[MHCISQD] Chapter 205: Crush the Weak

On Eri's cute and tender face, she trembled as she looked at Renault and Togata who appeared before her. She asked shakily, "Why... you come? You'll be killed by him!"

"Killed? That's impossible." Renault chuckled and said, "We are quite strong, you know."

Togata, holding Eri, spoke softly, "That's right. I won't let you be sad anymore. I will be...! Um, I mean, we will be your heroes!"

"...Senpai, I almost thought you forgot about me."

Renault turned his head to glance at Eri and briefly glanced at the conspicuous small horn on her forehead. No other parts of her body had such structure, which meant that it was a manifestation of her Quirk?

At the same time, he noticed the bandages coiled around her limbs.

Turning his head, Renault looked at Chisaki, who was incredulously wiping his face. He said, "Senpai, your body should be recovered now."

"Thanks to your quick actions, Renault, it's no longer a concern."

"Since that's the case, you protect Eri-chan for now. I'll handle this guy."

"...Let's do it together, it will be safer."

"It's fine. I have confidence."

With that, Renault took a step forward and walked out.

Wiping off the marks that had been smeared on his face, Chisaki widened his eyes and said, "How filthy... Eri, you say I'll kill? How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? You are a destroyer by nature."

Upon hearing his words, Eri's expression fluctuated, and she struggled to look at Togata, saying, "I guess I'm just a burden..."

""Don't listen to him!"" Renault and Togata exclaimed in unison.

"Not listening?" Chisaki wiped his face several times and continued, "I've repeated it many times because you're too willful. That's why I had to dirty my own hands. Every action of yours leads to killing. You're a cursed existence!"

"A curse? Don't be ridiculous," Renault scornfully looked at Chisaki and said, "If that's the case, then everyone in this world is the same. Everyone's survival in this world is built upon countless destruction and sacrifice. To survive, we consume animals and plants daily, not to mention the constant encroachment upon nature to build cities and establish homes. Since everyone is guilty, her ability is nothing unusual."

"Heh... what a twisted logic," Chisaki said coldly, looking at Renault.

Togata also shouted and questioned Chisaki, "Why would you say such things to your own child?!"

"Child? Ahh, I did say that before, but I don't have any child," Chisaki replied.

After speaking, his eyes narrowed, and he activated his Quirk directly.

*BOOM!!!*

The surrounding ground and walls instantly shattered.

"Senpai, take Eri-chan and step back!" Renault immediately appeared in front of Togata. At the same time, the ground that was previously smashed started to condense on both sides, forming sharp rock spikes that shot toward them.

Facing the rock spikes heading towards his body, Renault didn't dodge and instead threw a punch, reflecting the spikes back and turning them into powder.

Togata also raised Eri high, allowing the rock spikes to pass through his body.

"You bastard! Do you want to harm Eri-chan as well?" Togata said angrily.

Pressing his hands against the ground, Chisaki said, "Yes, it doesn't matter if she gets destroyed too. She can be repaired and resurrected immediately. Even if she's completely shattered, she can be restored to her original state. She has experienced it firsthand, so she should understand."

Firsthand... experience?

Ignoring the spikes that were charging towards him, Renault directly focused on Chisaki, who remained expressionless, and quietly raised his right foot.

Then he stomped down.

*BOOM!*

The ground trembled, shattering the incoming rock spikes directly, while Renault blasted through the obstacle in front of him with a single punch, instantly arriving in front of Chisaki.

"A person like you doesn't deserve to live." With a cold voice accompanied by his furious punch.

*THUD!*

The punch landed squarely on Chisaki's face, smashing it and sending him flying, crashing into the wall with a large dent.

"Aarghh!"

With an incredibly forceful punch, Chisaki's mask shattered, and who knows how many teeth were knocked out. It took several seconds before he slipped down from the wall's large dent to the ground.

"Arrogant?"

*THUD!*

"Using such means against a little girl?"

*THUD!*

Grabbing Chisaki by the collar, Renault lifted him up and delivered a punch that sent him crashing to the ground, and then another punch followed.

"But..."

*THUD!*

"You've reached your end..."

As Renault prepared to deliver the final punch, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in his peripheral vision. The white-robed masked man who had been knocked down by Togata earlier was stealthily pulling out a handgun and aiming it at Togata from behind.

Without hesitation, Renault used Chisaki, whom he held in his hand, as a projectile, throwing him towards the masked man.

Togata also noticed the handgun and swiftly used his hero costume's cape to wrap around Eri. He somersaulted in mid-air, evading the bullet. He then placed her behind a large rock, remaining vigilant of the gun's direction.

Togata knew that the bullets in that gun were likely the kind that could neutralize and destroy Quirks. If it weren't for Renault's assistance, he might have been more panicked. But now, he wouldn't allow the opponent to successfully hit him.

As the bullet was fired, and seeing it missed, as well as witnessing Chisaki being hurled towards him, the white-robed masked man had no choice but to let go of the handgun and catch the disoriented Chisaki.

"Young Master!"

Opening his eyes with difficulty, Chisaki looked towards Renault and weakly said, "Renault... Your methods truly don't align with those of a Pro Hero."

"Obviously, I'll deal with enemies using the appropriate means. When dealing with something that isn't human, naturally, I won't resort to methods meant for humans. The question is... are you?" Renault replied without hesitation, then charged forward once again.

"Hehe... NEMOTO! SHOOT!"

Alongside the arrival of Renault's punch, at the exact moment when both the white-robed masked man and Chisaki were hit, Chisaki suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.

Behind Renault, at the entrance of the passage he came from, a figure covered in blood crawled forward, holding a gun in hand. Using the last ounce of strength, he aimed at the defenseless Eri.

"It's a success."

*BANG!*

"Success?" Renault appeared in front of Eri, crossing space, and blocked the lethal bullet. Then, with a kick, he knocked the gun away and lowered his head, saying, "Your vitality is indeed as tenacious as a cockroach. Even in this state, you can still move huh? It seems I can't show you any mercy... Vanish..."

Raising his hand, a black hole suddenly appeared, slowly engulfing the attacker, who knows where he was devoured.

Turning around, he crouched down, gently brushing Eri's long hair and smiling, saying, "It's alright. We won't let any harm come to you."
