"Wire!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the 'Nomu to move easily, Uraraka Shige decisively activated his' Quirk ', summoning a jet-black line out of thin air. It looked slender and delicate, and was very inconspicuous in the dimly lit Kamui Woods.

"Buzz~"

The loud buzzing sound resumed, and the air vibrated once more.

Uraraka Shige and the others were caught off guard and were instantly enveloped.

The familiar dizziness returned, but thankfully, in this short time, most of the 'Nomu' were also pulled and unable to move by the shockwaves. On the contrary, the seemingly insignificant, light, and soft line was completely unaffected and continued to twist and drift along its original trajectory.

And then in the next second...

Pfft pfft pfft pfft...

A series of sounds of blood splattering rang out.

The loudest one was the "Nomu" whose head was severed by that "thread" and died instantly.

The other less obvious effects all came from Uraraka Shige and others.

It was the attack launched by the few uncontrolled ranged 'Nomu' that struck them before they could dodge or even react.

Of course, there were also those who didn't get what they wanted.

The attacks that landed on them caused injuries of varying degrees.

The severity of these injuries is somewhat difficult to describe.

While the injuries may be severe, none of them are fatal.

However, while the injuries weren't considered serious, some even went right through the body, leaving a bloody hole.

Among them, Spinner's injuries were probably the most serious. He had a penetrating wound about the thickness of a little finger near the edge of his left lung.

It was a good thing caused by a 'Nomu' creature that could stick out its tongue five meters long.

This 'Nomu' creature's tongue was exceptionally slippery, incredibly flexible, and strong, with an extremely sharp tip.

As for its overall shape, it looks rather green, with sharp claws on its limbs but no scales, and it's very good at jumping... It's probably an image somewhere between Tsuyu Asui and Spinner.

Fortunately, Spinner's 'Quirk' was that of Gecko, which gave him a much stronger ability to recover than the average person; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on and would have already passed away.

Even if he manages to stay alive, such severe injuries will inevitably have an impact on him. At least it's quite obvious that the three 'Nomu's' he could easily walk away before are now getting closer and closer to him.

However, neither Stain, nor Uraraka Shige, nor Gu Yu and Sakinagi Shushin could help him with this.

Because their situation was now even more precarious.

As for Gu Yu, there's probably no need to elaborate. Already crippled in both hands, he now suffers several more injuries. In addition, the injuries to his hands are constantly draining his strength and even his life force, so that his originally extremely strong physique due to his 'Quirk' has become incredibly weak.

Meanwhile, on Sakinagi Shushin's side, although he had been using his intelligence to restrain the 'Nomu', just a moment ago, for some reason, the 'Nomu' suddenly stopped being tempted by him and stopped following him around like a leech. Instead, it suddenly turned around and activated its 'Quirk' in the direction of Uraraka Shige and the others.

After that, the 'Nomu' seemed to change completely, taking the initiative and constantly looking like it was about to unleash its 'Quirk' on Uraraka Shige and the others again, forcing Sakinagi Shushin to try to delay the 'Nomu'. The two's positions were instantly reversed.

Then let's look at Stain.

At this moment, Stain seemed to be the one least affected by the 'Nomu'.

Even though he had been hit by that 'Nomu's' 'Quirk' before.

But thanks to his formidable combat experience and instincts, he managed to dodge the attacks that were heading his way, only suffering two minor abrasions.

The way they fought those 'Nomu' before is exactly the same now; the rhythm of the battle seems completely unaffected and uninterrupted.

Even after regaining consciousness, he managed to control another 'Nomu' with his Nomu, but he couldn't find an opportunity to finish it off while it was under control.

Afterwards, the 'Nomu' gradually regained its mobility. Unfortunately, the two seemingly inconspicuous scratches still had some impact on it, making it appear slightly sluggish when dodging the attacks of these 'Nomu', and then it began to struggle on the edge of a vicious cycle.

... If Stain's condition was like a swamp, only slowly struggling to sink deeper and deeper, then Uraraka Shige's condition undoubtedly looked much better than Stain's.

Relying on the fact that the 'Nomu' lacks sufficient self-awareness and can only evade by obeying the orders of others, he used the 'threads' formed by his 'Quirk' to swiftly sever the neck of a 'Nomu'.

Swish! Head and body separated, without any hesitation.

He appeared extremely clean and efficient, but the numerous injuries on Uraraka Shige's body had severely increased his physical exhaustion.

In addition to the stamina consumed in maintaining the 'line', the energy and stamina consumed in using her 'Quirk' to fly close to the ground in order to prevent her injuries from affecting her agility, this made Uraraka Shige's stamina deplete at an alarming rate.

However, the 'line' floats too slowly, making it difficult to catch up with a second 'Nomu' after killing one.

It's safe to say that what awaits Uraraka Shige is likely nothing more than exhaustion, ultimately losing even the possibility of escaping from the sky.

This was almost a predictable outcome.

However, Uraraka Shige certainly didn't want this outcome.

But at that moment, he was powerless to do anything.

Time passed slowly, and after about five more minutes, Gu Yu's expression became increasingly dazed, and the blood flowing from the wounds on his hands began to become extremely viscous.

Stain sacrificed his right arm to receive an attack from the Nomu, and with a backhand slash, sent the Nomu to meet its comrades who had already lost their lives.

Only then did he finally have time to deal with the two 'Nomu' creatures, one near and one far, on Gu Yu's side.

Uraraka Shige and the others were finally freed from the onslaught of these 'Nomu' creatures.

"Let's... retreat..."
