Intermediate boss

Once Eric's body turned to dust, I turned my gaze to Rowen and I'm pretty sure I saw him swallow his saliva looking at me in fear.

Hehe, so all this cold and distant behavior was just a facade. I took a few marbles out of my pockets which started to float next to me.

After a simple smile, he instantly deactivated his quirk before kneel.

" Please do not kill me. It's not my fault, it's because of… Lucifer, yes that's this! It's Lucifer's fault. He's the one who forces us to kill each other. And if you kill me all of America will disappear. Think of all those innocent people who are going to die "

I exchanged a look with my brother and yeah we had the same opinion.

Then, just as I was about to end his existence, I saw something approaching at high speed with my vision quirk.

I stopped my action and smiled calmly at Rowen.

"Of course you surrendered so there is no reason to continue the fight. Maybe we could even work together to survive, after all, your quirk is very powerful" I replied

My brother gave me a funny look but I waved my hand to ask him to wait.

Rowen looked relieved and I didn't need anyone to know that he was already starting to think of a way to stab me in the back but he would never get that chance ...

And as expected, in a few moments, a shadow sprang from nowhere at a speed that left "no one" time to react. And before he knew it, Iida had lost his left leg and was starting to fall to the ground with a confused expression on his face.

It was only after he hit the ground that blood began to spurt out of his leg in large quantities.

He look at it strangely but once he realized it was his own leg he started screaming in pain and fear while holding what was left of his leg. At that point, he was no longer Ingenium's brother, nor an apprentice hero. He was just a simple human, a fragile but arrogant creature.

The cut was absolutely not clean, it looked like someone had just pulled it really hard until it came off.

I looked over to Anna and asked her to heal him. Although she cannot grow it back, at least it will be able to prevent the bleeding.

...

The whole time, the culprit of it all was standing behind the kneeling Rowen. He had one hand on his shoulders the other was holding Iida's torn leg. And he was looking at us all with a big, happy smile.

He had white hair and red eyes while his teeth looked too sharp for a human.

Rowen didn't look very comfortable, judging by his expression.

"What the fuck is that bastard holding my shoulders so tight?" Rowen thought

"Yo guys! You are fine ?" The French team's vampire asked. But no one answered him.

His smile widened in response as he continued to speak looking at Rowen.

"You know I really had a hard time finding you. Whenever Lucifer presented the best moments of the day, the American team was always on screen. You looked so strong. I couldn't wait to kill you and soak your blood you know. But when I saw that you had already been beaten ... *sigh * my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. But it's a nice surprise to see that the one that beat you is the Japanese team. "

He started to shake with excitement

"It's good that you're all gathered here. Besides you, there are hardly any strong teams left, I have eliminated most of them. So you could say that what is happening now is the final of the game. "

Everyone was listening to him. Well, everyone except me. I just pulled out a pair of metallic gloves from the inside of my jacket while looking at my teammates.

Everyone looked vigilant and cautious. After all, he just tore off Iida's leg without their being able to react. It could have been anyone ... anyone other than me of course. I saw him coming from afar.

Watching their reactions, I saw that Ochacco was looking at Iida but not as a friend would look at his friend after having his leg torn off. No, it looked more like a snake looking for the slightest opportunity to achieve its goal.

Now that I remember Iida and Ochacco have the same number and now that Iida has lost a leg he is practically dead.

If I remember correctly, the reason she wanted to become a hero was to give her parents a better life. In short ... for the money.

Hehe and now that Iida has become a deadweight she's afraid to die with him. So she's probably looking for an opportunity to kill two of us to break free. But she doesn't look like she wants to fight us head-on, according to her sly gaze. She will probably try a treacherous attack during the coming fight.

A hero eh? Ridiculous.

(General POV)

"But before we start, let me introduce myself. You can call me Lionel. I am the last member of the French team still alive. So let's start our fight with a sacrifice… "said the vampire

Then he grabbed Rowen's head before slitting his throat. Blood began to spurt as Rowen struggled to stay alive. But after a few moments, he stopped moving.

A strange scene then presented itself before everyone's eyes. The blood that had spilled on the floor began to flow in the opposite direction. It climbed onto Lionel's body before being mysteriously absorbed into him. The blemishes on his skin began to disappear, his muscles looked better, his hair grew to his shoulders and every bone in his body was making cracking sounds.

Lionel then sighed in satisfaction before saying

"His blood was really nice. I think I got even stronger. "

Hayato who was watching all this had already started to think about how his quirk worked. "I already knew that his quirk gives him almost all the characteristics of a vampire. Super strength, super speed, super regeneration. And now it seems the more blood he absorbs, the stronger he gets. That would explain why his speed was so much faster than at the start of the game. I wonder if he also has the weaknesses of a vampire? I should try attacking him with normal marbles and silver marbles to see if there is a difference. "

While thinking this, he put his hand in his pocket and began to create silver beads.

He then looked at Noah and told him

"Try to fight him, kill him if you can, or just save time. If you can't, I will support you "

Muscular had been too injured and exhausted from his previous fight to be able to fight while Aizawa and the others would be useless with Lionel's speed.

"No problem, I've always wished to fight a vampire. "

Noah then began to stretch and crack his knuckles in preparation for battle.

He started walking towards the vampire while drawing two daggers from his back. He had a crazy smile on his face and his eyes were moving erratically as he was observing every detail of his enemy who was just looking at him with a mocking smile.

" A single person? Are you only sending one person to fight against me? I feel really bad for you buddy, the people in your group must really hate you." Said Lionel

"Impossible, everyone loves me. It's just that a simple little vampire doesn't need more than one person." Replied Noah

"* Sigh * Well you've been warned."

Once he said that Lionel disappeared from everyone's sight

...

(POV Noah)

"* Sigh * Well you've been warned." "

As soon as he said that, this guy disappeared from my sight. When he reappeared, his fingers were less than 10 centimeters from my eyes and approaching with an inhuman speed ...
