After a brief exchange of blows, the battlefield formed by the sixteen 'Nomu' was intentionally divided up by Uraraka Shige and the others.

"Chaos!"

Uraraka Shige dodged an attack and then gently patted the back of a 'Nomu's' neck.

A disgusting sound rang out, and the neck of the 'Nomu' twisted bizarrely, its flesh and bones inside being torn to shreds by the chaotic Gravity.

However, this 'Nomu' did not die. Instead, the twisted part of its neck twitched, and several twisted and intertwined fleshy buds grew from it, supporting the 'Nomu's' head, and jumped off its body, transforming from a 'Nomu' into a 'Nomu'.

The scene was so disgusting that Uraraka Shige to dodge the Nomu's attacks, couldn't help but activate his Quirk, throwing a branch that pierced the Nomu's eye socket and pinned it to the ground.

Then the fleshy tentacles supporting the head twitched and drooped limply, and the churned liquid inside the head slowly flowed down the branches to the ground.

Uraraka Shige disdain, then maintained her 'Quirk' and continued to fight the few 'Nomu' creatures in front of her.

Stain in a similar situation, but his predicament appeared to be far more dangerous than that of Uraraka Shige, and he was being besieged by two more Nomu than Uraraka Shige's group.

However, this was only what appeared to be the case. In reality, he leaned slightly to the side, then took a half step forward and lowered his body. After dodging the attacks of several 'Nomu's', which came from near or far, he swung his sword as he passed one of the 'Nomu's', leaving a trail of bright red blood on his long dagger.

Then, continuing to dodge the attacks of the 'Nomu', he slurped his tongue and licked the bloodstains on the long dagger.

The 'Nomu' that he had previously slashed immediately collapsed limply to the ground, like a corpse.

Then Stain incredible agility, dodging two more attacks from the 'Nomu', then passed by the fallen 'Nomu' again, rolled on the spot to avoid a silver slash aimed at its neck, and then got up.

The head of that 'Nomu' creature had already been pierced through by a dagger, and it lost its life silently.

Spinner was surrounded by three 'Nomu's'...

No, rather than being surrounded by three 'Nomu', it's more accurate to say that Spinner was leading the three 'Nomu' away.

These three 'Nomu' were all melee-type, so when faced with Spinner, who was extremely agile and swift in the Kamui Woods, they could only foolishly follow behind him and think they could eat shit.

No matter how you looked at it, Spinner seemed perfectly safe, so even though he couldn't deal with the three 'Nomu's' following him, Uraraka Shige and the others weren't worried about him.

On the contrary, Gu Yu and Sakinagi Shushin, who currently have the fewest 'Nomu', are in the most dangerous situation among the five present.

Unharmed Uraraka Shige, Sakinagi Shushin had now climbed down from Gu Yu's back and was facing a 'Nomu' alone, struggling to keep it from interfering with Nomu and the others.

Judging solely from this point, there's no doubt that his pressure shouldn't be that great.

Even though his physical condition was not as good as that of Uraraka Shige other three, and his 'Quirk' was ineffective against these 'Nomu'.

However, if it is just a ranged attack type of 'Nomu', he can still use the surrounding environment and his own intelligence to maneuver and delay.

The problem is that this 'Nomu' is the same 'Nomu' that caused the air tremor before, and it's also the only one among the remaining fifteen 'Nomu' that can be rated as 'ordinary' by Nomu 'Doctor'.

It is fundamentally different from the other fourteen 'inferior' 'Nomu' creatures, far Nomu them by a whole level.

Although its strength may not be much greater than those 'Nomu', it possesses unique characteristics that other 'Nomu' do not have.

It was precisely this unique characteristic that made this 'Nomu' extremely difficult to deal with, putting immense pressure on Sakinagi Shushin.

Although Gu Yu was injured and the extent of his injuries was unclear, his current fighting ability against these 'Nomu' was still greater than that of the healthy and uninjured Sakinagi Shushin.

Therefore, the number of 'Nomu' he faced was one more than that of Sakinagi Shushin.

This was certainly not what Uraraka Shige and the other three thought; on the contrary, they opposed Gu Yu doing so.

However, Gu Yu's insistence on doing so lured two 'Nomu's, and Uraraka Shige and the others were entangled with other' Nomu's', making it difficult to stop them for the time being.

Although the two 'Nomu' he was facing were the same as the 'Nomu' that Uraraka, Stein, Spinner, and the other two had faced, and not the kind of 'Nomu' with certain special characteristics that Sakihiro Shin was facing.

But at this moment, his hands were injured, and the 'Nomu' he was facing happened to have both close-range and long-range attack types.

Furthermore, it depends on whether he has the intelligence and calculation ability to keep that melee-type 'Nomu' within his and that ranged-type 'Nomu's' attack range.

Therefore, even though these few 'Nomu's' continued to act according to the previous command to 'take care of all the intruders' because no one around gave them timely orders, there was no cooperation between them whatsoever.

However, this still made Gu Yu's situation extremely difficult.

Relying solely on his two feet, and occasionally using the ranged 'Nomu' to interfere with the melee 'Nomu', he continued to maneuver and delay the two 'Nomu's'.

Even so, there is still one thing he cannot get around no matter what.

That is, the injuries to his hands were not treated in time, so they were naturally exposed to the air and continued to gush blood, taking away his strength and life at the same time.

Although this injury wouldn't immediately take his life, it's conceivable that if this dragged on and no opportunity was found to completely reverse the situation, Gu Yu would likely end up like Rikizo in the 'Battle of Kamino,' silently bidding farewell to Uraraka Shige eyes.

This was something the other four were unwilling to accept.

Therefore, it could be considered a blessing in disguise, or perhaps a misfortune amidst good fortune.

Because of Gu Yu's injury, Uraraka Shige and the others, without exchanging ideas, had already unanimously decided and made their next choice.

They planned to escape the Kamui Woods, provided that Gu Yu's life was safe.

This means that if they actually do this, then the more powerful and advanced beings deep in the Kamui Woods will not encounter them.
