Chapter 87

Faced with the sudden attack, everyone still in the room reacted quickly.

Uraraka Shige moved away from the direction of the sound while activating her 'Quirk', using 'Strike' in the direction of the broken glass from her perspective, to prevent the broken glass from further injuring her.

Gu Yu instinctively picked up a nearby table and placed the tabletop towards the shattered window, like warriors raising their shields, using the table as a shield to try and stop the sharp weapon that was flying into the room with a whooshing sound.

In an instant, 'Deflagration' rolled over and hid under the table, pulling out two lighters, ready to throw them in retaliation... But the next second, Gu Yu picked up the table, forcing him to roll again and hide behind the sofa, giving Gu Yu a rather 'resentful' look.

With Rikizo now dead, among all the 'Wandering Protectors,' the one he was closest to was Gu Yu...

The moment the sound came, 'Shadow Transformation' activated his 'Quirk' without hesitation, and turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came. Due to the special nature of his 'Quirk', after activating Quirk, he hardly needed to worry about what was coming and would hurt him. Therefore, he was the first among Uraraka Shige and the others to see clearly what the object that broke through the glass and flew towards them was.

The final "Heavy Water" has Quirk that leans more towards assistance and attack. Therefore, when faced with such a sudden attack, it doesn't have a good way to deal with it. It can only instinctively roll to the side like "Deflagration" while placing its right hand on its lower lip, ready to spit out a mouthful of phlegm that could kill someone.

Fortunately, he rolled behind the sofa from the start, not under the table, so he didn't collide with 'Deflagration' while rolling and both of them cried out in pain, clutching their heads.

The group reacted swiftly, but they were caught off guard by a sudden attack that seemed to have been planned but not executed. Therefore, although they reacted quickly, none of the four except 'Shadow Transformation' dared to say for sure whether they would be injured by the attacker's attack. Ultimately, they had to give fate some leeway and see what the heavens would decide.

The group was quite lucky. Except for 'Deflagration', who was delayed by rolling twice and was grazed on the side by a crossbow bolt (in this chapter, the bolt fired from a small hand crossbow) whose flight path had been disrupted by Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk', the others were unharmed.

After all, although the crossbow bolts that flew in were quite powerful, by the time they pierced the glass window, their inertia had been reduced to some extent, thus reducing the damage they could cause.

This meant that once the crossbow bolts flew into the house, they were blocked by Gravity activated by Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk,' by the table that Gu Yu lifted, or by the sofa that was used as a shield by 'Heavy Water.'

The only difference between the three is that the crossbow bolts blocked by Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' lost their original flight trajectory in mid-air and became extremely unstable. However, due to Uraraka Shige's continuous use of his 'Quirk', not a single crossbow bolt continued to fly towards Uraraka Shige's location.

The crossbow bolt that Gu Yu blocked with the table was because Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' disrupted its original trajectory, causing it to pierce the table diagonally downwards, with the entire arrowhead embedded in the tabletop before stopping.

As for those blocked by the sofa, some had their original flight paths disrupted by the Uraraka Shige Line, and ended up either completely or partially submerged in the sofa, unable to emerge again. Others passed through the bodies of those who had activated Quirk 'Shadow Transformation', just like passing through ordinary light and shadow, and then either completely or partially submerged in the sofa... similarly unable to emerge from the other side.

Of course, there was also a single crossbow bolt that had been scratched by the 'Deflagration'. It sat alone on the floor, stained with a little blood, its arrowhead still gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen, without a trace of blue, as if it hadn't been coated with poison.

Outside the broken window, a group of people were walking around, shouting something. Judging from the slightly chaotic sounds, they were probably just a mob.

'Shadow Transformation' stood still, looking at the group of people outside the window. Then, its figure suddenly blurred for a moment, and when it solidified again, it was behind the sofa, now holding two crossbows that were cocked. Unfortunately, each crossbow only had one arrow on it.

But actually, the problem isn't that big. After all, there are several reusable arrows on the table that Gu Yu is holding, and there are also quite a few arrows hidden in the sofa that serves as cover, which can be dug out and used at any time.

"Call..."

'Shadow Transformation' slowly dissipated his 'Quirk', looking more tired than before... His 'Quirk' had greatly depleted his physical strength... Then he handed a hand crossbow to 'Heavy Water' beside him, preparing to use it to retaliate against the group of attackers outside.

Gu Yu continued to hold the wooden shield... the wooden table, slowly retreating behind the sofa, and then shared the arrows with 'Shadow Transformation' and 'Heavy Water'.

'Deflagration' became extremely irritable due to his injury, shouting and yelling incessantly. He lit the lighters in his hands and threw them out the window, then activated his 'Quirk'.

Suddenly, with a sudden movement.

A flash of fiery red appeared outside the window, illuminating the room even brighter. Then, a faint heat emanated from outside into the room... This counterattack of 'Deflagration' summoned two large fireballs above the heads of the rabble outside the window, each lasting only a moment. Although the duration was too short to cause any effective kills, it did leave many people with bald patches on their heads, their scalps burned off, and they screamed pitifully outside the window.

Uraraka Shige's solution was even simpler: he simply activated his 'Quirk' to sweep up all the clutter in the room, turning it into appropriately sized spheres, which then floated out the window and crashed down.

As for the effectiveness of this action, it's impossible to know for the time being, but one can imagine that some of the screams and shouts of the attackers outside the window were probably due to his contribution.

However, no matter what, if they fought back from inside the house like this, they would still be at a disadvantage. They needed to come up with a more suitable way to counterattack and defeat this rabble outside the window in one fell swoop.

Moreover, questions lingered in everyone's minds: who were these guys, where did they come from, and why were they attacking them? Perhaps only after defeating them all and investigating thoroughly could they find out the reason.
