Chapter 126 Meeting and Presen

All of them did not waste their time as they used their abilities to dodge the incoming attacks.

Alex changed his magnetic orientation as he sent himself hurtling down to the ground. "Boom!" Alex used his tentacles to redirect the pressure from the fall, allowing him to land without any injuries.

Alex watched with his eyes as the other Heroes landed safely too.

"Leave these Mafia guys to me!" Tetra shouted as he raised his fists. "You should all look for Glacia and the villain team. They are the higher priority!"

"Boom!" Tetra then started his attacks, as he shot out some kind of powerful blaster attacks towards the Mafia members.

The Mafia members hit by the blasts went down, although they were quickly replaced by new Mafia members.

"F**k!" Alex could feel Tetra's irritation even if he was at a distance from him.

Alex knew that Tetra was a Hero, which meant that killing enemies was a big no for Tetra. Because of that, Tetra had no choice but to dial down his strength while dealing with the Mafia members. This dialing down has resulted in Tetra being stuck on fighting the Mafia members.

"That Mafioso surely is a sleazy guy." Alex muttered to himself as he flicked a stray attack coming to him. "As long as he can do something to inconvenience his enemies, he will surely do it…"

Alex then went quiet as he joined the other Heroes on looking for their targets.

If Alex was right, there is no way that Glacia will be near at the Mafia members right now, since her weakening aura might affect them.

That means that she could be at some distance away right now, maybe with the villain team, although Glacia could just be alone too.

"Hong~" Alex let out a pulse of his Mental Power as he scanned the area inside his Range.

With his EM Manipulation, Alex can identify any living being's electrical presence. With this identification in mind, Alex scanned for any suspicious presences nearby.

"There!" Alex eyes narrowed as he saw five electrical presences clustered together on a spot 500 meters away from the mansion.

Even without visual aid, Alex was sure that these five electrical presences were the villain Team and Glacia!

Alina seems to have detected them too, as she started to guide the other Heroes. "Follow me! I have detected their location already!"

It could have been the charisma in Alina's voice, as the SHA Heroes did not complain as they followed her. Of course Alex followed her too, since he just detected them.

With their speed, it took them 30 seconds to reach their target spot.

"..."

Alex's eyes settled on the figures waiting for them, and they all looked like they were ready to fight them already.

Alex then smiled grimly as he saw each one of their enemies in full color.

Glacia was still the same as usual, with her wearing her shorts and tank top dress. This time around however, she was also wearing a gas mask.

Glacia's whole body seemed to be screaming in anger as she let out an angry shout when Alex arrived.

Alex ignored her shouts as he looked at the villain team beside Glacia, with his eyes lapping in all the details that he could get.

Just like the Heroes, the villain team was also wearing costumes, and to Alex's dismay, their costumes were way better than theirs.

The sole male in the team was wearing a trickster costume, with the ball object still on his hands. This male tipped his hat towards the Heroes, as if he was greeting them amicably.

The second member of the villain team was dressed in a traditional female samurai costume, with her long black hair tied in a bun. She had her katana out, and she was pointing it at Alina's direction.

The third member on the other hand, was a short, brown-haired female who was wearing a nun costume while holding a whip…

Yeah, that costume looks contradicting AF, and Alex had no interest on knowing where it came from.

As for the final member of the villain team, her costume was the one that got Alex worried.

She was wearing a lab coat that was stained with different kinds of colors. She was wearing tinted lab goggles complete with a set of gloves on her hands.

There was also a small metal container slung on the woman's back, with a nozzle sprouting out of the container.

The woman was holding this nozzle in her left hand, with her constantly swaying the nozzle in around her.

Alex narrowed his eyes as he felt that this woman was releasing 'mad scientist vibes' with the costume that she was wearing.

"That woman must have been the Chemist that we are talking about." Might muttered to Alex as they approached their waiting enemies.

"No doubt about that." Alex replied as he eyed the container on the woman's back. "So, how should we fight them now?"

"We will fight them all at once." Might said with his teammates nodding with him. "We will just think of other strategies once we get more knowledge about their abilities."

"If that is your call, then let's start this then!" Alex shouted as he and the Heroes rushed to their targets, giving them no time to give their monologue.

***************************

Unsurprisingly, it was Glacia who made the first attack.

"You bastards, I will make you pay for my humiliation!" The supervillain shouted as she blasted her Weakening Aura at full force, drawing a grunt from the Heroes.

She then proceeded to freeze the whole place around her, turning it all to ice.

"Rocket!" Might shouted as Glacia started lumbering towards them. "Bring them out!"

"Roger!" Rocket shouted as he pointed his rocket launcher towards Glacia.

"Wizzz…" A rocket the size of a dog shot out of the rocket launcher, whizzing towards the pissed Glacia.

"Scram!" Glaica snarled as she swatted the rocket out of her face.

But at the instant that her Ice Armor made contact with the rocket, the rocket suddenly exploded into tiny dust particles which started to eat into Glacia's Ice Armor.

"Hell yeah! How did you like my nanomachines huh?" Rocket shouted as his whole demeanor seems to have changed. "They will slowly eat through your armor until you have nothing left!

