of the explosion.

"They escaped,"

Paper Dance tilted her head; she could see it very clearly.

Just as the detonator was about to explode, the female police officer, who was in close combat, punched through the roof, and the two fell downwards, avoiding the explosion.

It's somewhat interesting, but not much.

"How boring, is this all you're capable of?"

Faced with Paper Dance's mockery, or rather, the statement of facts, everyone present remained silent.

There's a proverb that says it well:
The army is made of soil, the navy is made of foreigners, and the air force is just a bunch of thugs!

This 'Paper Dancer' floats in the air with terrifyingly high mobility, and almost all of her abilities are 'ranged' attacks. She can also turn paper into explosives, making her far superior to the 'Puppet Master' whose attacks are straightforward.

As for the island nations and America, none of their superhumans can fly; they can only stand on the ground and watch helplessly!

Even Fujisawa Seiko's heavy anti-materiel sniper rifle couldn't penetrate it, so the only option was to use armor-piercing rounds or similar weapons. But here's the problem: this Paper Dancer is clearly not the kind of old-fashioned person who'll just stand there and let them shoot her down. She can actively intercept Tomahawk missiles, meaning she's very knowledgeable about modern weaponry.

"You neither fight nor retreat, what do you mean by this?"

Faced with a paper dance that floats above the 'Puppeteer' surrounded by countless pieces of paper.

After leaving the enemy's attack range, the American and island nation's extraordinary beings did not retreat.

Because they were waiting for reinforcements who could turn the tide of the battle:
Amidst the rapid, hurried footsteps, three more Americans arrived. Protecting the one in the middle was a man in a police uniform, but with a thick, bald head, flat nose, bulging eyes, and green skin—a man who looked rather dim-witted.

"Kappa?"

Upon seeing this 'turtle man', Paper Dance's expression became somewhat 'unable to hold back'.

It's so ugly.
However, this expression
In the eyes of the leaders of America and the island nation, this is:
"really,"

"Paper dance is afraid of water,"

"The kappa is her nemesis!"

"Kappa, use your water-spit attack—"

Seeing the reinforcements arrive, she kicked open the door and pointed to the paper dance in the sky.

The innocent 'kappa' immediately obeyed, opening its mouth and puffing out its cheeks:
puff! !

The surging water, moving at a speed far exceeding that of a high-pressure water gun, swept over the 'paper dance' in the sky.

Meanwhile, the water continued to spread along the way. What was originally only as thick as a finger was now a torrent covering several meters in radius by the time it reached mid-air.

brush,

The current was raging and incredibly continuous, forcing Paper Dance to dodge it.

She could dodge, but the papers that were flying everywhere fell down after being moistened by the water.

The sky cleared instantly, and countless fluttering papers were washed away by the water, thanks to the elemental advantage:

The 'Paper Dance' was actually suppressed by the 'Kappa'?

"it is good!"

Should we take advantage of this opportunity?

"No, don't complicate things."

"Miss Paper Dance, we Americans have no intention of being your enemies."

Seeing that the kappa had 'intimidated' the other party, Colonel Gure stepped forward, attempting to achieve his goal through 'diplomatic' means.

“This ‘puppet master’ attacked our embassy and killed our people. We are going to bring him back for trial. Please do not stop us.”

What America wants is the 'folded space' technology from the 'puppet master,' not a corpse; capturing him alive is the higher-ups' requirement. Of course, if things don't go as planned, they will show no mercy and will kill him without hesitation.

If I can't have it, I'll destroy it!
Otherwise, without the enemy's knowledge, planting a dozen or so anti-tank mines directly in the Yagyu family's house would be too much for a D-level superhuman to withstand.

"Hmph, you think you can render me helpless just because you brought a kappa?"

After a slight pause, Paper Dance's expression turned serious.

"We suffered a bit at the hands of that 'Rain Woman' last time."

As everyone present and the commanders behind the screens began to sense something was wrong, Paper Dance spread her hands.

