Even the mighty body of the Sky King was left with numerous tiny scars by the Feather Blade Storm.
Although this monstrous king appeared to be in a pitiful state, his actual combat power was hardly affected.
The Sky King, flapping his wings in the air, did not continue to unleash his fury.
After enduring the Feather Blade Storm, he instead showed a look of approval towards Hawks and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, I never thought that besides the so-called 'Symbol of Peace,' there would be someone among you mortals who could harm me."
It seemed that even such wild laughter could not satisfy him. The Sky King even reached out to touch his wounded body and continued.
"Not bad, not bad at all."
"To be able to leave scars on my strong body."
"Even to use tactics to put me in a slight, insignificant crisis."
"You, what's your name?"
Hawks, not forgetting to flick his bangs stylishly with all four limbs, then showed a mocking smile and said.
"If you couldn't withstand even this move, I would be disappointed."
"After all, you are one of the few who survived a clash with the 'Symbol of Peace.'"
"You do have some skill."
Out of a slight respect for the criminal's personality, Hawks answered the Sky King's question.
"As for my name, I am the No. 4 Winged Hero, Hawks."
"Of course, I won't give you an autograph."
"So just die peacefully."
After hearing this, the Sky King's face turned grim, his already ugly red face becoming even more terrifying.
"Lowly mortals, you truly cannot understand us."
"If we cannot communicate, then all of you shall fall!"
The Sky King no longer tried to shield his subordinates with his broad wings; he had decided to take the field himself.
And the minions with replication abilities seemed to have gotten some rest, their numbers doubling again.
Just as Hawks faced the Sky King head-on, the other professional heroes also confronted the minions.
Although only about 40% of the heroes in Hawks' search team had flying Quirks, the rest had long-range attack abilities.
For now, the battles between the subordinates were relatively balanced.
The key was still the confrontation between Hawks and the Sky King.
Even if the Sky King unleashed his full speed, he still couldn't get Hawks into close combat range in the air.
Instead, Hawks kept using his "Steel Wings" to create continuous, tricky-angle attacks to harass the Sky King.
Compared to the ancient creature, the Sky King, Hawks, who had been fighting on the front lines for years, was in much better condition. He fully utilized his advantages, seemingly trying to conquer the Sky King by causing bleeding and other means.
In reality, he was stalling for time.
The Feather Blade Storm, shot out by the "Steel Wings," was the pinnacle of Hawks' attack power.
Facing the Sky King, who could resist his ultimate move with his body, Hawks had no particularly effective method.
Ranked fourth among professional heroes, Hawks, and third-ranked Best Jeanist, both had the advantages of wide-ranging Quirk usage and strong rescue capabilities.
But they both shared the same weakness: a lack of attack power.
So, Hawks and Best Jeanist are ranked sixth and seventh in the professional hero battle rankings.
(PS1: It was mentioned earlier that there are two ranking lists for professional heroes.)
Delaying time and waiting for support from comrades is undoubtedly the best strategy.
This has always been the battle strategy of professional heroes.
Enemies that an individual cannot handle are handed over to suitable companions.
At this moment, the Sky King suddenly made a move.
It was like a supersonic plane flying low over the heads of mortals, a terrifying roar that shook the heavens and the earth, a deathly scream exceeding 190 decibels.
In a short time, the entire professional hero side was struck as if by lightning.
Heroes with weaker physical constitutions collapsed to the ground, with blood continuously seeping from their ears. Fortunately, the heroes' physiques were superior to ordinary people, so there were no immediate fatalities.
However, under the onslaught of high-intensity noise, the heroes first felt physical fatigue and eye pain, with severe blurring of vision and tearing.
It must be said that the Sky King's roar attack indeed reversed the entire situation.
Even the No. 4 hero Hawks did not expect the Sky King to have such an unguardable move. His eardrums naturally ruptured, but the pain could not rob this hero of his mind.
At this moment, Hawks felt a hot liquid trickling from his ears.
The sound still made him feel unbearable, with irritability and slowed thinking quietly entangling him.
Even if Hawks overcame these internal factors with extraordinary willpower, the physical damage was unavoidable.
Hawks who barely flapped his wings to stay in the air was drenched in sweat under his hero battle suit, with cramps in various parts of his body.
He vaguely saw the Sky King flying towards him with a smug expression.
A strange thing happened; the Sky King seemed to be able to teleport, appearing in front of him in less than the blink of an eye.
In fact, when high-decibel noise is generated, the sensitivity of the rod cells in people's retinas to distinguish light begins to drop sharply, the reaction time to recognize weak light is extended, and the pupils dilate. When the light recognition ability of the eyes drops to a certain limit, such a phenomenon occurs.
"Is this the end...?" Hawks thought.
The Sky King, confident of victory, laughed heartily.
"Hahahahaha! Fall! How dare mere humans oppose us!"
"Only falling to the ground is the most fitting end for your lowly kind!"
But things did not go as he wished.
The Sky King suddenly found his field of vision becoming strange, as if it had been forcibly divided along the central axis.
Finally, he was horrified to find that he could not make a sound.
The Sky King had no time to feel pain, only experiencing a dizzying sensation.
Until he saw the familiar other half of his body.
He even saw the same stunned eyes and the strange expression on the half face over there, and then his consciousness fell into endless darkness.