"Bastard!" Glacia snarled as she threw ice spikes towards the gloating Rocket. Alex dodged these spikes barely by rocketing himself sideways. One of the spikes hit Rocket in his left foot however, sending him crashing to the ground in pain.

"F***ing piece of shit. Let's see if you can still boast like that to me!" Glacia said as she stomped her foot, suddenly creating a 12-foot tall Ice Behemoth in front of her.

This Ice Behemoth lunged towards the downed Rocket, only for it to be blocked by a hulking, 10-foot tall muscular bull-man hybrid.

Minotaur, who was now in his Minotaur Shifted Form, let out some guttural sounds as he sent a haymaker towards the Ice Behemoth.

The Ice Behemoth was thrown by the punch some distance away, landing into the icy ground with a crunch.

The Ice Behemoth stood up, only for Minotaur to gore it with his horn.

The Ice Behemoth then let out a guttural groan as it started grappling with Minotaur!

While these two gigantic figures were busy wrestling with each other, the remaining SHA Heroes focused their attention on Glacia.

"Magical Blast!" Magical Girl shouted as she sent out multiple heart-shaped projectiles towards Glacia. Glacia returned in kind, intercepting these projectiles with her ice spikes.

While she was doing this, Magical Girl also healed Rocket's injury, allowing him to rejoin the battle with Glacia.

As for Deporter, she was also dealing with the ice spikes, blasting them back to Glacia with her ability. Each Ice Spike that Deporter touched were sent hurtling back to Glacia, with enough power to pierce through metal.

Glacia were able to block these redirected spikes by reverting them back to liquid form.

Medievial on the other hand, has somewhat summoned a cannon, which he was pointing towards Glacia.

"Boom, boom, boom!" He sent out consecutive blasts of cannon towards Glacia, which Glacia blocks with occasional ice walls coming from her icy field.

The rocket attacks sent by Rocket were all blocked by Glacia too, as she started to create her own ice cannon, which shot down the rockets before they could even reach her.

"…." Alex watched in awe as he realized that this is actually Glacia at her full power.

Only when Glacia has her full icy field out that she can demonstrate her full prowess.

Alex and his Companions were only able to defeat Glacia last night since they were able to prevent her from using her icy field.

"It's a good thing that Queen Mother broke her ice field last night." Alex thought to himself as he let out a sigh. "If she did not do that, the fight could have been longer…"

****************

Booming sounds on the field continued as Glacia continued grappling with 5 SHA Heroes at the same time.

"Don't worry about my teammates. They can hold off Glacia for some time." Might said as he and Alex looked at the villain team on the side. "For now, we have to worry about them."

"Right." Alex replied as he focused his attention on the villain team.

Right now, Alex was highly sure that this Villain Team was the Traveler Team that he was supposed to fight against.

He could see it in their demeanor. They were exuding a certain kind of feeling that Alex could not quite explain. Alex however was sure that this feeling was unique on this team.

There was also the fact that they were giving Alex challenging grins, as if they were goading him to fight them already.

Of course that was not the only evidence that Alex have.

Now that Alex was nearer on the villain team, he realized that there was something else with that villain team.

And that something was a small creature with the same size as Asteria.

This said creature seemed to don a male humanoid appearance, with it also having some wings.

This creature also had horns on its head, which coupled with its fiendishly red eyes, makes the creature look like a little devil.

This little devil was sitting on top of the Chemist's(mad scientist's) head, sending Alex a knowing smile in his way.

"…" Alex looked at Might, who seemed to be unable to see this little devil.

Alex then looked at Asteria, who let out a sigh as she said,

"Yes, that little devil is the Guide of the enemy Traveler Group. Don't ask me to talk with it. It will just try to verbally attack me. It's a devil after all."

"I will take that in mind." Alex thought to himself as he decided to talk with the villain team first.

"Hey, do you really want to fight it out with us? Why don't you surrender now to make everything better?"

"Hmph, don't talk to us like that, you filthy Hero!" The Chemist(mad scientist), who was only cackling to herself earlier, suddenly shouted these words as a reply to Alex. "We are villains, and we do not surrender to the likes of you!"

"…" Alex found himself slightly speechless at this time, as he realized that this woman who looked like a mad scientist seems to be too invested in acting like a villain!

"You are just playing with fate here, woman." Might suddenly said, as he did not hide his distaste while looking at the chemist(mad scientist). "I will repeat what Eldritch said. Surrender now, and we could help you out in your crimes."

"Shut up, you idealistic cretin!" The chemist(mad scientist) cackled as she raised her nozzle high in the air. "I'm a Mad Scientist, and I will not get down without a fight! Sunnovabich!"

"You asked for it!" Alex said as he and his Companions rushed towards the villain team. "Just don't go back to your home crying once we beat you up!"

"We'll see about that." The chemist(mad scientist) replied as she pressed a button in her nozzle. "We'll see about that."

A noxious-looking gas then erupted out from the nozzle, and before Alex could stop it, the whole area was covered by this gas!

"Enjoy my present to you, TRAVELER." The chemist(mad scientist) said as the gas continued on spreading. "I hope that you can show me that you are worthy of your abilities."