Thump,

A cloud of smoke rose up and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

However, Paper Dance now holds a maple leaf-shaped fan, with colors ranging from red, orange, green, and blue from the inside out.

"This is a trophy that my family took from a certain 'half-tengu' and gave it to me as a weapon."

After saying that, Paper Dance waved the maple leaf fan in her hand.

"You can try this!"

woo woo woo woo--

With a wave of the round fan,
Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, and the sudden gust of wind, carrying sand and dust, swept across the sky.

A cloud of sand and stones flew everywhere, and countless specks of dust filled people's ears and noses, making it impossible to see or hear. At the same time, the yellow sand mixed with the gale hit like a dense barrage of bullets, forcing everyone to raise their arms to block it.

Fortunately, everyone present was extraordinary; otherwise, this round of sandstorm alone would have been enough to leave them battered and bruised.

Not only were the people present struggling to move, but a large number of drones hovering in the surrounding sky were also instantly swept away by the gale and smashed into piles of scrap metal.

Wind Release: Sandstorm Formation

? !
Ah this
As many screens went black, the command center at the back fell into a deathly silence.

The official who had just suggested 'taking the opportunity to arrest the paper dancers as well' quietly shrank back, deciding not to speak up again this time.

These extraordinary beings are utterly unreasonable!

Why not just wait to be outmaneuvered by human superhumans?
They even prepare special props to deal with situations where their abilities are countered.

It's just...it ...
"Hehehe~~Half-Tengu's fan is so useful."

The 'Paper Dance', which was creating gusts of wind, was in high spirits and was not in a hurry to end the battle. It kept waving its maple leaf-shaped fan, seemingly preparing to use the wind to overwhelm its enemy.

Such opportunities to improve one's skills openly and honestly are rare.

As the 'Wind Release' technique was continuously used, the gale on the battlefield not only did not stop, but even grew stronger!
Suddenly, the wind howled like thunder!

A fierce wind swept across the battlefield, engulfing it in a thick sandstorm.

Those enveloped in it felt as if the world was a dark yellow expanse, unable to distinguish east from west or north from south. The wind was relentless, and the sandstorm raged like a razor, tearing at their skin and ripping away everything that blocked the wind.

Even all around, there were sounds of walls collapsing and trees crumbling, roofs being torn off, cherry trees being uprooted, and cars tumbling through the air like paper dolls.
The extraordinary beings from both the island nation and America dug their fingers deep into the ground, barely managing to resist by crouching low.

Otherwise, they will be like ants in a strong wind, flying everywhere.

Good, very good~~
After grinding through his skill points and leveling up his Wind Release technique to C rank, 'Paper Dance' was completely satisfied.

Just as Yu, who was in control of everything, was considering how to end things:
"Cough cough cough,"

She stopped waving her fan and turned around, only to see an old man with gray hair kneeling on the ground behind her.

"Are you poisoned?"

Paper Dance frowned as her gaze swept over the black blood the other person coughed up.

trouble,

Does this 'clone' have to pull out some healing treasure again?
This is no longer a paper dance, but a girl in a box.

"Damn Yagyu!"

Onoda, who was kneeling on the ground, wiped his mouth.
The changes in his body made him realize that the tea he drank at the Yagyu family's house had been poisoned!
If he were captured, there would naturally be an antidote and first aid; but now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he is doomed to die.

America's move is truly leaving no way out!
"Paper Dance Master, thank you for coming."

A series of cramping pains shot through Onoda's body, reminding him that time was running out.

In this case:

"Please forgive me,"

"I can no longer do anything for you."

"Today, I, an old man, will serve my country with all my heart!"

After saying that, he suddenly rushed toward the two American officers who had just gotten up after the gale subsided.

"Onboard—"

???

Shouting slogans, the white-haired old man with tattered armor launched a frenzied charge.

To the bewilderment of the two American officers, countless grenades began to appear on the old man's chest armor.

boom! ! ! !
