My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!! - Chapter 103
Sitting still in the lotus position, a deathly silence filled the area as Aiden’s breathing could bȧrėly be heard amidst the sounds of the distant traffic.
“A-Are you okay?” The weary Mr. Yamisagi asked after realizing that Aiden had been sitting in the same position without moving for the last couple of hours.
“…”
Looking at the current state of the young man in front of him, an uncomfortable feeling gathered in Mr. Yamisagi’s ċhėst. Compared to how he was before, the masked man’s hair seemed to have turned dark purple in color and the aura he gave off was a lot colder.
Knowing the dangers of his quirk, Mr. Yamisagi wondered if the masked man’s mind had broken. No matter how mentally sound a person seemed to be, there would always be a secret weakness sitting in the back of their mind.
*Heavy Breathing*
Hearing Aiden finally make a sound, Mr. Yamisagi didn’t know how to feel. He was happy to know that he wasn’t talking to a corpse, but on the other hand Aiden had kidnapped and tortured him.
Looking a bit sluggish, Aiden managed to force himself to his feet. Stumbling slightly he made his way over to Mr. Yamisagi’s side.
“H-Hello?”
“…”
Instead of answering the confused man, Aiden raised his hand and placed all five fingers on his head. And in a cold and emotionless voice, he whispered a single word.
“Pierce.”
—
Looking at the five bloody holes on Mr. Yamisagi’s corpse, he dragged the body over towards the edge and watched as it went splat after letting gravity take its course.
Looking down at what had once been Mr Yamisagi, deep inside himself Aiden felt gratitude towards the fool. After experiencing that moment over and over again, he had become numb to the sight and no longer felt anything when viewing it. In a sense, he had gotten over it. No longer was he shackled by the past or his trauma. Right now, he was truly free.
But at what cost?
To watch his parents get brutally murdered and not feel anything… Was he still human? Had he just sacrificed his humanity for more power?
Standing at the edge of the building, these thoughts floated around Aiden’s head until he got a call from Christina.
Listening to all the information she had gathered about Chisaki and the Eight Precepts of Death. Aiden threw such juvenile thoughts to the back of his mind.
Was he still human?
Did it really matter if he wasn’t?
Instead of standing here contemplating over such pointless thoughts, he had a job to do.
Gathering his astral energy on his back, dark purple wings sprouted out and lifted him into the sky.
Frowning at the upthrust speed. Aiden gathered astral energy at the soles of his feet and constructed what looked like a small purple block. Letting his foot touch it, he immediately activated the Light-step burst technique and shot towards Eri’s location.
—
Standing in what looked like a surgical room, Chisaki slowly removed his white glove and slowly reached down towards the frightened young girl in front of him.
—
Landing in front of the Yakuza HQ, Aiden dispersed his wings and shifted through the front door with little to no effort.
Seeing that the courtyard had a couple of people in it, Aiden used his shift to help him quietly eliminate the small fries.
Walking towards the door, he shifted through it and made his way inside the estate.
—
“Overhaul sama!!” A yakuza henchman ran into the room panting.
“Mmm?” Chisaki looked over at him.
“The men patrolling the front door aren’t answering!!”
Furrowing his brows, Chisaki looked down at a bed ridden old man hooked up to a bunch of life supporting machinery.
“Sorry boss… It looks like its gonna get a bit loud in here.” Turning around to face his henchman, he instructed him to instruct the Eight Precepts of Death to be ready… “Also inform the two members of the league that have joined us.”
—
Walking through the halls with steady steps, Aiden killed any Yakuza that entered his sights. Seeing an unnaturally looking dead-end in front of him, he remembered from the information he received from Christina that one of the subordinates under Chisaki had an ability to create fake surroundings.
Not even blinking at the wall in front of him, Aiden immediately shifted through it shocking the quirk user. Activating astral vision, he located where the villain was hiding and use a simple “Pierce” to stab right through his heart.
Watching the area return to its natural form, Aiden kept walking forward with steady steps. Using his astral vision once more, he found three targets standing beneath him on the lower floors. Thinking that one of them might be Eri, he shifted through the floor and arrived in a room where he saw a douchey looking blonde guy holding a katana, a bald headed muthafu*ker wearing a white face mask around his mouth and an idiot with a sack on his head and rope tied around his neck.
Not even bothering to waste him breath on them, Aiden killed the lot of them with three perfectly aimed pierce attacks before activating his astral vision and moving on.
—
“Oho!! You’re finally here!!”
Sensing two life signs in a room close to him, Aiden himself standing in front of a large muscular man with brown hair wearing a plague mask. But what really caught Aiden’s attention was the leather strapped gloves that covered his wrists and hands with metal on the knuckles. Standing a bit away from him was a man that could be describe as his visual opposite. Standing behind the big man was a slim man with short spiky blonde hair. He was wearing a traditional dark-colored yukata with a pair of get a on his feet, a long white piece of cloth acting as a belt around his waist, and another plague mask.
Just as he was about to kill the two of them, the large man suddenly spoke up.
“The name’s Rappa, lets beat each other senseless!!”
