I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 85: Birthday Date (8)

Min-Bom steeled her heart.

There was no point in wondering why this had happened today.

It was better to quickly resolve it and go see Jung-gyeom.

Last time, she had faced the villain alliance alone.

This time, with other hero colleagues around, it shouldn't be as difficult.

Solace took a deep breath.

"Are you all ready?" she asked the other heroes.

They all nodded determinedly.

It was her first sortie as the top-ranked hero.

The other heroes, aboard the helicopter, nodded too.

Smoke was seen rising in the distance.

The noise from Tryno's rampage was getting louder.

Everything he destroyed was creating a huge noise.

It wasn't that they weren't nervous.

Until now, fighting such high-profile villains had been the job of Shake, and the second and third-ranked heroes.

But Solace was now officially the top-ranked hero.

An encounter with them was inevitable.

Hiding her fear, Solace spoke to the heroes in the rescue team.

"Don't worry. I'll do my best to ensure no harm comes your way. Please focus on rescuing the civilians."

The heroes nodded again.

It didn't take long for the situation to take a strange turn.

Along with the battle's roars, disorganized sounds burst from the in-ear earphones.

"The civilians...! The civilians are acting strangely!"

"They're not cooperating with the rescue!"

"Ah! This won't do! Please, don't do this! We're here to help you! Put down your weapons!"

"...Luna...!"

Solace muttered to herself.

Luna's existence was a secret even among the heroes.

Their confusion was understandable.

Shake, who was beside her, said to Solace.

"Solace! Ignore the civilians for now! Our priority is to eliminate the villains!"

-Bang!

A bullet grazed Shake's shoulder.

Shake looked around for Stingshot, but all he could see in this chaos were Tryno's explosions.

"But that bastard...! What's happening...?"

Shake eventually gave up looking for Stingshot.

Tryno's power had grown stronger.

The proof was that he could detonate things without even touching them, as if shooting a forceful wind from his fists.

"Argh!"

Another member of the rescue team was flung backward by Tryno's attack, receiving severe burns all over from the explosion.

Solace's eyes began to shine brightly.

She mustered her courage and started attacking Tryno.

Tryno let out a laugh as if he enjoyed her attack.
